I still have my M1 Max macbook pro 16”, it’s still a beast and i don’t have any particular reason to upgrade. I run my architectural stuff amazing, still sounds amazing, still have a massive battery life. It’s awesome .
I'm still on a m1 air and not a complaint in the world. I'd argue that the first gen m series chips are still very competitive in today's market when compared to windows laptops especially at the price you can get them at now.
This is also to be expected, full set of memory controllers on binned dies are either faulty or shut down due to the rest being broken. If you opt in for a lesser chip, you can't get as much system memory either. 406 GB/s is also a step up from the M3 step down to 300 GB/s. M2 Max had 400 GB/s.
@@null_geodesic True, but this info is veeery rarely given in any M4 materials. Check the charts that Dave used - it is all the same stuff, as everywhere else - M4 Max = 546 GB/s. This year it is even more tricky, because the memory options are locked and switching the RAM options causes in many cases also a change of the CPU type.
Nice short review. Two things. 1 the nano texture is a pain to clean without the supplied cloth. 2 is the Max chip in the 14" body still being thermal throtlled and making the fans get annoyingly loud? I am hoping the binned max isnt but waiting for reviews.
It's so cloth doesn't snag the etching and gets between it, you'll have less fingerprints to wipe down though. From my research M3 never throttled, just had hot thermals under extended loads.

@thescentsofme idk what that is, im using vivobook pro 14 Oled 3K 90Hz 10bit for almost 2.5 yrs and never had a bit of a problem. Even though charts on screen all the time. Either apple using cheap displays or their dual OLED tech fckd up
@@ViralEnter10ment nah, pwm is just an issue due to the nature of OLEDs. Iirc, everyone technically sees it, but about 5-10% of the population is actually extra sensitive to it to the point that that they're unable to use OLEDs that have too low of a PWM DC dimming rate. You need that rate to be much higher than the 480 Hz Apple currently is using (the screen is still 120 Hz, but the rate at which the pixels themselves are refreshing is much higher to try to mitigate PWM flicker).
The way the nanotexture changes the overhead light from white to that pinkish-red is a bit worrisome though, since that suggests if it's doing that to reflections then it's also adding that coloured tint to the screen output as well.
Amazing and on point. Would have preferred more insight on the graphics side of stuff. Especially the "gaming" promises. But fair enough. A great review
It'd have been nice to see those workflows in which the M4 Max outperforms the M2 Ultra, because your graphs state otherwise. Other than that, nicely done as usual, Dave!
I currently have a MacBook Air Original M1 with 8gb ram. Would you recommend upgrading to the M4 pro. I do a lot of video and audio engineering and things like that. My thing is starting to slow down a lot.
I wish you had touched on how this screen effects color accuracy? Should I get it for video and photo editing? The obvious answer seems like no, but I want to make sure.
Can you talk more about comparisons between the new M4 and the M2 pro or even M1 max as since they're priced similarly, do you think it's worth it? I think that's more interesting than comparing the more powerful ones, 99% of people won't really need that extra performance bump despite being significative because older models are already plenty powerful, and if they do I suppose they probably don't bother spending more, not the same story for 1500$ devices
@realbosstakea I think you're talking about ram and storage, but still the cpu performance of m3/m4 is obviously better, question is how much better and is it worth it

i was planning on buying an m4 macbook pro, but the m4 mac mini is just too good a value to pass up... gonna go with upgrading my mac mini for this gen and maybe get a new macbook pro in the future when there's a bigger jump in value in upgrading
The M4 Pro vs M3 Pro is a drastic improvement, but the M4 Max vs M3 Max is less so, the battery improvements are 13m and performance is under 20% - it's a good time to pick up a refurb M3 Max I think!
Any advice on me getting a base model M4 16 GB vs base model M4 Pro 24 GB MacBook Pro? It will be my first Macbook and I will primarily use it to edit 1080p and 4k videos using Davinci Resolve for TH-cam that normally run about ten minutes in length.
so the question is... silver or space black? Space grey was the best... but they say the space black gets lots of finger prints so i guess i go for silver?
You can tilt the ipad and avoid the reflection on the screen in 0.02 seconds while using it but you cannot tilt the macbook on the desk that easy ! Nano texture on a laptop is goood
Nano texture glass is good but ridiculously overpriced compared to what it costs apple to make. Same with additional storage, ram, etc. It needs to atleast 50% cheaper. I'd have considered if it was.
It feels increasingly true that the base models of Apple's devices have pretty reasonable prices, but as soon as you start adding anything else the price gets out of control. Charging $200 for an extra 8 GB of RAM or for an extra 256 GB of storage is just crazy.
Etching isn't cheap, $150 is normal and this is a laptop display not sub 10'. Ram/CPU isn't too terrible besides the upgrade path and limited bandwidth on binned Max chips, storage only becomes more insane the cheaper nand prices get $1800-$2200 for the Pro isn't bad, if anything get a used M3 or go with a base mac mini to save more.
Hi Dave, I have MacBook Pro M1 Max and the battery consumption is not great. If I want to balance between performance and battery usage, could M (Pro) version do that ?
Question about the screen finish, if you are wearing polarizing lenses, does it still look okay? Most antireflective stuff isn't really readable with polarized lenses.
@user-jr7bb6g9ev I've ordered M4 base. I do not need any pro performance features since base m4 now supports 2 displays and thunderbolt.

