It’s hard to rationalize spending MacBook Pro M3 Pro money unless you’re some kind of power user – Final Cut editor, running massive Logic Pro sessions, intensive scientific simulations, or this kind of thing – and if you’re going to be doing that, you’ll likely need about as much RAM as you can get. That’s why, for me, Apple’s latest 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro with 36GB of memory and the 512GB SSD is one of the best configurations. And now, Amazon is offering it back down at $2,599 shipped, or $300 off the regular $2,899 price tag. This is matching the lowest price we have tracked at Amazon and lands as the lowest total we can find. For comparison’s sake, this is the same price you’ll find at Best Buy right now, but you’ll need to be a paid My Best Buy Plus member to get it. Head below for more details. 

Most folks running hardcore apps like those mentioned above will likely want to favor spending the cash on memory over storage – you’re probably already running external SSD storage anyway to store assets and project files. The MacBook Pro M3 Pro configuration featured here today accommodates just that alongside the 12‑core CPU and 18‑core GPU powering the 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display with 1,000 nits of brightness. The up to 22 hours of battery life join the 1,080p FaceTime HD camera, studio-quality three-mic array, and a six-speaker Spatial Audio sound system alongside the wonderful (trip-protected) MagSafe charging port. 

You can also add the onboard Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, an HDMI port, SDXC card slot, three Thunderbolt 4 ports for your externals, and Wi-Fi 6E support into the mix as well. 

Dive into our hands-on look at Apple’s latest pro-grade laptop right here and then scope out this ongoing $249 price drop on the more affordable 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro with 18GB of memory at $2,250. 

Apple 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro features:

The 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display features Extreme Dynamic Range, over 1000 nits of brightness for stunning HDR content, up to 600 nits of brightness for SDR content, and pro reference modes for doing your best work on the go. (The display has rounded corners at the top. When measured diagonally, the screen is 16.2 inches. Actual viewable area is less.) The Apple M3 Pro chip, with a 12-core CPU and 18-core GPU, delivers amazing performance for demanding workflows like manipulating gigapixel panoramas or compiling millions of lines of code. M3 Max, with an up to 16-core CPU and up to 40-core GPU, drives extreme performance for the most advanced workflows like rendering intricate 3D content or developing transformer models with billions of parameters.
