Ageing TOO Well? | 16” M1 Max MacBook 2 Years Later | Long-Term Review
My M1 Max MacBook Pro 16” review & recap after 2 years, did it age too well?
Now that I’ve used the M1 Max MacBook Pro nearly every day for over 2 years, I do have some thoughts to share, how it's aged and how it compares to the current generation MacBook Pros and whether you should still get one more than 2 years after its initial release.

Ultimate One Monitor Setup - MacBook, Playstation and PC
Просмотров 20 тыс.8 месяцев назад
My new Desk Setup that I use for everything. It's the place where I work, game, stream and make my videos from. It includes a 16" MacBook Pro a PS4 Pro (PS5) and my custom built gaming/streaming PC. I've gone for an all black theme for this setup and I absolutely love its clean- & stealthiness. It's bound to get upgraded over time so if that's something you're interested in, make sure to stick ...

Unboxing and first impressions of the NEW iPhone 15 Pro in Blue Titanium after having spent 48h with it. It now comes with USB-C, an Action Button, and more. This is my new daily phone, but was it worth the upgrade? If you enjoyed today’s video, please drop a LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel, so you don't miss any future videos! Thanks for watching!

I bought the M2 Pro 16 inch and usually when I make big purchases I get extreme buyers remorse but this time around I have never been this happy after spending so much money on something lol. Apple killed it with the Silicon MacBooks period.
Can you please do a video on how you connected your Mac and PC to one monitor please 😊
I gotta be honest. I am a gamer at heart and I made the switch because, I wanted to just use my laptop as something other than a gaming device away from my desk. My gaming laptop was amazing and had all the power to play any game I wanted. I am getting older and realzied that I needed a chancge. The Macbook Pro M1 Max with 32gb of ram was my choice. I have now gotten into editing my gaming clips on my free time and even posted a few on social mdeia as my hobby. I love my 14' macbook rpo and I will be using this for years to come. Thank you for an amzing video and keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching and sharing your experiences!
@@alexgreyy Of course!
Hello, since it works with video editing, I would like your opinion on m1 max. I want it to edit music videos with a lot of EFX in 6k 422 10bit or I don't know if I should go for window with an i9 13900k rtx 4070 super
Why did you connect your Macbook to the display port of the monitor and not the USB-C port? Doesn't it's usb-c port support DP 1.4?
Because that's the only way I could get 120hz :)
football manager……truely helpful information.
2:23 OMG!!!!!! Why didn't I see this video 2 weeks ago! No matter how I search Amazon I could NOT find a KVM monitor with PIP/PBP. NOW THIS, and so simple I found it on Amazon! What I had to do was get a KVM switch, WHICH DOESN'T EVEN DO PIP/PBP, but a button to switch between 2 devices and share resources.
Sorry to hear that :/
Hi, I also want to buy 16 inch m1 pro, but not sure which one to pick.. The m1 pro or m1 max, I don't do extreme tasks and stuff But I still Want A powerful machine because I think It will last a long time so My question is .. How many hours do you get by using the m1 max by normal web browsing and having a lot of tabs open? and do you think m1 pro will have longer battery life? and if I have the more powerful m1 max will It last longer? and is the battery life better or worse because its powerful? thank you
I unfortunately have not used the "normal" M1 Pro chip, so I can't speak from personal experience. I have watched a lot of reviews over the years, though, so that is what I'm basing my answer on. If the only thing you really do is "web browsing" either of these chips are an utter waste of money. If you do the occasional edit (photo or video) and you'd want for it to be responsive, should you ever want to, I'd completely get that. Nonetheless, a MB Air model (no matter which one) might actually serve you best (unless you're a sucker for the 120hz displays, which, again, I'd completely understand). If you don't require your MB to do powerful tasks at all, but you still want a MB Pro, get the Pro chip. The Max would be a complete waste of money, even to this day. The battery life is bonkers. I can't give you exact numbers, because, as I said, this is my work horse and I never go a day without doing at least some work on it, which might impact the number you're looking for. It'd easily be a full day doing only mundane tasks, though.
@@alexgreyy I understand but Im not sure if the Macbook Air will last that much with me, since I am going to use it very very roughly as day passes and by web browsing I meant having like at least 20-25 tabs open and each of them maybe using like 200 Mb-1 Gb memory usage and also downloading hundreds of files, plus I don't want to change my laptop every year so that is why I was thinking if I the pro version is better, I also considered the Macbook pro 16 because its display is bigger and more thinner and 120 hz is not so important but it's a nice to have, so is the MB air still more suitable for me and can withstand the work I will put and have a long life?
How about m1 MacBook Air?
Never used one unfortunately, so I really can’t say much about it.
