![]() However, neither system could reach a playable 30 fps at the MacBook's native 3024 x 1964 resolution. The M2 Pro MacBook Pro hit 48.6 fps at 1920 x 1200 resolution, compared to 39.3 fps for the 2021 model with M1 Pro. While Apple still has a long way to go in terms of gaming, the new MacBook Pro 14-inch is certainly capable of delivering solid frame rates. ![]() MacBook Pro 14-inch 2023: Graphics and gaming We'll revisit that once we've done our own testing. However, third-party tests of the MacBook Pro 2023 SSD have found that it is slower than the 2021 model, which is a shame. What we did evaluate the entry-level model of the 14-inch MacBook M2 Pro. The M1 Pro MacBook Pro had similar read speeds to the M2 Pro version but the newer MacBook has faster writes. The M2 Max model was a bit faster than the M2 Pro version in this test, and the MacBook Pro 13-inch M2 was about half as fast as the new MacBook Pro 14-inch. ![]() With a 5,293 MBps read speed and 6,168 MBps write speed, the M2 Pro MacBook Pro handily beat the XPS 15 and was well in front of the HP EliteBook 840 G9. Last but not least, we also ran the Blackmagic disk speed test to measure the SSD performance of the MacBook Pro 14-inch 2023 versus the competition. The previous M1 Pro MacBook Pro scored a much lower 806 but had a relatively fast time of 4:54. The Dell XPS 15 (962) and HP EliteBook 840 G9 (929) were not too far behind in terms of the overall score, but they needed a lot more time to complete the tasks. The test also times how long each system takes, and the MacBook 14-inch M2 Pro took 4:20 the M2 Max version was even faster at 3:57. On the PugetBench PhotoShop test, which assigns a score based on how effectively a system uses scripts to apply a series of filters and other adjustments to a number of high-res photographs, the MacBook Pro 2023 scored 988 with the M2 Pro chip and 1,199 with the M2 Max. If you are big into photo editing the MacBook Pro 14-inch will not disappoint. We also tested an HP EliteBook 840 G9 business laptop with a 12th gen Core i7 VPro CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD and Intel Iris X graphics for $2,868. Also keep in mind that newer 13th gen Intel chips are on the way. To be fair, the Core i9 model would be faster but we didn't have that to test. This includes a Dell XPS 15 with a 12th gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD, plus Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics for $2,299. It offers a 12-core CPU, 19-core GPU, 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage for $3,299.įor comparison we also tested two powerful Windows laptops. Thanks to our sister site Laptop Mag, we also have the test results for the M2 Pro version of this machine, although this is a pricier configuration than the entry-level model. Apple sent us a version to test that costs an obscene $4,099, but it offers obscene power to match with a 12-core CPU, 38-core GPU, 64GB of memory and 2TB of storage. The M2 Pro chip starts with a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 16GB of unified memory and 512GB of storage. Go for the M2 Max if you need more graphics might or more oomph for video projects. Whatever you throw at the MacBook Pro 14-inch, this laptop can handle it with ease, whether you opt for the M2 Pro model or M2 Max version. The Dell XPS 15 hit a slightly higher 122.7% and 86.9%, respectively, on the two tests. The MacBook Pro 14-inch's screen registered 117.7% of the sRGB color gamut and covers 83.4% of the more demanding DCI-P3 color space. For comparison, the 13-inch MacBook Pro reaches just under 500 nits. When viewing HDR content we saw as high as 1,447 nits using our light meter for 10% of the display and 1,081 nits for 100% of the screen. I could even make out fine hairs on Grogu's head in a darker scene.Īs expected, the MacBook Pro 14-inch's panel delivered excellent results in our lab tests, starting with brightness. Meanwhile, the rich gold textured cape worn by Greef Karga (played by Carl Weathers) really popped. When watching the trailer I was impressed by the gleaming silver of the Mandalorian's helmet, and I could see fine drops of water on it in one scene. While recording some b-roll for our review video I got so lost in this panel while watching the trailer for Mandalorian season 3 I forgot for a moment I was also supposed to be taking pictures. ![]() It's bright, colorful and offers a smooth 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate. The MacBook Pro 14-inch's mini-LED display is easily one of the best you'll find in any laptop. ![]()
