Apple Unveils New Space Black MacBook Pro Color for M3 Pro and M3 Max

[anshuvorty]

30 min video…shortest event for sure…no wonder they released it at the very last moment..

 

[zakarhino]

My M1 just produced a large puff of smoke and all of the keys fell out of the keyboard.

 

[SurferPup]

Purchased over lunch the M3 Pro in size 14 screen.

Timmy said, "Once you've had space black...."

 

[i4k20c]

How does apple keep doing it? You think there is no way they can innovate anymore, and they do it again. The speed, the color, the body, it’s all magnificent.

 

[Blue Sun]

Unless Space Black miraculously hides fingerprints, my next machine will be Silver.

I’d prefer Space Gray, but it’s only available with the M3 chip

 

[klky]

No Space Black for those only buying base M3 MBPs. Apple wants everyone to know you're a peasant 😂

 

[Sowelu]

That’s absurd, really. How does the color get tied to the SoC??? Not the model of MBP.

Apple knows that the cheapest MacBook Pro will be a guaranteed best seller, so this is their way of steering some of those would-be lower end MacBook Pro customers up a level to the M3 Pro chip price-point (assuming with fatter profit margins). They know many people will do this just to get the Space Black color.

Don't be fool anymore. Last time, they introduced space gray. It ends up with the oil mark after a long period of time by the hands. Any dark coating couldn't last long. It is better to pick the silver or starlight gold. The bright colors can last longer as new.

 

[DeepIn2U]

Now that is pretty.

Sort of called it .. the BlackBook is BACK!

I mentioned about the black apple logo ...

^ THIS: Is THE only thing that should matter to Apple right now is the Mac.

hence Bring It Apple!

Now if M3 bring us Dark Matter type Apple symbol's on M3 Pro/Max/Ultra lineup for the MBP ... oooh yeah you know they Bringin'it!

Im hoping this new architecture going forward for thr GPU is really significant!

So the debts. Am I buying? Noy yet but I'm significantly planning on it. I just wished a 2-in-1 was possible in a blackbook powerful MBP

 

[Tech_Mac_Man]

JUST LIKE THE MIDNIGHT BLUE YOU CAN EXPECT THE PAINT TO CHIP ON THESE...

 

[DeepIn2U]

BlackBook is Back

And with it our Apple SoC digital pimp Jony returns!

Was starting to worry Aplle lost yet another incredible engineer of the Mac team after so many over the years (retirement mostly), to a second level far too soon.

FYI: the last few weeks couldn't have been easy for Jony and family to be honest so seeing him present is huge and a big ask by Tim so I hope he's well considered snd graciously indebted.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A SERIOUS FINGER PRINT MAGNET!!

The Pro and Max versions are not any cheaper, they just made an entry level 14 inch MacBook Pro with just the entry level M3. It's kinda similar to that entry level MacBook Pro without touch bar from 2016. They upgraded the default storage to 512 GBs, but it's still stuck at 8 GBs of RAM. Apple could have really push that up to at least 12 GBs.

As long as the PC world stay at 8GB RAM for base tier modals, Apple will do the same ... sadly. At this rate, the iPhone Pro Max will surpass entry level Macs!!

 

[Lioness~]

Hope for a Space Black MacBook Air later 🖤

Its all about them margins, if they can get you to spend more at purchase, even better. My future computing setup is to consolidate down to one desktop and laptop. This ultimately means getting rid of my Windows laptop, which I still use. With official Windows support for Arm on hypervisors such as VMWare Player and Parallels I will be moving any need for Windows there. That means, my next Mac needs to have a lot of RAM. I also use Ubuntu Linux for some other stuff. Hopefully by the time I am ready 64 GBs won't be so ridiculously expensive.

ahh okay, well yeah its nice they have an "affordable" (pro?) at 1599, that's perfect for someone like me honestly. Wonder if the screen will be better than the air..

 

[Cuesca]

I'll wait to see if there are some overheating issues associated with these.

 

[Born Again]

the most exciting announcement. Wish i could upgrade my macbook pro m1 max.

 

[themacobserver]

M4 MBP will feature Fine Woven chassis [for those with courage].

 

[AxiomaticRubric]

Absolutely beautiful in Space Black!

I now have a new obsession for my tech lust. 🤤

Do I *need* one? Not really. My M1 is still going strong. But there is a lot to look forward to. When these hit the Apple Refurbished store it will be a happy day for me.

 

[MareLuce]

Probably the biggest surprise of the entire event, but a welcome one for sure.

Exactly!

Did anyone call it?

It's obvious in hindsight, with it being Halloween and all.

But I'm glad no one leaked it. GREAT surprise.

Well done, Apple, well done.

 

[karranz]

It still has legacy ports, yikes.

keep in mind one external display only.

 

[subjonas]

Hmm sad, I think I would have preferred Space Gray (no longer offered with M3 Pro/Max), but I’ll have to see the black in person. Not a deal breaker either way or anything haha.
