@@xstoofpeerThe problem for me with a desktop computer (even the 24 inch imac M1) is that you have to raise your head to look at the screen and therefore you look above the eye line, whereas with a laptop we look down a bit like we do when reading a book.
It’s legit like this 😂. I got the 16 thought oh man I made a mistake. Returned it. Got 14. Week later returned went back to 16. Dumbest time of my life. I still have that thought in the back of my head like do I want a 14 again next generation? Shit no idk Ehhhh I can’t believe I still think that.
@@breezefps yes no questions asked 14 days return policy. I personally don’t have an Apple Store nearby so I order online and return can be done via FedEx. Though if you have one near you can use that store for both buying/ordering and returns even from online order. You can in fact on the 14th day initiate a return at 11:59pm on your account and then have 14 more days to drop it at FedEx or cancel the return. Very nice for those times you may not be sure about your purchase as this is a shit ton of money.
As a general reply when the M2 came out I did it again 😂 14” silver to 16” silver to 16” space grey to 14” silver to 16” space grey and kept it. Literally felt like I was having a god damn brain stroke.

the reasons why am sticking to my 16 inch are THE SPEAKERS AND THE BATTERY . the battery of the 16 inch is RIDICULOUSLY GOOD ! I top up the battery every morning , spend the entire day in office on battery and finish a day of work with 60-65% battery left ! That's insane !

