For those that are curious, I have the 1tb m3 pro and my write is around 5.9-6.0gbps and read is around 5.3-4gbps. I’ve always wondered about this cause no one talks about it anywhere. Not a huge difference at all from the 512gb, so if storage is not a concern, don’t be afraid of buying the 512gb. Toodles~
Thank you so much for reviewing the M3 Pro version of the M3 series of chips. So many others are just either talking about the M3 or going straight to the M3 Max & skipping over the M3 Pro altogether. I understand M1 Pro or M2 Pro owners not wanting or needing to upgrade. But if you're like me & you haven't had the funds to jump in on the M1 Pro or M2 Pro versions fairly soon after Launch, then the M3 Pro is worth looking at which is the machine I will be going for.
That’s because everyone else has review units from apple, they didn’t send out the m3 pro models for review, just the base m3 and max. We should see more reviews of the pro over the next couple days.
@@TheWesrocks123 which is true the base m3 and m3 pro are very incremental when compared to the Max which is a substantial upgrade this year. I don’t find this surprising because it would seem that apple is trying to create a bigger gap between the pro and the Max.
I've already got the pro chip arriving today in the mail. So just giving it 2 weeks to see if I should upgrade to the Max in 2 weeks. Win win either way @@DesertTriDad
OMG i had the exact same machine!!! it,s not longer portable , but still is doing their job! i can,t imagine the giant leap forward with the new machines!
I admittedly bought the M3 Pro 14" model over a refurb M1 Pro or M2 Pro due to the Space Black color. 🙋♂ I don't need the power of a MacBook Pro either, but wanted the better display, better speakers, and extra ports. I could've gone with the M1/M2 Pro for less money, but I really love the Space Black. Performance-wise, my M1 MacBook Air is still a rocket, so I imagine the M3 Pro should be more than enough for years.
What do you think of the Space Black Color? Also how the M3 Pro compares to the M2 Pro AND NAND SPEEDS? P.s Battery was at 86% after all this testing and installs - AMAZING!
Except of the internals, it seems to be pretty much the same laptop with the same design flaw as last year: the camera notch. It's strange times when Windows laptops look better. But of course the battery time is better with MacBook.
Matt, M2P and M3P don’t have ssd’s they have nand chips soldered to the mb, a wear part not easily replaced. This is a strike against it. Black like older electronics meh.
About the question: "should you upgrade?". Depends on the person's needs. For someone who is working in IT (software development), it could be a great upgrade performance wise.
Thanks for reviewing a system with the M3 Pro! I'm looking at the 16-inch MBP with the M3 Pro. I want the larger screen and the M3 Pro is the minimum processor on the 16-inch. And M3 Max would be too pricey for my needs. In terms of RAM and storage, I'm thinking of maxing out the M3 Pro's RAM to 36 GB (the most you can get with the M3 Pro) and opting for at least 1 TB storage. I would be upgrading from a mid-2014 MBP 15-inch with Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD. This was the second to the last model with the light-up Apple logo on the lid, all of the ports, and the old scissor keyboard. All before the move to the butterfly keyboard, Touch Bar, and USB-C/Thunderbolt ports only. Having a machine that is 9 years old is a testament to the longevity and power (even as a Core i7) of the MBP.
This is probably the exact one I’ll buy, it just seems to make sense with ram and hard drive size. I’m not a video editor or anything like that but I want a new computer that will at least last 4-5 years and beyond.
Definitely a perfect device for me to upgrade my intel based MacBook Pro 2019! Can’t wait to get my hands on it! Thank you Matt for all the details in this laptop!
I had a first gen base m1 mbp with upgraded 16gb ram. I just got the mbp m3 pro with the 14cpu and 18gpu cores and 1tb. Worth the upgrade in my opinion. 256gb was a joke on a pro laptop.
Finally, a review of the base model 14" M3 pro MacBook Pro! Seriously, almost every other review is reviewing some upscaled version of this laptop, which is out of my budget. I've got an M2 air, and while I love the small, thin form factor I did blow it and get the 8gb RAM/512gb storage config and that 8 gigs of RAM even with the upgraded storage is starting to chug with what I am doing in school. Also, just an extra little bit of screen real estate would be nice. And that space black is just gorgeous. Thanks for this video!

how's the performance? I have seen a lot of reviews where they suggest the m3 MBA as a better value machine. I do video editing in Da Vinci and I am wondering whether I should wait for the m4 series.
