The BEST review. I've been watching videos to make a decision for months now! You nailed it!🎉. Thank you!
Hi there, this was an incredible video! I love your outline, and very honest and rational approach. You hit the nail on the head with each segment, and I really appreciate the pacing and video production. I will definitely subscribe, and look for your reviews in the future. Great job.
Thanks for the review. Thinking of buying this comp for my partner for Christmas. I think I’m still gonna go ahead with it, my mind if fairly set, but I appreciate your input! I’ve found it difficult to find too many review on this model specifically. Keep doin ya thing fam 🙏🏾
Great video. When is your m3 max arriving? Did you go 14 inch with the m3 max or 16inch?
Thanks, excellent content and very useful!
Bought the M3 Pro with 1tb SSD. Coming from a 2015 air with 4GB ram and 128gb ssd is amazing. I’ll never use all the power, but the machine is fantastic.
How long does the battery last?
Purchased the 14" in silver with the 12 core pro chip a few days ago, so just waiting for it to be delivered. Will be good upgrading from my 2016 12" MacBook. That on top of a student discount made it a reasonable buy in my eyes. I also plan to use it for several years, so the pro chip should do me good down the line.
Silver is the best color because of the contrast between the dark black keyboard and the light silver body, no question about it.
@@doompod Agreed. Including we don’t know how space black will age over time. If the color will fade or will marks build up. At least for silver, it’ll just stay silver. Including I’m currently using a silver MacBook, so I know what to expect instead of jumping into the deep end for the new color.
Hey so I am upgrading my 2015 MacBook Pro and am super excited. I've been playing around with some not so advanced video editing for a possible social media channel. Not looking at anything 3d. Pretty amateur stuff but I just want to make sure I have enough machine for what I will be doing. I definitely want to move in to the new MacBook pro M3 Pro. Which spec would you recommend for what I am going to be doing?
Excellent assessment.
Thank you ! Appreciate you watching!
I'm looking to purchase my first Apple MacBook, and I'm interested in learning video editing using software like Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe After Effects. Additionally, I want to dive into photo editing with Lightroom and Photoshop and then start my youtube channel. I'm aiming for a laptop that will last me at least 3-4 years. Currently, I'm using a Windows laptop for simple tasks like Word, Excel, and web browsing. Any recommendations or advice on which MacBook model would suit my needs best?
Just picked this machine up today on amazon cant wait to use it its def an upgrade from my 2017 Mac thanks for the review
How is it?
love it well worth the money@@thushyanthanhype
Great advice. Finally, I may go for a MB Air 😊
What do you think about saving 300$ and just getting the M3 instead of the M3Pro for us of personal light editing on Adobe Premier? I have a 2016 Mac Book Pro with Intel chip and it works fine for me. The only issue is its 8 years old and I am looking for a new computer to upgrade. I like the MBPro as it has the external card slot instead of the Air model....any thoughts?
Epic video man
bought a m1max 64gb ram , 2tb storage , really happy w the purchase
Grabbed mine open box from Best Buy for $1600! Love mine :) Love the color, build, screen, everything!
I've just bought this exact model and colour and I absolutely love it
It's not just about if you want the latest and greatest... it's also about whether or not you want some of the new graphical capabilities. ie. ray tracing, etc...
Please help me, I am confused between Legion 9i and M3 Pro Max 36 GB 1TB varaint. I have no problem regarding the price, and both the OS are ok for me.
I use a few VM for ethical hacking apart from these I program and also do video edits.
Please recommend which one will be worth.
Great video bro nice pov
I’m looking at getting a Mac book for streaming content online via OBS but, unsure if the Air would work well for this. Also Great sweater!
I managed to use literally ice packs on a 2013 MacBook for streaming. For streaming you need live encoding plus the workload for the thing you actually want to stream. So in that case M3 Pro might be the right choice.
Came from 2013 MacBook Pro, I went with the M3 Max 8TB, 128 unified memory. Won’t be upgrading for a while.
What spec should a wedding photographer get? Would a m3 pro 16 inch 36gb ram be ok for heavy photo editing?
