My Life with the MacBook Pro M1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- The Macbook Pro M1 is the best laptop for a lot of people who can afford its price. The Macbook battery life, performance and more is second to none but after 60 days I wanted to give it a long term review and discuss the positive and negative aspects after using it for this long.

Great Review Eber! Thanks for having me on = )
Thanks for letting my check out your studio! It was so much fun!
My two favorite laptop tech guys, let’s go!
Your fan noise comment is so on point.
Excited about alder lake / rembrandt hopefully being the beginning of the end for loud fans.
I tend to restrict the cpu performance in my laptops so I never go over 43 dB.
Great video!
I thought his name is Ibra
Being able to work with a heavy load and yet have no fan noise was one of the biggest reasons for me to upgrade to the M1 Max 16" from a 2019 MBP. The 2019 model had a Intel i9 processor that simply couldn't be cooled efficiently, as soon as you started any workloads or a few tabs on resource heavy websites, the fans would spin up and be loud as hell non stop. Just to be able to work while feeling calm and not needing to wear headphones to overcome it is so nice.
Between that and battery life are the biggest reasons I’m interested in the new silicon. Otherwise, you can get very nice (or even just good enough) Windows-based laptops for much cheaper. If I were into 3D animation, those Windows laptops would be the way to go, but I also have a beefy desktop for that + gaming. For mobile working, the new Macbooks are super interesting. If the 13.3 inch Pro ditched the stupid touchbar for physical keys, I was very interested in it for the crazy battery life.
Great feedback video. I made the jump to my first Mac with the 14 inch Pro. I may still build a gaming PC once video cards are in better supply, but for now this is fast, quiet, and runs all the apps I need to use just fine.
You should consider formatting all external drives to exFAT. That format can be read and written to natively in every modern OS.
I noticed that too!
Like noooooo, you are creating the exact same problem when exFAT is literally on the same page 😭😭😭
Make sure that file size isn't an issue. I remember files over 4 GB weren't allowed in FAT or exFAT
Yes, glad to see i`m not the only one who noticed that. You`d think a good tech youtuber would know that .. Hell, any portable drive be it USB sticks to USB drives (external HDD/SDD) should have been formatted to ExFat from the get go out of factory (at least all of the ones I've bought in the last few years) and I've been keeping them on exfat as well just to avoid this Windows/Mac OSX issue. (not that i have OSX devices myself)
@@corgikun2579 You're thinking of FAT, which does have a max file size of 4GB.
exFAT has a theoretical max file size of 16EB and max volume size of 128PB.
@@popcorny007 How would you theoretically format them drives when you have i.e. hundreds of PBs of files? They still need to go somewhere first :(
Just a heads up, for those working back and forth between pc and macs, formatting the externals for ExFat makes it so you can work with the drive on both machines.
Just use Mac NTFS done, no need to format any drive. You can read and write Mac Drives, fat32,Exfat, ntfs
@@Anthonym_323 ExFAT is supported natively by both platforms without needing to rely on some third party drive like you do with the NTFS support on Mac. Macs can only READ NTFS drives out of the box, they can't write to them. Microsoft charge a fair whack to license that functionality. The only time you really need to have an NTFS drive in Windows is if it's where the actual OS is, or it's part of the indexed network volumes (which newer versions of Windows are pretty shit at doing, incidentally. Try searching on a Windows Server network share lol).
@@TalesOfWar are there any disadvantages or differences to ntfs?
@@oudomsambatchorn851 i think there is file size limit 4gb but that should be all
@@zajlord2930 You're thinking of FAT32, exFAT has a much, much, much larger file size limit, the same as NTFS I believe. NTFS is just the native file system for WIndows so the benefit there is that it'll support all the things Windows expects it to support, exFAT doesn't.
Loved this from start to finish,one of your most enjoyable and helpful videos,love it,stay safe and healthy man
Great review. That little trip to Mat was so refreshing and fun in the see of tech videos.
This was such a well-made video. I'm actually astonished.
Not a Mac user, but definitely looking forward to this series. It won't be just another review. It will give those who really want ro switch over a better idea. The ups and downs.
agreed
Maybe my experience can shortcut the wait a little bit. I bought a MBP in 2014, and found it to be pretty awesome. Photo editing, music remuxing, light video editing. More importantly, it became a "lifebook" for me - web browsing, emailing, schoolwork - the 8 hour battery was a real winner. Even more importantly, it kept up with my daily workflow for almost a decade - I moved some of my video editing to my Windows machine (gaming tower) when I rebuilt it with Ryzen.
