Apple’s M2 Max-powered MacBook Pros are a beast

The M2 Max is a monster of a chip, packing a 12-core CPU and 38-core GPU. It delivers unrivaled performance and can supercharge your workflow. Apple claims the SoC delivers up to 20% faster multi-threaded performance. It can finish Xcode compilation 25% faster than M1 Pro. Packing a whopping 67 billion transistors and made on TSMC’s 5nm node, Apple says the M2 Max is the “world’s most powerful and efficient chip for a Pro laptop.”

If you want the best possible performance, spring for the 16-inch MacBook Pro. It houses a more powerful M2 Max with a 38-core GPU. This is paired with 32GB of system memory and 1TB of storage. The smaller 14-inch model ships with a 30-core GPU, though it also features 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD.

What’s impressive is that despite packing so much power, the M2 Max MacBook Pros deliver all-day battery life. The 14-inch model can provide up to 18 hours of battery life, while Apple rates the 16-inch variant for 22 hours.

Performance is not the only highlight of the 2023 MacBook Pros. They feature a stunning Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion support and a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. You also get a dedicated HDMI port and SD card slot, three USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports and more.

Save $250 on the 2023 MacBook Pro

Apple’s 2023 MacBook Pro is already expensive. And the M2 Max variant is even more expensive, with the Cupertino giant charging a premium for it. They are also rarely discounted, which is what makes Amazon’s current sale on them even more special.

Take advantage of this deal to get the M2 Max 16-inch MacBook Pro for as low as $3249 and save $250. Or opt for the 14-inch model for $2899 and save $200.
