M3 Pro 14 Inch MacBook Pro - Unboxing, Comparison and First Look

[@hardikkalia8744]

While I see MKBHD for the gigs, editing and nice looking stuff - i always come back to Aaron for actually "understanding" in simple plain words!

[@carolinelvsewe]

I cannot tell you how much I ✨APPRECIATE✨ Doing this more simple unboxing, ports, and bench marks! Thank you.

[@zollotech]

Glad it was helpful!

BTW, iOS 17.1.1 released just now also. Will have a video about that later too...

Ok. Thank you 😊

[@ScreenProtectPH]

I need to update. My videos are not playing via the Photos app.

[@markcamm5330]

Really, for real world use I'm not seeing anything that would compel me to upgrade my M1 MCP to the M3. I'm using the new M3 wallpaper, so that's my upgrade done 😁!

[@duncanboyf4175]

Aye. Agreed

[@HeyCayden]

I was thinking the same thing... Thank you for speaking up

[@thinfeathers]

Good for you, but no one cares

[@kos3vil]

Let’s just all admit that the only reason for upgrading to M3 Pro is for the space black color.

[@fossjonc]

Thanks for doing this review, the M3 Pro was the one I was most interested in due to pricing and was hard to find specs tests on it - thanks again! :)

[@arjungarawal2793]

Your reviews are the best of the best. Always so thorough and I was waiting for this one. Got the notification for it 🙌🏽

[@nycyg]

i’m most likely getting this for college as an incoming computer science student. i hope it’s worth it

[@gamerrfy]

This is a very, very nice laptop because I can play on it and also watch content and study on it, but the problem is that it is very expensive, unfortunately.

[@AmazingTonyYT]

I don’t need this Mac but I want it for the aesthetics 😭

[@blakecotten3]

Apple truly does know exactly what they're doing.

[@ValentinaTheCreator]

This is exactly the MacBook M3 Pro I want, except with just 1tb compared to your 4tb. Excited to edit my 4K-6K footage from Blackmagic Cinema 6K Full Frame documentary!

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

nice review Aaron thanks! Space black? It looks just like a dark gray IMO with all the hype and expensive prices. I want them to bring back the old all black macbooks from before.

[@ersuritah]

Definitely need to see gaming tests! Maybe run the classic LoL, cs:go or WoW

Definitely gonna upgrade from my intel based MacBook Pro 2019 to the M3 Pro MacBook Pro! Great detailed description Aaron!

[@dragon11741]

I’ve got an intel 2018 MacBook Pro and I just bought a M3 Pro MacBook Pro! Gets here in 2 days and I’m honestly excited

[@elvst3331]

I’m doing the same. Are you trading the old Mac intel with Apple or selling on?

Thank you the content. Could you do a comparision between the M3 Pro and M2 Pro 14 or 16 inch

[@hongkongfoamflinging]

Great Video

[@ERMYAESHGH]

‏hello👋🏻 ‏Do you think 16 inches is good for video editing or is 14 inches enough?

[@zollotech]

Either is fine, just comes down to personal preference

[@complextheory9529]

I bought my m3 for school, my development classes required it. Looking forward to my first mbp!

[@LordBagdanoff]

How's your battery life on the M3 pro? Does the higher Cpu and Ram drain the battery more?

[@m2betterthanyou362]

Im considering buying the 2020 ipad pro 11, is that a good buy ?

[@daledevernon56]

15-in MacBook Air 512 model is now more or less the same as the 14 inch M3 base model especially in price, would be nice to see a comparison.

[@tayjn]

Seeing the “Space Black” vs the actual black anodisation of the keyboard well is so disappointing. It really is just Space Grayer Silver remains the best colour option imo

[@yousefalfadhli1273]

[@Arsenal64]

Is the base model M3 Mackbook 14" good enough for 4K video editing? Might consider the 16gb ram Is the base model. The pricing is just insane in Canada.

[@Sandia49]

The base M1 chip was already pretty good for 4k video editing (even on 8gb version in some cases), so yeah the M3 will be pretty good as long as you aren’t trying to edit RED RAW footage or something.

[@GanesanSridhar]

The price are same both In us and canada Base 14inch macbook pro In us 1599 American dollar 2099 Canadian dollar both are same 1 American $= 1.36 Canadian dollar 1599 American $= 2176 Canadian dollar So it's Actually 77 Canadian dollar cheaper The macbook pro is cheaper than the us united states Ok

Why does PiP work for this video specifically?

[@zackwallwork2419]

I’d like to see a test to see if the fancy new gpu’s can run inventor properly through parallels so I can finally upgrade from my 2018 mbp

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

I agree, I have HP 360 and it is completely black. It has also no fingerprints. Regarding performance, certainly M3 is faster than M1, but no so dramatic to upgrade for many people.

[@techpro985]

You gonna do the new iMac?

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

itll be much more expensive since itll be new chip, thus imo not so worth to buy

[@alanhuang8165]

In the "Classroom" render test with Blender seting,you chose the "CPU"mode but not the "GPU" mode.

[@lipovioodagriculturalcompa470]

Hello I am very interested in the M3 Pro Is there a problem with heating when processing video due to the fact that it has a single cooling fan unlike the MacBook Pro M2. I saw in the video that the MacBook Pro M1 has a higher GPU benchmark score, this makes me think which is better m2 pro one terabyte ssd or m3 pro 512 ssd. 2023 с Apple M3 Pro Chip с 11-core CPU и 14-core GPU, 18GB RAM, 512GB SSD vs 2023 с Apple M2 Pro Chip c 12-Core CPU и 19-Core GPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD

Hey Aaron, since you're on the latest iOS and MacOS versions which support Passkeys, while you were logging into your icloud account, did it give you an option to sign in using a Passkey? I just wanted to see if Apple is really pushing to get rid of passwords. Also, I'd be interested in seeing a gaming performance video. Thanks Aaron!

