But what most people don’t know is that the sameMacBook Pro Laptop M3 chip laptop with 16GB RAMand 1TB SSD storage is also on sale for$1,399(originally $1,999), and it’s actually amuchbetter deal.
At its current price, it’s at the lowest price it has been since its release, according toprice-tracking tools.
The cheaper M3 chip MacBook Pro that sold out starts with the same 8core CPU and 10core GPU, but more importantly, an 8 GB RAM that will beoutdated pretty quickly,as tech writer Pranay Parab pointed out (it honestly already feels outdated).
For the extra $300, it’s possible for you to double the memory to 16 GB and double the storage to 1TB SSD.
Here are the specs:
8-core CPU
10-core GPU
16GB of RAM
1TB SSD
A 16GB RAM laptop has unofficially become the standard for decent memory that will keep up with multitasking, graphic design, video editing, coding, or any demanding task.
As Pranay says, if you dont plan to swap out your laptop every few years, bumping up the RAM is a great way to future-proof your Mac.
As Mashable points out in theirreview of the M3 chip MacBook Pro, this laptop has an impressive battery life of nearly 17 hours on a single charge, a familiar design compared to previous models with much faster performance, and it has great speakers.
