Apple MacBook Pro 16", M3 Pro with 12‑core CPU, 18‑core GPU, 18GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, Keyboard / US English with Touch ID

Three giant leaps.

MacBook Pro blasts forward with the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips.

Built on 3‑nanometer technology and featuring an all-new GPU architecture, they’re the most advanced chips ever built for a personal computer. And each one brings more pro performance and capability

Apple M3 Pro Chip

Building on M3, the M3 Pro chip features more CPU and GPU cores and additional unified memory, driving even greater performance for those with more demanding workflows like researchers, coders, and creative pros.

So stitching together and manipulating gigantic gigapixel panorama images or compiling millions of lines of code is even faster.

M3 Pro compared to previous MacBook Pro models.

Hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

For the first time, MacBook Pro features hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

Combined with the new graphics architecture, it enables pro apps to deliver up to two and a half times faster rendering performance and allows games to provide more realistic shadows and reflections.

Amps up apps.

With thousands of apps optimized to unlock the full power of macOS and Apple silicon, M3 chips accelerate performance like never before. Now apps just soar — from your go-to productivity apps to your favorite games and hardest-working pro apps.

The best display ever in a laptop

Extreme Dynamic Range (XDR) brings refined specular highlights, incredible detail in shadows, and vibrant, true‑to‑life colors.

Calibrated in the factory, each Liquid Retina XDR display also features ProMotion and pro reference modes.

Dive into Liquid Retina XDR

1 - 10,000 mini-LEDs grouped for precise brightness and contrast.

2 - Custom optical films and diffusers mix and shape light efficiently.

3 - LCD panel enables refresh rates of up to 120Hz.

Crisp. Clear. Commanding.

1080p camera. It makes video calls feel more like the real thing — with technologies to help you look sharp in any light.

Studio-quality three-mic array. Captures the subtlest sounds in audio production and minimizes background noise so your voice comes through loud and clear.

Six-speaker sound system. Two pairs of force-cancelling woofers with two tweeters fill the room with sound

All the right connections.

MacBook Pro packs a powerful array of ports for connecting high-speed peripherals, driving high-resolution displays, or directly offloading SDXC cards. And it supports both Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

Drive external displays. Connect one high-resolution external display with M3, up to two with M3 Pro, or up to four with M3 Max.

Touch ID

The Magic Keyboard comes with a full-height function key row and Touch ID, which gives you a fast, easy, secure way to unlock your Mac and sign in to apps and sites.

Secure by design. 

Your fingerprint data is converted into an encrypted mathematical representation that helps eliminate the need to remember passwords.
