The shipping was so quick even though it was around black Friday I got it within 2 days instead of the previously estimated 7 days. The performance of the laptop was even better than I thought it would be handling my video editing and 3d modeling hobbies pretty easily.
I also started learning unreal engine 5 but using it on this laptop was causing it to heat up too much so I wouldn't recommend it for that purpose.

This baby if I can sum it up in one word wow! I had a 2013 Mac book. This just blows me out of the water at every step of the way! Speakers, display, and quality for an average joe like me it’s more than enough.

Alright, so let's talk about the MacBook Pro M1 Max 16-Inch – and yes, it's as epic as it sounds. First off, that screen? It's like my eyes are getting a spa day – vibrant, crispy, and just plain beautiful. And don't even get me started on the M1 Max chip – it's like this laptop found a way to bottle up lightning. Seriously, I can jump between apps faster than you can say "supercharged."
Now, for a big laptop, it's surprisingly portable. I can take it to my fave coffee spot and still have room to spread out. Plus, I've got to give a shoutout to that battery life – it's like the Energizer Bunny on steroids. I'm talking all-day power without the anxiety of running out.
The fact that they brought back the old-school MagSafe is a win in my book. And guess what? They even threw in some extra ports, so I'm not carrying around a bag of dongles. The keyboard? Oh, it's like typing on a cloud. And the speakers? Let's just say they've turned my room into a mini theater.
Yeah, it's a splurge, no doubt. But you know what? Sometimes you've got to treat yourself to the good stuff. If you're a content creator, a multitasking wizard, or just someone who wants the best of the best, the MacBook Pro M1 Max 16-Inch is worth every penny for the sheer awesomeness it brings to the table.

I have been using the new MacBook Pro 16" Laptop with the Apple M1 Max chip, 32GB Memory, and 1TB SSD in Space Gray for a few weeks now, and it has utterly transformed my computing experience. It’s a combination of superior performance, beautiful design, and advanced features that make this laptop truly outstanding.

Coupled with 32GB of memory, it offers breathtaking speed and efficiency, handling heavy-duty tasks with ease. Whether it's video editing, graphic design, coding, or gaming, this MacBook Pro handles everything effortlessly.
The 1TB SSD provides ample storage space and contributes to the laptop's speedy performance. File transfer and loading times are incredibly fast, which greatly enhances productivity.
Another notable feature is the stunning 16" Retina Display. The resolution is sharp, the colors are vibrant, and the brightness is exceptional. This makes it perfect for creative work, media consumption, or any task that requires accurate color representation.
The battery life on this MacBook Pro is impressive, easily getting through a full day of heavy usage. The efficiency of the M1 Max chip really shines here, making this one of the most portable power-user laptops I’ve ever used.
Apple's attention to detail is evident in the design. The space gray finish gives the laptop a sleek, professional look. The keyboard is a pleasure to use with just the right amount of key travel, and the inclusion of a physical escape key and function row is appreciated. The return of MagSafe charging is another addition that I am thrilled about.
The new macOS complements the hardware splendidly, providing a smooth and intuitive user experience. And of course, the added privacy and security features of Apple devices are always a plus.
In conclusion, the MacBook Pro 16" Laptop with the Apple M1 Max chip is an exceptional device that offers unparalleled performance, superior display, excellent battery life, and a sleek design. It's a fantastic choice for professionals, creatives, and anyone who requires powerful computing on the go.

Review: 16" MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Max Chip

From the moment I unboxed it to now, the 16" MacBook Pro with the Apple M1 Max chip has surpassed all my expectations. Once again, Apple has outdone itself by delivering a laptop with a sleek design and impeccable finish, with the Space Gray color standing out as the epitome of sophistication.
One of the standout features is undoubtedly its performance. Equipped with the Apple M1 Max chip, this MacBook Pro isn't just "fast" - it's extremely agile and efficient. Whether for simple daily tasks or more intensive activities such as video editing, graphic design, or even programming, it never falls short. The advancements of the M1 Max compared to previous chips are evident, and this improvement can be felt with every click and every app launch.
With 32GB of RAM, multitasking is a breeze. Switching between apps, keeping multiple tabs open, or running heavy-duty software simultaneously becomes a completely fluid experience. Additionally, the 1TB SSD ensures quick and secure storage for all my files and projects.
The display, true to Apple's standards, showcases vibrant colors, striking clarity, and contrasts that make any viewing a captivating experience. I must also mention the incredible battery life, which allows me to work for extended periods without the constant need to recharge.
In summary, I'm thoroughly pleased with my choice. The 16" MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip is not just a laptop but a powerful tool that enhances my productivity and meets all my professional and personal needs. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking the best in technology and performance.

