5.0 out of 5 stars Big Improvement over Intel Models
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2024
I purchased the 14" model with the 18 Gb of integrated memory/M3 Pro.

The quality of the build is outstanding. Performance: outstanding. Screen: Excellent. Battery Life: the most amazing I've ever had. I have it connected to Ethernet which takes lots of power normally. Not with this little guy. I can go for hours with it and it drops by maybe 3%. It is efficient and DOES NOT get warm. No fans either. How'd they do that? I like the 14". Does what I need it to do.

I chose the MacBook Pro instead of The Air because the screen is noticeably better and brighter. Not that the Air is bad. It isn't. This one is just better. If you're an older person, that will matter.

Amazon delivered it ahead of time and well packaged and protected. I like that Amazon took the time to put it in a generic box. Smart and appreciated. So, A+ for the product and A+ for Amazon.

Very pleased with the Amazon price point too. Those prices float around, I know, so pay attention. This is yet another great Apple product. Loved the Intel laptop, also purchased through Amazon, but Silicon is better.

I use this macBook mostly for photo editing and storage. I like the built in SD card reader. It also has 3 Thunderbolt ports, and a MagSafe charging cable.

The 14" Liquid Retina display is awesome and makes it easy to edit with realistic color and detail. The M3 Pro chip is excellent and processes very quickly.

If it is time to upgrade your laptop, I would recommend giving this one a try. I am very pleased with mine.

This laptop has unparalleled battery life, the screen is second only to Oled the notch is annoying and unnecessary but you get over it, they should really update the software so that the icons can't overflow under the notch. The keyboard is nice but it has very little travel, the trackpad is nice as well. Macos has its flaws but almost all of them can be fixed with third party tools, ie window snapping, keyboard history, gestures, ect... Keyboard shortcuts are a must for properly navigating the os. The one major thing lacking from this mac is the ability to play most games, but there is an active effort to solve that problem, and if you're really into gaming this laptop isn't for you. Also, this is touted as being great for video editing and photo editing, it is great for photo editng, plenty powerful and color accurate, however, video editing comes with a catch, it does everything well as long as is doesn't require 3d from a gpu such as noise reduction, in that case a proper dedicated gpu puts it to shame, a clip that takes 20 mins on a desktop 4090 will take 3-5 hours on this mac. Overall, as long as you have a desktop pc to fill the gaps of heavy duty video editing and gaming, this laptop is the perfect laptop for you honestly, even as someone who hated macos before I bought this. If this is going to be your only computer, just know that you will be severely lacking in said areas.

My husband ordered this off of my Amazon account on Mother’s Day. He seems to love it and according to him, he really needed it for work. He says it was great value for our money, because of the price but also because he thinks he can make us rich one day. It looks like a nice laptop. I hope he enjoys it. He has had no complaints about it.

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2024
As a wedding videographer who films in 4K, I need a laptop that can handle heavy editing, and this Mac does the job perfectly. There are no lags at all. Coming from a PC, I was hesitant at first, but the Mac really delivers in terms of speed and power. Plus, the display is fantastic for color grading, making my editing process much smoother and more efficient.

5.0 out of 5 stars BLOWN SPEAKERS but otherwise great
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023
The media could not be loaded.
 SOUND UP! I was writing a glowing review last night at how amazing is my new MacBook Pro M3 Pro (18gb/512gb/11 cores) and thought I'd better add a comment on the sound quality. Well, I checked the sound on Apple Music, and my speakers are blown on arrival :(

Just received the laptop yesterday, and it arrived in an ice cold state via UPS (I am in a moderate climate but we had a cold front this week with freeze warnings). I am guessing delivery loaded it the night before and left it out in the freezing 29 degree temps overnight. But I let it warm to room temp and put it on the charger for awhile before firing it up. The battery history showed it had dipped from the 100% charged at the factory down to 57% for the less than one day that it travelled in shipping. I was not overly alarmed by this until I checked the sound. At modest sound levels the entire midrange is blown out, which range I was able to narrow down with the Music app's equalizer. Probably it was the cold exposure but it could have been otherwise mishandled.

To verify that it was not operator error despite my ownership of a crazy number of Macs going back to 1989, I googled this speaker crackling and distortion issue on MacBook Pros. Well, apparently this is a frequent issue and I learned three things:

1. Well, number 1 I already knew, you really have to break in any speaker at midlevel volume for a day or two before blasting to warm up the speaker and avoid damage, it still should not be a distorted crackling mess though at medium volume, but I did let it play music for several hours to warm up the speakers hoping for improvement.

2. MacBook speakers are very fragile, so even if you have great sound, you could lose it in the future if you are not very careful in handling the laptop to avoid bumping the laptop around, even in a case. The speakers tear easily and there are YouTube videos on how to glue them back together if your Mac is no longer under warranty.

And 3. The MacBook Pro M3 Pro with 11 cores has actually LESS PERFORMANCE CORES than the M2 and M1 versions that only have 10 total cores. Because Apple increased the EFFICIENCY CORES not the performance cores in these lower end M3 Pro models. So an M1 Pro with 10 cores has 8 performance cores and two efficiency, the M2 Pro with 10 cores has 6 performance cores with 4 efficiency, and the M3 Pro 11 core has ONLY 5 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores. Also the M3's music volume is measurably lower than in the M2 according to YouTubers. Generally this is fine, but it is NOT FINE FOR MUSIC MAKING when combining tracks, even when using Apple's DAW for mixing tracks because most utilize performance cores not efficiency cores. I am not making complex music though, just listening to Adell on Apple Music, and it sounds terrible. So I will attempt to swap out this Mac but if it is similarly tossed around at delivery or in the Amazon Warehouse, or left out in the cold overnight, this could happen again. BUMMER and a waste!

Aside from the painful sounds, there were two operating issues also: I can't "SHARE" to email or messages in Safari, those options are blanked out in System Settings, which is a glitch I hope. And Apple's "Stocks" app crashed running in the background, even though no third party apps were also running, or even loaded up yet. Still this is an amazing laptop that is a vast improvement in power and speed over both of my M1's - iMac (16gb) and iPad Air 5th gen. But I recommend skipping any "Pro" version that is less than 18gb RAM or 512gb SSD. Why bother? Just get a MacBook Air M2! The Space Black color of the M3 Pro is a welcome change from the silver versions I've been staring at for 2 decades, but I wish Midnight (dark blue) was an option on these.

I also recommend the Apple HomePod Minis, which are not bluetooth so you can't easily use them with just anything, but they connect via Airplay to Macs and also to Amazon Music's App, which is not available on the laptop OS but is an iOS app. I haven't tested whether you can run airplay through Amazon Music on a web browser. Just one of these tiny speakers sounds far and away better than the laptop speakers combined, and also better than Alexa device offerings for home speakers. Another thing I recommend is to use the Apple Music app's equalizer settings and adjust them for each song. Most songs sound great in "Lounge" or "R&B" as a starting point, and the music will be both louder and cleaner on your MacBook. The app's separate settings menu also allows you to add sound enhancement generally that greatly improves quality and volume.
