This is a big deal. A huge deal to be able to offer this type of performance, battery life in such a low powered chip while staying nearly silent. I'm impressed and excited. Can't wait to see one of these things with a dedicated GPU 👌. Hit me up on discord.gg/mattmoniz if you have any questions.
Linus said it in the podcast ‘Love the product, don’t love the company’ which is true. Coming from a XPS user that constantly overheating, i am actually impressed. Apple really come out with a good MacBook this year, I feel satisfied from the mere fact that is doesn’t throttle, let alone the performance.
@@ShiroGames Not the same. Nokia was in an oversaturated market and didn't know how to reinvent. The x64 cpu consumer market is AMD/INTEL. If one dies, competition does too.
@xOr I was actually sad when I didn't see Matthew's review in my Subscription page along with Dave's and MKBHD's after the embargo lifted. Ngl I was almost cursing Apple to not send him a review unit on time.
Now that you say that... the ARM architecture almost seems like adding a turbo or supercharger compared to naturally aspirated x86. x86 can still be powerful, but usually needs to be larger and more fuel hungry. ARM is like a turbocharger, it adds power but also allows for fuel efficiency.
@@-Burb turbocharging does not exactly makes a car more efficient, just work at the same or even more power in minor displacement, but it will still consume a lot of fuel if not even more.
@@josefranciscoramirez4438 Turbochargers do take fuel, but companies are using them for fuel economy because simply adding a turbocharger to a smaller engine takes less fuel than using a larger engine. They’ll produce the same power, but something like a turboed I4 will be more fuel efficient than an equal powered NA V6. That’s why so many cars have small engines with turbos nowadays.
@@josefranciscoramirez4438 it only uses more fuel if you at 100% throttle. its better to get a v8 corvette versus a civic si if your driving 100 mph because the vette is optimized for a higher speed. However, most people need power for a short time so even that huge initial drink by the turbo gets balanced by the fact the small turbo engine literally sips gas while your on the freeway at 60mph for a half hour.
Not really Intel has a 4 core going up against an 8 core if you add 4 cores to Intel it would be faster just like and is now. Apple does have better GPU equal to an nvdia 1050ti which is better than the Intel xe gpu no doubt. Of course the software must be made for the chip non Apple software being emulated has bugs will crash and is sometimes shockingly lower than Intel. I give Matthew credit for showing that with premiere who have optimized some of their software for Intel encoding rendering chips like guicksync etc. Even from a don't have that. Also some amd and nvdia gpus have special chips and encoding routines that are specific to them and only if the software is programmed for it will it speed up things. M1 is the same. Give it about a year or two. Huawei was there first at 5nm, soon Qualcomm with their 875 chip which beats the iPhone 12 pro in multi core by the way like the 865 and 865+ beat the iPhone 11 pro in multi core but get smashed in single core which us an Apple strength. More ram is needed especially with Adobe software. Speed of the ram is not a great thing if you run out and it has to go to the slow sad for a scratch disk each time. .tb3 needs to have independent channel s not shared for full 4k on bithchannels and full egpu support.

Rosetta is not emulating. It's transcribing existing machine code before you run the application. So it's running native arm instruction set for intel based apps. However, there is still point to be make about developer making sure their apps perform best they can do with new m1, which definitely should improve things as we move forward.
Fair point, but is there a single word that should be used in place of "emulating"? I understand what's happening in Rosetta 2, but the word "emulating" still seems to be the best word to explain it. People use the word "virus" to describe "malware" and we all get by with inaccurate words like that. In fact you used the word "Rosetta" which is inaccurate because it's actually "Rosetta 2". But we still understand when a word is slightly inaccurate.
@@TheNameOfJesus I think that word can be "translating", like what OP mentioned with the process of "transcribing". I'm not that savvy with software terminology, and this discussion seems to be bending in that direction. But from a layman-geek perspective, it seems like Apple's Rosetta 2 translation process does a better job of converting original X86 coding to a native instruction set the M1 chip can process, as compared to what Microsoft is attempting with their emulation software like with the Surface X.
