I just bought a 99% battery life 2020 13” m1 MacBook Pro 16GB / 1TB for $820. I think it’s far more compatible to the 14” he tested in this video. I think it’s probably the best deal / value in laptops right now. M1 is still more than enough for most people.
I know I am in the minority here, but I love The Touch Bar. The ability to get type suggestions, move progress bar when playing a video, changing tabs in a browser, answering and ending video calls are features that I got very used to. It was created for pros and I dont even edit anything on it. Not to mention, more and more creatives are saying how they miss Touch Bar. You dont know what you have until its gone haha R.I.P Touch Bar
I don’t get all the hate either. I keep reaching out to the function keys now and realise the Touch Bar is gone. I loved being able to quickly delete emails or reply, scrub through videos, etc. It definitely had more potential to live up to but it was handy more often than not.
I agree, I want the touch bar and will miss it if they take it fully away one day. I feel like it takes some time to fully appreciate the touch bar; I know it was that way for me. But if you take the time to learn how to make it work best for you, it can be really great and a fun piece of tech. It is extremely useful for me when filling out webforms, I love how it gives you name and address suggestions just like on the iPhone, so quick and easy. And just simple things like the animated arrow telling you to use Touch ID, sure you don't NEED it but it is good visual feedback on what the system is waiting on. I really thought Apple would go all-in and put the bar on the iMac keyboard, etc. but I think they have just gotten tired of people constantly complaining about something new and just said "fine" and went back to 2015.
I use touch bar, but I hate how common keys like sound volume control and brightness control are moving and collapsing in certain apps. I would say, there should either be dedicated keys for common controls or these controls should be always visible on a touch bar. Not sure if there is a way to configure this. Anyways, looking at new Macbook Pro - it is just way bulkier and heavier than the previous 13" model which for me is a huge con. Besides, I've already got used to having only thunderbolt ports. I've got rather expensive card + USB A adapter but I rarely use it now. Thus, first I was excited that they now offer a variety of ports again, but then I've realised that I have never used more than 2 thunderbolt ports at once. Give me dedicated common control keys + that narrow bevel + the power of 14", but in a weight and size of 13" - and I'm ready to pay as much as 14" cost now. For now, my choice if Macbook M1 13" 16Gb/512Gb.
Apple always, and I mean always leave one thing off their products that everyone wants. Then they release a new version with that feature. Original iPhone no actual apps. MagSafe. Ports. Tele or wide angle lens. You name it. The way they keep getting people to upgrade is to make big shiny improvements and hamstring the products. As far as I'm concerned this is the first time they've made a MacBook as good as the 2012 since...well...2012.
I got the 14 and there’s things that are better that you don’t expect. The extra screen real estate is very noticeable, the speakers are incredible and the bigger function keys are way nicer. I know all the reviewers say if you’re a pro, get the pro but it’s noticeably better for regular consumers too if you can stretch your budget.
I so wish I could have afforded to purchase this over the M1 Air! The Air is amazing and already a massive upgrade over what I had before, but I really would love to have the 14” Pro’s display!
I need there to be more comments like this so I can justify buying the base 14" to watch TH-cam, use Microsoft Office and do some very basic R programming 😂😂😂💸💸
@@ryanps1598 Ha there was a 10% off deal here in Australia as well so it was a somewhat good deal. I don't think I could've stretched to purchase it at full price.
@@ryanps1598 for me important reasons to buy Macbook M1 Pro 13" over 14" are: smaller, significantly lighter. Important reasons to buy Macbook M1 Pro 13" over M1 Air: brighter screen (500 nits vs 400 nits, and my current Macbook Pro 2018 has 500 nits, I am not willing to go lower), sound quality (from what I know, sound quality on Air is a bit worse). Overall, currently M1 Air costs around 15% less than Macbook M1 Pro 13" and Macbook M1 Pro 13" costs around 25% less than 14". I am okay to spend 15% more comparing to Air, but not okay to pay 25% to get heavier and bulkier machine.
@@lilBabyBornInCalifornia i got the 2016 13” and didn’t realize how bad the performance is on even the i7 processors in the 13”. it’s crashed on my music production so many times since i owned it. def excited for my new 14” to come in!
Why is every Macbook review about video editing? I mean come on, if you edit videos and photos all day on your Macbook, you seriously need to get a desktop. I cannot find a single video about the new Macbook Pro 14 on how it compares to the 13 inch in everyday usage scenerios like borwsing web, watching movies, youtube, using word, excel and how does the battery compares.
Because those everyday applications would never stress that processors enough to even justify the comparison. That’s why video editing is a great way to put more pressure on the system. It’s like buying a GTR to drive to the grocery store 1Mile away and the speed limits 20mph. Unless your getting in the highway or really hitting the pedal then you might as well get a civic.
I think it's because honestly no need to get this if that's all you are doing. This is a tool for designers which is why I don't have one. Well I do but for work I have my windows machine. I still use my 2015 MacBook pro and it's more than enough
if someone buys last years MBP M1 and add extra ram and SSD to make it 16GB / 512GB for $1700, it would be one of the dumbest purchases ever. For extra $300 for the the new MBP M1 Pro, you get a way faster chip, mini LED display, 120hz, ports, MagSafe, bigger screen, better camera, and much more. That's a hell of deal for extra $300.
But if the person doesn't have the extra $300 and wants to buy the best possible machine? Don't say, "Save for another two or three months"'. Life is not just about buying a computer, sometimes it's not convenient or it's simply not possible.
@@animerecortadox That's a fair point and one that can only be answered by those making the decison. For me I was lucky enough to be able to afford that. Likewsie I cant afford a ferrari so I buy what I can afford. The best possible computer is the one you can afford.
@@animerecortadox This is true for countries where we pay a bit higher prices due to the "Apple Taxes" outside the US. Just like in the Philippines, it's probably gonna cost us almost close to US$350 for the additional cost. Plus, Apple products are only available usually one to two months after the launch in the US.
Fanless and absolutely quiet! Insane M1 Power for C++, Java, C# and Swift Programming! What makes me also very happy on the MBA M1 16GB 1TB is without TouchBar and Notch! The MBA M1 is also very small and light for traveling, in will be the king of Apple for years!
The new Macbook Pro is nice, but I can't live without the Touch Bar (which is super handy albeit deeply misunderstood / or costly - only Apple knows the truth).
So why do reviews like this seem to limit the type of users to a dichotomy between "just browsing, checking emails, watching videos, typing documents" and "creatives who edit and render high res videos". There are more actual "pros" who don't belong to these categories.
Instead of upgrading 2020 m1's ram to 16gb and SSD to 512GB, I chose the 14" M1 pro base model for additional $300. It's worth it and more future friendly than the first gen M1 processor.
@@MattVibes so the thing is the first gen m1s except maybe the m1 max will probably all rotate out of support at the same time due to underlying architecture constraints apple has had a history of ending support on still capable hardware all because one part of that generation can't keep up which will probably be the m1 airs lowest bin
I don't think MBP M1 would lose support significantly earlier, at all. I honestly find it kind of sinister to see that M1 Pro and Max are always compared to MBP M1 with 8 GB's of ram to probably show a bigger performance gap.
