I managed to get a base M4 Max 16 inch for £2999 from Currys. It was only up at that price for a bit before they took it down. I assumed it was a pricing error at £500 below RRP and expected it to be cancelled, but just got delivery confirmation for tomorrow! I'm upgrading from M1 Pro, so sounds like it'll be a big improvement and the £500 off helps stomach the cost of the upgrade.
- No OLED or touchscreen - No WiFi 7 - Very (!) limited gaming - Very (!) expensive extras Why bother to upgrade from a base or older model to a new one? Do people really wait that much for something doable on a Mac? 3D rendering: PC. Gaming: PC. Everything else runs great on a M1 16 GB RAM. I would go for a Mac Mini M4 base or a base MacBook Air/Pro M4.
I’ve had my MacBook 2015 for nearly 10 years. 6 years of audio work on it and it still handles basic stuff, but no high intensity programs. Finally upgrading this year.
Same! I had the 2009 14inch MacBook Pro for 6 years and plugins got more intense. Got the 2015 MacBook Pro and had that up to 2022 and got the MacBook M2 Max and that thing handles audio like a dream. I haven’t had one glitch yet in logic. I won’t upgrade until they finally get tandem OLED.
Have a 2010 macbook air that needed a new battery a few years back, but the speakers still work and the keyboard looks like new. All the keys work and none of the letters/numbers have worn off, the computer as a whole has been rock solid. Fast forward to my 2018 macbook pro and it has been garbage. The speakers are blown, the keyboard was replaced once by Apple, it is having the same problems yet again with letters wearing off, keys not working, falling off and now the battery needs replacing....so I am looking upgrading, but for the price, they should have externally replaceable batteries and the build quality should be much, much better.
@@GlobalWave1 I have reached a point where I have to upgrade from my 2015. I'm considering a refurbished Macbook Pro M2 Max but since the cost would come to 4,800 after taxes, I'm debating if buying an Macboook Pro M4 Max is a better option if I'm spending a significant amount.
NOBODY SHOULD KEEP IT FOR 5 YEARS, you buy the PRO and MAX for top grade performance, in 5years these laptops will be half as fast as a VANILLA M chip. ALWAYS BUY FOR YOUR NEEDS AND GET A NEW ONE EVERY 2-3years. Lots of people buy 2-3yo Macs on ebay. STOP WITH THIS FUTURE PROOFING BULLSHIT!!!!!
@@Thetechchap as someone who bought both m2 pro 14 inch and 16 inch back in 2023, the 16 inch a just a better computer. It still blows me away after 1 years on multiple points.

Hey, v thanks for nice presentation, I already ordered mine with nano texture and happy to see that it's working well. I was little bit afraid that will disturb the brightness and color.
7:24 Great demonstration of nano texture effect: lose some black depth if you're way off-axis, looks fine from 30 degrees off-axis, absolutely fantastic outdoors.
Macbook pros have higher memory bandwith which helps with video export. In addition, the fans of the pro models helps a ton in extended work loads, keeping the CPU and GPU cool. Also, the pro screens are better than the airs, the pros are slightly better builts, have better ports, and larger batteries. The air wins for portability and price.
Considering buying the 14” M4 Max, 16/40 cores, 64 GB RAM. Is thermal throttle an issue? I prefer portability, but will it be an issue for 2D 3D designing & rendering?

I was watching this video on my iPhone to decide what to buy and now I came back here to leave a comment on my new MBP M4 Max 16''. Thank you, you were really helpful!
I think it's funny when the Windows/spec nerds scoff at mini LED and whine about the MBPs not having OLED, but in my option the mini LED MBP displays are still the best laptop displays available, for going on 4 years. The brightness is insane, no worries about burn in or degradation, perfect color, very little blooming, and ProMotion. Having said that, when Apple finally does switch to OLED I'm sure they'll get it right, and will almost surely go with tandem OLED.
