After 2 years the base M3 MacBook Pro 14" finally got a much deserved redesign... and of course a new chip to go along with it. But for $1600, are you really getting your money's worth with this base M3 chip? In this video I test the brand new M3 MacBook Pro 14" (8gb), briefly running benchmarks and more importantly real-world creative workflows to see where the chip stacks up alongside the M2 MacBook Air (8gb) and the cheapest space black M3 Pro MacBook Pro (18gb). Spoiler alert: benchmarks aren't everything! The results here are definitely interesting...
