    Really good and what you would expect from a Macbook. Processing is fast and pretty good for graphic design tasks. Adobe software works flawlessly.

    Best Buy is the worst company EVER. Horrible customer service, mediocre prices, and they clearly do not care about customers. I will never, ever buy from Best Buy again.

    MacBook Pro 14-inch with M3

    As someone who relies heavily on a laptop for both creative and professional work, the MacBook Pro 14-inch with the M3 chip has been an absolute game-changer. From its sleek design to its unmatched performance, this machine exceeds all my expectations and justifies its premium price tag. The first thing that caught my eye was the Space Gray finish—it’s modern, elegant, and has that signature Apple premium feel. The unibody aluminum design is both durable and lightweight, making it easy to carry around whether I’m working from home or on the go. The 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display is stunning. The colors are incredibly vibrant, and the blacks are deep and rich, which makes editing photos and videos a joy. The ProMotion technology with up to 120Hz refresh rate makes everything from scrolling to video playback buttery smooth. Whether I’m working on creative projects or simply watching a movie, the display delivers an exceptional visual experience. Performance: M3 Chip The M3 chip is the highlight of this MacBook Pro. With an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, it handles everything I throw at it with ease. I’ve used it for 4K video editing, rendering complex 3D graphics, and running multiple demanding apps simultaneously—there hasn’t been a single hiccup. The performance feels seamless, and the laptop remains cool and quiet even under heavy workloads. The 16GB of unified memory is more than enough for my multitasking needs, and the 1TB SSD not only provides ample storage but also ensures lightning-fast read and write speeds. Boot times are nearly instant, and large files load in seconds. Battery life is another area where this laptop shines. I can work for hours without worrying about plugging in. Apple claims up to 18 hours of battery life, and while I haven’t timed it exactly, it easily lasts me through a full day of heavy use. Apple hasn’t skimped on ports, which is a huge plus. The three Thunderbolt 4 ports, MagSafe 3 charger, HDMI, and a 3.5mm headphone jack cover all my connectivity needs. I also appreciate the inclusion of Wi-Fi 6E, which gives me faster and more reliable internet connections. The audio quality is phenomenal. The six-speaker system delivers rich, immersive sound, and the 1080p FaceTime camera ensures I look sharp during virtual meetings—a feature I’ve come to rely on. It’s not a cheap investment, but for someone like me who needs top-tier performance in a portable package, it’s worth every penny. If you’re looking for a powerful, reliable, and beautifully designed laptop, this MacBook Pro is as good as it gets.

    No laptops come close to matching the build quality and feel of a MacBook. The M3 pro is fast enough to get things done and buttery smooth with the interface. The battery lasts twice as long as a windows device and it is a great way to consume media or be productive.

    I needed a new computer for school since my last computer was outdated. I wanted to make the switch between Windows to Apple but was skeptical. However After using my MacBook for a couple of weeks now I can finally say that making the switch was the right call.The battery life, speed, and display of my MacBook is better than any other laptop I've ever had. The performance of this laptop is phenomenal and truly makes a different in the quality of my work.

    Sure, here’s a review draft: --- I recently purchased the Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch with the new M3 chip, and it’s incredible! The performance is super smooth, whether I’m multitasking or working on intensive projects like video editing. The 16GB of memory and 1TB SSD make everything fast and responsive, plus I have plenty of storage for my files. The Space Gray design is sleek and professional. It’s a fantastic laptop for anyone needing top-notch speed and power! Highly recommend!

    This MacBook Pro is yet again a fantastic product... it is my third MacBook Pro in 17 years. Does everything quietly and rapidly with a battery that lasts more than a long working day. Brilliant display and fantastic sound system. The MagSafe charging port is back and it has sufficient connectivity. Best Buy offered this at a great price, $500 cheaper than the Apple store.

    Extremely pleased w/ MacBook purchase experience

    Very, very pleased w/ the experience purchasing my MacBook Pro M3 14" through BestBuy (BB), really glad I didn't go through Apple, Amazon, etc. I'd been looking at prices for new, used & refurbs direct from Apple & other retainers for about a week before stumbling upon a sale w/ BestBuy. At the time of purchase, BB's sale price for this new MacBook was actually LESS than a refurb direct from Apple (and I think BB's was better specced w/ RAM or SSD). So the best deal I found for a new device, & BB offered 90 days free of iCloud (50GB), Apple Music, & Apple TV+. I was already happy, but the cherry on top-it was overnight shipped. I ordered this online at night, had it in my hands in LESS than 24 hrs. BB's order confirmation said an estimated 2 days for shipping, but nope...I had it like 18-ish hrs! (YMMV, maybe I'm not too far from the shipping warehouse, was shipped from NJ to the DC Metro area). So yeah, this was my 1st BB online purchase, & I'm pretty sure it won't be my last, & I'd definitely recommend looking here 1st before trying to go direct through Apple. PS- I thought I was encountering an error w/ BB's iCloud trial link. Turns out it was me-user error (LOL), not BB's fault-but an online chat support rep was extremely quick to respond/assist.I think I was speaking to someone within a single minute of string the chat, & things were sorted just as fast. This was just as surprising as the crazy fast shipping.

    It's a great laptop and I am grateful to have the 1 TB memory now, also a great display and the fact that this also ended up being a great deal through best buy. My only complaint is with the iOS software itself, the iphone backup button still barely works which is quite frustrating (will fail a lot despite significant progress) - this resulted in a backup file that was taking 200GB of storage but actually wasn't the full backup and inaccessible by the phone to recover. Besides that it's a 10

    Blew my expectations out of the water. I expected a decent laptop, what I got was a powerhouse. This is my first Apple MacBook. Coming from a long line of Windows and Linux laptops, I have to say this is the best by far for the price. I like the active cooling, the crisp and bright display, quality construction I’ve only dreamed of, and integrates well with my iPhone and Apple Watch. It takes some tinkering to get the settings just right, but once you’re there it’s the laptop experience I’ve always wanted and never quite got. A balance between ease of use and extreme customization that rivals Linux (as a developer). The battery life is terrific, perfect for those long meetings and once you master the hotkeys you’ll be soaring through productivity on the job. Thanks Apple!

    I’ve been to many Best Buy stores over the years and the Norman, OK store is by far the best when it comes to nice, friendly, and helpful staff. Always pleased! I’ve even been told by staff that has worked at other Best Buy stores that they like Norman better. Management and/or supervisors must be great people to work for. It’s obvious the staff is happy! I am not exaggerating! In addition this machine is so fast, and easy to set up. 500 times faster than my current Dell that I hate using.
