You should add an option for game devs. I'd recommend the new 13 inch 1.4ghz one with 16GB of RAM if you want portability and still be able to do what you need to do. If portability isn't a problem the best bang for your buck would probably be the 16 inch base model.
FanTastic Spec Walkthrough Dude! Will definetly save this in my TH-cam bookmarks for the 16 Inch model! - Just what the doctor ordered, or shall order! Haha.. 👍
All I wanted was Face iD :(
Love all the side by side comparison details which paints a clear picture in my mind then just thrown specs gibberish that gets confusing!
I’m from Montreal 🇨🇦 so can you also add affiliate links to Amazon.ca or BestBuy.ca
Thanks 😊
Hey I need a little help guys..
I'm thinking of buying an iPad for mostly Gaming . I have 3 in mind. Can u guys decide which will be the best because I don't want to be outdated quickly also.
1. iPad pro 10.5"(2017) ,wife plus 4g FOR $440. (REFURBISHED)
2.iPad air 3,10.5"(2019),Wi-Fi plus 4g FOR $580.
3.iPad mini 5,7.9"(2019),Wi-Fi plus 4g FOR($509)
I want an iPad which gets updates and is reliable for at least 5 years.
Pls help
these types of vids are more worth watching than those unboxing and first impression ones.
They truly truly are!
Exactly
@Oksana B yeahh!✨
This video has practical tips based on your profession/workload
@Apple Squilly You should get out more. Except you probably can't right now...
Why am I watching this I can’t even afford multigrain bread.
bennotvictor is it bad that your comment made my day?
lol
Cause you want to buy an apple to be ripped off.
bennotvictor so do I
😂😂😂😂😂
No matter what type of videos other channels make on MacBooks, but when it comes to what should the consumer take care while actually purchasing it, your videos are the unique and most reliable out there. Real buyers need more videos like these.
I was waiting for this video and never dreamed in a million years you would come out with it. The only useful video on the 16inch right now on youtube!
Gabe truly. Thanks for doing what you do Max
@@cbrsti Seems like the 3,199 is the sweet spot. 100$ more for 500 ssd and slightly better graphics. I wish I could just get the i7 over the i9 but I feel like I am missing out not getting the i9. And for sure I will get the 32gb ram no matter what.
You're welcome guys! Everyone loved the last buyer's guide so I figured we should do another.
@@MaxTechOfficial the big argument is over the 3,099 vs the 3,199. You get better graphics and 1tb ssd for only 100 bucks more. Assuming you got the 32 gb ram.
@@MaxTechOfficial Your next video has to be if the i9 is worth it now compared to the i7. That is the BIG question now.
Great points here but I think in regards to #3, it’s an unfair comparison without mentioning why you’d might consider a 13” in the first place. Anyone eyeing a maxed out model should know they’re not getting the best of the best across the lineup, but they’re getting a much lighter and smaller form factor laptop. To suggest just getting a base 16” misses that point as for anyone that’s been able to hold one will know it’s a beast in terms of size in comparison.
I don’t understand how they keep upgrading the speakers when comparing the 2016 model to an XPS or Razer Blade was already downright embarrassing. There must be some black magic in Apple’s audio engineering lab.
Yeah, its incredible how much better Apple speakers are compared to those laptops. If only the Blade could do the same, it would be an amazing deal.
you dont need to understand.
Hey they use the word “Magic” everywhere in their product line. ;)
ricky v Cause it is
ricky v and yet they don’t call them “Magic” Speakers lol
best MBP buying guide Ive ever seen. Straight to the point and targets creatives
I run google chrome, so I need 64GB ram
Why does google chrome use so much ram?
Legit! Chrome and Remote desktop made me upgrade.