Great video, I'm planning to return my MacBook Pro, I have the same M4 max full specs as yours. After setting up and everything, first thing I did is to check Davinci resolve, I put a single 5sec clip and applied speed ramp, the thing is lagging, playback speed is 15.6-19fps from a 25fps timeline. That's not what I'm expecting with the price I paid. I'm just trying to watch more reviews to see if someone has also experienced the same. Thanks
Bought the M1 Max 64GB/4TB/32 GPU cores on release day in 2021 and never looked back. The machine still blows my mind in terms of performance, especially for being a laptop that I use from the sofa or an airplane. The 64GB on my M1 Max allows me to run a pretty good quantization of 70B Llama3.1 LLM locally - My 3 year old machine runs close-to-ChatGPT quality AI locally, for free, even on battery and disconnected from the internet! Other than that, it handles all my requirements as a developer - Running multiple virtual machines simultaneously without breaking a sweat. As for gaming, Baldur's Gate 3 runs at high quality and high fps with the right settings Judging from Geekbench 6 benchmarks, it appears that the max-specced M4 Max will be about 75% faster across the board than my machine - In terms of single-core, multi-core and GPU improvement alike. This is a crazy good improvement for 3 years, from an already crazy good starting point. What kind of use cases do people actually have to warrant an upgrade from previous generations? If you want high-fps gaming for modern games, sure, but other than that?
Looked like a 6 db difference in fan noise, which might seem negligable until you understand a 6 db increase is twice as loud. (56 db is twice as loud as 50 db - it's a logarithmic scale). Those are the absolute numbers though. Perception is a whole other dimension. Meaning it may or may not matter to you.
I want to ask about something. I am a guy who bought a 16" MacBook Pro M1 Max, and it has been very good for me all these years. So, my question is, is upgrading to the M2 Max worth it? Because all I see is that there are just new ports and a new chip.
Might have been a typo, but I see you have written M2 Max. Also, it might very well be worth it depending on what you do, for example AI work could probably get a boost from the extra maximum unified memory and the memory bandwidth. The CPU is also really fast, even faster than the Core Ultra 9 285K and Ryzen 9950X (Those are both desktop chips btw)
I don’t know which screen should i use ? Nano texture? Or standard? I just use it indoors money Is no problem Im going to use it for coding And entertaining Please help?
I’ve got M1 Max with 32gb ram and 1tb ssd and even with the speed improvements, I think I’m still sticking to it…. If the screen had changed to oled I’d have considered it seriously
Help! 🙏🏼… I found the M3 MAX 🟡 (14 CPU, 36 GB RAM, 30 GPU) … at the same price as … the M4 PRO 🟣 (24 GB, 20 GPU, 14 CPU, which Mac should I buy? 😩 Considering that the CPU speed of the M4 Pro is a little bit better than the M3 Max.
They’re not that deeply discounted tho because they’re barely a year old. And unless you’re buying Apple refurb you you don’t get a warranty with a year of free service.
LOL! My 2017 MacBook Pro (mid-spec) is still running perfectly and does everything I want. (I don't do any encoding.) If I was going to buy, it would be the Mac mini with the M4 Max chip.

Thank you. My 2012 MacBook Pro just bit the bullet last month. I was using Final Cut on it but use Davinci on my PC. I am thinking to get the MacBook Pro m4. I really don’t want to pay the crazy amount they want for the extra memory. Is the 48Gb of memory really going to be that much better than the 24Gb?
Nice. Cant afford to go for M4 Max but due an upgrade after nearly 9 years. Going for 16 inch M4 Pro. I'm not getting it for gaming but out of interest, how would you say M4 Pro vs Max compares for graphics/gaming/fps etc? Thanks
You guys living in working countries are really fortunate you know. Here in Nigeria, only the rich (politicians and corrupt government officials) and fraudsters can afford the latest techs. The diligent working class are just living from hand to mouth😢
FYI, you CAN get 240hz over usb c with that monitor, just need to set the usb bandwidth to 2.0 rather than 3.1, 2.0 is more than enough for peripherals, I have the same monitor, excellent monitor
Hilarious how Tom is all about glossy screens -- until Apple makes a matte screen, and then boom, suddenly he's a matte screen fan. When Apple finally drops their awful notch, I imagine he'll say how much better it is without the notch -- even though he's insisted so firmly that the notch is something you adjust to. Basically, any design fault in an Apple product Tom will excuse away.
