Read our MacBook Pro 16-inch review to find out more about why we rate this laptop. Not only is the MacBook Pro 16-inch (2021) one of the best laptops for editing video, it also just happens to be one of the most powerful laptops on the market. The M1 series of chips were given a boost upon its release, introducing the more powerful M1-Pro and M1-Max to the market, so while we adore the smaller 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro, it can't compete against the 16-inch refresh on performance.Īpple also appeared to have realised it was neglecting the creative market as beloved ports such as the HDMI and a memory card slot were re-introduced on this laptop, alongside newer features such as ProMotion and HDR (High Dynamic Range). The screen in question also happens to be a Liquid Retina XDR MiniLED that can achieve deep blacks and bright whites, ideal for video editing.



For context, the Dell XPS 17 from the same year can achieve just 500, which is still considered to be over average for most laptops. For one, it has a larger screen than its 14-inch sibling which is better for many creatives, as well as the brightness of said display reaching 1,600 nits.