@@niilousnelson3771 So far so good, but I'm sure the M4 lineup will be pretty good. I have yet to really test some of the work load on it with music production and video editing due to work taking most of my time. But hopefully after the summer and fall season I'll have more time to really dive into some creative hobbies, but as I said before its been great so far.
I think it is a sweet spot for M1 MacBook Pro owners to upgrade, if you consider used value of your current Notebook. Figured that if I sell my M1 Max and swap it for an M3 Max I would be set off about 700 Euros, think the difference will not be lower again.
Alex zeskind says keep the M1 Max, unless you export videos and do YT all day as one of his exports takes 30 mins. Speedometer 2.1 was fast on the m3 pro. 537 and 575 in his unboxing. Matt should do those tests as most people use single core or surf the web on mbp. 😂
I think here are my thoughts, If you have an M2 no need to upgrade, If you coming from maybe an M1 or really the intel chip then it is a more compelling upgrade. The M3 is a leap forward if you get the Max chip but even then many users are still fine with M2 chip as they are still relevant
The only thing I wish I had on the M2 is ray tracing. I'm really not much of a gamer, I've only ever needed ray tracing one time (and even then, it was the mod that needed it and not the base game, so I really am not missing out on much).
So I'm looking to get my first Apple computer to go with my iPhone I got this year, and I was thinking about getting a Mac MacBook M3 14 inch with m3 pro processor and possibly 36 GB RAM instead of the 18 GB RAM. Since I was thinking of going up in RAM to future-proof it a bit for 3-5 years before upgrading again. I already have a Windows gaming desktop at the moment so I decided to possibly go with a Macbook for my computer so my phone be connected to it etc. I don't do much gaming these days so I'm potentially looking to phase out my gaming computer in the future since I just don't need that level of gaming prowess. That being said I still plan on doing some gaming on a mac book, mainly games like Runescape and possibly whatever titles catch my interest that are available on Steam on Mac, I will most likely be hooking my mac book to my 32-inch monitor via HDMI, rather than using the built-in screen for the most part.
everyone talks about exporting on Final Cut but no one ever mentions the scrubbing performance or adding plugins/luts. Showing REAL WORLD use for apps instead of the export times would be so appreciated.
That will come in another video for more in depth but for day one, this is the best most YT creators can do. Look out for our 2-4 weeks reviews for that kind of information
@@MattTalkTech that'd be awesome! Just copy and paste an edited timeline and see how fast it can finish the background tasks or if there are any scrubbing/playback delays
Instead of this 11/14 core model go for M3 Pro with 12/18 cores, nearly 29% more gpu cores for a very affordable price. I also went with the 1TB SSD, well worth it. Believe it or not, the 1TB SSD gives me 6300 WRITE and 5100 READ in Blackmagic.
Hello there. Nice to have you again. Hope you’re doing well. I really love your works and clips and I do love APPLE. I wish I could buy a new iPhone 15 soon. Happy to see you again

If I had a choice, I'd love to get a 13inch MBA M2 in silver. My old laptop was a 2013 15inch Macbook Pro and it recently got broken. I think the new MBA is the best in terms of price, performance, and portability. By the way, love this new video on the 14 inch M3 Macbook Pro review! Keep the news coming!
@@MattTalkTech I have got the M3 Pro MacBook Pro, 1TB, 18 GB Unified Memory. I honestly can’t tell you how much different it is, and you definitely weren’t lying about the difference with intel based macs, and apple silicon!!
I currently have the macbook air 2019 1,6 GHz dual-core intel core i5, 8 RAM. I'm thinking of upgrading to this one :) Can't wait to notice the difference and be able to work faster on my mac!
I do like that apple had the macbook black in colour but is it much of an upgrade from the m2 Pro macbook and with final cut Pro coming to the ipad aswell as a magic keyboard which dou you most prefer especially if you were strictly into photography and content creation putting aside the hard-core activities that need more power.
As a graphic design student who consistently runs photoshop, lighroom, and illustrator, my ipad does not have the same capabilities as a macbook. I find myself having to work on a lot of projects on the school computers
Thanks for review mate! Could you compare 16" M2max vs. 16" M3pro with same hardware on both? That would be amazing because everyone compares max vs max or pro vs pro. If the newest pro version is similar to maxed previous version I'll go for the newest to get those extra 100nits for the same money. Thanks in advance!
