The source emphasizes in particularthe return of charging via MagSafe (third generation), which according to her allows you to last up to sixteen hours straight while working. During the evaluation, the machine worked in particular on photo editing. But when it comes to working on video editing, the autonomy here increases to twelve hours: be careful.

Pour

  • the power of the latest Apple silicon M1 Pro processor
  • the return ofSD card and HDMI cable port
  • the speed of theMagSafe 3
  • frame rate at 120 Hz (ProMotion technology) on the 14.2-inch model

Against

  • “no SIM card slot“
  • the "prix”: way too expensive compared to the competition

  • THE "fans” on the side may cause problems; they are not as “watertight” as before and could quickly become clogged

PourUrAvgConsumer, “no one likes the notch“. At least it's clear.

Karl Conrad

The YouTuber was able to carry out a benchmark to measure the performance of the MacBook Pro with M1 Max processor, 16-inch version. With Geekbench, the score is 1,787 points in single-core and 12,691 points in multi-core: it is more than excellent. Still, for such a high price, Conrad believes that the product should be equipped with a button that he can simply click on to edit all his videos in the blink of an eye, automatically. (😂)
