And that&#8217;s the primary way to justify the price, especially for the $3,499 configuration we&#8217;re testing and the types of applications Apple highlights performance for. (Apple&#8217;s aiming for the market I tend to mentally classify as &#8220;people who create shows for Apple TV Plus, Disney and the like.&#8221;)\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a much easier case to make for gaming laptops at that price, but sorry, Apple, still no. And given the entry price of $2,499, there&#8217;s a big hole for recommendations of a big-screen Apple laptop, for people who just want to be able to see more but don&#8217;t need performance beyond a MacBook Air. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, that base configuration includes only a 512GB SSD. The base M2 Pro processor with 12 CPU cores (eight performance and four efficiency) and 19 GPU cores delivers fine performance for a lot of photo editing &#8212; I&#8217;d probably go higher for, say, medium format work. If you&#8217;re performing tasks that require the outlay for the laptop, you likely need at least 1TB SSD, and would probably benefit from upping to 32GB RAM. That bumps the price to almost $3,100. <\/p>\n<figure section=\"shortcodeGeekboxChart\">\n<h2><span>Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2023)<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<table readabilityDataTable=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            Price as reviewed\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            $3,499, \u00a33,699, AU$5,499\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            Display\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            16-inch 3,456&#215;2,234 254ppi 3:2 aspect ratio; 500 nits SDR, 1,600 nits HDR\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            CPU\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            3.3GHz Apple M2 Pro 12 cores (8P\/4E)\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            Memory\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            32GB LPDDR5\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            Graphics\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            Apple M2 Pro integrated 19 cores\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            Storage\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            2TB Apple SSD AP2048Z, SD card slot\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            Ports\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            3 x USB-C\/Thunderbolt 4, 1 x HDMI 2.1, 3.5mm audio\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            Networking\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            Operating system\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            MacOS Ventura 13.2\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>\n                                                                            Weight\n                                                                    <\/th>\n<td>\n                                                                            4.7 lbs\/2.2kg\n                                                                    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Going all-out with the configuration, with an M2 Max (12 core CPU\/38 core GPU) 96GB memory and 8TB SSD will run $6,499, which is a lot to swallow and excessive for the components, at least on paper. It&#8217;s a little more annoying that it doesn&#8217;t support 128GB RAM, but 96GB is still more than the last model&#8217;s 64GB maximum. I suppose more memory will have to wait for the equivalent of an Ultra chip, though that never made it into a laptop for the M1 generation. <\/p>\n<p>The nice thing, though, is that performance for Apple&#8217;s CPUs is consistent across the lines, meaning the same chip delivers roughly comparable performance in a\u00a0<span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/m2-mac-mini-2023-review-apple-adds-m2-and-m2-pro-chips-to-this-tiny-desktop\/\">similarly equipped Mac Mini<\/a><\/span>\u00a0as it does in a MacBook Pro.

I love the features Apple&#8217;s brought back, especially the dedicated function key row and SD card slot, and the screen seems to still be excellent, at least pending my formal screen testing.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>I do have some nitpicks. The notch at the top of the screen bothers me, though not nearly as much as it does on the <span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/mobile\/iphone-14-pro-max-review-welcome-apples-dynamic-island\/\">iPhone<\/a><\/span> &#8212; there it&#8217;s functionally intrusive because you&#8217;re actually losing space to display necessary information, but here it&#8217;s just aesthetically annoying.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m probably in the minority on this, but I don&#8217;t like MagSafe power connectors and I never have. While I think magnets usually make everything better, with MagSafe the power cord disconnects more frequently than I need it to, like if I put it down on the bed when it&#8217;s plugged in. (A power corollary to that is I&#8217;m really ready for Apple to redesign its awful brick-with-plug that requires babying to remain in almost any outlet I&#8217;ve ever plugged it into.) Plus, despite the previous generation&#8217;s webcam upgrade, there&#8217;s still no Face ID support.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>I had some initial issues with Wi-Fi 6E, such as connecting to and staying connected to my router (an\u00a0<span section=\"commerce-link\" data-track=\"commerceLink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/assoc-redirect.amazon.com\/g\/r\/https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ASUS-Rapture-Gaming-Router-GT-AXE11000\/dp\/B08RWBPBBR?tag=cnet-buy-button-20&#038;ascsubtag=___COM_CLICK_ID___%7C___VIEW_GUID___%7Cdtp\" data-omitnoreferrer data-component=\"leadsTracker\" ROG Rapture section=\"commerce-link\" data-shortcode=\"m2-pro-macbook-pro-16-review-apple-peps-up-its-creative-workhorse\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000E<\/a><\/span>), but finally narrowed them down to a default.

