Apple Event Live Blog: MacBook Pro and iMac Updated With New M3 Chip Family

[Orange Bat]

Whoa! She just said these are the most powerful laptops they’ve ever made! Expected them to say they‘re not quite as good as past laptops. I’m sold!

 

[Ghengis LeMond]

128gb of laptop ram? $15,000,000! Amazing!

 

[Aeryn]

The more they emphasize "It's sooooo PRO" the more I realize I don't need a "pro" computer. And I used to be the definition of a power user.

For games like [insert game from 30 years ago].

Funny but they’re referencing the remade 2020 version

This livestream is essentially a long commercial..

The Black is cool.

Finally 128GB RAM on MBP!!! Looks like it's finally time to upgrade my late-2020 M1 yesss

 

[dumastudetto]

22 hours battery life.
11x faster than the fastest Intel MacBook Pro.
The most powerful MacBooks Apple has ever created with industry-leading stamina.

 

[Realityck]

Trade in time for pre-AS laptops for a lot of people that were waiting for the M3.

 

[abowlby]

Kinda surprised we aren't seeing Face ID and/or Dynamic Island here. Saving it for MacBook Pro Ultra probably.

 

[sw1tcher]

M3 14” would be sufficient for me if can get for 13” mbp price please

The 13" MBP is priced the way it is because it's using an old body design and few people want the Touch Bar, so Apple had to discount it to move inventory.

 

[supergt]

MacBook Air with M3 is the play.

 

[bobdobalina]

Nits bump is nice.

 

[tunne]

LLM power users will be disappointed with the 128gb limit on M3 Max. They’ll stick with the M2 Ultra which offers 192gb. Hope M3 Ultra is around the corner.

 

[ratherbebowling]

Is this better than my MacBook Pro from 2010? I have got lost in the specs..

Oh wow new colour!!!! Pro colour!!!

 

[Fuzzball84]

They are targeting Intel machines as they know M1 is so powerful for most people would never need the increase in performance they offer. You’d need a new laptop before ever reaching a point where processing power was limiting factor.

I’d rather have a new battery tech, new screen tech, new design and connectivity. Increases in performance are a given at this point with ARM.

Midnight

 

[Kylo83]

you have an app called Vivid that can make screen brighter so thats just software thing, they can made the m1 MacBook Pro brighter with a. firmware upgrade, thats fake marketing, I can use my display with the app at full 1600nits

 

[jillpygok]

my M1 Max is already super fast, nothing is slow, so whats the point in upgrading

Have an almost 8 year MacBook Pro here. I'm guessing this is more for people in the pre-Apple Silicon camp.

 

[tomtad]

It looks like it should be press release.

There’s something bigger coming. Only been going 20 mins and we’ve already covered the new chips and MacBook Pros.

 

[MBAir2010]

and the M3 chip is 50% FAHHHHHster than the M1.

that is not good for coders who now must get that landing page finished in half the time
now...

 

[zachz]

finally the colours have come!!!!

 

[sjsharksfan12]

I am somewhat close to turning this off. I figured it wasn't going to be for me (I already have the M1 Mac Air, and it's something I don't need to upgrade for a few years) but I was hoping they might do more than the Mac and maybe even talk about Airpods. This might be too "tech" heavy for Prime Time. It also reminds me of Job's ability to simplify technology for the masses, something this event is not doing.

 

[rotvaldi]

When OLED

 

[Richard10250]

Wait...they invented a new color!

 

[psxp]

ooooohhh new colour for the "pro". lol..

SPACE BLACK. 😂