It hilarious watching these reviews and sort of knocking the normal M1 yet these machines are dramatically faster than most PCs and also the computers they replaced. There needs to be a bit of grounding in comparison, compare it to the base 2020 iMac and Mac Pro and the M1 beats both... so are still insane machines for what they are.
That what I don't like about these reviews and apples claims. Just a couple months ago, that 2020 m1 was the "fastest" and "most pro laptop in the world"... 🤦
Its just the TH-cam hype train lol. 3 months ago they were all spamming videos about how the M1 base model is INSANE and still AMAZING. But now as soon as something faster comes out, suddenly they aren't anymore. If you wanna pay $1000 more to save 2 minutes on a render go ahead lmfao.. 200% faster means nothing when you realise that 200% means a few minutes at most
Exactly. The M1 MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB is powerful enough for most professionals. The 13 inch MacBook Pro M1 beats last generation 16 inch MacBook Pro fully maxed out and professionals were using that. It’s all just silly.
It's just that when TH-camrs get the best kit, they feel the need to be patronising towards lesser models as they now can be viewed as the "budget" option.
For me, not worth it, and the M1 MBP has been running for < $1K on Best buy frequently. The M1 MBP are used for my kids for school and while it is overkill for what they need it has made remote learning and doing hw a much more pleasant experience. The touchbar will be missed as Emoji's selection, zoom play/mute, and video scrubbing are things they have been using. Would love to see the M1 keep the design in 2022, but with more ports like M1 pro.
how do you say that a macbook m1 is only suitable for basic jobs? this is incorrect information and the macbook pro m1 is an excellent work machine, moreover much more portable and beautiful than the new 14 and 16 inch pro
Still do not get it, why they have not yet inroduced the Mac Mini Pro version.. these are desktops, desktop should have more power in favour of porability. Better cooling and so on. Mac Mini could be the best desktop in the world if Apple has smart people there. But to be honest - I do not bellieve that. And if they will do it. The prices will rip off the jaws.
Just upgraded my M1 Mac Mini to the M1 Pro 14” and I love it! Video editing is a breeze and I can still dock it into my desk setup. Performance is honestly insane, and so far near silent.
@@KiwiKeebs Thank you for quick reply. For me it will be just for music, web browsing, videos and windows 11 in parallels. Nothing heavy actually. I do like the hdmi and the sd port on this one. Screen is beautiful. Thanks again! Cheers,
I'm so torn. I want to replace my 2017 MacBook Pro 13", but I'd like to see what the next MacBook Air looks like. Rumors that it won't be 14" which is disappointing. I don't mind the rumored white keyboard although the white bezels don't thrill me. I may just have to get a base 14" MacBook Pro M1 Pro.
Why am I confused? Constant mixing performance and form factor spec: 13” M1 Air & M1 Pro. vs 14” M1 MBP… I mean I get it and it helped but please stick to TWO models when comparing and do another cross model vid if necessary. Thanks
Portability is why the 13" is best for me. I picked up the 14" in an Apple Store and it feels quite heavy. The screen is awesome, but if you use a MacBook Pro and a Mac mini / desktop....for me the 13" is the best option.
difference in price between MacBook pro m1 16ram 512gb and MacBook pro m1pro base model is 900$ in my country PL(EU) the cheapest brand new MacBook pro m1 from walmart kind of store outlet will cost now 2600$
I just wish they offered the new chassis with the M1 chip to reduce the overall cost. That’s what I would have gotten. That being said I just purchased the M1 pro 14”
The same thing people say about the m1, "that is a powerful machine to work on graphics and those stuff", and now bc u say is not true ? Don't make me laugh, I'm a software engineer and I spend $2000 on the m1, and work perfect to develop on unit, Visual studio and developing heavy apps and softwares.
Why is everyone wowed by an SD Card slot? WTF is this, 2005? Even a normal usb port would be more useful. Most peripherals and flash drives still use the square version over USB C.
my problem between both is the touch bar , I really like the idea of the touch bar , however I think the new 14" Macbook is doing much better , any good advice in here? thanks in advance
i love the touchbar on mine but ended up deciding all the upgrades were worth it to order the 14. i think i’ll get over it pretty fast with the performance
I love the touch bar! I hope the new macbook pro 2022 has a touch bar on it with the old ports! That would be very perfect! Definitely will upgrade from 2018 to 2022 🤩😂
I mean if I can edit 4k videos fine on the m1 Mac why would I need an m1 pro? I think it should be stated if you are editing with 8k you probably need the m1 pro. 4k and below, the m1 Mac is more than sufficient. 1080p the m1 Mac will be like butter. I'd rather Pocket the $700 and buy external ssd and more accessories. I Also like how the m1 Mac is thinner and sleeker although you lose the ports. A good dock fixes that though and it's better to have a dock instead of having to replug things in all the time if you did have the ports.
I used a 24 inch m1 imac for editing a 1080p video and it wasn't like buttery smooth. When I hit playback right after I edit something, it's usually rendering and the quality drops and it even lags sometimes.
@@JS-uo6or Sorry to hear that but you have something wrong with your computer i guess :/ I do have base model M1 MBA and M1 MBP with 16gigs they both are much much more than enough on 1080p. I mean computer itself not even lagged once in full workload(m1 mbp with all 16gigs used + 6gigs swap memory while using blender imo which is still not good and fully optimized for m1 apple silicon
The difference would probably be more export time, than doing the actual edits. At least that's what I've seen so far in doing 4k in Premiere. the m1 pro I think has encoders/decoders for 8k pro res. I spent 79 dollars on an anker doc with 3 USB ports and an hdmi port for when I'm at my desk.
Guys, help me out here. Do you think the old MacBook Pro has a more all round solid feel to it compared to the new one? There’s something about the previous MacBook Pro which felt more of a unibody slab feel to it. Or maybe its just I’m not used to the new design.
got a brand new M1 with 8-512 for $1250 to my door step from army exchange store. I really need it for occasional Lightroom classic editing and M1 would be more than enough I believe.
So I still question Apple that these two laptops are the same thickness (or thinness, as SJ would say). Are they measuring without the little feet? I know there is some visual trickery going on with the 13" model, but even adjusting for that the 14" looks bigger. Can anyone verify one way or another?
Apple have got this badly wrong. I have been waiting for the new MacBook Pro to replace my current 5 year old model. But that notch and the PRICE are ridiculous. I will keep my current laptop going as long as possible but if that becomes unworkable I will have to look at other options. That means switching to PC and the very many powerful and more cost effective options. BTW, Your sales pitch for the MacBook Pro is transparent. Last year’s epic M1 has suddenly become too slow ??? Nonsense.
why do you want the pro laptop? for performance right? if a notch that goes away in a fullscreen, and a price that is justifiable as a pro, is deterring you from buying this product, maybe you werent the target audience in the first place
@@zionlee4594 Your condescension noted. I use a Macbook Pro for video editing a photo processing. A target buyer, apparently. But my buck will get bigger bang elsewhere.
