I think your advice here is spot on. It can't be said enough that the base models of even 2-3 year old Macs are still more than powerful enough for 90% of users out there. Love your thoughts on connectivity too. I think the need for the MagSafe really depends on your use case. My MacBook is docked at my desk 95% of the time where it's connected to a USB-C hub, so I rarely use my MagSafe charger. For someone who regularly takes their MacBook on the go, I could see the MagSafe being super useful...except that they have such great battery life too! 😄
Same, I thought I’d like mag safe and if the battery didn’t last as long I’d probably use it more but the battery still lasts forever so I just use usb c overnight
Personally, I prefer Magsafe due to the magnets and the way it doesn't just mean someone can accidentally drag your laptop. On top of that it won't damage the port, unlike the USB-C version when someone might just have something that's slightly too straining.
Got one MacBook Pro M1 13 inch with 16Gb of RAM and 256Gb SSD in very good condition for 690 EUR, and I am still thinking if it’s a good deal or not 😅, never used macs before, I got a bunch of Thinkpads from T series to P series, I want to use it with my iPad 12.9 M1 and if everything goes ok, I will start thinking about the 14 or 16 MacBook Pros.
Yeah that’s a pretty good deal! Now it’s tough to beat the keyboard on the thinkpad, that thing is freaking amazing for typing! But overall I think my favorite computer of all time is the 14 inch MacBook Pro, so I hope you like the m1!
This is some amazing production for someone with only 1 thousand subscribers. I would rather have watched this video than MKBHD!. Keep up the good work man.
I bought an M1 Pro MacBook Pro in Spring of 2022 and have used it ever since every day. It is a powerhouse for everything I need. I have never had a single hardware or software issue with it. I can easily get through a day to day and a half with the battery with out charging. I love the MagSafe charger. I bought it refurbished too to save some money and it’s one of my favorite purchases. I use my MB more than my iPhone.
What makes you think that adding the MagSafe port somehow reduces the number of USB-C ports like theyl they could have? Do you think there’s not enough space on the side of the computer? Do you think that the chips it won’t allow an extra USPC port because somehow it charging via some propriety Paul?
Same... M1 Max and for everything except for video editing it's great. Apple Silicon sucks balls for things like magic mask or crazy intensive effects. The lack of a dedicated GPU on apple silicon is it's achilles heel sadly. They have done a pretty good job "hiding" it with the on chip video encoders, so rendering and basic cutting is lightning fast. But it's a huge trade off with how slowly it crawls at doing magic mask or mrotoAI. I'm talking an hour and half to track a mask on a 7 min clip
my mom's macbook pro 2015 is almost as snappy as my macbook air m1 when just doing normal browsing youtube, facebook, playing music & searching on google..
So, should I wait for the MacBook Pro M4 to get a better price on the MacBook Pro M1 Pro, or is the current price good and likely to remain stable? Is the MacBook Pro M1 Pro worth buying after the M4 release?
Checking in here with a 13 inch MacBook pro m1 with 8gb ram and 512 gb. Hey it has not slowed down. I run logic pro for church to run our live stream with 32 tracks and numerous Plugins. Then I am also doing basic video editing. Looking to upgrade to m1 pro
Nice! So you use logic pro for tracks? We have used ableton in the past but just found loop communities prime app to be somuch easier, just offers less control but im ok with that
Yeah man, most people can’t tell the difference between ddr3 and ddr5, I build pcs as well and always have blisteringly fast ram, my wife uses that computer sometimes and has never noticed a difference between that and an M1 Mac
M1 Macbook pro for $500! In the UK, they are still around $1000 used. I just picked up a used 16 inch M1 Pro with 16GB and 1TB for £900, which I think is still a good price. It is good enough for AI engineering (with cloud use for heavy lifting)
I use iPads for everything but I keep my 2019 MacBook Pro just in case I run into something iPads can’t handle which has happened a couple of times, not because the iPads are not powerful enough but because iPad OS limits
If I were to buy an 2020 M1 Mac Book Air how many more years would I get out of it. Thats the question nobody is really answering. Ive never owned Apple before and would like to start off small.
@@JonAdamsTech thanks for taking the time to reply mate. Do you think that going for an M1 Pro 16 in 2024 over an M3 Pro (considering that the major factor is that it is a 3nm chip architecture) would be still okay? I am currently having an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 from 2020 with Ryzen 5 4000 series 4600 HS CPU and an Nvidia GTX 1650 ti GPU, 16 gigs of memory and 1 TB storage. so which one do you think is wise to go with for a person like me?
@@JonAdamsTech Shit, I forgot to include that, I am a Graphic Designer and a Photographer from India who works on multiple layers in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom Classic, Figma and Canva, also I am planning to start learning video editing using Adobe's Premier Pro or Davinci Resolve and motion graphics using Adobe After Effects. I usually have multiple apps running and this is how it might look on average: 1. Photoshop 2. Illustrator 3. Figma (along with Photoshop on rare scenarios) 4. Lightroom Classic (sometimes along with Photoshop) 3. A browser (2 different ones like Brave and Firefox sometimes), 4. Apple Music, 5. Windows file explorer (4 to 5 tabs), 6. A communication app (like Slack or Teams) and 7. Notion. So now can you tell me whether a person like me can get away with a decently specced Macbook Air (like a 15-inch model with 24 gigs of memory and 1 TB of storage) or a fairly specced MBP 16 (like the base model with 18 gigs or 36 gigs of memory and 1 TB of storage)
You have the keyboard history a bit wrong there. Old old macs used to have scissor switch keyboards. Sometime after the unibody stuff and race to get thin started they switched to butterfly and stubbornly stuck with it for WAY too long, they were awful with the stuck keys. They simply switched back to the OLD scissor switch keyboard, there's nothing "New" here about it. You give apple too much credit. Same for the HDMI and SD slot.... they used to have those on macs ages ago, they just gave them back.