@@GoldGiggler I see your point but the word "translating" by itself doesn't mean anything different than "emulating" unless you always clarify the word by saying "translating existing machine code at installation time before you run the application." That's a dozen words, which is a lot more than just "emulating" or "translating". Without those 11 clarifying words, people won't understand what's happening. But nobody wants to speak the full 12 words for something that's fairly simple, so they just use a single word instead. I've seen several videos about the M1 chip and if they had to use 11 extra words each time they said "translating" or "emulating" then their videos would be unreasonably long. So I'm happy with just one word. The OP used an inaccurate term himself, he said "Rosetta" when the correct term is "Rosetta 2". Nobody is complaining about his inaccuracy.
@@TheNameOfJesus What I’m sayin is exactly what apple is sharing: developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_silicon/about_the_rosetta_translation_environment I agree that we could call it emulation. But it’s important to mention it’s offline emulation process in form of translating intel instruction set to arm ones. Meaning that actual application is not running through emulator. So there is no additional cost for each instruction. And here video author made a mistake. That’s all. At the same time, offline emulation process is possibly producing slower output machine code then native compiler from swift/c to arm instruction set. So point about getting some improvements later is true. To add to it, I’m not a fan of apple laptops but m1 and Rosetta is just quite amazing achievement. And for developer, emulation is ugly word :) So the fact that they support offline translation is much more better and interesting, especially that it seems to work great from users perspective.

This is the first video I saw on this chip buried in a plethora of other videos. And I am mind-blown. The performance of these M1 processors look absolutely insane.

The real reason why I think it's game changer is because Macs over window for business and school and for the m1 to have such of a big upgrade and GAMING damn bro im getting this switching from my windows
@@Beau_Guerrier Eventually Intel and AMD will have to ditch x86 and move to ARM it's inevitable. x86 simply cannot compete against ARMs superior performance to power ratio.
I have had countless laptops and desktops through the years from many different brands. Some more expensive and "higher end" than this one. But this has been the computer that has been my favorite. It seems expensive, and well it is. But I promise you every single dollar you spend on it is more than worth it. I've never seen a computer that is as close to a jack of all trades at this price point. Display is 10/10, battery life is 10/10, and after a a year and a half of heavy use, it still runs as smooth as it did out of the box so that is also 10/10. I've even partitioned and got windows to play some PC games. Ofc it is no high end gaming computer, but oh boy did it surprise me. I was able to play some medium-spec games at a good graphics setting with no issue outside of the occasional loud fan noise. I would literally say that it is almost as capable at running PC games as a lot of medium-end HP/Dell laptops that people use for work. For an apple computer, that is absolutely outstanding. I literally have no negative things to say about it. The only things I can think of are not bad things, but rather small stuff I wish they added like more types of ports, but thats honestly just nitpicking. If you want a laptop that can literally do it all, this computer is worth every penny.
The drop in bootcamp, egpus, and 2 of the thunderbolt ports is why I am keeping my intel 13" for now. I will totally make the jump on the next iteration after all the apps are updated. Very, very impressive stuff, I was not expecting this to be so good out of the gate.
@@MatthewMoniz it was my fault, no need to apologize. I was a bit too pushy, sorry for that. But I would also like to acknowledge the fact that you don’t know how to do wires on among us lmao
Just bought the M1 MacBook Pro yesterday. The battery runtime is absolutely insane. I installed stuff, browsed the web, watched videos for 4 hours straight and tested games like dying light and deus ex mankind divided (which my ps4 was barely able to handle), 74% battery left. I'm absolutely blown away by this piece of art. This has got to be the biggest leap in technology I have ever witnessed. I've never used Rosetta before and was a little concerned because I couldn't find any info on how to use it upfront, but now I know why that was the case. It automatically emulates anything that needs to be emulated. You don't have to do a thing, it just works. Games which are emulated via Rosetta run better than on my PS4 while the fans don't even kick in. My mind is absolutely blown. I'm so glad I didn't pull the trigger on the last line of MacBooks. I'm so in love with this thing. It might sound strange, but I feel this excitement in the chest area while thinking about it. Like a child on Christmas Eve. On top of that you get the best trackpad ever built, insanely good speakers and they finally got rid of the butterfly keyboard. This is just IT. It just is.
That moment when Apple M1 based Macintosh reaches to a classic Mac OS coder: *makes the classic mode and PowerPC apps to work on it since M1 is a RISC processor*
i wanted to add a late comment due to I have owned this model for over a year now. The battery is better than anything else I have seen. I am going to school and work full time and this has been the perfect blend of power and mobility that fits the needs of my day to day schedule.