@@Thetechchap Well Better display mod also allows you to modify a bunch of stuff, and even control brightness and colors of your monitor. It also give you the option to do 100% scaling pixel to pixel, so everything is super small, instead of the more room option apple gives you
I have the M1 Pro 16" base model from day-1 of release. I am feeling the performance degradation these days, and I know most of it is from memory consumption. I think the M4 Pro 48gb model is the perfect system to make the upgrade to. *Context* - I am a software engineer and do a lot of software development work (app development, AI projects) as well as the usual stuff (heavy multi-tab Chrome, Safari, productivity apps all open at once) and I feel the sluggishness now. The *3x memory size* increase is huge for me. M4 Max is probably overkill for me given I don't do video/photo editing (even though I want to start getting into that).
As we grow higher in these M chips We are getting really close to the disadvantages of a similar PC laptop. 🤔 Now, the M4 got fast enough to play more complex 3D games well, but with that power we also go the HEAT and NOISE levels of the Windows gaming laptop. Loved the way that the M1 pro in my MPB 16 was so fast and quiet and consumed hardly any power...
A Mac mini with a decent monitor screen and a iPad Pro 11 with the pencil pro would be my perfect hybrid set up. £599 / £999 / £130 + a monitor would give the MacBook Pro a run for value for money.
Makes me wonder how the other variants perform in terms of fan noise. I hope they focus on that with the re-design, optimizing the cooling, rather then trying to slim it down. But I really wish they would add a display-port. And a 4th Thunderbolt-port, or make the magsafe at least USB-4 or thunderolt 4, so it could be used both to expand the number of ports, but also for those that don't need a lot of ports, be the best possible docking solutions.
Apple seriously didn't market the nano-texture enough. If I knew it was that drastic and that good, I would have upgraded to it. I pre-ordered thinking it wouldn't be that much a difference. Major regret now...
I'm coming from a 2019 i9 16" and my 14" M4 Max 16c will be coming today. Do you think it will be AMAZINGLY FAST or IMPRESSIVELY FAST compared to my slow 2019 one?
When you compared the nano to the regular the colour on the top of your browser is completely different on the nano compared to the standard. Everything else is fine, but that looks like a big deal. Did you amend any settings or anything
For 500 frames ripple dreams on 14” 40 core gpu m3 max I got 4m 20s. This was the greatest laptop ever made until the m4 max 14” released. This is Eevee though. You really need to do a cycles test. See the time per frame difference and let me know. If you can do the classroom demo under cycles demo files in the blender page.
I am an Apple user and need to upgrade phone and tablet. Can you get the same seamless syncing across devices with a Samsung phone and tablet automatically as you can with Apple devices? Thank you for any advice on this
Under-display cameras are 2-3 years away, so Apple will keep this design until the redesign in Q4 2026. That redesign will hopefully also have Tandem OLED.
First of all, appreciate your sharing. Looks like it can make sure Thunderblot 5 can drive two monitors through the docking. hope that can have the MBP M4 test~i would like to understand whether M4 can get the same way or not~
How is the text crispness on the nano texture? Lots of concerns that it is a big compromise. However, that seemed to be based on nano-texture on other devices
CEX is good and all for your pocket and the environment. My only issue is that on two occasions they claimed my pixel 8 pro was a C grade because of a minuscule mark on the screen that not I or even they initially noticed but then sold the same phone as a B grade. They did the same with a Samsung Book 4 Pro 360 said it was B grade because the type C port I used to charge the device had a mark of the charger but then were selling the same device as A grade the very next day 😅😂. Needless to say the experience put me off.
I am replacing my 2017 iMac Pro (with a powerful eGPU) with either the M4 Max MBP or an M4 Max Studio (when available.) Although I don’t want or need a laptop, this MBP looks like it’s perfect for all the things I want to accomplish. I already have 3 Apple monitors that I currently use. I obtained the Kensington TB5 unit so I’d be good to go out of the box.
