MacBook Pro M3 Pro After 1 Week: NOT What It Seems!

Diving into my first week with the base model 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro.
ALL MY FAVORITE GEAR IS LISTED BELOW 👇
I bought the new Space Black MacBook Pro as soon as it was announced, and I didn't know what to expect given the M2 Pro MacBook came out less than a year ago. In this video, I dive into my first week with the M3 MacBook Pro, this is the base model with the 512GB SSD, 18GB of RAM - let's see how it does!

Hello Kyle. I have used Windows for as long as I can remember. I am 51 years old, very recently disabled overnight, literally, so I turned to video production, but my Samsung Book crashed yesterday and after doing some research, it came clear to me, Apple MacBook was the way forward for my new life at home. I don't have much money, so I purchased my first ever Apple computer: Apple MacBook M3 Pro 16inch. I will be purchasing Cubase 13 Pro later today after my MacBook is delivered. I only had the Space Black colour to choose from. I will be watching more of your videos as I do not know what I am doing. Thank you for your video.

I’m still using a MacBook Pro from 2012, good old heavy thing. But now I looking to upgrade, i want to use it for video and photography editing, not on a daily basis but more like the holiday movies and things like that. Which model do you recommended? Is a MacBook Air M2 good enough or do you recommend a MacBook Pro?

[@HealthPKW]

Awesome review! I appreciated that you focused on real life usage and day to day performance instead of relying on benchmark numbers like most other tech reviewers do. im not buying it for benchmark numbers(i guess i am indirectly …) however im more concerned for how it performs and I think you did a great job portraying that. In retrospect, do you think you should have upgraded the RAM to 36gb or has 18gb been smooth sailing for you?

[@KyleErickson]

18 has been fine! The only time I've hit substantial memory swap or approached a limit was heavy resources effects and plugins editing video

[@arlencarlson]

Couldn’t help but notice in one of your video clips that your speed test was based on a server in Dartmouth, NS-are you located there? If so, cool! I grew up there. Presently in Ottawa. Liked your review. I am sticking with my 16” M1 Pro based machine for now.

[@darrenlarson5325]

Great video, thank you! I would love to see the difference between 18 and 36 GB of RAM in the same (or similar) machine. Will be buying for Black Friday and am having a hard time deciding, and nobody is doing this test. Thanks a lot.

[@n.r.c.w]

Maybe one of ArtIsRight's videos will help you. He tests loads of workflows to see what difference RAM makes. It made me go for the 36 GB option over the stock 18 GB.

[@pieflies]

Probably depends what you want to do with it but if you plan to keep it a long time the 36 is probably not a bad idea anyway. 18 is probably fine for basic usage but if you only need basic usage you probably don’t need the pro version to begin with. For my usage I wouldn’t even consider getting 18gb.

[@Chip_Ryan571]

I've said this before : I Love the background Can you do a short presentation of your office Thanks again for all of your great work

[@atmobeat]

I have waited for the M3 PRO mainly because I was so confident the new 3nm (instead of 5nm) technology would push the performance drastically... but then I saw benchmark comparisons with M1 and M2, learnt about the decrease of memory bandwith from 200 to 150 GB/s and realised the shift to more efficiency cores at the expense of performance cores. My consequence: I gave up my M3 PRO idea and bought an *M2 PRO* refurbished instead, saving approx. a quarter(!) of the price.- Things may look different for people choosing the M3 MAX which seems to be a real killer - but that is way too expensive for me, and I don't need the GPU power.

[@MultiPcExpertGhost]

But it has a slow SSD...

[@atmobeat]

@@MultiPcExpertGhost Hmmm... is an SSD from *early* 2023 really significantly slower than an SSD from *late* 2023? It may be possible, but it would surprise me.

Wondering how this would work installing windows 11 with parallels on this 512 ssd model. I had the 13” M1 MBP 16/1tb version before. Didn’t have any problems gaming with windows 11. Like the space black color.