@@bayareafactorbaby8913 Depends on whether you use Davinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro, or Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro is not as fast as the other two. I think 4K video with LUTs is just fine for a few layers of video, but not for too much. If editing heavily on 4K footage, I'd recommend waiting for the Max, it'll be worth it then.
I watched this video before getting a 14" and felt EXACTLY the same before AND after and it's hard to believe because I was so dead set. Coming back to say thanks I should have listened lol.
I was thinking of sending back my 16" M1Max for a 14" M1Pro and you just gave me all the reasons why I should not do that. Thank you! After about 2 weeks of using it, I also noticed that the large trackpad is just too damn good! Giving it back for the smaller one might not be the best trade off if it ends up slowing me down.
Pretty much the reasons i was going instantly for the 16" (as well because of the sound), the 14" looked already in the shop like a bigger netbook and i hated since ever the thin speaker grills, the 15 and 16" models always looked (and sounded) better. But battery and screen size were the main reasons for 16". I even got away with the base model 16/512, with a Sabrent TB4 external drive its basically as fast as the internal SSD. I have mostly between 200-300GB free space on the internal SSD and this is enough for shorter videos as well, for bigger stuff i need the 2TB sabrent drive which is also handy with about 2500-2700MB/s. Also, since i have to share sometimes hundreds of GB astrophotography data with a windows Desktop to stack/process with my preffered program (Deep Sky Stacker, Windows exclusive) i have to rely anyways very much on external drives.
Love my 16" M1 Max but for what my day job (lots of different locations, 4 wheel office) it is just too big. Ended up keeping it as my in home computer and added the M2 13 Air, with which I am totally impressed. Best of both worlds set up.
Great video. In store the 16" looks massive compared to the 14" even though the specs are identical. I always use a wireless keyboard and mouse when I am not connected to my edit bay to avoid the trackpad issue. I want my workflow to stay identical wherever I edit. I usually pack a collapsable mac stand to have the MBP at eye level.
The specs aren’t identical. The base 16” is faster than the base 14”. If you want the 14” with the same spec as the base 16” you need to upgrade it for $300 more dollars and at that point why not spend the extra $200 left to get the 16”.
Great decision. As a student and no video editing work flow, I decide to pick base model that with 512 gb is enough for me. And since portability is not an issue, then why not bigger screen real estate~
This video summed up exactly how I felt about the 14 vs 16. I went with the 16 because I wanted the laptop to actually be a laptop and it is a side to my main windows desktop. But I want the ability to edit on the laptop or just use it on the couch or just not be forced to sit at the desk. I can use my laptop laying down. But I can’t lay down and use my desktop lol. I was going to order the 512 gig and do the same thing as you with a 2tb nvme USB C external enclosure. But then I changed my mind and actually got the one terabyte because if I install a bunch of applications I know I will have at least 300 gigs free on the internal. Then if I record a lot on a weekend trip. I can just use that internal drive to hold 300 gigs of projects it’s enough.
I want to get a MacBook Pro w/ M1 MAX 10/32 core chipset, 32Gb RAM, and 1Tb SSD. Plan on doing photography editing, videography editing when I get a motorcycle, and school work as well as my ground school lessons to get my pilots license. I am only 16, so getting a $3,099 + tax laptop is a BIG decision.. My question is, if I edit videos that may be around 100Gb on average, then once my memory fills up, can I delete those video edits and just restart with let’s say a new months of work?
@@swiift2k538 A fortnite kiddie with 16 years young, literally fresh from the soup is getting a M1 Max, ouch. Oh wait, if anything of that "pilots license" thing is real your parents are anyways rich af get a maxxed out M2 Max
Maybe for content creators or software developers, the 16-inch is a better fit. I think for anyone else 14-inch is the perfect laptop. It's so portable and yet powerful.
@@extremelucky1 yeah I can definitely see that.. my biggest compromise was the size when it comes to portability.. apple hasn’t sent my trade in kit and I’m still contemplating if keeping the air is worth the giving back the $440 credit they gave me.. but since I have the 12.9 iPad Pro it’s not like I don’t have a portable solution
Great video. I have had the 15 in for 10 years and have tried the 14in Pro. It feels really tiny and a long way away from my hands; the screen is noticeably smaller. I can see it being good for travelers, but I'm looking forward to trying the 16in.
