Customer Ratings & Reviews

I just finally upgraded because I could not take having no more storage and running low on ram with my original M1 Pro 16gb/512gb. Running benchmarks puts me at nearly 2x-3x the power in both cpu and gpu from my previous machine, and I am so happy to have 2TB of storage that I have been able to finally replace my windows laptop with a VM in parallels so I only need my macbook now. I mostly do web/app development with occasionally doing game development, 3d cad modeling, video editing, car tuning with windows vm and also play some games when I am on the go or want to be on the couch. It simply handles everything and really makes it seem like I could just keep going and do everything at the same time, only thing I would be hesitant to do on this spec is run my own local LLM but I wasnt very much interested in that to begin with. Purchasing online, I was able to price match to apples education discount and pick it up locally, which saved me having to drive 2+ hours away to my closest apple store and I still qualified for an extra member bonus so all around I am super happy to support my local store where I used to work all those years ago! Also, silver is the color to get, space gray and black used to be my favorite but something about the classic silver just looks better these days!

It’s a beautiful computer, lots of power for just about any level of work needed. It does get warm, keep an eye out for throttling. Benchmarks aren’t quite as good as advertised, but still very impressive. As always, Best buy customer service was great and worked with me on price matching!

Nice Mac. Amazing power. Big screen, amazing sound quality.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro - Apple M5 Max chip with 18-core CPU and 32-core GPU - 36GB Memory - 2TB SSD - Silver is a powerful machine that just gets things done. Its speedy brain handles tough video projects, big photo edits, and lots of open apps without slowing down or getting loud and hot. The big, bright screen makes colors vivid and everything looks super clear, while the long battery life lets me work or watch movies all day without hunting for a plug. It’s surprisingly light for its size, feels really well made, and turns everyday tasks into something that feels like a brisk run rather than a grueling marathon.

Beautifully made, strong, fast and silent. Im very happy with my upgrade from mac pro 2000.

The speed in this laptop is insane. I use my computers for 3D modeling and rendering. For Blender, the M5 Max is as fast as a 5070 Ti desktop GPU, which is honestly mind-blowing. CPU work like simulation is also very fast. I think Apple has finally destroyed the competition in the hardware department. This is great if you know your specific software works well on MacOS.

Great performance and battery for a high powered machine

I wanted the best laptop apple makes and this is it. Everything from tha 120Hz promotion screen to the studio quality speakers feels premium. I was worried about the price but seeing the thunderbolt 5 speeds and the 20+ hour battery life made it worth every penny. If you want a laptop that will stay fast for the next 7 years get the Mac.

Best investment for my career growth! This computer is awesome!

Very good product…highly recommended…go for it….best in the category

Awesome machine. Best purchase. I ever made. Yes, I recommend it to everyone I know.

Can't be beat for Parallels running Windows 11....Amazing for LLM development.

MacBook's are awesome! No other Brand or Laptop for me!

They handled everything perfectly. It was delivered a day late because of the address was wrong.

I like that it never gets hot and the response time is good
