Our take on the Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch M2 Max

The MacBook Pro 16-inch M2 Max is Apple's top-end laptop for heavy creative and technical work. Its M2 Max chip pairs a 12-core CPU with up to a 38-core GPU and up to 96GB of unified memory, backed by a 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with 1600 nits peak HDR brightness and ProMotion. It suits video editors, 3D artists, developers and audio producers who need sustained performance away from a desk. Against Windows rivals it trades upgradeability and raw GPU options for quiet, cool running, long battery life and a strong display; owners rate it highly for exactly that balance.

Questions and answers

Is the M2 Max worth it over the M2 Pro?
Yes if you render video, work in 3D or run GPU-heavy tasks regularly; the extra GPU cores and memory bandwidth show up in sustained work. For office and light editing, the M2 Pro model is enough.
Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?
No. Memory is part of the M2 Max chip package and the SSD is soldered, so choose the configuration you need at purchase.
How does it compare with the M1 Max model?
It is faster in CPU and GPU work, adds HDMI 2.1 and Wi-Fi 6E, and keeps the same display and chassis. Owners of the M1 Max gain mainly on the heaviest workloads.
What is in the box?
The laptop, a USB-C to MagSafe 3 charging cable and a 140W USB-C power adapter.
Is it good for gaming?
It runs many Mac-native and ported games well, but the library is smaller than on Windows and many titles are not available.
How many external displays can it drive?
Up to four external displays: three 6K at 60Hz over Thunderbolt plus one 4K at 144Hz over HDMI.
