My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: MacBook Pro M3 Laptop
The new MacBook Pro M3 line is one of the best Apple laptops you can buy right now, and all three of them are currently $300 off . But if you’re looking for the best value for money, get a MacBook Pro laptop with an M3 Pro chip with an 11-core processor and 14-core GPU. It’s currently $1,699 on Amazon (originally $1,999), which is the lowest price since its release, according to price trackers .
Of the three MacBook Pro laptops, the M3 Pro has an 11-core processor and 14-core GPU and is the best option for the price. The weaker M3 MacBook Pro chip starts with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, but more importantly 8GB of RAM, which will get old pretty quickly, as tech writer Pranay Parab noted above (to be fair, it already seems outdated). . At the end of the day, you’ll still be paying a higher price for a laptop with 8GB of RAM, which is unacceptable. For just $300, you can add another 10GB and an M3 Pro chip with a more powerful CPU and GPU, as well as a more powerful battery that delivers about 30 hours of battery life (eight more than the M3 chip).
The 16.2-inch MacBook Pro M3 Pro is a more premium laptop, but it costs significantly more (around $550). Most people don’t need that much power and speed (I also find it less portable with a 16.2″ screen).
As PCMag notes in its “outstanding” review of the M3 Pro-powered MacBook Pro , this laptop blurs the line between a high-end laptop and a professional machine. It comes with a 120Hz refresh rate, a native resolution of 3024 by 1964, 18GB of RAM, a 512 SSD, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and many other premium features that make this MacBook Pro the best bang for your buck.