The default leaves the system running at full power draw, as if it was plugged in. On that setting, you&#8217;ll get speed that&#8217;s nearly identical to when it&#8217;s plugged in. But it also delivered excellent battery life in testing, usually about 24 hours on the default (at least for our online video streaming test).\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>On the low power setting that&#8217;s intended to run more quietly and for longer, single core performance dropped the most between power settings (no worse than Intel, though). GPU showed the least differential, though the tests I ran aren&#8217;t terribly stressful GPU tests. Multicore differences fell about where I expected, and I&#8217;ve yet to figure out what my web numbers (HTML5, Javascript and WebAssembly) reveal.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t get longer battery life in low-power mode, though, which did surprise me, since it automatically drops the maximum screen brightness across the range. That mode seems mostly for those days when you need a quieter, please-don&#8217;t-scorch-my-lap system. (It&#8217;s also on the heavy side, but, unfortunately, that&#8217;s how these dense power laptops roll.)<\/p>\n<figure section=\"shortcodeImage\"><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/81ae263c24e7b1f9476c4f0ab1835ba1a5a151f2\/hub\/2023\/01\/21\/1da59a66-3a21-451f-9250-5c26febfcc61\/apple-macbook-pro-16-2023-3222.jpg?auto=webp&#038;width=1200\" class alt=\"Side view of a closed MacBook Pro 16 showing the SD card slot, a USB-C connector and HDMI connector\" height=\"676\" width=\"1200\" data-original=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/a\/img\/resize\/81ae263c24e7b1f9476c4f0ab1835ba1a5a151f2\/hub\/2023\/01\/21\/1da59a66-3a21-451f-9250-5c26febfcc61\/apple-macbook-pro-16-2023-3222.jpg?auto=webp&#038;width=1200\"><\/span><figcaption><span><\/p>\n<p>Apple has upgraded its HDMI connector to support HDMI 2.1 with variable refresh rate support.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span><br \/>\n                                                    Lori Grunin\/CNET<br \/>\n                                                <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You&#8217;ll likely get more of a general performance uplift in creative applications that are really optimized for Metal and Mac than those written for cross-platform compatibility or that have tasks that are basically constrained by CPU or memory performance. For example, file import and thumbnail generation in Photoshop Lightroom Classic is still bound by the number and speed of CPU cores and amount of memory; it will saturate them both. And when importing a medium-size shoot (42MP Sony A7R3 files) with 1:1 preview generation, my typical workflow, it still seemed to take frustratingly long for the previews to finish. The same goes for applying Blur Gallery blurs on selections. <\/p>\n<p>AI-enhanced activities like generating sequences for different aspect ratios using Premiere Pro&#8217;s Auto Reframe (on 5K video) or automatic subject and object selection in LRC and Photoshop do happen quickly, but they don&#8217;t usually take all that long on a decent relatively recent system. <\/p>\n<p>Variable refresh rate over HDMI works &#8212; I tested it with the <span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/computing\/sony-inzone-m9-gaming-monitor-review-a-bright-spot-for-pc-ps5-dualists\/\">Sony InZone M9<\/a><\/span> monitor &#8212; but it seems like a bit of a blunt instrument. If you turn it on, it&#8217;s <em>always<\/em>\u00a0on, like a phone or tablet, not application-enable dependent. Battery powered devices tend to save juice by dropping the refresh rate when you don&#8217;t need it to be high for smooth motion, so even in YouTube it goes up and down unnecessarily. <\/p>\n<p>Unless you need every little speed increase you can get, you needn&#8217;t feel the FOMO if you&#8217;ve got the last-generation MacBook Pro 16. But if you didn&#8217;t jump onto the Apple Silicon bandwagon last go-round and don&#8217;t rely on any applications that will only run on the Intel processors, it&#8217;s probably smart to consider the upgrade this time around.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<h2> Preliminary performance tests <\/h2>\n<figure section=\"shortcodePerfChart\">\n<h3><span>Geekbench 5
