When Apple introduced us to the redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros in 2021 it also introduced a new power scheme that saw these Pro-grade laptops outfitted with beefier versions of basic Apple silicon. So instead of the M1 chip, those 2021 Pros could be bought with your choice of an Apple M1 Pro or M1 Max chip.
That strategy held true for a year or two, but now things are changing again with these new MacBook Pro M3s. They still come in 14-inch and 16-inch varieties, but now you can get the 14-inch MacBook Pro with your choice of three different chips: The basic Apple M3 chip, the M3 Pro or the M3 Max.
