This is the fastest computer I’ve ever used and a good deal if on sale. If not on sale, it is too close to the price of the base M3 max (on purpose) that it’s not a good value. 512gb is too small of storage at full price.
The 36 GB of RAM makes a huge difference – – more than I thought was possible. Everything loads up just instantly. I really enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, Apple Support steered me wrong with thinking that there was an issue with the unit when it was actually a software problem. I figured out later that it was software not hardware, but already returned it thinking it was defective. Now that I know, I would definitely buy this again if it goes on sale. I would also not rush to return it based on only one try to fix an issue. Lesson learned.

so far I'm loving it! Coming from previously using intel pros, and iMacs. I finally pounced, on a m3 pro. Final cut is running smooth with other windows open during work flow. Wanted more storage than 512gb, but I will make it work. Find my self watching Apple TV and Youtube late at night with it, and just enjoying the display. I love my 5k 27" iMac, but this display rivals it well, and I am choosing to enjoy the m3 pro, over my LG C2 to consume content. Overall very impressed so far. Export time I'm content with. Liked the idea of beefing up with the 36gb of ram. I love my new Pro, and space black makes it all that much more cool, even if its not that black !!

This Computer Blows Away the Competition!
As a user coming from windows I have gotten used to 2 hour battery life and poor performance when unplugged. The M Chip is Revolutionary, a single charge lasts me 3 days of full power use and not having to worry about charging or losing performance is a game changer. I highly recommend this product to anyone professionals or people who truly want a luxurious product. The build quality is unmatched and the XDR Screen makes simple tasks look amazing.

Decided to finally upgrade to an Apple Silicone Mac and think I waited for the best one. 36GB should provide future proofing for a few years and this M3 Pro runs cool and forever on battery. Was undecided but on size but like the 16” for personal use where I am not typically at a desk and only traveling with intermittently. 14” would be my preference for a work and carry everyday size.

It is a quality machine. It does everything I want it to do.
I can go the day at work without plugging it in if needed and that includes recording a few hours of videos.
If I do anything that is more intense, I usually plug it in. Even then it really doesn't warm up that much.
The display is great. It usually sits at the low end of the brightness and it is still very bright. It is really sharp.
It might be overkill but if I need the extra ram, it will be there. Happy with the purchase.

While this may not have THE best specs of the M3 Pro and Max chipsets, I can attest that it can handle pretty much anything that you throw at it unless you require a lot of local storage. It has a fantastic display and decent connectivity (for a Mac). With amazing battery life and a RAM upgrade, this will definitely get you through an intense workload easily.
The Midnight Black model does attract finger prints though… other than that, you won’t regret purchasing.

This Macbook Pro is s complete upgrade for my 2016 Macbook Pro (which served me very well for the past 10 years). Processors are super fast and battery power lasts all day! So happy I made the jump and treated myself to this beast of a device! Here’s to another 10 years.

Everything about this laptop is phenomenal. It's fast, well-built, the screen is jaw-dropping, and the battery life... my goodness the battery life. It's nothing short of amazing.
I can't really say much that dozens of other reviewers haven't already said. It's a beast and I have no regrets. I personally really like the Space Black finish, but of course that's all down to personal preference. Overall an A+ from me and a very worthwhile upgrade from my 2017 machine.

Best computer I’ve ever owned, screen is amazing, speed, never had an issue in the past year I’ve had it. Zero crashes running big files in adobe creative suite unlike every pc I’ve ever been on

Moving from Windows to a Mac was a decision that took me about six months. I had just gotten the M3. After some research, I confirmed that the M3 Pro with 36GB of RAM was the right one for my type of work. In short, it's my everyday machine. It performs much better than my old 9th-gen i7. The battery is incredible. No regrets.

This great Apple MacBook is designed for high performance and efficiency. It performs well for work and other tasks, with quick charging capabilities and a beautiful display that is great to watch movies.