@marian roberto only slightly
not enough, I think you need 1TB RAM minimum
I remember when Chrome used to be the good guy...*insert Revenge Of The Sith Obi-Wan quote here*
This is the best computer I've ever owned:
16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 2.3GHz 8-Core Intel Core l9
THIS IS MY 11TH YEAR WITH A MAC, MY READING TEACHER IN HIGH SCHOOL USED TO SAY, ONCE YOU GO MAC YOU NEVER GO BACK. I CAN NOW SAY THE SAME BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE MY SELF WORKING WITH OUT ONE. PLUS IPHONE, APPLE TABLETS. GOD IS GOOD. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS I'M LEARNING NEW THINGS.
I just do TH-cam videos and just be on Final Cut Pro. I upgraded from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a 2019 16 inch base and I love it. It does the job for me. I love the screen, speakers and keyboard..
Real Matty Smokes whats about the thermal throttling? I just bought the same model to do music production and video editing but I have read that it is too tight and I don't know if I should buy another model or maybe some with windows
Dont forget your student/military discounts and use your apple card :)
And wait for thanksgiving to get the 200$ gift card.
@Random TH-cam Watcher Last year they did an up to 200 gift card for macbook laptops.
this is the first time i heard military discount
@@Gabe-em4pf Oh right almost forgot about this!!!!!
@@mengshi96 Yea the military discount is a little better than student discount.
Just yesterday I was committing all these mistakes while ordering my MacBook Pro luckily I waited until today and came across your video and let me just say you have saved me a pretty penny ! Literally most useful MacBook Pro video out
More people should encourage their viewers to save money by not buying shit they don't need. You Rock!
You covered photo and video editing and also simple web browsing but there is one group of people who use MBP that you missed out. Music producers.
And software developers.
I need a revamped 13'' macbook pro with all the updates from 16'' macbook pro.
erase 14” MacBook Pro
Next year. Just like back in 2012/13 with the retina MacBook Pro
will these actually come?
I'm hoping for that as well, I want at least 256GB on the base model.
Yeah 13 is the perfect size
I’m watching this with 3 $ in my bank account.
Toutorial_For_Live _ me too!! After buying one
Good. Now save 1k more of them 👍🏽
Computer science college senior here..went with the 16 inch with the 2.3 GHz 8 core processor, 16gb ram, 4gb VRAM, 1tb storage..buy refurbished from Apple I was able to get those specs for about the same price as the base model brand new...decided to upgrade when my 2015 13 inch MBP wasn’t really holding a solid charge anymore and when I wished I had more screen real estate for side my side programming and googling/stack over flowing/looking at the spec.
Thank you soooo much for the advice!!! I edit photos a lot and I will definitely buy the wrong one if I don' t watch this video.
I'm not a video editor or need the MacBook pro for professional needs, but I'm still getting the 16inch. I've always enjoyed the larger, higher-end models because I use it as a substitute PC at home. I also love gaming on them. I'm thinking of maxing out the graphics card, getting the 2.3 processor, 32 gigs of ram, and 2 TB of storage.
I just decided to go all out with everything. Processor, ram, and graphics and then 1tb hard drive. I need both photo and video capability. Great video!
Wedding Documentary Photo + Cinema did your bank account go all out too?
@@buckschneider7973 lmao!
hard drive?
Julián Astrada 1tb is good enough
Shalan Sharma i usually have Lightroom and photoshop open and sometimes final cut too. Also I want to
Future proof it for 3 years
I think your recommendation for students to get the Air/13 inch pro could be improved. My workflow isn't demanding (web, writing reports, reading text, online assignments), but I need the large display to fit multiple tabs on my screen at the same time - good luck doing that on a 13 inch. Sure, all I need in processing power is U processor and no integrated graphics, but I want a large display. So 16" is a valid choice for many more people than you suggest, it's not just for the high-performance crowd.
What about music production. :(
We always get left out of the discussion, but I suppose it is up to us to produce content for people to view and listen to. Still, I find it curious that almost every tech pundit is so goddamned fixated on the video and photo stuff that they completely leave out musicians, as the MacBook is a superior music production machine.