Ok I have a silly question - what do you use the key light for if your setup doesn't include a cam? or how to you set up streamng? Thanks :)
That’s not a silly question at all! I predominantly use my phone as my camera when sitting at my desk, which I also used to film this video. I clamp it onto the key light with a magic arm to get a nice angle. My iPhone 15 Pro has that good a camera that I sold my old mirrorless for it, as it didn’t get used very much ever since the iPhone 14 Pro came out, because of sheer convenience. I might get a better one in the future though, as I sometimes miss that authentic feeling, when shooting photo or video. For social media or general use where footage gets heavily compressed anyway it absolutely wouldn’t be necessary though. And on a side note, whenever I want to get a video shot of anything, I just prop it up on my desk and always have a soft diffused light that I can easily adjust the parameters of always ready to go, without having to move anything. :)
@@alexgreyy great, thank you for the explanation! Makes sense and yes, I guess and iPhone is perfectly fine for streaming, also very compact in the setup
@@felixvideoworkshop It really has been class and convenient!
Damn, same Monitor, Headset, Govee and Microphone, Great Choose 🎉
It’s class!
I have the same configuration. It’s a joy working in illustrator, photoshop and even after effects. One problem that keeps occurring though is when I attach a projector of an external display (not the apple ones) directly in the hdmi port. If I play fullscreen video the m1 crashes after 10 to 15 minutes. Seems a pretty common problem. Apple can’t seem to care to fix it. This means that I do my video for professional presentations with my iPhone! Pretty sad for such an expensive machine..
It really is great! I have to admit I never heard of that issue, then again, like I said, I never really used the HDMI port because of its 60hz cap. It really should be fixed, though!
Insane videoquality! Liked it Does the Mac has use marks from the dock stand?
Thanks, mate! There’s a thin, cushiony, felt covering on the inside of the dock to make sure that doesn’t happen!
One monitor is honestly enough for me
Same here!
Well edited. But mouth slightly away from mic. And i agree, i bought mine last year after the M2 came out and i've barely scratched the surface in terms of fully utilising its power. Its also stopped me justifying getting an iPad But not having to hear fans again has single handedly made it worth it. I'll probably only upgrade if there is a redesign with face ID, or i stop getting macOS updates
Totally agree!
A recommendation: Move the microphone away from your mouth a wee bit mate! Audio would sound a whole lot better and neater this way. Otherwise, great content. Cheers!
Ok, thanks mate! Always happy to get feedback! :)
Holy your production quality is absolutely amazing! I just saw that you only have 162 subs! well now 163 looking forward to more tech videos
Wow, thank you! That really means a lot!
If your are buying a max chip, I would to think you bought it with the intention of it being relevent after 2 years. Most people will be keeping their machine between 4 years minimum. I would go for the latest model unless someone is giving a deep discount on a used one.
I'm afraid I really don't agree. I know many people (many of them professionals) who upgrade(d) every 2 years or so because it used to make sense from a performance perspective and because their clients became more and more demanding (4K videos and files becoming much more widely accepted as the consumer standard compared to a few years ago for instance being one of the most notable reasons for that). Since the M1s however, the consumer tech landscape changed quite a bit and even though 8K cameras exist, they are not the standard and are hardly worth it for the average consumer or hobby creator. That being said, many clients nowadays want their footage in 8K because it gives them options. You won't find many who want more than that, though, which make the M1 chips still a viable option today when it comes to this use case (which ties a bit more into my area of expertise). 4 years from now, my M1 Max MacBook will still be handling the same tasks I throw at it now just as well, as long as I don't push it any further, which, I at least, don't need. My work doesn't even push the M1 Max to its limits 95% of the time, as I am fine with sticking to 4K editing for the most part and will be for the foreseeable future. And I firmly believe that that is the case for a very large amount of people. Especially if you consider the steep price difference between the M1 Max MB Pro and the latest M3 Max MB Pro, I really think it is a very compelling option going for the former, be that as a refurbished model or even on the second hand market!
how is your keyboard not shiny. i've been using my m3 pro for a month now and some keys are already showing shine.
I regularly clean it with a product called “iKlear”. It’s predominantly designed for screens but I discovered that it also removes grease which ultimately leads to shine from the keyboard and trackpad quite well!
@@alexgreyy looks like it's not available from where im from. thanks though. ill try looking something similar to it. 👍
@@ojan0896 Thank you for watching!
Doing a cleaning once a week will keep your keyboard away from shine.
Great video, the M1 isn’t the only one exceeding on quality in this video😉
Thanks for the support, mate!
It's still a fantastic machine. I've never got it to really break a sweat and I'm sure it will still serve me well in 5 years time for photo and video editing. I bit the bullet and got a Studio Display along - what an amazing display. Only one cable for signal, power, USB makes a very clean desk and gives 5 free ports in total.
Sounds marvellous to me!
Bro how many cycles do you have on your macbook ? it looks like you NEVER use it unplugged haha. My 16 m1 Pro has 83% of battery health after 2 years
I use it unplugged roughly 30% of the time, at least 2 days a week and it’s been class!
