Apple‘s “Scary Fast” Mac event is now in the books, and we got a new Apple silicon chip out of it, alongside a refreshed line of computers based on the new 3nm processor.

The event introduced three new chips in the M3 family — namely, the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Pro Max — as well as two devices to usher them into the market. Both 14- and 16-inch models of the MacBook Pro have been updated with M3 chips, while the 24-inch iMac gets an M3 version, which Apple says should be two times faster than its two-year-old predecessor with an M1 chip.

Unfortunately, the American tech giant didn’t announce a bigger iMac model. It’s still colorful, that’s for sure — with the option to purchase the M3-based all-in-one computer in seven different colors: blue, green, orange, pink, purple, silver, and yellow. All retain the white bezels, 1080p webcam, USB port configurations, and 4.5K Retina display of the previous generation. And, yes, they still ship with color-matched mice and keyboards with Lightning ports.

The 24-inch M3 iMac starts at $1,299 in the U.S. or P84,990, if you live in the Philippines. It ships stateside from November 7.

As for the new M3 MacBook Pros, both 14- and 16-inch variants can be upgraded to either an M3 Pro or M3 Max processor for “extreme workflows and multitasking across pro apps.” The M3 Pro and M3 Max models also now come in an exclusive Space Black colorway with a dark aluminum finish. Notably, the entry point into the MacBook Pro line doesn’t have a Touch Bar, which all but indicates that Apple is finally moving on from the tiny touch display, which many users have found to be more problematic and inconvenient than useful across iterations.

All MacBook Pro laptops flaunt Apple’s gorgeous Liquid Retina Display that delivers up to 20% brighter SDR content, a built-in 1080p webcam, a six-speaker sound system, a wide array of connectivity options, and up to 22 hours of battery life.

The baseline M3 MacBook Pro starts at $1,599 in the U.S or P104,990 in the Philippines. Meanwhile, the more expensive — and powerful — 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro and M3 Max are priced from $1,999 or P129,990 and $2,499 or P201,990, respectively. The M3-powered MacBook Pros are now available for preorder to customers in the states and will be released November 7th.

  • M3 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro: From P104,990 ($1,847)
