Apple has unveiled new M3 MacBook Pro models that usher the next-gen of Apple Silicon both in terms of performance and features. The upgraded chip features an improved CPU and GPU with upgrades to the Neural Engine and new device colorways. The cheapest MacBook Pro powered by the base M3 processor is now more affordable than the last generation at just $1,599, as opposed to the older $1,999 introductory price tag. Other than this, the company has also unveiled the more powerful M3 Pro and M3 Max chips.
The mid-range M3 Pro is 40% faster than the last-gen, and the cranked-up M3 Max is a whopping 250% faster than the M2 Max. The new processors feature much more powerful GPUs, which has been a major talking point of the new M3 family. They support mesh shading and ray tracing, making the devices ideal for professionals who work with advanced graphics and machine learning.
All these advancements come at no extra cost to efficiency or battery life. The M3 MacBooks deliver 22 hours of usage on a full charge, which matches the numbers the last-gen M2 devices were capable of. Let's review the finer details of the three new laptops introduced today.
