It feels like only a heartbeat ago we were reviewing the last MacBook Pro – the 16-inch M2 Pro model, 10 months ago, back in March 2023 – and quickly realising it was not only among the best MacBooks money could buy, but ultimately one of the best laptops on the planet.
That a new MacBook Pro has arrived so soon after seems somewhat peculiar, but we’re not complaining: the all-new M3 silicon (as revealed in the ‘Scary Fast’ event) is here to reign supreme and, in the 14-inch MacBook Pro M3 Max model we had for review, it’s truly outstanding.
Not only that, dressed in the also all-new Space Black finish (which we’re mildly obsessed with – all Apple products should offer Space Black), and with a lower entry-level price, can the late 2023 MacBook Pro M3 series do no wrong? We’ve been using it for a full week and there’s no doubt in our minds it delivers an almost out-of-this-world experience.
