MacBook Pro 16"

Apple's flagship laptop for people who mean business/Everyday Objects

The MacBook Pro 16-inch is the machine you buy when you want to edit 8K video on a plane and still have battery left for landing. With an M3 Max chip and a Liquid Retina XDR display, it is simultaneously a feat of engineering and a very expensive way to browse Reddit. It weighs just over 2 kg, which is remarkable given how much power is crammed inside.
