Did I miss something? Watched until the end, but..., which is the ONLY M3 Model I should buy??
so..... what is the The ONLY M3 MacBook Model You Should Buy! ?
😂😂 fr, YT channels nowadays go for the most clickbaity titles possible without double checking the content!
Second hand M1
@@apexxx09 thank you for saving me 8 minutes, gonna click away and look for another video lol
Appreciate it, wont waste my time here, fucking time thiefs..
Literally
Actually going from base M3 pro to M3 Max is a $1000 because the chip is $600 and the bump your memory to 36 gb for $400 without telling you
Same with going from M3 max binned to unbinned is not 300$ its more than double. Apple isn just gifting you free 12GB of memory lol
Yeah this is unfortunate. I can’t trust the entire video if he didn’t do enough homework 😅
That was exactly what I did, bought the base M3 Pro chip and upgraded the SSD to 1TB in Space Black of course
Whats the veredict, if you don't mind me asking? What do you use it for? Photo? Video?
@@afonsords We, my wife and I have this as a desktop replacement for our old iMac (Intel). Since we use a dual log-in we needed more SSD. She works in Software Devp.
@@patrickcallahan2885 Thank you so much!
7:29 36GB of RAM is not enough for running 70B and 180B parameter LLM models without compromising fidelity by using quantized models.
Is 96 enough? Or do you need to go to 128?
Even with 128 you'll be quantizing. 96 should be enough for falcon 40b using fp16.
I just bought a refurbished M3 macbook with 24gb of ram and 1tb of storage (8core CPU, 10core GPU) using it for some (not super intense) video editing and for school. I had the option of getting the m3 pro for the same price but with less ram (18gb) but with more cores (11core cpu, 14core gpu).
I decided in the end the ram was more important than the cores. I’d love to know ur thoughts!!
100% agree with this. I have a desktop that I produce music on that has 96GB of RAM, granted a windows machine is far less optimal for music production and I find that my machine is still only using about 15/20% of it's RAM with Chrome open / Studio One and Bitwig. That's roughly 19 GB utilised. I honestly reckon you could get away with the 18GB model even for music production (provided you're not having tow DAW's open simultaneously - for a very specific use case).
Depends on if you are using crazy big Kontakt libraries and SD3, etc…
I think which model you decide to buy all depends on how long you intend to keep it. I'm on my MacBook pro from 2013. I intend to keep whatever M3 I buy for another 10 years.
did you ever need warranty work with your 2013 mbp?
@Howard_3_Duck none actually. I'm shocked it works so well. The screen has been peeling for some time though. Speakers went bad too
8:04 You made a mistake here, the $300 is only a processor bump. If you haven't noticed, the ram increases sure, but it automatically adds a $200 premium. That totals to a $500 upgrade for the processor bump.
Yea I noticed that too in several different cases... very sneaky website design...
That’s Apple for you lol selecting things for you in the background 😂😂
How can a "pro" model only have 8 gigs of RAM in late 2023? The USD 1,600 is deceiving (bc you have to spend 200 more for 8 additional gigs).
I’m ditching my iPad Pro, keeping it as a Netflix machine. I had a Macbook Air couple of years ago, but I gave it to someone. The iPad hasn’t been satisfying my computing needs. Not “Pro” needs, mind you, just simple computing and browsing and file managing. I miss the traditional laptop experience. HOWEVER, I’m currently torn between waiting for the M3 Air but seriously dreading the non-promotion display, or get a 14” Macbook pro and upping it to 16gigs.
I am getting to hop onto the M3 Max from a 2013 MacBook Pro Rentina 15”. The old MBP is still running fine but very slow. I don’t however involve video editing for content creation or 3D graphics rendering works but I may venture into it as hobby in the future. I will most likely to spec the new 16” M3 Max with 64Gb and 2TB as this is going to last another 10 yrs. For me basically getting a MBP with higher specs is more of future proof since I won’t be upgrading for the next 5-8 yrs.
