And then moving all the way to 32 cores of GPU power costs just another £100 – why wouldn't you, at that point?Īnd if you want the full 64GB of unified memory, that's another £400 on top of everything else we've discussed.

Moving to any version of the M1 Max chip adds the 32GB RAM upgrade in automatically, so while switching to the M1 Max with 24-core GPU (for around a 50% performance boost over the M1 Pro) would appear to cost £200, it actually costs £600. The upgrade to 32GB of RAM from the base 16GB model costs £400, which (as has always been the case with Apple RAM upgrades) seems rather steep… but then, it does function as a very large cache of GPU memory as well as RAM, so it might feel like a snip depending on your needs.

You can also choose 2TB, 4TB or 8TB of storage, with the latter costing £2,400 as an upgrade, doubling the price of the laptop on its own. That entry-level price gets you the M1 Pro processor with 10 CPU cores, 16 GPU cores and 16GB unified memory, plus 512GB of storage.įor the same price, you can get the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the same specs, but with 1TB of storage – to upgrade this model to 1TB will cost £200, so that's effectively the price of the extra screen size and battery. Starting from £2,399, this laptop is an investment, no question.

For this review, we used the M1 Pro version of the machine, with 32GB of memory and 1TB of storage.ĭon't forget to check out our guide to the best monitors for MacBook Pro, and see how this model fits into our guide to the best MacBooks.