Did you buy it for editing or just college work?and how much storage did you get? I’m thinking about getting the 512gb for school work and normal Daily use ...
Honestly, I’m a giant pc nerd. Learning about and building pc’s has been my hobby for about 13 years now. I’ve only owned one mac pc (a 2014 mac air I picked up used for $250 which is my favorite laptop of all time and I’ve owned several high end laptops, that scissor keyboard was perfection and I’m still mad that apple has stopped using that keyboard and has “upgraded” to the magic keyboard) so I’m not an apple fan boy. This laptop will go down in pc history as one of the greats. I’m drooling at its performance. It’s plainly insane how fast this cpu is. I have a 2600x (will upgrade to a 3950x soon) and the fact that this 10W m1 cpu has significantly faster single core and slightly faster multicore performance than a 95W desktop cpu is insane and frankly unheard of. Just wow!
I'm waiting to see how Premeire and especially After Effect will work on the M1.... But if it's on the same level as the thing we're seeing now, the macbook air, Pro, and The mac Mini will become serious viable and cheap option even for Creative cloud user
It makes me wonder if apple has had to live with third party software like Adobe and intel. Sometimes I think a walled ecosystem is good after all if you think of how they can optimize it to be more efficient for us. Ex. Final Cut Pro on Mac. What does anyone think?
What I love the most about this video is Matthew is really and genuinely shocked by the M1 macbook and often times get speechless. And funny thing is he kept that parts uncut and there are solid 1-2 seconds of shock on his face and awkard silence. This is folks proves this laptop is impressive. Also it is one of the funniest reviews on this channel because the reactions are very real
Just hv a note on this, macbooks arent meant for gaming first of all....they are work computers mainly.... And next, if u are a gamer, u prolly demand high gpu scores, while the gpu is pretty good for integrated graphics, there is no support for external gpu which wud hv been game changing. This doesnt mean u cant game on m1 at all, its just that they arent good enough like they nly run at abt 30fps max thru emulation. I just say, look at windows.
I've heard the android emulator inside android studio doesn't work on m1 macs as of yet but android studio does work though a bit slower. Google will work on making it work with these though soon enough.
This review convinced me that buying the new "Macbook Pro 13 with M1 chip" along with 16GB Unified RAM and 512GB SSD is worth the money!! Thanks, Matt!
This is insane, so apple could make insanely powerful iphones but just keep it low just to fit into the thermal envelop. 5nm chips in a macbook. I dont know what intel is even thinking.
Great review. This was my first apple product having used windows in my previous job. Now, i'm self employed running my own drone service provider, I have fully adopted the apple ecosystem ! I'm learning FCPX on this M1 and it is brilliant. Thanks for the vid watching from 🏴
I talked to the Apple sales team this morning and they informed me that there isn’t much difference and everyone should just get the 7 core model as its performance is the same. Though she told me that 16gb model is better.
Wow, never really thought M1 would be able to beat the benchmarks! And add to that Apple optimised Big Sur, this could very well be the next gen of ultrabooks that we see, I think Apple just reclaimed their lost ground
I'll be honest, in terms of performance for Pro users, Windows has been ahead for a while now (I myself was on the verge of switching) but Apple look to be swinging back, and hard.
Kyakou While that is true it's not a great argument, arugably ever year of new products is better. If you buy one next year the one after that is also going to blow it out if the water. Just have to pick your poison, now is a good time
Man this is impressive. You know I am a big fan of max performance on battery. Can't wait for better optimisation and stronger SOC on the 16 inch in the future
Pretty sure he never said it was a bad product. He said it was a bad presentation. He's not an apple hater, he just make fun of every corporation and people get mad! LOL
Great first look Matt. My holdout is complete finally and I can finally move on from my MacBook 12 soon. There was little reason to upgrade despite the horrendous performance of the 12 but this is it.
No one said this is a full fledged gaming machine. Just impressive what an ARM chip can do .. I dont think people realize the insanity this is putting out in such a low powered chip. This makes the Qualcomm chips in the Surface Pro X look like goats who were to slow to escape the wrath of Singhala.
@@MatthewMoniz Alright but still No to wow,lol,dota,WT,Tf2,csgo,wot. If u set res to 900p-equivalent in Shadow of the TR at high, i'm sure it can do 30fps.
