I have owned the M1 MacBook Air since its release. Before buying I watched as many videos as I could between the Air and Pro. What helped the most in my decision were of course videos, but videos that spoke more to an average consumer like myself and that are easy to understand without big numbers and jargon. Thank you for making your tech videos so accessible, down to earth and enjoyable
Pro max fast / m1 - Could you post some details about how well the 14" MBP runs Bioshock Infinite? That's one of my favourite ever games and I play it on my 13" 16GB MBP in Parallels and get about 30-40fps on medium settings at 1400x900, but I'd like to know how far you can crank up the detail and resolution on the 14" MBP with 16 GPU cores in Parallels?
Did anyone experience the earthing issue it seems no one is talking about it on their reviews which seems like a pretty common issue with 2-pin duck head.
Spend 4.2k AUD on it this week once I learned the m2s are delayed, was waiting around for those actually. All I did was upgrade ram to 32 and 1Tb, also got the 10bit cpu

M1 MacBook Air is undoubtedly apples best laptop hands down, for the average user such as myself. In fact if you look at the specs, the difference between the 13 inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro is negligible. Touch Bar, fans, and… that’s it. In terms of performance, because of the M1 chip they perform fairly equal. Save yourself some money with the M1 MacBook Air 💻
the 13 inch appears thinner because it has a tapered edge. measured from the centre (its thickest point), it is ever so slightly thicker than the 14’. i know, it doesn’t change the fact that from the edge the 14’ is thicker
I love the larger size. I’ve always felt compelled to use a protective case with my last few MacBooks that were so thin but with this one I love just having the thicker chassis
I agree with you, this 14 is perfect. I traded in my 2020 13 inch and got $800 for it. such an amazing machine plus you can still charge the laptop with a USB C in any of the ports. No issues for the notch for me yet. Winning.
I can’t believe you used to have to crawl under your desk every time you wanted to import footage from your camera! Congrats on this great review AND the cinematographic intro! Love the editing at 3:20 and throughout the video. I’m amazed to call the pro max fast!
Finally, someone who loves this laptop but can still admit that the new design is simply worse than the old models. I’m tired of people pretending like it’s better, especially since it would get seriously trashed if it was from any other company. Nonetheless, can’t wait to upgrade to this beast!
@@shadowspade7589 I don't like the radius of the curve for the new model and its thickness and the black paint in the keyboard area that I don't find necessary. It looks like a product of some others brands trying to copy Apple brands.
I actually like how it looks. I have the 13 inch, thinner MacBook Pro… and the form factor is sleek, but I came into the MacBook game with the black MacBook (years ago) and it has a similar look, albeit thinner. For me, it adds a bit of sentimental value to my purchase. It’s like coming full circle. I also join with others opinion on not being able to get it all and having it be a little bit more bulky in order to get speed and ports is a really good trade off. Great video!
@@AndrewEthanZeng I also think the design is uglier than previous models. It’s clear Jonny Ive is not influencing product design anymore. But It’s a good trade off for the sake of better performance.
I always bought every Apple product in the pro model and once the M1 came out I switched to Air and the best move saved a lot of money . The pro is for heavy users not the normal user .
We can't demand portability, power and looks at the same time. because it's like one or the other. If gets thinner body the thermals will be fucked up. If try to make it look good the ports are taken out. If we want more power outta the CPU or GPU the battery gets downsized. So form my point of view the Apple 14" M1 pro is the sweet spot along with the 16 gigs RAM and 1TB SSD and the 14 core GPU.
Good video man. One thing: Face ID can't be added in a future update because it requires special hardware, which these new MacBooks don't have. The notch only has a camera. Just thought I'd let you know.
@@AndrewEthanZeng I would absolutely love a MacBook Pro with Face ID. Like you said, hopefully we'll see it in the next generation. Maybe 2 years from now?
The reason why you see a more dramatic difference in width is because you were comparing edges. The 13” MacBook Pro has a convex shape, making it thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, meanwhile the new 14” is flat all the way across
I constantly used PC Laptops until october when my sister got the 13 inch macbook m1... now I got the 14' M1 pro and it's freaking amazing. Also with parallels I didn't lose any software from windows and I can even play PC games (which positively surprised me). Totally recommended.
