Hey Lila, great video. I am still contemplating if it will be a 14inch or 16inch. it is even harder to choose now than before, because the only tradeoff with the new models is the screen size and maybe some battery life. As for an external drive, I bought the Raidsonic Icy Box IB-1825M-C31 (which is very Mac-like, but only fits in color if you opted for the silver MacBook) and put a 2TB Samsung 970EVO Plus inside. It is the best version for me. USB 3.2 can transfer up to 10GBit/s in that case, which is up to 1,25GB. So your 500GB would take half a second. If you need even faster speed there is also USB 3.2 2x2, which has up to 20 GBit/s. But that is way more pricey I like your video setup by the way. Planning on a Sony A7IV to replace my 6400. But these days I am renting the A7SIII most of the time and use the 6400 just as a B cam and for Zoom Meetings
I went back and forth over the 14 or 16 inch model. I liked the 14 for travel on planes but wanted the 16 for working in hotel rooms on the go...ended up going with the 16 and decided to use my 12.9 inch iPad Pro on planes.
@@marino6707 is too small for my old eyes when I’m working on spread sheets in a hotel room. I don’t need the extra power but I do need the bigger screen

I agree with this, as someone who travels, i feel the use case and comfort of working in a hotel or at a client site makes the 16 a wise choice over the 14. It's not like we are working on the plane that much
It's essentially identical in size to the 15" Mid 2015 MBP and everyone traveled with those. Zero regrets. For me, Screen size trumps that smaller size.
That 15" was already at the border line 8 years ago, when that design launched. Now, 8y later, the new 16" feels is even more bulkier, I bought that thing and regret after 3 days, I felt weird carrying it around, it feels like I had an outdated and gigantic machine. I felt in the past, literally. The 2016~2019 15" was perfect size.
@@edimarjunior572 Different strokes I suppose. I can't function without that larger screen. My wife has a 14" HP Spectre 360 and while the small size is nice when traveling, the screen size is an issue for me and my workflow when traveling (which is numerous times a week) and when I only get 1 screen to work on, every little bit helps. I've tried using hers a couple times (when she was trying out my old macbook to see if her workflow could exist in MacOS) and I resorted to just swapping back and fourth between desktop spaces instead of just having everything I need on one screen. I know 14 vs 16" doesn't sound like a lot but it turned out to be a much bigger deal than I expected and since all I've known is the larger macbook form factor, it feels exactly the same but with a bit more screen... and a HELL of a lot faster/quieter.

Deciding between 14” and 16” was a tough decision.

@@dwighthoward54321 I know your comment is one year old and you have probably decided on the laptop already, but it is definitely worth switching from an old Intel to an M1 chip.
I can’t agree with the comment “You can barely feel it” when it comes to the weight of the 16 inch model. It’s chunky. But it beats carrying around a desktop MacPro. The performance is great 👍
Super helpful review. Do you edit off the internal storage? How much of the internal storage are you currently using? Trying to decide if the 1TB to 2TB upgrade is worth it. Thanks!
I do edit locally on my internal SSD. I have the 2TB SSD but i HIGHLY recommend to max it as much as your budget allows. I really regret getting 2 TB, wish I would've gotten for 8.
I don’t know too much about the m2 tbh but you really can’t go wrong with the M1 Max. Especially the 64 one. I edit on it every day (hooked it to the monitor) and can’t believe it’s just a laptop!
If you get used to FCP you will love it as much as you love airdrop it’s 2x faster in video editing compared to premier and u will have also 2x more battery life
I heard FCP is great on the MacBook but I’m currently v happy with premiere pro :) I don’t really feel like re-learning an entire NLE to get to the level I’m at now haha. But yeah since it’s created by Apple for Apple I’m not surprised it’s faster!
@@lilafromyoutube It'll barely take any time. I have used both and have gone back and forth and it isn't much of a hassle. Takes a week to get comfortable with the keys and shortcuts and few more days depending on what you're used to doing on the premiere pro.
Just got my hands on the 16" MacBook Pro I ordered in November, and this thing is INSANE. I just got the M1 Pro, not the M1 Max, since I'm not a "creative professional" and don't have a "workflow." I just like the Mac. I upgraded from a 2017 13 inch MacBook Pro that sounded like a jet engine if I did anything serious on it. I was surprised by how much thicker and heavier the new one is, but in a "pro" laptop, I'm fine with that! On a technical level, what they pulled off here is incredible.
Mainly because I don’t think I needed the bigger screen. I don’t have a desk so it’s on my lap or laptop lap table basically needed a computer (Apple ecosystem) but wanted the new chassis over the M1 MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.
