There were some fantastic price drops live on Apple’s latest MacBook Pro lineup for Memorial Day, and frankly there still is, but the entry-level variant just dropped $50 to land back within $1 of the all-time low. Amazon is now offering the entry-level 14-inch M3 variant down at $1,399.99 shipped in both silver and Space Gray after you clip the on-page coupon. Regularly $1,599, this is a solid $199 price drop, $50 under the Memorial Day deal we tracked, and the lowest price we can find – it is still up at full price via Best Buy. This deal lands within $1 of the Amazon all-time low and sits alongside ongoing deals on the rest of the lineup down below. Our hands-on look delivers on the user to experience details.
Okay so, sure, some folks are seriously up in arms about the 8GB of memory the entry-level models delivers and, at least in some cases, understandably so. It is supposed to be a pro-grade machine to some degree. But for those who are looking to land the MacBook Pro that just don’t need the M3 Pro chip or the expanded memory – you can run more than enough Logic Pro tracks and (very simple) Final Cut sessions on this thing for sure – the entry-level variant is a great machine if you ask me.
You’re still securing Apple’s latest (Mac) silicon as well as the 8‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU alongside that sweet 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display. Not to mention 22 hours of battery life, the MagSafe charging port (I love this thing), Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and a 1080p FaceTime HD camera.
But just keep in mind, if you’re not particularly partial to Apple’s pro-grade laptop lineup, you can score the new 13-inch MacBook Air with M3 and double the memory at $1,349 right now, or $150 off the regular $1,500 price tag.
Here’s a quick rundown of the some of the other price drops we are tracking on other configurations in the M3 and M3 Pro MacBook Pro lineup right now:
