And while Apple quotes the same &#8220;up to 22 hours of battery life&#8221; for all of the new MacBook Pro models, in the real world, the M3 should give you a bit more runtime than the M3 Pro or Max.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1979527#p3\">Read 8 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1979527&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1979527\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple overhauls MacBook Pro lineup with M3 chips and a new entry-level option<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple leans into its event&#8217;s spooky vibes with the new space black version of the MacBook Pro.
