While Apple treated us with a cheaper M3 MacBook Pro, it has also tricked us into spending more on better specifications.
Yesterday, Apple unveiled during its Scary Fast event the new M3 MacBook Pro family with three different processors and several new tweaks. While Cupertino treated us with a cheaper option, it has also tricked us into spending more on better specifications. Don't get me wrong, ditching the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the old design for all the new features available on the entry 14-inch model is a solid upgrade – even though it's a bit more expensive.
With the new entry-level M3 Pro, Apple still charges the same price, but while it has an 11-core CPU, the new GPU is 14-core only – which is a downgrade. That said, Apple is breaking the M3 Pro processor into two options. For a better experience and real upgrade, users need to choose the 12-core CPU and 18-core GPU option, which costs $200 more. A 96W charger is also included. In addition, users get less memory bandwidth than previously, as the M2 Pro was 200GB/s, and the M3 Pro is now 150GB/s.