Thank you for this review!!! I was wondering about the Cinebench 24 multi-core score and the heating due to more P cores. Depends on people's tolerance for heat, but it does provide great performance that beats the best non-Apple desktop CPUs.
Thanks for the video. I'm mainly on Premiere pro. Should I get Max or Pro? If I go for max is there a significant improvement in scrubbing h265 4k 10 bits video and exporting time?
The only difference you may notice is while exporting because max models have 2 encoder and decoder engine while pro have 1... In timeline scrubbing there will be 0 difference unless you are editing 8k 120f without and proxies

Basically, any design fault in an Apple product Tom will excuse away.
do you think a new macbook m2 touchbar pro with 24gb ram and 1tb for £1400 is a good price for software development
7:39 You can use better display mod to max out the brightness to 1,000 nits and it's free.
I use vivid- similar thing
@@Thetechchap Well Better display mod also allows you to modify a bunch of stuff, and even control brightness and colors of your monitor. It also give you the option to do 100% scaling pixel to pixel, so everything is super small, instead of the more room option apple gives you
That also destroys color accuracy. I love Better Display though.
@@white.lodge.dale.cooper Yes but not as much as you think, you won’t notice
The TechChap is the best!
I have the M1 Pro 16" base model from day-1 of release.
I am feeling the performance degradation these days, and I know most of it is from memory consumption. I think the M4 Pro 48gb model is the perfect system to make the upgrade to.
*Context* - I am a software engineer and do a lot of software development work (app development, AI projects) as well as the usual stuff (heavy multi-tab Chrome, Safari, productivity apps all open at once) and I feel the sluggishness now. The *3x memory size* increase is huge for me.
M4 Max is probably overkill for me given I don't do video/photo editing (even though I want to start getting into that).
As we grow higher in these M chips We are getting really close to the disadvantages of a similar PC laptop. 🤔
Now, the M4 got fast enough to play more complex 3D games well, but with that power we also go the HEAT and NOISE levels of the Windows gaming laptop.
Loved the way that the M1 pro in my MPB 16 was so fast and quiet and consumed hardly any power...
What mic and camera did you use to make this video?
I need to get myself a deeper desk, where did you get yours?
A Mac mini with a decent monitor screen and a iPad Pro 11 with the pencil pro would be my perfect hybrid set up. £599 / £999 / £130 + a monitor would give the MacBook Pro a run for value for money.
Makes me wonder how the other variants perform in terms of fan noise. I hope they focus on that with the re-design, optimizing the cooling, rather then trying to slim it down.
But I really wish they would add a display-port. And a 4th Thunderbolt-port, or make the magsafe at least USB-4 or thunderolt 4, so it could be used both to expand the number of ports, but also for those that don't need a lot of ports, be the best possible docking solutions.
Is it worth spending money nowadays for year on year upgrades on any of the devices not only your laptops but your smartphones, headsets etc.
Does the nano display reduce specular highlights during HDR10 and Dolby Vision movie playback? thanks.
Apple seriously didn't market the nano-texture enough.
If I knew it was that drastic and that good, I would have upgraded to it. I pre-ordered thinking it wouldn't be that much a difference.
Major regret now...
Apple has a 2 week return policy IIRC. You can use the one you ordered while waiting on another with the nano display and then return the original.
Nice work!
Is it lame that I want to wait for the M5 because I can't afford a BMW M5. Im struggling in Aus the m4 max without mods hit 6499...insane money.
I'm coming from a 2019 i9 16" and my 14" M4 Max 16c will be coming today. Do you think it will be AMAZINGLY FAST or IMPRESSIVELY FAST compared to my slow 2019 one?
It will be neither IMPRESSIVELY nor AMAZINGLY fast; it will be MIND-NUMBINGLY fast.
