  • NegativeAs with the Macbook Air, no standard version with 16 GB RAM

The Macbook Pro M3 14-inch is a worthy successor to the Macbook Pro 13-inch and offers significant added value compared to its predecessor in terms of display, speakers, connections and Wi-Fi. The "Pro" in the name is now more justified, even if it is more economically equipped compared to the other Pro models. But it also costs less.