Last summer I bought myself an M1 MBA and an M1 Mini. I'll set everything up on my MBA, transfer the project to my Mini on an external SSD, and let the Mini render it while I do something else. The new M1 is amazing - it sips battery and is a perfect compliment to whatever I'm doing at the time.
It's just.... not great for gaming, although Apple Arcade is working on that.
I would highly recommend that you find a reviewer that has a workload similar to yours. Unfortunately, almost every reviewer on RUclips is a 'creative' and their workflows are mainly related editing pictures or movies - tasks that the M1 chips are great at performing. If you have a more traditional workload where you are more concentrating at MS Office type applications, your experience will vary wildly - but most of that is due to MacOS issues vs. Windows. In particular, if you are doing work in MS Excel, the Mac version is pretty bad and then you also have a MacOS issue grouping items under the same task bar icon making it very slow to switch between workbooks - this is why most reviewers have the very large external displays - so you can place things side by side on the monitor for faster C&P. If you don't want to invest a bunch in a large external display, you are better off with Windows if your main workload is MS Office type tasks - and I am saying this as an owner of an M1. If you are used to Windows and like the speed - you will be annoyed by the animations, etc in MacOS that are more tolerable with an M1 chip but still a big cause for frustration.
@@kershekfamily That's why I tried to give an "everyman" experience - I'm a diehard Windows geek and I'm always upgrading my Windows tower/gaming laptop.
My macbook is a computer I live on - web browsing, streaming video, and yes creative work. But I stilll use "office" type applications - the baked-in Pages, Keynote, and I forget their excel replacement because I don't use it, they're more intuitive and robust. They also come included with MacOS and don't require a separate service or purchase. They also export to their microsoft counterparts, and can edit/create PDF. AND I can open them on my ipad or iphone to make last minute edits if need be.
It used to be that Mac was only for the creative types, and Windows was for everyone else. But Mac just does everything now, and Windows has.... pc games. Office. Antivirus. And updates when you're trying to work...
@@isturma "But I still use "office" type applications - the baked-in Pages, Keynote, and I forget their excel replacement because I don't use it, they're more intuitive and robust."
- actually, no, they are not. Keynote is great for a 'green screen' add in, but it is no where near a replacement for Powerpoint. Even within MacOS - Powerpoint is materially slower and worse than the equivalent in Windows. Again, this is a MacOS and MSFT issue in that they decided deliver a sub-optimal product. Nothing against the M1 chip - that truly is amazing. But, non-Intel Macs have huge drawbacks. For example, if you are a business students, chances are you will need to do an MS Access project - well, there is no Access for MacOS at all.
I use my Mac for everyday tasks as well - surfing the web, watching movies, etc. However, it is also my main laptop for work. In that, the majority applications I use are MS Office. I have yet to render a movie. However, I have to work on Excel, Powerpoint, Word, Outlook about 6+ hours per day. I think this is fairly typical for office jobs. Second, I typically have Teams open all day, Workplace Chat, and an open communicator program like Zalo or Viber. So, for me, the battery life claims mean little unless it replicates this type of load. Now, I will say that my M1 can usually make it through the day with 10-15% remaining. Hence, I have not been able to ditch carrying a charger - but, I know I can go 5 hours in a meeting without needing the charger which is nice to have.
My only real complaint is how bad the MS Office office is. I have looked at Parallels but spending an extra $80 PER YEAR seems outrageous to me. I did buy the expanded storage to 512GB with the anticipation I will need to run Windows on the same machine. I just want a better option than Parallels at that cost.
Again, your mileage may vary as everyone has a different workload. Just from my perspective, any review that concentrates on movie rendering or picture editing probably does not align with a vast majority of the people actually viewing the videos.
You have produced an excellent, informative, and well-edited video here. I found it extremely useful. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge. Kudos!
First time watching your videos. I am hooked. Top quality everything
I think Apple with its release of the M1 chips forced Intel and AMD to accelerate their chip roll outs. They were probably sitting on these more advanced chip architectures to slowly unveil them over the next few years, but Apple forced their hands.
Thank god too. I hate it when companies get too comfy.