Guess Linus is salty now, that's why he's ignoring the release entirely :D Poor guy has problems looking above his own horizon and is too cocky to admit that he was wrong about Apple
Honestly this isn’t badly priced at this point. For $699 the Mac mini is incredibly well priced considering how powerful this CPU is. The MacBook Pro seems a little expensive but the MacBook Air seems like it’s also pretty fairly priced as it is a thin and light laptop with a powerful processor.
Me too and with more memory and a 500gb SSD I can do more or less what I need. The added benefit of a DVD drive is the cherry on top. When I read posts that people are shelling out £1299.00 to play WOW I want to smack my head against the wall.
Matt you freak. You could be one of the greatest sales men! I was waiting for your review! This is perhaps the best “first look” at the macbook reviews! Can’t wait for your more in depth.
My mind is blown by all of these reviews. I don't think a lot of people fully grasp how much of a huge deal these chips are. Performance, ultra power efficiency AND graphics capability? Amazing stuff. Seriously consider switching back to a Macbook with the M1 as my next computer. Great review BTW.
first time here. was going to subscribe cause you weren’t constantly pandering to your audience, but it was a slam dunk when i saw the hockey stick in the back. cheers!
For music creating in Logic Pro you think the MacBook Air m1 would be good enough ? Since the major difference from the pro is only the cooling fan inside I’m wondering if it worth the extra 300

Whos heart dropped at 5:42 thinking he was gonna slam it on the table?
This first generation M1 feels like 20th generation of any commercial processor already
Never thought I would see Apple making innovations again, let alone some breakthrough like this
Yay!!!!! Ordering a 13” M1 512 today!!!!!! Was waiting for a review! Thank you
Don't invest in 1 gen of anything per se , if u can wait 5 -6 months then next generation will be much better deal
Just fantastic, for the first time Apple has finally done something truly "innovative" since forever ago. Just... WOW
Uhhh did you forget about the iPhone?
@@MrRedrum01 i mean although it is good and i like it I wouldn't say it's "innovative"

I'm got mine today and uploaded my unboxing! Gonna make more tests tonight for the channel. This M1 can change everything!
Pls test premiere pro extensively. This is what most video Editors want to know
Intel: I quit... Apple u go fight AMD
This is a game changer, bravo Apple. This really will shake up the CPU industry for the good.
nah only apple product. in all honesty i doubt the m1 chip would do as good if it was compatible to most platform like standar cpu ( amd / intel)
The real reason why I think it's game changer is because Macs over window for business and school and for the m1 to have such of a big upgrade and GAMING damn bro im getting this switching from my windows
@@Beau_Guerrier Eventually Intel and AMD will have to ditch x86 and move to ARM it's inevitable. x86 simply cannot compete against ARMs superior performance to power ratio.
I never thought I'd say this about an Apple product...
I'M VERY IMPRESSED! Damn you Apple! 😁
I've just been sent one of these by my new employers for "free" as a working machine. Feeling like a kid on Christmas!
Is this a 10W or 15W?
From what I've read it's a 10W chip that goes up to 20-24W depending on load
I have had countless laptops and desktops through the years from many different brands. Some more expensive and "higher end" than this one. But this has been the computer that has been my favorite. It seems expensive, and well it is. But I promise you every single dollar you spend on it is more than worth it.
I've never seen a computer that is as close to a jack of all trades at this price point. Display is 10/10, battery life is 10/10, and after a a year and a half of heavy use, it still runs as smooth as it did out of the box so that is also 10/10. I've even partitioned and got windows to play some PC games. Ofc it is no high end gaming computer, but oh boy did it surprise me. I was able to play some medium-spec games at a good graphics setting with no issue outside of the occasional loud fan noise. I would literally say that it is almost as capable at running PC games as a lot of medium-end HP/Dell laptops that people use for work. For an apple computer, that is absolutely outstanding.
I literally have no negative things to say about it. The only things I can think of are not bad things, but rather small stuff I wish they added like more types of ports, but thats honestly just nitpicking. If you want a laptop that can literally do it all, this computer is worth every penny.
The drop in bootcamp, egpus, and 2 of the thunderbolt ports is why I am keeping my intel 13" for now. I will totally make the jump on the next iteration after all the apps are updated. Very, very impressive stuff, I was not expecting this to be so good out of the gate.
