Customer Ratings & Reviews

The M3 chip's remarkable performance ensures swift and smooth operations across various tasks. The 18 GB memory capacity has proven invaluable for multitasking, allowing me to handle demanding applications without a hitch. The sleek design and stunning Retina display make working and entertainment a pleasure. The attention to detail in both form and function truly sets the MacBook apart. I've received many compliments on its aesthetic appeal. I also appreciate Best Buy's commitment to customer satisfaction. The purchase process, from selection to checkout, was efficient, and the after-sales service has been exceptional.

As a devout Apple customer, the MacBookPro was the obvious choice for an upgrade from my MacBook Air laptop. I looked at all choices between purchasing directly from Apple utilizing my Apple Goldman Sachs account with no interest. The MacBook Pro basic M4 series was comparable in price but lacked the added RAM and M3 Pro chip that was available from BestBuy. With the equivalent ”No Interest” option with monthly installments via myBestBuy VISA account it was clearly the choice to go with BestBuy. My only concern was that it would T be brand new but refurbished which wasn’t an option I was interested in. The MacBook was indeed a factory sealed, brand new unopened product. The battery life is surprisingly long between charges for the amount of speed a d power the laptop performs at compared to my MacBook Air. The screen is remarkable and colors and resolution is worth the money spent, I believe this laptop will carry me into the next decade.

I’ve been using the MacBook Pro 14” with the M3 Pro chip, and it’s amazing. The Space Black design looks really cool, and it’s super fast. With 18GB of memory and a powerful GPU, everything runs smoothly, even when I’m doing a lot at once. The 512GB SSD gives me plenty of storage and quick access to my files. The battery lasts all day, which is great. Overall, it’s a fantastic laptop that I totally recommend!

Super fast, very solid for everything I need it for. I mainly do picture and video editing and work remote so I do use VDI on it. This was my upgrade from my 2015 MacBook Pro, and it is a very worthy update speed and performance wise. The battery life is fantastic on this and it is lighter to take on travel.

I recently bought a MacBook from Best Buy, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my purchase. The MacBook's sleek, lightweight design makes it incredibly portable and stylish. The Retina display is stunning, with vibrant colors and sharp details that make everything look fantastic, whether I'm working or streaming videos. Performance-wise, this MacBook is a powerhouse. The latest M-series chip handles multitasking and demanding applications effortlessly. I can have multiple apps open without any slowdown, and the battery life is outstanding, easily lasting me through a full day of work and entertainment. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the large trackpad is super responsive, making navigation a breeze. I also appreciate how seamlessly macOS integrates with my other Apple devices, making file sharing and connectivity a smooth experience. My shopping experience at Best Buy was excellent. The staff were knowledgeable and helped me find the right model for my needs. The entire process was quick and hassle-free, and I felt confident in my purchase. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my new MacBook. It's a bit of an investment, but the performance, quality, and user experience make it well worth the price. I highly recommend the MacBook and Best Buy for anyone in the market for a new laptop.

This is my second MacBook Pro, replacing one purchased over eight years ago. It's been incredible thus far. Running VM for windows and having all my MacOS stuff running at the same time has been great. The screen is amazing, the battery life exceeds expectations. A fantastic machine all around. The Space Black color is really nice, a little more prone to fingerprints/oils, but nothing too distracting. Highly recommended.

This Laptop Is a PowerHouse in All Aspects. Great Battery Backup, great speed, lightweight and super performance. Perfect Value For Money

Customers like the long battery life, easy setup, and use of the notebook computer. They mention it effortlessly handles multitasking and demanding applications. Customers also appreciate the great quality, lightweight design, and portability. They also like the clearer screen, large storage capacity, and beautiful display.

Amazing laptop, the M3 Pro chip even at its base model is stupid fast. It runs everything I throw at it, including some games on a Windows VM. Battery life isn’t a concern either, I can go for about 2 days with moderate usage, and 3 if used lightly, even with this beautiful display. Speaking of the display, it really is beautiful. 14 inches is perfect for me, and the brightness is overkill. HDR content on it is amazing and ProMotion is something I’ve never seen on any other laptop, at least in some form. The keyboard is an A+, that’s all I need to say. Same goes for the trackpad, Apple has had some of the best trackpads in the game for a while now and it shows. Sure it’s expensive, and not really that different from the last 2 models, but this laptop in my opinion isn’t meant as an upgrade for someone with a M1 Pro chip or above. It’s meant for people who have either an older Intel-based Mac, or for someone who uses Windows and this is their first Mac. MacOS is easy enough to learn and once you’re used to it, it’s not difficult to navigate. Overall this is a (almost) do it all laptop and I would recommend it

This new MacBook Pro represents my return to the Mac operating system after an absence of about six years, after I traded my only previous MacBook model, a late 2015 13 inch Pro, back in 2017. That model was a decent, not great laptop, but this new 14 inch model is a monumental leap in quality from the Intel chip models. It easily surpasses the Windows laptops I have been using since 2017. The image quality of the Pro's screen is wonderful, the sound from the speakers is great, and the overall speed of the new M3 Pro MacBook Pro is superb. It easily handles every task. I have yet to find any flaws in the design or operation of this device. The new Space Black color is very good at hiding fingerprints, which I was initially almost afraid to get, but I am glad I did. I highly recommend this laptop.