I think it’s massive overkill to go for 64gb and 2tb if you are not a heavy video editor or photography. I think you would even be good with a Macbook Air for your usage. Saves a lot of money😊
@@MMCC00he just wants the best MacBook leave him alone 😂
@@greveeen 😅
Thank you to confirm that the 1tb I choosed this week worths not only for the memory space but also for a faster machine. The RAM, I upgraded to 16Gb only. This way I presume I'll use half of the ssd size, and quite always been able to keep the another half for swapping memory when it's occasionally needed.
I was in the market for a new laptop. My 2013 MBA feels slow and the battery doesn't work much anymore.
I checked for alternatives and at the end found a M1 Pro 16" for what I thought was a good price. I hope I made the right call.
Almost got the base black m3 Pro, but the M1 had better specs (size and 1T) and a about 250€ cheaper. I hope I made the right call.
It also won’t be supported as long as the M3 Pro
Amen about the binned. Binned is a great way to get two fans, space black, plenty of speed, and upgrade to 1tb instead of 1 more cpu core
Yes, it is truly a confusing set of options this year. I more or less came to a conclusion for myself that the sweet spots for me are the highest spec 14” M3Pro MBP, or the lowest spec 16” M3Mac MBP. I already have a 16” M1Pro MBP, so I think I will hold out on any upgrades to that for at least another year or two. I will likely pick up a M3 Air when that comes out…I need something portable and I don’t think being led down a confusing path for the 14” does many any good despite arguments to the contrary.
Why would be the MBA M1 or M2 not enough?
You might miss the amazing display of the 16 inch.
why do you even look for a new laptop when you have m1 pro mbp 16'. Some of you are just idiot consoomers
@@oliverlisonstrong agree
I'm coming from a macbook air m1 base model, and i was just able to buy the new M3 pro 1TB SSD, 18gb memory.....I'm looking forward to the difference in performance!
Hey, congrats for your new mbp!. I've been meaning to buy the same configuration as well. Could you please comment on this once you've received your product and have a hands-on on the same. Would be of great help.
@@akhileshsarjit321 yes for sure, should arrive on release date I will let you know what I noticed different.
@@juanlondono8338 thanks mate!
@@akhileshsarjit321 Hey man thought i'd come back to this once i had it and used it for a bit i received it today, setting up the two external monitors i had took some time because the drivers of the dock station i have didnt want to work, but overall it has been a breeze through my workload, i have multiple tabs open with PDF's, Wordpress, adobe, lightroom, games and it feels like it is not making me slower it is amazing!
How are you liking it? Is yours the 18gb ram & 18 core GPU +1tb ssd? I just ordered this configuration. I video edit with 4k up to 8k. Hoping that it can handle it.
I bought a base model M2 air last year for $1250. Terrible performance. Luckily I was able to get $780 as a trade in for it at Best Buy. Which I thought was crazy generous. It made the upgrade a lot less painful.
This is a great but a great simple explanation and just precisely done. Thanks
36GB RAM is enough for everything? Not for me, I am a developer and I run multiple VM's and containers when I test run my code....
Prices in Euro are crazy today. Its 1,599 USD but 1,999 EUR for M3 basem model even though the amount of USD would be around 1,490 EUR in exchange. Thanks Tim!
In den USA wird immer der netto Preis angegeben. Da kommt immer noch Steuer drauf. Aber ja 2000€ sind immer noch mehr als der Umrechnungspreis von 1599$ plus Steuern.
@@Johnny4200 das ist gut zu wissen. Danke!
21% VAT (Belgium). So yes after paying your income 35-55% tax you again have to pay 21% tax and that's from your net income. In USA it's called sales tax but it's usually only between 0% and 6% depending on the state.
@officialArthurwinner We don't need your d**k pics.
still with tax included in the US it costs much less than in Europe. There is not even 1 to 1 ratio USD to EUR@@Johnny4200
Really perplex with what you said cause I only use Capture One and Photoshop and they are using over 20GB of RAM on my Mac Mini M2 Pro..
Looks like for me the sweet spot will be the M3 Max / 64GB / 1TB but not sure yet
Why not 36gb?