Ive always gotten the 13 inch because I am a computer Science major. I wanted something portable. But recently when the new pros came out I got the 14 and then a couple days later decided to get the 16 also. At first the 16 was very big but I got use to it. Now I am having issues deciding. I like both computers for different reasons... ugh
im going to start my Computer Science bachelor after the summer and am trying to decide wether to get the 14" or the 16" model. For programming the 16" might be better because of the bigger screen size, so you can see more lines of code, I also like the bigger battery on the 16". The 14" is just easier to carry around. Still trying to make a decision....
@@zakaria1656 TLDR; If you will be working mostly with bigger screens, get the 14" for mobility. Otherwise get the bigger screen. I know I have commented on something else here but I am a programmer for about 12 years with various experience in working on different laptop sizes. I'd say if you will only be working on the laptop, exclusively, then get the 16" model since it is more real estate and less "alt + tab" all the time which is really can get annoying for the work flow. you can see more lines of code if you of course choose a smaller font but for the long run its not so comfortable. I work with a 14" thinkpad and I only chose this one because at work I have two 24" monitors this laptop is connected to at the office. When I am at home and without any extrnal screens its okay to work on this one for the day, but if it was like this for the entirety of college it would get me crazy. Good luck bud
That's a great decision! You chose the one that would be more beneficial with your lifestyle and line of work. This video will definitely help people who are struggling to decide which one to pick! 😅
I just ordered a 16" max with 64gb ram and 32 gpu with 2 tb storage. My situation is different. It's replacing my 27" iMac and will be my main machine for video/photo editing and will live on my office desk connected to a monitor most of the time. Probably still overkill but I keep my computers for 7-8yrs and I feel it will be future proof for me. Also I shoot with a Canon r5 and have never touched 8k that it's capable but maybe in years to come that will be a thing so...
Just canceled my order because/thanks to you... i am huge trackpad fan, it's a big part of my workflow as a music producer, i have even bought the magic trackpad to get the same feeling...
I agree. Bought 16” last year, I travel a lot and work remote. My work flow at work needs 4 different chrome tabs open which means the change from 14 to 16 was a game changer. Also during the summer I travel a lot and also work and the 500 nit to 1000 mit difference made a lot of difference when working at the beach. Sometimes it does get annoying the lack of portability but there’s always a inverse relation between portability vs productivity. I think the best set up for me is just the mac with a case not cover or pouch, and no mouse or track pad
Glad to hear you are liking the 16! 2 years later and I’m still happy with my decision. I’m currently flying 4 times a week and it’s been great having the larger size to work on flights
@@JordanPulmano it is great when you are in the go to have more screen real estate if you can’t connect to a dedicated monitor. I’m still mad I got the smaller iPad Pro lol
The one thing I don't like about the 16" is actually funny enough the trackpad. Because of the large size I notice the palms of my hands are on the trackpad when I'm writing I wish they would make a 15" just to get the weight and size a bit down. But as usual for me what I really would want is never an option 😂. So the best compromise has to be the 14"
😮 I bought both the 14” and 16” and was going to return the 16” but I am thinking the same based on the big screen but I had the opposite with my hands and the 14” is so much easier to type on. So trying to figure out which to keep
Finally broke down and got one with Best Buys deal right now and also opted for the extra tb for $200. I know external can be had for half that but it is nice upfront to have the wiggle room. I edit in 1080 and convert so im not worried about 32gb or Max. My OG m1 mini does fine in braw 6k converted. Also, bought this bad boy with credit card points,.
I finally decided to order one. Space grey 16 (top spec pro chip) whatever it’s called. 2tb 32 gb. After 21 years of life I’m going to get a new in box apple laptop 😅
I saw a couple like and wanted to correct. After the long ship time I went with a local 14 16/1tb with the full spec pro chip. I adore it and the unboxing was fantastic. Thanks for the love
Ugh I can’t wait to get my 16” MBP. I’m just waiting for one to come in stock lol (wanna do that 0% Apple Card financing). Also I gotta say… a very good lookin guy + with good style + tech? I’m so glad I found your channel recently. :)

