AFAIK is the basic configuration for the new M3 MacBook Pro a meager 8gb shared RAM with 512gb SSD for 1999 Euros (in Germany so ymmv).
But the base model M3 MBP is almost an entirely different product to the rest of the MBP lineup.
They really should’ve removed the pro moniker from that sku.
I assume it's entirely marketing bullshit, whether to say "look how cheap a MBP is!" or to make you think "wow, it's only a little bit more to get the way better model, what a bargain!"