Hey,
I want to buy a MacBook for my college, but I am a bit confused which model to choose.
I want to choose between
Macbook Air M3 16gb Unified Memory
Or
Macbook Pro M3 base variant with 8gb Unified Memory
My usage is developing website, ui, ux and data analysis processes.
Also sometimes I use Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects.
Which one shall I choose ?
Hey did u get the answer??😅
@@rehaankhan997 yes, majority suggested me to buy macbook air m3 16gb ram
M3 Pro with base amount of ram 18GB and 512GB SSD is more than enough even for most video editors unless you work for Hollywood or similar, I have the base 14 inch M1 Pro from 2021 and I've yet to come across anything that I can't do with it, I'll upgrade when we get to the M6 Pro, unless I win the lottery ;) PS: get it if you're coming from an Intel Mac or a Windows machine otherwise spend your extra dosh on a fast 2TB ssd and a case of good wine
you are the best among the all Mac info providers on youtube .
I went with the 16” m3 pro with 12-core cpu + 2tb ssd. Pricey but your video makes me feel much better about that decision😂
I bought a M2 Pro 14 base model in September…Gunna keep it…just don’t think I’m missing out. I use the Mac for Photo editing hence the Screen is Damned good! I use a decked out windows Laptop with a graphics card and 32 gb ram for Video editing
How many days to the “I was wrong” video 😂😂😂😂😂
Any one considering the base M3 should seriously consider the base m3 pro, as its offers space black option and much better specifications. Or wait for the upgrade 15 m3 macbook air pro in space black.
assuming space black is better than space gray. black makes a Mac look like a PC
@@AndreaAustoni Mac is a PC (personal computer)
@@AndreaAustoniyeah indeed
Now this is a good fast review on the new M3 chips, all TH-camrs are just replaying the conference and adding no value to the info Apple already gave.
Great video.
Maybe someone in this comment section can help me decide which MacBook would be a good fit for me. I am currently rocking a M1 MBP 13" with 8 GB of RAM. In the last year I started doing full-stack development as a student still and my workflow consists of running IntelliJ and WebStorm in parallel which really pushes the 8 GB of RAM to its limits. Currently I should be running my application in a VM on Windows to run some tests there but I just can't. 8 GB of RAM is not enough to do that unfortunately.
I will be graduating in physics/IT in mid 2024 and I want a MacBook that lasts me at least 5 years while also being my work computer. I don't know exactly what I am gonna do after my masters but I assume something in software development or machine learning. So now I am wondering which MacBook to buy. To be honest I would just simply spec out the M3 Max chip and go with a 1 TB SSD and be fine. But I'm wondering if this is necessary. Maybe there are some people here that work as a full-stack developer or train machine models for their living that can tell me what their setup looks like an how much computing power they need for their personal work machine.
Thank you :)
Go over to Alex Ziskind. He can definitely advise you and there's a very active developer community over there.
I bought the top line M3 Max with 64GB and 2TB SSD . Done
I’m actually getting the M3 Max version and there is indeed a well known professional use case that needs 128 GB of RAM - Music Production! Virtual Instruments in a large project routinely need up to 100 GB of RAM. But you’re right ….the money you’re making when your workflow needs that kind of power and capacity is many multiples of what you’re paying not only for the computer, but to be able to take that its power with you in your hand luggage!
Wow i couldnt think of something that would use 100 gb ram until now, most ive used was 12 i think
On windows modded minecraft
bro no way music production needs 128gb I produce (albeit trying to upgrade) with 8 on a 2017 macbook pro
@@joeys02 You'd be very surprised that 64-128 GB of RAM are required when doing those big scores for films/games. Kontakt libraries are infamous for how much CPU and RAM they take up. Now if you're producing EDM which is not as demanding, 16-32 gigs is probably all that is really needed.
@@joeys02I know a friend who uses 230+ gb of ram on windows for this sort of stuff.
