A ‘price to performance’ MacBook Pro would be unheard of given how expensive these machines are, but Amazon has made an exception for customers who want to pick up the 14.2-inch version of Apple’s latest and greatest lineup. Assuming you cannot wait for the M4 versions that are slated to arrive later this year, we have the next best thing for you; picking up an upgraded M3 Pro MacBook Pro that is now available for $300 less, taking the price down to $1,699.
We will get to the specifications in a bit, but in a nutshell, the hardware that you are getting in return for what you have to pay for is worth every penny. The 14.2-inch mini-LED supports ProMotion technology, supporting up to a 120Hz refresh rate and touting incredible color accuracy and gamut for creative professionals or those who want to binge-watch HDR content. The M3 Pro features a CPU with an 11-core configuration and a GPU with 14 cores. The unified RAM count stands at 18GB, and you get 512GB of NVMe storage too.
The M3 Pro also supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, making the Apple Silicon capable enough to run AAA titles, which are available on the Mac App Store. Of course, you do not just purchase a MacBook Pro for the performance; you also invest in it for that legendary battery life, and this portable powerhouse has plenty of endurance to last for almost an entire day. On a full charge, M3 Pro’s efficiency allows the machine to run up to 18 hours. This means you can take this with you to your favorite coffee spot or workplace and not worry about it powering down due to low battery.
The ports selection is also versatile, with the MagSafe charging port and a couple of Thunderbolt 4 ports giving you sufficient throughput for when you need it. Last but certainly not least, the all-aluminum chassis makes this M3 Pro MacBook Pro sturdy as a rock, with precisely tuned hinges intended to make the machine for as long as possible. All of these factors, and more, are one reason why the $1,699 is more than justified.
