Put simply, it’s the best MacBook that Apple has made, but, as expected, it does remain expensive. All this definitely stacks up to make the MacBook Pro M1 16-inch one of the best laptops for photo editing. Plus, you get all the M1 goodness, like compatible iOS and iPadOS apps and impressive battery life regardless of what you’re doing. Then there’s the chip itself, which takes the baton from the M1 version and runs with it, offering huge performance gains across basic and more demanding tasks. The notch that holds the camera is still here sadly, but we’re willing to let that slide, especially since it now holds a 1080p webcam (that’s right, the 720p sensor is finally gone).