Just upgraded from 2019 intel. Was not sure if I wanted to get a 16 or 14 inch. I got the 14… haven’t received it yet but I hope I made the right decisions
Thank you for doing the geekbench scores on the M3 pro! Haven’t seen any of these scores yet and picking up my M3 Pro 16in. Have a regular M1 chip 13inch MBP with touch bar now so excited to jump from M1 to M3 Pro. I’m picking up 12CPU, 18GPU, 18RAM M3 Pro so I’m curious if my 18GPU will be better than the M2 Pro 16GPU - any thoughts? Thanks! Love your videos.
@@sword_master-972 I stuck with 512gb. Couldn’t afford another 200$ for the 1TB and I have a bunch of external drives. Don’t travel too much with it, which is why I went for the 16inch, so will be home/local to use drives.
In your opinion, how well do you think the base M3 pro 14 inch MacBook Pro would perform for music production I have been trying to find answers everywhere and so far no one is talking about the M3 pro at all and just the base M3 or the max version.
Thanks for your review:) I did never own a MacBook but I’m planning to get one when it’s coming out in Holland (9 November). The price for a m2 pro 16gig with 512gb is here 2300 euro and the m3 pro 18 ram with 512gb is 2550 euros. I can’t chose which one is better overal device. I want to use use it for trading, Final Cut Pro and surfing. Price doesn’t matter between the 2 of them, I just want the best. Which one u prefer then ? Please help me making a good choice
I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade from my mid 2020 iMac with the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT (GPU) to one of these. I want something portable and a little faster than the iMac for a big project that I'll be doing for the next 12 months or so. But is the iMac technically faster than the M2 Pro and M3 Pro? Are the M2 Max and M3 Max the only chips with enough GPU to compete with the desktop I already have? Seriously asking, I don't know how to figure this out.
@@MattTalkTech Makes sense. The projects I do are essentially online courses, which sometimes need motion graphics, green screen keying, etc. But 85% of the work is 4K video editing. So… 🤔
M2 Pro for you, look at the Exports of H.265 what is the most common format people who export at, apart from actual Hollywood/netflix movie makers. Also if you are recording on a sub $2000 digital camera or even your iPhone with point and record, again most likely you will be recording in an H.265 or H.264 format and M2 Pro and M3 Pro are neck and neck here with working with these formats as they both have the same video encoders and decorders@@jcsdarnell
looking for a major upgrade from Lenovo ideapad to this machine but one thing is backing me off and that is price difference in in India compare to other country i have to pay more like 200$ that is very unjustified.

@@mamache2028hey how has ur laptop been? I'm getting the same, I'm a computer science student & need it for projects, how is it going w editing is 512gb enough?
With 512gb of hard drive are you not extremely limited on the programs you can have installed? Q: Did you do the other vid yet about apps and stuff like you said? Been a month now.
I had the exact same situation. I got it yesterday and it is crazy faster. Pro-motion kicks really well on the screen, the overall performance is better at doing absolutely anything. Oh and it open instantly, even on external displays. That is nuts.
I’m interested in the m3 pro pricing and in more depth would be greatly appreciated. I have a 2012 MPB WITH 16 GIG OF RAM AND 1T SSD. IS IT TIME TO UPGRADE IHAVE BEEN WAITING TO ORDER.
I'll stick with my M1 MacBook Air, though it struggles a lot with my audio projekts. Apples marketing strategy to cut back from M2 to M3 to force you to buy the most expensive model annoys me.
To replace a 27 core i5 iMac with 64 ram, which Mac do you recommend for a very good upgrade in terms of power and everything? Without going to the most expensive
If you want a desktop, the the iMac m3 is the way the way to go. Cheaper CPU version comes with only 2 thunderbolt ports. If your fine with a laptop, m2 pro macbook pro 14 inch is good enough. If you use it for Photoshop or video editing, the m3 macbook pro 14 is the way to go.

The only thing I wish I had on the M2 is ray tracing. I'm really not much of a gamer, I've only ever needed ray tracing one time (and even then, it was the mod that needed it and not the base game, so I really am not missing out on much).
