Previously, the 14-inch model was only available with expensive Pro or Max chips. There are also higher class configurations. M3 Pro And M3 MaximumAvailable in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes respectively.

The first thing that attracts attention in new laptops is the processors. The company does not say what technology it is made of, but this is most likely 3 nanometersas well as chips for smartphones. Apple promises significant performance improvements over previous versions, including 60 percent faster Final Cut Pro rendering. The company shares only selected statistics, so there is no particular point in talking about them until the computers go on sale and independent experts conduct tests. But it is clear that new processors should be better. In particular, they offer functions such as dynamic caching and ray tracingTo deliver the biggest leap in graphics performance. Apple claims the M3 Pro is 20% faster than the previous generation M2. Meanwhile M3 Max runs twice as fast as M2 Max.

• M3 Max received a 16-core processor and up to 40-core graphics processor. Apple’s newest silicon chip makes it 80 percent faster than the M1 Max chip from two years ago. With the M3 Max, the MacBook Pro can now support up to 128 gigabytes of RAM.
• Battery life is up to 22 hours. Apple claims that the laptops provide the same performance both when connected to the network and when running on battery.

Visually, the body and exterior design of all three laptops are no different; They all have a cutout for the camera and sensors, as well as the same port arrangement that’s consistent with previous models. They still have a bright, high-contrast Mini LED display, a great speaker system, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, an SD card reader, and a MagSafe charging port. The displays can now reach 600 nits of brightness for SDR content, which is 20 percent brighter than before.

The focus here is on the specification increase from M2 to M3. But the built-in Liquid Retina XDR display has gained additional brightness. Apple offered new space black color already praised by future buyers. The manufacturer says the new black body should stain less, thanks to “groundbreaking chemical technology that creates an anodized coating that significantly reduces fingerprints.” But it is still unclear how it will behave with scratches and scuffs. Space Gray will no longer be produced.

The new M3 and M3 Pro-based MacBook Pros can be pre-ordered today and will begin shipping on November 7. Laptops on the M3 Max will be available in late November.
