The Apple MacBook Pro "M3" 8-Core CPU/10-Core GPU 14-Inch (Late 2023) model features a 4.05 GHz Apple M3 processor with eight cores (4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores), a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, a default 8 GB of "unified" onboard RAM (default 8 GB or 16 GB starting on March 4, 2024), and a 512 GB or 1 TB onboard SSD. Both the RAM and the SSD could be custom configured with higher end options at the time of initial system purchase, but not upgraded subsequently.

Offered in silver (pictured) and a darker "Space Gray" color (but not "Space Black"), this notebook has an integrated 1080p FaceTime HD webcam, a "high-fidelity six-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers," a backlit "Magic Keyboard" with a "Touch ID" sensor, and a large "Force Touch" trackpad.

Additionally, it has a high-resolution LED-backlit 14.2" widescreen 3024x1964 (254 ppi, 1000 nits sustained, 1600 nits peak HDR, 600 nits SDR, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio) "Liquid Retina XDR" display, and a integrated battery that provides an Apple estimated 15-22 hours of runtime.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3, two Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB-C connector), an HDMI 2.1 port, an SDXC-capable SD card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a "MagSafe 3" power connector.

Compared to its predecessor, this entry-level 14" "Late 2023" MacBook Pro model has a bigger screen, a faster processor, and more advanced connectivity, but drops the "Touch Bar" and has reduced battery life in some tasks.
