Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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 !!

Works great and a much needed update from my 5 year old computer. Switching to Apple Silicon and getting the extra ram feels like a dream. Can’t recommend it enough to people who know they like Mac and need the extra push to do what they need. The new design is also quiet and the fans come out the side rather than the back. Thought it was weird but it works great. Touch ID works even better than my previous and the screen cannot be beat.

Performance The M3 Pro processor is an absolute powerhouse. It boasts significant improvements in both CPU and GPU performance compared to its M1 predecessor. Expect: Blazing-fast multi-core performance: The M3 Pro's additional cores translate into a massive boost for demanding tasks like video editing, 3D modeling, and complex simulations. Combined with 18GB of RAM, multitasking is a breeze, even with intensive applications. Enhanced graphics: The integrated GPU in the M3 Pro delivers substantial gains, making it a more compelling option for graphic designers, video editors, and even casual gamers. Efficiency Apple's silicon excels in both performance and power efficiency. The M3 Pro is built on an even more advanced process than the M1, leading to: Extended battery life: Enjoy longer hours unplugged thanks to the remarkable efficiency of the M3 Pro. Stretch productivity sessions and worry less about finding a power outlet. Memory Matters The base M1 models often felt limited by 16GB of RAM. Apple addresses this with the M3 Pro configurations, offering up to 36GB of unified memory. This has several benefits: Smooth handling of large files: Ideal for creatives working with massive images, videos, or complex datasets. Aggressive multitasking: Seamlessly switch between multiple demanding programs without worrying about slowdowns. Other Notable Considerations Display: The M3 Pro MacBook Pro maintains the superb Liquid Retina XDR display from its predecessors. Pricing: Naturally, the M3 Pro upgrade, especially with 36GB of RAM, commands a premium price. Should You Upgrade? The decision to upgrade depends on your needs and budget: Power Users: If you're in the creative or technical fields pushing your M1 MacBook Pro to its limits, the M3 Pro with 36GB of RAM delivers a game-changing experience. Casual Users: For everyday use like web browsing, email, and light content creation, the M1 MacBook Pro remains plenty capable, making the upgrade less of a necessity. Conclusion The MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro processor and 36GB of RAM represents a significant leap in performance and efficiency over the already impressive M1 models. If you demand the absolute best and have the budget, it's an upgrade worth serious consideration. However, if the existing M1 models still suit your needs well, there's no shame in waiting for future generation updates. Let me know if you'd like a more in-depth analysis of any specific aspects of either model!

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.

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.

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).

Blazing fast speed, great battery life, and quiet! I've yet to max this thing out. Battery charges extremely fast also. Keyboard is better than my older Mac Pro from 2015 but I guess everything is at this point!

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!

The MacBook has been a powerhouse machine for everyday applications and more niche requests. I do photo and video editing with zero hiccups. Has a clean sleek design and works seamlessly with a docking station and external monitor. The OS is very intuitive and simple for any user to dive into. It could use more ports but I have a type C hub and eliminates any of those issues. Sync well with my iPhone, iPad, and other Apple devices.

Really excellent battery life and build quality. The speakers are amazing, it is like having a bluetooth speaker. The display is wonderful with the deep blacks and smooth refresh rate. Only downside is the 16” is pretty heavy and a bit unwieldy at times. The ABS keycaps are not as ideal as more durable PBT caps. Other than that it is a great machine.

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!

Never owned a laptop like this and haven't used a Macbook since middle school so the nostalgia was real when I opened it up for the first time. Lightning fast, pairs great with my iPhone and soon my Android devices, great for casual and professional use.