I returned my 16-inch M1 Pro for a 14-inch instead. Typing on the 16 and lugging it around wasn’t the best experience, whereas on the 14 its much more portable. I also have a gaming PC with 32-inch qHD 144hz monitor, so 14 is sufficient…
@@tommy_videoz of course their are faster drives out there but its totally possible to have slow speed on a Hard drive to a PC, i can plug the same hard drive into my i7 16 inch Macbook which is inherently slower in processor and ram specs than my PC, but has that sweet thunderbolt 3 speed and i can transfer files in 1/3 of the time it takes me to transfer from my i9 built HP omen with twice the ram and better graphics, So don't sweat the small potatoes of this discussion, this is mainly a breakdown and review of currently used items in reference to using the M1 Max.
its never to big, i used it on planes, trains, office ect. never had a problem with mine!. maybe your just a small girl, i am 6'1 and this is perfect. it might be heavy if your short and small
One key point you didn't mention about working on the go is that unlike PC laptops or even older MacBooks with Intel, the MacBook Pro does not lose power when it is unplugged.
@@lilafromyoutube You're welcome....Loved the video. I haven't taken my 16 inch on a plane yet so I was curious to see how it fit on the tray table. But yes most laptops throttle the performance considerably when you are on battery but the new MacBook's have basically identical performance if they are plugged in or not. Huge advantage for working on the go.
You're unlikely to charge it from the car. What determines the charging ability is the adapter and power source, not the cable. Unless your car charging port is capable of outputting 140W or higher, you wont be able to fast charge. The adapter you use must also be capable of that output, and support whatever protocol apple is using to enable that fast charging.
@@lilafromyoutube indeed! I ordered mine 16 and can’t wait for it to arrive over the holidays to start using it. So many good reviews about this generation, its almost as if Apple was planning this all along lol
I currently have the 14 MBP, and nothing to complain. However, recently, I’ve been wanting a 16MBP because of the bigger screen size. I know that the work I do wouldn’t use most of its power. Still debating on whether or not buying it
Thanks Lila for your input on the M1 Max 16" - i got the exact same spec as you did and am really happy with it. Although i find myself regretting for not getting the 4 TB storage. Got an external San Disk Extreme Pro V2 4 TB for additional storage of media files and FCPX libraries on the go.
@@lilafromyoutube same 😂 in Germany it's an additional 690 Euro to go from 2 up to 4 TB of internal ssd. Sticking with the 2 TB internal and going with the SanDisk Pro 4 TB external (Amazon deal price of 510 Euro) is the much more economical decision.
@@lilafromyoutube oh shoot - just use it for long term storage or not so frequently used files 😀i have a ton of external ssd's from Samsung (the T5 with 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB) but recently got this SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD which comes in up to 4 TB and has insane read/write speeds. You can check those with the free Blackmagic Disk Speed Test. Hope this helps… have a great one!
How was this video recorded? Did you record using your camera and record audio using like audacity and link in your editing software? Much appreciated thanks!!!
Ok, so both 14" and 16" have HDMI ports and airdrop. Saying that 16" has these options might be giving the impression that only 16" has these options and not the 14" ones.
Great video. Yes, you can charge a MacBook Pro 16" from any USB-C power source. I sometimes use the USB-C plug I have for my iPhone to charge my MacBook Pro rather than lugging the massive plug/power adaptor with me. It charges more slowly with lower power going in, but it does the job absolutely fine, and if you want to travel light, then using the folding iPhone plug is a viable option, so long as you are not looking to fast charge. Leave it plugged in for a few hours while you are asleep, and you will wake up to a fully charged laptop. On the size front, I also have an Air M1, which I bought with the idea that it would be my out-and-about laptop, but I never use it. Once you are used to the 16", anything else feels like a poor compromise imho. If I am travelling and space is so tight I can't get my laptop out, I use my phone to catch up on emails or whatever or take the opportunity to take a break from screens to read a book.
My employer allowed me to pick out a Christmas present. I chose the Case Logic Jaunt 15" Black 23L laptop backpack. And if I look at the sizes, this 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Max even fits in it. I hope Santa Claus is kind to me...
People talk about size so much with laptops. I daily drive a framework 16 with the dedicated GPU. This thing is what most people would consider a chonker, yet to me it still feels kinda slim and portable. Although I am a taller person with bigger hands so there is that too.
