Love the M3 MBP talking section at the end 😂😂😂
Maybe my favorite part.
Fav tech youtubet
My man!!! I have watched a dozen reviews on this subject and your presentation is the best! You boil down all of the relevant and technical information into a practical, real world and actionable series of recommendations. Keep up the great work.
like the format, like the direct, succinct summary at the start and very much appreciate the pragmatic approach and points. great review
The initial sponsor part is hilarious 😂 thank you for the video, it's helpful, as I was wondering which one to get.
I’ve literally just spent the last hour on Reddit and Quora to look for an answer to this very question - and then you drop this video at the perfect time!
Love your videos man, i don’t know another tech reviewer who makes content that’s so relevant to people deciding on a purchase. Keep it up!🙌🏽
Great video! I will be on the lookout for more of your content. 🤘
I think you are doing a great job at taking it down to earth for consumers (most youtube reviewers fligh high in the sound of their own voices)…
thanks for the comparisons!
Awesome! Thanks for the video.
Dayo, a very interesting and engaging video comparison. Subscribed after watching 6/8 other videos of yours.
Hey man just wanted to say you’re a really good reviewer. Looking forward to more review vids from you
I stumbled across this channel, exactly what i was looking for regarding a comparison. And your genuinely giggles - very funny brodolski
Your welcome
Love your content
I will subscribe your channel just because you leave bloopers in the end is funny 😂, anyway great job
thanks for ur sincere review
I don’t usually have any interest in whatever sponsors a video, but in this case I am so glad I got Nobody. It’s amazing I highly recommend it.
Killer vid! Appreciate this comparison as I make a new purchase. M2 Pro on the way!
Good video Dayo!
Loved this review! I bought the M3 MacBook Pro 2023 16GB Memory 1TB storage and it's such an upgrade! thanks for this review (Upgraded from a MacBook 2020 intel model 8GB memory) so definitely a huge difference!
This was really helpful. Thanks. Right now M3 new is on sale at Costco for $1399. M2 pro refurbished at Amazon for $1569.
lol love your humor and great review as always 🥰
Would be interesting to see the difference in audio production because the multithreading of virtual instruments and plug-ins works only on the high performance cores. Theoretically the M2 Pro should be able to play more tracks.
Very relevant info. And it seems like you actually care about the subject, rather than just creating content for us, or sounding like something you’re not. I’m gonna opt for the m3 MacBook Air with 16gb ram. It’ll be more than enough.
This is the 3rd video I watched to help me decide on which laptop would be better for me and yours is the only one that sounded more conclusive and helped me make a decision. Thank you for this!
Glad I could help
You should do M1 Pro vs M3
it is implied .. m1 pro is within 20% of m2 pro … just a bit less performance in more demanding tasks… basically m1 pro should, no longer be a consideration today, unless you have a great discount over m2 pro (my office machine is a m1 pro 32g, which will work great for the next 3 years, i would just not buy it today)
@@Alperic27next 6y*
@@Alperic27 you don’t think M1 Pro is good? It’s priced at $1399 used and at that price it’s a pretty good deal. Still better than anything else on the market. If someone doesn’t use demanding programs it’s pretty good.
@@Alperic27Many people say something else and would pick M1 Pro over M2 Pro
@@user-FTRU6GJI would get a brand new m2 pro for $1600
The screens are actually indentical too. You have for some time been able to increase maximum SDR brightness in third party software. All Apple have done is enabled that by default on the M3
That’s f’d up
Nice Video, Please compare the M3Pro vs M2 Pro. Thanks
Compelling conclusion at the end supporting the M3 over the M2 Pro. I had purchased a base M3 without really considering the M2 Pro until recently. I'm typing now on the M3 base and was strongly considering returning it and getting a refurbished M2 Pro, but I after your video, I have my answer now. I'm keeping the M3 base which was $150 less than the refurbished M2 Pro. However, I did have to spend that $150 difference in getting a DisplayLink Dock to support a second external monitor.
How are you liking your M3 since your purchase? I’m debating between M3 and M2 pro. After watching this video and reading your comment I’m leaning towards M3. I really like the idea of having a brand new unit vs refurbished.
I've ordered an M3 MacBook with 16gb of RAMs and I started regretting I didn't get the M2 Pro instead since the price was the same. After seeing this, I feel a bit better :).
WHY lol
I'm a fan of refurbished Macs so I have to agree. I have an M1 Pro MBP 14 (16GB/1TB) that I got in like new condition last July. Both of the MBPs you reviewed would beat it in the benchmarks but that's not something I would notice in day-to-day use.
I got the same exact computer the same month, eBay Certified Refurbished. Incredible laptop for a great price
@@Jdb63 Did you happen to get yours from doubledexmacbooks?