When you compared the nano to the regular the colour on the top of your browser is completely different on the nano compared to the standard. Everything else is fine, but that looks like a big deal. Did you amend any settings or anything
I think it’s just a appearance setting for the desktop, nothing to do with nano
wonder if the nano texture stops the coating from coming off from the keyboard when its closed?
Do you think the nano texture display makes the color black up pure lighter and text appear less sharp?
I haven’t experienced that
For 500 frames ripple dreams on 14” 40 core gpu m3 max I got 4m 20s.
This was the greatest laptop ever made until the m4 max 14” released.
This is Eevee though. You really need to do a cycles test. See the time per frame difference and let me know.
If you can do the classroom demo under cycles demo files in the blender page.
I am an Apple user and need to upgrade phone and tablet. Can you get the same seamless syncing across devices with a Samsung phone and tablet automatically as you can with Apple devices? Thank you for any advice on this
Good Cafe Nero product placement 💥
I didn’t even think about it lol. Now I need them to sponsor
so is it really a new chip or just the same chip running at a higher clock. hmm.
I want the notch gone before I will buy.
Under-display cameras are 2-3 years away, so Apple will keep this design until the redesign in Q4 2026. That redesign will hopefully also have Tandem OLED.
First of all, appreciate your sharing.
Looks like it can make sure Thunderblot 5 can drive two monitors through the docking.
hope that can have the MBP M4 test~i would like to understand whether M4 can get the same way or not~
Currently on my 16” M1 Max 10/32 2TB/64 config. Time to upgrade?
no, you still have a great computer
Is it worth to buy non-nano texture and takşn en external matte protector or still worth 150 for the original one
How do you see the temp monitor area in 10:52? Is that an external application?
Non British guy here who enjoyed learning a new phrase - higgledy piggledy - today! 😁🙋🏻♂️
You’re welcome!
How is the text crispness on the nano texture?
Lots of concerns that it is a big compromise. However, that seemed to be based on nano-texture on other devices
Not at all, I have them both side by side here and it looks exactly the same
I don't want to be dirty, But I was so scared when you mentioned the name of the Sponsor brand.
filthy 😂
CEX is good and all for your pocket and the environment. My only issue is that on two occasions they claimed my pixel 8 pro was a C grade because of a minuscule mark on the screen that not I or even they initially noticed but then sold the same phone as a B grade.
They did the same with a Samsung Book 4 Pro 360 said it was B grade because the type C port I used to charge the device had a mark of the charger but then were selling the same device as A grade the very next day 😅😂.
Needless to say the experience put me off.
What is this temperature and consumption tracking program?
I ordered it without the nano texture and now im not sure if I should change it or just get a screen protector
Bro got scammed with that 285k, worse than 14900k. Might as well have a gotten an X3D or a 9950X.
Great review.
Glad you enjoyed it
What Shortcut do you use in your Browser for GPT? Just a bookmark?
I am replacing my 2017 iMac Pro (with a powerful eGPU) with either the M4 Max MBP or an M4 Max Studio (when available.) Although I don’t want or need a laptop, this MBP looks like it’s perfect for all the things I want to accomplish. I already have 3 Apple monitors that I currently use. I obtained the Kensington TB5 unit so I’d be good to go out of the box.
5:24 😂😂😂
Thanks for your Cex! hahaa
Thank you for this review!!! I was wondering about the Cinebench 24 multi-core score and the heating due to more P cores. Depends on people's tolerance for heat, but it does provide great performance that beats the best non-Apple desktop CPUs.
It is also great to see that Apple is finally feeding it's chips more power. Especially the GPU.
So i need an adapter usb A to usb C so i can use my accessories since there is no usb A port on this laptop?
Thanks for the video. I'm mainly on Premiere pro. Should I get Max or Pro? If I go for max is there a significant improvement in scrubbing h265 4k 10 bits video and exporting time?
The only difference you may notice is while exporting because max models have 2 encoder and decoder engine while pro have 1... In timeline scrubbing there will be 0 difference unless you are editing 8k 120f without and proxies
Definitely Pro
At 10:49, what app is that for the temp monitor? I use iStatistica Pro, but I like your interface better.
Look how happy he is!