The MacBook Pro M3 is a fantastic addition to my tech arsenal. Its sleek design, coupled with the vibrant Retina display, makes every task a pleasure to tackle. The M3 chip delivers swift performance, ensuring seamless multitasking and smooth operation even with demanding applications.
I particularly appreciate the portability of the M3 model; it's lightweight enough to carry around effortlessly while still packing enough power to handle my daily workload. The inclusion of Thunderbolt ports expands connectivity options, allowing me to easily connect to my peripherals and accessories.
The Magic Keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience, and the trackpad is incredibly responsive, enhancing productivity. Plus, the integration with the macOS ecosystem means seamless syncing with my other Apple devices, streamlining my workflow.
Overall, the MacBook Pro M3 exceeds my expectations, offering a perfect blend of performance, portability, and versatility. It's a valuable tool for both work and play, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Incredible speed and performance. It has taken me awhile to get use to the Mac ecosystem and OS, but well worth the swap for this beast. Though keep in mind if you’re traveling a lot it is a BEAST and a snug fit in most 16” sleeves. Makes for a great screen on the go but not so great for airport security if you have to remove it and put it back in a flash. (Pro 16GB model here) but speaking of travel. The battery life is absurd, and the ability to charge off of any USBC in a pinch makes it a great travel buddy in that regard. I slightly wish I had gone for the 14” model but per reviews stuck to the 16 for increased cooling capacity. (One of my biggest complaints with the surface pro I was replacing was heat).

This thing is huge! 16” gigantic screen. Love it! The keys are a bit more raised than my last one and I much prefer it that way. It is HEAVY folks! If you have to travel for work, make sure you have a comfy backpack or one with wheels. All the specs listed are for exactly what I need. I am hoping to have this longer than the 7 years I had my last one.

Upgraded from a 2019 MacBook Pro 16”, and happy I did! Received $825 on that trade-in, well worth the total price of $1,700.
Super fast, plenty of ram for multitasking, and the newer features are such an improvement over my older MacBook!
Apple Intelligence is pretty cool, really enjoying the new laptop and it was an excellent deal with the trade value received.
Highly recommend this laptop if you’re in the market for an upgrade like I was!

This thing is a beast! I use Adobe Photoshop & Premiere and this Mac does not have a problem handling both at once. The amount of RAM is odd but definitely a game changer. I came from an iMac i5 8gb RAM. So in comparison this thing is blazing fast! I have really been enjoying the beautiful display, this laptop is large but portable. I even dropped it without a case and it didn’t even have a scratch on it!

This machine is amazing in its speed and power. The screen is beautiful and I have yet to find anything to slow it down. The biggest downside is that it is heavy. But, that does add to how sturdy it feels.

Finally decided to update my old Mac Pro with a new Mac Pro featuring M3 chip. My last one was purchased back in 2015 and had been running great but I started noticing a little lag. I upgraded to the same equivalent and it is amazing how much faster, clearer and smoother everything is. You don’t realize the slow decline of electronics until you really have the opportunity to compare them side by side. I personally go with the larger laptop screen since I travel and need access to edit graphics and video while on the road. Would purchase this model again.

Thia mac book m3 pro beast all of other laptops i have in terms of performance for apps specifically intended for creator apps like garage band and photo and imaging. This laptop not only out performs but because the apple system interwined allows even better cohesive aplications architecture to support a truly workplace like envirnment. The macbook also has the greatest battery life ive ever seen . Vs any other laptop. This combined makes this an amazing addition to my workflow. Not to say it has no drawbacks but the only drawbacks arent attributed to any fault of its own . It frankly has no faults flaws or mistakes. The only one the obvious one thats known the os for pc users . Obvious if your a pc user that is that.

Awesome Macbook Pro. Sleek style, fastest laptop i've ever owned. Very heavy but understandable with how much power and memory it has along with a super long battery life. Great investment, highly recommend.
