m3 mac reviews

After announcing its new M3 chip lineup for the Mac last week at a rare Monday evening special event, Apple has lifted the embargo on the first media reviews.

The first 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M3 and 24-inch iMac with M3 reviews by hand-picked media are now available. As expected, they are all mostly saying the same thing: these M3 Macs are the best and fastest ever, of course (and they come with the price of your first born). What else is there to say about the lead that Apple Silicon has right now?
