With the arrival of M3 chips, it’s harder than ever to pick a MacBook Pro. Should you get the 14-inch or 13-inch version? Our guide has the answers.
Apple has finally updated its MacBook Pro models to the latest M3 series of chips, but in doing so, it has totally ditched the 13-inch model. While that means just the 14-inch MacBook Pro will be available going forward, you can still pick up the 13-inch MacBook Pro with older chips from third-party retailers. So, which should you buy?
Related That means its price is higher — its starts at $1,599. The 13-inch MacBook Pro, meanwhile, starts at $1,299 where available. Despite that, the 14-inch MacBook Pro actually represents a better value. Apple didn’t compare the M3 to the M2, frustratingly, but it did draw some comparisons to the M1 chip that’s in older versions of the 13-inch MacBook Pro. According to Apple, the M3 is up to 60% faster than the M1. Since the M2 wasn’t a huge leap over the M1, we’d expect the M3 to be noticeably faster than the best chip you can get in the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
In terms of ports, you’ll get far more choice with the 14-inch MacBook Pro, which is outfitted with a MagSafe 3 charging port, three Thunderbolt 4 slots, an SDXC card reader, an HDMI port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The smaller MacBook Pro, on the other hand, is limited to two Thunderbolt 4 slots and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
In the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the previous M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, Apple said you’d get up to 18 hours of Apple TV playback or up to 12 hours of web browsing. Those figures now stand at 22 hours and 15 hours respectively for the M3 chip, and 18 hours and 12 hours with the new M3 Pro and M3 Max chips.
