My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: MacBook Pro M3 With Upgraded Memory
The latest MacBook Pro M3 line is one of the best Apple laptops money can buy right now, and people probably knew it: the 8GB RAM MacBook Pro M3 sold out within hours of going on sale for $1,099 (originally $1,599) this Monday. in the morning (but you can still get it at Best Buy ). But what most people don’t know is that the same MacBook Pro Laptop M3 with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD storage is also on sale for $1,399 (originally $1,999), and it’s actually a much better deal. At the current price, this is the lowest price since release, according to price tracking tools .
The cheaper M3-powered MacBook Pro, which has sold out, starts with the same 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8GB of RAM, which will get old pretty quickly, as tech writer Pranay Parab noted (honestly, this already seems outdated). For an additional $300, you can double the memory to 16GB and double the storage to a 1TB SSD. Here are the characteristics:
-
8-core processor
-
10-core GPU
-
16 GB RAM
-
1TB SSD storage
A laptop with 16GB of RAM has unofficially become the standard for decent memory that can handle multitasking, graphic design, video editing, coding or any demanding task. As Pranay says, unless you plan on replacing your laptop every few years, upgrading your RAM is a great way to future-proof your Mac.
As Mashable notes in its review of the M3-powered MacBook Pro , the laptop has impressive battery life of nearly 17 hours on a charge, a familiar design compared to previous models with much faster performance, and excellent speakers.