As a shorter person with smaller hands I would still not trade in my 16 inch for a smaller laptop. Having a bigger screen is my priority when I edit videos and carrying around 16 vs 14 is a small difference (what’s an extra pound when your bag already is 8kg 😂), I just take the “inconvenience” and enjoy a bigger screen!
Amazingly expressed everything... engaging and impressive... not realised when video ended... Keep it up 😉 you are doing amazing 🤩 I have given u 100% Audience retention 🔥🔥
Im buying this in a few weeks and was wondering if its too big or will it fit inside a bagpack. My questions answered. And the Airdrop thing I totally forgot, and I love that exists. Thank you. You have my sub :)
I got anxiety when I saw the 16 inch on the plane. I have seen so many videos of the person in front suddenly putting their seat back and crushing the screen. Great video 🙌🙌🙌
Super useful info, I am looking at the same config for an M2 MacBook Pro assuming they come out soon as expected. Although I expect it to be almost nil better than the M1. I’d be super happy with the M1 also.
Worth getting the 2TB SSD over the 1TB SSD? Been thinking of getting the m1 max 64GB, but struggling to decide on storage as I usually use external SSDs.
In that case, def get the 2tb or even consider 4tb depending on the type of footage you use. If it’s regular 4k, 2tb is fine, if it’s bigger files, 4tb might be worth it. I use 2tb, edit locally and then offload it. When I’m on a trip I don’t always offload is straight away which is why the 2tb comes in handy
@@lilafromyoutube probably just the pro, it’s likely enough for what I do. My poor 2015 MBP is struggling lol. I was going to get the M1 Mac Mini (to replace my 2012 MM) but then these new MBP’s came out and now I have to have one. 🤪
Hahaha the MBP is def a bit more versatile. I was dying to get a laptop because editing at my desk all day was driving me nuts. A luxury problem for sure. But now that I can work wherever I am (whether that’s the couch or a cafe or on a trip) has been good for my mental health 😅
I saw both the models at the Apple store up close and the 14'' already has such a big real estate. 16'' is an overkill unless you are a heavy photo or film editing user and if you want to take advantage of the advanced chips. I think 14'' is perfect for me.
well, I am planning to buy 16-inch M2 pro but is it allowed in airplane around the world or any exiting airlines in whole world, what do you say miss Lila.
16" M1 MBP 2021 is the same size as 15" Intel MBP 2013, slightly heavier yes but barely noticeable. Economy on airplane is not suitable for work since 2001
Depends. You can still definitely work on a 16 inch on planes and trains. It can get a little uncomfortable if you don’t have a lot of space but if you want the 16 inch, I don’t think you should go for the 14 because it’s a bit smaller. Unless you really value a small laptop. It all depends on your personal situation!
Watching on a 15" Intel MacBook that belongs to my office. I am going to be switching jobs in a couple months and need something both portable for travel and powerful for video editing on the go. I've been so torn between going one inch smaller or one inch bigger. I just tried both at Best Buy today and have to say I'm leaning towards the 16". It felt much more comfortable with space to rest my hands while typing.and I love the bigger screen. Still just wondering about the portability aspect if I'm potentially going to be working on some long flights from time to time.
I think the 14 inch might be better if you need something that’s SUPER portable. I like the 16 inch a lot but I’m not travelling with it every day. Therefore, I don’t mind to bring it with me when I have to. But if you’re travelling a lot, 14 is probably best
The 14” is a great MacBook but I really like the extra screen! I like to have the biggest screen possible when editing, but the 14 would still be a really good option
AWESOME! I am still waiting for mine...apparently they won't get to Denmark by the end of this year. You gave me some FOMO though. I got the base M1 Max 16" (32GB RAM and 1TB) and now I am thinking to give them a call and stick with 1TB but upgrade to 64GB RAM...aaaaaaa what should I do? haha :)
I can’t tell you that because I haven’t tried the 32gb model. I think the 32gb version is more than enough! It all depends on what you’re using your MacBook for and how long you’re planning on using it.
@@lilafromyoutube Even when I ordered it I thought I should have gone with the 64GB RAM and to be frank I am planning to correct the order but I am pretty frustrated with the waiting time. When did you order/receive yours?
So finally I received the Apple monster M1 Max 16",64GB,4TB. I am extremely satisfied with the initial outcome & throughput. I am doing S/W development work.
