The macOS laptop has a striking 16.2” Mini LED XDR display with 120Hz refresh (aka Pro Motion), Magic Keyboard with Fn row (no more touch bar), Thunderbolt 4, MagSafe 3 fast charging, and the return of HDMI and an SD card slot. The 2021 model is available with M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, and we tested both for this review so you can see the performance differences. It may be expensive, but it is simply phenomenal. In short, if you’ve always wanted a workhorse laptop that doesn’t short change you when it comes to working on the move, then the MacBook Pro 16in is the laptop for you.
But there are none, however, that manage to deliver the same levels of power and performance of the MacBook Pro 16in combined with the professional display quality – and none come anywhere near on battery life, either. There are many much cheaper laptops that deliver perfectly serviceable levels of power and performance, too. Sure, there are some Windows laptops that have more brute power and many that are better gaming machines. Indeed, there’s no other machine on the market that can match its all-round capabilities.
