Our take on the Apple MacBook Pro: 16" M1 Pro Chip Laptop (2021) 16GB RAM 512GB SSD
The 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro is Apple's pro laptop built around the M1 Pro chip with 16GB of unified memory and a 512GB SSD. Its standout is the mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display, a 120Hz ProMotion panel with high sustained brightness, plus a wide port set: three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, an SDXC card slot and MagSafe charging. Reviewers consistently praise its battery life and near-silent fans under most loads. Against the M2 Pro and M3 Pro successors it gives up some CPU and GPU headroom, but it remains a strong fit for video editors, developers and photographers who want a big screen and long runtime without the top-tier price of newer models.
- Mini-LED XDR display with 120Hz ProMotion
- M1 Pro handles sustained multicore and GPU work well
- Long battery life for a 16-inch laptop
- HDMI, SDXC slot and MagSafe return alongside three Thunderbolt 4 ports
