For many creatives, Apple’s MacBook Pro stands out as the preferred choice over its MacBook Air counterpart, despite the higher price tag serving as a deterrent. However, if the cost has been a barrier for you, there’s good news: Apple’s 2023 MacBook Pro featuring the M3 Pro chip is currently discounted at $1,799, down from its usual $1,999. While the 10 percent discount doesn’t entirely bridge the gap between the 14-inch laptop and even the most expensive 2023 MacBook Air, the added power of the M3 Pro chip may justify the investment for those seeking enhanced performance.
Introduced last November, the 2023 MacBook Pro lineup offers three variants of the M3 chip: standard, M3 Pro, and M3 Max. The model currently on sale represents the mid-range option and boasts a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, along with a magic keyboard featuring touch ID. Notably, it comes equipped with up to 18GB of RAM, an 11-core CPU, a 14-core GPU, and 512GB of SSD storage. Moreover, users can expect up to 18 hours of battery life from this model.
In terms of multimedia capabilities, this MacBook Pro includes a 1080p HD camera and a Spatial Audio-enabled sound system featuring six speakers. Additionally, it offers a plethora of connectivity options, including an HDMI port, a headphone jack, MagSafe charging port, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, and an SDXC card slot.
