The M3 MacBook Pro starts out at $300 more than the previous model. It DOES address some of the concerns I had - but there’s something about the battery life that I don’t quite understand - so let’s talk about what Apple did here and whether the newer model is actually worth getting.

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the 14” M3 MacBook Pro and the 13” M2 MacBook Pro was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
Would love to know what you think.Is this a laptop that you would use and why or why not. If you’re currently using something else, please share your experience with me. I am grateful in advance 🙏
Always great to geat these detailed and concise comparisons on what's available.
Thanks so much Thomas!
Only issue consumers have with these books is Apple's poor pricing strategy. That in 2023 Apple sell a computer with 8GB for $1599 and upgrading to 16GB is $200... that is madness not business.
Wow ! Your videos and your advice are top notch , honest , informative and reliable.
I highly recommend your channel! I am going to be a long time subscriber. So remember buy it nice or buy it twice
I’m so grateful for the kind words and support. Thank you for being part of the channel! 🙏🏻
Thanks for making this video. I got the M2 MBP 13" 24Gb RAM/1TB SSD for $1299.99 from BestBuy bc I wanted the newest and last model with the touchbar but the differences keep irking me such as the way better screen and speakers. I have another couple weeks left for return window. Thinking hard about returning the 13" for the 14" M3 Pro model bc the difference is only a few hundred more but you get sooo much more. I'm not sure if the touchbar is worth all the differences compared to the 14". I used a M1 14" when they first came out and the features like 120HZ miniLED screen, multi speaker sound and design were so much better. You could notice the bass from subwoofers and much clearer sound on the 14' models. The 13" doesn't even have HDR either! Big picture quality hit. I use it to watch TV with at night instead of huge room TV, so as much as I love the touchbar, and even tho I got it at a smokin' sale price of $1299 new on sale, I think I might return and go w the 14" M3 Pro 18GB RAM/512GB SSD on sale now for 1750 or they have open box in EX condition for around 1600.
Excellent video!! Great timing for us starting school in January!! I am looking forward the the 14 M3 version of the MBP soon. Happy Hanukkah!!
Thank you for the kind words! Happy Hanukkah!
Can you please make a video on how to clean (best products) MacBook screen/keyboard? Thanks
I still love my MacBook Pro M2 a very reliable laptop and the most compact laptop I would ever use. I don't think it's worth getting an M3 MacBook Pro you rather spend either a refurbished M1 Pro or M2 Pro for your money.
That’s good perspective!
im using m2 13 inch macbook pro 8gib ram 512ssd storage, im using mainly for office work( word, excell, power points, mendeley etc) and some light entertainment (web surfing, youtube, light gaming maybe). is it my m2 13 inch MBPRO mopdel enough for me?
Great video. The display is very important to me. It’s a debate between the pro and air. The Air is lighter, but I probably would prefer the Pro. It’s too bad there’s not a 15 inch Pro. So I’m kinda torn between the 15 in Air and 16in Pro. Thoughts? Is the 16 inch pro too big? Thx again. Great content!
Thanks! I end up using the 16 Pro - but it is big and heavy. I just live that display so much. You can look for an M1 or M2 Pro 16 and save money
I’m still using the base m1 released since 2021. Any suggestions on upgrading to the m1 max or m3 pro or m3 max?
Thank you for watching. I would need to know more about what you do and why you’re looking to upgrade.
Which is better samsung S9 ultra tablet or apple Mac 14 inch m3 pro...I need productivity and efficiency with solid performance for study and work
The MBP has better performance for sure. Better battery life. Desktop apps. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the video, I always look forward to them. I know from experience that 8GB is enough for casual users, and I think it's a shame that Apple charges $200 for the upgrade, but MacBooks last so long that I think upgrading the M3 MBP 14 to 16GB of memory will show a good ROI over time.
I appreciate the insights Bryan. You definitely pay a premium for upgrades and I agree that it’s wise to take a long view.
How long do you think the system update can last though? Even if the laptop can last for over 10 years.
@@LordBagdanoff What I have discovered on older Mac laptops is there are ways to install "unsupported" upgrades on older machines (dosdude comes to mind) that work extremely well.
I wish I watched this review before I bought the new MacBook Pro 14. I did have to pay that extra 200 for more GB but my last MBP lasted exactly 10 years. Still works for basic things but uber slow. The MacBook Pro 14 is definitely heavier than I anticipated BUT I prefer the MagSafe charging port and the screen clarity. Here’s to another decade with this one- hopefully.
and don't bother a m2 Pro - My M1 Pro is absolutely fine
I too have an M1 Pro MBP, and I agree!
M1 Pro is excellent - keep using it!
@@TechGearTalk I'ts my best MacBook Pro I've ever had. Love it!
Coming from 2017 MBP 13” with 8GB Ram & 512GB SSD, which MBP should I go for now at the end of 2023?
