The brand new MacBook Professional 14-inch with M3 Professional chip has been declared by DxOMark as one of the best laptop computer ever for its show, digicam and speaker setup – and a high efficiency for watching movies and listening to music consequently.
DxOMark, a widely known web site for digicam (plus shows and audio system) evaluations – primarily coping with smartphones, but in addition laptops – gave this new Apple mannequin the very best ranking ever, inserting it on the high of the pocket book rankings. The M3 MacBook Professional reached a rating of 148.
New high rating warning within the #DXOMARK laptop computer rating! 🚨 @Apple #MacBookPro14M3Pro (2023) rises to the highest with a complete rating of 148 and only one level forward of the MacBook Professional 14″ (2023). 🍎 💻 Missed the product evaluation? https://t.co/ShJSplN6bR pic.twitter .com/qxU51d68fK28 November 2023
It was rated high canine for watching movies and listening to music, a class the place the MacBook Professional 14-inch achieved a rating of 154. It additionally topped the rankings for its digicam (rating 135), with DxOMark noting that it supplied: “Nice digicam picture element and management over visible noise in video calls.”
After which the show scored 156, which was additionally high of the category.
The laptop computer presents “best-in-class music and video use-case efficiency” in addition to advantages from “excellent audio dynamics and comfy tonal stability” in response to DxOMark.
There have been some niggles, nevertheless, particularly “problem dealing with duplex speech throughout video calls” and a “lack of saturation and distinction in SDR video playback.”
Though that is clearly a powerful efficiency in these facets from the MacBook Professional 14-inch M3, we should keep in mind that its predecessor MacBook Professional 14-inch with M2 (launched originally of 2023) scored solely a single level decrease. It was rated 147 in comparison with a rating of 148 for the M3 laptop computer, so there’s not a lot distinction total.
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 trying barely higher with the brand new MacBook Professional (though nonetheless not excellent, missing just a little within the saturation and distinction departments), and DxOMark complained that the bass was a bit resonant with the M2 MacBook Professional, however not with the brand new M3 mannequin.
The marginally extra refined bass may maybe be because of enhancements with the M3 chip, in addition to the opposite enhancements that DxOMark has picked up right here. In fact, now we have to keep in mind that Apple has used the identical digicam, speaker setup and show elements within the MacBook Professional M3, so the good points come from tweaks elsewhere – and which will embrace small tweaks to the interior structure.
Word that whereas the M3 mannequin’s chassis is identical, and iFixit discovered the interior structure to be largely an identical in its teardown, there have been small tweaks right here and there – which is perhaps helpful for the slight taming of bass?
Both manner, there appears to be a modest step ahead with the MacBook Professional M3 when it comes to media consumption, and we agree with that in our evaluation of the brand new MacBook Professional 14-inch (in addition to our write-up of the 16-inch mannequin for for that matter).