I chose this as an upgrade to my mid-2014 MacBook, and it certainly lived up to my expectations. It's a remarkable machine that excels in all areas, from its lightning-fast speed and crisp display to its quality speakers and long-lasting battery life. The only drawback is its weight, but that's a small price to pay for all of the other improvements.

With the release of the M2 Pro and Max chips the M1 Pro and Max Macbook Pros have seen deals. I got mine for $3099 and had bestbuy totaltech memberships so that saved me $200 on apple care with one less year. I’ll just renew when the time comes. I also applied for a my bestbuy credit card to use to receive 10% credit points to use on future purposes. I now have over $300 in giftcard points. The 16in M1 Max Macbook 32GPU, 32GB Ram, 1TB SSD is running parallels, crossover, and even an ARM Linux partition with ease and torrents/website downloads seem quite fast but that could just be my internet at the time. Final Cut Pro had some playback slowdowns during rendering on a 1 hr clip but in the background I had a dynamic wallpaper video playing, an opened game running, spotify, and many safari tabs open. I’m very impressed and everything seems fast and smooth. Even airdrop from my iPhone 12 Max transfered over 1 hr video clips without interruption. Hope to use this laptop for 5 years until M7 Max comes out.

Huge upgrade from mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro

I finally upgraded from a 15" MacBook Pro that I've been using almost daily since July 2012 (without a single issue!). It was feeling a little slow but I didn't realize just how slow compared to the M1 Max... it is FAST! Everything happens nearly instantaneous and the new display looks even better than the old 15" retina display. The battery life is incredible too.

If you're buying this top end model with the M1 Max chip, you really need to have a use for it, like for video editing in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro, or for music production in Logic Pro, otherwise, go for the M1 Pro model. Because of the 32 core GPU you'll be using a bit more battery than the lower models, even when they aren't being used, and still have the same CPU processing power as the M1 Pro.
Be sure to buy the model with the memory you think you'll need in the future, not what you think you'll use today. There is no upgrade path for memory or SSD, it's soldered on to the motherboard. But, 32 GB of Unified memory is probably plenty for most users, the system can also use the SSD for SWAP memory if it needs more. As far as the screen is concerned it is the best laptop screen I have ever seen. I can't imagine what they'll do to improve upon it in the future, except for making it a touch screen, possibly. The build quality of this laptop is top notch, no pun intended (the "notch" hasn't been an issue after the first 10 minutes or so of use), machined from a single piece of aluminum, the chassis is extremely sturdy and the keyboard is very nice and responsive, although it does not have the extended number keypad.
I've used the 16" Apple M1 Max laptop for 3D rendering and it will generate some heat, and the fans will create some noise when you get the CPU usage maxed out, but most of the time it is nearly silent. As of this writing there aren't many software that take full advantage of the M1 Max's GPU cores, but many companies are working to add METAL GPU acceleration in the near future. All in all, this was a good purchase for my work and personal useage.

This is my first MacBook pro after 12 years in software industry. I am a Windows guy and very satisfied with what Windows has provided in past 20 years, and I was hesitated to switch to mac, but I should confess that working with mac is easier and more pleasant for beginners and I can easily transfer my knowledge from Windows world. I could easily install all the software that I need in not time. The screen is the best I have seen in any laptop. The keyboard is so fun to work with and is way better than the older version. The battery is the King! I re-charge my laptop every 4-5 days (I don't watch videos for long time) .The CPU and GPU power is really great. I haven't seen a glitch in running any app yet. The BestBuy sales people were really helpful and made the decision making and purchase process really easy form me. The delivery was exceptionally fast (less than 24 hours) and packaging was top of the line. I received my MacBook pro in mint condition and everything was as promised and expected. I sincerely suggest this machine to anyone who wants to invest on a computer for at least 5 years. Also BestBuy financing programs are better than Apple and although I could use Apple financing , I preferred BestBuy.

Battery is great. Fast. Easy to use for work or play. A bonus is that the fans barely turn on and if so are very quiet. The speakers are surprisingly fantastic. Amazing for laptop speakers and still good when compared to many larger options.
