MacBook Pro M3 Preorders Are Live At Amazon Ahead Of Next Week's Launch
The new MacBook Pro lineup features the powerful M3 chip. All three models arrive on November 7, but preorders are now open.
Apple has officially pulled back the curtain on the next generation of MacBook Pro, all of which feature a chip from the new M3 lineup. As you'd expect, these aren't cheap products, with the entry-level model costing $1,600. However, this is $400 cheaper than the MacBook Pro with M2 Pro that released earlier this year. Naturally, the price can skyrocket depending on your configuration, as it's possible to get a sleek new MacBook Pro with 48GB RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a chipset with a 16-core CPU and 40-core GPU.
Preorders are now open for the MacBook Pro lineup at Amazon, Best Buy, and Apple, and Amazon, with a release date set for November 7. If you prefer desktop PCs, the new M3 chip will be available in the new iMac that starts at $1,300 and releases the same day. Like all Apple products, these are bound to be popular, especially with the holidays around the corner--so consider reserving your unit as soon as you can.
MacBook Pro with Apple M3 Chip
$1,600+
The MacBook Pro with the standard M3 chipset is the new entry-level Pro. It can be modified to include a 1TB SSD, but the default 512GB SSD should be enough for most users. It features the brand-new M3 chip, offering an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU. Toss in 8GB RAM, a gorgeous 14.2-inch Liquid Retina Display, and up to 22 hours of battery life, and you've got an impressive laptop for the price.
You'll get plenty of ports to connect your accessories too, with HDMI, SDXC, MagSafe, Thunderbolt, USB 4, and headphone ports located along its edges. And, as always, the MacBook Pro looks incredible--and is available in either Space Gray or silver.
MacBook Pro with M3 Pro or M3 Max Chip
$2,000+
If you want to snag the M3 Pro or M3 Max chip, you'll need to drop a bit more cash. You can pair either of the higher-end chips with either a 14.2-inch display or a 16.2-inch display. Aside from customizing its chipset, you can also upgrade its SSD from 512GB to 1TB or upgrade its RAM to a maximum of 48GB, though prices can quickly climb upwards.
Unless you need to do some serious processing, most users will probably have more than enough power with the M3 Pro (though the M3 Max with its 40-core GPU is certainly enticing for power-hungry users). The M3 Pro offers a 12-core CPU and 18-core GPU, while the M3 Max offers a 14-core CPU and 30-core GPU on the 14.2-inch model and a 16-core CPU and 40-core GPU on the 16.2-inch model.
The M3 Pro and M3 Max models are available in silver and Space Black, which looks positively awesome.
iMac
$1,300+
Along with the new MacBook Pro lineup, Apple also revealed a new iMac. This features the M3 Chip and can be had with either a 10-core GPU or an 8-core GPU. Both feature a gorgeous 24-inch Retina Display, are available in a wide range of colors, and include a Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse. You can also bump its SSD from 256GB to 512GB when opting for the 10-core GPU model. If you don't mind its lack of portability, the new iMac looks like a great way to get everything offered by the powerful M3 Chip at the lowest possible price.