Hell yeah bro I don’t know if I need 16 or 32 gb of ram
@@sawshark5060 I have 16 on my old MCP 2015 15'' and it's just enough. I use a lot of Kontakt stuff and RAM hungry plugins so I think u only need these 32Gb if you are making huge projects with big orchestral vst's ... I know 32 sounds so nice but you will barely need it.
@@sawshark5060 you definitely need 32gb
Thanks
One thing to note, I wouldn't completely rule out the highest end i9 this time around, only because of the thermal performance that has been stated by Apple. We should wait and see what some benchmarks are like just to compare, but I wouldn't be surprised if this time around the highest i9 is actually worth the 200$.
What about for music production? What do you recommend and why don’t mactubers ever y’all about this market?
Zack Orr maybe because they don’t know about how it would do for music production and don’t want to guess and lead you music producers astray? Maybe
Since all MacBook buyers trust their macs performance and quality. This is the only video you need to watch before buying. No bullshit guide. Short, concise and highly informative.
How should a competitive programmer buy considering the upgrades!!
YOU NEVER SUGGEST ABOUT THE PROGRAMMERS/CODERS AT THE END! Please do so... Waiting for your reply
Honestly, the base model will be MORE than powerful enough for most programmers.
If you don't think so, get the 2.3GHZ 8-core CPU and 32GB of RAM and however storage you want.
@@MaxTechOfficial Yep, even if you work on docker a lot, setting up production-like swarm + data crunching app, etc... 6-core + 32GB RAM + 512GB SSD (backup in github) is sufficient. If you run VM's instead (say at lest 2 at the same time), then you may need that extra core, RAM and SSD.
If you regularly compile large codebases (> 1 million lines of code) more cores will serve you well, but the average coder working on small projects and web dev would be happy with the base model.
This video was sooo necessary!
My 2015 13” mbp’s screen broke recently and I was planning on buying a new laptop this week!
I was about to spend 2500€ on an upgraded 13” model, but decided, that the baseline 16” is just a much better deal at 2700€!
It won’t be as portable as my 13”, but I can’t be without a laptop until Apple decided to finally drop the new 14”.
So useful. Being a first time MacBook buyer I appreciate this
I am a software developer.
Since I don’t edit videos, 512g storage is sufficient. For $2.99 a month I can grab another 300g in the cloud. Totally worth it there for me.
RAM, however, is everything to me.
This is the best Pro-sumer/Casual Gamer/Development config:
16” MacBook Pro
6C/12T Core i7
Radeon Pro 5500M 4GB
16GB DDR4
512GB SSD
$2,290 (with student pricing)
I wouldn’t buy anything other than this config. The battery will last longer, it will produce less heat than the Core i9 model, and it gets you the 5500M (granted only the 4GB version).
I dunno it's going to be hard for me to not max out the ram on anything I get. 64gb is just too crazy not to try.
@@Davidsworldtravels Curious as to why you need 64GB RAM? I used to think I needed this for running virtual machines on a desktop, but in practice, a lot of my previous VMs have moved to Cloud computing services. I have a 64GB desktop, and for video/photo editing find that I never use more than 32GB...what is your use case?
Two days since release has passed, and this video is still the best and the only buyer guide which people really need at the moment.
Looking forward for a fact based buyer guide after benchmark!
How did apple send them to so many TH-camrs but you, even tho this video is the best one about it yet
cuz most youtubers are just paid advertisers..
@@kevinvo6144 you are correct.
pretty sure youtubers bought them and did a review for content then returned it afterward LUL thats what i would do
Just ordered the 16" with the base i9, 32GB of RAM, and maxed out GPU. Going to change my photo editing, video editing, and code compiling so much! Upgrading from an early 2013 15" Pro. It's about time. I was holding out for the 16" and I am glad I waited.
Totally agree with those recommendations, well done.
Ordered the 16inch 8-core with 8GB of VRAM GPU for video editing on the go. I use the iMac Pro in the studio.