I thought long about it and you convinced me to get one 😊 I just ordered the 14“ M1 Pro 10c 16GB 1TB SSD in silver. I am used to work on a 15“-16“ model, but I chose the 14“ because of mobility reasons and I hope it doesn’t feel too small for me!
I finally saw in person yesterday when i went to the apple store to get my airpods fixed and i fell in love with it. Definitely gonna trade in my 2019 intel 13 inch macbook pro for the base model 14 inch hopefully next year.
I got my 14” M1 on sale when the M2 came out. I love this laptop and like Apple put functionality before form factor. The trade offs make it worth it. The laptop is stunning and I love the black inset of the keyboard. Can’t wait to see what Apple does with this new chip.
Waiting for the ultra long term "is it still worth it" review after 2 months! 🤣 Loved the many different camera angles and settings, almost like an at-home experience. The MacBook Pro 2021 has not arrived yet near my place (Vietnam) so looking forward to seeing it in RL!
Coming soon! 😂 Given the cost to acquire such a device, a monthly review might be helpful. I'll see if I can shoot a 1 year Ultra, Pro, Max long term user review 🤓😅
I wish the Macbook Pro remained thinner. I think by making it thicker, Apple has compromised its portability quite a lot especially in the case of the 14 inches model. I have a 13 inch 2012 model and a 15 inch 2015 model. This new 14-inch model is more like the 13 inches 2012 model in terms of weight and thickness (two of the biggest downside of the 2012 model in an era when ultrabooks were getting borned).
I love mine it works very well!! I have had no problems it runs Remote Desktop very well with no lag, and does video editing very well. I am very happy with my decision to buy one!!
That cheeky apple upsell call out haha. 🔥 Good review hre. I've watched a lot of reviews and you're the few ones who took time to explain how m1 chip is built different. Question: Do you think the 10 core was too powerful for your workload? I'm also a digital marketer / business owner and i'm thinking if I should just settle with the 8 core since I'm not really handing 4k video footage but I may be editing Prores footages soon.
Thanks Jarmaine! If you'll edit Prores footage, or 4K in the future, invest in the 10 core. Either way, it's a great laptop for business owners that don't like being bottlenecked by tech.
I would think that the GPU count affects video edits more so than CPU count. Not forgetting whichever option u choose comes with the ProRes encoder/decoder that speeds things up.
Does everyone forget the fact that many people switch from often 15,4" notebooks? I personally tried one day a 14" notebook with FullHD screen as replacement for my aged 2010 MacBook Pro 15" matte screen as a test if the 14" model would be enough. As much i like the portability of 14" machines... they are still somewhat "big", especially the new 2021 MacBook Pros but for good reasons like huge battery and so. I could not really switch from 15,4 to 14", so i dediced for the 16" 2021, and DAAAAMN what a good choice, its as big as my 2010 MBP (only thinner) but a definately larger screen and i LOVE IT. Especially the ridicilous battery runtime will be proven at my first nights doing astrophotography where i need the Mac for autoguiding, target list/queue and controlling everything on the scope.
Also, a huge NoGo for the 13" was the size... damn it only "looks" slim, but is as thick as the 14" Pro. Also the annoying thick bezels, not ok at a 1000$ computer in 2020+
Pro Max Fast! Mine arrives on Tuesday, as my 2013 MBP has been hanging on by a thread. Personally, I like the look, and the return of the ports and all the other good stuff (no/low fan noise? awesome!) makes for a real quality of life upgrade. Great review, thanks!
I'm waiting for my 16" 2021 MacBook Pro with 2TB SSD storage and 64GB unified memory. Perhaps a little more than I really need for my use cases in video and audio editing, and general business stuff, but I have to admit, I'm excited about getting it next month, and I look forward to using it for many years to come. I'm upgrading from a 2018 MacBook Pro that I really haven't enjoyed, particularly the keyboard. The points you brought up in the video were things I noticed immediately when playing with the 2021 MacBook Pro in the store. By the way, nicely done video. Keep up the great work!
Nothing is ever too much with tech, I guess. These devices can never be future-proofed as there is always something "extra", so you're good. Appreciate the support!
I am waiting for my 16" 2022 MBP with the same specifications. I believe that it is better to have more, if you can afford it, and not use it, then not have enough and regret it. The butterfly keyboard on my 2016 MBP 15" on an otherwise very good laptop is driving me crazy.