Really need your help. Which cpu core were you comparing in your video. The 11 or 12?
CPU was 8. This is the M3 MBP not the M3 Pro MBP (I know Apple makes it confusing with the naming)
@@TechGearTalk is 10 core gpu enough for gaming?
What's your opinion on MacBook Pro 13.3" Laptop - Apple M2 chip - 24GB Memory - 1TB SSD @ $1299?
That’s a beast at a great price
@@TechGearTalkthanks, just pulled the trigger on it
Where'd you buy it at that price? I'm looking at once on the apple website refurbished that's slightly more than that
@@MrSh4des Bestbuy
@@MrSh4desit was available at Best Buy both silver and space grey.
Agreed.
The pro models should come standard with 512GB SSD & 16GB RAM
Also $200 for an 8GB ram upgrade is CRAZY
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your opinion!
Unfortunately m2 pro isn’t available in my country only the new ones are available since we only have apple resellers
No used market?
@@TechGearTalk there is but I don’t prefer it personally i like buying new or at least certified refurbished and only one apple reseller has them but at very very few quantities.
I want to upgrade my base line 2019 MBP and i am really conflicted between the m2 15 air which starts at 1450$ here or the m3 pro MBP which cost 2550$ after tax, or even wait for the m3 air.
My current use is for uni but I’m graduating very soon and i don’t know shall I future proof myself and not make the mistake with my current MacBook or I won’t be needing that much performance. Also the absence of a fan is worrying me for a bit. Apple really did us no good with the m3 pricing structure 😵💫.
Sorry if it’s too long of a comment but i have been researching since the m3 chip came out and didn’t land on a decision 😁, let’s hope that apple opens their first store here is Saudi Arabia 🤞🏼.
@@TechGearTalk I finally made my decision, just bought the 15” air baseline. I’m loving it so far, no heat or lag whatsoever on the same tasks I’ve been doing! 😄
I used to have a m2 pro and it was amazing edit: it was the 13 inch one
not me watching this on a m2 13 inch MacBook Pro 💀
I love my MacBook Pro with its 133 inch screen
It’s a little hard to carry - but movies look great!
What if the difference between prices is $400? I can get an M2 13" MacBook Pro 8/256 for around $800 and the M3 14" MacBook Pro 8/512 for $1200. I know that for my use cases, 8GB RAM of both models won't cut it. Maybe doable for now, but definitely not after 2 years. Thus, I will have given either of these laptops to my dad and bought a new Max series laptop. Though, I can also get the M3 Pro MBP 18/512 for $1700. If I were to spend that much, I want to use it for at least 5 years. My requirements will include doing college AI coursework, proper video editing for channels with over 300k subs, and working as an intern for companies.
Should I go with the base M2/M3 chips and give it to my dad after two years (for Day Trading mostly), or should I stretch for an M3 Pro and keep it for longer? Will it be capable enough? I think that tech would change, and it is nicer to get a newer laptop than to stick to yesterday's tech for longer. What do you think?
where to you get M3 Pro MBP 18/512 for $1700.?
@@drgems_deutsch I could find it in micro center, b&h and best buy
MacBook Pro 13.3" - M2 chip - 24GB Memory - 1TB SSD 1400 $ - is it a good deal ??
That’s a great amount of storage and ram. So if you’re ok with the smaller (and not as good) display - plus the port differences and the rest of the features I mentioned - then you got a fantastic laptop!!! CONGRATS!!!
@@TechGearTalk Thanks a lot for stamp of approval. My Air gets hot like hell. 14 inch Pro are boxy and ugly. And at $ 1400 fully loaded felt this is best bang for buck. Thanks again for replying.
Yeah I have the new M3 14” MBPro now 8/516 and I love it… but I also saw that 13” M2 MBPro 24/1TB and am considering switching to that (both $1399) because of all that power… Then again the camera, microphone and speaker are plus no MagSafe and no HDMI. 🤔
@@mangadolo Agree with all your point. M2, 24 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD, is hard to miss. I am going to miss the ports for sure. But I feel 8 GB RAM is not much to justify 1400 even if it is M3 or M4 or M5 processor.
Macbookpro m3 no embling macbookpro on bottom of the screen
bro has replay mod irl
Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
I didn’t know Apple made a 133” MacBook!!😅
It’s very hard to ship 😂🤣
My ocd is showing! Couldn’t resist. Good very. Engaging delivery!
Is M3 pro 11 core cpu with 36gb a good match?
That’s a beast of a computer for sure!
@@TechGearTalk they have a 12 core cpu option as well. I’m just wondering if it needs to match with 36gb?
The size of the display is disgusting tbh...nothing like 13 inch pri period
stupid notch, not buying it because of the ugly notch, its an easy fix apple, just get it done, you're not getting my money until its fixed