The Ryzen chips are already decent, though. What AMD severely needs is good laptops. There are so many more things to consider than just the processor.
Ikr haha
This guy makes some of the best videos on RUclips!
Loved the commitment on this 60 day vid. Kudos for the moniz cameo
The crossover i didn't know i needed! Well done.
Look at Matt, so inspirational
Wonderful video. Loved watching till the end.
The 14" base M1 model is also the next level in performance and quality. It is simply amazing! The only complaint is all of my HDMI cables that I tried, are loose, even the one that came with my LG 4K monitor. Nice review!
I just wish the battery life was better, but that’s the trade-off I feel like. It’s great amount of performance with a smaller battery compared to the 16-inch or more performance than the Air/13.3-inch models.
Iv had the 14 with m1 pro for about a month and its the most impressive piece of tech iv ever owned, battery life in amazing, charges fast with the 96w MagSafe cable, I always have like 15 tabs open and its never even came close to stuttering, screens ridiculous. love it, highly recommend
Brilliant review. I’m looking to upgrade pretty soon this seems like the perfect option
Wow, this is the first time I’m actually seeing Matthew’s studio from a behind the scenes type angle. Noice!!!
I appreciate the "Cmd+Shft+5" shortcut! Very helpful instead of typing in "screenshot" in the search bar lol; great video too!
I don't usually watch laptop videos on this channel but I was interested in the new Macbooks. The cinematography blew me away very well done!
I recently switched from having a Mac mini with twin external displays to the 14in with a 15.6" 4k USB-C display. I have less ports, but I need less. The 1080p Webcam is as clear as my Logitech brio, the built-in mic array is seriously impressive and my whole setup fits in my backpack with room to spare. Also there's the whole using my iPad as a third screen and Hotspot thing. This is the computer I've been hoping someone would make for years.
Excellent opinion piece. I’ve only come across one other video that I’d rate higher as it pertains to providing me with good information towards deciding on the 16 versus the 14. Thank you.
Love it. Couldn't agree more with your observations.
that setup process was so cleannnnnnnn
I recently bought one, and almost everything (apart from the webcam) vibed with my thoughts so much 😂
Amazing video! 😌
I’ve had the same exact Macbook Pro for about a month now (waited for it two months to arrive).
I’ve never, ever, heard the fan yet, powered or on battery.
It’s just unbelievable. My former MBP (2020 i7) was running like an airplane when starting or installing the stuff I use to code ..
I subscribed.
Please keep up the high quality of production.
Super helpful and detailed, thanks Eber!
I really appreciate this timeline as it mimics reality to what the purchaser truly experiences weeks after their purchase. Also, enjoyed seeing Moniz. I purchased an HP Windows based Omen 15. That will be my last purchase as I am going to switch to an M1 or any other ARM based chipset moving forward with my future purchases,
Ravi Peiris M.D.
Man that's so amazing! I've been a mac user before but switched to pc bcoz of the upgradability. The competition is so high that i want to switch to the new M1.
Good video Ebert.
Thank you for sharing your candid experiences. I like Mac OS but I do appreciate Windows as well. They both have their functionality.
Looking to jump to resolve for my edits too. great video buddy.
Also when you have the camera facing to the guest, your audio is still fantastic
Good job
I switched my workstation 3900x and such, to a MBA M1 and I could not be more happy.
There are some things that a MBA falls short on, but the overall exp was great.
For my Windows drives I use Paragon NTFS for Mac, it can read and write on NTFS drives. Awesome little software.
I used that for a time but found it a bit unreliable- that was some years ago though. Has the reliability improved?
@@Tigrisshark I have absolutely no issue, right now on my Mac M1, it’s reliable so far
Great seeing your setup and Matthew's.
The new Macbooks look like the best solution for video editors. I still edit on my 5950X/3090 PC. Fan noise isn't too bad, but it isn't silent either.
If I could change my recording setup a little, I could perhaps do something similar.
Nice video! Thanks
2022 is a great year for laptops. Apple Silicon is awesome (I have the 16” MBP as well & everything you’ve mentioned is spot on) but the Windows laptop launches at CES we’re eye popping. So many great laptops out there right now - MB Air, Dell Inspiron 16, Slim 7 Pro, MSi Z16, plus dual screen and function wheel options etc.