The benefits of editing video on the internal SSD is unnoticeable over external SSDs, which is easily 10 to 50 times the playback speed of most 4K video. The bottleneck is processing power and RAM.
NO! Be aware, if you talk about fast (in long term when writing 50GB+ continous) SSDs and a TB3/4 SSD enclosure, YES! But i have also 2 slower USB 3.1 enclosures (m.2!) which throttle intentional to avoid overheating, they throttle to 60MB/s down after 30-40GB written (with 700-800MB/s)
Also, what are you talking about? the processed prores 4-2-2 (HQ) data in the background are VERY space demanding, a 1GB video clip from my EOS R7 become within just a little color grading a 5-15GB project file!, so you have to write easily 5x and more data on the external SSD than your original videos size! As said... my cheaper m.2 enclosures and SSDs are pretty unusable above about 50GB (project size)... so at best a 5-10GB video is fast enough imported/ready for fast editing/export. Considering modern 4k60 files etc easily eats up 5-10 GB in minutes, well not every mediocre fast SSD or enclousure is fast enough. But you are right when you exclude a lot of cheaper SSDs and enclosures and see only TB3/4, especially the Sabrent drives/enclosures existence which are AWESOME (M1 Pro base model 512 GB "only" + 2TB sabrent drive is an amazing combo for sharing much data with other computers without paying too much apple premium)
Most 4K - 8K vidéos are 100 - 720 mbps, which max out at 90 MB/s. When editing there’s no speed/time difference whether the original files are on external disks or internal. Current SSD r/w at 550-2000 MB/s. CPU/GPU is the bottle neck. H.265 would save a lot of space. Newer SSD like Sandisk pro blade offers r/w 3000 MB/s with 16TB storage. Even editing 12 K footage whose data bit rate could be 1800 mbps or so, which is about 250 MB/s. The external SSDs are mostly an overkill. Importing to internal ssd is only a waste of time.
Let’s say you have a 50 second footage whose file size is 50 GB. And your internal SSD r/w 5000 MB/s, external SSD r/w 1000 MB/s. If SSD r/w speed matters, the rendering /export of the said footage should be about 1 second internally or 5 seconds externally. But if you try rendering off an internal SSD, it would take as much time as off an external SSD. The simplified conclusion is that when we could render a footage at 30X speed, that’s when we gain benefits processing footage on an internal SSD.
@@joyKafka again: MANY (!!!) SSDs and enclosures throttle the speed dramatically as one of my SSDs which throttle down to 60MB/s (basically 2x as fast as USB 2.0!) At this speed you notice a heavy performance drop (60MB/s vs 2000+…)
I get it, we really are nitpicking, there are people with bigger problems in the world, but when you spend so much money on a computer, over 5,000 in some models, you need it to be perfect, and spending that much money can make you regret and worry if you got the right model.
Im mostly at home, and dont travel a lot. And will often be connected to a monitor. BUT i want to move around in my apartment as well. On the couch for example. And when i am other places than my home. I still want to be able to make music and video edit. And im scared that the 14" maybe just will feel to little to do that. The 14" inch is the nicest laptop. But the screen size and the performance and benefits of the 16 inch.. yea. So this is what im struggling with deciding😩

