If you need something with more boost, definitely choose the M3 Pro chip or M3 Max chipset. If you're choosing either of the two premium chipsets, you can pick the new space black color for your MacBook. The regular M3 MacBook is only available in silver and space grey colors.

You can choose between two colors (including the new space black) and two storage capacities.
