I’ve been using the MacBook Pro M1 Pro for a couple of years as my main laptop, so I was eager to review the MacBook Pro 14-inch M3 (from $1,599), especially since its starting price is $400 less. Think of this laptop as the sweet spot between the MacBook Airs and the even more powerful new M3 Pro MacBook Pros.
So how does the new MacBook Pro M3 stack up? The M3 chip delivers serious power, boasting 60% faster performance than the MacBook Pro M1, as well as a big graphics boost. You can even play games on this laptop with console-like visuals, thanks to hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing.
