Civilization VI averaged just 43 fps at 1080p and Ultra detail and turning the graphics detail down to High hardly improved the frame rate. It’s not all good news for the Mac, however. Asus’ ROG Strix G15 with AMD’s Radeon RX 6800M averaged 75 and 105 fps, respectively. The MSI GE76 Raider, packing Nvidia’s RTX 3080, averaged 100 fps in Warhammer and 119 fps in Tomb Raider.

However, other Windows laptops can compete with or beat the Pro 16’s game performance. It averaged 80 fps in Total War and 59 fps in Tomb Raider. Dell’s XPS 17, which we tested with Nvidia’s RTX 3060, is far behind in both. Shadow of the Tomb Raider averaged 85 fps at 1080p and Highest detail. The M1 Max delivered an average of 115 frames per second (fps) in Total War: Warhammer II at 1080p resolution and Ultra detail. This is the highest GPU core count of any Apple M1 chip.
Processor performance is only half the story M1 Max also has 32 GPU cores, double the 16 cores in Apple’s base MacBook Pro 16. Asus’ ROG Strix G15 AMD Advantage Edition, for example, rendered the scene in three minutes and 19 seconds. With that said, a few Windows laptops can beat the Pro 16 in this test. The CPU rendered Blender’s BMW car test scene in three minutes and 32 seconds, a task which took the Dell XPS 17 four minutes and five seconds. The Pro 16 was excellent in real-world application tests. The MSI GE76 Raider was able to take the lead in Basemark and Speedometer tests, but the Dell XPS 17 (and other Windows laptops) remained behind. M1 Max did well in other CPU benchmarks including Cinebench, Basemark, and Speedometer. Apple’s M1 Max has a clear advantage in this test. The Dell XPS 17 we tested with Intel Core i7-11800H processor achieved a single-core score of 1564 and a multi-core score of 7999, by comparison, and MSI’s GE76 Raider with Intel’s Core i9-11980H hit 16, respectively.
The Geekbench 5 benchmark, which tests raw processing power, spat out a single-core score of 1777 and multi-core score of 12791-exceptional numbers, the best we have seen to date from a laptop processor. It was paired with 32GB of memory and a 1TB hard drive. Our Pro 16 packed the full-fat Apple M1 Max chip with 10 CPU cores and 32 GPU cores. The MacBook Pro 16’s battery life would be exceptional even for its least powerful iteration, but that’s not the model we tested. Apple’s MacBook Pro 16 demolishes similar Windows competition, lasting three to four times longer on a charge. Apple’s 13-inch and 14-inch Pro models are more portable, but have smaller batteries, pushing battery life into the low teens (depending on model).īut this feels like a nitpick. This is a large, heavy laptop, measuring 14 inches wide and weighing almost five pounds. However, unlike Windows alternatives, the Pro 16 has truly useful endurance in the most demanding apps. Owners with demanding needs (like video editing or gaming) will want to charge it more frequently. Those with a habit of charging it nightly may never see it dip to a critical level. Using the laptop for a workday of document editing and online research placed the battery below 75%.įor many, the Pro 16 will last two or three days before it needs to be topped off. At times, the battery drained just a few percent after an hour of web browsing.
Even Windows laptops built for portability, like the Dell XPS 13 or the 13-inch Microsoft Surface Pro X, last less than ten hours.īattery life held up in real-world use. To date, that's the longest a laptop battery has ever lasted in all our testing.īy comparison, Dell’s XPS 17 (one of the best large Windows laptops available) achieved just six hours and 43 minutes in the same test. The Pro 16's battery lasted for 22 hours and 32 minutes during our standard battery test, which uses a macro to simulate web browsing in Google Chrome. There’s a lot to love about the MacBook Pro 16, but one feature leaps beyond excellence and is truly revolutionary: The battery life. The MacBook Pro 16's battery can last up to 22.5 hours! It’s expensive, but Apple has packed a lot of performance, and battery life, into every inch of its MacBook Pro 16. Serious power users can boost RAM up to 64GB and unified memory up to 8TB for a maximum all-in price of $6,099. Our tester was a high-end, $3,499 configuration with the M1 Max, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of memory. The range starts with the $2,499 base model that has an M1 Pro chip, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of unified memory.
