This is my fourth MacBook Pro and I have used the heck out of all of them. In fact I still use all of them going back decades. They work fine, the only limitation is that the OS cannot be updated enough to be used with modern programs. In fact I have one I have kept in Snow Leopard to be able to use Final Cut Pro7 with the wonderful options it had. Solid machines all. Batteries wear out eventually, but the bones are great. This new one is by far the best - faster than a speeding bullet. I've been importing video files and I am amazed at how quickly they are transferred. I have not started crunching the compression of new videos yet, but I have no doubt that this machine will be faster than anything else. I had been wanting to move up to a new MBP for some time but I resented needing dongles for everything - finally we are back to a set of the most useful connecters built in. I find the fingerprint ID very useful. Safari is solid and glitch-free so far. More than anything, the battery life is making my life easier. I have not had it long, but everything I have experienced so far is beyond my expectations. I plan to work with this daily for a very long time.

First, thanks to Best Buy for a great price match during the holidays! This is my first 14 inch MBP after using the 16 inch M1 Pro the last few years. LOVE the space black, but wasn't sure M3 Pro would be an "upgrade"--but THIS 1tb model with the "top" unbinned M3 Pro chip is. It has 1 more performance core and 4 more GPU cores than the base 512 gb M3 Pro. This model is a great value when it's on sale with the better performance and more storage. Compared to M1 Pro, websites and apps launch substantially faster and my logic pro projects run smoother with less clicks & pops. Not that M1 Pro was bad at all, but M3 Pro is just--better. Really needed a smaller form factor and appreciate the portability and power of this machine. Battery life is good, and low power mode can extend it without creating much lag. Downsides of course are the adjustment to a 14 inch screen. While I'm impressed with what the 14 inch screen can fit (better than a 13 inch Air), it's still a bit cramped after being used to the 16 inch (naturally). Overall, I would recommend this specific model when it's on sale. Don't pay the apple upgrade costs and be patient when you can snag this on sale -- it's the sweet spot for value/portability.

A laptop like no other With power and grace The MacBook Pro M3 In Space Black is ace. It has a stunning display and a sleek design It runs on the M3 chip. That's fast and refined. It can handle any task with ease and flair It has a long battery life and a touch bar to spare. It's not just a color. It's a statement of style The MacBook Pro M3 In Space Black is worthwhile.

The best buy.. This easily has been the best buy for me. The speed, the battery, the performance is all awesome. I never feel a lag and frankly it surprises you with the performance

Using the MacBook Pro 14” with the M3 Pro chip feels like a major step up in power and efficiency. The 18-core GPU handles graphics-intensive tasks seamlessly, making demanding projects like video editing or digital illustration feel fluid and responsive. With 18GB of memory, heavy multitasking is a breeze—keeping multiple apps open is smooth and lag-free. The 1TB SSD is incredibly fast, speeding up everything from app launches to file transfers. Battery life holds up all day, even under intensive use, and heat management is superb. Fans only kick in occasionally, and even then, they’re quiet, keeping the laptop cool and comfortable. The new Space Black finish adds a sophisticated and modern touch.

The speed is unmatched. The battery life is impeccable. I’m not worried if I forget my charger while on a job. This product makes my job as a Contant creator and filmmaker feel so seamless. Built-in SD card reader makes it so I don’t need to worry about having an SD card reader and gives me the ability to upload and drop footage as well as export and airdrop it with ease

You definitely have to cough up some money but this has been the best purchase I’ve ever made. The integration of the MacBook and my iPhone 14 is absolutely seamless. The information or pics I take on my phone is instantly transferred to my Mac and I am able to access my files from the Mac too and my productivity has sky rocketed from this seamless interface. ALSO, the battery life on this thing is absolutely insane, it’s SO good. If I fully charge it one, this thing can pull through for me for three-four days

Excellent battery life, super fast and responsive.

I purchased this laptop last year around Christmas time. It was open box but in amazing condition at half its original price. It’s been an improvement from my eight year old windows computer. The battery life last all day for my usage. I also enjoy the connectivity with my other Apple devices.

Love this computer! Was waiting to buy a new laptop and glad i did.

