Q: does it include apple guarantee?
A: All Apple products come with a 60-day AppleCare warranty. If you have the TotalTech package membership, they threw in 3 years of AppleCare+ for free. If you want to get a TV mounted or have some other use of BestBuy's package, its very much worth it. I got AppleCare+ for free with a recent MacBook Air because I had it from a TV purchase/install. So, you should ask about that to see if it works for your situation. Side note: I got this MBA before the new MBP M3s were out. I love my fan-less MBA, but i'd of probably paid extra for the MBP M3, if it was an option then.
Q: Is this HDMI Port HDMI 2.1? And 2 external monitors is the max?
A: I hope this helps. Similar to previous years, the M3 Pro and M3 Max return to both the 14” and 16” Macbook Pro featuring 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI 2.1, Magsafe, and SDCX card reader. A Macbook Pro with the M3 Pro chip can support up to 2 external displays and a Macbook Pro with the M3 Max chip can support up to 4 external displays.
Q: My daughter wants this for her photography. Would 512 GB be enough for photo editing?
A: For light to normal editing yes, for when you need to store a lot of raw files having more is better, but I recommend the 512gb and getting 1000gb to 2000gb external hard drive for like $40 and storing the files there, I use mine for extreme photo and video editing and have no issues with 512gbs because I have the external hard drive.
Q: What is the 18GB of Memory made up of?
A: Not sure if this answers your question or not but I have included some information below. The M3's Unified Memory Architecture is similar to the M2 generation; M3 SoCs use 6,400 MT/s LPDDR5 SDRAM. As with prior M series SoCs, this serves as both RAM and video RAM. The M3 has 8 memory controllers, the M3 Pro has 12 and the M3 Max has 32.
A: Yes, the chargers for MacBook Pro models sold in the United States are generally compatible with 220V power sources. They are designed with a universal power supply that supports a range of voltages, typically from 100V to 240V and a frequency range of 50Hz to 60Hz. This means you can use them in countries with 220V electricity by simply using an appropriate plug adapter for the specific country's socket type. However, it's always a good idea to check the specifications on your specific charger to confirm.
A: Open-box Macs are usually reset to factory standards. Apple-refurbished Macs come with the same warranty as a new Mac. When I have purchased open-box Macs from Best Buy, if there was an issue with the warranty already being activated, a call to Apple usually solved it. Making a copy of the receipt and sending it to Apple (after the phone call, of course) will take care of it.
Q: If i purchase the Apple-MacBook without Apple care, what is the factory warranty?
A: The factory warranty is a limited one-year warranty on very basic defects and usually does not cover accidental damage or theft. You do not have to buy Apple Care right away with your purchase, you have 60 days from the purchase date to add apple care to the device. You can do this from your device or you can go to an Apple Store and add it in store, you'll just need your device added to Find My so they can pull your serial number. You do not have to have the device with you. You have the option of purchasing - Monthly, Yearly, or 3 Years. The 3 year option saves you around $30. Apple Care is available to extend after the it expires but only for a limited time. I would suggest getting apple care on these larger investment devices. Just in case something happens you'll know that you won't be paying the retail price to replace it IF even at all.
Q: Can I order with French keyboard?
A: If you're looking to order a different keyboard then you'll have to order directly from Apple. If you have an Apple ID already then you should contact apple via the support chat for them to custom order you one OR to show how to order one through their site. Generally different language keyboards are not available in store due to demand.

Perfect for everything
Design and Build Quality The new M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch continues Apple's tradition of sleek, minimalist design. The build quality is exemplary, with a sturdy aluminum chassis that feels both premium and durable. It's slightly heavier than its predecessors, but this is hardly noticeable in daily use. The Space Gray finish gives it a professional and modern look. Performance The M3 Pro chip is a game-changer. It offers significant improvements in both CPU and GPU performance compared to the M1 and M2 series. This is especially noticeable in demanding tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, and professional-grade software. The efficiency of the M3 Pro also means that the MacBook runs cooler and quieter under load. Display The 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display is stunning. The colors are vibrant, and the contrast ratio is excellent, making it ideal for photo and video editing. The ProMotion technology, with up to 120Hz refresh rate, ensures smooth scrolling and a more responsive feel in use. Battery Life One of the most impressive aspects of the M3 Pro MacBook Pro is its battery life. Despite its powerful performance, it easily lasts through a full day of mixed usage, which is a significant advantage for professionals and students alike. Keyboard and Trackpad The Magic Keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions, with a responsive and tactile feel. The trackpad is large, precise, and supports a variety of multi-touch gestures, making it one of the best in the market. Ports and Connectivity Apple has listened to user feedback, bringing back an HDMI port, an SD card slot, and MagSafe charging, in addition to the Thunderbolt 4 ports. This greatly enhances the MacBook's connectivity and reduces the need for dongles. Software and Ecosystem Running on macOS, the integration with the Apple ecosystem is seamless. Features like Universal Control and AirDrop are convenient for those who use multiple Apple devices. The M3 Pro MacBook Pro handles macOS updates smoothly, ensuring a secure and up-to-date experience. Price The only significant downside is the price. The M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch is a high-end device with a price tag to match. It's an investment, particularly if you opt for upgraded storage or memory. Conclusion The M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch is a powerhouse suited for professionals who need top-tier performance, exceptional battery life, and a best-in-class display. While the price is steep, the investment is justified for those who require its advanced capabilities and value the Apple ecosystem.

I’ve been using the MacBook Pro for several months now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made. This machine is an absolute beast when it comes to performance, and it handles everything I throw at it with ease. Whether I’m editing high-resolution videos, multitasking with dozens of tabs open, or running demanding software, the MacBook Pro never skips a beat. One of the standout features is its reliability. I’ve never experienced a single hang, crash, or slowdown, even during the most intensive tasks. The M3 pro chip (depending on your model) is a game-changer, delivering lightning-fast speeds and incredible efficiency. The battery life is equally impressive, easily lasting me through a full day of work without needing a charge. The build quality is top-notch, as expected from Apple. The sleek, minimalist design feels premium, and the Retina display is stunning—colors are vibrant, and the clarity is unmatched. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the trackpad is the best I’ve ever used, with smooth and precise responsiveness. What really sets the MacBook Pro apart is how seamlessly it integrates into my workflow. Whether I’m working on creative projects, coding, or just browsing the web, it consistently delivers a smooth and enjoyable experience. It’s the kind of device that just works, without any fuss or frustration. It is worth every penny. It’s powerful, reliable, and beautifully designed. If you’re looking for a laptop that gets the job done without any compromises, this is it. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

The 14” display is vibrant and sharp, delivering a breathtaking experience whether I’m editing videos, designing, or just streaming content. The M3 Pro chip is a game-changer. It’s incredibly fast and energy-efficient, and I’ve noticed significantly longer battery life compared to my previous MacBook. The 512GB SSD ensures quick access to files and plenty of storage space for my work needs. Overall, this laptop is worth every penny. Whether you’re a creative professional, a student, or just someone looking for a premium experience, the MacBook Pro M3 Pro sets the bar. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend it!
