I ’m just going to say it . fatal search good on a MacBook . Silver is decent , and so is whitened , but the unexampled M3- and M3 Max - powered MacBook Pros have that machine sleekness that feels very Apple . Plus , I can say that in the days since I ’ve gotten my grubby piffling paws on the massive16 - inch MacBook , the anodized material on the exterior has kept any but the greasiest of smudges from showing up .
We at Gizmodo have had just a few short days to mess around with the raw M3 - powered MacBook Pros on our own , without Apple looking over our shoulder . Apple shared point on its new silicon as well as anM3 - power iMacatits “ Scary Fast ” event just last week , and our full reassessment is come soon . In the lag , we can share a few of our more compact thoughts on how it ’s go so far .
Despite the new black scheme , the fresh MacBook Pro still got the same feel , a very similar screen , and that imprecate snick of the M2 - powered version that was released earlier this class .

Since the iPhone has moved on to Dynamic Island , it would have been decent to have some other apparatus to allow the pinhole camera rather than a fatal cake that takes up two inches at the top of the screen . So , all that said , you wo n’t see any immediate difference if you ’re already used to theM1 - powered MacBook Prothat debuted in 2021 .
Already , just typing on the new Pro model is quite a bit different if you ’re used to the Magic Keyboard on the MacBook Air . The keys are still low - profile , but they do have more heft to them , and that ’s apparent just by the speech sound they make . It ’s not exactly clicky , but they have a substantial “ bump ” to each keypress .
We received the14 - inch MacBook Prowith Regular M3 and 16 GB of RAM , as well as the16 - inch MacBook Prowith M3 Max and a thumping 48 GB of memory . As common , the box derive with a 140W charging brick and a braided USB - vitamin C to the magnetic five - bowling pin T - tip port cable .
The self-aggrandizing question for these new M3 MacBook Pros is how theyhandle the most intense tasks call for the most processing power . Based solely on specs , thenew central processing unit are indeed more powerfulthan the preceding generations of Apple silicon , but that does n’t imply they ’re all they ’re cracked up to be . We ’re very concerned in how well these equipment can plow gambling as well as large productivity tasks call for serious power . We ’ll see how well Apple can match its own title for its darkest MacBook Pro yet . Stay tuned for our full review as we put those claim to the trial .
