On Monday at its Scary Fast event, Apple announced an updated line of 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops featuring a range of new M3 chips.

At Monday's Apple Event, dubbed “Scary Fast," Apple announced an updated line of 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros featuring aApple now offers the 14-inch model with a base M3 processor for $1,599, the first time the 14-inch laptop has hit that low of a price. Previously, the older13-inch MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar came with the M2, while the 14-inch MacBook Pro started at $1,999 with the M2 Pro chip.

The fresh Space Black color option–which looks more like a matte charcoal gray in person–will be available on both 14- and 16-inch systems with M3 Pro and M3 Max chips and helps hide fingerprints better than the classic silver models. The rest of the laptops’ hardware will remain largely the same including features such as Apple’s 1080p FaceTime cameras and six-speaker sound systems.

Another important upgrade on the M3 chips is that they support hardware acceleration for both ray tracing and mesh shading. This could prove to be a massive improvement for gamers or people like animators and 3D modelers, who will be able to take advantage of the M3’s more efficient on-chip processing power in supported apps.

The new Space Black color on Apple's refreshed MacBook Pros should hide fingerprints better than traditional silver models.Pre-orders for all the new M3 MacBook Pro models go live today with M3 and M3 Pro systems shipping as soon as next week on November 7, with M3 Max configs slated to arrive slightly later next month. The 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro will start at $1,599 or $1,999 for one with an M3 Pro while the 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro will start at $2,499 .