Great video and probably just the one that could help me decide! I bought both, the 14 and 16 ( base model of each ) and cannot decide which to keep. I have noticed that the 16" runs a tad bit warmer ( mid 40s C vs low 40s on the 14" ) and wondering if that is indeed normal. Been watching a lot of videos and reading on MR ( MacRumors ) and the general consensus appears to favor the 16" over the 14", especially in terms of operating temps!
@@Ku6epIIe4eHe7Kept the 16". The larger screen, longer battery per charge, and better speakers had me opt for it. No regrets at all! That said, the current sale ( Costco, Best Buy etc ) on the 14" ($1599) is a steal of a buy!!
@@M5_Sonu picked up the base 16" for 2100 on best buy, amazing deal. Also the thermals are slightly hotter on the 16" in the start because fans don't ramp up on the 16" as early as the 14", but at peak performance 16" runs a lot cooler. Max tech has a bunch of videos on these.
How come you went with the m1 pro ? Is that enough for you in terms of productivity ? If you decide to upgrade your m1 Pro to 32 gb ram and 1 TB then you will almost spend just as much as you would spend on m1 max
Hi bro, Working with the silver one outside, with the son, do you notice some type of lack of focus because of the britghness of the chasis, because sun reflects more in the silver one? What about that? I like both??
Hey! I haven’t really noticed anything like that. In very bright conditions it can be more difficult to see the screen like anything, but the Liquid Retina is brighter than my old laptop and definitely makes it easier.
I am curious how much your main PC cost so we can compare your PC monster to a similar spec 16 inch M1. I suspect that a 16 inch m1 max plus a Studio display is cheaper that two full systems.
Great video. Sums up why I will buy the 16-inch. I got curious: Do the resting palm/s on the big trackpad not accidentally trigger anything, when one is typing? 😊 (EDIT: I have a 2014 15-inch MBP. It has a much smaller trackpad and neither of my palm is on it when I type. ☺)

I mean you can literally walk into a Best Buy or Apple store and snag a base model. You just have to keep checking their stock. Any custom orders are going to be delayed regardless of a TH-camr buying & returning.
You can do this coz you are lucky you have this return option from Apple in your country. Thay is why you can do these experiments. You can waste as many units as you can, in the name of impulse buy mistake, size issue etc..

A month ago I commented about how you saved me. I always wondered if I made the wrong choice doing the 16. The M2 came out and I got a 14” yesterday on release and I fucked up…😂 It’s going back and I’m going back to the 16” god damnit. I can deal with all the “worse” things on the 14 but no matter what the flow just isn’t there for the screen. It’s worth using a bigger heavier machine no matter the case unless you travel via plane a lot. No way around it just being straight up the best. I hate the weight, the size, and feel, the shape but my god it’s the best damn laptop on the market hands down and the king of the jungle. Honestly docked at my desk being used as an additional display the 14” can’t compete, on the table, on my lap on the couch, anywhere that I am the 16 is just so much better performing where it matters. I was using my 14” all day then watched a Netflix movie on my 16” and it kinda just solidified my thought. Though again the 16” is annoyingly large once you start using it you just can’t go back.. you just can’t. I will forget my love of the 14” size and feel and succumb to the 16” death and enjoy it everytime I remember how poor the screen real estate is on the 14 for workflow.
I did it again 😂 14” silver to 16” silver to 16” space grey to 14” silver to 16” space grey and kept it. Literally felt like I was having a god damn brain stroke. Idk what it is about this but I keep finding others on social media just like me so it’s a real thing and holy hell it’s terrible 😂 I’m glad it’s over
Will 16 RAM be enough for 4-5 years for normal usage without video editing or rendering at all? Also , my friend is using Macbook Pro 14 Base Model and when he opens 5-6 tabs or 7 in safari and nothing running in the background RAM usage is between 10-12.30 GB. Do you think it is normal or Macbook works like this .
For someone who have dozens of chrome tabs open, watching twitch streams, video editing, and maybe 1-2 more resource intensive app all open simultaneously, do you think 16gb would work or better to go for 32?
Love your videos!!! I have the option of getting a 14" , 1TB, 10CPU, 16GPU, 32 unified, 16 neural engine (10/16/32/16) new in box and sealed, or a base 16", 512GB, 10/16/16/16 from the actual Apple store for roughly the same price. I am a bit confused about the throttle, thermos, and battery life implications. I want good battery, and I do love a smoother photo/video editing workflow, but I am not a professional (i.e., it's not my main income). I am not sure if I go with the 14" from a private seller, or the Apple store. What would you do?
Great video. There are four reasons why I greatly prefer the 16” over the 14”: larger screen, larger trackpad, longer battery life, better speakers.