@@adamk6299 Woah Adam. Criticism stung eh? You might be happy to raise a mortgage to follow the herd but I betchya the PC will do everything most people will ever need and more for considerably less. But of course, you might prefer style over common sense…
I needed the M1 pro can’t wait to get back in my design work! Lol my old mac finally rejected all updates and battery trashed lol. (Lasted over 5 years can’t complain)
I am so confused it if over a 300$ difference for me as i am looking at refurbished units. The m1 has a 1tb ssd and 16gb ram. The m1pro 16gb ram, and 512 gb ssd. I haven’t Ted done a lot of video editing, it is however something i am interested in. I am also planting in taking data analysis and python programming certificate classes. I do like to take pictures and record ABs edit music as well. I can get the m1 frombackmarket in good condition, with 30 day return, and a year warranty. Optional extended . And the M1 Pro from Amazon renewed, in premium condition, which come with a year warranty, which includes the option to return for the entire year. M1, $832 which comes to about 902. So it is a difference if over 300 + ! The M1pro is 1167 Which comes to about 1260 with tax.
I’m wondering what folks think about bumping up the RAM on the M1 Pro 14 to 32GB? If I plan to own this laptop for 5-7 years is that the smart move or overkill? I love Apple but the RAM upgrades are way overpriced.
They say, to make it future friendly, upgrade the ram. Cos you can always plug a external drive. But 16gb is moooore then enough in the next 3-4 years.
The question is - will your 2021 laptop support MacOS versions of, say, 2026. For example, currently Intel chips have a lot of reported issues with MacOS Big Sur. I own Macbook Pro 2018 and it definitely has issues with various apps - it tends to stuck badly time to time, only resetting helps. I am personally aiming on around 4 years of use. And in 4 years, I reckon 16Gb should be enough, especially for the price they ask for 32Gb upgrade.
@@archi-mendel I just purchased a MacBook Pro 13” (M1, 2020) 512SSD 8GB. I’m upgrading from an old acer laptop 1tb 4gb ram. I wanted this purely for the luxury of working without any hinderance. Emails, office work and programs + browsing also maybe video editing in the future. Just asking if this was a sane purchase or should I sell it after arrival and stretch my budget for a difference model
@@adr3510 hey, no worries, M1 version is great - I rarely face issues (had couple issues with games, but that's expected). You'll definitely going to like it after getting used to MacOS (it is rather user friendly overall).
Why are you showing webcam quality with softbox light shining behind you? :D Those are the worst light conditions that every webcam is going to struggle with.
I got my first MacBookPro, the 13" M1 a couple months after it was released and I've been enjoying this laptop inmensely for the past year. I got my wife the 14" M1 and I love the bigger screen, the better resolution and all the ports that the 13" does not have. Would it be a right move if I sell my 13" and get the 14"?

I'm interested in the question of autonomy when comparing MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro (basic) vs MacBook Pro 13" M1. for me, battery life is just important, since it's very cool when a laptop can be used all day without charging, and the MacBook Pro 13 "M1 is top in this regard (I don't consider 16 inches because it's too bulky). but I also like the cooler screen and sound of the MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro + new design. and I’m wondering, if you remove 120 hertz and use the laptop only for watching videos, browsing and instant messengers without heavily loading the video core with graphics job, will the MacBook Pro 14 "M1 Pro lose significantly in the battery of the MacBook Pro 13" M1? And another question about heating? Is there a big difference between them in heating (when browsing and watching TH-cam, etc.)? thanks!
Apple now offers four different M1 MACBOOK laptops for four types of users: 1.) The M1 MACBOOK AIR is for casual users who mainly use their laptop to surf the web, write emails, send text messages, listen to music, watch videos and on occasions may write programs and/or edit music, photos and/or videos using inexpensive or free apps. 2.) The M1 MACBOOK PRO is for amateur hobbyist and semi-professionals who have outgrown the inexpensive and free editing/coding apps and now require a laptop capable of tackling slightly bigger and more complex tasks. 3.) The M1 PRO MACBOOK PRO is for avid hobbyists, semi-professionals, and professionals who want to use powerful, best of breed, computers and apps to do serious editing, programming, data analysis and content creation. 4.) The M1 MAX MACBOOK PRO is for avid hobbyists, semi-professionals, and professionals who require the MOST powerful hardware and software to do the MOST complex and demanding tasks in their respective industries.
which one should you get for simply watching things such as a netflix and youtube and also school work? i have a very old macbook pro and the speakers no longer work T-T so id really like to upgrade
For straight up performance for dollar... the MBA M1 8 core GPU, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd is the best deal, $1449 and $1349 often on sale. Skip the 13 MBP entirely...or go with 14 and maybe 32gb ram as well for a "step up" if you need the extra performance. If you do need the extra performance, the CPU diff is likely not going to be the bottle neck for most tasks, the ram will be. If you're planning on doing 8k, get the m1 pro chip or max chip.
High School Senior is going to college in August 2022 and will be doing heavy science/math courses, some writing and pre-med work over the 4 years. Is the Pro overkill? Maybe it would be great to continue on with her to med school? Also, would love to know the battery life of the M1 vs. M1 Pro. There are no charging stations in classrooms or lecture halls. Thank you for your help.
Based on their program I would say the M1 MacBook Pro with upgraded storage* 1TB would be sufficient. I survived 2 bachelors of science programs with a lesser MacBook Pro. Ultimately, battery life and storage, were key. However If your child’s hobbies and interests outside of academia include creative work like editing photos, or video making then the M1 pro is a faster computer and optimizes the performance of some of those editing programs. Any Mac based laptop, I would say you are likely to see a decrease in performance after 5 years even if it still works functionally. But it sounds like the M1 might be a good starting point- but talk with your kid!
Ive had the 13” M1 MBP since launch, and the only thing that bothers me about it is that it is only 256gb. I hate that apple does that with its computers. I have to use an external SSD to work with large files. They should come with 1TB at the base model.
I'am stuck between macbook pro M1 16gb ram and 512 ssd and the m1 pro base model! should I spend the xtra 300$ to get the new one ? btw I'm upgrading from a 2014 model and plan on keeping my mac for a long time . thank you in advance for suggentions.
Yes spend the $300. I return the 14 m1 base and got the 13m1 base instead . It’s a big upgrade but I had no need to waste $700 more on the 14. I was just using it for browsing and video screaming .
I'm in the exact same position ! Stuck between those two and upgrading from a 2014 model and also planning on keeping it for a long time. I still don't know to do as I prefer the size and portability of the 13" but would rather have the ports of the 14". It is really is the reason why I'm hesitating so much.. I can't really afford the 300$ but could wait if I had to buy the new one..
I was going to get the Air but Best Buy had a deal on a 512 M1 Macbook pro M1 I couldn't pass up....I'm a photographer and the Pro is overkill for me but noway is the 14 for 750 bucks more needed at all....500 nits without hdr is a bummer but still has a great screen to do proper editing....just my 2 cents
Honestly man, it’s all about what programs you are running. Just got the 14” and while it’s definitely fast and a huge upgrade from my previous i5, there’s actually some programs that I use quite often that are Intel based and haven’t been updated to the new m1 architecture. They run on the Rosetta (simply to get them onto the MacBook), but run SUPER SLOW. Like not even usable slow. So just be careful…all these TH-camrs use and test the same applications and mostly are video editing based…but there is other applications (creative ones) that nobody tests and haven’t been optimized….
