14″ M3 Pro MacBook Pro & 16″ M3 Max MacBook Pro Review



Apple’s 2023 M3 MacBook Pro models come in a somewhat confusing array of configs and the usual 2 sizes. We look at the middle configurations that many folks are actually considering rather than the highest and lowest end models available. In this review we cover the 14” MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro (12 core CPU / 18 core GPU) and the 16” MacBook Pro with an M3 Max (14 core CPU / 30 core GPU). These are retail configurations rather than BTO and can be found in stores for $2,399 and $3,499 respectively. We compare benchmarks and real world 2D/3D performance between these two models and with the 16” M1 MacBook Pro M1 Max (10 core CPU / 30 core GPU).

    I just began to use the touch bar from time to time after several years. Is it gone forever now?

    For 95% of the people out there…the m1 MacBook Air for $750 is the way to go…..fanless and fast and light…great battery life….save your money 💰

    It's so refreshing to see a review without all the hype and actually focussing on what matters, thanks for that! I'm still holding out between a pro and max chip for a development machine until I get a bit more info between battery and performance between the two

    Want to know what good looks like? I bought a 2015 Intel Macbook Pro 15 inch – hammered it for 5+ years. I then sold it for 500 and bought an M1 Mac Mini 3 years ago for 550. Will upgrade in 2025. Don't be fooled by the Apple Lizard king and all his Youtube 'affiliates.

    It’s Not a Bad Configuration People.
    Just Drop another $200 for the
    RAM like it’s Not your Money. 😅

    Great review Lisa! Many YT channels are obsessed with the M3 Max. You are showing how powerful the M3 Pro already is. However, there is one thing that is really limiting for thr M3 Pro model: the max RAM of 36GB. I dont understand why Apple is not offering a 64GB model. Well, of course they want to drive peps towards the MAX. Which sucks as a M3 Pro with 64GB would probably be more than enough for most use cases. In my case – music production with large sample libraries – 36GB unfortunately is not enough. It is a pity that upgrading the RAM is only possible by buying an overkill CPU.

    Hey there my girl Lisa how you doing it's been awhile I'm glad to see you again this was a beautiful review of the Apple MacBook yes

  19. Gerard Veenstra

    Thank you for picking and testing the sensible configs. I was really waiting for some M3 Max 14/30 review.

    So glad that Apple showed off Houdini in the M3 presentation. I do a lot of 3D rendering in Houdini, and while faster render time is convenient, the performance while working or simulating physics is necessary. Looking to upgrade 😀