The specs aren’t identical. The base 16” is faster than the base 14”. If you want the 14” with the same spec as the base 16” you need to upgrade it for $300 more dollars and at that point why not spend the extra $200 left to get the 16”.
Great decision. As a student and no video editing work flow, I decide to pick base model that with 512 gb is enough for me. And since portability is not an issue, then why not bigger screen real estate~
Sounds like a solid choice for your needs!
This video summed up exactly how I felt about the 14 vs 16. I went with the 16 because I wanted the laptop to actually be a laptop and it is a side to my main windows desktop. But I want the ability to edit on the laptop or just use it on the couch or just not be forced to sit at the desk. I can use my laptop laying down. But I can’t lay down and use my desktop lol. I was going to order the 512 gig and do the same thing as you with a 2tb nvme USB C external enclosure. But then I changed my mind and actually got the one terabyte because if I install a bunch of applications I know I will have at least 300 gigs free on the internal. Then if I record a lot on a weekend trip. I can just use that internal drive to hold 300 gigs of projects it’s enough.
I want to get a MacBook Pro w/ M1 MAX 10/32 core chipset, 32Gb RAM, and 1Tb SSD.
Plan on doing photography editing, videography editing when I get a motorcycle, and school work as well as my ground school lessons to get my pilots license.
I am only 16, so getting a $3,099 + tax laptop is a BIG decision..
My question is, if I edit videos that may be around 100Gb on average, then once my memory fills up, can I delete those video edits and just restart with let’s say a new months of work?
@@swiift2k538 A fortnite kiddie with 16 years young, literally fresh from the soup is getting a M1 Max, ouch.
Oh wait, if anything of that "pilots license" thing is real your parents are anyways rich af get a maxxed out M2 Max
Maybe for content creators or software developers, the 16-inch is a better fit. I think for anyone else 14-inch is the perfect laptop. It's so portable and yet powerful.
I’m far from a professional, but the 16” big screen is AMAZING and the speakers?!?!?!?! The m1 air -> m2 pro 16” has been a great upgrade🙏
@@glitch5174 I had the 16 it was a great big screen experience, it’s just too heavy to carry around. 14 with a monitor serves me very well
@@extremelucky1 yeah I can definitely see that.. my biggest compromise was the size when it comes to portability.. apple hasn’t sent my trade in kit and I’m still contemplating if keeping the air is worth the giving back the $440 credit they gave me.. but since I have the 12.9 iPad Pro it’s not like I don’t have a portable solution
Here I am after just ordering the 14 inch m2 max debating did I make the right choice thinking of that bigger screen
Im looking to get a 16 inch myself, my main reason for it is the thermals and the fact the base model has 2 more CPU / GPU cores.
Yes absolutely this video helped me to go on with my decision of getting d M1 Pro 16”
Thanx
Has your opinion changed at all, especially with the M3 chips that fix a lot of the problems with the 14"?
Your video was good and honest. Thanks. I brought the M1 Pr 16 16 w/ 1TB
Wow-
The first few comments you received on this video were rough…
Your experience with these machines is valuable to me.
Great video. I have had the 15 in for 10 years and have tried the 14in Pro. It feels really tiny and a long way away from my hands; the screen is noticeably smaller. I can see it being good for travelers, but I'm looking forward to trying the 16in.
So, size does matter after all...
Alas! It does…
You are a good story teller Jordan. Keep up the good work. Love from India ✌🏼
Right video at the right moment. Thanks man.
Ive always gotten the 13 inch because I am a computer Science major. I wanted something portable. But recently when the new pros came out I got the 14 and then a couple days later decided to get the 16 also. At first the 16 was very big but I got use to it. Now I am having issues deciding. I like both computers for different reasons... ugh
what did you decide on and why?
Battery life & screen real estate are the main reasons i got the 16" version (also a cs student)
woah bro where you took that pfp. that's a sick mountain view
im going to start my Computer Science bachelor after the summer and am trying to decide wether to get the 14" or the 16" model. For programming the 16" might be better because of the bigger screen size, so you can see more lines of code, I also like the bigger battery on the 16". The 14" is just easier to carry around. Still trying to make a decision....
@@zakaria1656 TLDR; If you will be working mostly with bigger screens, get the 14" for mobility. Otherwise get the bigger screen.
I know I have commented on something else here but I am a programmer for about 12 years with various experience in working on different laptop sizes. I'd say if you will only be working on the laptop, exclusively, then get the 16" model since it is more real estate and less "alt + tab" all the time which is really can get annoying for the work flow. you can see more lines of code if you of course choose a smaller font but for the long run its not so comfortable. I work with a 14" thinkpad and I only chose this one because at work I have two 24" monitors this laptop is connected to at the office.
When I am at home and without any extrnal screens its okay to work on this one for the day, but if it was like this for the entirety of college it would get me crazy. Good luck bud
That's a great decision! You chose the one that would be more beneficial with your lifestyle and line of work. This video will definitely help people who are struggling to decide which one to pick! 😅
Thank you so much! I appreciate you checking out the video 😁
I just ordered a 16" max with 64gb ram and 32 gpu with 2 tb storage. My situation is different. It's replacing my 27" iMac and will be my main machine for video/photo editing and will live on my office desk connected to a monitor most of the time. Probably still overkill but I keep my computers for 7-8yrs and I feel it will be future proof for me. Also I shoot with a Canon r5 and have never touched 8k that it's capable but maybe in years to come that will be a thing so...
Love it!, Looking to get rid of my Macbook pro 13 inch 2018 and my PC for the 16inch Pro and have it as my only machine... decisions decisions!
That’s the move, I think you’ll be incredibly happy with the performance!
Just canceled my order because/thanks to you... i am huge trackpad fan, it's a big part of my workflow as a music producer, i have even bought the magic trackpad to get the same feeling...
Hi! What is that great white, black , and red wallpaper?
Thanks for sharing and thanks for feeding Apple Outlet of returned laptops ... :)
Bro can you please review the chair your sitting on! Please let us know what kinda mesh chair you’re on.
I agree. Bought 16” last year, I travel a lot and work remote. My work flow at work needs 4 different chrome tabs open which means the change from 14 to 16 was a game changer. Also during the summer I travel a lot and also work and the 500 nit to 1000 mit difference made a lot of difference when working at the beach. Sometimes it does get annoying the lack of portability but there’s always a inverse relation between portability vs productivity. I think the best set up for me is just the mac with a case not cover or pouch, and no mouse or track pad
Glad to hear you are liking the 16! 2 years later and I’m still happy with my decision. I’m currently flying 4 times a week and it’s been great having the larger size to work on flights
Thanks for the video, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you found it helpful.
Great video. You got the big boy! Love your channel
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad I went back to it 🙌
@@JordanPulmano it is great when you are in the go to have more screen real estate if you can’t connect to a dedicated monitor. I’m still mad I got the smaller iPad Pro lol
The one thing I don't like about the 16" is actually funny enough the trackpad. Because of the large size I notice the palms of my hands are on the trackpad when I'm writing I wish they would make a 15" just to get the weight and size a bit down. But as usual for me what I really would want is never an option 😂. So the best compromise has to be the 14"
Compromise? You mean a down grade
Apple should add a 15" option. I feel the 14" is too small and the 16" is too bulky. I'd gladly take a 15". Especially if it has 140W mode ....
😮 I bought both the 14” and 16” and was going to return the 16” but I am thinking the same based on the big screen but I had the opposite with my hands and the 14” is so much easier to type on. So trying to figure out which to keep
Finally broke down and got one with Best Buys deal right now and also opted for the extra tb for $200. I know external can be had for half that but it is nice upfront to have the wiggle room. I edit in 1080 and convert so im not worried about 32gb or Max. My OG m1 mini does fine in braw 6k converted. Also, bought this bad boy with credit card points,.
Lets go!! You can get these for such a great price right now. I’m about to make a 1 year review but I still love it
@@JordanPulmano My 2015 mbp refuses to die but it was time😂. I was almost tempted by Da Vinci on ipad but we all know better. Take care, subscribed👍