For me, the key difference is the loss of 50GB of memory bandwidth. The new MBP3 has 150GB/s memory bandwidth, whereas the MBP02 has 200GB/s. For everyday users who dabble in images and maybe some short videos, this plays into that decision over the additional 2k upcharge to see 300/400 GB speed in the Max. So if you have a MBP 02 or even M1 you may want to wait until the next intderation for basic users.
Danke!
Is it worth to upgrade the SSD from 1TB to 2GB? Or get an external drive?
M3 Pro with the best battery life? Likely due to being the only one with 6 efficiency cores
Please do a video on m2 pro vs m3 max. Is it worth the upgrade for creative users. Thx
Muy buena comparación, a pesar de todo el chip M2 pro sigue siendo bastante bueno, todo es encontrar la mejor opción y el mejor lugar donde comprarlo, excelente video 😊
i will say though i hated the speakers on these pros
i need software to eq it for clarity and now its much better. I couldnt hear them hardly at all without the extra software
Hi, is the 18gb ram enough or 36gb ram would be better. I am planning to buy m3pro. Could you suggest me pls. Thanks!!
M2 Max vs M3 prp? are they the same ?
Lmao 🤣 you’re so funny! Great review. I got the m3 pro.
You are so funny I love this video
H.264 and the likes are done by asic in this chip and he asic is the same for all currently existing M cpus, but max has two and ultra has 4
If you look at the A17 Pro in the iPhone 15 Pro, even with 3nm and the new redesign, the chip draws a lot of power making the efficiency not that much better or possibly even worse than the A16/A15, the M3 chip is based on the A17 Pro while the M2 Pro is based on the A15 from the iPhone 13 Pro. The M3 should have been a lot more efficient and shouldn’t have similar battery life to a higher power older chip (M2 Pro) while having similar size batteries!
i heard new base M3 macbook pro with 8gb RAM is not capable of handing 4k video editing, is it true?
i have the macbook pro m1. I just plan to use it until it breaks. These things are far too expensive to replace on a regular basis.
searching you in yt like - dude with sponsor Nobody 😁
I'm on a 2018 macbook pro, and I'm waiting for an M1 macbook model to be cheap, or a mac mini/studio to become cheaper (with 16 GB of ram)
your display turning off was actually a good thing. Your notes on there were easier to see.
I would love to see a comparison between the 16gb M3 and the M2 pro. I ended up getting the M3 16gb for the same price as the M2 pro refurb
1:28 doing that and hoping it will land on the couch is WILD
In my country, mbp m3 is cheaper than mbp m2 pro around $500. Thx for the review
I would LOVE to know how the base M3 does against the M1 air. I'm rocking the air now, and keep waffling back and forth about upgrading to the M3 for video editing.
It kills the M1 Air, especially if you put 16gb of Ram on the M3
what about against 16gb ram on M1 Air?@@jackdominiak445
Nobody 😂 - Love that 🎉 ❤
Still think it's not a fair test. Only 8 GB's of ram on the M3. However, pple claims that the M3 uses ram better. What if the M3 had 16 GB's of ram?
Man your reviews are so good but do you think if I got 16gb ram with the m3 would be it faster than the m2 pro base model because rn you can get m3 refurbished with 16gb ram for 1,530 dollars
M2 pro would be better
@@DayoAworunse You are the only RUclipsr to answer my question! Thanks!
@@ST14_109 for the same price I'd get the M2 pro, because the extra ports and ability to look up more monitors to it.
@@DayoAworunse The m2 pro is like 70 dollars more but it’s worth it since it has twice the memory bandwidth at 200 which is important since I am doing video editing. Anyways thanks for your help it really helped me make my decision.
M2 pro all the way, m3 not good.
Do you think the m3 pro is worth the 400 dollar difference from the m2 pro?
Quick question: should I get the M3 model (16gb) or the M2. Both 14”. The M3 is 50 bucks cheaper.
I notice your benchmarks for that on the 8gb were slightly worse than the M2.
Which one would you get?
wow, exactly what I want to figure out...
the only thing whats make and M3 better is not even mentioned in this vid so yes in this case no diferents but trie to do some 3D work on it and u will see huge diferent
Please could you do a music production benchmark in Logic Pro / Ableton Live between the two devices? I've seen some users post a test involving Serum / Diva.
Uhm should it not be compared to 13 inch m2???
what wallpaper do you use in m2 pro?
Dynamic Wallpaper
finally someone who gets it! I've seen soooo many tech youtubers talk themselves in knots about the base m3 (and the 13" pro) on the mystery of "who is this foooor?" when it's obviously for targeted at businesses- oh I'm sure apple doesn't mind others buying it too, of course.