It didn't during the setup

I don't know why Apple would do that, but it would be a good feature for some. Though I block my camera most of the time so it would not be something I would need. The FP sensor is great but mostly my watch unlocks my Macs.

Please try some Mac games as well such as Tomb Raider, Baldur's Gate 3 or Resident Evil Village

[@OneBlackButton]

The thought I have is about the keys themselves getting soiled with finger oils. I also heard that Apple will request you to send the laptop into them for repair of the keyboard at least on past models with sticky keys and dead response. Apple seems broken with the basic necessities like smooth buttery typing experiences all the time but this is my experiences on the m1 iPad Pro as I have not purchased this MacBook Pro variant. Oils develop on a non-olephobic Magic Keyboard quickly. I am also constantly brushing away debris all the time and you definitely need a microfiber cloth.

[@samackin6032]

I was at an Apple store today to pick up my M3 macbook pro and while waiting, I saw the display models and, yeah, they had finger smudges. Oh, well. And no surprise, the Apple specialists had rags hanging from their pants pockets for, I guess, to wipe the smudges.

[@kevinweyrauch4875]

What is the lifespan for a $4000 laptop?

[@zollotech]

For a company it is 3 years typically, but Apple Supports them 5-7 years and years after that sometimes with security updates. They seems to last a very long time. In fact I don't have one that has ever failed.

[@andyH_England]

My MB Pro 15 i7 is in its 8th year and still works great. It stopped getting Mac updates last year but that doesn't stop the machine from working. In fact, I still have my first MB Pro which is 14 years old. They have been very reliable.

[@saha19]

FYI the description needs updating, mentions this is the M2 Max!

[@zollotech]

I fixed it, thank you

[@lol-vw6lq]

Everything is superb except one thing most of companies trying to implement technologies to protect eyes with flicker free technologies but Apple actually doesnt mention anything at all. This display apparently has strong PWM which isnt really good at all.

[@zollotech]

That display does not have strong PWM at all. It has no flicker.

I can understand reviewers and professionals buying it but the regular joe or joan I would be embarrassed to spend that much money for what is basically an overpowered internet device that still only has 8gb of ram.

[@zollotech]

They go up to 128GB of RAM. Not just an internet device. I edit every video I make on Mac and thumbnails, business and more. They do everything Windows does, but better except gaming of course.

[@TheDanEdwards]

" but the regular joe or joan I would be embarrassed to spend that ... that still only has 8gb of ram." - A regular "joe" or "joan" would not care about "8gb".

[@InimitaPaul]

I’d be plenty pi**ed if I’d spent that kind of money on Space Black just to get grey, I was actually considering getting the Pro version just for the black but no chance now I’ll probably swerve this and wait for the M3 Air as it will be quite a few years before decent gaming is worth buying a MBP for. Actually, I might wait and see what happens with Qualcomm’s Oryon chip in laptops, looks in most cases equal to Apple silicon in some cases better than. Apple’s chip reign didn’t last long.

So disappointed to see light space black is. An interesting marketing tactic to get people interested in the M3 Macbook Pro. I would have preferred to see midnight instead like we got on the Macbook Airs.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

i see that they want to make people spend their hard earned savings to buy certain product, hopefully whats shown are good ones

i can only keep advising to read reviews, read reviews and read reviews, pick one you think is better, for your ears

[@LordAlucar01]

i did some math and research and im 99% since i will buy base m3 macbook pro 14.2 to replace my m1 imac 24 inch with 16gb ram upg, while it works fine and i will lose big display size everything else is an upgrade especially considering the new pro can be as good as previous max chips idk if it is for base models but it should be performance burst, and considering apple releases each year new macs there is no point in waiting long terms(m3 pro(2500$) is half price of m3 max(5000$) in my area also m3 pro is same price as m3(2000$ upg model 2500%) so no difference) this time i will try base model and if i dislike something ill upg it again at m4 pro depending if i need extra size of better processor so far it should be an upgrade by atleast twice the performance and tehnology far better and if i really want a good displey i can allways get xdr apple display with 32 inch of size, right now imac gives me headache with how annoying it looks with white basels and light colour and also with spec out imac i stil struggle daily i managed to crash it even by running games, hopefully macbook pro does not dissapoint because the hype on macbooks pro is too high. even if it does dissapoint i entented to get macbook pro next time since i regret buying imac instead of macbook pro when i had the chance.

[@Progamer8012]

So you’re telling me the m3 pro is just 400 points faster in multi core than the M1 Max? Apple is seriously messing up

[@zollotech]

That’s pretty impressive giving that it is a mid tier chip competing against their top-of-the-line just two years ago. It’s also much faster than other way.

[@Progamer8012]

im referring to cpu performance. you're forgetting that the M1 Max is the same as the M1 Pro CPU, the difference between them was their GPU core count@@zollotech CPU wise its very disappointing that its really not a significant improvement from a 2021 chip. That's why apple still compared the M3 pro to the M1 to make it seem like it's significant. They should've kept the same amount of performance cores on the m3 pro instead of taking 2 away otherwise it would've been a great upgrade. Guess ill have to wait for the M4 pro

​@@Progamer8012the M3 Max is CPU multi score is significantly faster than a m1 Max. Let's compare apples to apples here.
