    Never needed to retire any of my 4 MacBook Pros

    This is my fourth MacBook Pro and I have used the heck out of all of them. In fact I still use all of them going back decades. They work fine, the only limitation is that the OS cannot be updated enough to be used with modern programs. In fact I have one I have kept in Snow Leopard to be able to use Final Cut Pro7 with the wonderful options it had. Solid machines all. Batteries wear out eventually, but the bones are great. This new one is by far the best - faster than a speeding bullet. I've been importing video files and I am amazed at how quickly they are transferred. I have not started crunching the compression of new videos yet, but I have no doubt that this machine will be faster than anything else. I had been wanting to move up to a new MBP for some time but I resented needing dongles for everything - finally we are back to a set of the most useful connecters built in. I find the fingerprint ID very useful. Safari is solid and glitch-free so far. More than anything, the battery life is making my life easier. I have not had it long, but everything I have experienced so far is beyond my expectations. I plan to work with this daily for a very long time.

    Absolutely love my new MacBook! I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but what I always appreciate about Apple products is that they just work right out of the box with minimal setup and little fuss. With just a few clicks the transfer assistant had my data from my old MacBook migrated over with ease. This was a big upgrade for me since I was coming from a late 2019 Intel MacBook Pro with only 8GB of RAM. I tend to use a lot of tabs in Safari and Chrome, while simultaneously working in multiple real-time trading apps. While my previous laptop would begrudgingly (slowly) support that workflow, it was increasingly obvious that 8GB of RAM wasn't sufficient for my needs. So after much thought and research I opted for the base M3 Pro chip over the upgraded chip M3 Pro and went with a model with 18 GB of RAM instead, and I couldn't be happier! I look forward to really unlocking the performance of this new M3 Pro MacBook Pro as time goes on. And the space black color is gorgeous!

    You definitely have to cough up some money but this has been the best purchase I’ve ever made. The integration of the MacBook and my iPhone 14 is absolutely seamless. The information or pics I take on my phone is instantly transferred to my Mac and I am able to access my files from the Mac too and my productivity has sky rocketed from this seamless interface. ALSO, the battery life on this thing is absolutely insane, it’s SO good. If I fully charge it one, this thing can pull through for me for three-four days

    I was hesitant to pick this up after already using a MacBook Air for the last year or so, but this laptop is a game changer. If you do graphic design or video editing, you couldn’t make a better portable choice. The screen is great, the sound is great, the color is perfect, and the rendering speed for video is incredible. HIGHLY recommend this one!

    I haven't had a new computer for almost 8 years.. so it was time. I went with the 14" MacBook Pro with M3 pro chip, 18GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD in the Space Black. I went back and forth between the 14" and 16". I went with the 14" because of the weight and size. being able to pick it up and use it on the go or lay on the couch and use it in your lap makes the overall experience more comfortable. The new M3 processors and the option to have 18GB of RAM with 1TB of storage make this machine future proof. Everything from the unboxing to setting up hot keys and features. These Apple products are a ton of fun to make your own. It is a bit of investment but you get what you pay for and this is worth it for so many reasons! I can go on and on... GET ONE.

    MacBook Pro: Unleashing Creativity

    Just got the new MacBook Pro 14" from Best Buy - it's got the M3 Pro chip, 18-core GPU, 18GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD. It's in Space Black, looks super sleek. Honestly, it's fantastic for work and a beast for photo and video editing. Performance is lightning fast - multitasking is a breeze, and apps just fly. The graphics are killer, especially for editing; everything looks crisp and vibrant. Plus, with 1TB of storage, I've got tons of space for all my projects, and the SSD speed is a real time-saver. It's surprisingly portable for such a powerhouse, and the battery life is solid - gets me through a full day's work, no problem. The display is top-notch, really makes my photos and videos pop. And typing on this thing? Super comfy, and the trackpad is really responsive. In short, it's a bit of an investment, but totally worth it for the performance and features. Perfect for anyone in creative work or who just wants a really powerful laptop.

    A game changer for anyone looking to upgrade from an older machine. Even more revolutionary for creatives. Music production, video editing, coding, and 3d rendering are a cakewalk for this beast. Also, can’t beat the space black look.

    After M1 Pro, a surprising upgrade

    First, thanks to Best Buy for a great price match during the holidays! This is my first 14 inch MBP after using the 16 inch M1 Pro the last few years. LOVE the space black, but wasn't sure M3 Pro would be an "upgrade"--but THIS 1tb model with the "top" unbinned M3 Pro chip is. It has 1 more performance core and 4 more GPU cores than the base 512 gb M3 Pro. This model is a great value when it's on sale with the better performance and more storage. Compared to M1 Pro, websites and apps launch substantially faster and my logic pro projects run smoother with less clicks & pops. Not that M1 Pro was bad at all, but M3 Pro is just--better. Really needed a smaller form factor and appreciate the portability and power of this machine. Battery life is good, and low power mode can extend it without creating much lag. Downsides of course are the adjustment to a 14 inch screen. While I'm impressed with what the 14 inch screen can fit (better than a 13 inch Air), it's still a bit cramped after being used to the 16 inch (naturally). Overall, I would recommend this specific model when it's on sale. Don't pay the apple upgrade costs and be patient when you can snag this on sale -- it's the sweet spot for value/portability.

    way to over powered for what I need but I plan on using it for several years to come and don't have any doubt it will perform beyond expectations for the life of the machine with annual updates from  for at least 5-6 years min. Every task I throw at it is lightening fast and haven't ran into a single instance of having wait for it to catch up, even with light photo editing and video work in Final Cut.

    I am a long-time Mac user. I use my Mac for all my web design and development work. My old 2017 MacBookPro got outdated and stopped receiving software updates. This is the best choice that I have made. I have even thought of switching to windows. But glad I did not make that. Top-notch performance and great build.

    This computer is an absolute powerhouse. It renders like a dream. We are able to make edits sooo much faster with this machine. It truly is far better than the “powerhouse laptops" we've used in the past. The Apple M3 Pro MacBook outperforms them all with its superior processing speed and efficiency. The rendering capabilities are simply outstanding, making our editing tasks significantly quicker and smoother. This machine is a game-changer, setting a new standard for what a "powerhouse" should be.
