Apple introduces its most expensive laptop in India; the MacBook Pro with M3 chipset now costs Rs 7.19 lakh

New Delhi: During the Scary Fast event yesterday, Apple announced numerous new items, including the MacBook Pro with M3 CPUs and other upgrades. When Apple releases a new product, the greatest attention is focused on the most expensive option, as is customary.

The new M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max Chipsets are in the 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro and other versions. The M3 series gives the MacBook Pro additional performance and amazing new features with a next-generation GPU architecture and faster CPU.

The 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Pro enable users to handle more demanding workloads with enhanced performance and unified memory support.

Features

The MacBook Pro with M3 Max has a monster GPU, a fast CPU, and up to 128GB of unified memory, allowing users to perform extreme workloads and multitask between professional applications. Space black, a stylish black aluminium finish, is now available on the M3 Pro and M3 Max.

All MacBook Pro versions include a 1080p camera, a six-speaker audio system, a plethora of ports, and a dazzling Liquid Retina XDR display that is 20 per cent brighter than SDR material.

With up to 22 hours of battery life, the range delivers the ultimate in-pro mobility, giving the same performance whether plugged in or on batteries, so users can take their workspaces easily.

The most pleasant Halloween surprise has been the drop in prices of the new MacBook Pro models – MacBook shipments have been tanking, so price cuts look like they have been necessary – despite the inclusion of the new more expensive to make M3 series chips. #AppleEvent… pic.twitter.com/HG7jreBZG8

The 16-inch MacBook Pro was the first Apple laptop to include the high-end M3 Max CPU, and it was equipped with a whopping 48GB of RAM and a massive 1TB of SSD storage. The starting price for the basic variant of this supercar is a hefty Rs 3.99 lakh.

As expected, the cost increases as more features are added to the 16-inch MacBook Pro. For those who require even more processing power, this model can be customised with up to 128GB of RAM, but this additional performance increase comes at an extra cost of Rs 1 lakh, culminating in a total price of Rs 4.99 lakh.

The price of the top-of-the-line 16-inch MacBook Pro with 8TB SSD storage is a whopping Rs 7.19 lakh. With this configuration, the MacBook Pro is the most expensive and powerful model in India.

Apple provides pre-installed versions of expensive professional apps like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for pros and enthusiasts. Final Cut Pro is Rs 29,900, and Logic Pro costs Rs 19,900. The 16-inch MacBook Pro is the best option for individuals who place a premium on speed and capabilities, but the price jumps to a hefty Rs 7.67 lakh if you choose both powerful software suites.

Literally after working 70 hours a week, I finally bought my dream laptop, 1st Apple purchase & also the most expensive tech gadget yet. 😍

However, Apple has also considered the common user who may not require such high-end specs.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro, powered by the M3 CPU, begins at Rs 1,69,900, giving a good combination of performance and affordability. For those who value reliability above flashy extras, the M3 Pro model’s asking price of Rs 1,99,900 makes it a competitive option among MacBooks.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Max, which includes an 8TB SSD and 128GB of RAM, can be purchased for Rs 6,89,900.

Everyone from professionals who need maximum speed and storage to students on a tight budget may find what they’re looking for in Apple’s current MacBook Pro series. The new MacBook Pro is now available for preorder and will ship to customers on November 7.