I got on launch day last week a $2499 14" 10/16/16 (along side AppleCare+ coverage and a 4 TB HDD) and I love it! It's 100% overkill for what I use it for but I want it to last me several years. In terms of laptops I'm coming from a 2015 15" max spec MacBook Pro, so there's that too. I also have an M1 Mac mini that I'm using for a business I'm starting as well as for some streaming to Twitch. I love both of my M1 series Macs to bits and for me being a Mac user is unique again! Good video, Dan! Cheers!
macrumors i have a question what would be a good wallpaper for my m1 chip macbook air macos monterrey wallpaper or chrome blue what would be good for saving battery or do you have another choice and i want people to know i have an m1 macbook so what you think?
Terrible headline, they are definitely worth and everyone knows it. And no an m1 for everyday use isn't practical a lot of times with 8gb of ram, the pro comes with 16gm and the specs make it closer in price so all of the other upgrades for I believe $300 more are a no brainer for most. Terrible statement made by reviewer. Specs matter when comparing apples to apples.
I just got the 2020 M1 pro from last year about a month ago and I Love it! I went to Best Buy and saw the newest on that just came out and I only like the added ports but that’s about it. I love the Touch Bar, the thinner size, and the silver behind the keys and not it being all Black like the newer one. The new one looks outdated to me.

I was looking at exactly that! I'm a photographer, so It's for Capture, then Lightroom and Photoshop. My camera is 45mp. My layer files are 1-2GB. I saw the M1 MacBook Air and thought that with 256GB / 16GB it may work great. Then I was advised to wait for the new Air which will most likely ship with the M1 Pro? I'm not in a hurry but something tells me that one may cost a lot more once you up it to 16GB? On the other hand, it will have a better 14" display, be much faster and HAS to cost less than the 14" MacBook Pro else why not buy the Pro? So I'm stuck. Any advice? Thanks in advance 😊

Also, I don't notice any sluggishness because of the 8GB of RAM. I know they might come up with a 14" Air but I'm pretty sure it' not going to be a Mini LED 120Hz screen. I only want the screen, though 😄
good review. One of my favorite features is the new Duel Monitor Support with the 14 and either one of the Thunderports also charge the MacBook Pro. I can plug my monitors into the sides and it also charges the laptop. Best upgrade I have done so far. it was a good year with last years model.
I just purchased a MacBook Pro 13” (M1, 2020) 512SSD 8GB. I’m upgrading from an old acer laptop 1tb 4gb ram. I wanted this purely for the luxury of working without any hinderance. Emails, office work and programs + browsing also maybe video editing in the future. Just asking if this was a sane purchase or should I sell it after arrival and stretch my budget for a difference model
new M1 MacBook Pros - "16" and 14". The body is squared off and thicker than my 2019 MBP. WHAT??? And it feels cheap, not like the former Airplane Grade aluminum. You knock on it and it feels hollow-ish. And the bottom feet are harder than previous models, almost like a cell phone case that is hard plastic and sort of hits the desk too hard. I am pretty disappointed. Why, Apple, Why?
Hmm i got my MBP M1 on july i upgraded the storage to 512GB and RAM to 16GB. However, i got all these under student deals it also came with free airpod pro
question: i just got the 13 inch, i use laptop for watching netflix, hulu etc in bed. I feel the 13in is too small, wondering if i need the 14 in or the 16 inch? how much bigger does the 14 inch seem as far as experience watching content with laptop on your chest. thx
The parameters of the 2021 are a lot of better, especially the plus 8GB of memory. I had a plan to purchase mainly because of a new display, but unfortunately the design is terribly ugly compared to the 2020 one. Definitely a huge step back. It's like a retro from before 20 years. I think I will wait for the next one and stay with the 2020 model. Hopefully the new design from 2022 or 2023 will look better.
I'm considering getting either the MacBook Air from last year and upgrading the storage and RAM, or getting the new MBP. I do intend to travel with it, so the lighter weight of the Air may be advantageous. But I also want to keep it for, say, the next 5 years. The mini-LED ProMotion screen is great, however at home I normally use it with an external display anyway.
I'm a sucker for nice displays so although the M1 is plenty fast for my needs (Lightroom + Photoshop and some light editing on Pr and Ae), I've decided to go with the 14". Also no touch bar is an option worth paying for ;)
Sorry for re-upload but video needed a quick fix!
Good job!
the title needs a quick fix ;)
battery life wasn't even mentioned on a laptop comparison lol
I just bought a 99% battery life 2020 13” m1 MacBook Pro 16GB / 1TB for $820. I think it’s far more compatible to the 14” he tested in this video. I think it’s probably the best deal / value in laptops right now. M1 is still more than enough for most people.
I know I am in the minority here, but I love The Touch Bar. The ability to get type suggestions, move progress bar when playing a video, changing tabs in a browser, answering and ending video calls are features that I got very used to. It was created for pros and I dont even edit anything on it. Not to mention, more and more creatives are saying how they miss Touch Bar. You dont know what you have until its gone haha R.I.P Touch Bar
I don’t get all the hate either. I keep reaching out to the function keys now and realise the Touch Bar is gone. I loved being able to quickly delete emails or reply, scrub through videos, etc. It definitely had more potential to live up to but it was handy more often than not.
I agree, I want the touch bar and will miss it if they take it fully away one day. I feel like it takes some time to fully appreciate the touch bar; I know it was that way for me. But if you take the time to learn how to make it work best for you, it can be really great and a fun piece of tech. It is extremely useful for me when filling out webforms, I love how it gives you name and address suggestions just like on the iPhone, so quick and easy. And just simple things like the animated arrow telling you to use Touch ID, sure you don't NEED it but it is good visual feedback on what the system is waiting on. I really thought Apple would go all-in and put the bar on the iMac keyboard, etc. but I think they have just gotten tired of people constantly complaining about something new and just said "fine" and went back to 2015.
Same here. They could have added the touch bar above the physical keyboard and still make everyone happy. 😅
@@markjotep haha that would be dope
I use touch bar, but I hate how common keys like sound volume control and brightness control are moving and collapsing in certain apps. I would say, there should either be dedicated keys for common controls or these controls should be always visible on a touch bar. Not sure if there is a way to configure this.
Anyways, looking at new Macbook Pro - it is just way bulkier and heavier than the previous 13" model which for me is a huge con. Besides, I've already got used to having only thunderbolt ports. I've got rather expensive card + USB A adapter but I rarely use it now. Thus, first I was excited that they now offer a variety of ports again, but then I've realised that I have never used more than 2 thunderbolt ports at once.
Give me dedicated common control keys + that narrow bevel + the power of 14", but in a weight and size of 13" - and I'm ready to pay as much as 14" cost now.
For now, my choice if Macbook M1 13" 16Gb/512Gb.
They can easily offer the Touch Bar as an option for the new Macs and make everyone happy
Apple always, and I mean always leave one thing off their products that everyone wants. Then they release a new version with that feature. Original iPhone no actual apps. MagSafe. Ports. Tele or wide angle lens. You name it. The way they keep getting people to upgrade is to make big shiny improvements and hamstring the products. As far as I'm concerned this is the first time they've made a MacBook as good as the 2012 since...well...2012.
