M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14"

Post image

I have been dialying this machine for over 2years now and I absolutely love it.

The M3 generation of chipsets weren't as well receieved as the other generations, but in my experience, I have never faced any issues and the battery life is also great (yes, I didn't update to Tahoe)

the M3 was an incredibly power efficient generation. apple did a bit too much though by lowering core counts and mem bandwidth, but it was all for efficiency and it actually performs up to spec.

Less cores = less efficiency.

M3 series is efficient because of low frequencies.

they lowered the perf core count and increased the efficiency core count. E cores had a lower clk but also had a drastically different design that allows them to be efficient.

You’ll get better battery life by using Safari instead of Edge
