A glance at the battery indicator around 5 p.m. and began the routine mentioned above with the screen brightness hovering around 50%. I disconnected it from its MagSafe charger around 8 a.m. The 16-inch notebook I tested shattered my hefty expectations by making it through a long and busy workday with more than 50% battery left. Instead, I couldn’t help but marvel at the product’s peerless real-life battery endurance.
According to Apple, the 14- and 16-inch newcomers can deliver up to 18 and 22 hours of screen-on time, respectively - an hour more than their predecessors.ĭespite being nothing short of extraordinary, Apple’s battery life claims are not what impressed me about the power efficiency of the new MacBook Pro. In addition to bringing tons of graphics and processing power, the latest Apple chips treated the new MacBook Pros to longer battery life. The notebook’s vibrant screen and powerful speakers made some onscreen sequences give me shivers. During my testing, I had a blast playing Resident Evil Village - a blockbuster horror game available for Sony PlayStation and Xbox One. The M2 Pro chip makes the big-screen MacBook Pro an excellent gaming rig. I couldn’t slow the notebook down, and neither did I cause it to warm up from the workload I threw at it. The “starter” 16-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro chip I tested made my hectic workflow of running a browser with 20-plus open tabs, editing massive image files in Pixelmator Pro, constantly replying to emails and Slack messages, typing in Apple pages and monitoring social media for breaking news, while streaming lossless audio from Apple Music as seamless as checking on soccer live scores on a lazy Saturday afternoon. In real life, the improvements of the M2 Pro and the M2 Max chips bring instantaneous macOS and app interactions and a superb multitasking experience. So much unified memory guarantees that the M2 Max-equipped Pros will meet the demands of the most discerning power users. MacBook Pro versions with the M2 Max chip can be configured with up to 96GB of RAM - three times more than the 32GB maximum the M2 Pro supports. With twice as many GPU cores and double the memory bandwidth of the Apple M2 Pro, the M2 Max chip offers extraordinary levels of power you wouldn’t expect from a portable computer.
