Nab your choice of M3 MacBook Pro for hundreds off at Amazon
So you can take your pick of machines with whatever specs suit you at the links below. The Pro lineup of M3 MacBooks came out in 2023 to great acclaim. You could load one up with one of three versions of the powerful chip: M3, M3 Pro or M3 Max. So from average uses up to hugely demanding workflows like rendering 3D content, everyone was covered. And the laptops remain excellent buys at sale prices because they’re still somewhat new.
What’s more, the machines also boast up to 18 hours of battery life — no small feat with such powerful processing. And as Apple pointed out, performance remains the same running on battery power or plugged in. The gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display features Extreme Dynamic Range, over 1000 nits of brightness for stunning HDR content and up to 600 nits of brightness for SDR content. A 1080p FaceTime HD camera, a studio-quality three-mic array and a six-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio round out the features list. And you get Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, plus a MagSafe charing port, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an SDXC card slot, HDMI port and a headphone jack.
