M3 Macbook Pro Impressions: Is It Enough?
M3 Macbook Pro Impressions: Is It Enough?
Matte space black laptops are cool, but we got M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips as well.

I think the reason behind the constant comparison of M1 and M3 is that the M1 computers are still so good that people may not otherwise upgrade.
I still have my M1 and I’m not thinking of changing any time soon, Apple has made a perfect computer So now it’s going to be difficult to convince us to change 😆
If you are using M1 there’s still no need to upgrade
Absolutely. Apple is trying hard to sell the M3 even though the M1 is still a great computer.
@Natan Pereira yeah watch when they are pushing M5 or M6 they’ll bring up these comparisons again
No, it’s because the M3 chips are a very tiny upgrade.
I hope the reason they aren’t releasing a USB C keyboard, mouse, and trackpad, is that they are redesigning the Magic Mouse. It would make sense to keep both bundled accessories using the same port, so I expect they will not stagger the release of them. The Magic Mouse at least needs a new charging port location, but a change to its ergonomics would also be welcome.
Great points. I feel similar. I also think the Magic Mouse is too small
The accessories need the upgrade & Apple has to know it
Yeah i wish new apple mouse. Waiting patiently. They should inceese back bump and make it like simple mouse but with those unique touch conttols
Calling it now, Apple has partnered with some big name PC mouse company to make a redesigned magic mouse. I wouldn’t be surprised if they partnered with Logitech for stuff like this.
They had more than a decade to learn what works for the industry, and I hope they took notes from MX Master product line.
Magic mouse was a Steve jobs era product, and tbh good riddance.
Alternatively, Apple might go the wireless route and have mouse controls similar to their VR setup.
@Rob Ster but mx master is too heavy and thick so if they do its something in between. Probably it will be quite nice
@Domantas Bronušas it’s heavy and thick but comfortable. I believe they’ve lost most of their target audience to Logi. All the engineers, PM’s and designers I work with have a Logi. None have the Magic Mouse anymore.
Good luck in the match! I’m one of the M1 Max MBP users and while I’m probably in their use case as I do a lot of ML and Software Dev – I think I’m going to wait. The Space Black is an intriguing color, but between fingerprints and the inevitable scratches – I don’t know if I can do that color. In your review (or when you talk to Apple), ask them about scratch resistance. A silver MBP hides all the small nicks and scratches very well.

Silver 16“ M1 Max user here too💪
M1 is sooooo good I don’t see myself upgrading for another 3-4 years. It has aged so well and it would take more than just a color to upgrade.
I feel similarly. My M1 MacBook Air is still chugging along very nicely. I wouldn’t consider an upgrade until at least the M5.
The upgrade is really a push for those of us late adopters who are still on the last generation of intel based Mac’s. It’s finally time, I ordered an M3 Max last night.
Congrats on your team USA Roster addition. You’re the man. Incredibly inspiring to see your journey.
Would be interesting to see an M1 Max compared to a standard M3
m3 would get dunked on
I was thinking the same thing during the event… M1 Max would still probably beat regular M3
M1 max would destroy it. The more interesting comparison is M1 max (32 core) vs M3 pro and M3 max (30 core)
M1 Max would probably beat it, 24/32GPU cores versus the 10 new ones? I think just raw core-count will topple it.
@DiverMan My guess is that the standard M3 would dunk on the M1 Max for GPU tasks (games) and single core workloads. Multi core workloads = no question. M1 Max would rule the roost.
I think they understand that it might take 2 gens before people are upgrading. Same w/ phones. Things never sound like major upgrades if you have the most up to date thing, but if you’re a couple gens behind, they might become interesting.
When they decided on matte black for the M3 line, they definitely had you in mind! I can’t count how many time you’ve asked for matte black
Marques had me smiling when he said “Amazing Production”
I can only imagine what wonders the MKBHD team would do if they were the guys behind the next Apple Keynote. 🤯
PS: Thanks for this update. You are an absolute treat to watch Marques 🖤
