Apple MacBook Pro laptop 16" M5 Max 18C CPU/40C GPU 48 GB/2 TB, Silver, INT

The 16.2-inch display at 3456 × 2234 pixels offers space that smaller laptops lack. In video editing, the timeline, preview and tool panels stay visible at once, and a developer can keep two code windows side by side. Thanks to the high pixel density, text looks crisp and fine detail in photos stays visible.

The graphics processor in the M5 Max chip has 40 cores. More cores means more calculations running in parallel, which speeds up video exports, effect rendering, 3D modelling and machine learning models. Compared with the 32-core GPU configuration of the M5 Max, this one has a quarter more cores, a difference you notice most in long renders.

The CPU side of the chip has 18 cores. A many-core processor splits work into pieces, so compiling software, compressing large files, mixing audio and working in several apps at once do not slow each other down. The CPU and GPU sit on the same chip and work as one system rather than as separate components.

Apple's unified memory is shared by the CPU and the GPU: graphics are not limited to separate video memory but draw on the same 48 GB pool. That matters for high-resolution video, large 3D scenes and local AI models that need a lot of memory at once. The 2 TB SSD holds the system, apps and several active video projects, so an external drive is not an everyday necessity.

The backlit keyboard has an international English (INT) layout, so the keys stay visible in dim light. Wireless support covers Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), which also works with older a/b/g/n/ac/ax routers, and Bluetooth 6.0. The 1080p FaceTime HD camera delivers a Full HD picture in video calls.

Video editors and colourists whose projects demand graphics power; 3D artists and designers who work with heavy files; developers who compile large codebases or run local AI models; and anyone who wants workstation-level performance in a laptop body.
