Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 MacBook Pro M3 Pro impresses with its powerful performance, thanks to the M3 Pro chip. The stunning Retina XDR display, improved keyboard, and enhanced battery life contribute to a top-tier user experience. 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.

The new MacBook Pro M3 Pro from Apple is a game-changer in the world of laptops. Its sleek design and stunning Retina display are immediately impressive, delivering vibrant colors and sharp details. The performance is outstanding, thanks to the M3 Pro chip, which handles demanding tasks and multitasking with ease. Battery life is phenomenal, allowing me to work all day without worrying about recharging. The keyboard is comfortable and responsive, making typing a joy, and the trackpad is precise and smooth. The sound quality is top-notch, with immersive audio that enhances music, movies, and video calls. Connectivity options are plentiful, with multiple Thunderbolt ports and an SD card slot, making it incredibly versatile for various needs. The seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem is a significant advantage, allowing effortless syncing with my other Apple devices. Overall, the MacBook Pro M3 Pro is a powerhouse of performance, design, and functionality. It’s perfect for professionals and creatives who need reliability and efficiency in a sleek, portable package. Highly recommended!

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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

This is the best iteration of the MacBook Pro 14". It has had excellent pricing promotions, especially if you are a Best Buy Member, down to $1750. The newer chips in low power mode are excellent. Giving you more battery off the charger than ever, feeling like it rivals the original M1 16". As far as use case, I do IT work and play RTS games in parallels. The M2 Pro brought a good performance uplift and this pushes it further. While the M3 Pro is not a monumental jump, moving up the bar continuously matters, and you feel it in performance and battery life. I also think the M3 Pro matches the 14" thermals a bit better as the heatsink is so much smaller than the 16". 18GB of memory is also great. It is a little slower than the M2 Pro's however, with that kind of space, my Parallels VM can run at 8GB without causing the PC to start using swap memory (saving to the SSD). With all of that said, this is a 14" powerhouse with better battery life and much better pricing after its initial launch. It took a full year before the 14" M2 Pro hit $1599. I would spend the extra for this for battery life.

The MacBook Pro 14" with the M3 Pro chip is a winner through and through. Apple continues to impress with their M series chips. I upgraded from the already awesome MacBook Pro 14" with the M1 Pro chip. This laptop offers excellent speed, tremendous battery life, a fantastic mini-LED screen that comes very close to OLED, the best laptop sound system I've ever heard and a comfortable (evenly) backlit keyboard to round it all out. Port selection also remains abundant like its predecessor. It would have been nice to see Wi-Fi 7 and Face ID for login, but Wi-Fi 6E is certainly up to the task and Touch ID get the job done for quick and easy logins. The only negative I can come up with is the new Space Black color does tend to show fingerprints more, but it is a gorgeous color. I definitely recommend this laptop - buy one, you will not be disappointed!

This laptop is an absolute powerhouse - sleek design, super fast, and exceptional display quality. Love the M3 Pro chip it makes multi-tasking a breeze and the battery life is impressive, allowing me to work for hours without worrying about recharging. Overall, I couldn’t be happier!

The Apple MacBook Pro 14" with the M3 Pro chip is an absolute powerhouse that exceeds all expectations. Its battery life is unparalleled, providing hours of uninterrupted usage, making it an ideal companion for long work sessions or entertainment on the go. The performance is simply unbeatable, thanks to the impressive 14-core GPU and 18GB of memory, ensuring smooth multitasking and seamless operation. The display is stunning, offering vibrant colors and crisp details that elevate the visual experience. What sets this MacBook apart is its remarkable silence; even when running resource-intensive LLM models, there's no audible fan noise. Additionally, the device stays remarkably cool, a testament to its efficient design. Running six different Linux and Ubuntu Virtual Machines simultaneously is a breeze, showcasing the laptop's robust capabilities. As someone who upgraded from a 2019 MacBook Pro 16, I can confidently say that choosing the MacBook Pro 14" is my best decision and the ultimate MacBook purchase.

Awesome piece of kit! Works great for everything I try to use it for. Screen is awesome! Works well with third party stuff too. I have a Corsair mouse and Asus monitor and it all works seamless. External SSD is a must as well! I have baldurs gate 3 and resident evil 4 remake and both run awesome at high settings! No thermal throttling. And the portability is awesome. Light and still well build! Battery life is crazy too! Goes all day!

The M3 Pro chip is a powerhouse. With 18GB of memory and a 14-core GPU, it handles pretty much anything you throw at it. Whether you’re into heavy-duty tasks like video editing or just want smooth performance across multiple apps, this machine should keep things running smoothly. The 512GB SSD gives you decent storage, and while it’s not huge, it’s fast. You might need an external drive if you’re dealing with massive files, but for most users, it’s more than enough. And the silver finish? It looks sleek and professional, and it adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. If you’re after a high-performance laptop that’s also stylish and reliable, this MacBook Pro seems like a solid choice.

Light, sturdy build, great screen. Pretty much everything you would expect from a MacBook. It has plenty power for any application, in any day to day application it works seamless and the battery lasts forever. In more power intense applications or anything that might need rendering, you will be impressed by what that small laptop can achieve. This laptop is built to last and handle the increasing demand for processing, if you are an Apple user you know this, if you are trying to switch and are looking at this product don’t hesitate.

Mac Pro dominance. hands down a superior laptop in regards to performance, speed, and display clarity

As a longtime Apple enthusiast, the MacBook Pro 14" with the M3 Pro chip, 18GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD has exceeded my expectations.

The Retina display is stunning, offering vibrant colors and crisp detail that makes a noticeable difference in my graphic design work.

I was able to buy this M3 Pro MacBook Pro in Space Black Day 1. It is my first MacBook ever. I had bought a Gaming Laptop weeks before. It was not a good experience and returned it and Pre-Ordered this. I instantly new how Amazing this was. I have every console and a PC with a I7 13700K/RTX 4080 OC and ROG ALLY. So, I did not need a Gaming Device. That said, this has Surpassed my Expectations in everyway. The Display is Phenomenal and I have 2 OLEDs C Series. The Battery is Leagues in its own and the Performance Amazing. I am Glad I took the Plunge. Not to mention it works wonders with my 12.9 M1 iPad Pro Silver, iPhone 14 Pro Max Purple, iWatch Ultra Gen 1, Airpods Pro Gen 2 and my Apple TV 4K 128GB (2021). Not to mention it is also Amazing in transferring information with my PC and Printer without any Difficulties. I will most likely continue with going MacBook Pros in the Future. That is how big of a Positive Impact it Gave me.