The sleek design and robust build quality make it a standout choice for professionals and creatives. Overall, a five-star device that combines cutting-edge technology with premium craftsmanship.

It’s a thing of beauty, but from what Ive heard and read its been somewhat neutered by Apple intentionally to “force” people to upgrade to the Max version. Idk, it’s a significant upgrade for me from my 8gb ram M1 Pro. The XDR (Apple’s proprietary HDR) implementation is a sight to behold. Apple released their liquid motion 120hz display last gen in M2 Macbooks, which I very much wished they had done for M1 Macs, so it’s lovely having that now. That alone makes it feel far faster/better. Apple’s push into pc gaming is great to see, and this ran the whole excellent game of the year Baldurs Gate 3 really well, however oddly when I logged into the Elder Scrolls Online I was quite disappointed in the performance. My ROG Ally at nearly 1/4 the price plays it better, although not as well as the M3 plays BG3. I love streaming games locally from my desktop pc rig to my ROG Ally which does a great job de/encoding and handling the wifi, so I tried it using Moonlight on the M3 and unfortunately I was disappointed again - the input latency is worse and it has a tendency to lose frames somehow. Its not terrible and its better than the M1 imo, but again outclassed by the ROG Ally at 1/4 the price. Alright - all of that said - the main reason I am even using a Mac instead of a Windows PC is to produce and play music on the Apple OS. The Apple workflow, environment, the stability, the efficiency while on battery - and the clean, efficient file/folder structure makes Apple computers stay fresh and new feeling. It appears to be the exact opposite in Windows computers which makes me want to (and actually do) reformat and reinstall Windows OS fresh at least every 6-12 months because of how cluttered and inefficient the OS and file structure is! Windows is a HOARDER, and I cant be inspired or as creative in that environment. I guess Im a neat freak. So be it. It sucks, because I am such a life long gamer and it would have been really really nice to have the power of that 13th gen i9 Intel + RTX 4080 combo I saw for $600 off on sale at $1999 (I think it was an alienware?), everything about it seemed perfect for me including a sweet AMOLED screen. So if you’re in a position where you prioritize work/music/creativity/graphic design over gaming - I say go with Apple. The M3 Pro can still do some moderate gaming, but not nearly as well as a Windows machine. If you’re in it mostly for playing video games and work/business/music is not much of a consideration - then the choice is easy friends.

I’m really happy with my MacBook Pro 14" with the M3 Pro chip—it’s honestly the best buy I’ve made at this price. The specs are amazing, especially the 18GB memory and 14-core GPU, which make it super fast and reliable. I’ve been using it mainly for work, and it’s been perfect. Training machine learning models is quick and smooth, which saves me so much time. Everything runs effortlessly, and the performance stays consistent no matter what I’m working on. On top of that, the design is sleek, and the display is stunning. It’s been a great experience overall, and I’d recommend it to anyone who needs a powerful and efficient laptop for both work and personal use.

Got it during Black Friday Sale. Its been couple of weeks but the color still mesmerizes me. The Ram is suficient and processor takes whatever i threw at it. I experienced Shared memory usage during high intensity apps but yet to hear the fan noise ,Tells you how refined it is. I have used it for heavy games, Programming and Entertainment. A 10/10 experience as always with best buy.

I got this as a late birthday gift for myself and let me just say as someone coming from being a Windows user for 10+ years the switch feels so good. I’m still getting used to being on Mac but everything about it is just amazing. The M3 Pro with 18GB of ram is very very great for gaming like Roblox and Sims and honestly this MacBook Pro is just like if Apple made a gaming laptop. You dont even need the Max chip!! And honestly I’ve had such a fun time getting to know macOS. Best laptop ever! And it rarely ever gets warm or hot!

Amazing laptop! Coming from a 2017 MacBook Air 13.3 inch, this is worlds apart! the display is immaculate and the laptop, although a little chunky (its a pro, not an air), is very lightweight. If weight is a huge factor, get the air as it is lighter and more portable in that sense. The MacBook is super fast and the pro chip is a step above the M3 and the rest of the competition. I personally would never want to purchase a Microsoft computer after my MacBook due to built in virus protection, more sleeker designs, better trackpad, and much more. The MacBook Pro 14 appeals to many including college students, professional editors/coders, and even the average Joe doing their tax returns. Programs are lightning fast the boot-up time is insanely fast. Can't say enough good about this laptop. 100 percent recommend, although a bit pricy, is worth it completely!

The MacBook Pro 14 is amazing—fast, powerful, and lightweight. The screen is beautiful, battery lasts all day, and it’s perfect for work or creative projects. Totally worth it!

bought nov. 30 and just opened it Feb10. not impressed. doesn't have the Touch Bar like my old MacBook Pro. considering taking back if best buy will allow it. Going to go ahead and give it 5 stars on battery life, speed, and display
