my only gripe with all these reviews is that there is only the video editing perspective vs student life. I am doing a lot of computational work, statistics, and all the weird sciency stuff. Also, I travel a lot because work, conferences, teaching. How would these machines stack up. Other than that, I think you are in the top 5 % of all the reviewers on YT, mainly because it feels honest...
Appreciate the feedback. I’m a software dev and it handles my current work no problem, mainly because most of the stuff I deal with is in the cloud. The most intensive stuff is running a full app of micro services on docker (up to 8 services, elastic search, databases, front-end, etc.) but doesn’t match what some data scientist do. Would love to get a real world test for various industries.
My friend, get the M1 Pro 14” refurb for around 1500 or lower, this is the “I need to spend my student dollar wisely but want this thing to last” choice here
The 14” MBP dumps all over both generation Air and 13” MBP.
@@DayoAworunse do you know a macro you could use for free please? As in records keyboard inputs and can play back infinite times on Mac?
IT would help to specifically list your work flow vs generics or PM our host. You have a valid point still.
conferences is basically Zoom or if you mean in person using computational work in practice, modelling of statistics (DB work?) then indeed you'll need to elaborate on your setup, apps used, etc.
@@deepin2u It is mostly R, and RStan / Bayesian modeling and inference. that is the hardest part. then the usual crap: Markdown, word processing, and presentations. Conferences are via Zoom.
Great video! I appreciate you stating that the m1 pro is such a value. I feel other reviewers are stating that the m2 pro is so superior when 99 percent of people would love the m1 pro and save quite a bit of money in the process.
This is my new favorite TH-cam tech channel!! Your videos are great
I just picked up a 14 inch M1 for $1500 refurbished from apple, which in my opinion is the best deal available. I definitely probably would have been fine with an air 95% of the time as I am by no means a professional but after upgrading the SSD to 512 and the memory to 16, the price difference was negligible so I figured I might as well get the 14 inch m1 and enjoy the ports, screen, and power lol.
Did you consider getting the 2023 version? You get Wi-Fi 6E.
Also, just newer components, and who knows what little things they may have figured out manufacturing wise that make it better, and it’s not that much more expensive. If it’s something you’re gonna have for seven years.
@@chezchezchezchezthat’s an extra 500 dollars for someone who just said they could use an air…
Loved your review and love how upfront, candid and transparent you are. Truly refreshing! Thank you!
New sub, hehe. Like your review; no exaggeration, no clickbait, no gimmick. Simple and chill. Keep it up bruh! 👍
Excellent comparison video! First time I ever seen your videos. I definitely hit the subscribe button to view more of your videos.
Great video comparison and great HOST!! This is how a new product is explained and broken down without boring the public to death! Cheeers !!
Love your reviews... another subscriber!!! I currently have the MacBook Pro 13"late 2013... still going strong but its time for a change. Hopefully they have a refurbished 1 TB storage.
Haha! I enjoyed the "Just kidding, it's nobody," and the logo is a great touch. Really funny!
And useful advice and perspective. Thanks!
you've answered all of my questions and decided on the colour as well. thanks a lot! I just subbed!
Appreciate it so much!
There are some cases in which M1 pro 10 cores will be better than M2 pro 10 cores.
The reason for that is that the M1 pro has 8 performance and 2 efficiency cores.
M2 pro on the other hand has 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores.
There are some apps like Logic Pro that can only use the performance cores, so guess which one will be better there?
Not to mention that you can get it for cheaper and it will perform better!
I believe you helped me make my decision my friend. thank you for your intellectually in depth help.
Your welcome my friend
Excellent video you’re a real world analysis is very beneficial.
Appreciate it hman
I like your explanation, now I’m clear of what should I purchase now. After watching so many reviews. Thanks bro. ❤
Fantastic video- you’re super underrated!
Your videos are amazing! I got an M2 Pro and sold it. Now watching to discovery what to do! Thank you!
Why are you sold it??
I found you last month and subbed cause 'Nigerian' and your reviews has been great .... I hope somebody sponsors your videos soon🎉
As always Dayo ... giving a proper review how it SHOULD be done!
and properly identifying the M2 Pro MBP as a refresh not an entirely new machine ... just an update.
Thanks you compared all the aspects....in one vid as needed to the point... great video guy keep it up!!! btw can I get thumbnail wallpaper links
Great video! I love your humor 😉!
Thank you ,you Helpdesk me a lot bei the decision
I just received my M1 Pro max 16 refurbished with a bump in specs with the money I saved. I’m a long time user and expect to run this Mac for at least 5 years so the micro improvements don’t play into my decision making. Thanks for the confirmation to buy backwards.
I used the macbook pro 14 with m1 pro base chip in my agency for months. Really incredible. But with the m2 pro 14 base (10-core 512 GB SSD) I've been working with for a couple of weeks, it's even more amazing!. Faster rendering and export of videos 4k/6k and photos. Faster in everything I have to do. And the fans almost always silent!
Now that it's at lower prices, in my opinion it's better to focus on the m2 pro. You will not regret!
Good explanation 👍
Great Video, thanks.
Also interested what wallpaper/app that is for the animated wallpaper.

