Featured:
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 Max 16-Core Chip, which provides the power and performance efficiency needed to handle all your professional workflows. Now built on 3nm process technology, the M3 Max 16-Core Chip is combined with a 40-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 64GB of Unified RAM, 1TB 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 Max 16-Core
Packed with 92 billion transistors, the Apple M3 Max 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 16-Core CPU features twelve performance cores and four 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 Max offers support for up to 128GB of unified memory, unlocking workflows previously not available on a laptop, such as AI developers working with even larger transformer models with billions of parameters.

With a 40-Core GPU, the M3 Max 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 Max 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.

    Asked by: Dan
    The Apple 16" MacBook Pro (M3 Max, Space Black) is not designed to play the highest end AAA games. That being said, League of Legends should be no problem for the GPU cores on any MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro also has active cooling to prevent it from overheating under stressful workloads.

    Does the Space Black color show fingerprints? I have a Midnight Macbook Air and it shows everything that touches it.
    Asked by: Michael
    While the Space Black color can still show fingerprints, it isn't as pronounced as on the Midnight color on the MacBook Air. Lighting will also affect how the fingerprints are perceive, everyone has a different level of tolerance. The best option would be to visit a store and compare the colors in person before making a purchase.