So I'm looking to get my first Apple computer to go with my iPhone I got this year, and I was thinking about getting a Mac MacBook M3 14 inch with m3 pro processor and possibly 36 GB RAM instead of the 18 GB RAM. Since I was thinking of going up in RAM to future-proof it a bit for 3-5 years before upgrading again. I already have a Windows gaming desktop at the moment so I decided to possibly go with a Macbook for my computer so my phone be connected to it etc. I don't do much gaming these days so I'm potentially looking to phase out my gaming computer in the future since I just don't need that level of gaming prowess. That being said I still plan on doing some gaming on a mac book, mainly games like Runescape and possibly whatever titles catch my interest that are available on Steam on Mac, I will most likely be hooking my mac book to my 32-inch monitor via HDMI, rather than using the built-in screen for the most part.
everyone talks about exporting on Final Cut but no one ever mentions the scrubbing performance or adding plugins/luts. Showing REAL WORLD use for apps instead of the export times would be so appreciated.
That will come in another video for more in depth but for day one, this is the best most YT creators can do. Look out for our 2-4 weeks reviews for that kind of information
@@MattTalkTech that'd be awesome! Just copy and paste an edited timeline and see how fast it can finish the background tasks or if there are any scrubbing/playback delays
YES !! Someone finally asking the real questions !
Instead of this 11/14 core model go for M3 Pro with 12/18 cores, nearly 29% more gpu cores for a very affordable price. I also went with the 1TB SSD, well worth it. Believe it or not, the 1TB SSD gives me 6300 WRITE and 5100 READ in Blackmagic.
just upgraded from 2017 i5 MacBook Pro to this 14 inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro and my golly. It is amazing!
Ooo WOW! A BIG UPGRADE!! Do you love it?
@@MattTalkTech very much :)
Just purchased a CTO 14" M2 Macbook Pro with 64gb of ram from MicroCenter for $1300 lol
It crushes
Thank you for M3 Pro overview . i will be upgrace from an Intet Macbook pro 13” (2019) to the M3 Pro 14: 512 GB basic version.
My M3Pro gets delivered tomorrow. It’s replacing my 2016 intel MBP with touch bar. It was a great machine. But it’s time.
Ooo wow! You will notice a BIG UPGRADE! Enjoy it!
Can’t wait to get it !!!
Hello there. Nice to have you again. Hope you’re doing well. I really love your works and clips and I do love APPLE. I wish I could buy a new iPhone 15 soon. Happy to see you again
Beautiful Design!!..I would definitely invest in one. Thanks for the spec's descriptions.
No worries, thanks for watching!
Was waiting for this video, thank you matt❤
Just ordered the 14” MacBook Pro on B&H pre Black Friday sale at $200 off. Looking forward to it coming from a 13” M1 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.
Great review
I currently have a 2017 MBP w/ only 8gigs of RAM.. cannot wait to upgrade to this 14 inch MBP.. its gonna be a rocket ship compared to my old pc
Awesome, you will love the upgrade I am sure!
So glad they have the new laptops it in the educational store
the new color looks very nice, one more reason to get one of the new MacBooks, hopefully in 2024
Wow finally you unboxing with the new MacBook M3 pro thanks for sharing with your unboxing reviews and comparisons to M2 pro I really enjoyed watching you making always and great and very nice Videos 🤩😍❤️💯
Thank you for your review Matt
Awesome bro thanks for sharing this
No problem 👍
Looks nice I plan to get the m3 pro
very good review thank you
love the thumbnail selection haha
You should mention that the m2 pro is the binned version, the unbinned m2 pro is close to the m3 pro
Ooo right cool! But as I mentioned this binned version is most likely the most common one sold
If I had a choice, I'd love to get a 13inch MBA M2 in silver. My old laptop was a 2013 15inch Macbook Pro and it recently got broken. I think the new MBA is the best in terms of price, performance, and portability. By the way, love this new video on the 14 inch M3 Macbook Pro review! Keep the news coming!
No internal fan. Just get the MBP
Gonna get the base 16, hope I enjoy it (I will, likely)
I am sure you will love it!
I just upgraded from a 2015 intel MacBook Air!
Awesome! What have you upgraded to?
@@MattTalkTech I have got the M3 Pro MacBook Pro, 1TB, 18 GB Unified Memory.
I honestly can’t tell you how much different it is, and you definitely weren’t lying about the difference with intel based macs, and apple silicon!!
I currently have the macbook air 2019 1,6 GHz dual-core intel core i5, 8 RAM. I'm thinking of upgrading to this one :) Can't wait to notice the difference and be able to work faster on my mac!
You got one new subscriber today that's me 👍
I do like that apple had the macbook black in colour but is it much of an upgrade from the m2 Pro macbook and with final cut Pro coming to the ipad aswell as a magic keyboard which dou you most prefer especially if you were strictly into photography and content creation putting aside the hard-core activities that need more power.
