Customers frequently mention the exceptional performance and impressive battery life of the MacBook Pro 16". The large screen size is also praised, along with the ample RAM and ease of use. While some find the price high and the weight noticeable, many appreciate the improved graphics capabilities and additional features like the HDMI 2.1 port.
You are looking for validation to justify your purchase, or you are doing research because you are ready to spend big bucks on a nice machine and don’t want your investment to go to waste. (Am I in the ballpark?) I was there not too long ago and I was definitely in the ‘i really hope it’s worth it’ category. It does everything I need it to do productivity wise. I do not tax it like your average consumer, but it hasn’t struggled to serve up a single app to date. The closest this baby came to hiccuping based on use was me raising the rendering distance to 81 on Minecraft, and maxing out the resolution for the lols. Yes, this baby can run Minecraft at max settings with insanely high render distance on. No, I wouldn’t say it should be run at specs the ps5 / newest Xbox could only dream of. Now, with that in mind.. you know that office products, email, web and other simple tasks are a piece of cake. A lot of artists and videographers like using the device for editing, rendering, and transferring myriad large files on any given day. If that is you, I recommend you grab a m2, even the base with 32mb unified ram will be quite swift and blaze through demanding apps. Finally, the screen is as gorgeous as you would expect from a high end MacBook Pro, size is great for a desktop replacement and minimal to moderate travel. If you need something more portable for daily use, or want to have it on your lap all the time while at home, this may not be the one for you. If that describes you, check out the 14 inch m2 with similar stats, maybe bump up the ram and you will not regret the purchase. Overall, this thing can fly.. so glad I pulled the trigger and I’m sure you will be glad you did too!

This is without a doubt the best, most powerful and visually stunning laptop for artist both graphic and fine art with anything from Adobe Photoshop to Escape Motion's Rebelle 6 which is extremely resource intensive as it replicates in real time the actual physics of live watercolors in process. Together with and iPad Pro for drawing surface this is hands down the only way to go! I can't wait for the new next generation iPad Pro to come out and work in tandem with this truly powerhouse for a virtual artist studio!

I've been wanting a Mac for so long, coming from having all pc's. The 16" screen size, the extra-long battery life, fast speed, its sleekness, the touch to open option and the backlit keyboard is a win. The only negative thing is that I did not realize that it does not come with a usb connection. Initially, I was so disappointed, but found an adapter at Best Buy with several other useful ports, so I was totally happy after that.
