First Look - MacBook Pro




MacBook Pro with Apple silicon is a game changer. With M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max, it’s the first personal computer powered by industry-leading 3 nanometer chips, for even more performance and power efficiency. MacBook Pro features a next-generation GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, even higher performance CPU, faster Neural Engine, and support for even more unified memory. MacBook Pro delivers up to 22 hours of battery life. The Liquid Retina XDR display gets even better, with SDR content displayed up to 20 percent brighter than before. And models with M3 Pro and M3 Max come in a stunning space black finish. Every aspect of MacBook Pro is best-in-class. It’s simply the world’s best pro laptop.