I need a computer just to work out which macbook to buy my brain can't take all this confusion 🤣
6:42 the cheapest is actually 3k if you pick the m3pro and upgrade the chip you end up with the m3max with 512gb ssd
I've been hearing a lot of people saying that the M3 Max isn't worth it and so on… but it's actually a really good upgrade, right? I mean, at least if you do heavy work. I got an offer for 3k for an m3 max, 64 rams, and 1t ssd. I know it's a lot and I'll mostly use it for editing, PPTs, documents, 3D designing, and programming. Is it good?
That's the question I ask myself 😢 maybe 3 hours a day. Can buy a M2 pro refurbished 16 GB 1tb for 2000 USD. Or, the m3 pro new, 18 GB 512 for 2500 USD . What should I do?
Consider! The Base M3 only supports one external display and has only 2 usb c ports. This is a dealbreaker for some people
I can't decide at the moment. I have two criteria: longevity (my current MBP is a mid-2012 and Photoshop and Lightroom have been very limited for the last two years) and the ability to deal with 3D, animation, CAD, real-time rendering as well as the run of the mill stuff all in a portable format and a large screen. I am currently drawn to the M3 Max because it should last for years and cope with everything I throw at tit for years. It's expensive, yes. But I'll get my money's worth out of it.
Tbh i use base m1 air and it handles kinda much pretty fine, idk about 3d animation but some rare davinci editing and coding in intellij with some apps open, it handles fast, also scored 6700 in multicore cinebench
Guys can the mv air handle CAD and revit?
@@Dgdrewmy wife has one and I try F360 on it with a high count polygon mesh. I was surprised at how well it was handeling it and with only 8Gb of RAM. You can consider that is better than a macmini i5 2018 with e-gpu.
i think the 36gb ram m3 pro 512ssd 18 core GPU is good investment for the future i mean you dont wanna ruin your ssd and also you are not gonna buy a laptop every year at least from my part i have been using the same laptop for almost 10 years and i game with it and use it for studying computer science at the time i bough it expensive and everybody was like why you waste so much money but now i have one pc that is still going for 10 years meanwhile people have upgraded at least one or twice their laptops and if you think about it they wasted as much money as i did but they did not realize it save up take your time and get one good laptop idk this is how i think about it
@@PopGheorghe what specs does your wife’s MacBook have? Do you think a MacBook Air with M2 and 16 GB Ram can handle complex models in F360 or other CAD programs like SolidWorks?
M3 with 24GB of ram is excellent choice and future proof.
Hello, Im a high school senior and I’m looking for a MacBook to use for my upcoming freshman year in university. I’ll be majoring in Pre med so I won’t need a super powerful laptop, but just one that can handle what I’ll be doing. My budget is $2,000. Can you help me decide what MacBook is best for me?
Well ! I'm lost. Actually I have a M1 Air with 16 GB and 1TB SSD. IT's fine for almost everything. Unfortunately when it's come to working with Fusion 360 on 3d printer slicer, it's a pain. I was looking for the M3, but which one? Wasn't my goal, but I'm flirting to go back to Windows with a Dell XPS. Any suggestion?
I am currently using a 12" MacBook from early 2016, which is unfortunately no longer supported with major software releases. So I'm stuck on Monterey. It's on its last leg at this point since I've been using it each and every day for the past seven years. Battery capacity is practically gone, processing speed is very bad and it only has 8gb of ram. I plan to upgrade to the baseline M3 with no modifications. I don't do intensive tasks all the much since this is just my personal computer for work whilst I have a separate dedicated gaming windows laptop. Storage hasn't been an issue on my MacBook and I only ever really have 2/3 apps open at once. 5.53gb of memory was currently used as of typing this.
I don't know how 8gb would run on an Apple silicon chip. Since I've never used a laptop with one before. Again, I rarely do intensive things like rendering. I would bump it up to 16gb for $200 more (I do have a $100 voucher). Then again, that does bring the price closer to the M3 Pro chip model that starts with 18gb of unified memory. But I don't want to spend more for a faster chip with speeds I do not particularly need, including it compromises battery life on the 14" model. Nor do I desire a bigger laptop like the 16" as it is both heavier and more expensive, of course.
