Apple MacBook Pro 16 2023 M2 Pro

100% MacBook Pro 16-inch (2023) review: still an unbeatable laptop
Source: Creative Bloq EN→zh-CN
With Apple redefining the MacBook Pro in all kinds of interesting ways two years ago, it’s no surprise that the 2023 version should feel evolutionary rather than revolutionary. But it’s no worse for that. With new Apple silicon, and careful, considered refinements on board, the MacBook Pro 16-inch remains one of the best – if not the best – laptops in the world right now. From its design and build to its power, performance and battery life, it’s an incredible machine to own and to use. We can’t wait to see what Apple does next.

If you invested heavily in the previous generation MacBook Pro with its M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, then there’s very little here to entice an upgrade – however, if you’ve been hankering for an upgrade to an ageing machine, or are looking at switching to MacOS, then the MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) is a stunning machine. The various price rises (prices have stayed in the States, but risen in regions like the UK) are tough to take, especially when the costs for additional memory and storage are so high. This machine, as a result, is for a very specific type of customer – for once, the Pro moniker isn’t simply a marketing term like it is with the AirPods Pro or iPhone 14 Pro. For many, the MacBook Air M2 is more than enough laptop for a lot less money. You don’t need the MacBook Pro for basic 4K video editing or RAW photo editing, as the M2 chip is more than capable of completing those tasks. But, if you need that extra hit of GPU and CPU then that’s where this MacBook Pro comes in. It also offers a far better display, the option of larger sizes, more ports and faster charging. Once again, Apple has made one of the best laptops around.

85% 2023 Macbook Pro 16-Inch Review: M2 Pro Powerhouse – Performance, Battery Life & Display Brilliance Revealed
Source: Pokde EN→zh-CN
Among many Apple devices, I definitely love their MacBook Pro the best. The 2023 MacBook Pro only made it better. It packs so much punch, hones an extremely beautiful display, and delivers beyond expectation battery life. Sure, the starting price of RM10,799 is hard to fork out, let alone the variant that I’m having at hand that has a price tag of RM14,799 with 32GB RAM and 2TB storage. But you didn’t came all the way to this article to read my review on the MacBook Pro not expecting its price. And if you really need my opinion, if I have to pick one machine to go with me everywhere in 2023, it definitely will be this MacBook Pro!

100% Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Pro, 2023) review: The ultimate mobile workstation
Source: Expert Reviews EN→zh-CN
The MacBook Pro 16in is a fantastic workstation laptop. The display is bright and colour accurate; the performance levels are superb, regardless of whether you buy the M2 Pro or M2 Max version; and battery life is phenomenal. The one fly in the ointment here is the price. Starting at £2,699, it’s the most expensive laptop Apple has ever made and £300 more expensive than the base M1 Pro 16in MacBook Pro. With prices rising across the board in 2023, however, I suspect that it may appear more reasonable in a few months’ time. As it stands, though, there’s no denying that this is the best laptop of its kind. If you can afford it, there’s absolutely no reason you shouldn’t buy one.

What’s the difference between the M2 Pro and the M2 Max?
Source: The Verge EN→zh-CN
Oh, and I don’t imagine that any of you were considering this, but just in case you were — no, it does not make a ton of sense to upgrade to these M2 models from the M1 line. The M1 and M2 MacBook Pros were expensive and fast machines, and they should still have quite a bit of life in them. But if you are still on an Intel MacBook Pro and didn’t spring for the M1 series last time around, either the M2 Pro or Max MacBook Pro will provide a considerable jump up in performance, thermals, and battery life.