Outstanding & Awesome Apple MacBook Pro M1 Video by you Sir....😝😝👻👽
Bought a Macbook Air M1 last year because of its power, having never used MacOS before, and I haven't regretted it at all. It's blazing fast (no slowdowns yet whatsoever), super smooth and MacOS has been really nice to use although there was a bit of a learning curve. Still have a Windows PC at home but the MacBook Air is a perfect portable computer. Crazy that I can play some heavier games like Dying Light on it too at 60FPS, it's an ultrabook with no cooling and the game runs flawlessly.
Love your mini itx rig!
I'm dying waiting for my 16" M1 Pro (base) to arrive! Thanks for your thoughts!
i am obsessed with the command shift 4 shortcut!
Just an FYI if you switch back to windows, the command+shift+5 equivelant is win+shift+s by default it is a rectangular drag to select area and its copied to your clipboard, but there is a menu at the top of the screen to change this to 'free form'(any shape) 'window snip'(i believe the active window or a window that you select) and 'full screen'.
There is a similar option for screen recorting win+alt+r but for some silly reason it only works with "games" or programs you flag as games, so not the desktop. there's probably a registry key for this but i dont care to find it because i generally just use OBS to do this (not strreamlabs)
Hey Eber! if you format your hard drives as ExFat, they'll be readable by macOS and windows. useful if you decide to reintegrate your PC - or any windows machines - into your life.
Amazing video. For me Macs are ideal for work and PCs for gaming… this as been a thing for some time now.
What an awesome video!!
@Matthew Moniz simple resume it perfectly! No fan noise is a deal breaker nowadays. Windows laptops are so hard to find a model and a variant to be quiet that it is easier just pick a macbook air or pro which is everywhere. Quietness is simple amazing.
I've been using my Surface Book 2 for quite a while now. As a web developer, it is starting to struggle more and more lately as my main project evolves and tech stacks start to get more complex. Also, this machine throttles like really a lot. I've been considering an upgrade but I am really attached to this machine for what it can do and its design compared to the rest of the Windows laptops even for as recent as 2022, and I can't consider any machine a serious upgrade besides the MacBook Pro M1 14". There's a lot of compromises coming from a Surface device, no Windows Hello, no touch screen and pen support (I use to take notes on OneNote sometimes, and draw on it in some rare occasions), no detachable screen (but is it really something I use or more like a party trick?). On the other hand, M1 seems so incredibly performant it blows away my current setup, and ARM is definitely the future we should be pushing for personal computing. I also have never used MacOS in my life, and it seems bootcamping into Windows on M1 is still not an option, if it ever will be, so the switch makes me a little nervous. Having the ability to emulate iOS and test on real Safari locally would be a great bonus though.
Those M1 chipsets are on completely another level. If you are new to MacOS consider turning “3 finger move” option in accessibility touchpad settings. You won’t have to click on anything (windows, files, folders) you just hover over the top bar of the window or icon and you’ll be able to move it with 3fingers :)
I've found that MacOS stabilized my workflow as a software developer a bunch. I use to distrohop between Elementary OS, PopOS, Ubuntu etc. on a Dell Precision Workstation laptop - was never really satisfied. Now that laptop runs windows and it's fine for my memory intensive work (it's got 80GB of memory) like running VMS, Docker etc. My gaming PC obviously runs Windows and then my homelab server runs Proxmox with multiple guest OS. A little base model MacBook Air is now my daily driver for 70% of stuff. I don't hate Windows or Linux, I just use them when they are the best tool for the job.
I've generally found WSL2 to be really really good, OSX and Brew annoy me but the Macbook hardware is exceptionally good. If the graphic card prices stay as they are i'll dual wield a Mac and an Xbox.
@@spacechannelfiver I’m surprised to hear that WSL2 works that well, and conversely, that Brew has been annoying for you. Granted, I’m not even up to Power User-level on Linux, just know basic scripting and compiling from source, but I would have thought Brew was pretty straightforward for giving a UNIX environment some ease of use in getting some basic tools. Kinda like pip for python-related tasks. But I’ve also not used Brew, so I can’t really say. I’m just surprised to hear praise for WSL2, as I used MSYS a while back and while it was functional, it never felt like it was anything more than a gimmick/wrapper function like WINE. At the end of the day, I still had Windows foibles to deal with, rather than being on Linux.
