Description
The MacBook Pro 16" is now powered by the M1 Pro or M1 Max chip, two revolutionary chips that delivers professional performance on a notebook computer, outstripping even the M1 MacBook Pro.
The M1 Pro offers up to a 10-core CPU and up to a 16-core GPU, with access to up to 32GB of unified onboard memory and up to 200GBps memory bandwidth. The M1 Max ups that up to a 32-core GPU, up to 64GB of unified memory and up to 400GBps memory bandwidth. Add in dedicated encode and decode media engines that support H.264, HEVC, and ProRes codecs, and it's clear that MacBook Pro is the ideal notebook for creative users.
The M1 Pro MacBook Pro can play back up to 20 streams of 4K ProRes on its Liquid Retina XDR display (which also boasts 1000 nits sustained brightness - double that of the previous generation - a million to one contrast ratio and support for a billion colours). ProMotion technology delivers refresh rates of 120Hz for smooth, responsive playback, gaming and more.
With up to 21 hours' battery life, the ability to compile up to four times more code in Xcode and up to 8TB of 7.4GBps SSD storage, moving to the M1 Pro or M1 Max MacBook Pro is the key to unlocking a whole new level of productivity. Its 1080p camera, three studio-quality mics and six-speaker array with better bass all ensure your voice and video calls are crisper than ever - and support Dolby Atmos spatial audio for truly immersive playback.
Apple M1 Max processor: 32 GB
1 TB hard drive: None ; 16.2 in ; display: IEEE 802.11n,IEEE 802.11ac,IEEE 802.11b,IEEE 802.11a,IEEE 802.11g,Bluetooth 5.0,IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)
The 16.2-inch MacBook Pro (2021 model) features Apple's all new M1 Pro & M1 Max Chips with increased performance compared to the standard M1 Chip; and an all-new design. Sleek bezels around a beautiful Liquid Retina XDR display makes this MacBook nearly all screen, and ProMotion technology furthers the experience. Improved speakers, mics, and a 1080p FaceTime HD camera makes the 2021 MacBook Pro perfect for video calls and meetings from both home and the office.
Please note: When deploying a Mac with a T2 Security Chip or M1 Chip, you can only deploy them via your MDM software (or manually per each individual device) - just like you would when deploying a group of iPads. All other methods of deployment are not compatible with the Apple T2 Security Chip and M1 Chip, including: Imaging, Netboot, Netinstall, DeployStudio, Workgroup manager, Munki, StarDeploy, USB / Thunderbolt, and AutoDMG.

Scary faster
M1 Max delivers two times faster graphics processing and double the memory bandwidth of M1 Pro. And it has a dedicated media engine for decode and two for encode - with up to two times faster video encoding - and two ProRes accelerators for even higher multistream performance.You can do this all day
Ferocious performance with game?changing battery life - that efficiency is the magic of Apple silicon. MacBook Pro delivers the same amazing performance whether it's plugged in or not.The coolest part
Advanced thermal systems move 50 percent more air, even at lower fan speeds. And thanks to the efficiency of Apple silicon, the fans never turn on for many tasks you do every day.Liquid Retina XDR
It features Extreme Dynamic Range and a million to one contrast ratio. HDR content comes to life in photos, video, and games - with refined specular highlights, incredible detail in shadows, and vibrant, true-to-life colors. Each display is factory calibrated and features pro reference modes for HDR color grading, photography, design, and print production.ProMotion
ProMotion comes to Mac for the first time, making everything from scrolling through a web page to gaming super fluid and responsive - while also reducing power consumption. With refresh rates of up to 120Hz, the adaptive technology automatically adjusts to match the movement of the content. ProMotion video editors can also choose a fixed refresh rate that precisely aligns with their footage.Heads up - the camera's 1080p HD
Staying connected is more important than ever. That's why the MacBook Pro camera has double the resolution - 1080p - and uses a lens with a wider aperture that lets in more light. Together with a larger image sensor that has more efficient pixels, the camera delivers two times better low?light performance.Three studio?quality mics
Thanks to mics with an up to 60 percent lower noise floor, MacBook Pro can capture even the subtlest sounds. And the three-mic array uses directional beamforming so your voice always comes through loud and clear.Six-speaker sound system
Four force-canceling woofers reveal notes up to a half-octave deeper and fill the room with up to 80 percent more bass. And the high?performance tweeters project clearer, fuller vocals.Spatial audio
Thanks to the room?filling six?speaker system and advanced algorithms, MacBook Pro supports spatial audio when playing music or video with Dolby Atmos, creating a sophisticated, three?dimensional soundstage. Combine that with the Liquid Retina XDR display, and it's like having a portable theater.More plugged in than ever
Transfer photos and videos with an SDXC card reader. Connect to TVs or displays with HDMI output. Listen using a 3.5 mm headphone jack that detects and automatically adjusts for high?impedance headphones. Connect to high-speed peripherals or displays with three Thunderbolt 4 ports. And fast?charge using the quick?releasing MagSafe 3 port.More pixels than ever
Connect up to three Pro Display XDRs and a 4K TV with M1 Max. Or connect up to two Pro Display XDRs with M1 Pro.Pro power meets pro keyboard
For the first time, Magic Keyboard brings a full?height function key row to MacBook Pro - with the tactile feel of mechanical keys that pros love. It includes keyboard shortcuts for Spotlight, Siri, Dictation, and Do Not Disturb. And Touch ID has a tactile ring that guides your finger for a fast, easy, secure way to unlock your Mac.