FANTASTIC!!! I’m SOOO glad you got this computer and it’s working out well for you! (Of course…*I* always said a 13” would be MUCH better for traveling -as I used to do a TON for work!) I think that 14” will be great, when I *FINALLY* can get it! Thanks for sharing!!! (Also….I’m SUPER excited that you moved over to the Apple side of life!!! AIRDROP?! MAGIC!!! 🤓)
Hahahaha I bet you loved the angelic choir effect 😂 yeah the 13 or 14 is great if you travel a lot but I want the biggest screen for editing. I hope you’ll get your 14 inch soon, missus Apple! 😜
Have you tried to fit it in the average hotel safe? I’m genuinely considering buying a second MacBook (M1 Air) just for air travel, while using the 16” for anything else. Any advice?
@@lilafromyoutube I've been to hotels with the older, larger 13" models before and they'd fit, but it's unfortunate that my 16" won't fit in the safe. :( In that case, it may be best that I get a cheaper, smaller machine just for traveling.
Hi Lila! Great video. I have been using a mid-2015 15" MBP for software development at work. I need to choose between the 14" M1 Pro and the 16" M1 Max for an upgrade. Would you be able to tell from what you generally know which screen size developers in particular tend to prefer? I am leaning towards the 14", because I really like small form factors in general and I have always found my 15" a bit cumbersome to carry around/store, but I am not really sure if going an inch smaller might turn out to be an inconvenience workwise. From your video, I gather that if I haven't found the 15" model very portable, I am definitely going to find the 16" one even less so.
I honestly have no idea what developers need so I can’t answer that question for you. It sounds like the 14 inch is your best bet - if you don’t like carrying around the 15” you’ll hate the 16”. 14 is good enough, especially if you have to carry it around a lot.
Totally agree on the Airliners tray. I still have a 2020 Intel Air for that which is very comfortable on the tray. With my new MacBook Pro 16" it wont work, and that's why I haven't sold the air yet.
I mean, it's a very specific circumstance.. How often are people on planes and editing ect (yeah i know some fly more frequently than others) that it not fitting on a tray is a major hassle. For someone like myself, i'm always at home and when i'm not i'm usually near a decent sized table but on the off chance i'm not then i'm probably not on a device at that time anyway. 16" is an ideal size for me but i will say the max chip is pointless for my usage.

You have a MacBook? If so, why r u watching this video? U already know this facts.
@@juap because I haven’t travelled with it yet. It’s also interesting to find out what other people think. Matter of perspective.
Super helpful review. Do you edit off the internal storage? How much of the internal storage are you currently using? Trying to decide if the 1TB to 2TB upgrade is worth it. Thanks!
I do edit locally on my internal SSD. I have the 2TB SSD but i HIGHLY recommend to max it as much as your budget allows. I really regret getting 2 TB, wish I would've gotten for 8.
@@lilafromyoutube awesome thanks so much for sharing, Lila 👍
@@lilafromyoutube I’m trying to decide between a M2 Max with 32 GB and 1 TB and a refurbished M1 Max with 64 GB and 2 TB.
I don’t know too much about the m2 tbh but you really can’t go wrong with the M1 Max. Especially the 64 one. I edit on it every day (hooked it to the monitor) and can’t believe it’s just a laptop!
@@lilafromyoutube right! I used to use a M1 Max with a previous company I was working for. Amazing machine.
If you get used to FCP you will love it as much as you love airdrop it’s 2x faster in video editing compared to premier and u will have also 2x more battery life
I heard FCP is great on the MacBook but I’m currently v happy with premiere pro :) I don’t really feel like re-learning an entire NLE to get to the level I’m at now haha. But yeah since it’s created by Apple for Apple I’m not surprised it’s faster!
@@lilafromyoutube It'll barely take any time. I have used both and have gone back and forth and it isn't much of a hassle. Takes a week to get comfortable with the keys and shortcuts and few more days depending on what you're used to doing on the premiere pro.
Just got my hands on the 16" MacBook Pro I ordered in November, and this thing is INSANE. I just got the M1 Pro, not the M1 Max, since I'm not a "creative professional" and don't have a "workflow." I just like the Mac. I upgraded from a 2017 13 inch MacBook Pro that sounded like a jet engine if I did anything serious on it. I was surprised by how much thicker and heavier the new one is, but in a "pro" laptop, I'm fine with that! On a technical level, what they pulled off here is incredible.
Agreed! Good to read that you’re enjoying your macbook
I wish I discovered you earlier , thank you for being drama free and easy to understand
you just got new subscriber
Are you happy with space grey? I can't decide which colour to get!
Yes, it’s the closest color to black haha. If they had a matte black I would’ve 100% went with that 😂 I LOVE the look of space grey
Currently watching this on my base 14inch model - literally all the power I need!
Awesome! Just curious: why did you go for the 14 and not the 16?
