Apple MacBook Pro 16" M3 Pro Late 2023 Overview

By B&H Photo's

Built for all types of creatives, including photographers, filmmakers, 3D artists, music producers, developers, and more, the space black Apple 16" MacBook Pro is the ultimate pro mobile workstation for the ultimate user.

The system features the Apple M3 Pro 12-Core Chip, which provides the power and performance efficiency needed to handle all your professional workflows. Now built on 3nm process technology, the M3 Pro 12-Core Chip is combined with a 18-Core GPU. The next-gen GPU features Dynamic Caching, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and mesh shading, all of which significantly increase performance for the most demanding pro apps and games.

The 16.2" Liquid Retina XDR display features a 3456 x 2234 resolution, 1000 nits of sustained brightness, 1600 nits of peak brightness, P3 color gamut support, and more. With 18GB of Unified RAM, 4TB of SSD storage and improved battery life of up to 22 hours, you'll be able to load massive files and launch apps quickly, enabling you to work with photo and video libraries from almost anywhere.

This Mac comes preloaded with macOS. Updates can be downloaded for free via the Mac App Store. Please check Apple's website for upgrade eligibility.

Designed for All Types of Creatives
Apple M3 Pro 12-Core
Packed with 37 billion transistors, the Apple M3 Pro integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC). Now built with 3nm process technology, the Apple M3 Pro delivers the performance you need without sacrificing power efficiency. The 12-Core CPU features six performance cores and six efficiency cores. The enhanced 16-Core Neural Engine accelerates powerful machine learning models, making AI/ML workflows even faster while keeping data on device to preserve privacy. The M3 Pro offers support for up to 36GB of unified memory.

With an 18-Core GPU, the M3 Pro features Dynamic Caching, which allocates the use of local memory in hardware in real time. Dynamic Caching only uses the exact amount of memory needed is used for each task, which dramatically increases the average utilization of the GPU, resulting in significant performance increases for the most demanding pro apps and games. Hardware-accelerated ray tracing has arrived for the Mac. Ray tracing models the properties of light as it interacts with a scene, allowing apps to create extremely realistic and physically accurate images. Additionally, the improved GPU brings hardware-accelerated mesh shading to the Mac, delivering greater capability and efficiency to geometry processing, and enabling more visually complex scenes in games and graphics-intensive apps. The M3 Pro features two video encode engines, two ProRes engines, and AV1 decode.
16.2" Liquid Retina XDR Display
Featuring mini-LED technology, this MacBook Pro houses a 16.2" Liquid Retina XDR display. Delivering up to 1000 cd/m² of sustained, full-screen brightness, a high 1600 cd/m² of peak brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and a billion colors, the Liquid Retina XDR display can handle the extreme dynamic range of HDR content, providing detailed shadows, brilliant specular highlights, deeper blacks, and vivid colors. The display is less than 4mm thin, which is achieved by having seven films and diffusers that mix and shape the light efficiently.
ProMotion, up to 120 Hz Refresh Rate
With ProMotion technology, the MacBook Pro automatically varies the refresh rate to match the motion of your onscreen content. This helps preserve battery life while also making tasks feel more fluid and responsive. This means that the display can have up to a 120 Hz refresh rate. Video editors will also have the option to lock in a refresh rate that is optimal for their footage.
P3 Wide Color Gamut
The narrow-band LED-powered backlight allows the MacBook Pro to represent the P3 wide color gamut for brilliant, true-to-life color in photos and videos.
Storage, Bring Your Whole Studio with You
The MacBook Pro has 4TB of SSD storage so you can take your photo or video libraries with you no matter where you're headed. And with superfast speeds, massive files load in an instant and pro apps launch in a blink.
Connectivity
Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax)
The MacBook Pro features Wi-Fi 6E for fast wireless connectivity.
Thunderbolt 4
Thunderbolt 4 combines ultrahigh bandwidth with the versatility of the USB-C industry standard to create one revved-up universal port. It integrates data transfer, charging, and video output in a single connector, delivering up to 40 Gb/s of throughput for twice the bandwidth of Thunderbolt 2. Existing devices are easily connected with a cable or adapter. And Thunderbolt 4 is reversible, so no matter how you plug in, it's always right side up.
Display Support
Simultaneously supports the full native resolution on the built-in display at 1 billion colors and:

  • Up to two external displays with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt, or one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz over Thunderbolt and one external display with up to 4K resolution at 144Hz over HDMI.

  • Up to one external display supported at 8K resolution at 60 Hz or one external display at 4K resolution at 240 Hz over HDMI.
  • Advanced HDMI
    The HDMI output supports 8K displays at 60 Hz and 4K displays at 240 Hz.
    MagSafe 3
    MagSafe 3 makes connecting a power cable quick and easy while also protecting your MacBook Pro. Apple also brings fast charging to the MacBook Pro, allowing you to charge up to 50 percent in just 30 minutes.
