🗂️Keep in Mind M3 MacBook Pros Are up to $500 Off

[_=*Croft*=_]

Several of the MacBook Pros with M3 and M3 Pro chips are discounted up to $500 off right now. The M3 MacBook Pro is practically the perfect laptop, and Apple made an 8GB RAM version with a more affordable starting price than previous generations ($400 lower, to be exact). Here's the full rundown.

The 14.2-inch M3 MacBook Pro​

The cheapest entry-level M3 MacBook Pro has a 14.2-inch screen. The base model has an M3 chip with an 8‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage for $1,399 (originally $1,599) after the on-page $99.01 coupon. The display is a mini LED with a 3,024 by 1,964 resolution and 120Hz screen refresh, which should help it run most games smoothly—this is something the M3 MacBook Air and previous MacBook Pros were not as capable of doing.

The $400 listing price difference between the M3 and M3 Pro MacBook Pro laptops is deceiving. The M3 Pro chip is leaps and bounds better in terms of value than the M3 for those looking for the best performance—and for those who can afford it. It comes with 18GB of RAM (10 more GB than the entry level M3 MacBook Pro), an 11‑core CPU, and 14‑core GPU M3 Pro chip. You also get about eight hours more battery life than the 14.2-inch M3 MacBook Pro. The M3 Pro is just a more powerful engine, although there are no upgrades in the display—so if the RAM and chip processing power is not what you're after, the standard M3 MacBook Pro is the better choice. You can find this one for $1,699 (originally $1,999) after a $300 discount on Amazon. Read more about the M3 Pro 14.2-inch MacBook Pro in PCMag's "outstanding" review here.

The 16.2-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro​

The M3 Pro 16.2-inch MacBook Pro is very similar to the 14.2-inch M3 MacBook Pro. The obvious main difference is the bigger screen, but it also has a stronger M3 Pro chip with a 12‑core CPU and 18‑core GPU, about four more hours of battery life, and a mini-LED backlit Liquid Retina XDR display with 3,456 by 2,234 pixels of resolution. Those upgrades result in a significantly higher price (it starts at $2,499) but you can usually find this one up to $300 off on Amazon. This is a good option if you want more screen real estate and more power than the 14.2-inch model offers but don't want to spend about $3,000 for the M3 Max chip.

The 16.2-inch MacBook Pro laptop M3 Max chip​

If you want to go all out, the MacBook Pro 16-inch M3 Max chip is the best MacBook Pro Apple offers. To be honest, it's overkill for most people. It has 128GB of RAM, 8TB of memory, a 3,456 by 2,234 resolution, a Mini LED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 40-core GPU Apple M3 Max graphics processor, and about 28 hours of battery life according to PCMag's review. Again, hardly anyone needs that much power. You can get the M3 Max Chip MacBook Pro for $2,999 (originally $3,499) for $500 off, the lowest price it has been since its release.
