Apple's second Apple Event of the past *checks notes* two months welcomed new MacBook Pros with several iterations of the new M3 chip — scary fast processing appropriately unleashed at the official "Scary Fast" Halloween Eve event.

The two real stars of the show were the Pros featuring the advanced M3 Pro and the super advanced M3 Max chips. Both can live in a 14-inch or 16-inch Pro, and both come in the one shade that could be sleeker than Space Grey: Space Black, baby.

One word to sum the M3 generation up? Power. Apple wasn't shy about the fact that these are the most powerful MacBooks ever built by a long shot, operating up to 2.5 times faster than the already-fast M1 Max chip and up to 11 times faster than the older Intel-based MacBook Pros. The liquid retina XDR display is also more vivid, offering 1600 nits of peak brightness in HDR and 600 nits in SDR.

As for the differences between the two, the M3 Max is available with a 14- or 16-core CPU (compared to the M3 Pro's 12-core CPU), 30- or 40-core GPU (compared to the M3 Pro's 18-core GPU), up to 48GB of Unified Memory (compared to the M3 Pro's 18GB or 36GB), and 1TB of SSD storage (compared to the M3 Pro's 512GB SSD). The Max is the beast to trust for the most intense workflows — we're talking to you, machine learning programmers, 3D artists, video editors, and MATLAB masters.
