I've been able to setup my development environment, run containers and VM's, work with lots of code editors and Chrome tabs open and it is working perfectly, I cannot recommend Macs enough but this particular spec is really awesome.

First time Mac owner, wow! is all I have to say. I've been a windows person since 1995! I come from using a Lenovo Legion gen 7. The change was kinda scary. I'm glad a made the switch! This is one of the best looking, well made, fine piece of machine I have laid hands on!

Initially this laptop wouldn't connect to my network, and I ended up having to repair it while tethered to my samsung note 20 as a hotspot. I've isolated the issue, and it's been great so far. Very responsive and quick to open tasks.

Every time I walk into Best Buy and buy a new Apple product the staff are so helpful and informative. They want what meets my needs best. No more and no less. They help me make informed decisions based on my personal experiences and needs. I live my new MacBook Pro and I love the payment plans and financing options that Best Buy offers!

I bought the brand new Mac Book pro and it is easily one of the best products I’ve purchased from Best Buy. The employees helped me so much making the right decision based on what I need and I’m truly grateful for the amazing customer service.

Not as fast in processing as i thought it would be. The black is a beautiful color on it. A good laptop to consider though. I use it to play my rekordbox music on it

Performance on Warp Speed: This laptop is a beast. The M3 Pro chip and 36GB of unified memory handle anything I throw at it, from video editing to 3D modeling, with nary a stutter. Multitasking feels effortless, and even the most demanding applications purr like kittens. Battery life is equally impressive, lasting a full workday (and sometimes longer) on a single charge.
Display to Die For: The Liquid Retina XDR display is simply stunning. Colors are vibrant, blacks are inky, and the 120Hz refresh rate makes everything buttery smooth. Whether you're working on creative projects or binging your favorite shows, this display is a joy to behold.
Keyboard Keys That Sing: The Magic Keyboard is, well, magical. The keys have a satisfyingly clicky feel, and the backlight makes late-night typing sessions a breeze. The addition of Touch ID is also a nice touch, adding an extra layer of security.
The Not-So-Stellar Side: Now, for the not-so-great aspects. This laptop, let's face it, ain't cheap. Even with the base configuration, you're looking at a hefty price tag. And while the ports are versatile (Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, etc.), some might miss the convenience of an SD card reader or a full-size USB-A port. Additionally, the bezels, while thinner than previous models, still feel a bit chunky compared to some competitors.
The Verdict: So, would I recommend this MacBook Pro? It depends. If you're a creative professional or someone who demands top-tier performance and a gorgeous display, then absolutely. But if you're on a tight budget or don't need the raw power this machine offers, other options might be more suitable. Ultimately, the decision comes down to your individual needs and priorities.

Best Buy sent me a 16" macbook pro m3 that's over 2 thousand dollars inside a 5 dollar padded envelope. No box or any protection whatsoever. That's completely unacceptable and unprofessional for a store that sells electronics. Buy at your own risk.
