along withM3 series processorsApple also announced the launch of new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, and also launched a new Space Black color option. It also confirmed that it will no longer update the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro (which has been removed from Apple's official website). In the future, the entry-level MacBook Pro will be replaced by a 14-inch model.
In terms of overall appearance, the new MacBook Pro basically maintains the same design, with 14-inch and 16-inch models still divided into different models. The main feature is the replacement of the new M3 series processor, and the new space black color option is available for the high-end 14-inch and 16-inch models.
效能表現方面，蘋果表示在圖像特效處理方面，搭載M3處理器的14吋MacBook Pro，將比搭載M2處理器的13.3吋MacBook Pro快40%，更比搭載M1處理器的13.3吋MacBook Pro快60%。
In terms of image processing, the 3-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the M16 Pro processor will be 2% faster than the 16-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the M20 Pro processor, and 1% faster than the 16-inch MacBook Pro equipped with the M40 Pro processor.
When rendering scenes through Cinema 4D, the 3-inch MacBook Pro with the M16 Max processor will be 2 times faster than the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Max processor, and 1 times faster than the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M2.5 Max processor.
As for battery life, Apple claims that the new MacBook Pro can provide more than 22 hours of battery life, which means it can support a full day of work use.
In addition, the entry-level MacBook Pro model will mainly be a 14-inch model, so the entry-level specifications will start from the most basic processor equipped with a total of 8 core CPUs and 10 core GPUs, while the memory is configured with 8GB of capacity and the storage capacity starts from 512GB. As for the Thunderbolt 4 port, there are 2 sets, and the body provides HDMI output, SDXC memory card slot, and is equipped with the new MagSafe 3 magnetic charging port, and the USB-C power supply corresponds to 70W of power supply power.
至於14吋機種則要選擇配置11組核心CPU與14組核心GPU設計的M3 Pro處理器規格版本，才會配置18GB記憶體與3組Thunderbolt 4連接埠。最高可選規格則是14組核心CPU與30組核心GPU設計的M3 Max處理器，搭配36GB記憶體，而配置USB-C電源供應器則是96W規格。
而16吋機種則從配置12組核心CPU與18組核心設計GPU的M3 Pro處理器規格起跳，配置18GB記憶體與512GB儲存容量，預設搭載3組Thunderbolt 4連接埠，另外配置140W USB-C電源供應器。至於最高規格部分，則可選擇16組核心CPU與40組核心設計GPU的M3 Max處理器，搭配48GB記憶體與1TB儲存容量。
If customized, both the 14-inch and 16-inch models can be configured with up to 128GB of memory and 8TB of storage capacity.
However, the inclusion of the entry-level M3 processor option in the 14-inch MacBook Pro model means that Apple will replace the long-standing 14-inch MacBook Pro with a 13.3-inch model, and use the 14-inch design as a new entry-level option for MacBook Pro-level models. As for the entry-level option for all MacBook models, the current main option is the MacBook Air equipped with an M2 processor., or the 12-inch model that may be launched next.
The new 14-inch MacBook Pro will start at US$1599, with a starting price of NT$54900 in Taiwan and NT$51500 for the education model. The 16-inch model will start at US$2499, with a starting price of NT$84900 in Taiwan and NT$78100 for the education model.
Both MacBook Pro models will be available for pre-order in the US market starting October 10th, and will be available for order in the Taiwan market at a later date.
