About this MacBook Pro
The Apple MacBook Pro “M3 Max” 14-Core CPU/30-Core GPU 14-Inch was launched in late 2023. This model was introduced on October 30, 2023, and features a range of enhancements over its predecessors.
At the heart of the MacBook Pro M3 Max is a 4.05 GHz Apple M3 Max processor, which includes fourteen cores (10 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores). This powerful CPU is complemented by a 30-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine, making it well-suited for demanding tasks and applications. The model comes standard with 36 GB of “unified” onboard RAM, which can be upgraded at the time of purchase to a maximum of 96 GB, depending on the configuration.
For storage, the MacBook Pro M3 Max starts with a 1 TB onboard SSD, which can also be upgraded at the time of purchase. However, like the RAM, the SSD is not user-upgradable after purchase.
The display is a standout feature, with a 14.2-inch LED-backlit Liquid Retina XDR screen offering a resolution of 3024×1964 at 254 ppi. It boasts impressive brightness levels (up to 1600 nits peak for HDR content), a high contrast ratio, and supports 1 billion colors, Wide color (P3), True Tone, and ProMotion technology.
In terms of design, the MacBook Pro M3 Max is offered in silver and a new “Space Black” color, moving away from the traditional “Space Gray.” It includes a 1080p FaceTime HD webcam, a high-fidelity six-speaker sound system with force-canceling woofers, a backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, and a large Force Touch trackpad.
Connectivity options are comprehensive, including Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, an SDXC-capable SD card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a MagSafe 3 power connector. The battery life is estimated to be between 12 to 18 hours, depending on usage.
This model supports up to four external displays, with varying resolutions and refresh rates, offering great flexibility for professional users who need multiple screens.
