Deal | Save US$2100 on Apple's M1 Max-powered 16-inch MacBook Pro
As part of a Black Friday sale, the 16-inch MacBook Pro, equipped with the powerful M1 Max chip and originally priced at US$4,899, is now on sale for just US$2,799 on B&H Photo, marking a substantial discount. Despite being launched in late 2021, the M1 Max chip continues to deliver impressive performance, making this deal particularly enticing.
The M1 Max chip, boasting 8 high-performance cores and 2 efficiency cores, represents a significant leap in performance compared to its Intel-based predecessor. Also noteworthy is its exceptional battery life, a testament to the groundbreaking efficiency of Apple Silicon. The laptop features a stunning 16.2-inch MiniLED display with support for adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz, and offers superb color accuracy with deep blacks, thanks to its numerous local dimming zones.
This specific configuration features a 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 64 GB of unified memory, and a whopping 4TB internal SSD. This is a significant improvement in almost every aspect when compared to Apple's latest US$2,899 M3 Pro-powered MacBook Pro, which offers only 36 GB of lower-bandwidth memory, a smaller 18-core GPU which is around 30% slower than the 32-core GPU in the M1 Max, and significantly lesser storage at only 512 GB. The newer M3 Pro does win out in the CPU department, beating the M1 Max by about 20% in GeekBench 6's multi-core test. It must also be noted that the M3 family of chips has support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading, while the older M1 family does not.
Considering the impressive specifications and substantial savings, this deal is a standout opportunity, especially for those prioritizing memory, storage, and raw graphics power. Potential buyers are advised to act quickly and seize the offer before stocks run out.
