The entry 14” Pro — XDR display and pro ports, base M3 chip.
14-inch MacBook Pro M3
The base M3 is the 14” Pro for people who want the screen and the ports, not the Pro chip — the same Liquid Retina XDR, HDMI, SD slot and MagSafe in the same chassis, and it runs silent for everyday and office work. Pick 16GB or 24GB. A+++

Common Questions
Is the 14” M3 worth buying in 2026?
Yes — it's the cheapest way into Apple's current Pro chassis: a 14.2” Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion, HDMI and SD card built in, Wi-Fi 6E, a 1080p camera and studio mics, with the 3-nanometer M3 doing everyday, office, photo and development work in silence. It runs the latest macOS 27 Golden Gate.
M3 vs M3 Pro — what do I give up?
The base M3 has an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU against the M3 Pro's 11- or 12-core CPU, tops out at 24GB memory rather than 36GB, has two Thunderbolt ports instead of three, and drives one external display (a second with the lid closed) instead of two. For browsing, Office, photo editing, music and most development that difference never shows; for 4K multicam, heavy After Effects or larger local AI models, step up to the M3 Pro.
Should I choose 8GB, 16GB or 24GB?
8GB is fine for browsing, email, Office and streaming. Choose 16GB if you edit photos, code, or keep a lot of apps and tabs open at once, and 24GB for large Lightroom or Photoshop files, Docker and VMs, or small local AI models. Memory can't be upgraded later, so buy the amount you'll need.
What's the difference between Fair, Good and Excellent?
Purely cosmetic — every Mac is fully tested and works perfectly regardless of grade. Fair has noticeable scratches or light dents (our best value), Good shows light signs of use, and Excellent looks like new. See our grading guide with photos.
What ports does it have, and how many monitors can it drive?
Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 (USB-C), full-size HDMI, an SDXC card slot, MagSafe 3 charging and a headphone jack — no dongles required. It drives one external display at up to 6K/60Hz, or two with the laptop lid closed.
What's included, and what about warranty and delivery?
Every Mac comes with a fully compatible charger, a 12-month RTB hardware warranty, 14-day returns, an 85%+ battery-health guarantee (under 400 charge cycles; listings marked Strong have 90%+ health, and those marked 100% have a new or as-new original battery under 50 cycles) and free insured next-day UK delivery on weekdays.
14” MacBook Pro M3 or 15” MacBook Air M3 — same chip, which one?
Same M3 chip, so everyday speed is the same. Pick the 14” Pro for the brighter mini-LED XDR display with ProMotion 120Hz, built-in HDMI and SD slot, better speakers and a fan that keeps long exports and builds at full speed. Pick the 15” Air for a bigger, lighter, fanless machine at a lower price.
