That's what TH-camrs do. Name a exaggerated title, attracting people to watch their videos. And many tech TH-camrs will discuss Apple not because they love Apple, its because Apple has many topics. Talking about Apple means more views, which is actually a big shame I think...
Recently purchased a certified Apple refurbished 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Max, 36G ram, 1TB SSD, for £2550.. absolute steal. Coming from a 2015 MacBook Pro 13 inch retina, i5, 8G ram, 256GB SSD! Huge upgrade and absolutely blown away already. Basically a portable desktop, and only 0.5kg heavier than my 2015 MacBook Pro!
I got a 14" from Best Buy. It was open box and on sale to boot. 16GB of RAM is the sweet spot for me. Everything just runs and doesn't lag. Far better than the Air which has no fan and really needs one. But one really good plus over a PC is that people make rugged cases for these models to where I don't need a separate bag for it. Yes, Surface Pro machines have these same types of cases so some PCs have them... it's preferable to have them when putting in a purse though.
The upside of the Macbook Air is the ability to operate without a fan versus laptops having fans which draws dust and debris into the laptop body requiring eventual cleaning and opening up of the device. While fanless and powerful for what it is, the Macbook Air has a use case scenario which allows for this fanless design to work. Yes, it can edit basic videos and play games but the price for it's form factor is heat and eventual potential throttling. As others have basically stated, if you have needs that go beyond an everyday consumer computer for basic tasks, Apple has a lineup of products which scale up based on needs which reflects in the hardware configurations. To add: Best Buy is known for great open box deals whether getting a computer or whatever else and you can purchase two year protection which if an issue arises, they will replace with something entirely new or if not available, equivalent cash.
MBP16 & an iPadPro11 with magic keyboard are perfect compliments for each other. Use the ipad on the plane or when wanting something small to use when on the go, and use the MBP16 the rest of the time!

For doing an occasional 4k vlog in HDR, and doing my Msc in Psych (using it for video conferencing) and media consumption, the base 16'' pro has been a dream, likely last me 10 years.
My 16" has been on my desk since February 2022 and my only regret is that I did not go for 32Gb, but at the time the budget would not allow that. I have seen the deals and I simply do not care too much, I have mine, it is working like a champ and I mainly bought it for the screen size. I am not getting any younger, my eyes thank me daily.

Buy it nice or buy it twice is just as good as buy once, cry once. got a stellar deal for a 14" 10C/16G with AC+, will be using this for years to come even with M2 on the horizon
I was offered a second hand 14 and 16 inch m1 macbook pro 16 gb memory and 1 TB SSD for 1500$ and 1600$ and they look both like new really, no scratch at all ! I couldnt decide which one to keep and as they are both at such good price and state i kept them both … 😅 What do you think ? A bit crazy ? The 14 inch is more portable and i love the screen of the 16 inch !
Had to comment with a smile. After purchasing the m1 max and enjoying the laptop display with it's micro LCD technology as a type of cousin to OLED, I ended up purchasing a 27 inch Micro LCD display with HD1000, local dimming and a standard brightness of 650 nits. Spoiled with the macbook and subsequently needed an external monitor that would complement the laptop, using both displays together while working at the desk. Ended up selling my 34 inch ultrawide and 32 inch 4k monitor. After using the Micro LCD macbook display, those monitors looked washed out and lacked the contrast and HDR levels which showcased the technology as intended. Costly but was a sound decision and feel as if I got into the future of displays at the ground floor.
I don't think its a must to upgrade to 32GB of RAM if you plan to use it for work tbh. Im using my Macbook Pro 16inch M1 16GB RAM for my job as a web developer, even with x2 external display + 2 Jetbrains IDEs opened + Docker + Safari and Firefox with multiple tabs opened. I still dont get any system hiccup or anything. People with other special need might wanna get the 32GB RAM but Im sure its not a must. Even when I was using my Macbook Pro 13inch M1 16GB RAM, it was working really smoothly for me. And I doubt it will ever slow down badly for the next 6~8 years
@@MinKiu410 thanks for reply my current windows laptop is very slow on android studio virtual device emulator I hope mac pro 16 base variant will be good.