Awesome Review!! You deserve a sponsor!!
Keep it up boy! 💪
Even greater video👍
Hi Dayo,
Your videos are very informative with very honest review into it.
I'm using a 2013 Macbook Air with Intel 5(way older one) and wanted to upgrade to 14" M2 Pro MBP.
Please suggest me in buying M2 Pro MBP -> I'm worried about transfer speeds and confused to buy base model 512GB SSD.
I have watched the video, where you have tested the transfer speed after upgrading to 1 TB SSD on M2 Pro MBP.
Need to understand that you have just upgraded the SSD to 1 TB but NOT the other specs of CPU, GPU.
If 1 TB SSD is the only upgrade that have increased the transfer speed , I will be buying M2 Pro MBP.
Awaiting for your reply.
Anazing video, Simple and straight to the point.
Glad you found the video informative!
@@DayoAworunse I just bought the m1 pro 14 and... just as I was texting this the delivery man is here lol
Some product designs are ever so gently tweaked year to year, and retain a general similarity even over decades. This is one major reason why they become iconic. Examples are the Porsche 911, Thinkpad (specially the T and X series), and yes, the MacBook Pro.
Great video
I agree with you man.
Everyone who makes money with his laptop and has the budget for it, can easily take the m2 max 16 inches and save more working time .
But everyone else who needs a good laptop for the next 4-5 years should get the M1 Pro base model 14 inches or 16 inches and don’t go after the flashing Apple advertising .
Do you know that the base model m2 pro 14 inches costs 2400 € in Germany
And the base m2 Pro 16 Inches costs 2999 €
So the price jump is just to much for the improvements that you get ..
Thanks
Thanks Dayo for the intel. Which apps are you using for the wallpapers on those Macs? Just went from a 2012 MacBook Pro to the M2 Pro.
Your video helped me to take the right decision and to proceed to by the M1 thanks a lot
Where do you get your live wallpapers? I like your videos 👍🏽
new video! yay :)
Love the "real talk" breakdown. Subscribed today based on this video alone. Thank you for providing this. Own an "OG" as you call it MB 16" M1, and see NO reason to upgrade. It does everything I would do with my photo post-processing on my desktop I9 PC just as well, and in some cases notably better. The ONLY thing that bothers me about it is just how quickly my battery health indicator drops. (Which would be a concern for me in buying a USED M1, unless factory-refurbished with a NEW battery, if that's even an option.)
Thank you so much, this actually just gave me a new video idea on battery life
I like your reviews a lot. But what I like even more is your personality. If you increase your production value gradually in the next few years you could become the next MKBHD. Mark my words. 😊
All the best for you. Greetings from Germany.

THANK U
good work. greetings from Germany
good comment. greetings from USA
Great video! How can I make a video wallpaper like you did?
Just ordered a referbed M1 Pro from Apple. You're contributing to my peace of mind. Priceless. You'll have big sponsors soon. Great video!
You will be happy with that machine. It's a powerhouse
How do you still like it so far? What are the specs on yours and are there any issues so far?
@@Ben-ll3iy No issues. I've had laptops since the 90s. This is by far my favorite. I was editing television on my patio this week. For $1400, unless you need something crazy powerful, this is a no brainer, imo. 16gb ram, 512gb SSD. M1.
I like the design!!!PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE DESIGN!!!I also love Touch ID. I just wish that they will improve the cooling of the chip. My Mac book 14 2021 gets a little bit warmer while using zoom, or FaceTime :(.
where do you get your wallpaper?, really cool
Excellent review and analysis. I wise, I watched your video before jumping from my old 2020 MBP 13" 8GB 512 HDD with the touch bar compared to the New 2023 MBP M2 14" 1TB HDD 16GB Ram... I am not getting the same level of satisfaction and performance compared to the older system. I need to get rid of the M2.
I’m trying to decide between, MacBook Pro m1 pro chip 16ram 1tb vs MacBook Pro m2 24ram 1tb? Or is the 24ram overkill? I currently do audio production & I am starting to step into the graphic design space. Any help would be truly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Bought the base model M2 Pro 14 MacBook Pro back in April.
What a machine! Complements my 2020 27 iMac perfectly which is my desktop powerhouse and still a solid performer.
However, wow apple silicon is really a game changer.
Can’t imagine needing to upgrade this MacBook for 7 years minimum. Seriously!
Totally agree.
However, 4 months after this video, honestly, I don't know if in mid-2023 I would recommend buying a macbook pro with the m1 pro chip released a year and a half ago, even if they are perfectly identical. We're talking about people who want to upgrade from an Intel Mac or maybe a base macbook air m1. If I already have a macbook pro 14 with m1 pro chip, there is no doubt about switching to the equivalent with the new chip... It does not make sense!
In any case, 3d render and video editing performance has improved even in the base model (with 512GB slower SSD) and this is demonstrated by the export tests of the Zone of Tech channel (from 1.3 to 1.5 times faster). Connectivity, battery... few things, but now they can be found with a "new m2pro - used m1pro" difference of around €250-300. If I had to spend that much money, I would spend it on something new, rather than one that will be 3 years old in 2024.
thanks for clarifying 🎉 now i can purchase M1..i was totally confused. some time youtube creator confused us. thank you
which dynamic wallpaper software or app are you using? It looks really impressive!!

