Evaluation: One small step for MacBook media consumption

Whereas that is clearly a formidable efficiency in these points from the MacBook Professional 14-inch M3, we must always keep in mind that its predecessor MacBook Professional 14-inch with M2 (launched initially of 2023) solely scored a single level decrease. It was rated at 147, in comparison with a 148 end result for the M3 laptop computer, so there’s not a whole lot of distinction general.

Nevertheless, there’s a extra pronounced hole for the music and video class the place the M3 scores 154 in comparison with 149 for its M2 predecessor. The notable variations are SDR movies wanting a bit higher with the brand new MacBook Professional (although they’re nonetheless not good, missing a bit within the saturation and distinction departments), and DxOMark complained concerning the bass being barely resonant with the M2 MacBook Professional, however not with the brand new M3 mannequin.

That barely extra refined bass may very well be all the way down to enhancements with the M3 chip, maybe, as may the opposite enhancements picked up by DxOMark right here. We must always keep in mind, after all, that Apple has used the identical digicam, speaker setup and show parts within the MacBook Professional M3, so the features are coming from refinements elsewhere – and that might embody slight tweaks to the inner format.

Observe that whereas the M3 mannequin’s chassis is similar, and iFixit discovered the inner format was just about an identical in its teardown, there have been small changes right here and there – which could be useful for that slight taming of the bass maybe?

Regardless of the case, there seems to be a modest step ahead with the MacBook Professional M3 when it comes to media consumption, and that’s one thing we agreed with in our evaluate of the brand new MacBook Professional 14-inch (in addition to our write-up of the 16-inch mannequin for that matter).