Mentally, I am not adamant on upgrading ASAP but I don't particularly desire to wait for the new MacBook Air either. So if anyone is willing to share their views on this, I would appreciate it.
I'm using MBP 2018 and able to run Sonoma as well. 8gb here and good enough for some webdev, little bit video editing and Photoshop. Memory is about 6-7gb, but i'm using a lot of tabs in Chrome as well. Waited for M3... but now when I'm looking these specs etc...
Some things are off - at least for me. This 8gb base and removing thunders + some small things that will bother me if i'm going for long term. My MBP 2018 have 4 thunders by default. Currently I don't need any more power and I get my tasks done. For video side it will be good to have better specs, but it's not my main thing here. At the moment not sure about 2 229 € investment for 16gb M3. But you never know... still love M3 stuff.
If i'm looking your case... U have early 2016 12" no ports basically + you need do sit with Monterey. I would probably upgrade to M3 16gb model. Especially if you going for long term as well, it's worth it. My friend using MacBook Air from 2012, but it's not like everyday use... time to time some video calls and Word/Excel. But no updates anymore....
But if you using some more powerful laptop for gaming then probably you can run other tasks as well on it. Why don't you use it for work? Windows for gaming and for work you use MacBook? Ask from your company? Or if you're freelancer and want to have separated MacBook for work etc in the feature then go for M3 16gb, it's worth it at the end of the day.
But the thing is that for you in USD M3 16gb vs M3 Pro base model, the difference is only 200 dollars. If you have voucher it will be even less. If there is only 100 USD difference for you then go for M3 Pro base 14" and you run another 5-7 years with it. Maybe you start playing games there... if Apple supports.
i got the M3 Pro the day it came out. Mine is awesome, battery life is fantastic, the fans dont even come on when im using it running, photoshop, spotify, youtube, chrome, excel all at the same time.
Ignore the base M3 MBP. Treat it like a crazy person on the street. Avoid eye contact.
- M3 Pro MBP 14 for portability that benefits programmers, Cloud data engineers with AWS, and DJs/sound engineers.
- M3 Mac Mini Pro for the work from home that is a programmer, cloud data engineer with AWS, and DJ/sound engineers home setup.
- M3 Max MBP 16 for video editing, 3-D animation, CAD, or ML/AI.
When the M3 MBA and base M3 Mac Mini, the majority of people fall into this category. It is expected to arrive in January 2024. Medical or Mortage underwriters, data analyst using Tableau, benefit analysts, inventory management, students, or general web browsing.
I don’t need a “pro” so the base m3 will be my choice with up 16GB and 1TB - I want that for the ports and the screen and speakers! Although price wise I could get the base m3 pro I don’t want pro and wanted space grey which they don’t also have on the pro version😅
I do stock investing, and use 2-27" thunderbolts. I use constantly 30 gigs of ram and processing speed is critical for fills and not having delays of processing and using different apps. I have a 36 gig of ram that's great, but the 16 gig of ram was always borrowing gigs from hard drive. when you use 2 big monitors and lots of apps it gets busy. for me 48 gigs might be worth it.
Thanks for the information, I’ll just wait for the m4 chip 🤣🤣🤣
Personally I have a M1 Pro Base and I‘m fine with that. From my company we developers got M2 Pros Base and everyone is fine with that. Means: the M3 Pro Base will be enough for most people. In some cases a memory upgrade can be fine, but you can work with 16/18GB.
That's a really practical reasoning. What about getting a MBAir 15 inch with 500Gb and 24GB? I'm a photographer so lots of photos and videos to manage. :)
6:34 "how many wH0Res" ?? lol
I had to rewatch the last few minutes twice cause I was laughing too much.
What do i need for programming? build mobile apps or web apps? and more and would like to stay with the M3 pro it will be more expensive if i go for the M3 max thank you for your advice
and sorry if it is awful to read I'm not good for writing in english.
If your not touching machine learning you should be fine with even an Apple air
Yes- silver. Silver is the best.
