Review MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) Review: M1 Max Shows Real Power

[Admin]

The 16-inch MacBook Pro is a return to form for Apple, using the M1 Max to provide power while adding more ports and a better keyboard, to boot. The notched display, however, may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Man, I want one!

If I could only install Windows on it!

The future of these chips will be fantastic

You can use Parallels

You can use Parallels

Only to install an Insider preview of Windows for ARM (which isn't strictly supported on M1), and then you'll probably have to run just about everything in the VM under x86 emulation.

I upgraded from a 2016 15" to the M1 Pro 16" the machine is so much much better and the battery life is incredible. It's also instant on fast. I used it last weekend for light office, YouTube, and web browsing and got 22 hours. I loved my previous Pro but the battery on that was a healthy 7 hours. You can fly to Tokyo and use the laptop the whole flight and still not need the mains. I hope/pray competition makes Intel work harder. The next few generations of these may wipe the floor and eat comparable x86-64 chips.

How come you're showing only 77.4% coverage of DCI-P3?

Are you using an inherited color profile - IOW, did you set the the MacBook Pro up from scratch or did you migrate settings?

I'm using Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits) and supposed at that setting you get 100% DCI-P3.

Did I get the US-only newsletter? >90% of the world DOES NOT understand what you mean by "weighs 4.8 pounds and measures 14.91 x 9.77 x 0.66 inches".

Are reviews not getting put on the front/home page ?

Yes, but for all this money you are stuck on the silly MacOS which, truth be told, is about on the level of Windows 3.1 when comes to usability and user friendliness. It is pretty, but not much more.

I've got a loaded 2019 MBP 16 with 5600M and a new M1Max 32gb Macbook 16 in front of me and can't pick which one to keep. If I keep the 2019, I can still continue on using bootcamp and play several games at decent settings while on the road. If I upgrade to the M1 Max, I get a much better screen and CPU for my photography work. It's nice to use LR classic and PS without ever hearing the fans come on at all and get crazy good battery life. But I also like to game on the road and currently macos is a dead end on recent games.

It sounds like you need to keep both.
