Most recently, we saw Passmark place Apple’s M1, M1 Pro and M1 Mac chips in the top four positions of its performance benchmark charts. We’ve also seen some additional benchmark figures leak that suggest the kinds of speed and performance benefits Apple professionals can expect from these machines. MacBook Pro at present, and while I’m not ready to write the review, I can say the battery life and computational performance it is delivering is phenomenal.) Performance machine, Apple's 'big beast' (I’m lucky enough to be working with a new 16-in. That shared story means you can consider it a barometer for Mac performance. With a 30-year history on Mac, Painter is one of those unique applications to have gone through three major processor transitions with Apple.

That’s significant, but potentially much more so for digital creatives considering an investment in an all-new MacBook Pro.
