After tremendous expectation, the event Scary Fast from Apple has given us new iMac and MacBook Pro with M3 chip. There was no room for surprises or extravagant announcements despite the atypical nature of the event, both due to its timing and its duration (which lasted just 30 minutes).
The most curious thing about this launch is, without a doubt, the introduction of the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 chip. This new configuration suggests that Apple has finally decided to kill the 13-inch MacBook Pro with touchbar and M2, a model considered by many to be nonsense.
Both the iMac and the MacBook Pro with M3 can now be reserved on the Apple website. Let’s keep in mind that the all-in-one and the versions of the laptop with M3 and M3 Pro will reach customers starting next Tuesday, November 7. Those from Cupertino indicated that the MacBook Pro with M3 Max will be available “later” in November; possibly on a date near the end of the month.
