While the form factor remains familiar, these new MacBook Pros are powered by Apple’s own custom-designed M3 chip. This marks the third generation of Apple’s M-series processors, building upon the impressive success of its predecessors.

The M3 combines a high-performance CPU, a powerful GPU, and advanced hardware capabilities like ray tracing and mesh shading, providing a significant performance boost, even over the recent M2s. The transition to in-house chips has ensured seamless integration with MacOS, offering a superior user experience and unparalleled efficiency with up to 22 hours of battery life.

The performance boost of the M3 line promises to deliver the best experience for professionals across the board. Whether coding, 3D Modeling, editing images, producing videos or gaming, the MBPs with M3 leave pro users wanting nothing in terms of speed and power.

Both models feature liquid retina XDR displays that are bright, crisp and vivid. The extra power of the M3 chips also means these laptops can simultaneously utilize two external displays for enormous workflows should they be required.

The base models are plenty powerful on their own, whether opting for M3, M3 Pro or the jaw-dropping M3 Max which will debut later than the others. These MBPs can also be spec’d up to include up to 128 GB of unified memory, an astounding amount for a portable machine and a genuine consideration for those who want to make their investment as future-proof as possible. 

Finally, and perhaps most appropriate given the night of the announcement, the MBPs featuring M3 chips will finally be available in a cool new Space Black finish option, in a way solidifying them as pro machines. A new anodization process for the finish will help prevent those annoying fingerprint marks that sometimes mar Apple laptop screens.