Mainly because I don’t think I needed the bigger screen. I don’t have a desk so it’s on my lap or laptop lap table basically needed a computer (Apple ecosystem) but wanted the new chassis over the M1 MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.
Makes sense!! I hope you’re enjoying it ☺️
Great review - I'm using a Huawei Matebook at the moment, but I hope to someday upgrade. The battery life is enough to seriously tempt me!
The battery life is 👌🏻
I returned my 16-inch M1 Pro for a 14-inch instead. Typing on the 16 and lugging it around wasn’t the best experience, whereas on the 14 its much more portable. I also have a gaming PC with 32-inch qHD 144hz monitor, so 14 is sufficient…
The 16" is just as portable
@@zoltanzanaHow is it just as portable if it’s 2 inches bigger and heavier?
@@LorianandLothric Easily portable. I have it.
@@zoltanzana no, it´s not!
@@cocomatef You may be right if you are a child or handicapped
Wait what!? An hour for 500gb to an SSD 🤔?
That’s how long it took for me to transfer all the vlog footage yes. My pc takes way longer 🤪
I don’t doubt there are faster SSDs, just using and comparing what I got :)
Yeah that seemed odd to me too def too slow for an SSD drive. Those speeds match with standard 2.5” HDDs. Something might be wrong with your drive!
@@tommy_videoz of course their are faster drives out there but its totally possible to have slow speed on a Hard drive to a PC, i can plug the same hard drive into my i7 16 inch Macbook which is inherently slower in processor and ram specs than my PC, but has that sweet thunderbolt 3 speed and i can transfer files in 1/3 of the time it takes me to transfer from my i9 built HP omen with twice the ram and better graphics, So don't sweat the small potatoes of this discussion, this is mainly a breakdown and review of currently used items in reference to using the M1 Max.
@@lilafromyoutube you should be able to reach transfer speeds of up to 40 gigs a second if using the right ssd and adapter
its never to big, i used it on planes, trains, office ect. never had a problem with mine!. maybe your just a small girl, i am 6'1 and this is perfect. it might be heavy if your short and small
loved the video Lila so is this MacBook gonna replace your pc
At this moment is has haha. I’ll do a comparison at some point when I have a new monitor 😅
@@lilafromyoutube are u using fcp?
Premiere
One key point you didn't mention about working on the go is that unlike PC laptops or even older MacBooks with Intel, the MacBook Pro does not lose power when it is unplugged.
Fair point! I don’t have any experience with working on laptops so I didn’t know but thanks for adding this :)
@@lilafromyoutube You're welcome....Loved the video. I haven't taken my 16 inch on a plane yet so I was curious to see how it fit on the tray table. But yes most laptops throttle the performance considerably when you are on battery but the new MacBook's have basically identical performance if they are plugged in or not. Huge advantage for working on the go.
Working on an airplane never works for me unless I get upgraded to first class. My best use of my flying time is getting sleep.
14” it's good choice. Because i’m work from home and office (use external monitor 24”).
👌🏻
You're unlikely to charge it from the car. What determines the charging ability is the adapter and power source, not the cable. Unless your car charging port is capable of outputting 140W or higher, you wont be able to fast charge. The adapter you use must also be capable of that output, and support whatever protocol apple is using to enable that fast charging.
I never said you can fast charge it though. Just that you can charge it if you can plug it into a usb-c power outlet :)
even if you can't charge it so battery percentage increases, you will prolong running time, so IMHO it's still worth plugging it in car.
Well u can charge it thruu a car also. There is 100w chargers made for xiaomi phones that goes in the car.
TBH, the 14in would feel the same flying on economy class because the airline table is simply just too close together.
Good point. 16 inch all the way in that case 😂
@@lilafromyoutube indeed! I ordered mine 16 and can’t wait for it to arrive over the holidays to start using it. So many good reviews about this generation, its almost as if Apple was planning this all along lol
Haha you’re going to love it!!
great video lila!
Thanks Dave!! 😊

You can charge the MacBook Pro via USB C anyways no need for a MagSafe cable
You can??
@@lilafromyoutube yes
Lila 91.K !!!! Yes!!! Getting almost to 100K!!!
I’m happy for you 🙏🙏🙏
Weeeeeheeeeeeee
I currently have the 14 MBP, and nothing to complain. However, recently, I’ve been wanting a 16MBP because of the bigger screen size. I know that the work I do wouldn’t use most of its power. Still debating on whether or not buying it
I’ve stilll got my mid 2009 and also have actually upgraded to 2021 glad i held back these years!