[@jseden]

I’ve got this model, but only because I found a great deal on an unwanted Xmas gift.. paid 1600. I’ve had an m2 air for the past 6 months and the 8gigs of ram just wasn’t really cutting it. Figured that if I was gonna upgrade, I might as well do it sooner than later to get as much as I can out of the air. I also very much appreciate the better display.. beyond that, it’s mostly the same experience. Apps load a bit quicker and more ports are nice.. but mostly I went ahead and got it for the sake of future proofing. Realistically, I would have been swapping out the air within a year or two anyway, but I feel like I’ll be set with the m3pro for at least the next 3-4.

I had all my friends recommend M3 Max versus the Windows HP Zbook G8...whats your thoughts? I should say that I do a lot of video editing so I need something that can handle Adobe software.

[@pauljazzman408]

Good video. Yes maybe Geekbench etc don't show how good the M3 pro is in real world use. Some KZbinrs have shown it's often a function of how much ram you have and how much you are prepared to pay to just shave a few seconds of export times. the M3 max is a beast but an expensive one. I upgraded from a 2019 i7 MBP 16" to a M3 pro MBP 18/512 space black (cool) and it is a hell of a lot faster, cooler (the fans never kick in). The battery last over a day for me whereas my old intel MBP need juice after a few hours it seemed. So that's what the M3 pro is designed to do, I think: get me to upgrade. Ok M2 pro would have been cheaper but it's not space black nor would it last as long fractionally in use life.

Seriously, just get a Windows laptop with a 4000 series RTX card in it. I do rendering for a living and MBPs have never even come close to being good enough for 3D work. I have an RTX 3080 in my laptop, I also have an M3 Max MBP. The windows laptop is from 2021 and the difference is still night and day. MBPs just don't come close to the performance of Windows laptops in the same price range and in fact, you can get better Windows laptops than mine and still pay less than an M3 Max MBP. GPU intensive tasks like 3D modelling, rendering and games development just aren't worth buying Apple devices for. If the Macs were half the price they are today then sure, but don't waste your money. Not to mention, RAM and SSD space is important in 3D work too, and Apple charges >700% markup on RAM and SSDs. Seriously, it's absolutely scandalous. My laptop has 4TBs of NVMe SSD storage, and 64GB of RAM and it's STILL cheaper than my M3 Max MBP. Don't waste your money just because MacOS is pretty, it's not worth it.

[@Mehwhatevr]

I like the space black. it's not so black that it stops looking premium, but it's still black. While it looks premium, it's also more subtle/understated than the silver. it doesn't have the contrast with silver chassis and the black keys and black bezels. It might look like any black windows laptop, but a premium like the XPS rather than a plastic one like the Inspiron. I prefer that. The Apple logo doesn't exactly pop either. I know some people see Macs as a status symbol, so they want everyone to know that they have one. Not me.

[@Mehwhatevr]

Also, I upgrade to the Base M3Pro. I had the Base M1 before. I've been needing more RAM for 2 years now. I looked at refurb models, and I looked at upgrading the M3 Base to an M3 with 16GB. But at that point I said I might as well just pay a bit more and get the M3 Pro with more efficiency cores, 18GB of RAM, and the nice Space Black color.

I'm looking to upgrade from an 2018 Dell i7 8GB - to this exact spec machine you have. As im looking to use Blender a little - how did you find it performed whilst using? p.s My usage will be more learning Blender 3D than paid work right now.

9:42 had no idea your from Dartmouth!

[@AG-uf2dj]

what app did you use to see the battery life and amount of hours left?

