Fuck sake Apple, I really want a new MBP but why do you keep sticking 8GB ram in these machines. I honestly don’t care about the integrated management, the SOC architecture, 8GB is just really tight at this price point. It’s not user replaceable and in 2/3 years down the line I’d rather not have to upgrade because it no longer handles the workloads. I love Apple, I’ve worked for Apple, I’ll always use Apple, but christ my iPhone has about the same RAM as MacBook Pro. It’s just shit. Cmon.
Remember when Everyone said the m3 pro was not going to come out until late next year, and there was no way it was possible. I member.
M3 memory bandwidth is a downgrade from M2.
I was expecting much more 😅
I thought that we will get the dynamic island, a new design, and maybe even wifi 7, or something unique… I guess Apple didn’t have a good year and decided to get rid of all the chassis, by just replacing the chips, etc… no one needs extra 100nits SDR brightness, it’s already good enough on my M2 Max 16" Macbook Pro.
I find it weird that now the memory bandwidth is 50GB/s less than the last M2 Pro models.
30 minute informercial in what could of just been a press release.
fully loaded 16" MacBook Pro now costs $7,200:
• Apple M3 Max chip with 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU • 128GB of unified memory • 8TB SSD storage
That’s super expensive, and a lot of the cost seems to come from the storage. I would totally go for that model if it were lower priced because I want to have a laptop that still performs well 4-5 years later and be considered between mid and high level performance.
It seems strange that the M3 iMac is only 4x the performance of the last Intel iMac, I would have assumed it’d be 8-10x at least
What does everyone think of getting a Macbook with M2 Max versus M3 Pro? It looks like they’d be a comparable price now, but I can’t tell what the differences are through all the buzzwords.
No benchmarks yet, but considering they showed M2 to M3 more or less being similar to M1 to M2 in terms of most general use cases, and the fact that M1 Max was better than M2 Pro, it’s likely that M2 Max will still be ahead of M3 Pro.
Buzzwords will eventually tank the brand.
Can’t wait give up my freelance creative work so I no longer feel crap about not having all the latest gear.
I remember going to the store when the m1 came out and thought it was a joke they had a 512 ssd model
Am I the only one who was kind of hoping that when the fog cleared it was the reanimated corpse of Steve Jobs? Felt like the best opportunity they’ve had
Idk man… my 2015 MacBook Pro still works great. Especially since I installed Debian on it.
16% faster Neural Engine than M2
If only I can actually feel the difference in real world usage
M3 and 8gb ram, effing hell is Apple smoking. Who the hell will get that in 2023 instead waiting for the improved Air?
Mine will have 36gb