Congrats 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Lila for your input on the M1 Max 16" - i got the exact same spec as you did and am really happy with it. Although i find myself regretting for not getting the 4 TB storage. Got an external San Disk Extreme Pro V2 4 TB for additional storage of media files and FCPX libraries on the go.
More storage is always better! But at this price point I was like… 2tb will suffice 😂
@@lilafromyoutube same 😂 in Germany it's an additional 690 Euro to go from 2 up to 4 TB of internal ssd. Sticking with the 2 TB internal and going with the SanDisk Pro 4 TB external (Amazon deal price of 510 Euro) is the much more economical decision.
Smart! Is that an SSD or HD? Apparently I bought an HD instead of SSD 🤦🏻♀️ so I’m looking for a proper external SSD haha.
@@lilafromyoutube oh shoot - just use it for long term storage or not so frequently used files 😀i have a ton of external ssd's from Samsung (the T5 with 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB) but recently got this SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD which comes in up to 4 TB and has insane read/write speeds. You can check those with the free Blackmagic Disk Speed Test. Hope this helps… have a great one!
How was this video recorded? Did you record using your camera and record audio using like audacity and link in your editing software? Much appreciated thanks!!!
Ok, so both 14" and 16" have HDMI ports and airdrop. Saying that 16" has these options might be giving the impression that only 16" has these options and not the 14" ones.
well, this video is about the 16 inch and not the 14 inch
Great video. Yes, you can charge a MacBook Pro 16" from any USB-C power source. I sometimes use the USB-C plug I have for my iPhone to charge my MacBook Pro rather than lugging the massive plug/power adaptor with me. It charges more slowly with lower power going in, but it does the job absolutely fine, and if you want to travel light, then using the folding iPhone plug is a viable option, so long as you are not looking to fast charge. Leave it plugged in for a few hours while you are asleep, and you will wake up to a fully charged laptop. On the size front, I also have an Air M1, which I bought with the idea that it would be my out-and-about laptop, but I never use it. Once you are used to the 16", anything else feels like a poor compromise imho. If I am travelling and space is so tight I can't get my laptop out, I use my phone to catch up on emails or whatever or take the opportunity to take a break from screens to read a book.
THIS IS THE MOST REALISTIC REVIEW EVER THANKS FOR THIS
Haha you’re so welcome!
Just found your channel...not sure what took so long for the algorithm to suggest it...but glad it did.
Haha that’s so nice to hear. Nice to meet you!
Question: how are the fans? Do they run a lot while you're editing?
Nop! Just when I export sometimes. I will be uploading a premiere pro test in the next 1-2 months so I’ll make sure to cover this :)
My employer allowed me to pick out a Christmas present. I chose the Case Logic Jaunt 15" Black 23L laptop backpack. And if I look at the sizes, this 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Max even fits in it.
I hope Santa Claus is kind to me...
People talk about size so much with laptops. I daily drive a framework 16 with the dedicated GPU. This thing is what most people would consider a chonker, yet to me it still feels kinda slim and portable. Although I am a taller person with bigger hands so there is that too.
As a shorter person with smaller hands I would still not trade in my 16 inch for a smaller laptop. Having a bigger screen is my priority when I edit videos and carrying around 16 vs 14 is a small difference (what’s an extra pound when your bag already is 8kg 😂), I just take the “inconvenience” and enjoy a bigger screen!
Amazingly expressed everything... engaging and impressive... not realised when video ended... Keep it up 😉 you are doing amazing 🤩 I have given u 100% Audience retention 🔥🔥
Thanks so much!!! 100% retention heck Yes! Appreciate it
Im buying this in a few weeks and was wondering if its too big or will it fit inside a bagpack. My questions answered. And the Airdrop thing I totally forgot, and I love that exists. Thank you. You have my sub :)
Enjoy your macbook!!
Best Review I've watched regarding MacBooks 👍 now I've made up my mind about the 14 and 16-inch MacBooks and know which one to buy. Tysm!
I got anxiety when I saw the 16 inch on the plane. I have seen so many videos of the person in front suddenly putting their seat back and crushing the screen. Great video 🙌🙌🙌
Oh god 😭 now I have anxiety haha
@@lilafromyoutube 😂😂 great job on the video. Looking forward to the next one. Have a lovely weekend.
Thank you!
At 4:52 she said - While I had it on maximum brightness and after that her expressions.. 🤣 Super 👌🏻👌🏻
Great video Lila, I'm currently saving up for an m1 mac mini 😁
Awesome!!
Great video Lila! I ordered the 16" and it should come in next week. Can't wait!!!