Greetings
I recommend that everybody just hold out buying the Air or the 13 inch. Without a doubt they are gonna upgrade both with new keyboards, screen size etc
Never seen your videos before even though I watch lots of tech reviewers. Legitimately great video
I’m maxing the Gpu and going 32GB RAM,, but in general your suggestions are spot on. Any extra money and you don’t photo or make music, put extra in Storage.The top 16’n processor is almost never worth it and this is no exception. Look at the numbers.
You go from 2.3 - turbo to 4.8.
Best CPU - 2.4 turbo to 5.0.
You’re only getting .1 or .2 either end of performance spectrum.
When are the thermal throttling tests coming?
Teddy M when they receive 🤓
@@gokcanselem8021 seen plenty of unboxing 10 minute + reviews already and no one reviews the new GFX card or thermals. So.. answer that one.
Teddy Man, I am just kidding :)) Also, I am waiting the thermal test as well.
@@teddym2808 iJustine didn't do a formal thermals review, but she said it was noticeably cooler when editing (presumably 4k) video than her 2018 (or 2019, I don't remember which) 15".

Best macbook guide video on TH-cam, don't waste your time on waiting for other videos to come up with benchmark bs, trust this guy, he has all the valid points to buy the required macbook!
This video is amazing thank you !!!!!
This video spared me from wasting money on speccing up a base 16 with extra RAM, CPU and storage. Total savings: ~212€ => ~260$. Thanks a bunch mate!
That's cool, It's really informative and the way you have break down everything in detail in such short video will be helpful for potential Macbook buyers. Good Days 👍.
Dude!....I’ve been looking for a video like yours for awhile.....I fall under the photo/video and I’m solid in the middle and you just save me some bucks cause I was gonna max the 16 inch Mac book pro just to be safe but the price had me going back and forth. Once again, thank you my dude 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😎😎😎
Which one would you recommend for a professionell music producer who has big projects (more than 50stems per project) and uses many third party plugins (those need mostly higher performance)?
Thank for videos like this!
I have a MBP 16 (base model) and now I wish I can return it. It has very serious thermal issues. The computer would frequently freeze due to overheating, sometimes even right after it boots up with no apps running in the background. The CPU load would go up to 100% easily because of overheating, and the fans would run at full speed. Even browsing the web would be very laggy. In fact a lot of times it is even underperforming my 2018 13" macbook pro. I did some research online and realized that this is actually a very common issue among all macbook pro 16 users. I know some people really love this macbook but I just want to tell people my experience so they know the risks before deciding to buy it. Don't base your entire buying decision on these TH-cam review videos. These videos are great but they mostly serve the purpose of entertainment. Instead do some thorough research on sites such as Apple's support forum and see what actual issues and frustrations other MBP 16 users are experiencing.
For a professional programmer, what kind of add-ons would you suggest? :) Thanks for the helpful video!!
def look into the apple certified refurbished store. the base 16” is priced at $2,039, and the upgraded i9, 16GB, 1TB at $2,379. both bring you over $350 in saving. i ordered one a few days ago and it came in absolutely brand new with 2 battery cycles on it.
I got my 2019 15 inch macbook pro 4 days ago just to find out they release a new one in the same week. Guess what I´ll be returning ;)
same here
Another thing to keep in mind. Remember that the components aren't upgradable. You'll want to take that into account when purchasing. Especially if you're someone like me and aims for at least 4-5 years out of a machine before replacing it. So, going a bit higher now will help you long term. Yeah, it's more expensive, but assuming you want to keep it for longer, it'll help.
Great pointers on which is the best value and upgrades. This video was on point, great job 👍
I was debating whether to buy the 15” MacBook Pro since I really need an upgrade. This is a god send. I have a base model MacBook pro 2014. That dual core i5 128Gb ssd 8g ram. It wasn’t cutting it anymore. 6 core i7 16Gb ram 512Gb ssd. That’s more than what I need for college (I’m in computer science) and app development. Developing graphical UI on such a small screen and slow laptop was a nightmare
Goes straight into what you need and being honest!
