Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) Review

The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) is another fantastic Apple laptop, designed with those who need serious power on the go in mind.

Huge amount of internal options ; Stunning screen ; Stays quiet and cool

Even more expensive than before (for those in the UK) ; Lack of Face ID makes the notch feel dated already ; Pricey to upgrade the memory

The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) is another fantastic Apple laptop, designed with those who need serious power on the go in mind. The upgrades over the previous version are minimal, but that doesn’t stop this from being one of the best laptops you can buy.

MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3 Max, 2023) review: taking it to the max

All-new Space Black finish, all-new M3 power, all-new price: the 2023 MacBook Pro is out-of-this-world impressive

Significant price drop compared to predecessor ; Still super-powerful thanks to M3 silicon ; Stunningly bright and detailed display ; Super battery life

Notched display won't please all ; The Space Black plug is white ; No USB-A port

If you don't immediately fall in love with the new Space Black finish then it doesn't even matter – because Apple's 14-inch MacBook Pro M3 is such a powerful and accomplished machine that you'll be simply engulfed by its peerless capability. In M3 Max...

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) review: a solid upgrade to an amazing laptop

How do you improve an almost perfect laptop? According to Apple, you give it a specs bump…

New M2 Pro and M2 Max chips ; Almost 20-hour battery life ; The best screen on a laptop

Expensive ; Price rise for UK and Australia

The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) is a fantastic mobile workstation that brings the power of the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips to a compact and portable laptop. It keeps the same design as the 2021 model, but that's no bad thing given the brilliant screen...

Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2023) review

Since Apple switched to its own chips, its computers have become more powerful while becoming significantly more energy efficient, an equation that Intel has not been able to achieve

Powerful ; Long battery life ; Stylish, compact & light ; Great screen

Price

Yes, it’s expensive, but damn what a computer it is! Apple’s new SoC (system on chip) M3 Max is blazingly fast and still the most energy efficient in its class. There’s no other computer besides Apple’s that offers the same high performance with the...

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3, late 2023)

(Rating Hidden)

The late-2023 14-inch MacBook is now the cheapest model – or, we should say, least expensive – in the Apple laptop range. With a huge price increase over the previous generation, expectations are rightly set high for this all-metal laptop. We've put it...

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M2 Pro, early 2023)

(Rating Hidden)

The 2023 14-inch MacBook Pro is a laptop with a mighty specification and an equally impressive price. It has potential to be the ultimate portable powerhouse but, when it costs this much, things will have to be as close to laptop perfection as can be....

Apple M3 MacBook Pro review: Opt for the lower spec sets and you have an affordable powerhouse with heaps of battery life

A well-built M3-powered MacBook that your small business can rely on – just be careful with your configuration choices

Stunning display ; Super M3 processor ; Decent typing experience ; Long battery life

Top spec model is extremely expensive

Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro (M3) review: Good intentions

This or a MacBook Air? Answers inside the review. #apple #m3 #macbookpro #applesilicon

Excellent performance from M3 ; Very long battery life ; Gorgeous display ; Class-leading build quality ; 512GB of storage as standard ; USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports ; Great keyboard and trackpad ; Superb speakers

Only 8GB of memory ; Only supports one external display ; Upgrade options are pricey ; Display still has blooming issues ; Not available in Space Black

The TL;DR version: The entry-level MacBook Pro finally gets the update it deserves, and it’s an extremely capable machine. The only downer is that it only comes with 8GB of memory as standard.