Oooooh baby!! I’m ready for Apple to start going into the gaming space. Great video as always!
Thanks Python! Sorry I banned you last night. Just wasn't in the mood for toxicity
@@MatthewMoniz it was my fault, no need to apologize. I was a bit too pushy, sorry for that. But I would also like to acknowledge the fact that you don’t know how to do wires on among us lmao
@@python7437 What an uncalled for comment. That’s a ridiculous thing to write.
@@_caustics_ don’t confuse me lol
Just bought the M1 MacBook Pro yesterday. The battery runtime is absolutely insane. I installed stuff, browsed the web, watched videos for 4 hours straight and tested games like dying light and deus ex mankind divided (which my ps4 was barely able to handle), 74% battery left. I'm absolutely blown away by this piece of art. This has got to be the biggest leap in technology I have ever witnessed.
I've never used Rosetta before and was a little concerned because I couldn't find any info on how to use it upfront, but now I know why that was the case. It automatically emulates anything that needs to be emulated. You don't have to do a thing, it just works.
Games which are emulated via Rosetta run better than on my PS4 while the fans don't even kick in. My mind is absolutely blown. I'm so glad I didn't pull the trigger on the last line of MacBooks.
I'm so in love with this thing. It might sound strange, but I feel this excitement in the chest area while thinking about it. Like a child on Christmas Eve.
On top of that you get the best trackpad ever built, insanely good speakers and they finally got rid of the butterfly keyboard. This is just IT. It just is.
Did you play those games on MacOS or did you use Crossover/Parallels to run them?
@@iTristendo straight on macos via Steam.
@@unterschicht_investor7220 awesome! I’m gonna try that for myself later. I’m still loving the M1 MacBook Pro 13”! Do you still own one?
Legitimately the most concise, intelligent review of the pack. Well written, and well covered. Thanks for valuing my time, man.
you gonna see that apple logo everywhere now...good price+good hardware and software is a WIN
That moment when Apple M1 based Macintosh reaches to a classic Mac OS coder: *makes the classic mode and PowerPC apps to work on it since M1 is a RISC processor*
@Love made in Japan PowerPC is RISC. Apple M1 is Advanced RISC, which should mean that it has RISC at its core.
i wanted to add a late comment due to I have owned this model for over a year now. The battery is better than anything else I have seen. I am going to school and work full time and this has been the perfect blend of power and mobility that fits the needs of my day to day schedule.
when mine arrived today I literally couldnt believe how silent it was i-

@@emaanahsan1177 yeah plus u can always get an external hard drive
Honestly, I’m a giant pc nerd. Learning about and building pc’s has been my hobby for about 13 years now. I’ve only owned one mac pc (a 2014 mac air I picked up used for $250 which is my favorite laptop of all time and I’ve owned several high end laptops, that scissor keyboard was perfection and I’m still mad that apple has stopped using that keyboard and has “upgraded” to the magic keyboard) so I’m not an apple fan boy. This laptop will go down in pc history as one of the greats. I’m drooling at its performance. It’s plainly insane how fast this cpu is. I have a 2600x (will upgrade to a 3950x soon) and the fact that this 10W m1 cpu has significantly faster single core and slightly faster multicore performance than a 95W desktop cpu is insane and frankly unheard of. Just wow!
Who else is getting it for Christmas and is here to get hyped up
Tomorrow is Christmas for me 😁, it'll be worth the wait for you!

How much are you selling your old one for? And, what will your new machine be able to do that your old one can't?
copped one of these, it's been great so far. I too love how quiet and cool it runs.
Game developers: Guys! It’s time to move to Mac
what a lighting, what a color pick, clicked on thumb just to see if such ambient lighting is possible, awesome! Subscribed!
Thank you so much !
I'm waiting to see how Premeire and especially After Effect will work on the M1.... But if it's on the same level as the thing we're seeing now, the macbook air, Pro, and The mac Mini will become serious viable and cheap option even for Creative cloud user
It makes me wonder if apple has had to live with third party software like Adobe and intel. Sometimes I think a walled ecosystem is good after all if you think of how they can optimize it to be more efficient for us. Ex. Final Cut Pro on Mac. What does anyone think?