Greetings from Vanuatu. Thank you for sharing.
Loving the MacBook content! 👍
I was not a Mac user - But when I started with Mac, the ecosystem is an understatement. The fact all of Apple device communicate with each other is a huge factor. When I start work I do not need to touch my phone. All the message calls and everything comes to my laptop and the continuity is amazing ( You can continue any work from any drive). Small things makes a huge difference.
Sure. I used Mac and iphone before (not anymore), and I understand your point. It is so seamless and amazing. But just to let u know, when u start researching about apps and automations on Android and windows, u realize there are amazing features and apps like syncing clipboard with all other computers in any OS platform, syncing notifications, opening android apps, take calls or messages. Some of them are even more useful than Apple ecosystem, and I can't live without them anymore.
@@ytn6662 Agree mate - I am not saying its only Mac that can do that. But for a regular user they need to do lot of research and understand how all of that works. I use Windows at home. But for me to get my PC to do the same its not easy and takes lots of work- Even then its not seamless as a Mac. Obviously Widows is a better platform for many reason. But Windows can not hide behind that and not expect users to stay. Because Mac have been catching up in price and performance for the last few years. I can see firms like ours have started to buy Mac's. That is a huge win for Apple.
Geek Lebron with another solid video.
Yeap. Very happy with my MBP 16" M1 Max. Certainly overkill, but this thing will be my daily driver for content creation for years to come.
Great video!
great review I got one from my work, just wanna give you a heads up to use the MagSafe cuz using USB c sometimes causes battery drain, and then recharge will degrade the battery really fast.
thank you so much for this review I'll be going for this exact configuration for my purchase 😀
I can see the texture of your ceiling through the web cam for the first time
08:58 Speakers. I've been using Apple laptops since I got a PowerBook G4 12' back in college, first running Linux (Yellowdog!) until MacOS X convinced me to switch. I've got a full eco system of Windows systems for gaming/productivity, Linux for services (File Server, local DNS, etc), but Apple has always had my laptop slot, despite issues I've had with the 'walled garden' and (no)Right to Repair problems Apple drags with it, and the big points is comes down to has always been Display, Trackpad, and Speakers. I'm so used to having quality speakers on my laptops, I've NEVER been able to keep a Windows laptop. Everything else can be great, but that tinny flat garbage that passes as 'quality' speakers in the Windows laptop market has always driven me crazy.
Thanks for the review -- I've really wanted to switch to a Windows laptop due to issues I have with Apple and its practices, but the hardware has always failed me. Just had my old 2014 finally die on me and I've been having some internal conflict about my M1 Pro order.
this device just perfect
video quality is really top notch, keep it up!
I also use the now "old" Macbook Pro with the first M1 and even that is ridiculous good when it comes to performance, battery life is amazing. Yeah you have just the 2 USB-C Ports but on a full blown Desk Setup you use USB Hub anyway, there is no way the integrated ports are ever enough so i don't mind.
I also don't mind the official support for just one display, cause similar to you i can also use my ipad pro as an addition screen, also in parallel to a HDMI display so i have a 3 screen setup with the integrated display as well. I use it for surfing, cloud gaming, home automation, programming, mailing, social media stuff... it is simply awesome.
When it's time to go to bed and i want entertainment and multitasking in bed i still have a mobile dual screen setup with the ipad as a second screen. So also no issue in that department.
why your video is so great visually? even better then mkbhd or arun! please tell me is it the magic of color grading? please make a studio tour video with editing tutuorial please!
production qualityyyy>>>
I switched in 2021 to mac m1 the performance was shocking to me battery life is unbelievable the only problem i have is with devices compatibility especially printers until now even with wifi printers I still face countless problems
To write files on NTFS disks using Mac os, you just need a program called "Paragon NTFS", or its analog, there are few same programs
I’m glad that I got the M1 pro
I don’t think I’ll ever edit back in windows
The smoothness and the playback is another level
I don’t think windows laptops will be as good as this generation of Macs
Haha! Fellow PCMR gamer with a Mac for work (& previously school). My Macbook pro has been my workhorse for years, perfect for Lightroom photo editing, word processing and browser based work. M1 is a game changer and makes it more compelling than ever.
I'd say there are some compromises, but well worth it if you don't need to game on the go. My switch and future Steam deck will fill that void for me.
