MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Pro, 2023) review: a mind-blowing beast of a laptop

Apple's M2 Pro (and M2 Max) silicon sees the 2023 16-inch MacBook Pro absolutely fly. Is this the new untouchable laptop for creatives?

M2 Pro is incredibly powerful (M2 Max more so) ; Yet it still runs quietly and cool throughout ; Mini LED display is simply stunning looking ; HDMI 2.1 (for 4K/240Hz external support) ; Battery life is stupidly good ; Great built-in speakers

Big and heavy in 16-inch configuration ; Barely different to 2021 model ; Oh my, it can get expensive! ; Notched display ; No USB-A port

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...

Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch (2023): a productivity beast that's not for everyone

Big and beautiful

New M2 Pro and M2 Max chips ; Over 20 hours battery life ; Still the best screen on a laptop

Expensive ; Bulky

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 gaming-changing revelation that the 2021 model was, it remains an incredibly powerful...

Apple MacBook Pro review (16in 2023): the ultimate do-anything machine

It ups the ante on 2021's redesigned model - but do the MacBook Pro 16in's M2 Pro and M2 Max represent a leap forward?

Outstanding performance and impressive battery life ; Gorgeous display ; Great connectiviy

More power than many will need ; Undeniably pricey once you start ticking options boxes

The best MacBook model for performance chasers. It’ll be overkill for anyone after a more mainstream machine, but all the laptop creative types could ask for.

Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Pro, 2023) review: The ultimate mobile workstation

The new 16-inch MacBook Pro is a beast of a laptop – but that ferocious power doesn't come cheap

Superb screen ; Loads of video editing power ; Incredible battery life

£300 more expensive than last year ; Heavy

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.

M2 Pro MacBook Pro 16 Review: Apple Amps Up Its Creative Workhorse

Upgraded Wi-Fi and new M2 Pro and M2 Max processors deliver a nice generation-over-generation uptick.

Fast with solid battery life ; Good, bright screen ; Wi-Fi 6E and HDMI 2.1 support

Heavy ; That notch

Apple MacBook Pro 16-Inch (2023, M2 Max) Review

Unmatched laptop power ; Exceptional battery life ; Top-class mini LED display ; Apple's best laptop design

Expensive across the board ; Camera notch still takes getting used to

Apple's 2023 flagship, the MacBook Pro 16-Inch marries a proven, immaculate design with a fireball M2 Max CPU for fierce power in media creation, gaming, and high-end professional tasks. (Plus, it lasted nearly 27 hours on our battery test.)

MacBook Pro 16-inch (M2 Max, 2023) review: The baddest MacBook in the land

The most powerful MacBook has arrived but at an exorbitant price

Powerful overall and gaming performance ; First-in-class battery life ; Excellent audio ; Beautiful display

Really expensive

The MacBook Pro 16 brings beauty, beastly performance and the longest battery life we’ve seen, but the price could be a dealbreaker.

Apple's latest Macbook Pro packs a ton of power and battery longevity into the same frame as the previous generation, but all that extra comes at a price.

Incredible performance ; Beautiful display ; Plenty of ports ; Great battery life

Expensive, particularly with options
