Base unit 14” MacBook Pro got a massive price reduction from 8299 to 7499 - very nice! Apple is pushing their laptops hard!

Correct, and for most users, M3 and M3 Pro won't have big differences. The reduced price means that those considering to buy 15-inch Macbook Air M2 will jump to slightly more expensive 14-inch Macbook Pro M3 instead for the XDR display, headphone jack, and other goodies on the Pro.

Actually most casual users will find even the M1 is fast enough, hahaha…. Anyways, I intend to use my MacBook Pro M1 Pro for at least 7 years before my next change - just like I did my 2014 MacBook Air, hahaha…

Casual users definitely find M1 fast enough, but if Apple really wanted to kill the Windows Prosumers laptop market, they should release 14-inch Macbook Pro at USD 999 (RM4399) but with M1 (no Pro, no Max) chip. 😝

Since most buyers want the Pro for the ports, speakers and Display (also the Pro name).

Basically Apple making Macbook Pro lineup more like iPhone Pro.

If they killed the Touchbar Macbook Pro in M3,

That means they'll be killing the non-Magsafe Macbook Air soon next year, to replace with all MagSafe Macbook Air lineup 🤔

The black look nice.

Need to hold, wait for next year, only upgrade if it is OLED screen. 😅

Apple, not using OLED for Pro Macbooks, they're using miniLED on 14-inch and 16-inch Macbook Pro. Higher quality than OLED and no burn-in issue.