Thanks for this.
Do you use both screens at once ?

I finally decided to order one. Space grey 16 (top spec pro chip) whatever it’s called. 2tb 32 gb. After 21 years of life I’m going to get a new in box apple laptop 😅
Aye congrats man! That’s super exciting. You’re going to absolutely love working on it

The benefits of editing video on the internal SSD is unnoticeable over external SSDs, which is easily 10 to 50 times the playback speed of most 4K video. The bottleneck is processing power and RAM.
NO!
Be aware, if you talk about fast (in long term when writing 50GB+ continous) SSDs and a TB3/4 SSD enclosure, YES!
But i have also 2 slower USB 3.1 enclosures (m.2!) which throttle intentional to avoid overheating, they throttle to 60MB/s down after 30-40GB written (with 700-800MB/s)
Also, what are you talking about? the processed prores 4-2-2 (HQ) data in the background are VERY space demanding, a 1GB video clip from my EOS R7 become within just a little color grading a 5-15GB project file!, so you have to write easily 5x and more data on the external SSD than your original videos size!
As said... my cheaper m.2 enclosures and SSDs are pretty unusable above about 50GB (project size)... so at best a 5-10GB video is fast enough imported/ready for fast editing/export. Considering modern 4k60 files etc easily eats up 5-10 GB in minutes, well not every mediocre fast SSD or enclousure is fast enough.
But you are right when you exclude a lot of cheaper SSDs and enclosures and see only TB3/4, especially the Sabrent drives/enclosures existence which are AWESOME (M1 Pro base model 512 GB "only" + 2TB sabrent drive is an amazing combo for sharing much data with other computers without paying too much apple premium)
Most 4K - 8K vidéos are 100 - 720 mbps, which max out at 90 MB/s. When editing there’s no speed/time difference whether the original files are on external disks or internal. Current SSD r/w at 550-2000 MB/s. CPU/GPU is the bottle neck. H.265 would save a lot of space.
Newer SSD like Sandisk pro blade offers r/w 3000 MB/s with 16TB storage. Even editing 12 K footage whose data bit rate could be 1800 mbps or so, which is about 250 MB/s. The external SSDs are mostly an overkill.
Importing to internal ssd is only a waste of time.
Let’s say you have a 50 second footage whose file size is 50 GB. And your internal SSD r/w 5000 MB/s, external SSD r/w 1000 MB/s. If SSD r/w speed matters, the rendering /export of the said footage should be about 1 second internally or 5 seconds externally. But if you try rendering off an internal SSD, it would take as much time as off an external SSD. The simplified conclusion is that when we could render a footage at 30X speed, that’s when we gain benefits processing footage on an internal SSD.
@@joyKafka again: MANY (!!!) SSDs and enclosures throttle the speed dramatically as one of my SSDs which throttle down to 60MB/s (basically 2x as fast as USB 2.0!)
At this speed you notice a heavy performance drop (60MB/s vs 2000+…)
Where can I get that wallpaper for my 16”?
cool wallpaper ? where can we find it ?
I get it, we really are nitpicking, there are people with bigger problems in the world, but when you spend so much money on a computer, over 5,000 in some models, you need it to be perfect, and spending that much money can make you regret and worry if you got the right model.
Im mostly at home, and dont travel a lot. And will often be connected to a monitor. BUT i want to move around in my apartment as well. On the couch for example. And when i am other places than my home. I still want to be able to make music and video edit. And im scared that the 14" maybe just will feel to little to do that. The 14" inch is the nicest laptop. But the screen size and the performance and benefits of the 16 inch.. yea. So this is what im struggling with deciding😩
Same!! What did you end up getting?
Helped a lot to make my own decision. Thanks :)
I went with the 14" because I already have a desktop computer and only need something for portability, and 14" is big enough.
Great call! How have you been liking the 14? I will say it is the perfect size for portability.
@@JordanPulmano I do like the 14, I don't find that I need a bigger display for video/photo, but I use my desktops 32" for gaming.