I’ve been working off an old 2014 13” MacBook Pro. So I’m way out of date but it’s been just a daily use laptop. However I do work from home now and will be getting more into creative work. So I’m finally considering doing a big upgrade and paying for high end model as obviously I keep for a long time
First off, "Pro max fast" lol!!! I've owned Mac laptops since 2006, but I just upgraded from the 12" MacBook a month ago and this is the first laptop that has replaced my PC desktop. I even had to buy a trackpad to use it with mouse and keyboard on a desk! I bought the mid-grade 14"(waited the extra month) and upgraded to 32gb as my old 12" had 16gb and I was scraping the ceiling sometimes. I run Windows 11 in Parallels along side MacOS for work and I have to say the experience us lovely. Keep making these videos, I like your content! Subscribed.
Could you share your opinion on weight and portability? I have a 2017 MBP that I use constantly and I carry it in my backpack. Is this M1 Pro much heavier?
I'm looking to upgrade my iMac 27" i7 with 12GB RAM. Been looking at the 14 inch MacBook Pro for $2,000 as my Christmas gift. Can't think of any other computer that I want, I originally wanted an iMac 27" but I don't like the new 24" Colored ones so that's out. And the 16 Inch is too expensive for me. $2,000 seems like a perfect price for me and this laptop should last me another 5 years.
Pro Max Fast! I’m still holding out for M2 just to see if I can save extra cash on this, but I expect it to last a decade just like my mid 2012 Retina MBP, either way
Not good for programmers that work on projects that are based on .net frameworks that are older than .net6. These frameworks are not designed to be able to run on arm64 architecture. And even though you can get around it by using Parallels most of the time nothing runs smoothly and it adds an extra cost for the Parallels subscription. Unfortunately .net6 is very new and most programmers work mostly on projects that are based on those older frameworks.
I would say my favourite Apple product is the iPad. I love digital drawing and it’s the perfect size for me to draw on as I find the phone too small. Lovely video btw. Keep it up!
M1 Pro / Pro max fast My favorite Apple product is definitely the iPad Pro since it has helped me declutter my college backpack and workspace! The new MacBook Pro would not be that bad either to help with faster development and productivity, though! Haha Thanks for this video!
I often wonder if MacBook pros had the build quality and look of a basic plastic laptop in Walmart would people still rave and over pay for them. In reality the shell of a MacBook Pro can be purchased for $100. Therefore put the premium look and feel aside would we still pay 3k for them because even though their well built the materials are not even worth that much so what are we paying for. Beauty is a performance bottle neck and also a value bottle neck. That said I still love my new 16” MacBook. Thanks for the video great stuff.
Hello, If you work with your laptop all day long, every day... what do you think will happen to the battery ? Are you using the battery or is it plugged in all the time? What do you recommend? 🤔
The 13” M1’s have the tapper style seen for many years since I believe 2011 macbook pro and air’s. It is a deliberate optical illusion, all the edges taiper down to the sides to creat this illusion, it’s in the very middle where it is the thickest, these type of edges give the illusion it’s thinner than it actually is. Where as it’s painfully obvious with the new squared design.
thanks for your video and the comparisons to the 13" which I am also coming from. Undecided on my purchase yet as I haven't tried to edit any videos yet, I do appreciate the bigger screen louder speakers and ports but is it worth the price difference??
Great review! Also love the nato strap! Where is it from??? I have been trying to find similar strap. It reminds me of the blancpain FF bathyscape nato.
I have 13 pro but I’m thinking about changing it with 14 pro but still confused. I’ll be using it for programming. What do you advise? I might connect external monitor. But the charger on 13 is on the left and has no hdmi
Great one! I was wondering if there is much ghosting/halo effect when coding in dark mode with a black background and white text due to the mini LED back lighting.
I switched to Mac about a year ago and it’s 10 times better than any windows laptop the problem is how to get a laptop for my wife that doesn’t like Mac?🤷♂️ everything else out there seems like a crap compared to it.