Quick question mate! Been wavering between the top M3 PRO chip with 36 gb of ram and the base 14 inch M3 max. The price difference is $300 (I have the education discount) so at that point I'm like I may as well just get the max, exactly how apple gets you haha. My main use case will be editing and grading 4.2.2 10 bit footage in resolve + extensive education use. Really would love your insight!
Haha yes that’s Apples grand plan. That’s how they get ya. Tbh based on your use case the pro should be ample. You could use the 300 for accessories or save it.
You’re the first one who speaks to those changing from windows and the M3 pro is their first laptop, thank you for the best review ❤️👏
Is it worth to upgrade from MBP 16” mid 2019- intel i7 16gb 512gb to MBP 14” m3 pro 18gb 512gb? Or go old version like m2 pro or M1 Max .. my work on Lightroom/photoshop and light work on 4k 10bit video editing?
The internet is a dumpster fire of negativity for the M3 chips so I wanted to say thanks for the objective viewpoint and great review.
With your m3, what does your cache stay at?
I just picked up an 16" M2 Pro MacBook Pro, 16GB/512GB. E-bay, 1500 used, but it does include AppleCare. I only need an Air. But, what I valued was at least 16gb ram, at least 512GB of SSD, preference for larger screen, preference for more power - but also a preference for lower price. So that's how I landed on going used. My desktop computer is a Mac Studio Ultra M1 128GB/1TB. I will highly likely go to M3 when the new studio's come out. This laptop is soooo nice. I'm sure the M3 is nice too, but for me there is just no need to the extra power from my laptop use case, which is mostly to shell into the desktop from another room.
Would you recommend the M3 Pro 11 core or the 12 core version?
looking to upgrade from a intel mac but idk if i should settle with a mbp m1 pro or spend extra for a mbp m3 pro chip. I intend to use it for premiere pro, ae, lr, and student work
Really informative video! I have a 2019 16” MBP, 8C/16GB w/1TB and am looking to upgrade. Definitely want 16”, but am conflicted about the best configuration: M3 Pro 12CPU/18GPU/36GB w/2TB or jumping to the M3 Max with 14CPU/30GPU/36GB w/2TB. Neither are inexpensive, but want to make sure I really see the difference if I’m spending over $3000 on an upgrade. Thanks!
All great options and yeah super tough decision! Glad I could help!
M2 pro had great deal at Costco few days back at $1599 with $50 extra off during checkout bringing it down to $1549 for 14” and 16gb RAM. Can’t beat that price and bang for buck
Even M3 Pro base version is going for $1799
Fuuuck I wish I would've known that. I got this one at Best Buy but it was discounted as well.
@@xilusRipper
Buy 20 Bucks!!!
Hi there
Could u make a video comparing MacBook Pro M3 16” vs MacBook Pro m1 16”
Literally confused abt which one to get
Thanks Tausif
just ordered, upgrading from a 2012 macbook pro, hope its a worthy upgrade
Nice review, made my decision move from MBA 15 to the MBP 14. MBP should be nice as well, but I carry the Mac with my everyday on the metro, bus, so....
Hear that macbook pro's display blurrs the content like fast action scenes, is it true?
I was looking to replace my M1 MBA 13 8/256 2020. It was 3 years old and sold it for $440 to online retailer. I settled on the MBP 14 M3 18/512 that was on sale for $1799 as best bang for the buck.. Also happened to have $420 cash back on credit cards so that's a total of $860 off. So I guess it depends on how you look at it.
I love the MBP 14 M3 Pro. Even if you aren't maxing out the capabilities for the MBP, the screen, sound, ports, and how snappy it is doing routine stuff is still worth it if you don't mind the slightly heavier weight compared to a MBA 13. I'm not sure how much more you would want to spend on a laptop, but 36GB or ram for extra $400 would still be a good value. I still have a PC workstation that I used most of the Adobe Suite on professionally, FCP, Maya, but I probably wont be using professional creative programs in next 3 years, as my business is a lot of everything and the basic photo editing and decent camera and lenses is sufficient for what I'm doing, and if I get back into any creative projects the MBP M3 Pro will have a lot of options and capabilities. And if you are already deep into professional creative workflow you already know what you need.