🥳🥳🥳
Thanks for showing the practical side of this. I think Ill get it
You got this
@@lilafromyoutube I literally just got it! :D
Thanks!
For software engineers, repeat, you don't need that large screen. VS code doesn't have a crazy number of UI elements anyway.
Thank u for this video !! Super helpful !!
Glad you enjoyed it. Did it help you make your decision?
Super useful info, I am looking at the same config for an M2 MacBook Pro assuming they come out soon as expected. Although I expect it to be almost nil better than the M1. I’d be super happy with the M1 also.
Great piece Lila! But you were not explicit about your opinion on processor speed (vs. price) when editing photos…
Worth getting the 2TB SSD over the 1TB SSD?
Been thinking of getting the m1 max 64GB, but struggling to decide on storage as I usually use external SSDs.
Depends on what you’ll do with the MacBook! If you make videos like me, I’d def go for 2. 1 tb fills up too quickly in my experience
@@lilafromyoutube yeah - I primarily do writing, design and video editing as my work. Might be worth getting the 2TB.
In that case, def get the 2tb or even consider 4tb depending on the type of footage you use. If it’s regular 4k, 2tb is fine, if it’s bigger files, 4tb might be worth it. I use 2tb, edit locally and then offload it. When I’m on a trip I don’t always offload is straight away which is why the 2tb comes in handy
I'm eyeing the 14" just based on price point, glad you are loving it, I figured you would. :)
I get that! The m1 pro or max?
@@lilafromyoutube probably just the pro, it’s likely enough for what I do. My poor 2015 MBP is struggling lol. I was going to get the M1 Mac Mini (to replace my 2012 MM) but then these new MBP’s came out and now I have to have one. 🤪
Hahaha the MBP is def a bit more versatile. I was dying to get a laptop because editing at my desk all day was driving me nuts. A luxury problem for sure. But now that I can work wherever I am (whether that’s the couch or a cafe or on a trip) has been good for my mental health 😅
@@lilafromyoutube I hear you, I’d love to upgrade both but my bank account definitely disagrees.
😬
Did your new MacBook m1 max ever crashed or freeze ?
So far no
Hi, you should use Final Cut Pro, you will gain much more in time processing and battery life
I saw both the models at the Apple store up close and the 14'' already has such a big real estate. 16'' is an overkill unless you are a heavy photo or film editing user and if you want to take advantage of the advanced chips. I think 14'' is perfect for me.
Practice-ability 😂😂😂😂 - practicality you mean | great video though cause definitely on the fence between this and the 14”
Excellent Review Lila! Thank You.
Thanks for watching Doug
well, I am planning to buy 16-inch M2 pro but is it allowed in airplane around the world or any exiting airlines in whole world, what do you say miss Lila.
BANGER! Love it!
Thanks Ethan!!
your max keyboards looks different from others I have seen here in the US. Your return key looks way smaller and oddly shaped.
Probably because I’m in Europe
Brilliant video!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
I custom order the 14" MacBook Pro and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Awesome video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
aw yeah! when will you be getting it??
@@lilafromyoutube Between January 27 and February 9. Wish it was sooner.
Oh that’s a bit of a wait. Good luck
16" M1 MBP 2021 is the same size as 15" Intel MBP 2013, slightly heavier yes but barely noticeable. Economy on airplane is not suitable for work since 2001
Lol
Does fast charging reduce the battery life?
Dunno 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t think so
Thank you for this test!
Great and necessary video! I ordered the exact same spec in November and should be getting it this month
Exciting!
my 16 inch arrived today - it feels enormous. Im not sure I will keep it - may have to switch to 14 inch. It just feels like a desktop monitor !
Thanks for the review. I think Im gonna buy 14 inch but 16 inch with larger screen seem to be good.
Which backpack do you use lila?
The Peter McKinnon x nomatic 25L
@@lilafromyoutube Thnq U. Lila means purple in german btw
So 14" if mostly used on trains and planes. If you can wait to do work at hotels etc then the 16"?
Depends. You can still definitely work on a 16 inch on planes and trains. It can get a little uncomfortable if you don’t have a lot of space but if you want the 16 inch, I don’t think you should go for the 14 because it’s a bit smaller. Unless you really value a small laptop. It all depends on your personal situation!
Watching on a 15" Intel MacBook that belongs to my office. I am going to be switching jobs in a couple months and need something both portable for travel and powerful for video editing on the go. I've been so torn between going one inch smaller or one inch bigger. I just tried both at Best Buy today and have to say I'm leaning towards the 16". It felt much more comfortable with space to rest my hands while typing.and I love the bigger screen. Still just wondering about the portability aspect if I'm potentially going to be working on some long flights from time to time.