Guess you've missed the important fact that even if it is a ProMotion miniLED screen with up to 120Hz, it has really weak G2G etc. thus smudges/ghosting is more evident than on most of its competitors sporting 60-100Hz screens, let alone those high quality high refresh rate gaming devices. That's pretty bad if you've already grown accustomed to no ghosting screens. Sure this thing cobines many great features into one with limited number of compromises such as this, but in my eyes this prohibits the thing be called the best. The 500nit SDR screen, where you're going to spend a lot of time, is similarly bright as those better PC laptops. Guess Apple had to leave a lot wiggle room for improvements in future realeases ;)
I just ordered the 8 core 14" pro and I'm a music producer/student but I'm a little nervous that it won't perform as well as I need it to for my music? I hope I'm just being paranoid. It will be my first Apple product ever.
Hello Andrew. Thank you for this review. I’m on the way to purchase my first ever laptop, I’m going to study photography and I’ve already purchased Adobe creative cloud. Should I buy the 14.2 M1 Pro or is it enough with the M1 Air both with 16GB RAM?
Why do people thinking using a laptop for one month is remotely considered long term? The laptop is still very much brand new and running perfectly even after one year.
The M1 air with 16gb ram and 512 gb ssd costs me around 1500 Euros, the M2 Air with the same config costs almost 2000 Euros just the same as the 14 M1 pro. I have started video editing as a hobby and currently use my desktop pc (R5 5600x, 3080, 32gb ram) for that but I want something as well for the go since I am often on the go. Which model would you recommend me? I want to keep the device at least for 5 yrs.
You're comparing the old laptop to the new one at the edge. The old version has a taper to it, so it is thicker at the center, and this is presumably where Apple is doing its measurements--i.e., at the thickest point. That is why the numbers aren't adding up for you

Casually watching this after I’ve ordered it to justify the $2000 spending
😂
Spend 4.2k AUD on it this week once I learned the m2s are delayed, was waiting around for those actually.
All I did was upgrade ram to 32 and 1Tb, also got the 10bit cpu
I got one Two days ago for $1700 taxes included on Best Buy it was on sale 😅I save $400 bucks so far so good
Same , skimming past any videos that seem to imply anything negative about my choice 😆

I switched over to the Macverse when I was FORCED to at my new job and I have zero regrets. So my fav Apple Products are now MacBooks too :)
Noted on the FORCED. Not everyone's cup of tea, but we can't deny MacBooks are a beast.
Also Apple TV for me. Even if you have a smart tv, who doesn’t. You dont know you need it until you get it

Highly recommend the 16 if weight doesn’t bother you. I love the amount of screen I get with this thing, and it still fits in my backpack!
I shifted from a 16' to the 14' and this laptop looks tiny to my eyes. Makes me want to go back to the Intel chip regardless, 16' is comfortable.
I've ordered mine and expect it next month. I am hoping weight isn't a problem and, if it is, too bad.

No truer words are spoken. 👍 And even if we get all those you mentioned, it will definitely raise the price even more, so yeah.
I kinda like the new design, but that view might be influenced by the additional ports that are very, very helpful to me.
I love this design. And this spec is a sweet spot. I don’t think the design is ‘rough’. It’s perfect.

Me, my PS, LR and DaVinci are sooooo looking forward to this thing
just ordered this same version! BTW Killer shots of your Tudor Black Bay :)
I’ve been working off an old 2014 13” MacBook Pro. So I’m way out of date but it’s been just a daily use laptop. However I do work from home now and will be getting more into creative work. So I’m finally considering doing a big upgrade and paying for high end model as obviously I keep for a long time
The MacBooks really are getting way too good 🥵 Great review!
They are and they better be! 🍎 Appreciate the support.
First off, "Pro max fast" lol!!! I've owned Mac laptops since 2006, but I just upgraded from the 12" MacBook a month ago and this is the first laptop that has replaced my PC desktop. I even had to buy a trackpad to use it with mouse and keyboard on a desk! I bought the mid-grade 14"(waited the extra month) and upgraded to 32gb as my old 12" had 16gb and I was scraping the ceiling sometimes. I run Windows 11 in Parallels along side MacOS for work and I have to say the experience us lovely.
Keep making these videos, I like your content! Subscribed.
Great to hear it's working well for you! Thanks for the sub 🥳
Apple managed to build such a good chip in house first time due to them working for a few years with arm to design their new chip :)
Hey Andrew,
Why Would you chose MacBook Pro 14 in Space Gray Over Silver...?
