I was delighted when I first heard that the M2 MacBook Pro 13-inch was being replaced by the M3 MacBook Pro 14-inch. Finally, an entry-level MacBook Pro that actually felt “pro,” thanks to the screen, ports, and premium design. But after considering it, I have to admit that even the M3 MacBook Pro 14-inch remains bewildering. Sitting in-between the Air and Pro, it will undoubtedly make some buyers curious due to its name. But as far as I can suss out, it’s hard to deduce just who exactly this laptop is for. Peel back the layers, though, and you’ll see…