I want macbook for music production. Which one should i buy, macbook air m3 chip or mcbook pro m3 pro chip . I want my projects to run smoothly
Please recommend the best MacBook Air or Pro for someone like me who is a PhD History student, and who has been getting by with my 2015 MacBook Pro with 512GB. I have 190GB still available, and iCloud subs. I don’t play games or edit videos but I work with PDFs and Safari all day long. Please help me choose the best option while maintaining a sensible budget. I am not in the habit of buying new devices; I only upgrade when I have to and my laptop struggles a little at the moment. Thank you for your very informative video. I hope you will give me your advice.
Awesome video
What about the M3 Max? Is 36gb ram worth it? Versus 18gb?
Are you 100% that 14 inches is for you? I really love how it looks, and it looks lighter, I don't have an external monitor, I like to work alone with the laptop, I am a music producer.
I really want to buy a MacBook, but I don't know if it's worth the money, and if I need its power. I am a student, studying to be a programmer, I am fond of photography and video. I would like to be sure that the laptop can cover any of my needs, or possible future hobbies. Which MacBook do you recommend? or any laptop at all. In my country, the MacBook air m3 16/512 and the MacBook pro m3 pro 18/512 cost the same money ($1,700).
bro, can you give me example comparison here, so the important thing that is confused is i have 2 choises, macbook pro M1 Max 16 inch 64gb ram and M3 Pro 36gb ram,
in my country it has the different like $814 for the price, is that better to take the M1 Max, its old but more spech i got, isn,it?
I want to buy a new laptop now, never had a macbook, should i go for the 16 inch m2 pro or m3 pro??? Thanks guys, my budget is max 3k
Hey Tausif how's the performance now? Actually I'm planning to go with 512Gb variant and I'm a content creator.
The advice that I read is for photographers who work with large raw images and panoramic photos in LR Classic / Photoshop is to opt for the 36 GByte model in the M2 Pro line though one higher level Pro mentioned that he would opt for the Max version for these use-cases. Certainly folks in the data science / machine learning fields for example would want to opt for the Max version with plenty of RAM. I myself may wait for the M3 Max Studio.
I do tons of light room and photoshop editing professionally and honestly I was fine with even a MacBook Air lol. These machines are ridiculously powerful!
@@TausifHussainwhat files do you work with within LR Classic? I'm using a 2020 M1 13" MBP and it can be painfully slow to load at times working with my Canon R5 45mp compressed raw files. Things like zooming in to 100% or 200%, using the clone/heal tool, etc. I'll click to zoom and wait several seconds for it to respond and render. I'll click an area with the heal tool and wait several for it to process. Even when brushing (masking) sometimes the brush can't keep up with slow movements and lags behind then brushes into the wrong area. Have you noticed any substantial differences in this regard between the M2/M3 chips?
Where on earth do you read this lol 😂
M3 Pro Macbook pro with 11 Core CPU and 14 Core GPU, can I spec it up to 1 TB SSD and 36 Gigs Ram? Or do I need to spec up the processor (12 core CPU and 18 Core GPU) as well for getting the 36 Gigs Unified memory? Please suggest.
Yeah you can definitely spec up the ram and ssd. You don’t have to upgrade processor for those!
Tausif, would the M3 Pro be good enough for school, e-commerce, and possibly dabbling in photo and video editing over the next few years? I’m trying to talk myself out of the Max because even though I like going max spec everything (more important to me on a phone than a computer), I just don’t see myself using it to the extent the Max was designed for.
Money isn’t an issue either, but if I don’t need to spend it, I won’t lol
Edit: I know an M2 Air is good, but I want the better display lol
I code and even record videos and do 1080 Livestream for an AI chatbot on a 2013 MacBook pro. You don't need the Max xD. For light workloads you might even profit more from the higher number of efficiency cores.
Just upgraded from a Mid 2013 MacBook Air, Intel i7, 8GB Ram, 512SSD to a MacBook Pro M3 Pro, 18GB Ram, 1TB SSD.
