The Apple MacBook Pro 16 2021 M1 Pro is a powerful laptop with a full-fledged version of the M1 Pro chipset. It has a quiet cooling solution and fast charging capabilities. The battery life is not as good as the original M1, but it is still decent. The laptop is expensive, but it is worth the investment for those who need the power and flexibility it offers. It is a great choice for productivity tasks, and it can handle most design software natively. However, some users may experience slow setup times.

M1 Max MacBook Pro 16 Review - Should YOU Buy One In 2022?

M1 battery life is absolutely overkill.

I have the M1 Pro 16 and I haven't tested out battery life yet as I plan to use it as a desktop but I will get a chance to test it out on my next trip. On the other hand, it's quite chilly in my area right now and my 2015 MacBook Pro 15 is nice for keeping my legs warm when I'm using it in the living room. It has 5 hours of battery life which is fine for casual browsing and email. My daughter has the M1 MacBook Air and she thinks that the battery life is insane.

Verdict - The new design works better on the MacBook Pro 16

In review: Apple MacBook Pro 16 2021 M1 ProThe new MacBook Pro 16 leaves a slightly better overall impression compared to the smaller 14-inch model. The bulkier chassis design is not quite as noticeable and the full-fledged version of the M1 Pro is more convincing. The cooling solution is also quieter and you will hardly hear more than a quiet murmur with most tasks

Sold my 16" MacBook Pro and bought an M1 MacBook Air. Never been happier, never looking back.

So I installed MacsFanControl to keep it cooler. It sucked, having to deal with a very hot or loud MacBook. I kid you not, **the 16" MBP heated up my entire room during winter. ** It was very uncomfortable.

I don't see the problem

Very quiet machine, even when CPU/GPU is maxed out, the sound of my 16" MacBook Pro w/ i9 with a small amount of load is much louder and can drown it out. To be fair, I don't know what sound levels with the glass panel option are like; it might be fairly quiet as well.
