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 MacBook Pro 14-inch (M2 Max) review: hotter, faster, better

 

The new 14-inch M2 Max MacBook Pro lives up to the promise of more performance, but not without a trade-off.

M2 Max boosts graphics Incredible XDR display Really impressive speakers Good 1080p webcam Battery life is even better

Runs hotter and louder

“The M2 Max MacBook Pro runs hotter, but delivers better performance and battery life too.”

Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2023) review: entry-level enigma

 

Goodbye, 13-inch MacBook Pro. I will not miss your cramped screen and Touch Bar. Hello, 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro, the new entry-level Pro on the block.

Great performance ; Long battery ; A worthy new entry-level Pro ; It’s exactly what you want it to be

Starting with 8GB of RAM is silly ; Picking the M3 means losing a Thunderbolt port ; No space black, really?

Gripes aside, I’ve been very happy using this as my daily driver for the past week. Whichever way you fall, I think you’ll ultimately be happy with either 16GB machine. So, even though I very much believe no one with an M1 or M2 needs to upgrade for...

MacBook Pro 14 (M3, 2023) review: Best in class

 

The base level MacBook Pro 14 is a straight up powerhouse

Excellent overall performance ; Solid gaming performance ; Stunning design ; Comfortable keyboard ; Incredible endurance

No Face ID ; Distracting notch

The MacBook Pro 14 has only gotten better with the addition of Apple’s new M3 chip, which delivers better overall and gaming performance than its predecessor with even longer battery life.

MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) review: Best in class

 

The new MacBook Pro 14-inch stands alone as the laptop du jour for mobile professionals, content creators and yes even gamers thanks to the powerful new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips.

Impressive performance ; Over 14 hours of battery life ; Great port selection ; Beautifully vibrant display with crisp detail ; Excellent audio

Expensive ; Off-putting notch ; Still no Face ID

Powered by the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips, the new MacBook Pro 14-inch is faster and more powerful than any 14-inch on the market. Throw in over 14 hours of battery life in you've got a nearly perfect laptop on your hands.
