The 16-inch MacBook Pro has an Apple M5 Max chip with an 18-core CPU and 32-core GPU, 36GB of unified memory and a 2TB SSD. The GPU has a Neural Accelerator built into each core for faster AI performance and on-device training. Apple silicon is designed to run demanding on-device AI workloads such as LLM inference and training, and Apple Intelligence is included.
The 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display has 1600 nits peak brightness, up to 1000 nits sustained brightness and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The laptop performs the same on battery as when plugged in. It also has a 12MP Center Stage camera, three studio-quality mics, and six speakers with Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos support.
It runs macOS, with built-in virus protection and free software updates. It works with other Apple devices: iPhone Mirroring lets you view and control your iPhone from the Mac, and you can copy on iPhone and paste on Mac. You can also send texts with Messages or answer FaceTime calls on the Mac.
