Clearing out the M3/M3 Max inventory of MacBook Pro laptops... getting ready for M4 and M4 Max models?

 

[StuBeck]

Hmm...just got my wife a MBA M3 last month, the MBP M3 Pro for $50 more would have been nice.

14 inch pro, 16 GB, 1T was $1499 a couple weeks ago on Amazon. This deal is $100 plus a membership

 

[Brian_v11]

I get the sense (no proof) that they are clearing out models w/ 8 GB of RAM. I'm curious what they release in the spring.

 

[macrumors3000]

M4 leap is huge. Time to clear failed M3's

 

[StoneJack]

I bought m3 macbook pro almost year ago, 8, 512gb.great machine and now is even more cost effective

If 6GB RAM is not enough to run Apple Intelligence on an iPhone.... how the hell is 8GB RAM on a Mac enough to run it.

I can understand how light users could survive on an 8GB laptop in the past... but just don't expect to do much Apple Intelligence on that. I can't imagine running a local LLM in such a constrained system.

Are you still in the 30 Day return window?

I was at Best Buy yesterday and saved a couple more bucks off the 13" base model M2 MBA in the pretty dark blue. I replaced my M4 iPad Pro with this. I really TRIED to use the iPad as my "laptop" but it's just a miserable experience. I've spent a day with this M2 MBA and it's a slice of heaven. It's far too much computer for the $770 I paid. (open box) Sits on my desk next to WFH workstation and does all I need exactly as I need.

Are you sure you're not confusing this with the $1,499.00 sale from Amazon (and Best Buy and Costco) for the 14-inch MacBook Pro M3 Pro 18GB/512GB ?

Or 14-inch MacBook Pro M3 8GB/1TB for $1,499.00?

I don't recall ever seeing a 14-inch MacBook Pro M3 16GB/1TB for $1,499.00

 

[Corefile]

How can a Pro laptop only have an unexpandable 8GB of RAM? That truly is a totally embarrassing gimmick from Apple. They totally are a joke of a company right now.

 

[svish]

Good discounts on multiple MacBook models.

 

[StuBeck]

Nope, and Best Buys is 15 days now anyway.

Even as very casual users my girlfriend and I both could not make this work, I think the idea that the iPad is currently a viable laptop replacement has to stop being perpetuated, it’s pretty foolish. Even those of us who *think* we only surf the web and listen to Spotify are going to run into countless unforeseen scenarios in which an iPad is just too cumbersome and awkward an experience for prolonged laptop replacement.

 

[BornAgainMac]

It's a trap. Waiting for M4.