I am considering to get MacBook Pro to begin my journey learning video/photo editing and probably some basic programming/scripting. I do think that refurbished M1 Pro would be good choice in this case. The savings can be used to purchase Apple care, which will give me piece of mind for next few years to come.
Programming can take you far
@@DayoAworunse thanks for the video.
I’m on the same boat - being to do some video editing and programming. Currently so still a heavy user but tossing in between options such as 14 M1 Pro, 16RAM, 1TB SSD or 14 M2 pro base model? 🤔 found somewhere that are selling at the same price! M1 Pro is not even refurbish
I love your sarcasm!
Hi Bro,
I’m deciding to buy the first my MacBook. Comparison of M1 Pro 10 CPU/ 16 GPU, Ram 16 Gb, SSD 1 Tb and M2 Pro 14” base model (10 CPU/ 16 GPU, Ram 16 Gb, SSD 512 Gb. Which one do you prefer to work for video editing (4k 60 or 120 fps, color grading, noise reduction,…)?
I ask this question because the price is similar in my country and I cannot chose them.
Thanks a lot, it's the best comparison between M1 Vs M2 MacBook Pro 14'' that I've ever heard. Definitive I will go for the M1. Excellent Video Dayo, you have a high level of pedagogic skills, you could work as a teacher if you want.
Thanks man, I learned a new word today too. Pedagogic!
Here's a random question that doesn't seem to be addressed all that often: what's the difference in fan noise between the two? As a music pro, who often records in the same environment as the computer, extemporaneous noise can be a deciding factor here... Any feedback on this issue with multitrack recording?
For both the M1 and M2 the same applies: there is no fan noise like in the Intel days. The fans hardly ever kick in and when they do, they are not audible. These machines are ideal for music production.
Hey g I like that wallpaper on the left mac. Would it be possible for you to tell me where you got it?

Hey Dayo nice review, I'm a software dev student about to start university and l want a Macbook pro 16inch for 5-6 years, money isn't a big problem if am sure its going to be the best experience, am worry about the downgrade in speakers and the heating problems that some reviewers had said but l doubt it, what would you say?
Is there live wallpapers on the m1 and 2 14 and 16 inches?
I just bought the M1 pro 14" 2 weeks ago and I am enjoying it! The base model is already everything I need (I'm a University professor conducting hybrid classes). I had the 13" MBP but gave it to my partner (The 13" intel version was just so bad, especially with the fans and the new update kinda destroyed something in the T2 chip) but that was still good for teaching needs (my partner is a University professor too).
If I need the laptop also for graphics?
What wallpaper is the railway crossing. I want it
Can you please tell me your M1 pro 14" battery cycle and health? I think mine is draining very fast. Please reply.....
Hey can someone help me out
I have a macbook pro 13" early 2015 and recently Inhave been having thought of buying the new M2 pro 14" . My macbook pro 13" has been a good machine but now no software updates and weak battery life is making me consider to buy this macbook
My main requirements is
1) Good battery life
2) 120 hz display
3) longevity of the machine coz I'll be using this laptop for a long time
Basically I like my old macbook pro I just need the same machine with better battery life and good display should I opt for this macbook or go for something else
Hi Dayo, thanks very much for this video. It’s really good to hear what a real life perspective is instead of just a tech perspective. I also appreciate the wisdom and honesty of the fact that ultimately our wallets should help us make our decisions. It’s really not just about what we want but realistically, what we actually need. Thanks heaps for this clear presentation.
Where did you get the live wallpapers?
Micro center has Apple Refurbished sealed box M1 Pro 512GB at $1249 right now. Bought one and activated their credit card for 5% more off. Great machine at a super price! BTW, great video - you’ve got a nice delivery, so easy to follow.
hey how do you get those wallpapers? wallpaper engine ???

