I upgraded from a late 2016 15-inch Intel MacBook Pro. The M3 is orders of magnitude faster and never seems to break a sweat. Beautiful chassis is significantly thicker, but the length and width are only slightly larger - much of the increase in screen size is thanks to the smaller bezel. So far, the notch doesn't bother me at all. The keyboard is better in every way. softer and springier with greater key travel, and much, much quieter. I found the Touch Bar on the Intel model to be useful in certain cases, in particular the autosuggestions it provided as I typed. I haven't spent that much time writing on the M3, but so far I'd say I make fewer typos thanks to the better keyboard, and that may make up for the loss of the Touch Bar. The speakers? my oh my, they are astonishing. They do (unsurprisingly) lack thump in the lowest end of the frequency range, but otherwise they are amazingly clear and balanced, with superb presence and soundstage? especially on tracks with Dolby Atmos.

This is my second MacBook Pro and I thought the last one was fast! This is lightning in a bottle! Boots up the the desktop in seconds and is super fast. I love having the Touch ID and it's very user friendly. The only caveat is, if you have older software that you want to migrate to this new laptop, you'll have to update to the latest software because the new M3s run a 64 bit OS and unless your software works in 64 bit, it won't work on this machine. Sales support from Adorama was excellent and they shipped nice and fast. I'm a very happy new MacBook owner!

MacBook Pro blasts forward with the M3 Pro. Built on 3-nanometer technology and featuring an all-new GPU architecture, they're the most advanced chips ever built for a personal computer. And each one brings more pro performance and capability.
Building on M3, the M3 Pro chip features more CPU and GPU cores and additional unified memory, driving even greater performance for those with more demanding workflows like researchers, coders, and creative pros. So stitching together and manipulating gigantic gigapixel panorama images or compiling millions of lines of code is even faster.
Behold an entirely new class of GPU architecture. And the biggest breakthrough in graphics yet for Apple silicon. Dynamic Caching optimizes fast on-chip memory to dramatically increase average GPU utilization - driving a huge performance boost for the most demanding pro apps and games.
For the first time, MacBook Pro features hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Combined with the new graphics architecture, it enables pro apps to deliver up to two and a half times faster rendering performance and allows games to provide more realistic shadows and reflections.
MacBook Pro has the longest battery life ever in a Mac - up to 22 hours. That efficiency is the magic of Apple silicon. And all models remain just as fast whether plugged in or not. So wherever inspiration strikes or whenever duty calls, run with it.
Extreme Dynamic Range (XDR) brings refined specular highlights, incredible detail in shadows, and vibrant, true-to-life colors. Calibrated in the factory, each Liquid Retina XDR display also features ProMotion and pro reference modes.
It makes video calls feel more like the real thing - with technologies to help you look sharp in any light.
Captures the subtlest sounds in audio production and minimizes background noise so your voice comes through loud and clear.
Two pairs of force-cancelling woofers with two tweeters fill the room with sound. And Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos creates a three-dimensional soundstage.
MacBook Pro packs a powerful array of ports for connecting high-speed peripherals, driving high-resolution displays, or directly offloading SDXC cards. And it supports both Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
The Magic Keyboard comes with a full-height function key row and Touch ID, which gives you a fast, easy, secure way to unlock your Mac and sign in to apps and sites.