Much needed upgrade; my plan for the air is to wipe it clean and install windows 10 on it.
Do you think the base model M3 pro specs 11 core cpu is good enough for normal usage and video editing?
Yes
thxxx for this!
Yea, this new black is so nice.
So, I wish I kept my M2 pro. Now, how do I tether with this?
Just bought M3 PRO 14in 1TB coming from a 2012 MacBook Pro i5 Intel. It’s been long over due
I'm thinking of buying this as my first macbook with 1TB 12Core CPU and 18 Core GPU. Upgrading from a 2019 X1 Carbon.
I’m a casual user but I really value displays. So the mini LED and 120hz displays have made me want to get a pro as opposed to an air
I’ve been incredibly happy with my M3 Pro MBP.
can we connect 3 monitors to M3 Pro ?
Switching from my intel i7 2014 Mac Pro to the m3 pro 16 inch
M3 Pro\Max chips this year are really geared for 3D artists more than video editors and for good reason as its been a forgotten user segment that is mostly dominated by PC users using Nvidia studio laptops and desktops. If you're a 3D animator that wants to come back to the Mac than pick the M3 Pro/Max over M1 or M2 anything because of the new gpu architecture and much needed support for hardware accelerated raytracing which isn't available on previous M Series chips. Especially if you use gpu rendering in your workflow via Redshift and Unreal Engine 5.2 and above. Gamers and 3D professionals finally getting some acknowledgment which is refreshing. Still waiting for someone to review the M3 Pro vs a 40 series GPU in 3D content creation workflows.
here's who the base M3 Pro is for.
Someone who wants a MacBook Air in the 14" size with the Pro body. You get better speakers, SSD, display, and a fan. This machine is more that enough for basic video editing and most uses which 80% of people use their laptops for. Upgrade the RAM and you're set.
Sure you can pay a couple hundred more for the M3 Pro chip, but why? most of us don't need it.
That said, I got the 16" M3 Pro with 36GB RAM. But am thinking of getting the base M3 as a travel MacBook.
Great choice. That’s a solid spec machine.
I guess you wanted to say M3 base model in pro is similar to air in better chassis and not the m3 pro. M3 pro is much better processor where multi core and GPU process is involved. M3 pro base comes with 18gb ans is much better processor then base models used in Air
@@SAURAV2k3 Yes, lots of YT creators either artfully mislead viewers or are just misunderstanding that the MB Pro 14 (M3) is an update to the MB Pro 13 (M2), not a realigning of the MB Pro 14 (M2 Pro). It is for those who want a bit of extras compared to the MB Air M2. But a caveat: the rumours are that the MB Air M3 will have OLED 120Hz and be priced similarly to the MB Pro 14 (M3). The MB Air M2 will likely be the cheaper entry Mac, with the MB Air M1 being discontinued.
Confusing
I have a early 2015 macbook pro looking to get the m3 pro!
Good choice!
Great video! I think best bang for buck is a refurbished M2 pro. Goes for $1599 on apple’s website, 16 gigs of ram, more ports, much better than base M3. My thought process was exactly the same as yours, I initially ordered the M3 and upgraded the ram to 16 gigs but then realized for only $200 more I get all the benefits of the M3 pro. But for someone who refuses to pay more than $1600, I think the M2 pro is unquestionably a better bang for buck than the base M3
Great point. The m2 Pro is a gem for sure! I’m glad you didn’t fall for the best m3 haha. Appreciate you watching!
The base MB Pro 14 (M3) is targeting a specific market, really an ultrabook. It is excellent for those of us that can easily live with 8GB of RAM and are looking for a bargain; already $250 off during Black Friday and Amazon in the UK has £150 off so £550 less than the base MB Pro 14 (M3 Pro). You get all of the main features (120Hz, miniLED) but just do not get extra ports, more RAM, and pro chip. I expect ion a few months the discounts will be even higher, maybe £1300 in the UK for that base M3 chip.
