Apple MacBook Pro “M1 Max” 10 CPU/24 GPU 16″ Specs

The Apple MacBook Pro “M1 Max” 10-Core CPU/24-Core GPU 16-Inch (2021) technically is a “configure-to-order” configuration of the MacBook Pro “M1 Pro” 10-Core/16-Core 16-Inch (2021), but also is documented as a separate model for reader convenience. Compared to the standard model, this custom configuration generally will have a different CPU, GPU, and RAM.

The Apple MacBook Pro “M1 Max” 10-Core CPU/24-Core GPU 16-Inch (2021) model features a 3.2 GHz Apple M1 Max processor with ten cores (eight performance cores and 2 efficiency cores), a 24-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, 32 GB of onboard RAM, and a 512 GB or 1 TB onboard SSD. Both the RAM and the SSD could be upgraded at the time of initial system purchase, but not subsequently.

Offered in silver and a darker “Space Gray” color, this notebook has an integrated 1080p FaceTime HD webcam, a “high-fidelity six-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers,” a backlit “Magic Keyboard” with a “Touch ID” sensor (but no “Touch Bar”), and a gigantic “Force Touch” trackpad.

Additionally, it has a high-resolution LED-backlit 16.2″ widescreen 3456×2234 (254 ppi, 1000 nits sustained, 1600 nits peak, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio) “Liquid Retina XDR” display, and a integrated battery that provides an Apple estimated 14-21 hours of runtime.

Connectivity includes 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, three Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C connector), an HDMI 2.0 port, an SDXC-capable SD card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a “MagSafe 3” power connector.
