The M3 Pro 14in MacBook Pro was going to replace my M1 Pro MacBook Pro. But after receiving it, and using it. I think I've had a change of heart, and my opinions on it have drastically shifted, even after just 24 hours of owning it. Here are my thoughts.

If you trade in your M1 Pro you'll get over 1k trade in value, I did that option as I got my M1 Pro for under 2k and it took the M3 Max cost down to what the M3 pro would have been. In all If the M1 is still good for you then keep it, in my case I really needed more power/ ram for data science plus my battery on the M1 Pro was around 65% capacity and I was always using swap memory. My M1 Pro is still a very capable machine. I probably wouldn't have upgraded if my case was many different

Id actually suggest getting a desktop as a work station with a dedicated graphics card like 3080 or higher with high Vram and a I7/I9 processor with 64gb ram minimum and like 4tb or more nvme for any language learning locally especially if you are downloading/ using large data sets and use the Mac as a portable device to show case snd work on the go.

Apple gave me a price protection refund because the M2pro was $400 more expensive NEW than the M3pro with the same upgrades. Edit: I do photo editing, a little video, and possibly in the future more heavy graphics type stuff.. but as of now, i don't necessarily need the new tech like ray tracing... etc..

The trick to avoid being upsold with apple is clearly identifying your use case. Make points on what is important for that use case to achieve its goals. Sort these points into roughly same sized groups by "doesn't work without", "nice to have", "no impact" (be honest with you, less is sometimes more). Get the model which checks all "doesn't work without"-boxes. With "nice to have" you get a little bit of wiggle room. Hints: don't look at the specs befor sorting your points into groups, add a price to "doesn't work without" and "nice to have", put the color into "no impact" and get at least 16gb ram whatever the use case. 9/10 times you will be surprised on what to get. Have fun trying :)

pre release was eyeing M3 Pro as I want to have media power user capabilities (video/photo) and want option of 2nd external monitor, but unlikely to do much gaming or intense developer stuff. the M3 Pro ~2kish price range is about right for me and I would be coming back to Mac from using Intel for 2 generations of laptops. I like to optimize and usually tend to lean towards futureproofing my purchase decisions so in the past with what I'm seeing in this review and others about the M3 Pro being underwhelming part of the current lineup, I am one of those being lured/drawn/suckered into unnecessarily going for m3 Max. But I am being much more cautious than before as my computer/laptop usage is just so much lower than it was in the past, with so much now being doable on ipad/phone. Are there any suggestions if I am looking to come back for Apple silicon but kinda want the pro format (sd card and more monitors) - should i be waiting for MB Air or maybe buying an old M2 Pro which seems to be the sweet spot/something I should have done earlier this year?

What about upgrading from a base model M1 to an M3 Pro? Worth it?

Im in a debate with myself because I bought a 16” mac m3 pro with 36 gb ram and 512 storage but I could get the m3 max 14” with 1 terabyte for the same price basically. Should i switch to the max while I have the chance? Idk that I would even use the extra power though.

@JimmyTriesWorld 9 ай бұрын

About to release a video on a longer term review of this. I've used the Max and Pro at this point. If the Pro works for you right now keep the pro. The max is better, but I feel little difference in most of my own workflows.

Same here. There's nothing in these new machines worth upgrading. I have a M1 Pro 14 and a M1 Max 16 and they're still pristine and ultra fast for both my dev workflows (web and mobile)

@ZhuJo99 9 ай бұрын

You'll get 32 GB and 1 TB storage on Max, which is like 600 dollars value by itself. Go with M2 Max. You'll get better GPU too. I'm going same path, but here in Europe no refurbished - hopefully starting next year there will still be some new ones selling. Have enough tax write offs this year and next year will need them too. No way I'm going to pay government a dime

@rad1m 9 ай бұрын

I see a big jump for tasks which use AI. Like denoise in Lightroom is going from couple of minutes to tens of seconds however still lacking when compared to laptops with nVidia RTX graphics cards. You would need M3 MAX to get closer to the performance of nVidia. So upgrading from Intel Macbook is showing a jump in performance but lacks when compared to gaming laptops.

Look. If you push the laptop with intence project you will get better battery from the m3pro because it had bettter cooling in real life. But overall m3 is enough power. The 8gb will work good with only web. For me its not enough. Lets say pycharm + music + discord + tabs is yoo much for 8gb so m3pro is making more sense since the difference from the m3 upgraded to the m3pro is 200 dollar

@dolev7839 7 ай бұрын

And "way more battery life" is 3-4 hours diff when you light work. Lets say you browsing instead of 12 hours you get 15 with m3 but once you heavy work the 2 fans are better.

You are not missing out on much. I am going to buy a m2 pro tomorrow as well (unbinned). The performance is basically identical to m3 pro, even sometimes outperforming it. I have an amazing deal, which gives me a more powerful m2 pro with 1tb ssd, and it is still cheaper by 300 euros than the cheapest m3 pro. Prices in EU are on another level

@williamburkholder769 9 ай бұрын

Forget benchmarks that are probably not updated to run on M3. REAL WORLD application performance is much better on the M3 Pro, and already has been proven so here on KZfaq by several reviewers. TRUE, in a few tests, the M2 has the same or slightly faster performance, but overall, the M3 Pro has the edge. The more memory and storage you can put in it, the faster it will run, especially with lots of open apps and background processes. People upgrading from Intel or M1 or M1 Pro machines will see a difference. Personally, I don't see a point in an every year upgrade. Five years is more my speed... The marginal utility of a 15% to 40% speed increase is just that - marginal, and expensive. If you truly NEED the additional features and speed, fine, but if your software can handle your current workloads, then "meh".
