MacBook Pro 16" (2021) — M1 Max
Apple's pro laptop maxed out — 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 64GB unified memory, and a reference-grade XDR display.
- M1 Max 10-Core CPU
- 32-Core GPU
- 64GB Unified Memory
- Up to 8TB SSD
- 16.2" Liquid Retina XDR
- Chip Apple M1 Max, 10-Core CPU
- Graphics 32-Core GPU
- Unified Memory 64GB (maximum)
- Storage Up to 8TB SSD
This is the MacBook Pro 16-inch at its ceiling. The M1 Max pairs a 10-core CPU (8 performance + 2 efficiency) with a 32-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, and 64GB of unified memory on a 400GB/s bus — enough to keep multiple 4K and 8K ProRes streams, large 3D scenes, and heavy Xcode builds moving without stutter. Storage scales to 8TB of fast SSD. Above it all sits the 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display: mini-LED, 1000 nits sustained and 1600 nits peak HDR, ProMotion up to 120Hz, and P3 wide colour — a colour-reference panel built into the laptop. For editors, colourists, 3D artists, and developers in Cairo and Alexandria, it is still one of the most capable machines you can carry.
Why Choose This MacBook Pro
- M1 Max, Fully Specced10-core CPU and 32-core GPU with hardware ProRes acceleration for smooth multi-stream 4K/8K editing.
- 64GB Unified MemoryThe maximum for M1 Max — CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine share one 400GB/s pool, so large timelines and 3D scenes stay resident.
- Up to 8TB SSDVery fast internal storage for media libraries, project caches, and back-ups without an external drive.
- Liquid Retina XDR Display16.2" mini-LED, 3456x2234, 1600 nits peak HDR, 1,000,000:1 contrast, ProMotion 120Hz, P3 colour and True Tone.
- Full Pro Connectivity3x Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, SDXC card slot, MagSafe 3, and a headphone jack with high-impedance support.
- All-Day Battery100Wh battery, up to 21 hours video playback, with a 140W USB-C fast-charge adapter.
The Screen and What It Drives
- Built-In Display16.2" Liquid Retina XDR, 3456x2234 at 254 ppi, 500 nits SDR / 1000 nits sustained / 1600 nits peak XDR, ProMotion adaptive up to 120Hz, 1 billion colours, wide P3, True Tone.
- External Displays (M1 Max)Drive up to three external 6K displays at 60Hz over Thunderbolt plus one 4K display at 60Hz over HDMI — four external screens total.
- Notch-Aware Menu BarThe 1080p FaceTime HD camera sits in a notch; macOS keeps the working area a clean 16:10 below it.
Who It's Built For
- The Video Editor / ColouristMulti-stream 4K/8K ProRes in Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve, graded on a reference XDR panel.
- The 3D / Motion ArtistCinema 4D, Blender, and Octane / Redshift on the 32-core GPU with 64GB of shared memory.
- The Music ProducerLarge Logic Pro sessions with hundreds of tracks and plug-ins, silent under load.
- The Software DeveloperHeavy Xcode builds, containers, and simulators with headroom to spare.