How much RAM does your MBP have? I have an M1 Max with 32 GB and occasionally do notice stuttering in FCP or need to sometimes close apps like Photoshop or Lightroom while editing video.
My MacBook does have 32GB as well. But I have to admit, that I’ve never noticed any micro stutters. Then again I seldom use any other application at the same time apart from my internet browser. Hope that clears some things up!
apple should hire you for their next product introduction narration videos. Jony Ive 2.0
That's a really big compliment, that is :) Thanks so much!
Same for my M1 Pro. Incredible hardware. I don't know how anyone could return to Windows laptops in their current state after trying out ARM-based Macbooks.
Don't think anyone in their right mind would!
hardware is great, software compatibility is disproportionately crap. I'll be using my M3pro for media consumption and emails...
Good quality video. Just interacting to feed the algorithm.
Cheers, mate. Thanks for watching!
I love your video editing skills and find your voice very soothing. Keep up the good work 🚀
Thank you so much!
How did you connect Macbook with Windows pc? I have a pc and macbook and planning to use external monitor. Are you getting 120hz ?
Windows and Mac aren’t connected to each other if that helps. They are just wired separately to the same monitor but to different ports. I connected my MacBook to the DP port via a USB-C to DP cable so I could get the full 120hz. My PC is connected via a HDMI 2.1 cable and I get the full hertz my PC is capable of there as well.
This needs more subs RUclips
Thanks so much mate :)
Perfect video for me, same setup without console and different pc specs but i get the monitor this week for this exact workflow .
It's class! Enjoy yourself mate
Your name caught me off guard lol
How so? :)
Where did you buy the monitorarm?
It just comes with the monitor! Just make sure to buy the "Arm" version. There's a link to it in the video description, actually. AE = Arm Edition.
So how did you connect the Mac, PlayStation, and PC to one monitor again? KVM switch? Software? But thanks for the desk explanation.
MacBook goes to the DP-port via a USB-C to DP cable. PS & PC both via HDMI cables to the respective HDMI 2.1 ports on the monitor. If I want to switch to any device, I just have to switch to that respective input on the monitor. Technically I could've also made use of the KVM switch for my peripherals but since they connect via Bluetooth they switch to whatever device I'm using at the moment flawlessly anyway. Hope that clears everything up for you!
Your channel and videos remind me of spawn point even to the way you speak. great video bro.
Wow, thanks :)
Very clean setup.. nice video as well.
Appreciate it mate!
What is the monitor arm? Video is dope, I've been looking for a solution to work with a macbook and at the same time have a gaming pc. Thanks!
It's the arm that comes with the monitor. Just make sure to buy the "Arm" version. Thanks for watching!
Great video mate, like you said you are just getting started. It’s on only forward from here. Would like to know how the table top is holding with the monitor clamp as it is not a wooden top is it better than the Ikea TT?
Actually had an Ikea tabletop before so I can really say that this one holds up very well in comparison (apart from scratching easier due to the colour) but it's pretty much the same material (some wood composite), just like the electronics side better on this desk :)
@@alexgreyy thanks for the reply, will look into it. Keep the awesome work.
What mouse pad is that?
A felt one a friend of mine made :)
What is the closest monitor to the M32U for a 27'''?
The M28U
What is the size of the desk?
160cm x 80cm (63" x 31.5")
Bro why not Samsung neo g7 and how is the ips glow in the g32u and how does it perform at dark room in back background content.
Well I'm not the biggest fan of the G7's design, nor was I looking for a monitor whose sole purpose would be to be gamed on. I wanted solid colours (so the G7's reviews were a no-go for me), a high enough refresh rate but since I'm not really an FPS type of game gamer everything over 144hz is basically useless to me, a nice design that doesn't scream "gamery" at first sight and preferably not spend a fortune on it. It's been great for me so far, no backlight bleeding and the colours are surprisingly rich. Not OLED level of course, but nice enough for an IPS display.
Nicely edited video, love the blue colour on iPhone 15 pro.
Thanks mate, so do I :)
Cmon now. I thought i was watching a channel with a 100k plus in subscribers. You are underrated my guy but keep it up
Haha, I hope it happens one day. Appreciate it!
Bro I love this monitor.
It's been really great so far :)
Nice edit🙂
Glad you like it ;)
Nice Video🙂
Thanks 😁
Wow. Great content! Excited to see you grow!
Thanks so much!
This Guy is so underrated, he has the same style as spawnpoint but only has 2 amazing quality videos on his channel, your going somewhere! Just remember me at 100k😂❤
I appreciate that so much thanks mate! I wouldn’t dare to say I’m even remotely close to the level @Spawnpoiint is at since he’s such an inspiration for me, but that really means a lot! Tell you what, should we ever get to 100k subs (which is quite a bit far fetched right now, but I of course would love for it to happen one day) I promise I’ll come back to this comment! ❤️
nice
Thanks mate
Nice video quality bro
Appreciate it mate