What do you think, MagSafe or USB-C port?
USB-C. Don’t need a single use cable when one does my laptop, phone, headphones, camera, erc
@@paigelaw5799 Heck ya!
MagSafe. Better one single use port that keeps my dog from ripping the laptop off the table than an extra USB-C port on my broken $2,400 laptop.
MagSafe. I love it. Why? In case the cord or the plug gets yanked on or something happens. No damage.

For sure! Thanks for commenting on this Chris, it’s a flop of a video so far but every bit of engagement helps haha!
i Never carry the mag safe charger, just a 120W aftermarket charger with 2 usbc ports so i can charge multiple devices at the same time

Hey I appreciate it! This channel is nothing without the community so if you’re taking the time to comment, I’ll take the time to reply!
Hey!! Do you think an M1 (512GB, 16GB RAM, 8 core) is worth buying today at 1000usd (Europe). Thanks!
Yeah that is still a very capable machine!
Just picked up a 2020 M1 MBP 13 inch for $350! It’s a beast of a computer.

I have an early 15, 13” MBP, i5 and it works great. I actually like the keyboard better than my 16” M1Pro MBP.
So, should I wait for the MacBook Pro M4 to get a better price on the MacBook Pro M1 Pro, or is the current price good and likely to remain stable? Is the MacBook Pro M1 Pro worth buying after the M4 release?
Ehh you could wait and see what happens
So Should I buy it these days or wait until the MacBook M4 is released
And thank you so much
@@MoEdits-n1 I’d wait if you’ve already waited this long
I am worried that after the M4 release, the M2 Pro will be the same price as the M1 Pro. If I purchase it now(m1 pro ), is it a wise decision?

I prefer to have the Mag safe... I am old school and I carry everything
Nice!
Yep one more usb port. More flexible. Better yet make all 4 usb port magsafe style.
Dang that would be interesting

@@JonAdamsTech The 12.9 M1 and the iPad Mini 6. That Mini iPad is a particular favorite of mine, I take it with me whenever possible
I've never used my magsafe charger with my m1 max lol I charge via USBC just easier to carry one less cord.
Haha yep, I swore I would have used it a ton but I only every bring usb c these days
I Hate leaving Lt. Dongle at home 😞
#dongledowner
Usbc does need to be everywhere
Everywhere
Magsafe is not a big deal to me....everything I have charges by USB-C. The thing is apple is not going to give you an extra port in place of it.
Truth
I’d buy one but won’t it just get 3 more years of software updates?
That’s the game you have to play. If you can get a good enough price it’s definitely worth it
M1 MacBook Pro $500-$600 where? here in Europe minimum price on ebay $1568
Found some on eBay
I think its a lot of connectivity for me idk 😊
Yeah right, you’ve been trying to gank a keyboard for weeks.
Should i ditch my Intel MacBook for M1?
BTW, i would love to have magsafe, its such a laptop saver!
I definitely think it’s worth it. You may want to go with the m2 though just to give you a few more years. Thanks for watching the video!
Thanks! BTW subbing :)
I appreciate it!
God yes... intel vs M1 is insane. Blows it out of the water
If I were to buy an 2020 M1 Mac Book Air how many more years would I get out of it. Thats the question nobody is really answering. Ive never owned Apple before and would like to start off small.
I believe you have 6 years of support so about two full years left for updates then as long as the computer lasts from then on
Thank you, answer's my question.
can we charge the MacBook Pro 16 with a Type C charger over the Magsafe if I want to?
Yes but you can’t do both at the same time
