The SoC, memory, and storage are configurable you can see the available options in the table below. We tested the Apple MacBook Pro 16 with an M1 Max SoC (10 CPU cores, 32 GPU cores), 32GB of memory, and 512GB of storage. The M1 Max chip has other features like a wider memory bandwidth and more video encoders and decoders, so depending on your workload, it might be worth getting the M1 Max over the M1 Pro. However, the choice of the SoC limits the memory configuration options as you can only pair the M1 Pro models with 16GB or 32GB of memory, while the M1 Max models are available with 32GB or 64GB. If you have a lighter workload that doesn't require as much graphical processing power, you can configure the MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro chip with 16 GPU cores or an M1 Max chip with 24 GPU cores. Our Apple MacBook Pro has an M1 Max SoC with 10 CPU cores and 32 GPU cores, 32GB of unified memory, and 512GB of storage. Also, the display's response time is slow, causing noticeable blur trails behind fast-moving objects. ![]() Although the M1 chip has enough graphical horsepower to run demanding games, performance can vary wildly as very few games are optimized for its ARM-based SoC. Its M1 Max SoC can handle nearly every type of workload with ease, and due to its power efficiency, the battery life is fantastic, lasting 15 hours of light productivity. It has a wide port selection, including a full-size HDMI port, USB-Cs with Thunderbolt 4 support, and an SD card reader. The keyboard feels great to type on, the touchpad is large and responsive, and the webcam's video quality is outstanding, producing a well-exposed and detailed image for video calls. The display is sharp and color-accurate, and it gets more than bright enough to deliver a true HDR experience. It has a 16 inch display like its predecessor, the Intel-based Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2019) however, this newer model has a Mini LED backlight, and it can adaptively ramp up the refresh rate up to 120Hz for smoother motion. Let us know if you decided to go to the dark side of the OS.The Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2021) is a premium laptop featuring Apple's M1 Pro and M1 Max SoCs (System on a Chip). We hope these suggestions helped you in your quest for a premium laptop. The GPU starts with a lower-end Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, but you can upgrade it to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM, which is powerful enough to handle VR. It also comes with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD like the MacBook Pro. ![]() While its 7th Gen Core i5 processor is a little behind the times, it can be upgraded to a powerful Core i7. The most suitable replacement I can think of for a MacBook Pro, that matches it in size and display, is the Alienware 13 R3 OLED (starting at $1,599). Or, if you want to save a few bucks, you can even check out our best sub-$1,000 gaming laptops. If you aren't tied down to a Mac OS, then I would highly recommend getting a more powerful Windows gaming laptop for a similar price point. While there are some notable games for the Mac, like Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Rise of the Tomb Raider, the biggest issue with your request is that there is still a very limited selection and the Mac's graphics card won't be able to handle as much as a high-end GPU. Seriously though, if you're playing modded Minecraft, get the 16GB of RAM. But, if you happen to be stuck between the choice of the CPU and RAM, a better processor would be more beneficial, since 8GB of RAM can handle most of your tasks (except a modded- out Minecraft server). ![]()
