The shiny new model of Apple’s incredible professional laptop scored highly in ourMacBook Pro 14-inch review, where we praised its phenomenal performance and battery life.

The current cheapest option from Apple’s current-gen MacBook Pro lineup, this entry-level model comes with the standard M3 chip (also seen in the excellent MacBook Air) along with 8GB of unified memory and the same 512GB drive. Normally we’d say 8GB of RAM isn’t enough for a work laptop, but since Apple’s unified memory works a little differently to conventional RAM, it’s not such a big concern here.

Apple’s M3-series silicon represents a larger step forward than the generational performance gap we saw between M1 and M2, and the built-in Neural Engine for handling dedicated AI workloads makes this a future-proofed choice of laptop as AI tools seep into more and more aspects of our daily digital lives.

Of course, it’s also just a truly lovely piece of kit. Those who know my writing well know that I’m a bit of an Apple cynic, but that’s aimed more toward predatory pricing and iPhone shenanigans: the MacBook Pro is a gorgeous bit of hardware, and the all-metal exterior means that it’s also more durable than many of thebest laptopson the market.

Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s still a seriously premium laptop with a price tag to match, but these deals help cushion that blow to your wallet a little – and frankly make it genuinely good value for users who need a work laptop that can go the distance, since the battery life on offer here is some of the best in the business.