what is the ocean dynamic wallpaper? Can you give me a keyword?
I just picked up from my local pawn shop a M1 MacBook Air 256gb ssd for $379+tax and store warranty fee. So the final price was a little over $400.
Hey How to get live wallpaper on mac?
Good comparison 👍 Definitely for those who gonna be MacBooks owners for the first time….M1 Pro is better choice. But I wonder why Apple hid all brand new M1s right after the M2 was released and now only have refurbished units available. For instance , I want to buy a brand new M1 instead of a used M1…..I don't believe that with the release of the M2, all the brand new M1s suddenly ran out from the market. Can you explain this Apple policy a little bit more clearly?
Marketing policy where the brand can burn their own products at the cost of marketing their new products. Happens everytime in the pro max lineups of iphones
Bro, I love more your kitchen room space setup than this ❤️.
Even this space is also okay😊.
You are so humurous when say even now the sponsor is "nobody " 🤣.
My best wishes you will get a new sponsor one day soon 👌👌😊
I love my kitchen space too, this setup is a bit harder to pull off

Where do i get that shark wallpaper, absolutely stunning!!
actually how do i get it
excuse me sir, where can I get this shark wallpaper?
What wallpapers are those?

The webcam on the M2 Pro does look alot better IMO. Look at the difference in detail in your hair
For similar tasks, does the M2 Pro run hotter than the M1 Pro? Thanks Dayo for the excellent review here!
From watching other reviews, yes, M2 Pro runs slightly hotter than M1, but nothing to worry about, it doesn't thermal throttle in all the reviews i've seen.
When running tests, the m2 pro had the fans turn on where they were audible while the M1 Pro was pretty much silent. With higher core clocks and more wattage, the m2 pro runs hotter, but still acceptable in terms of heat due to the dual fans.
Mike the M2 Max 14 throttles.
bro low battery mode as u call is in the case if u need more battery in the situation :)
Thanks for this video, after watching this I've ordered the M1 pro 32gb ram 512 ssd 8cpu / 14gpu for 1800€ new here in Germany. Thanks bro, subscribe is there
Where did you find that deal? Here in Italy the M1 Pro 14 Is out of stock everywhere and has become actually more expensive than the M2 Pro
Subscribed, Liked & Shared!
Great ‘Real Talk’ on comparing the 2 ‘Beasts’! I own a MBP 16” M1 Max and I don’t think I am going to change to the M2Pro or Max. But once Apple swap to a 3nm M3, I will go for it!
By the way, I really like your ‘Passing Train’ dynamic Wallpaper. Would you mind sharing it with me, please?!
Thank you!

I keep hearing the ssd write speed is slower in the m2. Can anyone confirm that? I have an mbp m1 pro max. I don't plan to upgrade for years. I don't touch video. I'm in XCODE, VsCode and Ableton and Max/MSP. I don't see how an m2 could offer any significant performance in any of those applications.
are they good for 3d? blender etc
Hey, great video! I’d like to ask you re. my specific situation - I’m an English teacher living in Italy with quite a following on Instagram, so I’m thinking about setting up my own online business. I currently use my iPad Air 2022 model for literally everything (also online teaching 2/3 times a day max) and it does great, but I don’t think it will be able to handle what I’m planning to do in the future - design a course, a lot of video editing for Instagram and TH-cam, increased number of online lessons per day, etc. Would you recommend that I go for the M2 13 inch over a refurbished 14 inch M1? I would like the 14 inch M2, but it’s nearly €3k here in Italy and I don’t have that kind of cash .
Refurbished M14. It's a bit thicker, but if you are intending to run a business, I'd feel more comfortable recommending the Pro simply for its versatilely over the Air.
I want to switch to the 1TB M1Pro version from 512GB. But the Macbook Pro M1Pro 1TB is basically just as expensive as the M2Pro 1TB...
Is the headphone amp / DAC the same between the M1 / M2 14"? Anyone test this and know?
Bro where are you got this wallpaper with train?

I do have a question for you, i am considering switching to Mac, need battery life, i do photo edits so need storage and write a lot of articals. M2 macbook air 16Gb 512 or M2 macbook Pro 16gb 512gb?? Or should i upgrade to 1Tb ... need something for 5 years

is the speakers for 16inch m2 pro the same as the 14inch m2 one?
No. The 16 inch has more speakers that sound better with the additional bass
great video. love your work studio.
question, 14 inch or 16 inch? reason being is i have the 2016 15 inch macbook pro, and upgrading to the M2 is a bit of a headache. its go bigger or smaller.
note, this macbook i have is going strong anyways. But i just want the new tech in the house :)
how did you get those live wallpapers?

bro you should add better lighting setup and background music, anyway your videos is already awesome
Background music can be added potentially!