Good work!!
Great video! Thanks for the tips!
Seeing this was made before the Macbook Pro 13 inch 2020 came out.
Would you think the 16" Base model (but with 1TB) vs the higher end 13" but with the upgraded 10th gen i7 processor?
Thanks!
But the magic keyboard is only available on the 16”. That alone is why I’m considering trading in my 2016 15” 😔
so, from my understanding, choosing the upgraded model actually gives more benefits than just better specs. I know with the 13 inch model the upgraded version also includes more fans and better speakers.
VERY NICE guide! Very impressed!
Little late but my father is an architect and just bought this , he maxed it out and he says it's perfect. And he said if you are an architect student buy it . Hope this helped someone
It is nice - great round up. The RAM upgrade is so expensive though.
Can I use their party ram instead of apple's ram???
Mission CA no actually but 400$ for 32 is not that bad!
@@amru4553 it is technically 16Gb because it already came with 16 so 32-16=16
$400 for only 16GB of ram , you could get a single 64GB ram stick for that.
@@missionca1331 You cant it is soldered on
$400 for 32GB of ram is not bad? it is not $400 it is $500+ because they are keeping your 16GB that came with the PC along with you could get 128GB for $400+ at 3200mhz+ speeds, same for that $700+ SSD that should only be $300 tops, their fan base is so
delusional
Very good & clear advice in every way.
Except......I just could not ever recommend the MacBook Air - The 13 inch MacBook Pro is just so superior in every way and worth much more when it comes time to sell it on eBay.
BEST BUYER GUIDE as always!! thanks heaps for this.
After paying under $250 to upgrade my old laptop to a 2TB SSD I could never consider paying anything near what Apple wants for SSD. Granted they are 4 times as fast, but most of their upgrades seem to be close to 2x what the underlying commodity price would be for similar specs. And you can't even upgrade it aftermarket to save, because everything is just chips soldered to a motherboard, which not only should be cheaper for Apple, but also makes it impossible for you to cost effectively replace should it fail out of warranty.
Straight to the point while explaining everything! great video as always! Can't wait for the review... Stay awesome! : )
Fantastic breakdown! Confirmed all the choices I’d made, which was to keep the base 16” model and just go for the 8GB video card as a hobbyist coder, videographer, digital artist. Portable SSD storage is far cheaper than Apple’s upgraded storage offerings.
Smh just get a Mac Pro stand, amazing value for money
You're going everywhere with your mac pro under your arm?
matsmonster no, it’s a joke on the price tag of a hunk of aluminum
You just saved me $1,500 in assumptions... About to order my first MBP and was thinking I needed to load up for video editing and music production... appreciate this coming across my feed!
Which one did you get?
neither... now waiting on the new release with new processor
Davik good bits of info. I would have just bought it with 64 GB of RAM. That’s probably not something I’ll need anytime soon. Thank you.
I think it's cute when non-programmers make recommendations for what to buy if you're a programmer. Don't take the advice in this video. Plain and simple, the screen real estate and better keyboard on the 16 inch MacBook Pro will maximize how much code and tooling can be on your screen at any one time, plus you'll type faster with fewer mistakes. This is especially important if you ever use Vim (which most programmers on macOS will eventually use) since it uses the escape key very frequently. As far as the other specs, it really depends on what kind of programming you're doing and how long you need the machine to last.
hey im a "High end" Graphic designer, im use photoshop ( A lot) After effects and Cinema 4d, im planing to going with 1TB version butt you think I need upgrade the ram to 32? or 16 is enough?
Thank you!
I have the same question.
Thank you so much for making this video! I've been looking for something like this for several weeks! I'm in the process of buying a MacBook Pro, and being a photographer, want to get the best laptop for the job, but don't wanna spend over what I have to!