Hey Jordan, what brand is your desk chair?
I use gaming laptop 15.6 inch now going back to evo models which r tiny is impossible they r tiny they maybe light weight but won't be as good as gaming ones
Great video and probably just the one that could help me decide! I bought both, the 14 and 16 ( base model of each ) and cannot decide which to keep. I have noticed that the 16" runs a tad bit warmer ( mid 40s C vs low 40s on the 14" ) and wondering if that is indeed normal. Been watching a lot of videos and reading on MR ( MacRumors ) and the general consensus appears to favor the 16" over the 14", especially in terms of operating temps!
Which one did you keep?
@@Ku6epIIe4eHe7Kept the 16". The larger screen, longer battery per charge, and better speakers had me opt for it. No regrets at all! That said, the current sale ( Costco, Best Buy etc ) on the 14" ($1599) is a steal of a buy!!
@@M5_Sonu picked up the base 16" for 2100 on best buy, amazing deal. Also the thermals are slightly hotter on the 16" in the start because fans don't ramp up on the 16" as early as the 14", but at peak performance 16" runs a lot cooler. Max tech has a bunch of videos on these.
@@Googlieguy Congrats! I kept the 16" as well! It's an amazing laptop and will serve you well for years! Enjoy!!
How come you went with the m1 pro ?
Is that enough for you in terms of productivity ?
If you decide to upgrade your m1 Pro to 32 gb ram and 1 TB then you will almost spend just as much as you would spend on m1 max
Hi bro, Working with the silver one outside, with the son, do you notice some type of lack of focus because of the britghness of the chasis, because sun reflects more in the silver one? What about that? I like both??
Hey! I haven’t really noticed anything like that. In very bright conditions it can be more difficult to see the screen like anything, but the Liquid Retina is brighter than my old laptop and definitely makes it easier.
There's a app that increases the brightness of your MBP. (It's legit)
I am curious how much your main PC cost so we can compare your PC monster to a similar spec 16 inch M1. I suspect that a 16 inch m1 max plus a Studio display is cheaper that two full systems.
Awesome video @jordanPulmano you think this year there will be a new 16inch model launch?
I love that Wall paper where can I get it?
Great video. Sums up why I will buy the 16-inch. I got curious: Do the resting palm/s on the big trackpad not accidentally trigger anything, when one is typing? 😊 (EDIT: I have a 2014 15-inch MBP. It has a much smaller trackpad and neither of my palm is on it when I type. ☺)
There's a palm rejection feature so if your hand unconsciously touch it, it won't register.
I personally haven’t had any issues!

How did you return the 14" after unboxing and using it? Does the store take it back in that condition? Does it have a penalty?
Best Buy has a great return policy! Some products have a restocking fee of 10-15% but I don’t think there was one for this return.

All these TH-camr are buying and returning all these MacBooks yet I’m waiting months for 1 and it just got delayed for another month smh
I mean you can literally walk into a Best Buy or Apple store and snag a base model. You just have to keep checking their stock.
Any custom orders are going to be delayed regardless of a TH-camr buying & returning.
what wallpaper ur using its very nice
Wait, you returned it after using it hard for 3 whole weeks?
"using it hard" is a bit of an overstatement lol
You can do this coz you are lucky you have this return option from Apple in your country. Thay is why you can do these experiments. You can waste as many units as you can, in the name of impulse buy mistake, size issue etc..
And I’ve received a ton of messages from people who found this video helpful for their decision making. So I’d say it was worth it.
what a positive response to a subtly negative comment! i'm impressed!
i bought 14 inch few months ago, and tbh i wish i went for 16 i dont know what to do now
did you swap it? I‘m in the same situation, but the value loss is to much to sell it and buy the 16

A month ago I commented about how you saved me. I always wondered if I made the wrong choice doing the 16. The M2 came out and I got a 14” yesterday on release and I fucked up…😂
It’s going back and I’m going back to the 16” god damnit. I can deal with all the “worse” things on the 14 but no matter what the flow just isn’t there for the screen. It’s worth using a bigger heavier machine no matter the case unless you travel via plane a lot. No way around it just being straight up the best. I hate the weight, the size, and feel, the shape but my god it’s the best damn laptop on the market hands down and the king of the jungle. Honestly docked at my desk being used as an additional display the 14” can’t compete, on the table, on my lap on the couch, anywhere that I am the 16 is just so much better performing where it matters.
I was using my 14” all day then watched a Netflix movie on my 16” and it kinda just solidified my thought. Though again the 16” is annoyingly large once you start using it you just can’t go back.. you just can’t.
I will forget my love of the 14” size and feel and succumb to the 16” death and enjoy it everytime I remember how poor the screen real estate is on the 14 for workflow.
Ah man! A few months from now you will be so used to the 16 that it won’t even phase you
I did it again 😂 14” silver to 16” silver to 16” space grey to 14” silver to 16” space grey and kept it. Literally felt like I was having a god damn brain stroke.

Will 16 RAM be enough for 4-5 years for normal usage without video editing or rendering at all?