Yeah the m3 offers more than windows laptops that businesses buy in bulk at the same if not cheaper. Buying in bulk I'm sure they get some discount maybe like 3-5%, but that's still something
@@DayoAworunse yep, and the base specs are fine for most office tasks- 8 gb ram is enough to run slack, browser and some work app.
You're so remind me Chadwic Boseman, wouldn't you like to play the black panthera? I think you would play very well😊
Hollywood would never hire me. Maybe Nollywood
@@DayoAworunse i don't think so, you need to try😃
The M2 Pro sounds better it’s fuller sound based on your side by side.
14 inch MBP M3 Pro vs. Refurbished 16 inch MBP M2 Pro
I have hard time to decide between brand new MacBook Pro M3 Pro 14 inch with 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD or Refurbished MacBook Pro M2 Pro 16 inch with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD.
Currently I am using MacBook Pro 16 inch late 2019 on Intel i9 with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. So, I don’t have any issue with portability at all.
The indecisive comes from the M2 Pro vs M3 chip and RAM difference between those 2 machines (36GB RAM on M3 Pro vs 32GB RAM on M2 Pro)
Which one do you think has better value and better investment protection between brand new MacBook Pro M3 Pro 14 inch with 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD and Refurbished MacBook Pro M2 Pro 16 inch with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD? I am not video editor or digital content creator or any graphic intensive users here.
Any valuable input is welcome. Thank you.🙏🏼
As a almost 4 year long M1 Air user I cannot fathom having more power
me either powerwise. But I really would like the new design and the upgraded display and speakers
That's because you need to actually use the MacBook devices for the tasks that are intended from the target audience. That includes intensive graphical/3D work, video and image editing, and rendering tasks. You'll notice that most of the MacBook's upgrade is not linked whatsoever to what generation of the M-series chip you have but rather stuff like memory bandwidth and the number of performance and efficiency cores in the CPU and GPU. If all you do is web browsing, office work, or media consumption, you can manage with a low end processors and that extra power won't do anything.
@@adequatequality yeah I'm a normie. I wouldn't use all that power
I think I’ll get the M2 Pro 14 inch ..
So for a non pro consumer we should buy a m2 pro even if we will never tax a lower version? Sounds wasteful.😢
I still think m1 air for 65%, then m2 air for 10%, then m3 base for 10%, then m2 pro for 10%, then m3 pro for 4% then m1/2/3 max for the remaining 1% who actually see real world slowdowns without the GPUs.
This is very true. M1 is great for a lot of people and will be in a future video in my holistic buying guide. This is more for people shopping in the same price point between which one they should get of a used m2 pro or m3.
Dude, I'm wondering which one is better : 16gb M3 or M2 pro (512GB)... Since the price in my country is identical ....
Does the M2 Pro have 16GB of RAM?
@@DayoAworunse Yep, it is just the same one in your video; M2 Pro MacBook Pro
lol, finally bought M3PRO
Please what’s that stupid notch still doing there on the screens?
Dayo is giving me Chadwick Boseman vibes.
In Canada I can buy a new M2 Pro 2300 or Apple refurbished 2179 or a new M3 base with 16G for 2194 Which should I choose?
our sponsor, ✨nobody✨ XD ded
Xd
M1 PRO. The end
The only RUclipsr that understands that Apple is also targeting businesses!!!
For me there is only 200 dollar difference
M3 looks lighter in your hands
Apple has created an interesting problem for itself. M3 laptops are great. But various new and refurbished M2 laptops are tremendous values that will last a long time and get updates. There is something for anyone who wants a MacBook. If you are on a tight budget, I would even say look for the best M1 or M2 machine in your preferred price range.
That's because you haven't used an M3, I've used an M1 13" MBP and it's night and day, the only thing I would recommend is upgrade to 16gb RAM on the M3 it really unlocks the performance in everything
@@jackdominiak445 Different users have different needs. There's no "one size fits all" solution .
This is the wrong comparison
This video is misleading in your speech. Pick an argument and tell us “why”. It’s become common to flip back and forth to satisfy a greater audience. However, consumers are looking for concrete evidence when spending 1K plus. I get it, we all have opinions. I agree with “misleading”comment.
If you have the opportunity to buy the used m2 pro get it, otherwise than m3. It's stated at the end
Load of rubbish, the M2 Pro has 16gb of Ram against 8gb
With Equal RAM the M3 beats the M2 Pro in every category, as you well know it, so you're misleading people for clicks 😡
I'm not misleading, because a base M3 doesn't have 16gb of ram
its base is 8gb
Perfect comparison since the price point is very similar. Several other RUclipsrs did the exact same comparison.
