Apple’s 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro has dropped to its lowest price to date. Be sure to clip the Amazon coupon to get the full $300 off.
This model comes with the standard M3 chip, 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. We typically recommend opting for a configuration with at least 16GB of RAM, especially if you plan to use your MacBook Pro for video editing. But given this deal, there’s currently a $600 gap between the base model and one that has 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. However, if you just need more storage, a model with 8GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD will when you apply a coupon. That’s also $300 off.
The is our pick for the , especially if you’re able to swing a higher-specced configuration. But the base 14-inch model still has a lot going for it. There’s a great MiniLED Liquid Retina XDR display with a 120Hz refresh rate, for one thing. While there’s a 16-inch M3 MBP available, the 14-inch form factor strikes a nice sweet spot in terms of portability and screen real estate.
The six-speaker array and built-in mics do an excellent job of handling the audio side of things. The MacBook Pro also has far more ports than the current MacBook Air as you’ll get an SD card slot, headphone jack, HDMI port and two Thunderbolt 4 sockets as well as the MagSafe charging port. The 14-inch MBP’s battery, meanwhile, lasted for 20 and a half hours in our video rundown test.
