webcam all speak directly to Apple&#8217;s M3 MacBook Pro design.<\/p>\n<p>The 16-inch laptop is built around Intel&#8217;s Core Ultra 9 185H processor running 16 cores, 22 threads, and a 5.1GHz turbo boost, with GEEKOM&#8217;s proprietary Dynamic Tuning Technology keeping it at a sustained 55W under load.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-6e73c24b-1133-4598-9983-ac4130f7d51d-2\">At $799, this notebook is an