I got the 14 and there’s things that are better that you don’t expect. The extra screen real estate is very noticeable, the speakers are incredible and the bigger function keys are way nicer. I know all the reviewers say if you’re a pro, get the pro but it’s noticeably better for regular consumers too if you can stretch your budget.
I so wish I could have afforded to purchase this over the M1 Air! The Air is amazing and already a massive upgrade over what I had before, but I really would love to have the 14” Pro’s display!
I need there to be more comments like this so I can justify buying the base 14" to watch TH-cam, use Microsoft Office and do some very basic R programming 😂😂😂💸💸
@@ryanps1598 Ha there was a 10% off deal here in Australia as well so it was a somewhat good deal. I don't think I could've stretched to purchase it at full price.
@@ryanps1598 no shame at all. buy the s#%t out of it man… this thing is crazy, extremely pricey yet I’m willing to drop some 💰 on it without blinking
@@ryanps1598 for me important reasons to buy Macbook M1 Pro 13" over 14" are: smaller, significantly lighter. Important reasons to buy Macbook M1 Pro 13" over M1 Air: brighter screen (500 nits vs 400 nits, and my current Macbook Pro 2018 has 500 nits, I am not willing to go lower), sound quality (from what I know, sound quality on Air is a bit worse).
Overall, currently M1 Air costs around 15% less than Macbook M1 Pro 13" and Macbook M1 Pro 13" costs around 25% less than 14". I am okay to spend 15% more comparing to Air, but not okay to pay 25% to get heavier and bulkier machine.
Bought a used M1 for a great deal on forums. Huge improvement over my 2017 i5 (which still runs great)
my 2017 13 inch sucks so bad i absolutely hate nearly everything about it... keyboard is the worst thing ive ever had to deal with
@@lilBabyBornInCalifornia i got the 2016 13” and didn’t realize how bad the performance is on even the i7 processors in the 13”. it’s crashed on my music production so many times since i owned it. def excited for my new 14” to come in!
Why is every Macbook review about video editing? I mean come on, if you edit videos and photos all day on your Macbook, you seriously need to get a desktop. I cannot find a single video about the new Macbook Pro 14 on how it compares to the 13 inch in everyday usage scenerios like borwsing web, watching movies, youtube, using word, excel and how does the battery compares.
Because those everyday applications would never stress that processors enough to even justify the comparison. That’s why video editing is a great way to put more pressure on the system.
It’s like buying a GTR to drive to the grocery store 1Mile away and the speed limits 20mph. Unless your getting in the highway or really hitting the pedal then you might as well get a civic.
I think it's because honestly no need to get this if that's all you are doing. This is a tool for designers which is why I don't have one. Well I do but for work I have my windows machine. I still use my 2015 MacBook pro and it's more than enough
Cause anything made in the last 5 years can do that no problem
if someone buys last years MBP M1 and add extra ram and SSD to make it 16GB / 512GB for $1700, it would be one of the dumbest purchases ever. For extra $300 for the the new MBP M1 Pro, you get a way faster chip, mini LED display, 120hz, ports, MagSafe, bigger screen, better camera, and much more. That's a hell of deal for extra $300.
True, managed to get a 10% discount on the week old 14" base model and the list of extra's made it a no brainer.
But if the person doesn't have the extra $300 and wants to buy the best possible machine? Don't say, "Save for another two or three months"'. Life is not just about buying a computer, sometimes it's not convenient or it's simply not possible.
@@animerecortadox That's a fair point and one that can only be answered by those making the decison. For me I was lucky enough to be able to afford that. Likewsie I cant afford a ferrari so I buy what I can afford. The best possible computer is the one you can afford.
@@animerecortadox This is true for countries where we pay a bit higher prices due to the "Apple Taxes" outside the US. Just like in the Philippines, it's probably gonna cost us almost close to US$350 for the additional cost. Plus, Apple products are only available usually one to two months after the launch in the US.
@@EcoGamer831 You are lucky.
In Brazil, that upgrade will cost us around $500.
Fanless and absolutely quiet! Insane M1 Power for C++, Java, C# and Swift Programming! What makes me also very happy on the MBA M1 16GB 1TB is without TouchBar and Notch! The MBA M1 is also very small and light for traveling, in will be the king of Apple for years!
Omg this is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I was thinking I’d need the Pro for programming
This is the comparison and explanation that I needed! Thanks 🙏🏾
The touchbar sold me. For a first time Mac user coming from Windows, it's the best tech for me
The new Macbook Pro is nice, but I can't live without the Touch Bar (which is super handy albeit deeply misunderstood / or costly - only Apple knows the truth).
So why do reviews like this seem to limit the type of users to a dichotomy between "just browsing, checking emails, watching videos, typing documents" and "creatives who edit and render high res videos". There are more actual "pros" who don't belong to these categories.
Instead of upgrading 2020 m1's ram to 16gb and SSD to 512GB, I chose the 14" M1 pro base model for additional $300. It's worth it and more future friendly than the first gen M1 processor.
wondering the same
@@MattVibes so the thing is the first gen m1s except maybe the m1 max will probably all rotate out of support at the same time due to underlying architecture constraints apple has had a history of ending support on still capable hardware all because one part of that generation can't keep up which will probably be the m1 airs lowest bin
@@alexmeek610 I've never heard of Mac support being a problem tbh, Apple supports them for between 8 and 10 years which is long enough for me ahaha.
@@MattVibes I just received mine today. It's amazing! 14" is just the right size 😂
I don't think MBP M1 would lose support significantly earlier, at all. I honestly find it kind of sinister to see that M1 Pro and Max are always compared to MBP M1 with 8 GB's of ram to probably show a bigger performance gap.
It hilarious watching these reviews and sort of knocking the normal M1 yet these machines are dramatically faster than most PCs and also the computers they replaced. There needs to be a bit of grounding in comparison, compare it to the base 2020 iMac and Mac Pro and the M1 beats both... so are still insane machines for what they are.
That what I don't like about these reviews and apples claims. Just a couple months ago, that 2020 m1 was the "fastest" and "most pro laptop in the world"... 🤦
Its just the TH-cam hype train lol. 3 months ago they were all spamming videos about how the M1 base model is INSANE and still AMAZING. But now as soon as something faster comes out, suddenly they aren't anymore.
If you wanna pay $1000 more to save 2 minutes on a render go ahead lmfao.. 200% faster means nothing when you realise that 200% means a few minutes at most
Exactly. The M1 MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB is powerful enough for most professionals. The 13 inch MacBook Pro M1 beats last generation 16 inch MacBook Pro fully maxed out and professionals were using that. It’s all just silly.
Oh come on guys, be fair, the video is called M1 vs M1 pro. It is not saying the M1 is crap, it is just saying the M1 pro is better.
It's just that when TH-camrs get the best kit, they feel the need to be patronising towards lesser models as they now can be viewed as the "budget" option.
Would have been better to compare the high end M1 with the base model M1 Pro..
true
taking 8gb version for a laptop that has less cores only strengthen the impression, so that m13 pro is crap comparing to 14..