I am very confused about both colours. Please Suggest me Brother...
Could you share your opinion on weight and portability? I have a 2017 MBP that I use constantly and I carry it in my backpack. Is this M1 Pro much heavier?
I'm looking to upgrade my iMac 27" i7 with 12GB RAM. Been looking at the 14 inch MacBook Pro for $2,000 as my Christmas gift. Can't think of any other computer that I want, I originally wanted an iMac 27" but I don't like the new 24" Colored ones so that's out. And the 16 Inch is too expensive for me. $2,000 seems like a perfect price for me and this laptop should last me another 5 years.
Depending on what you will use it for, you can really get your ROI if you use it for 5 years.
Pro Max Fast! I’m still holding out for M2 just to see if I can save extra cash on this, but I expect it to last a decade just like my mid 2012 Retina MBP, either way
I don't think they are ugly at all. I love the way they look.
Great music choices! You really know how to score fr!
hey its a great buy in 2023 ....I just got one brand new for 1679 GBP .. best Mac I've ever had 😎
Pro max fast! This laptop is definitely on another level and I’m eager to get even more out of it as time moves forward
Make sure to "MAX" it out! 👍🔥
Not good for programmers that work on projects that are based on .net frameworks that are older than .net6. These frameworks are not designed to be able to run on arm64 architecture. And even though you can get around it by using Parallels most of the time nothing runs smoothly and it adds an extra cost for the Parallels subscription. Unfortunately .net6 is very new and most programmers work mostly on projects that are based on those older frameworks.
Anyone knows how to install SAP gui 7.7 in Macbook M1 pro ? Any leads please . I am looking for a step by step video on this .
Great review - likely the best I have seen on this MacBook 14”. Good work 🤗
you do know, thickness does not equal to height right? so yea, it is just visually taller because the rubber feet prompts it up higher.
I would say my favourite Apple product is the iPad. I love digital drawing and it’s the perfect size for me to draw on as I find the phone too small. Lovely video btw. Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing!
i love the chunky build
Hi. Would you pls share which game you were playing while showing a demo in this video / 4.30 frame ???
Thanks for this video! I love your honesty regarding this MacBook 🙌🏻
M1 Pro / Pro max fast
My favorite Apple product is definitely the iPad Pro since it has helped me declutter my college backpack and workspace! The new MacBook Pro would not be that bad either to help with faster development and productivity, though! Haha
Thanks for this video!
I often wonder if MacBook pros had the build quality and look of a basic plastic laptop in Walmart would people still rave and over pay for them. In reality the shell of a MacBook Pro can be purchased for $100. Therefore put the premium look and feel aside would we still pay 3k for them because even though their well built the materials are not even worth that much so what are we paying for. Beauty is a performance bottle neck and also a value bottle neck. That said I still love my new 16” MacBook. Thanks for the video great stuff.
Awesome review, thanks! Which desk pad do you have? I love it.
Thanks for this great review, Andrew!
I would STILL use the very same dongle (for USB 2)... 🙄
Nice job. I am considering buying one. Thanks for keeping it simple for a baby boomer with very little tick knowledge.
Hello,
If you work with your laptop all day long, every day... what do you think will happen to the battery ? Are you using the battery or is it plugged in all the time? What do you recommend?
🤔
The 13” M1’s have the tapper style seen for many years since I believe 2011 macbook pro and air’s. It is a deliberate optical illusion, all the edges taiper down to the sides to creat this illusion, it’s in the very middle where it is the thickest, these type of edges give the illusion it’s thinner than it actually is. Where as it’s painfully obvious with the new squared design.
Pro max fast. Wish I had this laptop but now going to watch your 1 year review for the first M1
Just to specify, the notch houses no sensor at all, only the 1080p webcam.
thanks for your video and the comparisons to the 13" which I am also coming from. Undecided on my purchase yet as I haven't tried to edit any videos yet, I do appreciate the bigger screen louder speakers and ports but is it worth the price difference??
Pro Max Fast!! I want to ask you a question though do you think there is a better laptop than the MacBook Pro 14 inch? In value of course.
The 13" M1 if you can snag one on discount.
@@AndrewEthanZeng air or pro?
Andrew, thoughts on using an iPad Pro as part of a daily workflow if for a little bit more you can get an 13 inch M1?
