The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) is almost identical to its larger 16-inch sibling, only in a smaller package which makes it better for those who don't like to lug a large device around with them all day.

See our full MacBook Pro 16-inch review for more details. The lofty price tag can be a hard pill to swallow, but rest assured that its worth every penny. There's no arguing that this is going to be the absolute best choice for most photographers, from novice all the way through to professionals. You're even getting a whopping 1,600 nits of brightness, over triple what the Dell XPS 17 offers (at around 500 nits, which is still considered over-average). To top it off, the display feels like it's been designed with photographers and photo editors in mind, with a 16.2-inch mini LED screen and P3 wide colour support, along with a higher 3456 x 2234 pixel ratio, which ensures your photos look incredible.

In our tests it ran for almost 20 hours on a single charge, which means this is a laptop you can use out in the field without keeping an eye out for power outlets. You can connect up to two additional 6K displays if you want some more screen real-estate for editing (making a powerhouse of the best computer for photo editing), and you're not compromising on battery life as you would with many Windows-based portable workstations.