For me, not worth it, and the M1 MBP has been running for < $1K on Best buy frequently. The M1 MBP are used for my kids for school and while it is overkill for what they need it has made remote learning and doing hw a much more pleasant experience. The touchbar will be missed as Emoji's selection, zoom play/mute, and video scrubbing are things they have been using. Would love to see the M1 keep the design in 2022, but with more ports like M1 pro.
Could you do a 14 vs 13 inch in depth battery test?
Regular m1 is good enough for 98% of people .. if your a professional get a m1 pro or max
how do you say that a macbook m1 is only suitable for basic jobs? this is incorrect information and the macbook pro m1 is an excellent work machine, moreover much more portable and beautiful than the new 14 and 16 inch pro
Right!
And has a very neat feature: a Touch Bar (LOVE IT!!!)
I had the 13” MacBook Air but traded it in for the 14” M1. It was a world of difference. The 13” was so slow and the M1 is a speed demon. No regrets.
What about battery life, how does it hold up for day-to-day compared to ur 13?
Still do not get it, why they have not yet inroduced the Mac Mini Pro version.. these are desktops, desktop should have more power in favour of porability. Better cooling and so on. Mac Mini could be the best desktop in the world if Apple has smart people there. But to be honest - I do not bellieve that. And if they will do it. The prices will rip off the jaws.
Just upgraded my M1 Mac Mini to the M1 Pro 14” and I love it! Video editing is a breeze and I can still dock it into my desk setup. Performance is honestly insane, and so far near silent.
Looking forward to the new M1 iMac Pros 😍😍
What about fan noise?

I'm so torn. I want to replace my 2017 MacBook Pro 13", but I'd like to see what the next MacBook Air looks like. Rumors that it won't be 14" which is disappointing. I don't mind the rumored white keyboard although the white bezels don't thrill me. I may just have to get a base 14" MacBook Pro M1 Pro.
If you really want to wait 6 to 12 months… if you can wait that long, maybe you don’t really need a new computer yet.
finally the video I wanted, thank you macrumours
The old design is so much better
Facts
Why am I confused? Constant mixing performance and form factor spec: 13” M1 Air & M1 Pro. vs 14” M1 MBP… I mean I get it and it helped but please stick to TWO models when comparing and do another cross model vid if necessary. Thanks
hi, what camera do you use for your videos? it's fantastic.
Portability is why the 13" is best for me. I picked up the 14" in an Apple Store and it feels quite heavy. The screen is awesome, but if you use a MacBook Pro and a Mac mini / desktop....for me the 13" is the best option.
difference in price between MacBook pro m1 16ram 512gb and MacBook pro m1pro base model is 900$ in my country PL(EU)
the cheapest brand new MacBook pro m1 from walmart kind of store outlet will cost now 2600$
the battery???i need more informations between them, thanks
Battery is better on the regular M1 because you have more efficiency cores and no HDR
I just wish they offered the new chassis with the M1 chip to reduce the overall cost. That’s what I would have gotten. That being said I just purchased the M1 pro 14”
Lol! If you wait 1 or 2 years, then you’ll probably gonna see the 14” model on the Pro and Air
@@oscarcastro9316 I’m tired of waiting haha, I’m gonna stick with my 14” mbp M1 pro for like 5-10 years hopefully.
Can you do a low power mode vs normal more battery test for the new models?
The M1 Pro is so fast. Love it. Love your content too.
The same thing people say about the m1, "that is a powerful machine to work on graphics and those stuff", and now bc u say is not true ? Don't make me laugh, I'm a software engineer and I spend $2000 on the m1, and work perfect to develop on unit, Visual studio and developing heavy apps and softwares.

my problem between both is the touch bar , I really like the idea of the touch bar , however I think the new 14" Macbook is doing much better , any good advice in here?
thanks in advance
i love the touchbar on mine but ended up deciding all the upgrades were worth it to order the 14. i think i’ll get over it pretty fast with the performance
I love the touch bar! I hope the new macbook pro 2022 has a touch bar on it with the old ports! That would be very perfect! Definitely will upgrade from 2018 to 2022 🤩😂
I mean if I can edit 4k videos fine on the m1 Mac why would I need an m1 pro? I think it should be stated if you are editing with 8k you probably need the m1 pro. 4k and below, the m1 Mac is more than sufficient. 1080p the m1 Mac will be like butter. I'd rather Pocket the $700 and buy external ssd and more accessories. I Also like how the m1 Mac is thinner and sleeker although you lose the ports. A good dock fixes that though and it's better to have a dock instead of having to replug things in all the time if you did have the ports.
I used a 24 inch m1 imac for editing a 1080p video and it wasn't like buttery smooth. When I hit playback right after I edit something, it's usually rendering and the quality drops and it even lags sometimes.
@@JS-uo6or Sorry to hear that but you have something wrong with your computer i guess :/ I do have base model M1 MBA and M1 MBP with 16gigs they both are much much more than enough on 1080p. I mean computer itself not even lagged once in full workload(m1 mbp with all 16gigs used + 6gigs swap memory while using blender imo which is still not good and fully optimized for m1 apple silicon
The difference would probably be more export time, than doing the actual edits. At least that's what I've seen so far in doing 4k in Premiere. the m1 pro I think has encoders/decoders for 8k pro res. I spent 79 dollars on an anker doc with 3 USB ports and an hdmi port for when I'm at my desk.
Guys, help me out here. Do you think the old MacBook Pro has a more all round solid feel to it compared to the new one? There’s something about the previous MacBook Pro which felt more of a unibody slab feel to it. Or maybe its just I’m not used to the new design.
Wow no response to my helpful comment lol
Thanks for your video, it is worth every minute watching this because I have my answer to decide to upgrade to M1 MacB pro 14’ 2021.
got a brand new M1 with 8-512 for $1250 to my door step from army exchange store. I really need it for occasional Lightroom classic editing and M1 would be more than enough I believe.
Bought a refurb M1 Air w/ 1tb SSD and 16gb ram for less than $1400. I’m really good
Just ordered my m1pro 10/14/6 mbp with 16gb ram and 1tb ssd. So ready for the upgrade to make some crazy music
Idk i got 14mbp and watched 6hr hd youtube video battery reach 0 for 6 hr. Wtf apple? 🤬
So I still question Apple that these two laptops are the same thickness (or thinness, as SJ would say). Are they measuring without the little feet? I know there is some visual trickery going on with the 13" model, but even adjusting for that the 14" looks bigger. Can anyone verify one way or another?
Apple have got this badly wrong. I have been waiting for the new MacBook Pro to replace my current 5 year old model. But that notch and the PRICE are ridiculous. I will keep my current laptop going as long as possible but if that becomes unworkable I will have to look at other options. That means switching to PC and the very many powerful and more cost effective options. BTW, Your sales pitch for the MacBook Pro is transparent. Last year’s epic M1 has suddenly become too slow ??? Nonsense.
You’re actually fizzing in your chair over a notch on a laptop screen 😂
why do you want the pro laptop? for performance right? if a notch that goes away in a fullscreen, and a price that is justifiable as a pro, is deterring you from buying this product, maybe you werent the target audience in the first place

I am so confused it if over a 300$ difference for me as i am looking at refurbished units. The m1 has a 1tb ssd and 16gb ram. The m1pro 16gb ram, and 512 gb ssd. I haven’t Ted done a lot of video editing, it is however something i am interested in. I am also planting in taking data analysis and python programming certificate classes. I do like to take pictures and record ABs edit music as well. I can get the m1 frombackmarket in good condition, with 30 day return, and a year warranty. Optional extended .
