Apple Unveils New MacBook Pro M3 Models: Most Powerful Laptops Yet
Apple has just announced its latest lineup of MacBook Pro flagships, and they are the most powerful laptops to come from the brand. Preorders for the Apple MacBook Pro M3 are now available in the US, UK, Australia, and other official Apple Store locations. For those looking to upgrade, links and prices can be found below, along with a growing list of other retailers offering preorders.
Currently, there are limited stocks available from other retailers, but as the official release date of November 7 approaches, we expect to see more stores selling the new MacBooks. It may be worth waiting for Black Friday deals later this month, as they could potentially offer the first discounts on these MacBook Pro M3 models. Further details on this can be found below.

Official release date: November 7
Fastest Apple chipset to date
New Space Black color
As the name suggests, the latest Apple MacBook Pro models feature the new M3 chipsets as their main attraction. This new iteration is essentially a refresh of the previous M2 lineup, with the addition of a new ‘Space Black’ color option to contrast the traditional Apple silver.
The M3 chipsets are the first mainstream laptop processors to be manufactured using a 3nm fabrication process, a significant improvement from the previous 5nm process used in the M2 series. This advancement allows Apple to enhance both the power and energy efficiency of these new chips.
While we have yet to test these machines, Apple claims that the standard M3 chip outperforms the M1 by 60% in rendering workloads and up to 40% in code compilation and spreadsheet tasks. The company also boasts an impressive battery life of up to 22 hours.
For a more detailed overview of these latest models, we recommend visiting our main MacBook Pro 14-inch with M3 and Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch with M3 pages.
How to Save Money on Your New MacBook Pro

Consider trading in your old model
Alternatively, wait for Black Friday
The easiest way to save money on your new MacBook Pro is to take advantage of Apple’s official trade-in program, which is currently available alongside preorders. To determine the value of your old device, you will need its serial number if it is an old MacBook. It is important to note that trade-ins are not limited to Apple products alone – you can also trade in a laptop from another brand if you are considering switching over. Typically, non-Apple tech tends to receive lower trade-in values, as Apple favors its own products, but it is still worth considering. The current maximum trade-in value for a MacBook Pro is $1070/£865/A$1,275.
Another option is to wait for this year’s Black Friday MacBook deals, which may include discounts on the new models. Black Friday is only a few weeks away and is known for offering record-low prices on laptops from top retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy. While the best deals usually apply to older models, we have seen discounts of $50 to $100 on MacBooks shortly after their release in previous years. Therefore, it is not entirely unlikely to see discounts on the latest M3 models this November.