@@SULFURIOUS Pro/Air is just better value but at least you know whats needed. Reviewer said max/? is dual fan and I doubt they added 2 unless you get the 16in/Pro. Crazy thats all I've heard or can find about it a day before launch
@user-jr7bb6g9ev only MBP14 Pro with base M3 had single fan. But since they also changed chassy to X3 thunderbolt they might have as well give 2 fans to the m4. MacBook Air doesn't have any value to me, it's worth like 400 USD at best hardware wise.
@@SULFURIOUS TB4 shouldn't be that bad on M4 and Apple "needs" their upgrade ladder to start with big jumps. The Air has value like a Pro Pro, $800 windows laptop might beat it in specs but loses in what light users care for

Planning to buy it soon
Should i buy a base m4 macbook pro
Or a 16 inch m2 pro
For the same price
Main use will be 4k video editing and studying
Id go for the 16 inch
Buy a macbook pro 14 base and mac mini for 599 lol
I think M2 Pro is enough
if mainly don't use external monitors, 16-inch is a pretty good choice
I finally caved and ordered one to replace my 2020 i5 Air that's been really pissing me off for a while now. My expectations are high.
i was planning on buying an m4 macbook pro, but the m4 mac mini is just too good a value to pass up... gonna go with upgrading my mac mini for this gen and maybe get a new macbook pro in the future when there's a bigger jump in value in upgrading

i love them, they are too small tho i wish it was bigger on my m2
Wallpaper link please. Thanks! Love your videos, always.
Upset apple took away the Pro version with 96GB of ram. I work in LLMs and i wanted the M4 pro with a ton of RAM!
How does Space Black compare to Space Gray in terms of fingerprints?
The M4 Pro vs M3 Pro is a drastic improvement, but the M4 Max vs M3 Max is less so, the battery improvements are 13m and performance is under 20% - it's a good time to pick up a refurb M3 Max I think!
these have been the best laptops ever made. my m1 is still phenomenal
Please do a performance comparison with intel ultra 200v
For most people even the M1 is a great deal. Those laptops are so good not gonna lie.
The Wallpaper, is it macbook pro m4 or?
I have the Nano 13" iPad Pro and I'll never go back to glossy. Any chance of an M4 Ultra MBP?

Should i upgrade my M3 Max MBP?
Base M4 Pro or a higher spec M3 Macbook Air?
The fan itself is a determination
Would a m1,2,3 case/shell fit the m4?

so the question is... silver or space black? Space grey was the best... but they say the space black gets lots of finger prints so i guess i go for silver?
Thanks Dave. Not getting as I have M3 max mbp and no OLED screens like iPad m4 pros.
Just M4 Max? How does the Pro compares to other gen devices, what about the base non Pro M4?
Very nice New Screen
which windows laptop is the most similar to the macbook air m2 in terms of price, performance, battery life and screen?
Air has better build quality, ease of use, and battery than most windows laptops. Only shortcoming is $400 power and pretty bad screen.
I’ll never understand why they killed space gray 🤷🏻♂️, I kinda wanna hold on to my M1pro till they bring it back haha

Yes Pro is good for that, although I'd look into why your battery is not great so you're addressing the issue effectively
Is it worth to upgrade from m1 pro 16gb ram or I better to wait one more year for m5 MacBook?
If you can't name a demanding use for your macbook there isn't a reason to upgrade until it becomes annoying slow or lacks important features

@@SULFURIOUS Pro/Air is just better value but at least you know whats needed.
Reviewer said max/? is dual fan and I doubt they added 2 unless you get the 16in/Pro.
Crazy thats all I've heard or can find about it a day before launch
@user-jr7bb6g9ev only MBP14 Pro with base M3 had single fan. But since they also changed chassy to X3 thunderbolt they might have as well give 2 fans to the m4.
MacBook Air doesn't have any value to me, it's worth like 400 USD at best hardware wise.
@@SULFURIOUS TB4 shouldn't be that bad on M4 and Apple "needs" their upgrade ladder to start with big jumps.
The Air has value like a Pro Pro, $800 windows laptop might beat it in specs but loses in what light users care for
How about a matte screen overlay for $30 vs 150 for a ‘nano’ ? I’d like to see that comparison on any model, if you have an appendix section
A protector will look far worse at the cost of some reflection handling. Overlay is for bigger not mobile panels.
Thanks - opportunity to make a thinner, well performing protect-lay
@@daustonian9331 I mean they probably would've if it was possible, but with how thin mobile screen tech is now I don't think its viable over etched glass.
thanks
Does the 14” with the Max chip throttle compared to the 16” under heavy sustained workflows?
From my research on M3 no, should be the same on M4. 16" will handle thermals a lot better though but thats just physics for such a chonker.
Dave is COOKING today
I think this will be a nice upgrade from my i5 2016