As a graphic design student who consistently runs photoshop, lighroom, and illustrator, my ipad does not have the same capabilities as a macbook. I find myself having to work on a lot of projects on the school computers
Very nice color! Will stick to my m2max MacBook though. Right now I’m saving for an iPhone 15pro ❤
Thanks for review mate!
Could you compare 16" M2max vs. 16" M3pro with same hardware on both? That would be amazing because everyone compares max vs max or pro vs pro.
If the newest pro version is similar to maxed previous version I'll go for the newest to get those extra 100nits for the same money. Thanks in advance!
I’m trying to decide between the new base model M3 Pro or refurbished M2 Pro? Mostly for video/photo editing
Reading too…
@@zamirahmad35m2 pro. For youll get more cores, and 1T.
I getting an Ultra Watch II. waiting on the iPad updates..
Down to earth review. Finally. Everone speaks abour m3 max which is not relevant for most users
Just upgraded from 2019 intel. Was not sure if I wanted to get a 16 or 14 inch. I got the 14… haven’t received it yet but I hope I made the right decisions
You did, I had 16 i9 16", now 14" m3 pro. It feels amazing...
Which one would you recommend for Music Production.. coming from a Windows Laptop
Depends how many music feeds are coming into the MacBook also, do you use multiple external monitors? More than 2?
@@MattTalkTech Just 1 ext monitor.. multitrack external interface for input/output
I love my touch bar. I am weird. I am sad that they did not contiue it. I use is soo often with media control and also play piano on it.
So a MacBook M1 Pro chip would be the best choice,because the upgrades are very incremental.
Thanks!!!
Hey Matt you always get me excited for Apple products😊
Extremely great video? ❤ can you tell us that is it good for vfx or not
Thank you for doing the geekbench scores on the M3 pro! Haven’t seen any of these scores yet and picking up my M3 Pro 16in. Have a regular M1 chip 13inch MBP with touch bar now so excited to jump from M1 to M3 Pro.
I’m picking up 12CPU, 18GPU, 18RAM M3 Pro so I’m curious if my 18GPU will be better than the M2 Pro 16GPU - any thoughts? Thanks! Love your videos.
No problem, good choice on what you are picking!
What kind of storage did you take ?
@@sword_master-972the 12cpu/18gpu automatically comes with 1TB standard
@@sword_master-972 I stuck with 512gb. Couldn’t afford another 200$ for the 1TB and I have a bunch of external drives. Don’t travel too much with it, which is why I went for the 16inch, so will be home/local to use drives.
In your opinion, how well do you think the base M3 pro 14 inch MacBook Pro would perform for music production I have been trying to find answers everywhere and so far no one is talking about the M3 pro at all and just the base M3 or the max version.
8 gb of RAM will not be sufficient long term for music. Go for 16 minimum....or more if you can.
Thanks for your review:) I did never own a MacBook but I’m planning to get one when it’s coming out in Holland (9 November). The price for a m2 pro 16gig with 512gb is here 2300 euro and the m3 pro 18 ram with 512gb is 2550 euros. I can’t chose which one is better overal device. I want to use use it for trading, Final Cut Pro and surfing. Price doesn’t matter between the 2 of them, I just want the best. Which one u prefer then ? Please help me making a good choice
M3 pro. Take new product.
@@Luban34 but isn’t the m2 pro 14 inch faster then the new one ?
@@zamirahmad35 i think bit slower. We have to wait till tomorrow to real tests. I bought m2 pro 2 months ago and i wish to swap 🤣
@@Luban34 haha I did get the m2 pro 13 inch 26ram for 1900 euro but did returned it because I saw very bad reviews about the 13 inch one ..
@@zamirahmad35 i have m2 pro 14 inch. Its much better and new design
I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade from my mid 2020 iMac with the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT (GPU) to one of these. I want something portable and a little faster than the iMac for a big project that I'll be doing for the next 12 months or so. But is the iMac technically faster than the M2 Pro and M3 Pro? Are the M2 Max and M3 Max the only chips with enough GPU to compete with the desktop I already have? Seriously asking, I don't know how to figure this out.
It depends as I say on what apps you will use to utilise those new graphics features at 13:41 If you don't need that graphics, get M2 Pro instead!