I do regret getting the 16". It's way too bulky and heavy. I take a few transoceanic flights a year and to carry it with the rest of the stuff in a carry-on hand case is a pain. I thought in returning it but times to get it on 14 went to nearly 3 months at that time and I kept it. At the end I use it as a Mac Studio, because I don't move it from home...
for $2500 as a base model, for macbook pro 16 inch, i'd rather buy a mac book air $1000, and spend the other $1500 on mac mini with a 27 inch 4k monitor as a desktop. because lugging this laptop around for travel all the time is not fun. because this laptop is designed for as a desktop replacement rather than as for travel.
I bought a 17 inch MacBook Pro back in 2008 and a custom backpack specifically for that model from Swissgear called the Carbon. Back then, the MacBook Pro was 8 pounds and I sometimes carried two laptops in the backpack. The 2021 MacBook Pro 16 swims in the laptop compartment. I could probably fit two of them in there. I have had my M1 Pro MacBook Pro for a year and it has been great. I decided to go with a Studio for the desktop as I don't like unplugging and plugging monitors and other things. I have four port hubs on it so I plug in a of devices.
I've the MBP 14" and also used 16" for a month earlier. I like these displays but side by side, Samsung Tab S7+ display looks even better to me for most types of content. Something about those OLEDs. MBP's displays have brightness advantage though for those that matters a lot. Hopefully we get OLED on ipads and MacBooks sooner than later.
@@ZyliceLiddell Macbook Pro 14 and 16 have the same mini LED screen as ipad pro if not better. Yet, OLED is still better. The contrast ratio is considerably better than regular LCDs especially in movies with dark scenes but for most if the regular stuff, it is still a regular LCD lit by white LEDs from the back. OLEDs are self lit and that makes a ton of difference with the color saturation and vibrancy. Apple reportedly plans to move to OLEDs on ipad pro in a couple of years but no word on MacBooks.
@@BalaKrishna-bq5iz OlED has the best black levels because you can control the black level on a pixel by pixel basis but the max brightness across the entire screen is way lower thus making it less suitable in environments with lots of uncontrollable light. A dual layer OLED might solve that problem, but I don’t think that technology is mass market ready yet.
@@mejlgaardbliddal counter to that brightness argument is probably right in our hands. What display can be in a more challenging light than your phone? Like, what can be more uncontrollable then bright sunlight? Latest flagships can hit even 2000 nits when needed. It cant sustain that due to heat limitations and burn in scare but who needs such sustained brightness? The so-called bright LCD and mini-LED displays on Macbook Air and MacBook pro are capped at 400 and 500 nits respectively in SDR anyway. MBP's Mini-LED only goes higher in in HDR typically in selective parts of the screen as dictated by the HDR. So, it looks to me, the major factor thats stopping Macs from going all the way is siding on the cautious side due to burn in potential, especially considering that static elements on the screen like Menu bar and dock. There are already some premium windows laptops with 2.8K OLED screens that can hit 400-600 nit brightness and they looked gorgeous in my brief time I played with them. And underlying all this is the perceived brightness. Due to the nature of the display, similarly rated OLED panel "looks" more brighter than an LCD with equivalent brightness. I see a lot of reviewers observe the same. Bottomline: I get all the concerns with the bright OLED panels but I can't wait for them to be here sooner. Even a less brighter OLED is more gorgeous my mini-LED. Not only they look great but the response time is stupid fast (~0.2ms) ...like near Zero compared to 100+ ms on MacBook Pros.
It's possible, Anna. Here's how I look at it. If you need something now, buy now. If you can wait, always wait. You may get a better product for the same price or the same product for a better price. Hope that helps. Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk Thanks! My 2014 15 inch macbook pro is still going strong but I think I need a second new battery in it soon and no doubt it will need replacing before too long?. I appreciate your channel thank you! Will consider waiting to see the new MacBook pros but I'm pretty sold on the 2021 pro at this point.