What I love the most about this video is Matthew is really and genuinely shocked by the M1 macbook and often times get speechless. And funny thing is he kept that parts uncut and there are solid 1-2 seconds of shock on his face and awkard silence. This is folks proves this laptop is impressive. Also it is one of the funniest reviews on this channel because the reactions are very real
So can it play CS GO? It’s the most demanding thing I do atm..
let me know when you get the answer pls
Yes, but not great because of the emulation so you will be limited a little
Just hv a note on this, macbooks arent meant for gaming first of all....they are work computers mainly....
And next, if u are a gamer, u prolly demand high gpu scores, while the gpu is pretty good for integrated graphics, there is no support for external gpu which wud hv been game changing. This doesnt mean u cant game on m1 at all, its just that they arent good enough like they nly run at abt 30fps max thru emulation. I just say, look at windows.
It can run tomb raider via translation ok, it should be able to do the same with CS:GO as there is a Mac version
Tomb raider high settings gives 30fps+ ... CSGO will definitely be good.
Thank you for your enthusiastic review I just might run out and get a M one tomorrow !
Hi Matthew, im an android developer, will this work fine with the android studio? cheers from Argentina!
I'm a Flutter Developer and I have the same question.
I think it also has to get optimized
I’m a dotnet developer and have the same question
I've heard the android emulator inside android studio doesn't work on m1 macs as of yet but android studio does work though a bit slower. Google will work on making it work with these though soon enough.
@Merc Verm It would be perfect if all you want to do is use XCode. Check out Dave2D's video for performance numbers for XCode.
Long battery life and able to play world of Warcraft. I’m sold.
Apple and Amd to Intel:
Tata , bye-bye , Goodbye !
after a long time your video is recommended Matthew ❤️❤️
More like 20-24 watts according to Anandtech but yes the A14 and M1 are insane this year! Great job Apple. 🔥
This review convinced me that buying the new "Macbook Pro 13 with M1 chip" along with 16GB Unified RAM and 512GB SSD is worth the money!! Thanks, Matt!
You're welcome!
This is insane, so apple could make insanely powerful iphones but just keep it low just to fit into the thermal envelop. 5nm chips in a macbook. I dont know what intel is even thinking.
bro I just got this laptop for christmas and I’m even more hyped now first new laptop in 10 years
This is the result of Apple's incredible engineering. M1 chip is fire😍🔥🔥🔥
Great review. This was my first apple product having used windows in my previous job. Now, i'm self employed running my own drone service provider, I have fully adopted the apple ecosystem ! I'm learning FCPX on this M1 and it is brilliant. Thanks for the vid watching from 🏴
Really want to know the difference between basic Air and the one with 8 GPU cores.
I talked to the Apple sales team this morning and they informed me that there isn’t much difference and everyone should just get the 7 core model as its performance is the same. Though she told me that 16gb model is better.
@@TodaysFunda but there isn’t 16 Gb for Apple silicon yet
@@JeBusInYoutbe 8gb and 16gb yes. 32gb no. Check Apple website 👍🏼
@@TodaysFunda i checked because I want to buy a Mac soon , the 16 gb of MacBook Pro only has intel . See for yourself .
@@TodaysFunda or send me a screenshot of the product that says Apple M1
Been waiting on you to drop this 👍🏽
Hope you enjoyed it!
Wow, never really thought M1 would be able to beat the benchmarks! And add to that Apple optimised Big Sur, this could very well be the next gen of ultrabooks that we see, I think Apple just reclaimed their lost ground
I have the top of the line MacBook Pro 16 and I have never heard the fans during updates. Ever.
Then you are a lucky man
I don't know man, the other M1 looks like a better deal
Isn't there like only 2 air and pro
Best review I've seen, congrats Matthew, keep up the good work.
Well This Is The FUTURE👏
this is the first time I've been excited about an apple product since the original iphone.
I dont even get apple products, I should prob see what the fuss is all about
I think this may be my first ever Macbook. This fuss is a bit too good of a fuss not to get fussy about.
@@benjamin7114 Same here! Contemplating between a 512Gb MB Air or a 256GB Pro at the moment hahaha
@@tek1645 Yeah now the MacBook is actually good because now it has the same chip as mbp 13.3 inch and display is better
I'll be honest, in terms of performance for Pro users, Windows has been ahead for a while now (I myself was on the verge of switching) but Apple look to be swinging back, and hard.
