Portable Mac for work and media creation
The late-2023 14-inch MacBook Pro pairs the base M3 chip with a Liquid Retina XDR display. It suits everyday work, study and photo or video projects that benefit from a bright screen and dedicated media hardware. The catalog configuration has 8GB of unified memory, so consider your multitasking and project size before choosing it.

Bright HDR display, smooth scrolling
The 3024×1964 screen supports adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz and wide P3 color. Apple specifies 600 nits for ordinary SDR content, with up to 1000 nits sustained and 1600 nits peak reserved for HDR.

Hardware for common video formats
M3 accelerates H.264, HEVC and ProRes video work and adds AV1 decoding. Its 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU provide a compact platform for editing and playback; demanding projects still need enough memory for the workload.

Useful ports with a display limit
HDMI, an SDXC card slot and two Thunderbolt/USB4 ports reduce adapter needs, while MagSafe handles charging separately. Base M3 supports one external screen while the built-in display is in use; using a second external screen requires closing the lid.