OMG this is soo helpful, thank you so much guys, truly love this channel :D :D :D
personally the ram will be maxed out for me being a heavy multitask designer with illustrator InDesign photoshop and maybe lightroom and web browsers open all at once with heavy illustration and tones of layers in each file swaping constantly between them. next will be the processor and then the graphics. With programs and operating system getting heavier its totally worth buying more ram from the offset even if you think 16gb is enough. Well done guys great vid
Yo I got to say this video is soooooooo damnnnnn helpful!!! I need to actually take notes on this LOL
You have a quiz on this tomorrow.
As a developer this new upgrade is crazy. Finally, a MBP that makes sense again.
Top tip for software engineers,
Go with the 2700 model and just upgrade the ram to as much as you can afford and up the storage to 1tb
Boom, best laptop Apple have offered in years.

I know you’re maybe not an audio expert in this, but musician/ audio engineers are content creators, too and are a big proportion of MacBook Pro users. Maybe consider to include those option in your buyers guide in the future, because we otherwise have to dig deep to get that kind of information. But still thank you for your guide.
This Video is focused to those who are photographers and Video Editors i found this Information not Helpful for a Gamer trying to get the best of a Macbook Pro with Boot-camped Windows 10
A Gamer trying to get the Best out of the MacBook Pro? You must be really rich.
Wouldn't necessarily pick the 8GB GPU for video editing and rendering. If you have some extra bucks, you'll get a much bigger performance boost with an eGPU. So if you primarily use your MBP stationary, a Blackmagic eGPU is definitely worth considering. When I bought my MBP 16", I would have had to wait six weeks for the version with the 8GB VRAM, so instead I just took the basic 4GB VRAM GPU and added a Blackmagic eGPU and I actually have to say I'm quite happy with that choice. It's pretty damn fast. Only downside is that obviously it's more expensive than just picking the 8GB VRAM, but if you have enough money, it's absolutely worth it, in my opinion.
Hmm, how about people who run a shitton of simulations?(stem fields)
Get a gaming PC and dual boot macos
Don't tell people to buy a air or 13 until they fix the keyboard! After that your recommendation is a solid option...but not until they fix the KEYBOARD.
It’s early days to be able to call the keyboard “reliable”
Apples keyboards that use the same key design (previous MacBooks and desktop Mac keyboards) are all very reliable so going back to this design should solve these issues. - Max
16 gig is enough for photo editing. Sure 32 gigwill probably run smother, but photoshop, and light room will run fine on 16gig of RAM.
Also I feel like storage is not so important on these new Macs since it has usb-c. you can just buy an external SSD and plug it in.
Mistake to avoid #1:
Buying a $30.000 MacBook

@@JettHansley granted, it looks like he meant to type "30,000" and instead typed "30.000" ya know, 3 zero's? He mistyped, i misread.
Great video, just ordered 16" with 32GB/1TB/8GB/2.3
I won't make those mistakes because I won't be buying it.
Like aways, your videos are super informative. I was very undecided between 13 inch $1700 vs 16 inch MacBook pro $2300. I decided to purchase 16 inch pro base model. I was worried that the 16 Inch screen would be overkill, but its an amazing display. Pros, Bigger screen, speaker quality is amazing, & dedicated graphics card, & more comfortable to type. Cons prob just the price. Overall I am happy for the purchase. I am coming from a Mid 2012 Macbook 13 inch i7. Believe it or not the little monster is still running strong, 8 years later.
"Only a thousand dollars."
Just did quite some research on all these possible upgrades and came up with the same conclusions as you. Would've saved me a lot of time if I had come across this video in the first place!
one thing you missed out on is people who are running deep learning algorithms using GPU's, not only used for people working with photo/video editing... but of course those people probably already know what they need to be buying
This video is extremely helpful. I got a MBP 16 and honestly I made my purchase decision based on this analysis. Thanks a lot!
just bought one this weekend and I am very satisfied, it is as you show in your video.
Also for the developers it's really good news. If you have one VM running and a couple of instances of IDE, 32GB of RAM are a very welcome addition
