Apple M1 Pro Vs M3

[5.3] I upgraded from the Macbook Pro M1 as I’m editing more with 8K videos in DaVinci. The M3 Pro chip with 12 Core works great for DaVinci Studio whilst still having other programs open. Rendering is way faster. I barely do any 3D or Fusion, so the Pro chip was sufficient.

[Late 2023] This M3 MBP in silver replaced an M1 MBP in space gray. Wish the M3 Pro came in space gray but didn't want the space black. Back to the silver of my old 2012 MBP.

[36 GB] I bought this 14 M3 Pro MacBook Pro to replace a M1 MacBook Air. The MBA had 4 performance cores, 4 efficency cores, 16 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD. The model I bought gave me 5 performance cores, 6 efficency cores, 32 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD. I decided I didn't need the additional GPU cores provided by the M3 Max chip, and the single-core performanc increase over the M1 and M2 generations made this upgrade a no-brainer for me. I also liked that there is a different mix of efficiency cores on the M3 Pro (5/6) versus the M3 Max (10/4); I plan on being fairly mobile with this notebook computer, so I think this mix of GPU and CPU cores will end up providing a better blend of battery life when away / performance when plugged in at my desk.

[Late 2023] I had a MacMini M1 linked to two 27inch displays for my media production and was frustrated that my old laptop was not in sync (old OS) so when I travel I couldn’t work on projects. So during the Black Friday sale at B&H I bought this 2023 MacBook Pro M3. Super happy! Now this sleek and fast MacBook Pro M3 is the new “brain” linked to my two monitors and now I can travel with this laptop containing all my projects as I’m working on them. Grateful for with the great price I got at B&H. Thanks! This is an amazing laptop.

[5.3] I like how Apple went with the design of the new MacBook Pro M3. Super fast with an amazing battery. I'm glad to see that they added the MagSafe port again.

This adapter is extremely useful - it comes in handy all the time! I use it with my new Apple M1 MacBook Pro - it allows me to plug in numerous drives, an SD card and even power! Couldn't live without this, tbh! B&H ships quickly - they're just the most reliable store online IMO - it's a mistake to buy anywhere else.

[Extended] I purchased Apple Care+ for my new 16-inch M1 MacBook Pro. WIth a purchase this big, I knew I needed to have it covered. Getting to have spill and other accident protection is essential. If you're gonna get something as essential as a laptop for your work, get Apple Care+. Even if you never has to use it, it's always good to have it.

[0.57 lb] I bought this for my new Apple MacBook Pro 16.2 M1 Series 2021 Laptop. The computer is slightly thicker than my Apple MacBook Pro 15.4 Mid 2014 laptop. My Mid 2014 fits perfectly but the new 16 M1 2021 will fit but the tension on the zipper is more than what I am comfortable with. I will use it with my 15 when I want to go in style or incognito. I do think it is a piece of art in a way. I really hate for it to get scuffed up using it but I do take care of my stuff. I've used another brand of harder case for my 15 and had to get the same brand for my 16 not knowing when I ordered this that one was available. I will NOT be returning this because it is just too nice and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Again: You 16 will fit but it is a very tight squeeze that I feel might make the zipper give out prematurely for some people that do not take excessive care of their property. Otherwise its feel and look are unique and exclusive. Great way to hide your goods in a bookcase if needed.

[1x AUX Male] The Apple MacBook Pro M1 cable is a little short for most purposes in my life and this extension cable makes it way easier to plug in where you want to. It's a no-brainer.