No mention of the bandwidth that decreased from the M2 to the M3. From 200 to 150.
Fun fact for musicians using M2 or M3: Apple’s own Logic Pro software only uses performance cores (efficiency cores are not utilised) - so go for M2. Same for Pro Tools users.
Who else thinks Space Black looks like simply a Windows Laptop like Lenovo or Dell
I've read that all M3 Macbook Pro models have 2 NAND chips for the SSD. And swap memory is processed through the chip rather than disk space. Am I wrong?
I'm more confused now after watching your video LOL
downgrading the ssd makes it slower? what are you smoking
Appreciate your educational opinion.
You need to remind people there is no upgrade path other than replacement.
Check the final price carefully. From Max binned to unbinned. Look at the FINAL amount. And you will realise that you have made the calculation wrong for three videos.
an actually useful video for choosing a mac, great work, and he did not even have the laptops yet!!!
How do you know which one is binned and unbinned just by looking?
What's the cheapest Mac (Minimum CPU/GPU/RAM) I can buy that will allow me to play World of Warcraft (Retail), FFXIV at 4K/60 fps, and use multiple monitors while still using browsers and other home/office software?
Can it run Crysis?
This is genuinly one of the best and concise videos on these computers. I have a 13 in base model m1 pro and am hoping to upgrade to the 14in m3 pro with 16gb of unified memory. Would you say that it's a justifiable upgrade for someone who does video/photo editing on the regular?
Are you facing any slowdowns or stuttering when using your M1 MBP?
At that point, might as well jump to the M3 Pro 14” mbp
Should I buy the new MacbookPro M3 Max or the Mac Studio M2 Ultra? In some Geekbench tests, I've read that the new M3 achieves similar results to the M2 Ultra. What makes more sense at the moment? Portability doesn't matter, speed and performance are crucial. I'm looking forward to your recommendations. Thank you.
I reckon you should just go with the m3 max model. or if portability doesn't matter, you can get a custom built windows machine if you want. it is a much higher price to performance ratio than the m3 ultra.
@@oppenheimerbobm I'd like to research and build an ultra-quiet and powerful PC or explore recommended brand models. My budget is up to the price of the M3 Max.
Im a computer tech that has been doing work on PC and Mac for years. No offense intended but, the longer the video went on the more everything sounded like word salad. You REALLY should do a simple overview at the end of the video because I had to listen to it three separate times to untwist all the information given. Without some kind of suggestion at the end of the video I'm not sure why it was titled the way it was. Again, no offense just got really hard to follow the further I went into the video.
Should I buy a brand new 14” Pro M2 Pro (base pro) or the new entry level 14” Pro M3 (base non pro/entry level).
Hope that makes sense.
The best deal for those who wants to upgrade performance is M1Pro (paid off) to M3 max from education store. You will need pay extra only approx $1500 and have the best laptop for anything.
I have the 16" M1 Max with 32gb. Thinking of upgrading to M3 Max with 64gb. You think it's "worth it"?
Only you know that. Are you stressing the limits of your M1 Max for what you do? If not then there’s your answer!
M1, M2 or M3 with 8GB is no longer adequote, even for running MS business applications...
Which setup is best for lightroom and Photoshop? The the more demanding stuff I do. I should keep the Mac for at least 3/4 years
for me, a person who uses unreal engine 5, what is the best configuration?
I find the use of binned/unbinned when describing the M3 family to be weird. In x86 land, the former has been used to describe silicon that is more desirable, be it for better standard performance, more overclocking capabilities, etc.
I agree. I take it some people like to refer to the M3 Max 14/30 as binned, while the 16/40 as unbinned, just to show off....
Thanks for your video, Arthur! I need to upgrade my Macbook Pro (Intel i5 2 GHz / 16gb RAM / 512 GB SSD) mainly for music creation and some video and audio editing. What's the best choice between apple silicon processors?