It's crazy good. Runs smooth as heck while I'm doing coding practice, and it has incredible speakers and battery life. You think there'd be a tradeoff for portability, but not really!

Overall great laptop, beautiful screen, battery life is amazing. New M3 chips are great

Perfect laptop for coding. Handles multiple IDEs and Docker containers with zero lag. The M3 Pro chip compiles code incredibly fast, and the battery lasts all day even during intense development sessions. The 18GB RAM makes multitasking smooth when running servers and testing environments. Space Black looks clean in my workspace. Expensive but a solid investment for developers.

Aside from using the migration assistant from your windows PC( Do not do this but instead take your files manually if needed from your old PC ). I made a mistake and used the migration assistant and it messed up the macOS so bad that I had to factory reset the MacBook. After that this thing only gets bogged down if you are doing a ridiculous amount of file transfers and some applications you have to be mindful that they don’t start to bleed out your memory so you should keep activity monitor open as some websites while the user is using safari can cause this but no issue as long you keep a close eye on activity monitor as if you are doing video editing you can watch the CPU usage( if you are into that type of thing) cold boot to after login screen is around 5 seconds which is impressive. You can play games don’t try to download the other game store apps and install games as Rosetta 2 probably supports the CPU side of things but not the GPU side. Games work from the Apple Store but I temper expectations since the Apple silicon been around for less than 5 years and developers are still poking at it. The only time the fans kick on is when I am playing a game but I’m sure someone who does 3D modeling would not look at this configuration. Storage is 1TB which should be enough for most people but try to get an external storage solution. The Battery life is the best battery life I have ever experienced in a laptop, I have gotten two days for heavy use and 4 days for light use. Display is nice but refrain from using a screen protector as it would increase the reflection from a light source. Glad I didn’t get the 32GB of RAM version since the only fan spinning thing I do is play a game here or there. If you own a lot of legacy devices, I suggest a dock. Overall, if you require a powerful, portable and battery efficient laptop, this is a proper choice

I have owned Apple Mac hardware in the past, but I quit macOS after the PowerPC era. Just didn't see the point in buying a commodity PC. The touch strip that Apple introduced only solidified my desire to stay away from that... Well, things have changed. I had been using a Dell XPS 13 Plus for the last year or so, and it's been great, but I had some issues with it: * Small screen. My eyes are not getting any better... * No physical ESC key. Yeah, Dell decided to do a touch bar but without the cool programmability. * Keyboard left something to be desired. It turns out, gapless keys seem to lead to more fat-fingering. What I wanted was a 14" laptop with a great display, a great keyboard, and a row of physical function keys (including ESC). A modern processor architecture would be nice. This MacBook Pro won me over compared to the new Dell 14" and 16" XPS models. What I've been most impressed with, aside from the fantastic typing experience, is the speed. Stuff that I build and tested under Ubuntu Linux on the XPS 13 Plus just builds and runs so much faster on the MacBook Pro -- I ran one benchmark on some of my code and noticed that the Mac was over 10x faster on one test, and that was with the Mac on battery power. Speaking of, this thing is rated for 18 hours of battery life, but I can report that it may exceed this if you sleep the machine periodically. Definitely don't run connected to the charger all the time! Full disclosure: This is the un-binned M3 Pro model with 18 GB of RAM and no disabled cores. I would have liked to get 32+GB of RAM, but Best Buy didn't stock those, and the Apple tax is pretty high for those configurations.

This MacBook Pro is very fast on responses. It is very thin. It is a little on the heavy side. With 1TB it is easy to store all of your documents, photos and Apps. The battery is amazing. It can last all day and still have power level to spare. I have had 3 MacBooks over the years and this one is top of the list in all areas, The cooling fan is not even heard. So quiet.

The Apple MacBook is a pinnacle of design and performance, offering a seamless blend of sleek aesthetics, powerful hardware, and intuitive software. With its stunning Retina display, lightning-fast M-series chip, and a comfortable Magic Keyboard, it excels in productivity, creativity, and everyday use. The integration of macOS with other Apple devices ensures a smooth, cohesive experience, making it ideal for users within the Apple ecosystem. While it comes at a premium price, the MacBook’s durability, long battery life, and high resale value make it a worthy investment for those seeking top-tier performance in a portable package.