I recently bought the base model a part from 1 TB drive based exactly the reasons you mention as reasons for not adding 32GB to it I could have done that but it would have cost considerably more as I either would have had to buy a max version or pay full price + the price for the ram upgrade which would have made it way more expensive than the discounted in stock model I ended up purchasing. That didn’t make any sense to me as I rarely use more than 2 video tracks in the educational videos I am creating for my pupils at school. For me TH-cam is mainly a placeholder for the videos I produce based on the needs I perceive among my pupils and most of those are based on screen recording, not on multi layered videos
16 Inch M1 Pro Max ...32GB...2 TB SSD....minimum specs for serious pros. If you can afford it 64GB...4 TB SSD. I have this one...broke my bank but no worries about its awesome speed and performance.
@@greasyflight6609 yes it does but the fact you are carrying around your hard work projects, you are risking a chance to lose all of your data due to theft or accidental spills or weather damage. Whereas a Mac Studio or Mac mini, your hard work projects are securely safe at home and available when you are ready to get back to work comfortably at home.
@@WidePhotographs Great point. I am always nervous about a MacBook disaster so I bought two of them. The 16 Inch M1 ProMax 64 GB only travels with me when necessary. I have an M1 Pro 13 for the road and travel. It has received many mixed reviews...the specs are underwhelming...but the form factor is fantastic.
I’d like one but I have a iPad 9 so for Christmas I asked Santa to get me a Black Friday M1 iPad Pro 12.9 1TB from Apple off Amazon and he did so on Christmas I’ll have that display. Maybe if I live long enough I’ll get the max pro. I did look on Black Friday but the price was about $800. more. Good by.
When it comes to weight, I will have no problem with buying the 16-inch MacBook Pro, as I carry a heavy backpack on me every day. But I already have a plan for my ultimate laptop: A customised 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip and 32 GB. I will buy it to replace my already out-of-date mid-2015 MacBook Pro with the Intel Core i7 processor.
I haven’t seen the video yet but the only regret I would say is those people who bought this MacBook M1 Pro just for basic usage should have waited. These have had a $400 off deal for the last 6 months (on & off).
THE GREATEST APPLE EVENT OF ALL TIME WILL BE AS FOLLOWS. Tim Cook : "We changed nothing. It's the same exact device, except........ no notch." BOOM!!!!!
I bought a 16" Lenovo Yoga a few days ago with 32MB RAM, 1TB SSD and a discrete, albeit small, discreet Intel Arc GPU . It has all the power I need, a better OS and only spent $1,700.00. I'm pretty sure, if I take care of it, it will last at least five years and probably more if I want it to. I do Android programming with Android Studio, thus the 16" screen, but this computer has all the power I need to run the android emulators and both the hardware and software have been rock solid so far. I can't imagine why anyone would buy a MacBook Pro unless you're doing a lot of video or photo editing or similar high end creative work.
No, it's not as simple as just editing photos or videos, it's the combination of the M1 technology, MacOS and the attention to detail. For me, I can't imagine why you would buy a Lenovo Yoga since there's an M1 on the market.
@@eppsislikeWindows >> MacOS. Lenovo put great attention to detail into my Yoda. Battery life is more than adequate. At $1,700.00 I've got great value out of my Yoga purchase. The Macbooks are very high quality, but I can't imagine why I'd spend $3,000+ for a MacBook Pro when I can spend $1700 with the Yoga and do everything I need to do. It's feels like it's almost getting to where Apple quality is so great that it exceeds the use cases of what 95% of the population really needs them for.
We bought the 16" M1 Pro 10 Core CPU + 16 Core GPU 1TB SSD - it's been great except the speakers keep POPPING all the damn time. It's a decently widespread issue and apple isn't addressing. Avoid this model.
Hey there, man. How are you doing? I'm doing fine. I see that you have a lot of laptops, and I'm typing this to ask you to send me one if you can. The reason I'm asking is because I want to start coding but lack the necessary equipment. Oh, and I'm 15 and recently started a job, so I feel like this is the perfect opportunity to begin learning how to code and other things.

Whereas a Mac Studio or Mac mini, your hard work projects are securely safe at home and available when you are ready to get back to work comfortably at home.
@@WidePhotographs Great point. I am always nervous about a MacBook disaster so I bought two of them. The 16 Inch M1 ProMax 64 GB only travels with me when necessary. I have an M1 Pro 13 for the road and travel. It has received many mixed reviews...the specs are underwhelming...but the form factor is fantastic.