I bought the m3 macbook pro base variant, will upgrade the ram in the future. Solid Laptop, big upgrade for me as I was using i5 MacBook air from 2015!!!!
you cannot upgrade ram or memory on these computers in the future.
so you got 18gb Ram which is unified memory and cannot be modified. Apple Mac Book Pros now are like phones, you get them with a fixed storage and that's it. no upgradability. That must be good for the environment I reckon.... :D
What would be the smart choice here? Macbook Pro M2 Max with 32 ram or M3 Pro with 18 ram? I use Illustrator, photoshop regularly and some video editing in premiere. Thanks for the advice!
Yo creo que el M2 max con 32 GB es mejor.
m3 pro only have 150GB/s bandwidth between cpu and memory. the m2 has 200.... Don't buy the m3pro, it will perform slower on almost any task than the m2. Get the m3 max! If it is too expensive, get a refurbished m2....
Regret not buying an M1 or M2...
M1 still new stock holding price as well
Awesome breakdown! Do software development and needed to pick up a personal machine and ordered the 14 inch M3 Max (Binned chip 14 CPU Cores/30 GPU Cores), 36GB of ram and 1 TB of storage. Really tempted to order the full M3 Max and 48GB of Ram instead 😅
if you're a apple user you dont need those insane specs, anything your doing that needs those specs should be done on windows or linux
Not true, I do extremely long Timelapses working with thousand of photos at a time (100’s of GB) I’ll take all the performance and memory I can get.
@@Warp3326that makes no sense, i’m a software developer and need 64 gb ram for large scale ai models where i’m testing and creating large model llms. for testing i use multiple virtual machines inside my mac for windows 11, linux etc. honestly the m1 chip really blazes through but planning on upgrading to the m3 max 64 gb ram and 2 tb ssd. my 1 tb filled up real fast. do i need it? probably not but i think its worth it
personally i would. i’m all about future proofing and think that would be better
@@Warp3326 I highly disagree on windows. Linux wipes the floor with windows in terms of performance. Windows is also adware disguised as an operating system.
And if you don’t work at your home all the time and need a laptop a MacBook is ideal. Windows/linux laptops sucks. Maybe with new windows arm laptops they might be able to compete, but as of now they are nothing more than desktop computers that are easier to move around. You still need to be plugged in somewhere or else you’ll lose so much performance and battery life on those things are a joke
You missed the description of efficiency/performance cores in M3 PRO (worse than in M@ PRO), as well as the memory bandwidth decrease.
He didnt answer his question 👎
Why does more storage makes the MacBook faster?
The bigger SSDs are faster.
I hope I get a response before this day gets started. I bought the 14inch MacBookPro M3Max with the following specs! 14 Core CPU, 30 Core GPU, 36GB of unified memory. I believe = max 300GB/‘s memory bandwidth. My question is this.,. I will ONLY use this laptop for editing 1080p and some 4k files (drone footage) maybe some 4k DSLR footage as well with a lot of 3rd party plug in’s for Final Cut Pro X like Titles, Generators, Effects and transitioning etc… should I return this product and upgrade to 64 GB of unified memory with 16 core CPU and 40core GPU? Which by the way would = Max 400GB/s memory bandwidth! OH and does 14” vs 16” make a difference with the same exact specs? Thank you in advance.
Hey ARTHUR, love your channel can't wait to see what's more to come!
i am about to purchase a Macbook fore Premiere video editing. but i can't decide on:
MacBook M3 Pro 36GB RAM 512GB SSD 14-core 14.2 = 2.750 US
or
MacBook M3 Pro 18GB RAM 512GB SSD 14-core 14.2 = 2.140 US
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Upgrade to 1tb of storage and at least 16gb of memory but if you edit A LOT of videos you probably need at least 32gb of memory. Hope that helps
I don’t know if there’s music heads here but I’m planning on spending hours upon hours in Fl Studio and Pro tools, tossing up vids and editing in the mix of all that. I’m looking at the M3 pro chip 18Gb, 512SSD , 14 GPU. It’s $2000… just a few more than the regular M3. Should I go ahead and spend the extra money to ensure performance and longevity? I’m new to all this so I’m just not sure lol.
you said adding $20 you can get the 96W USB-C power charger, you don't have that option when buying an M3. Please advise
i am a stock trader which one should i get ? 64GB version ?
