If you’re used to tinny sounds pumped out of weak laptop speakers, you’ll be seriously impressed with the sound quality of the MacBook Pro 16-inch. It was loud enough to fill a decently sized room without distortion.

At first glance, the 16-inch MacBook Pro doesn’t look all that different from the 15-inch model. That in itself is a remarkable achievement, considering the larger display the new MacBook Pro features. That’s a huge increase over the 7 hours and 36 minutes the MacBook Pro 15-inch scored in the same test. While the 15-inch model could just about get you through a work day without needing a charger, the 16-inch positively blows past it. Of course, the more strenuous tasks you perform, the faster the battery life depletes, but it’s still a remarkable achievement. Apple takes a complete product life cycle approach to determining our environmental impact.

A larger screen with an increased pixel density is very welcome indeed. But, there’s also the fact that the increase in screen size hasn’t made the 16-inch model much larger than the 15-inch model, thanks to the much thinner bezels surrounding the screen.

Testing conducted by Apple in September and October 2023 using preproduction 14-inch MacBookPro systems with AppleM3Pro, 12-core CPU, 18-core GPU, 36GB of RAM, and 4TB SSD, production 14-inch MacBookPro systems with AppleM2Pro, 12-core CPU, 19-core GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 8TB SSD, production 14-inch MacBookPro systems with AppleM1Pro, 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 8TB SSD, and production 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based 13-inch MacBookPro systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics, 32GB of RAM, and 4TB SSD. Tested with Affinity Photo 2 v2.1.1 using the built-in benchmark version 21000. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBookPro. Sadly we didn’t get to play with that version – instead we’ve reviewed the high-end base configuration, with a 2.3GHz 8-core Intel Core i9 processor, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M, 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD. This is still an incredibly powerful device, and one that many people will go for if you need a laptop for video editing. For many others, it’s wildly over-specced for their needs.
