2021 MacBook Pro 16″ | M1 Max | 64GB | 1TB | Astro

Brutal Pro

The most powerful MacBook Pro ever has arrived. For the first time, Apple designed chips specifically for professionals—and introduced two at once: the incredibly fast M1 Pro and the even faster M1 Max. Both deliver outstanding battery life and groundbreaking performance. All of this is paired with the stunning Liquid Retina XDR display, the best camera and speaker system ever in a Mac, plus all the ports you need. This MacBook Pro handles tasks like a true powerhouse

Pro taken to the max

The M1 Pro and M1 Max chips take the incredible capabilities of the M1 architecture to new heights—bringing system-on-a-chip (SoC) architecture to a pro laptop for the first time. Both increase the number of CPU and GPU cores, as well as the amount of unified memory compared to M1. With a powerful Neural Engine for advanced machine learning and enhanced media engines that support ProRes workflows, M1 Pro and M1 Max unlock unprecedented possibilities for professional users

Insanely fast Up to 10-core CPU Up to 16-core GPU Up to 32 GB unified memory Up to 200 GB/s memory bandwidth	Even more powerful 10-core CPU Up to 32-core GPU Up to 64 GB unified memory Up to 400 GB/s memory bandwidth

Blazingly fast

The M1 Pro chip takes the exceptional capabilities of the M1 architecture to a new level for professional users. With up to a 10-core CPU and up to a 16-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, and dedicated media engines supporting H.264, HEVC and ProRes encoding and decoding, it handles even the most demanding projects with ease

Even more powerful

With its 10-core CPU, up to 32-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine, M1 Max is the most powerful chip ever built for a pro laptop. It doubles the graphics processing speed and memory bandwidth of M1 Pro. Its dedicated media engines—one decode engine and two encode engines for up to twice as fast video encoding—along with two ProRes accelerators, deliver even greater performance when working with multiple streams

Choose your chip. Choose your size

And go all in

The new MacBook Pro is available in 14-inch and 16-inch models. Both sizes can be configured with either the M1 Pro or M1 Max chip, and both deliver exceptional performance tailored to professional needs. You can work with millions of polygons in Cinema 4D, edit up to seven streams of 8K ProRes video in Final Cut Pro, and even handle HDR grading of 8K ProRes 4444 footage with ease—even outside a studio environment

All-day battery life

Incredible performance with world-class battery life—that’s the powerful combination delivered by Apple silicon. On a single charge, you can compile up to four times more code in Xcode or edit images in Lightroom Classic for up to twice as long. And unlike other laptops, MacBook Pro delivers the same amazing performance whether it’s plugged in or running on battery

When the workload heats up The advanced thermal system moves 50% more air even at lower fan speeds. And thanks to the efficiency of Apple silicon, the fans often don’t even need to turn on for everyday tasks
Fast and massive With up to 8 TB of SSD storage, read speeds can reach up to 7.4 GB/s—up to twice as fast as the previous generation. You can open 8K videos instantly and store hundreds of thousands of RAW photos on your device

A stunning XDR display

Liquid Retina XDR. The best laptop display ever, featuring extreme dynamic range and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. It brings HDR content in photos, videos and games to life with refined highlights, incredibly detailed shadows and vivid, true-to-life colors. Every display is factory calibrated and offers professional reference modes for HDR grading, photography, design and print production

ProMotion

ProMotion now comes to Mac, making everything from scrolling web pages to gaming smoother and more responsive than ever—while also being more energy efficient. With adaptive refresh rates up to 120 Hz, it automatically adjusts to match the motion of your content. You can also choose a fixed refresh rate for video editing that precisely matches your footage

Mini-LEDs

Thousands of mini-LEDs are grouped into individually controlled local dimming zones, allowing precise control over brightness and contrast

Custom optical films and diffuser layers

Seven films and diffuser layers efficiently mix and shape light, even within such an ultra-thin design

High-mobility oxide TFT

The oxide thin-film transistor (TFT) enables pixel charging that is twice as fast as before, allowing refresh rates up to 120 Hz

LCD panel

The active display area extends closer to the edges—resulting in up to 60% thinner bezels and more room for your content

Remarkable 1080p HD camera

Staying connected is more important than ever. That’s why the MacBook Pro features a 1080p camera with twice the resolution of the previous generation, along with a larger aperture that lets in more light. The image sensor is bigger and its pixels are more sensitive, allowing the camera to perform twice as well in low-light conditions

Three studio-quality microphones With up to 60% lower noise floor, the microphones can capture even the faintest sounds. The three-microphone array uses directional beamforming to ensure your voice is always clear and easy to hear
Six-speaker sound system The four force-cancelling woofers deliver up to half an octave deeper bass, filling the room with up to 80% more low-end. High-performance tweeters ensure vocals sound clearer and fuller
Spatial audio With its six-speaker system and advanced algorithms, MacBook Pro supports spatial audio when playing Dolby Atmos music and videos, creating an immersive three-dimensional soundstage. Combined with the Liquid Retina XDR display, it delivers a truly cinematic, portable experience

More connected than ever

Transfer your photos and videos with the SDXC card reader. Connect to TVs and displays via the HDMI port. Listen through the 3.5 mm headphone jack, which automatically detects high-impedance headphones and adjusts accordingly. Use the three Thunderbolt 4 ports to connect high-performance peripherals or displays, and charge quickly through the MagSafe 3 port with its convenient magnetic connection

Pro keyboard for professionals

The Magic Keyboard, designed with a key travel that delivers the tactile feel professionals love, now features a full-height function key row on MacBook Pro for the first time. You’ll also find shortcuts for Spotlight, Dictation and Do Not Disturb. The new Touch ID sensor with a tactile ring helps guide your finger for faster and easier secure unlocking of your Mac