Hey bro i need help... the m3 base only come in 8GB of ram and M3 pro in 18 and m3 max in 32 or higher right?? I ordered a 18GB RAM macbook pro M3 ship for 2100$ i just wanna confirm that it is a M3 pro
most people will get the most out of the base m3pro over an m2pro or m1max hence the better single threaded performance and efficiency. However creatives creators and developers better off going for a 2nd hand m1max or m2max. bandwidth and ram size is key and i myself am looking to get my hands on a 2nd hand or refurb m2max 16inch. I currently use a 13900h 4060 zenbook pro 14. Mac is the way to go
Took me sooo long to decide between the M3 Pro and M3 Max 16 inch. I decided Imma go with the M3 Pro because I would be saving about 1200CAD. With that, I can upgrade my existing PC to be far better than the M3 Max in terms of graphics.
That’s actually a great decision. The m3 max upgrades are quite niche in terms of performance you’ll actually notice over the m3 pro. Putting that money instead into a pc build will be a solid addition!
Agree, the pro is the perfect spot. For the money, yes, you could get a dedicated gaming machine or well upgrades.
The pro is a perfect machine, still powerful but work related, and powerful.
Apple in gaming terms, I believe, is about 3-5 more years away. That's that's only if they play cards right with developers and price points of the Pros.
Even the m3 pro 16inch is very average for gaming wise. Apple hasn't been good with games in a long long time, no devs really optimise for them yet.
That's the one I got, too :) and i love it, tho, and kills windows with a battery-powered machine. Off the cord, it does awesome for working! I was actually surprised. I'm used to having to have my laptop plugged in, as most windows laptops for full power use a hybrid type system. They pull from battery and cord at the same time and want you to have 80% or more battery for it.
16 inch is amazing, in my opinion, 14 is only worth it if you are a select few that need it smaller for airports, etc. People I see with 14s use an external monitor mostly, so not even they use 14.
16 is a perfect size where the screen itself it large enough for working
@@Everyday-man yeah I would for sure go for the 16 inch as well. I was using the 13 inch 2019 MBP for portability. And then dual 27inch monitors at home, smolness of the 13 inch makes me feel so unproductive lol. I was only thinking of going for the M3 max in case I do machine learning or AI image/video generations on the go. But I decided to just leave those tasks for my PC instead.
I never owned a MB or a MBP, only have worked with pc's so far. now some people are suggesting that investing the same or even less money in a pc may end up in a better result rather than spending so much money for a MB. But then again is it not that Apple computers benefit from the reputation that they keep up with the technology much longer than pcs? So is investing in a 3000 Euro MBP not the better solution, if instead I may get a similar good pc laptop for (much) less, maybe 2000?
@@trezegol2007 I personally don't think investing in a windows laptop will get you more than what MacBooks have to offer. Only time I can think of is when it comes to gpu tasks, windows laptops with dedicated GPUs are the way to go. But everything other than that, I feel that a MacBook would do better at than a windows laptop. I use Linux for programming, windows for game development and gaming, and mac for portability. I've decided not to go for the M3 max simply because I already have a system at home that can handle any of the GPU heavy tasks required. M3 Pro would be enough for all my other tasks, even the ones that require graphics, but just not do it as well as my PC with a dedicated GPU would. I do suggest you invest in a good MBP if you don't absolutely need the power of a dedicated GPU system.
So it's not worth upgrading if you already have a good spec'd M2? But if you have an older Macbook Pro, then go for it?
I mean this is quite subjective though. Also depends on your needs and what you have. If you’re a basic user the MacBook Air itself is enough.
Can anyone comment on viewing raw files on such a machine? I have a windows OS pc running a ryzen 9 cpu and 3070 founders edition and I simply miss Mac OS and the simplicity of Apple products.
The last MacBook Pro I owned was a 2014 MacBook pro and looking at raw files and editing 4k footage was a nightmare. I want to be able to look through photos without the computer buffering and loading the file
Can you check whether this macbook heat up when connected to a external monitor?
I’ve been using it this way for weeks and no it does not.
Upgraded from an M2 Air 16GB 256gb to an M3 Pro 18gb 512gb and it is WORLDS apart…. Great video!
Any specifics or example of differences?