I’d like one but I have a iPad 9 so for Christmas I asked Santa to get me a Black Friday M1 iPad Pro 12.9 1TB from Apple off Amazon and he did so on Christmas I’ll have that display. Maybe if I live long enough I’ll get the max pro. I did look on Black Friday but the price was about $800. more. Good by.
I'm not gonna lie I've been tempted to buy a Mac since I was 20, Im a professional and I would love to give mac a go. I just can't decide
Three months since you posted, did you decide? I'm in the same boat.
@@kalensus I did but I had unexpected medical expenses and couldn't buy the 16in M2pro as soon as I save a bit more Ill buy it
Is this m1 or M2?
Elon Musk too had a buyer’s remorse lately,so had everyone at some times,including me too .
Brother where do you get your wallpapers from? Please do tell!!!
When it comes to weight, I will have no problem with buying the 16-inch MacBook Pro, as I carry a heavy backpack on me every day.
But I already have a plan for my ultimate laptop: A customised 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip and 32 GB.
I will buy it to replace my already out-of-date mid-2015 MacBook Pro with the Intel Core i7 processor.
Awesome - that MacBook will be an absolute beast!
Why do you need 32 gb ram ?
I haven’t seen the video yet but the only regret I would say is those people who bought this MacBook M1 Pro just for basic usage should have waited. These have had a $400 off deal for the last 6 months (on & off).
Great video thanks 😃
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
"I hike a lot....it's too big and too heavy " Yeah those people don't "hike a lot" then. LMAO
Great video 👍🏼
Thanks so much, Diego! 🙏🏻
What ist your battery health in % ?
@Teach Gear Talk
Where can I get those nice wallpapers?
I have this it is seriosly the best laptop. But sometimes I think the 14 inch would have been nicer because it is so big.
I appreciate you sharing that perspective, Michael.
Is this m1 or M2?
Nice vid
Thank you for the kind words!
No, great device
It's fantastic.
Can you do a review of the backpacks you use and recommend? There so many options out there, thanks.
Hi Ken. Here are two of my favorites: th-cam.com/video/r18u89_nC5o/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/rZVwQemKAJo/w-d-xo.html hope that helps.

Thanks for being early!
THE GREATEST APPLE EVENT OF ALL TIME WILL BE AS FOLLOWS.

I bought a 16" Lenovo Yoga a few days ago with 32MB RAM, 1TB SSD and a discrete, albeit small, discreet Intel Arc GPU . It has all the power I need, a better OS and only spent $1,700.00. I'm pretty sure, if I take care of it, it will last at least five years and probably more if I want it to. I do Android programming with Android Studio, thus the 16" screen, but this computer has all the power I need to run the android emulators and both the hardware and software have been rock solid so far. I can't imagine why anyone would buy a MacBook Pro unless you're doing a lot of video or photo editing or similar high end creative work.
No, it's not as simple as just editing photos or videos, it's the combination of the M1 technology, MacOS and the attention to detail.
For me, I can't imagine why you would buy a Lenovo Yoga since there's an M1 on the market.
@@eppsislikeWindows >> MacOS. Lenovo put great attention to detail into my Yoda. Battery life is more than adequate. At $1,700.00 I've got great value out of my Yoga purchase. The Macbooks are very high quality, but I can't imagine why I'd spend $3,000+ for a MacBook Pro when I can spend $1700 with the Yoga and do everything I need to do. It's feels like it's almost getting to where Apple quality is so great that it exceeds the use cases of what 95% of the population really needs them for.
macbook has all power available when not plugged in. That is the main reason i switched to mac
@@Gill2242yeah exactly, unlike windows laptops which you can only get the best power when you’re plugged in
First comment reigning champion Afghanistan 🇦🇫
I appreciate it!
We bought the 16" M1 Pro 10 Core CPU + 16 Core GPU 1TB SSD - it's been great except the speakers keep POPPING all the damn time. It's a decently widespread issue and apple isn't addressing. Avoid this model.
Hey there, man. How are you doing? I'm doing fine. I see that you have a lot of laptops, and I'm typing this to ask you to send me one if you can. The reason I'm asking is because I want to start coding but lack the necessary equipment. Oh, and I'm 15 and recently started a job, so I feel like this is the perfect opportunity to begin learning how to code and other things.
