The 16-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro and M2 Max takes power and speed to the next level, whether it’s on battery or plugged in. With a stunning Liquid Retina XDR display, all the ports you need, and all-day battery life—this pro laptop goes anywhere you need.
Q: Is this computer good for content creation, vlogging, video editing and creation?
A: More than you need. This is basically the power of my desktop computer with portability.
Q: Is this laptop good for gaming? Such as Call of Duty?
A: This not a gaming laptop. Yes you can play game by installing windows on parallel., but it won't be even close to any cheaper gaming laptop in 1000 - 1200$ range. But the user experience and quality is by far better than any windows laptop. I use it for all my development and not having any over heating problem. The overall experience of this machine is way better than any windows laptop.
A: No, this will be the max amount of RAM you can have. It is essentially built onto the CPU so it cannot be upgraded after the fact.
A: Yes to both your questions. As a video editor myself, I can tell you that it handles editing as well as rendering in 4K quite excellent. You’ll be very pleased with this machine’s performance. It really is lightening fast.
Q: are they loaded with Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro
A: No. You have to buy them separately.
Q: Can the 1TB ssd be upgraded?
A: undefined
A: No USB, only 3 thunderbolt ports and other connections .
The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.
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.
