Apple’s entry-level MacBook Pro with an M3 chip and 8GB of RAM is a fine machine, but at $1,699 it’s a little too pricey to recommend. That’s why this deal caught our eye—Amazon is selling the same MacBook Pro with an M3 Pro chip and 18GB of RAM for $1,649, a savings of $350 and the best price we’ve ever seen for this model.
We reviewed the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip and gave it a 4.5/5 star rating and our Editors’ Choice award, with our expert praising the great performance of this chip, the plentiful 18GB of unified memory, and just how quiet the laptop is even when running tough jobs.
