The base M3 14 inch still comes in Space Grey. I was very confused. Also drops a USB-C port?
Aaaaand has 8GB shared memory 🤮
When I got my M1 Max MBP I said I imagined upgrading when M5 came out, that’s looking to be on schedule. I see M4 being another iterative release and then M5 bringing OLED, reduced notch, 2nm CPU and more in an actual redesign.
The prices of the M3 Pro and Max are just…dang!
Honestly, I like this. 13 inch is finally dropped and they threw the chip into the 14 inch pro which was better in nearly every aspect. Touchbar was wasted potential and it’s time to move on from it.
Also the pricing ladder on the configuration page is… fascinating.
My only complaint is the damn 8GB of unified memory and especially the 1TB 8GB listed on the site but I will say that the MacBooks do an amazing job in both hardware and software when it comes to ram management.

This Christmas I was going to buy the 15 inch Air with 16GB of RAM and the 1 TB of storage. I’m trading in my current M1 Air so it should be about $500 in trade in.
But now I’m going to have to completely rethink what I buy. The total for the Air as specified above is $1,899. But the 14 inch M3 MBP with the same specs is $1,999. THEN the base M3 Pro MBP is also $1,999 but only has 512 GB of storage but I can get the 1 TB and it would only be $200 more. This laptop is going to be the laptop that gets me through the next 4 years of college and beyond, so I have to figure out what the hell I’m going to get.
Thank god I have another 2 months before I decide.
Heaps of people are going to school and college with M1 Macs, I don’t even see the point of your upgrade since you’re moving from M1 to M2 which isn’t gonna make a dent
I used up a little over halfway of my 256GB SSD when I went to uni.
I’m a full-specced Intel MBP and due an upgrade at my job so was happy to see a (brief) comparison with Intel as well. 11x faster is actually crazy.
I still have the M1 base MBP… and I don’t feel the need to upgrade. Machine hasn’t broken a sweat with everything I’ve thrown at it since I’ve owned it.
This. Same and I don’t see a real plus/value in M2/M3 machines
It’s a shame they only put an M3 chip inside the IMac while the MacBooks get the Pro & Max.
WHAT?! Ive been saving up for the $2500 custom M2 pro. wffffff idk what to do now
Did they really just say up to 11 hours additional battery life, and just breeze past it in 5 seconds like it was nothing?
I’m curious what this was in comparison to, and what accounts for this improvement in battery life.
That alone seems pretty nuts, even without taking anything else into account.
I have zero reason to upgrade from my 14” M1 Pro with 16gb ram. I use it for work and all I do are spreadsheets and email. It’ll last me years. I just use portable ssd’s to increase the base 512gb ssd.
I want my 4th USB-C back…
Very overpriced for what it is…
Not even lpddr5x, it’s just lpddr5, disappointment
Not “blinded” or hyped by M3 specs. Bought MBP M2, 2 months ago. 16GB, 1TB. Replaced my 2013 13” MBP! So, in for a long haul - if the M2 chip proves itself to be as reliable and resilient as the intel was.
