Conclusion

Overall, if you are thinking of buying a Macbook the 16-inch 2021 M1 Max or M1 Pro is the best option. The M1 is distinct in that it combines the CPU, RAM, and GPU into a single architecture. As evidenced by our review, this translates to noticeable performance gains. The 16-inch model offers more than just performance improvements. There are numerous design changes to consider, such as the mini-LED display and the increased battery life. With the reintroduction of HDMI, a memory card reader, and even a new version of MagSafe, Apple is reversing its trend of reducing the number of ports on a device. It's clear that Apple recognizes that people still want ports. Simply looking at the list of changes, the new Apple Silicon 16-inch MacBook Pro will be a strong upgrade candidate for many existing Intel users.
