The MacBook Pro has become even more powerful with the addition of the new M3 chip and it gives you a lasting performance that you are unlikely to forget anytime soon. The 14-inch MacBook comes with two USB 4/Thunderbolt ports and the entry-level M3 chip, but you can get three ports when you buy a MacBook Pro that has the M3 Max or M3 Pro chip. The latest one comes with the same design as those that had been launched earlier this year and is downright gorgeous, especially due to the black color.
The screen
The display remains unchanged, as it is a Liquid Retina XDR display that boasts a 3024 x 1964 resolution and a dynamic refresh rate of about 120Hz. To put it simply, the screen is a great one and its brightness has been kicked up a notch this time around, which definitely makes a difference.
The touchpad and keyboard
The touchpad that you will find on all MacBooks is downright exceptional. Those who are using a Windows device will have no idea what they are missing out on because this touchpad is responsive, precise and very comfortable to use. As for the keyboard, it is backlit, has the best stroke length and comes equipped with a fingerprint reader.
The specs
When it comes to the operating system, the Mac OS Sonoma is great and comes with various fun features. The M3-equipped MacBook does offer one unique feature, which is the ability to decide when to run normally, or when to throttle back performance for conserving battery power.
The new processor that Apple has introduced is the world’s first one to use a 3-nanometre process. This is important because it means it is faster, generates less heat and consumes less energy. This means that even when you are using the computer to do heavy work, it will not get hot.
Apple has also made changes to the number of cores in the M3 Pro chip, as it comes with six performance cores and six efficiency cores. It is not surprising that the M3 Max is super-fast.
The battery life
One of the most remarkable features that you will find in the Apple MacBook Pro 14 is that it is fast, whether you have plugged it in or otherwise. You will definitely find faster Windows laptops and the latest graphics card from Nvidia. However, their battery life is significantly less. The MacBook Pro 14 is very sleek and it weighs only 1.6kg. Its battery life is outstanding because it can function for as long as 18 hours and you will be able to run heavy applications on it without any issues.
The Verdict
When Apple decided to leave Apple behind, it certainly made a good decision because its third generation of processors is extremely fast and delivers an improved graphics performance, while also maintaining energy efficiency. If you are also into looks, you will have no problem with the MacBook Pro 14 because it is one of the most beautiful devices you will ever see.