86% M2 Pro MacBook Pro 16 Review: Apple Amps Up Its Creative Workhorse
Source: CNet EN→zh-CN
Apple's 2023 update to its flagship MacBook Pro 16-inch line follows the company's usual MO. It offers a modest refresh from the more significantly redesigned 2021 model; notably, upgrades to the latest generation of M2-class processors, Wi-Fi 6E and HDMI 2.1, which means support for displays up to 8K/60Hz and 4K/240Hz as well as variable refresh rates. The combination of the old and new enhances the Editors' Choice-winning laptop's chops as a Mac powerhouse computer for creation and development work. These updates add to the more significant noncosmetic changes introduced with the 2021 MacBook Pro 16: We see a return of the HDMI connector, SDXC card slot, MagSafe charging connector and function key row on the keyboard because buh-bye Touch Bar. There's also a vastly improved 1080p webcam and, the biggie, a migration of the line to Apple's own silicon for the CPU with integrated GPU.

Apple MacBook Pro 14 M2 reviews (2023 M2 Pro/Max model)- beefed up performance
Source: Ultrabook Review EN→zh-CN
Drawing the line, the 2023 M2 MacBook Pros are pretty much the 2021 MacBook Pro designs with updated hardware that delivers 10-25% faster performance between loads, a slight increase in daily-use battery life, and a decrease in battery life in sustained loads. Throw in some updates in connectivity (faster WiFi, HDMI 2.1), and these pretty much sum things up. Sure, the design particularities that bothered me about the 2021 MacBook Pro 14 haven’t changed, such as the notch on the screen, the lack of touch ID or a USB-A port, or the fact that you can’t lean the display back flat to 180 degrees. But everything that I appreciated about this MacBook design hasn’t changed, such as the excellent build quality and inputs, the beautiful display, the solid daily-use performance, and the unmatched efficiency and battery life. Upgrading to one of these makes doesn’t make much sense if you’re already using an M1 Pro/Max model, unless you must have the faster specs for your workloads. However, if you’re coming from an older laptop, these M2 MacBook Pro 14-inch models are solid options to consider. In that case, though, I’d still keep an eye out for discounts on those earlier M1 Pro configurations while still available, especially if shopping at a lower budget.

100% MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Pro, 2023) review: a mind-blowing beast of a laptop
Source: T3 EN→zh-CN
Although I don't see the 2023 MacBook pro as an instant upgrade for users of the 2021 models – unless you're super keen for HDMI 2.1 and 4K 240Hz monitor support anyway – I do see it as an absolute triumph of a laptop for creatives. The addition of M2 Pro adds a modest performance boost, while a maxed-out M2 Max with 96GB unified memory takes things to another level, which will be appealing to a niche of high-level users. Compared to the competition it's Apple's silicon and architecture that makes this an untouchable performance machine. Just as the name suggests: it's perfect for pros.

M2 Pro MacBook Pro 16 Review: Apple Amps Up Its Creative Workhorse
Source: Pocket Lint EN→zh-CN
I don't want to apply the marketing kiss of death and call it a "mobile workstation," but yeah, that's what it is. And that's the primary way to justify the price, especially for the $3,499 configuration we're testing and the types of applications Apple highlights performance for. (Apple's aiming for the market I tend to mentally classify as "people who create shows for Apple TV Plus, Disney and the like.") There's a much easier case to make for gaming laptops at that price, but sorry, Apple, still no. And given the entry price of $2,499, there's a big hole for recommendations of a big-screen Apple laptop, for people who just want to be able to see more but don't need performance beyond a MacBook Air. Furthermore, that base configuration includes only a 512GB SSD. The base M2 Pro processor with 12 CPU cores (eight performance and four efficiency) and 19 GPU cores delivers fine performance for a lot of photo editing -- I'd probably go higher for, say, medium format work. If you're performing tasks that require the outlay for the laptop, you likely need at least 1TB SSD, and would probably benefit from upping to 32GB RAM. That bumps the price to almost $3,100.

The MacBook Pro 16-inch (2023) is another triumph from Apple. The company is clearly comfortable with making its own chips, and while the 2023 model isn’t the game-changing revelation that the 2021 model was, it remains an incredibly powerful workstation laptop with an industry-leading screen and battery life.
