Tonight, Apple presented new MacBook Pros and new iMacs with M3 processors. No other devices were presented.
An absolute upgrade recommendation for all Intel users of Macs, of course. For all M1/M2 users, a nice performance upgrade in my opinion, but not absolutely necessary. For most users, an M1 is completely sufficient. It may therefore make sense to buy an M1 model at a reduced price.
The current MacBook Air has the M2 processor and is currently the MacBook with the best price/performance ratio for me. Unfortunately, it has slightly fewer ports than the Pro models – in particular, no direct HDMI output. This means you always have to work with an adapter and the maximum you can output is another different monitor image. However, as these are rather Pro requirements that not everyone needs, the MacBook Air with M2 is currently the best device for most users. The difference to the M1 MacBook Air, which is still available, is only €100, and I would pay the extra price unless you can get an even better deal on an M1 MacBook Air from a dealer.
Here is some of the key data on the new M3 processors
- Modelle M3, M3 Pro, M3 Max
- 50% niedrigerer Energieverbauch im Vergleich zum M1
- M3 bis zu 65% schneller als der M1,
