'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Get a whopping $1,100 off the MacBook Pro M1 Max at B&H Photo right now
MacBook discounts are very rare, and even rarer still are steep discounts. But right now at B&H Photo, you can save $1,100 on the MacBook Pro 16 with M1 Max chip. But you'll have to act fast: With a deal like this, stock will sell out quickly -- especially with Black Friday coming up at the end of the week.
Along with the M1 Max CPU, the MacBook Pro 16 is built with 32GB of RAM, a 32-core on-chip GPU, and a 1TB SSD. The 16.2-inch display uses Apple's Liquid Retina XDR technology to produce bold colors and deep contrasts. It also has a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, so you can easily see your work, webpage, or video in harsh overhead lighting and even in broad daylight. And if your storage needs change, the MacBook Pro M1 Max can support up to 8TB of storage for all the room you'll need for raw video, photo, and 3D model files.
The MacBook Pro M1 Max has Thunderbolt 4 ports that allow you to quickly transfer files between devices and storage drives as well as charge mobile devices and even connect secondary displays if you need more room to multitask. The built-in speakers work with Dolby Atmos to create virtual surround sound for a more immersive experience while listening to music or streaming shows and movies. And with a 21-hour battery life, you'll be able to work all day and well into the night before you even need to think about plugging in.