Hope to see video comparison between 14 inch MBP M3 Pro and Refurbished 16 inch MBP M2 Pro
I have hard time to decide between brand new MacBook Pro M3 Pro 14 inch with 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD or Refurbished MacBook Pro M2 Pro 16 inch with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD.
Currently I am using MacBook Pro 16 inch late 2019 on Intel i9 with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. So, I don’t have any issue with portability at all.
The indecisive comes from the M2 Pro vs M3 chip and RAM difference between those 2 machines (36GB RAM on M3 Pro vs 32GB RAM on M2 Pro)
Which one do you think has better value and better investment protection between brand new MacBook Pro M3 Pro 14 inch with 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD and Refurbished MacBook Pro M2 Pro 16 inch with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD? I am not video editor or digital content creator or any graphic intensive users here.
Any valuable input is welcome. Thank you.🙏🏼
I just ordered the M3 Pro 14" coming from a 2019 16" Intel I7 and I am expecting a pretty significant upgrade. I couldn't pass it up with an $820 trade in credit.
I bought one, it is a great laptop in my opinion, and its going to last me a lifetime.
Im probably gonna get the mbp m3 pro 14 base model but 36 ram upgrade along with base 512gb space this model is good enough for me
I’m a photographer. I got 64 RAM so the computer will meet my needs for a while. I’m upgrading from a 2019, older than M1 and the computer is having trouble. I will keep this one until it is having trouble and given the cost, I hope that is five years.
Eyy he did the Dave2D nose test haha
I am very excited to upgrade in a few weeks to the Macbook Pro M3 Pro!
Writing this comment on my 12 year old (!) 2012 Macbook Pro Retina (back in the day it was the first time Steve Jobs introduced the retina display) which i bought when starting college in 2012 for a wopping 2700 euros of student money. What a journey it has been for me with this device! It stood with me during my 6 years of college, i wrote my master thesis with this laptop, i wrote my girlfriend (now wife)'s master thesis with this laptop, i started my first wedding photography business with this laptop around 2018 which made me a ton of money and now currently my wife is using this laptop for her own baby photography business that she started and she still using this laptop for professional photoshop editing! UNBELIEVABLE. It's crazy to look back on the journey! But it's time to move on, I am sure the Macbook Pro M3 Pro will be worth every penny over the long run too and i hope to write a similar comment in 2036!!
I bought the M3 pro and compared it to my M1 pro and didn’t see any difference, so I returned the M3 pro, I really wanted the black Mac but color isn’t enough to upgrade.
But isnt it though? haha jkjk you did the right move if you didnt see any diff! Congrats on saving money!
I'm gonna wait for the M3 MacBook Air. Hopefully they fix the base ssd and I can finally upgrade my M1 Air.
I have M1 Air too I think I will wait next year too
Finally moved on from intel i9. M3 max arrives tomorrow
Finally upgrading from my 13” 2018 Intel MacBook Pro to this beauty. I chose the base 14” M3 Pro chip in, of course, space black. Got it for $1500 after trading in that Intel Macbook! Cheaper than the M2 Pro and base M3.. can’t go wrong!
I’m about to trade my 19’ intel how much did you get for yours if you don’t mind me asking?
@@tanksley1522 It honestly depends on where you take it. I got around $500 off
Choose the M3 base model if you're a casual user; only 15% of users need this. Opt for the M3 Pro base model if you're on a budget and do coding or editing (40% of users). Consider the M3 Max base model if you're a professional in coding, video, photo, or 3D work (30% of users). Apple nudges users towards the M3 Max lineup this year, but it's likely affordable for professionals. Avoid the 14-inch laptop due to reported heat issues, resulting in 10-20% lower performance, as confirmed by Apple reps, MaxTech, and ArtIsRight.
Thanks for sharing this! Appreciate your insight.
True, but I would recommend the MacBook Air for casual users which is probably 90% of the population , the base M3 MBP are for the 2% of people who need a Mini-LED display tbh , and then the other 8% should get the M3 Pro/ Max MBP
@Applecore365 yep that’s exactly what I mentioned in this video.
