Testing conducted by Apple in September and October 2023 using pre‑production 16‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M3 Pro, 12‑core CPU, 18‑core GPU, 36GB of RAM and 4TB SSD, as well as production 16‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M2 Pro, 12‑core CPU, 19‑core GPU and 32GB of RAM, production 16‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 Pro, 10‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU and 32GB of RAM, and production 2.4GHz 8‑core Intel Core i9–based 16‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Radeon Pro 5600M graphics with 8GB of HBM2 and 64GB of RAM, all configured with 8TB SSD. Tested with MATLAB and Simulink R2023b v23.2.0 and Parallel Computing Toolbox using a vehicle dynamics model. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Pro. We’re committed to making our products without taking from the earth, and to become carbon neutral across our entire business, including products, by 2030. Testing conducted by Apple in September and October 2023 using pre‑production 14‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M3 Pro, 12‑core CPU, 18‑core GPU, 36GB of RAM and 4TB SSD, production 14‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M2 Pro, 12‑core CPU, 19‑core GPU and 32GB of RAM, production 14‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 Pro, 10‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU and 32GB of RAM, both configured with 8TB SSD, and production 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 13‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics, 32GB of RAM and 4TB SSD. Tested with MATLAB and Simulink R2023b v23.2.0 and Parallel Computing Toolbox using a vehicle dynamics model. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Pro. We tested the HDR Video and the Internet and Web presets and found both to be pretty much spot on in terms of colour accuracy. In these tests, in the HDR Video mode I measured an average DeltaE colour error score of 0.98 and P3 gamut coverage of 98.8%, while in Internet and Web, I measured an average DeltaE colour error score of 0.5 and an sRGB gamut volume of 98.1%.

All of Apple’s M1 chips are essentially minor variations of the same piece of silicon, so it wasn’t a surprise to discover that the 10-core CPU in the M1 Max (divided into eight performance cores and two efficiency cores) delivered similar results to the 10-core CPU in the M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16in we tested: READ NEXT: Our guide to the best laptops you can buy Apple MacBook Pro 16in (2021, M1 Pro) review: Performance

Testing conducted by Apple in September and October 2023 using pre‑production 14‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M3 Pro, 12‑core CPU, 18‑core GPU, 36GB of RAM and 4TB SSD, production 14‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M2 Pro, 12‑core CPU, 19‑core GPU, 32GB of RAM and 8TB SSD, production 14‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 Pro, 10‑core CPU, 16‑core GPU, 32GB of RAM and 8TB SSD, and production 2.3GHz quad‑core Intel Core i7–based 13‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics, 32GB of RAM and 4TB SSD. Tested with a 258MB study size using pre‑release Horos MD. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Pro. The 14-inch MacBook Pro is designed with the following features to reduce its environmental impact: 7 The most noticeable design change is the new 14.2-inch screen size, an almost one inch increase on the 13.3-inch display that comes with the MacBook Pro 13-inch. This extra screen real estate is well used, offering you a much larger area to work on than the 13-inch model, without increasing the overall size of the laptop too much. If the 16-inch MacBook Pro feels too big, and the 13-inch MacBook Pro to small, then the 14-inch could be the perfect compromise. Testing conducted by Apple in September and October 2023 using pre‑production 16‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M3 Max, 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU and 128GB of RAM, production 16‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M2 Max, 12‑core CPU, 38‑core GPU and 96GB of RAM, production 16‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 Max, 10‑core CPU, 32‑core GPU and 64GB of RAM, and production 2.4GHz 8‑core Intel Core i9–based 16‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Radeon Pro 5600M graphics with 8GB of HBM2 and 64GB of RAM, all configured with 8TB SSD. Redshift v3.5.18 tested using a 29.2MB scene utilising hardware‑accelerated ray tracing on M3‑based systems, and software‑based ray tracing on all other units. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Pro. However, if you do need this kind of firepower, for editing 8K footage, arranging elaborate music scores, or compiling and testing complex code, then you simply won’t find a better laptop.

The displays on the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro have rounded corners at the top. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screens are 14.2 inches and 16.2 inches diagonally (actual viewable area is less). The CPU has eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores, and the M1 Pro will switch between these to optimize performance to whatever tasks you're running. For graphics, the M1 Pro comes with a 16-core GPU with 2,048 execution units, and a performance of 5.2 teraflops, which Apple promises is two times faster graphics performance compared to the M1. Just like the 16in model you get the choice of either the new Apple M1 Pro or Apple M1 Max processor. You can add between 16GB and 64GB of RAM, and storage starts at 512GB and runs to a gargantuan 8TB of internal storage. Alongside its big brother, the 14in MacBook Pro sits at the top of Apple’s laptop range and it’s designed principally for creative professionals who need the power of a desktop workstation in something that can be slung in a bag and used on the go. It’s powerful enough to deal with the heaviest workloads, even in its lowest specification, but you still have the choice to ramp up the features if you can afford to.Consumer finance on the Apple Online Store is brokered by Apple Retail UK Limited, which acts as a credit broker and not the lender.