Kyakou While that is true it's not a great argument, arugably ever year of new products is better. If you buy one next year the one after that is also going to blow it out if the water. Just have to pick your poison, now is a good time
Man this is impressive. You know I am a big fan of max performance on battery. Can't wait for better optimisation and stronger SOC on the 16 inch in the future
WOW 70 FPS ON WOW that’s awesome 👏🏾
Loved your review Matt...and man you are really a great tech reviewer I love watching your content.
I appreciate that!
I’m thinking about Linus’s video now lmao. Poor Linus.

Pretty sure he never said it was a bad product. He said it was a bad presentation. He's not an apple hater, he just make fun of every corporation and people get mad! LOL
That IS insane man. Few people are putting it clearly as u did.
Can you test virtualisation on the new MBP 13”
That won't work at all.. Rosetta can't translate kernel and virtualisation instructions..
They shouldn’t call it “Pro” then! 😅
@@roshanraj3185 i don't think you get it
@@dakbal-1jum I apologize if I misunderstood anything, can you let me know what I got wrong
VMWare and Parallels will be available "in the near future". Right now there's no virtualisation software for Apple Silicon.
Great first look Matt. My holdout is complete finally and I can finally move on from my MacBook 12 soon. There was little reason to upgrade despite the horrendous performance of the 12 but this is it.
I agree this is it
the new Macbooks with the M1 chip is AMAZING. First Apple product that impressed me. I guess the downside is it still wants your kidneys.
A kidney worths 576 MacBook air or 390 lol
You think $900 is a lot for a cutting edge laptop? Don't want to know what cheap hardware you think is a good deal then

Ok let's play some real games. No offense to WoW
No one said this is a full fledged gaming machine. Just impressive what an ARM chip can do .. I dont think people realize the insanity this is putting out in such a low powered chip. This makes the Qualcomm chips in the Surface Pro X look like goats who were to slow to escape the wrath of Singhala.

You’re very welcome!
We need some Zen 3 U CPUs with some big navi
Ehh I'd take this Arm chip + dedicated GPU over a H series processor. Silence, battery life and still great performance.
I love Matthew’s reviews 👏🏽
Guess Linus is salty now, that's why he's ignoring the release entirely :D Poor guy has problems looking above his own horizon and is too cocky to admit that he was wrong about Apple
Excellent review 🤩 mine arrives tomorrow!
Gladd to see Apple stepping up their game. Sadly, I'll still never get a Mac. Just can't justify the price.
Honestly this isn’t badly priced at this point. For $699 the Mac mini is incredibly well priced considering how powerful this CPU is. The MacBook Pro seems a little expensive but the MacBook Air seems like it’s also pretty fairly priced as it is a thin and light laptop with a powerful processor.
I still got my 2009 Macbook Pro (most parts have been replaced though). I'll upgrade in a few years when I have the moolah.
Me too and with more memory and a 500gb SSD I can do more or less what I need. The added benefit of a DVD drive is the cherry on top. When I read posts that people are shelling out £1299.00 to play WOW I want to smack my head against the wall.
Damn, M1 is basically a god.
Matt you freak. You could be one of the greatest sales men! I was waiting for your review! This is perhaps the best “first look” at the macbook reviews! Can’t wait for your more in depth.
More to come!
and AMDs 15W CPU is also beating intels 45W. not surprising this m1 is beating Intel,
My mind is blown by all of these reviews. I don't think a lot of people fully grasp how much of a huge deal these chips are. Performance, ultra power efficiency AND graphics capability? Amazing stuff. Seriously consider switching back to a Macbook with the M1 as my next computer. Great review BTW.
The performance is insane 😱
But the price is also insane too 😂
Its just Apple prices business as usual. But is the price worth the performance?
The price is insanely good for what you are getting. No laptop in the same price comes close.
first time here. was going to subscribe cause you weren’t constantly pandering to your audience, but it was a slam dunk when i saw the hockey stick in the back. cheers!
test this for developers like eclipse ide, java se, oracle weblogic, springboot, gcc, etc.
gonna upload a test like that to my channel tonight :)
I plan on getting this for work soon
I just ordered this. I can't wait!!!
For music creating in Logic Pro you think the MacBook Air m1 would be good enough ? Since the major difference from the pro is only the cooling fan inside I’m wondering if it worth the extra 300
If music production, than the M1 should be good
yes it will be perfect, I use Ableton on mine and it's super fast