[@JohnSmith-pn2vl]

raw single core power is the most important part of any machine

[@oleg1981]

Thinking to get one now. M3 pro. Coming from Intel MBP late 2019 4 cores i5. Will it be big bump? I am QA software engineer

[@RobTaylor1966]

Looking to buy a MacBook Pro m3 machine I currently have a late 2013 iMac I want to be able to run 4k footage from a iPhone and a GoPro hero 8 I want to be able to do heavy video editing what would you suggest for a machine! I would like to stay with the m3 max chip! I primarily will be using this machine at home so I am leaning to the 16". What's your recommendation for ram? my thoughts were 64gig with a 1TB ssd internal drive? will this machine be the powerhouse that I expect coming from an intel machine?

[@user-rv6zz6fe6r]

please do 3d modeling and rendering tests

[@rodrigomalutta]

My only concern is the RAM. Not sure if 18GB is enough for me. My intention is to use it with 2 4k monitors in Lightroom and FCP

[@DarthMuse]

Get it with 36GB option.

[@jonnanieminen8848]

I would say 36 GB. I currently have M1 Pro with 16 GB and I do video editing as well as Lightroom. I'm basically hobbyist. 16 GB isn't enough if you have Lightroom and Chrome with 30 tabs open + video editing of course

[@UrgentSnooker]

Definitely take 38 gb. 16/18 gb has been standard for way too long, so in 3-5 years it will be insufficient. I guess you don't want to see this beast of the machine chuckling only of insufficient ram in 3-5 years

[@mindethereal6627]

@@UrgentSnooker If it were me, I'd choose to replace the machine in 3 years rather than replace the M3 now

[@trezegol2007]

36GB is the better option, but for the SDD is 512 sufficient , is 1TB a must if one is supposed to be doing lots of video/photo editing in LR . In the case one is using an external SDD drive is an upgrade to 1TB really necessary?

[@CurtisWarnasch]

I have a 16” i9 and the battery is failing. I am a daily Vlogger and need a new machine. Would recommend the 14” Mac book pro m3 pro ?

[@iKIMshuffle]

I already had the m2 pro but I wanted the black so, I returned it and ordered the black 😂

[@Georgiaboy_]

Man I love this review ! Finally a real world review of the M3 Pro without all the hype just judging it from numbers on a page Sounds like a wonderful machine and I can’t wait to get it (unless these other KZbinrs convince me to get a m3 max I don’t need)

[@thatdelta]

its been 3 days right

Maybe you can you make a video about CMF by nothing product.

[@garanceadrosehn9691]

From what I've heard from networking guys, WiFi 7 isn' officially ratified yet. Yes, I know you can buy "WiFi 7" devices, but technically it isn't a finalized standard yet. (unless it was ratified in the last week or two).

[@ohmyv3gatron]

Switching from m2 air to 16in pro. I’ve been dying for a larger screen again so this is on time. Then we don’t have to spend money getting my niece a new computer…..

[@tevindowney]

im getting 14 pro soon, coming from m1 air. one reason i wanna switch is the pro motion / high refresh rate stuff available on the pros, and not the airs. just played with it in a store and seemed like a massive difference. excited to use

[@CrystalGreen44]

Never had a Mac book. I have iPad Pro I been using for art and writing but I don’t know which to get. Is this new one good for writing and dabble in arts? Mostly I would be using it fir writing

[@ArtyCat]

Far too much of a tech upgrade n expense just for writing! This machine is ideal for heavy duty pro applications like video editing or 3D animation, so you’re fine to buy any other MacBook really. If you might do heavy work on photoshop for drawing then maybe get a refurbished M1

[@AndroidProUser]

I'm still on an intel mac (2018). When Apple stops updating the OS, likely the latest is the last, i'll update to an M series macbook.

[@zorbzod6475]

My iMac Pro still fills all my needs effortlessly, with fan so quiet I never hear it. I'll probably keep using it even when I can't upgrade.

[@AndroidProUser]

@@zorbzod6475 for me its important to be on the latest OS version. I enjoy the features that Apple implements. Dont want to be left behind in that regard. Of course, the computer is more than capable of doing every task i do likely for some years to come.

is 3 energy cycles bad for a week of use?
