Apple just announced the new 14
The new 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro is here! It's replacing the M2 13-inch MacBook Pro, which is known for delivering phenomenal battery life. So we can't help but wonder: With the launch of the new M3 chip, will the 14-inch MacBook Pro last even longer? We won't know until we get our hands on one and test it, but the odds are looking good for Apple.
The Cupertino-based tech giant announced a flurry of new features alongside the new 14-inch MacBook Pro. So if you have your sights set on a new Apple laptop, allow me to dive into the new updates you're getting with this highly anticipated refresh.
3 new features of the M3 14-inch MacBook Pros
Apple's latest entry-level MacBook Pro is the first of Apple's computers with its latest silicon chip, the M3. Apple's chipset is known for its blazing fast speeds and the M3 certainly won't be any different.
Plus, Apple is ditching the 13-inch screen for its entry-level MacBook Pros, giving users a larger 14-inch screen without needing to shell out extra cash for a more powerful machine. This is the first time Apple has outfitted a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an entry-level silicon chipset.
And, finally, the Touch Bar is dead. Yes, some of Apple's diehards may miss it, but its clear that Apple viewed it as an outdated feature. That being said, let's take a look at some of the more au courant specs Apple is packing inside the new 14-inch MacBook Pro:
Apple's M3 chipset, the fastest entry-level silicon chip yet
14 inches of display at consumer – not prosumer – pricing
No more outdated touchbar to accidentally hit while typing
There's more!
Besides those three main takeaways, one thing consumers should focus on here is the price. This new entry level MacBook is the most affordable 14-inch MacBook Pro yet at $1599. That said, I will admit that Apple still selling a base model laptop with 8GB RAM in the year 2023 is absurd. So, would-be buyers will likely want to throw down that extra $200 for 16GB RAM at a total of $1799 to future-proof their purchase.
Apple says with that, you're getting an M3 that has a rendering performance that is up to 1.8x faster than the M2 and up to 2.5x faster than the M1. When it comes to performance cores, the M3 is 15 percent faster than the M3 and 30 percent faster than the M1.

However, it's clear that these upgrades really aren't for Apple customers who already own an M1 or M2 Mac computer. It's for users who have PCs or are still using a years-old Intel Mac. For example, Apple shared that the M3 chip is up to 11x fasterthan an Intel-based MacBook Pro.
Plus, with some added bonuses like 22 hours of battery life and the previously mentioned updated 14-inch body, this new MacBook Pro finally puts the entry-level MacBook Pro model on the same level as the more expensive M3 Pro and M3 Max versions of Apple's flagship laptop.
Apple is taking pre-orders right now and the entire line of new M3 MacBook Pros will be available Nov. 7.