I don’t think of it as… Will it be good for what I’m doing on my computer? I think of it as…. How long will it be good for doing what I’m doing? I got the M3 Pro with 16 GB because I want to kind of future approve my Mac for the next seven years… Hopefully. When I purchased my MacBook Air 2013 years ago, I bought an i7 with 8 GB of RAM. Because I had more than the base amount of RAM (4 GB), I had the I7 processor, I think that’s why it lasted me until 2023. At the time that I seven was the only processor that had hyperthreading, and they would always say that oh, you don’t need that unless you are a power user… It was only a matter of time before that kind of pretty much became necessary. so if you’re going to spend $2000 or more on a piece of equipment, buy it for more than three years or five years shoot for 7 to 10 if you can.
i can’t even afford all this but ive watched every single mac and iphone related video on english and hindi languages, Every single one. Just the thought of me having these devices gets me very interested in these videos even if those videos are bad..
Quick question, i do most of my intensive task in apps like CAD Revit and Sketchup, what model should I pick? I havent tried any macbooks but I really wanna try having one because of the portability
There is no revit for Mac OS
@@marieva3821 then why is there a revit for mac on the autodesk website?
Watching this on my M3 Pro MacBook Pro Base Model 🤪
Great video
No IFs or BUTs, 8gb is NOT enough! Nowhere enough and Apple knows it, it is one of their oldest tricks, they are using it to hide the real price.
It is not just too little for the CPU it ignores that your GPU is also using the RAM which means there will be massive caching and swapping to your SSD which will not only slow everything down, but will wear out the SSD which means your Macbook will be toast when it finally fails.
I have a 16Gb/512Gb Macbook Pro M1 Pro and that is borderline. I periodically get graphics failing to render and have too much memory swapping to the SSD.
You can always plug in extra SSD storage externally, but do not skimp on the RAM!
I purchased 2T of external storage and a Thunderbolt drive caddy to install the system in the external storage. This saves money and I'm not afraid of damaging the original SSD!
I agree totally! I tried the base 14 inch M3 Mac with 8gb Ram and totally put it on its knees just by importing one video on Final Cut Pro. It swaps like crazy even for basic tasks between 2-3gb to 16-17 gb. I always get yellow memory pressure and once it completely ran out of memory and froze with red memory pressure. The statement that 8tb on Mac is 16gb on PC is total bull...Also the base 14 inch easily revs its only fan and goes loud under load. I'll return it and get the 16 inch 36gb ram, m3 max, 1tb, 14/30 binned or whatever they call it.
Hello, I need a suggestion please. What should I choose, MacBook Pro 14 M2 Pro 10 core 16gb ram 16 GPU 512 Ssd or new MacBook Pro 14 M3 base 8 core 8gb RAM 10 GPU 512 ssd? They have the same price!! Thank you
My M1 iPad Pro is showing his beardduff
This is the first M3 MacBook video I have seen where someone claimed that the 1TB hard drive is faster than the 512GB hard drive. If these were Windows systems, then they would slow down as they filled up. Are they actually different types of SSDs with different performance ratings?
The new colour distinction throws doubt and effectively label all Space Gray M1/M2 users as “non-pros”. Sneaky subtle push for upgrade adoption.
Any of the M chips are great. Just make sure you get a ton of RAM. That's the only bottleneck for these machines.
64Gb should last a long time right?
@@hackmandavidYep, 64GBs will be pretty solid for at least a couple of years still
I got 128Gb Ram on my desktop. Also Denoise on Lightroom Classic is 3-6 seconds on my desktop, compared to the M3 Laptop 36 seconds. Gonna get a M3 Max 14/30 with 3gb Ram/1 Tb SSD which is more than enough for a laptop. The prices are crazy for Apple laptops though. Never thought a 16 inch laptop would cost 4350 euro!@@drabekstepan