@@Applecore365one complaint. We shouldn’t call the base m3 mbp. They don’t call it a pro, it’s not a pro. Just the same chassis. Like literally. It’s not on the tab….or on the box. It’s a MacBook. Not a MacBook Pro. Sorry just a pet peeve…CZcamsrs and people in the comment keep calling it a pro and it’s not.
@@ohmyv3gatron well Apple calls it a MacBook Pro hence why people are referring it as a MacBook Pro - for Apple the Pro name stems from the other hardware choices not necessarily the chip - for example iPad Pro and iPad Air both have base chips but the iPad Pro has mini-LED and promotion , similar to iPhones - you think everyone buying a “Pro” iPhone cares about performance? The pro just means more advanced hardware to be fair
My M3 18gb MCP is running circles around my boyfriends M2 64gb MCP. The m3 chip handles multiples tasks in a more efficient way.
Mine is the 2015 model so anything is an up grade for me I’m sure
What about those who haven’t bought a laptop since 2016 “windows hp”. Would use it to play league of legends 😂 and school work, would the m3 base be sufficient 🤔 or would you rather just get the pro chip and be future proof
Is the 14in, 12 core, 1tb, 36gb ram overkill?
That’s what I’m getting but I’m sticking with the 11-core version. No need to upgrade the processor
I got a M3 with 24GB ram and 1TB storage ($2199) instead of M3 pro because I need more than 18GB of ram but feeling 36GB is overkill ($400 upgrade price for M3 Pro) 18GB ram is fine if you are planning to just use macOS but considering if I need to boot up Windows on Parallels to do some Windows software development, I don’t think it is enough. Typically when getting Windows laptop, 16GB memory is the recommended. If I assigned 16GB to Windows, macOS would only left 2GB ram to play which for sure isn’t enough and it will be using swap memory.
I feel that M3 is powerful enough for my workload and rather spend the money top up on memory and storage.
nice
You look like older brother of Captain Sinbad. he's also youtuber
I have the base variant (18GB 512GB). This machine runs DaVinci Resolve as smooth as butter.

Literally this came off a windows laptop that died.got the 1tb storage with the un-nerfed m3 pro chip
what rly suxs is that in US it cost $1999 and in Europo 2500Eu and that is = to $2600... apple WTF !!!
Just started watching this video .
Below is my journey.
Order number 1> on Apple website
M3 with 16gb of ram.£1899 i think
Was great but I looked that m3 pro was only 200 more so (returned)
Order 2> MacBook Pro M3 pro base model 14 inch (I fell in love with this device ) perfect paid £2099.
Found the price on Amazon Apple Store for £1949 so returned the one I got to Apple Store as they don’t price match and now in two days I get my final M3pro model for £1949 (I have gone with finance as well 10 months 0% interest ) so will be earning interest on amount via saving account while I pay for it. (Financial arbitrage )
Awesome!!! That’s exactly what I talk about in this video. M3 pro makes the most sense! Congrats on your purchase!
I’m on Amazon uk right now😂 in what colour did you get it?
@@japanluv I got silver because it’s fingerprint free . If you want to put a skin on it you can and change colour but I liked silver .
@@haroonvlogs5437 Thanks. Enjoy the machine 🤗
@@japanluv it’s arrived . Going to set it up this evening . (Third machine and hopefully the final one )
If you have base model M1 Pro ? Would you upgrade from it to m3 pro base model
i think not. btw I also have the m1 pro base
What about a MacBook Air 2017 intel? M3 or m3 pro or m2 pro? My first choice was just to get a base m3 but upgrading the ram but might as well get the base m3 pro plus space black
@@johannmadrid8864 you definitely need an upgrade, go for base m3 pro, reward yourself, and it is for future proofing also.
The keyboard sadly is a disappointment in comparison with thinkpad. Amazing laptop in total
The Space Black color should be rebranded to Deep Space Gray.
Semantics. It’s a soft creative black
The M1 Max is the best bang for your buck.. the normal user is never going to be able to use it to its max. The price of the new gen is a RIPOFF
I got the 2023 16gb RAM M3 Pro 16inch 512gb SSD for $2000 plus tax hehehe