@@MattTalkTech Makes sense. The projects I do are essentially online courses, which sometimes need motion graphics, green screen keying, etc. But 85% of the work is 4K video editing. So… 🤔
M2 Pro for you, look at the Exports of H.265 what is the most common format people who export at, apart from actual Hollywood/netflix movie makers. Also if you are recording on a sub $2000 digital camera or even your iPhone with point and record, again most likely you will be recording in an H.265 or H.264 format and M2 Pro and M3 Pro are neck and neck here with working with these formats as they both have the same video encoders and decorders@@jcsdarnell
I am planning to get the 16 inch version next month. Not sure if I will get the pro or max chip.
Max all day!
Awesome! It depends all your needs!
@@MattTalkTech I looked at apple's site and I think I will stick with the pro model as I am a web developer. Thanks!
looking for a major upgrade from Lenovo ideapad to this machine but one thing is backing me off and that is price difference in in India compare to other country i have to pay more like 200$ that is very unjustified.
Planning to buy the 16inch M3 Mac book Pro and Apple Watch Ultra 2 before December 2023 wanted to buy the iPhone 15 pro max but it is too expensive in India, costing more than 1900dollars
Do you think it’s better to buy the m1 than the m3 because developers are developing most of their applications with the m1 architecture in mind or would it not matter
It's the same architecture. Go for M3.
source: I'm a developer :)
@@eczajnik thanks man
I have a 2013 intel mbp. Do you think it's worth the upgrade?
ooo yes! it will be a BIG UPGRADE and change!
Hahaha @@MattTalkTech
They shouldn’t have released the two tier chip option with the 14”. Releasing the higher version by default would have been perfect.
Hey Matt, Im a Music Producer and Logic Pro X gets laggy on my Mac Mini so which one would you reccomend for me? I like the M3 but what do you think
I am in the second year of university studying computer science and engineering. I am going to start specialization in AI and Machine Learning from the third year. I am confused between a M3 Pro 14in MacBook Pro with (11C CPU and 12C GPU) OR with M2 Pro to purchase. Which one would you suggest? Thanks!
M3 pro
i just got my Macbook pro m3 pro today! i love it so muchhhhh!
Awesome! What specs and color did you get?
i get the space black 14” 18 gb, 512 gb ssd…cant wait to try to edit video on it.. i am still learning how to use it.. first time macbook user
@@mamache2028hey how has ur laptop been? I'm getting the same, I'm a computer science student & need it for projects, how is it going w editing is 512gb enough?
@@Cash27000 i return my 512GB and get 1T cuz it was not enough for me.. If you are more into video editing them you may considering 1T.
Firs review IN THE WORLD of MB PRO M3 PRO . TY !!
Is it??? Glad you liked it then
The Question is, what model is needed for adobe premiere 4k video edit and export? Thank you.
With 512gb of hard drive are you not extremely limited on the programs you can have installed? Q: Did you do the other vid yet about apps and stuff like you said? Been a month now.
wonder what the difference will be between this one and my 2019 16" i9 machine... going to be fun to check when it arrives in a week or so...
I had the exact same situation. I got it yesterday and it is crazy faster. Pro-motion kicks really well on the screen, the overall performance is better at doing absolutely anything. Oh and it open instantly, even on external displays. That is nuts.
@@ErikCampobadal going to be fun to see. mine arrives today :)
Great Video
Glad you liked it
I’m interested in the m3 pro pricing and in more depth would be greatly appreciated. I have a 2012 MPB WITH 16 GIG OF RAM AND 1T SSD. IS IT TIME TO UPGRADE IHAVE BEEN WAITING TO ORDER.
I'll stick with my M1 MacBook Air, though it struggles a lot with my audio projekts. Apples marketing strategy to cut back from M2 to M3 to force you to buy the most expensive model annoys me.
Waiting for M3 Max review 🎉
just bought pro m2 pro 2 months ago... can't return now :(
It is still great, look at the benchmarks!
Why should you?
@@maxm4852 just feel bit disappointed two macbooks in one year. I thought first there will be m3 air heh.
To replace a 27 core i5 iMac with 64 ram, which Mac do you recommend for a very good upgrade in terms of power and everything? Without going to the most expensive
If you want a desktop, the the iMac m3 is the way the way to go. Cheaper CPU version comes with only 2 thunderbolt ports. If your fine with a laptop, m2 pro macbook pro 14 inch is good enough. If you use it for Photoshop or video editing, the m3 macbook pro 14 is the way to go.
Thank you very much for your answer I don't like the imac very much, could it be a mac mini or mac studio or not?@@freedomlovingamerican
M3 pro max in black; most definitely.
