Apple just announced a new entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M3 chip, but because it uses the same design as Apple’s recent 14-inch MacBook Pros, that means the OLED Touch Bar has been replaced with physical keys.
Apple is finally moving on from the Touch Bar. The company has just announced a new entry-level version of the 14-inch MacBook Pro, replacing the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar keyboard. This new model has the standard M3 chip; the 14-inch model previously was only available with the higher-end Pro or Max chips. The biggest news about this new MacBook Pro is the M3 chip.
However, the new specs mean a higher starting price, too. This M3 MacBook Pro will start at $1,599, which is up $300 from the M2 MacBook Pro’s starting cost of $1,299. It also includes just 8GB of RAM in its base configuration, which is low considering the laptop’s premium price. You also can’t get it in Apple’s new space black color; that’s reserved for the higher-end 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros with the M3 Pro and M3 Max, which still start at $1,999.
