After months of researching, I decided to make the switch to a Mac. Windows laptops never worked for me, and since I already have several Apple products, it felt like the right choice. Hoping for a good experience with it for years ahead.
I’m in the same boat! I’ve been saving up since March. Windows has been frustrating during university, and I’m graduating soon. I just ordered the MacBook Pro 16 inch with M3 Pro, 36GB RAM, and 512 storage. Can’t wait for it to arrive.
By the way, I know the M4 is coming, but I got a great deal on the M3, and it’s a big upgrade from my current ASUS with an i7 chip.
@Mia
Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about your choice. You got a great machine, and even if M4 is just around the corner, it’s 1.) pricier and 2.) doesn’t offer much improvement.
Congrats, enjoy your new Mac.
@Adrian
The M3 is actually less expensive with 16GB RAM included. The performance leap is significant since the M1, so it’s the best chip Apple has made so far. I think the person should have waited a bit longer.
If you are in the Apple ecosystem, MacBooks are the best. They keep you connected. Plus, there’s a cool feature that lets you use your iPhone on your MacBook when your phone is charging.

You spent months researching and got the M3 with Black Friday and Cyber Monday just around the corner? And with the M4 announcement coming soon?
Black Friday and Cyber Monday usually don’t have that big of a price drop.
@Ollie
I agree that many Black Friday and Cyber Monday ‘sales’ are just clever marketing. But for Apple products at Best Buy, BH Photo Video, or Amazon, they often have the best prices of the year. For the M3 MacBook Pro 14" model, it will likely drop to $1499 or less.

I don’t think that’s too low. That’s too cheap for what you’re getting.
It’s $1299 on Amazon right now, but I got it during Prime Day.
Are you saying the 8GB RAM variant is $1299 on Amazon? That’s not a smart buy; watch this video to see the difference between 8GB and 16GB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmWPd7uEYEY.