I think the 14 inch might be better if you need something that’s SUPER portable. I like the 16 inch a lot but I’m not travelling with it every day. Therefore, I don’t mind to bring it with me when I have to. But if you’re travelling a lot, 14 is probably best
@@lilafromyoutube I appreciate the suggestion. I will look into that some more.
Hey are you allowed to bring your 140W charger to the plane?
Check with the airline
Hi Lila, great videos! Did you ever consider or used the same specs on the 14 inches Macbook MA1 Max? Thanks and keep up the good work!
The 14” is a great MacBook but I really like the extra screen! I like to have the biggest screen possible when editing, but the 14 would still be a really good option
@@lilafromyoutube Thanks Lila. All the best :)

Hiiii 😊 so great to hear that. Nice to meet you!
AWESOME! I am still waiting for mine...apparently they won't get to Denmark by the end of this year. You gave me some FOMO though. I got the base M1 Max 16" (32GB RAM and 1TB) and now I am thinking to give them a call and stick with 1TB but upgrade to 64GB RAM...aaaaaaa what should I do? haha :)
I can’t tell you that because I haven’t tried the 32gb model. I think the 32gb version is more than enough! It all depends on what you’re using your MacBook for and how long you’re planning on using it.
@@lilafromyoutube Even when I ordered it I thought I should have gone with the 64GB RAM and to be frank I am planning to correct the order but I am pretty frustrated with the waiting time. When did you order/receive yours?
I got mine on the 29th of October I believe. I ordered it within 10 minutes after pre orders were opened
I am still waiting for mine. Order was placed on 14th Dec. Sooo long waiting time.
I ordered max m1 64GB, 4TB.
So finally I received the Apple monster M1 Max 16",64GB,4TB. I am extremely satisfied with the initial outcome & throughput. I am doing S/W development work.

What sleeve did you use to protect the MacBook?
I didn’t use a sleeve when I was travelling and didn’t notice and scratches!
Have you tried to fit it in the average hotel safe? I’m genuinely considering buying a second MacBook (M1 Air) just for air travel, while using the 16” for anything else. Any advice?
The safes I’ve seen in hotel rooms are very small, it would only fit 2 cameras, definitely not this MacBook. Not sure if a 13 inch would fit
@@lilafromyoutube I've been to hotels with the older, larger 13" models before and they'd fit, but it's unfortunate that my 16" won't fit in the safe. :( In that case, it may be best that I get a cheaper, smaller machine just for traveling.
literally I'm looking for this type video from long time. thank you so much ............. lot of love from india

Great Video 👍🏾
Thanks Aleye!
wow! Im so excited to get my 16 inch with exact spec as yours!
😁
Hi Lila! Great video.
I have been using a mid-2015 15" MBP for software development at work. I need to choose between the 14" M1 Pro and the 16" M1 Max for an upgrade. Would you be able to tell from what you generally know which screen size developers in particular tend to prefer? I am leaning towards the 14", because I really like small form factors in general and I have always found my 15" a bit cumbersome to carry around/store, but I am not really sure if going an inch smaller might turn out to be an inconvenience workwise. From your video, I gather that if I haven't found the 15" model very portable, I am definitely going to find the 16" one even less so.
I honestly have no idea what developers need so I can’t answer that question for you. It sounds like the 14 inch is your best bet - if you don’t like carrying around the 15” you’ll hate the 16”. 14 is good enough, especially if you have to carry it around a lot.
@@lilafromyoutube I appreciate the input, thanks :)
What abt for college students do you think it’s to big and heavy for college students I’m thinking abt getting the 16 inch but I’m not sure
Hows the clarity of the HDMI?
Not sure what you’re asking but I’m using it with my external dell monitor and it all seems great
@@lilafromyoutube just curious if anything is blurry or not crisp in regards to icons, text etc.
Totally agree on the Airliners tray. I still have a 2020 Intel Air for that which is very comfortable on the tray. With my new MacBook Pro 16" it wont work, and that's why I haven't sold the air yet.
I mean, it's a very specific circumstance.. How often are people on planes and editing ect (yeah i know some fly more frequently than others) that it not fitting on a tray is a major hassle. For someone like myself, i'm always at home and when i'm not i'm usually near a decent sized table but on the off chance i'm not then i'm probably not on a device at that time anyway. 16" is an ideal size for me but i will say the max chip is pointless for my usage.
