Q: What's the difference between the pro chip and the Max chip?
A: The difference between the Pro and Max versions of the M3 chips comes down to amount of CPU and GPU cores each possess. Apple's M3 Pro comes in two configurations. The base variant ships with an 11-core CPU and a 14-core GPU, whereas the higher trim offers a 12-core CPU and an 18-core GPU. Although the processor has the same Neural Engine as the regular M3, it provides 150GB/s memory bandwidth, which is 50% more. The M3 Max comes in two models. The base variant has a 14-core CPU and 30-core GPU and ships with 36GB of unified memory. Meanwhile, the top trim has a 16-core CPU, a 40-core GPU, and 48GB of unified memory. These numbers clarify that the M3 Max offers more graphical prowess than the M3 Pro.
A: It comes with iMovie.

Display Quality One of the first things I noticed was the enhanced display quality. The 16" Liquid Retina XDR display offers stunning visuals with vibrant colors and deep blacks, making coding and content consumption an absolute pleasure. The high resolution and ProMotion technology provide a sharp and fluid experience that’s perfect for long hours of development work. Battery Life Battery life on the M3 Max MacBook Pro is impressive.

The silver finish adds a touch of elegance, and the build quality is solid, as expected from Apple. Audio Experience The speakers on this machine are nothing short of incredible. The audio quality is rich and immersive, providing an excellent experience for both video conferencing and leisure activities like listening to music or watching videos. The sound is clear, with a good balance of bass and treble, making it one of the best laptop audio systems I've ever encountered. Final Thoughts Overall, the MacBook Pro 16" with the M3 Max chip is an outstanding upgrade from the M1 Max. It offers superior performance, a breathtaking display, extended battery life, and remarkable speakers. As a developer, this machine handles everything I throw at it with ease, making it an invaluable tool for my daily work. If you’re considering an upgrade, the M3 Max MacBook Pro is well worth the investment.

Really Holding Its Own
So far so good, much needed upgrade last MacBook Pro bought new was the 2018 intel MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar, this new one is everything I've been waiting for and wanting in terms of power, battery life, screen and storage size, and now being M3 Pro being Apple Silicon and being able to get the most out of my computer when running all these rebuilt apps we all know and love that are now silicon native and make this already powerful computer even more efficient and effective to allow for what seems even more power and potential! It's really holding it's own during work (audio/music production, use of Apple Compressor app for videos) and to my surprise during play! Using PCSX2 for Mac and even more surprising using Parallels for custom maps on Windows game (currently have only tried Black Ops 1 custom zombies solo, really good though!!) Only thing that looms is what is to come very soon with Apple and their new M4 chip MacBook Pros and I just hope this purchase stands the test of time in regards to all pervious brand new apple purchases have had a lifetime of around 10 years minimum (with careful use, protective cases/gear and battery replacements of course, old 2018 MacBook Pro still works great for everything I/we use a laptop for) and it can outlast that and more, being its basically the top of the line in regards to MacBook Pros at this time. Can't complain though, got it on a deal and with Best Buy Total Membership so got more of a deal and Apple Care + which is even more bang for the same buck! All in all I would get it asap if needing an Apple computer upgrade AND its on a deal along with Best Buy Total Membership for the apple care, I'm buying all my apple stuff from Best Buy now with this membership, especially if on sale AND EVEN BIGGER discount WITH membership! Thank you Best Buy!