And the M1 Pro from Amazon renewed, in premium condition, which come with a year warranty, which includes the option to return for the entire year. M1, $832 which comes to about 902. So it is a difference if over 300 + !
The M1pro is 1167
Which comes to about 1260 with tax.
Which is better for programming in both of them
I’m wondering what folks think about bumping up the RAM on the M1 Pro 14 to 32GB? If I plan to own this laptop for 5-7 years is that the smart move or overkill? I love Apple but the RAM upgrades are way overpriced.
They say, to make it future friendly, upgrade the ram. Cos you can always plug a external drive. But 16gb is moooore then enough in the next 3-4 years.
The question is - will your 2021 laptop support MacOS versions of, say, 2026. For example, currently Intel chips have a lot of reported issues with MacOS Big Sur. I own Macbook Pro 2018 and it definitely has issues with various apps - it tends to stuck badly time to time, only resetting helps.
I am personally aiming on around 4 years of use. And in 4 years, I reckon 16Gb should be enough, especially for the price they ask for 32Gb upgrade.

I'm interested in the question of autonomy when comparing MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro (basic) vs MacBook Pro 13" M1.
for me, battery life is just important, since it's very cool when a laptop can be used all day without charging, and the MacBook Pro 13 "M1 is top in this regard (I don't consider 16 inches because it's too bulky).
but I also like the cooler screen and sound of the MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro + new design.

And another question about heating? Is there a big difference between them in heating (when browsing and watching TH-cam, etc.)?

which one should you get for simply watching things such as a netflix and youtube and also school work? i have a very old macbook pro and the speakers no longer work T-T so id really like to upgrade
Macbook air m1 will suffice.
In Australia it costs $3000!
For straight up performance for dollar... the MBA M1 8 core GPU, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd is the best deal, $1449 and $1349 often on sale. Skip the 13 MBP entirely...or go with 14 and maybe 32gb ram as well for a "step up" if you need the extra performance. If you do need the extra performance, the CPU diff is likely not going to be the bottle neck for most tasks, the ram will be. If you're planning on doing 8k, get the m1 pro chip or max chip.
High School Senior is going to college in August 2022 and will be doing heavy science/math courses, some writing and pre-med work over the 4 years. Is the Pro overkill? Maybe it would be great to continue on with her to med school? Also, would love to know the battery life of the M1 vs. M1 Pro. There are no charging stations in classrooms or lecture halls. Thank you for your help.
The pro is not overkill. I would go with the Pro
Based on their program I would say the M1 MacBook Pro with upgraded storage* 1TB would be sufficient. I survived 2 bachelors of science programs with a lesser MacBook Pro. Ultimately, battery life and storage, were key. However If your child’s hobbies and interests outside of academia include creative work like editing photos, or video making then the M1 pro is a faster computer and optimizes the performance of some of those editing programs. Any Mac based laptop, I would say you are likely to see a decrease in performance after 5 years even if it still works functionally. But it sounds like the M1 might be a good starting point- but talk with your kid!
Pro is an overkill, u need the better battery life of the M1
What happened to the illuminated keyboard?
I’m pretty sure the new model still has a backlit keyboard
recently i used touch for only one reason:))) to skip youtube ads :)))
Ive had the 13” M1 MBP since launch, and the only thing that bothers me about it is that it is only 256gb. I hate that apple does that with its computers. I have to use an external SSD to work with large files. They should come with 1TB at the base model.
I'am stuck between macbook pro M1 16gb ram and 512 ssd and the m1 pro base model! should I spend the xtra 300$ to get the new one ? btw I'm upgrading from a 2014 model and plan on keeping my mac for a long time . thank you in advance for suggentions.
I have the same dilemma. wanted to upgrade from my mbp mid 2012 🤣
Yes spend the $300. I return the 14 m1 base and got the 13m1 base instead . It’s a big upgrade but I had no need to waste $700 more on the 14. I was just using it for browsing and video screaming .
I'm in the exact same position ! Stuck between those two and upgrading from a 2014 model and also planning on keeping it for a long time. I still don't know to do as I prefer the size and portability of the 13" but would rather have the ports of the 14". It is really is the reason why I'm hesitating so much.. I can't really afford the 300$ but could wait if I had to buy the new one..
@@Flaura2710 after all, I bought the 14inch instead. The screen and build quality feels more premium than the 13inch..
I was going to get the Air but Best Buy had a deal on a 512 M1 Macbook pro M1 I couldn't pass up....I'm a photographer and the Pro is overkill for me but noway is the 14 for 750 bucks more needed at all....500 nits without hdr is a bummer but still has a great screen to do proper editing....just my 2 cents
To me the M1 pro looks better than the air. I chose the M1 pro as well.
I have the M1 MacBook Pro with 16gb of Ram is it much of a difference in performance with the 14inch base MacBook Pro?
Honestly man, it’s all about what programs you are running. Just got the 14” and while it’s definitely fast and a huge upgrade from my previous i5, there’s actually some programs that I use quite often that are Intel based and haven’t been updated to the new m1 architecture. They run on the Rosetta (simply to get them onto the MacBook), but run SUPER SLOW. Like not even usable slow. So just be careful…all these TH-camrs use and test the same applications and mostly are video editing based…but there is other applications (creative ones) that nobody tests and haven’t been optimized….
I got on launch day last week a $2499 14" 10/16/16 (along side AppleCare+ coverage and a 4 TB HDD) and I love it! It's 100% overkill for what I use it for but I want it to last me several years. In terms of laptops I'm coming from a 2015 15" max spec MacBook Pro, so there's that too. I also have an M1 Mac mini that I'm using for a business I'm starting as well as for some streaming to Twitch. I love both of my M1 series Macs to bits and for me being a Mac user is unique again! Good video, Dan! Cheers!
I had a 16gb 1 tb 2015 MacBook Pro 15"... the Base model MBA is faster.
macrumors i have a question what would be a good wallpaper for my m1 chip macbook air macos monterrey wallpaper or chrome blue what would be good for saving battery or do you have another choice and i want people to know i have an m1 macbook so what you think?
Why isnt the keyboard backlit ?
Terrible headline, they are definitely worth and everyone knows it. And no an m1 for everyday use isn't practical a lot of times with 8gb of ram, the pro comes with 16gm and the specs make it closer in price so all of the other upgrades for I believe $300 more are a no brainer for most. Terrible statement made by reviewer. Specs matter when comparing apples to apples.
How long is the 13 inch gonna be available for? Because I plan on getting it around Christmas but don’t want it to be discontinued by then
it will be available for a long time, don't worry
Don't buy it, the touchbar is officially abandoned. Get the air with the same spec.
@@gaborperenyi8934 thank you 🙏
@@cesrrr01 good point but I need the fan for better cooling, I’m a software engineering student
I just got the 2020 M1 pro from last year about a month ago and I Love it! I went to Best Buy and saw the newest on that just came out and I only like the added ports but that’s about it. I love the Touch Bar, the thinner size, and the silver behind the keys and not it being all Black like the newer one. The new one looks outdated to me.
