Apple’s newest laptop joins a long line of redundant and unecessary devices.
While most of Apple’s “Scary Fast” event was predictable, there were a couple of surprises. The first was Space Black, which is easily Apple’s best laptop color in years. The other was the introduction of the new 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro for $1,599, replacing the 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro at the entry-level position.
On the surface, it seems like a great deal. You get a new design with a larger ProMotion display, an HDMI 2.1 port, and an SD card reader for just $100 more than the previous entry-level Pro with the same 512GB of storage. But when you take a step back, it gets a little more confusing. The 15-inch MacBook Air with 512GB of storage costs $1,499 but you don’t get ProMotion or the extra ports. (At the moment, it also has a slower chip in the M2, but presumably, it will be updated in a few short months.)