I'd personally buy an M1 Air tbh
Great video! Thanks for sharing - looks like this would be amazing upgrade for our creative studio! Pro Max Fast BTW 😀
Totally! Thanks for watching!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
great review!! thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I subscribed 😊👍
Thank you!
For viewing regular non HDR content, for instance coding, is there a meaningful difference between the displays of the Air and the Pro? Thanks
Great review! Also love the nato strap! Where is it from??? I have been trying to find similar strap. It reminds me of the blancpain FF bathyscape nato.
I have 13 pro but I’m thinking about changing it with 14 pro but still confused. I’ll be using it for programming. What do you advise? I might connect external monitor. But the charger on 13 is on the left and has no hdmi
Great one! I was wondering if there is much ghosting/halo effect when coding in dark mode with a black background and white text due to the mini LED back lighting.
I switched to Mac about a year ago and it’s 10 times better than any windows laptop the problem is how to get a laptop for my wife that doesn’t like Mac?🤷♂️ everything else out there seems like a crap compared to it.
Good to see a long term review, I’m about convinced I need to cop now.
P.S. Fire intro + soundtrack! 🔥❤️🔥
Appreciate it!!
Guess you've missed the important fact that even if it is a ProMotion miniLED screen with up to 120Hz, it has really weak G2G etc. thus smudges/ghosting is more evident than on most of its competitors sporting 60-100Hz screens, let alone those high quality high refresh rate gaming devices. That's pretty bad if you've already grown accustomed to no ghosting screens. Sure this thing cobines many great features into one with limited number of compromises such as this, but in my eyes this prohibits the thing be called the best. The 500nit SDR screen, where you're going to spend a lot of time, is similarly bright as those better PC laptops. Guess Apple had to leave a lot wiggle room for improvements in future realeases ;)
I agree. Let's hope Apple gets it right in future releases. 🤞
Pro max fast. Planning on buying at the end of the month, specifically, the base model.
One of best laptops ever made for video editing. Pro max fast
Great review. Super informative
Exact same model as mine and I love it!
can be used for a long time to come, I hear this everyyear 😂👌🏼anyways comment for the good b roll intro!
Haha! You never know with tech😆 Glad you like the intro 👏
I’m confused is it the standard or the custom?
My favorite tech is certainly the apple MacBook pro m1, it’s an amazing laptop!! Great reviews, keep it up!
I just ordered the 8 core 14" pro and I'm a music producer/student but I'm a little nervous that it won't perform as well as I need it to for my music? I hope I'm just being paranoid. It will be my first Apple product ever.
Hello Andrew. Thank you for this review. I’m on the way to purchase my first ever laptop, I’m going to study photography and I’ve already purchased Adobe creative cloud. Should I buy the 14.2 M1 Pro or is it enough with the M1 Air both with 16GB RAM?
Hey! I love your monitor, can you by any chance tell me the specific model of it?
Why do people thinking using a laptop for one month is remotely considered long term?
The laptop is still very much brand new and running perfectly even after one year.
Pro max fast! Great review. thank you!!!
Pro max fast. Here to learn if it's for my on the go Business. Thank you for this video. Joel. India.
Nice video, may I ask if somebody knows how to get his wallpaper?
Another great vid from my fav tech youtuber 😉
Wow, thanks!
The M1 air with 16gb ram and 512 gb ssd costs me around 1500 Euros, the M2 Air with the same config costs almost 2000 Euros just the same as the 14 M1 pro. I have started video editing as a hobby and currently use my desktop pc (R5 5600x, 3080, 32gb ram) for that but I want something as well for the go since I am often on the go. Which model would you recommend me? I want to keep the device at least for 5 yrs.
I personally like the look of these new machines in person, but it's a matter of taste
I feel like part of the reason it looks so much taller than the old Pro is that the new feet are taller than the old ones. Is this the case?
Hi can u pls say wheather M1 pro or max is better
Please tell me if PREMIER ORO and AFTER EFFECTS work smoothly on this
You're comparing the old laptop to the new one at the edge. The old version has a taper to it, so it is thicker at the center, and this is presumably where Apple is doing its measurements--i.e., at the thickest point. That is why the numbers aren't adding up for you
That's a good thing to point out, thanks! 🧐👍
