    This MacBook Pro has lived up to my expectations in every way. It's a reliable machine that handles all my daily tasks, like social media, paying bills, and general browsing, effortlessly. What really impresses me is how well it performs when I push it harder. Whether it's managing my homework or tackling complex coding projects, the MacBook Pro doesn't miss a beat. The performance is smooth, the battery life is solid, and the build quality is top-notch—everything you'd expect from Apple. If you're looking for a dependable laptop that balances everyday use with more demanding workloads, I highly recommend the MacBook Pro. It's worth the investment!

    This machine is extremely powerful, the processing core is like no other. I edit music tracks and run my programs with zero delays. I pair it with an apple tracpad and my AirPods and I have a professional level home studio. I publish my songs mi Amor to Apple Music and the quality of all my instruments is crisp.

    One of the best deals on a brand new release! I'll use this machine for software development and light machine learning projects. I prefer the 14" over the 16" because I'm looking for a laptop and not a desktop replacement since I have a gaming PC. So far I think I made the right decision!

    Amazing laptop that needs the software to catch up

    Great laptop, speed, display, battery are all excellent. I bought this max to be part of my mobile kit for work, so far it's been amazing, but the operating system and apple ecco system can be limiting. One serious note that I wasn't expecting, despite all the positive reviews - you can hear these fans when pushing the system, and it's been a little surprising when it happens. A lot of that comes down to optimization on the software side, but it still caught me off guard. I highly recommend this laptop for professional use, just know that the price of being first into a new generation of tech is that not everything will translate or work as expected until it catches up.

    Excellent quality for an open box and FASTEST MacBook Pro that i have had to date. I traded my old -which wasn’t old - for this bad boy, it was a 16 gb m2 13 inch so i for sure upgraded and hope to have this beaut for a few years to come. I say a few years because its apple we are talking about and things become old after the next release,,, Oh and the black is literally gorgeous i had space grey before this and many are saying its a darker space grey and I disagree its a black beauty and I’m in love. I also took the plunge and about a studio display open box, also in love, get the regular glass nano is a waste unless you are going to compute outside, the regular glass’s resolution is pristine nano will not give its full potential, also get a computer riser before spending 500 more for the height adjust, silly. That is all folks!!!!

    I recently purchased the Apple MacBook Pro 14" with the M3 Max chip, 36GB Memory, 30-core GPU, and 1TB SSD in Space Black. This laptop has exceeded my expectations in every way. The performance is outstanding, with lightning-fast processing speeds that handle all my tasks seamlessly. The display is crisp and vibrant, making it a joy to work on. The build quality is exceptional, as expected from Apple. Battery life is impressive, lasting through a full day of intensive use. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and reliable laptop.

    Battery life: Surface Laptop Studio 2 v. MacBook

    I love this laptop so far! It's incredibly fast and can handle any task I throw at it. I switched to this laptop from the surface studio 2 after hearing of its amazing battery life and I couldn't be more pleased. The surface studio 2 was an amazing device but unfortunately its lack of sufficient battery life constantly strained its performance. I could barely get 6 to 8 hours of battery life while only running simple programs like chrome or word (It should be noted that this was my experience with the 4050 variant). It was this issue that incentivized me to try the Mac to see if I preferred it. This laptop now lasts me an entire day without charging while in college and then some! I can typically expect to get 20 hours of battery life running multiple small programs in the background, and it BARELY throttles performance, unlike most windows competitors. Further, the integration with my iPhone is truly amazing. If you're looking for a quick and striking laptop, this one might be the one for you.

    Look, apple products are way overpriced. If you’re price sensitive, there are far less expensive products you can buy and tweak to get a similar user experience. But if 3k isn’t a big deal to you, this computer rocks. Fastest computer I’ve ever used. Less than 20 seconds from the time I open the lid to the computer turned on with over 10 apps loaded on startup, including the time it takes me to type in my login password. I haven’t seen a spinning pinwheel no matter how many programs I’m running simultaneously. The max chip and 36gb of ram is definitely overkill but for me it’s totally worth the hassle-free experience. It’s a true desktop replacement (once plugged into a monitor) that’s also portable.

    First upgrade since my 2016 MBP. This thing is a beast! Best Buy made it super easy to purchase. Apple continues to impress me with its lineup. I did not experience the heat issues mentioned by others. I also did not notice extra fan noise, but maybe I’m just used to it.

    Incredible laptop, overkill for most people including myself. But it you hate closing out of programs, this is a multitasking beast. Doesn’t skip a beat. Is it overpriced? Probably, but you can’t beat Apples performance, efficiency, and resale value. I love it.

    I’m a swe for ML and full stack super happy with it . It’s just fast , everything compiles quick , emulators run like butter , and ML model building is very fast, not RTX 4090 fast but for what I’m doing I probably wouldn’t tell the difference . Maybe when dealing with very large data sets but I’m not . God speed

    I bought an Apple M3 chip laptop with 36 RAM. It works pretty well! It is significantly faster than the M1. What impressed me was the sound of the speakers, which was so good, like a home theater. I was not impressed by anything else because I have been using Apple products for eight years. I am also used to Apple's system, so it is not bad so far. For some users who do not need such high configuration requirements, it is okay to buy a cheaper one. This is my personal recommendation.

    Really, just getting started with this, but so far I’m loving it. Great speed and battery life. The display is a nice upgrade from my old Samsung. I might upgrade my rating to 5-star, but too soon yet.