MacBook Pros may be thicker, but Dan here looks thinner!
Is MacBook Air good for iOS development?
not in terms of standing the test of time compared to a macbook pro
I need help on specking out my New macbook pro 14 inch without having to go nuts and ordering the one i have in mind whick is 4200 dollars so in a way save me from my self.
All i need is a macbook pro m1 that Will allow me to learn how to use ableton live and logic pro without having to tweak the think in order to work as it should basicaly do what i tell it to do rather then IT frustrating me in the process.
I do want to tweak the system but only 400/500 dollars extra but the one i have in mind is 850.
So here is the thing do i upgrade the cpu too
10/14
16gb ram
1tb ssd
Do i get the base
8/14
32gb ram
512GB ssd
Which one is the smart upgrade i should do without going nuts and Just upgrade all 3 factors.
Like i said i am intending to use this laptop to learn so it Will not be pushed hard ass i begin but something that is safe to have for 3/5 years as this is an expensive piece of magic computer.
I still have my 17 inch macbook pro 2008 and it works fine and so does my 2012 16gb ram 1tbss 15 inch in almost New condition.
Thx in advance.
Hi when I use istatistica, one of the sensors comes out as "noname" it has me worried, someone has seen it?
I have the m1 air with just 16 gb of mem. It’s outstanding!
My only problem is that I like the air but I’m scared of how high the CPU temps get because it’s fanless
I was looking at exactly that! I'm a photographer, so It's for Capture, then Lightroom and Photoshop. My camera is 45mp. My layer files are 1-2GB. I saw the M1 MacBook Air and thought that with 256GB / 16GB it may work great. Then I was advised to wait for the new Air which will most likely ship with the M1 Pro? I'm not in a hurry but something tells me that one may cost a lot more once you up it to 16GB? On the other hand, it will have a better 14" display, be much faster and HAS to cost less than the 14" MacBook Pro else why not buy the Pro? So I'm stuck. Any advice? Thanks in advance 😊
@@apusista I would NOT advise the 256gb. I had to get one in a pinch b/c my other laptop broke it's screen, but now getting a 512gb/16gb 8 core model and giving the lower specced 8gb/256gb 7 core model to my wife (perfect for her). After installing MS office and all my Adobe Apps, there is only 105gb of data left on it. That's not even enough to pull down a 128gb memory card from my camera during a shoot.
@@TheJoejoez Thanks so much for your reply 😊 I totally agree with you. 512GB for sure. In fact, 512GB should be the MacBook minimum but that's Apple. Nowadays 256GB is gaining popularity on phones as people like to store video and not worry about filling up a 128GB. I personally don't need more than 128GB on a phone but young people prefer 256GB.
@@apusista I'm considering MBA 16GB/1TB 8C8C for $1250 Used versus a MBP M1PRO 16GB/1TB 10C16C for $2390effective New...
Is $1140 worth the screen/magsafe/ports/faster SSD? A whole other laptop could be bought lol
I'm a heavy photo editor in lightroom classic, and for example, I paste edits to 200 photos or export 42mp photo files in batches of upwards of 200 in a set. Is there a performance difference between those configurations that I'll see?
I get paid for my photography, small gigs-word of mouth, as a small side hustle for extra income. Hobby slowly building up. Is the performance boost negligible in that use-case? And does it come down to how much the extra upgrades matter versus what the $1140 could go towards or be saved?
I am looking for portablety and screen specs. new 14 is a great machine for screen but it has really a high price, 13 is portable but screen is good but 14 is really great. i can not decide :( 😔😔
Save the extra money the 14 inch is next level believe me! I made the leap and very happy with my choice
@@TraderJono thanx a lot. Now I am %51 on 14 inch side :)
Those prices though ouch
I just want the screen. Give me a 14" with 8GB / 256GB and I'll upgrade from my 13" MBP M1. I have 190GB free out of the 256GB. I don't understand why ppl are so crazy about storage, except if you work with video, sure. Not everyone in this world is a video editor/TH-camr. Also, I don't notice any sluggishness because of the 8GB of RAM.
I know they might come up with a 14" Air but I'm pretty sure it' not going to be a Mini LED 120Hz screen. I only want the screen, though 😄
8:05 - Yes, the screen is larger, but I just can’t get over how TERRIBLE that notch looks, when I see the 2 screens side-by-side like that.
good review. One of my favorite features is the new Duel Monitor Support with the 14 and either one of the Thunderports also charge the MacBook Pro. I can plug my monitors into the sides and it also charges the laptop. Best upgrade I have done so far. it was a good year with last years model.
I hate when my monitors fight all the time too
I just purchased a MacBook Pro 13” (M1, 2020) 512SSD 8GB. I’m upgrading from an old acer laptop 1tb 4gb ram. I wanted this purely for the luxury of working without any hinderance. Emails, office work and programs + browsing also maybe video editing in the future. Just asking if this was a sane purchase or should I sell it after arrival and stretch my budget for a difference model
Thx, Paul Kellerman!
new M1 MacBook Pros - "16" and 14". The body is squared off and thicker than my 2019 MBP. WHAT??? And it feels cheap, not like the former Airplane Grade aluminum. You knock on it and it feels hollow-ish. And the bottom feet are harder than previous models, almost like a cell phone case that is hard plastic and sort of hits the desk too hard. I am pretty disappointed. Why, Apple, Why?
Hmm i got my MBP M1 on july i upgraded the storage to 512GB and RAM to 16GB. However, i got all these under student deals it also came with free airpod pro
omg where did you get that deal? I am unable to find it on the apple website
thank you thank you
@@WhimsicallyMe it was a offer on apple during july to September so technically i save $200 and a free airpods
question: i just got the 13 inch, i use laptop for watching netflix, hulu etc in bed. I feel the 13in is too small, wondering if i need the 14 in or the 16 inch? how much bigger does the 14 inch seem as far as experience watching content with laptop on your chest. thx
Looks like with Jonathan Ive leaving Apple, the whole design team left... it looks like MacBook Pro from 2010... so thick...
1,999? seriously? no thanks.
the notch is just absurd
The parameters of the 2021 are a lot of better, especially the plus 8GB of memory. I had a plan to purchase mainly because of a new display, but unfortunately the design is terribly ugly compared to the 2020 one. Definitely a huge step back. It's like a retro from before 20 years. I think I will wait for the next one and stay with the 2020 model. Hopefully the new design from 2022 or 2023 will look better.
I'm considering getting either the MacBook Air from last year and upgrading the storage and RAM, or getting the new MBP. I do intend to travel with it, so the lighter weight of the Air may be advantageous. But I also want to keep it for, say, the next 5 years. The mini-LED ProMotion screen is great, however at home I normally use it with an external display anyway.
Can’t wait to get my 14” 10 core and see how fast it exports video and handles photoshop!
I'm a sucker for nice displays so although the M1 is plenty fast for my needs (Lightroom + Photoshop and some light editing on Pr and Ae), I've decided to go with the 14". Also no touch bar is an option worth paying for ;)