Turn your old workstation into an esxi server! The specs look perfect for it!
nice video, i am waiting for the futur blade 14
I got the MBP 16 M1 Pro and it's fast. I used a MBP 13 2018 i5 and it just blows it out of the water. One thing I do notice is that speed wise it''s as fast as my desktop PC with 5600X and 980ti. You don't really notice how fast it is in daily use. I do however, will use it for software dev and video editing so I'll see how it performs then.
How does it go with software dev?
p.s. You should dock in the other direction (screen hinge up) because you're blocking the vent right now. Of course, the fact that you can work just fine while blocking much of the vent is something else.
This video has a really nice theme "quality over quantity". Maybe it's just me but I really love the idea behind the video! Cheers!
The HDMI port IS 2.1, thanks to the retroactive naming scheme they recently announced to keep things sim... stupid. To keep them stupid. Like USB 3.0 devices from 10 years ago are now rocking the brand new USB 3.2 Gen 1 x 1...
Great video
I have pretty much the same config for work (software development). It's insane. I had a Macbook Air M1 before, already a pretty capable machine. It destroyed my old 15" MacBook Mid 2017. The new MacBook Pro is way more powerful. I can throw almost anything at it und will do it fast, quiet and smooth.
What sort of software development do you do? I'm hesitant to try the M1 chips due to compatibility concerns.
For my coding workflow the Air m1 pretty much matched the 2019 i9 mbp i had earlier (actually it felt smoother if anything) while being completely silent. If anything the only thing i miss is having windows for some light gaming.
@@terribletruth8201 Yeah heard lots of issue for swes. Probably not worth the headaches.
@@andy-sl2im I'm not committed to any language or framework or anything, but I've been messing with C# a lot recently. idk about Visual Studio for Mac.
Solid feedback.
My main concern is conectivity and and lack of second SSD slot , for us Music Producer , more often we work a BIG sample libraries that usually need their own drive for real time streaming of big amount of files (samples) and doing it on the same SSD could be problematic , and imho having an external SSD to bring everywhere is just killing the concept of poertable studio .... at least i know that the Razor dock is working well with it ;) Thks
I love how the switch conveys the emotional weight that nobody talks about. I watch a lot of tech reviews, but I guess because reviewers are switching their tech almost every day, they don't get attached to their tech gear the way we do. Emotions are important, and that's what separates a good tech channel from the other soulless spec-reading dudes out there.
his voice is so soothing
Finally a review with real life experiences and not just charts, numbers and synthetic tests, thanks
I bought the 16 inch MacBook Pro to replace my iMac 2017 which got smoked most of the times with it's smaller sibling, the 13 inch MacBook Pro base model using DaVinci Resolve. Even though it has 4 times as much dedicated RAM in place of shared RAM as the base model 2020.
I never thought this day would come 😳
4,400$ CAD goshhhhh. Seems like an awesome machine however, I was interested at first, but when I saw the price, I feel I don't really need it that much. I like that you invest in your tool to be more efficient and you are willing to take risk changing os and all. What is weird is, I also make a living working on a PC (office job), but it's a damn old Lenovo t470s that cost less than 500$. I ask for an upgrade as I would like to be more efficient and less bug and wait time (since my time is costly) and they refused (I also can't buy my one for security reason), it's crazy !
About the notch I use a black background which also make the battery last longer
For anything but the most intense video editing tasks the fans will never turn on. It's not just quiet but 100% noiseless since there are no moving parts. You can use an app like istat menu to confirm that the fans sit at zero RPM. For the Intel MBP the fans have a floor at around 2000 RPM and never go to zero.
Hey, long time Mac and pc user. Going forward, I'd recommend getting yourself a license for Paragon's NTFS for Mac. All my external drives are formatted to NTFS and the software lets me read and write to them on my Mac. It costs next to nothing also.
Overall, great review and its really making me want to trade in my i9 MacBook Pro for an m1 Pro.
Very interesting video.
Great laptop but for most people it won’t be needed. Most RUclipsrs review this with their workflow in mind and the screen panel is even calibrated for video editing in mind. When I say most people I’m referring to people who will just be using the laptop for web surfing, office documents and watching RUclips.
Agreed. It’s complete overkill. I have the MacBook Air M1 and for light graphic design, managing my blog, Spotify, creating podcast, and checking email, it’s amazing.
@@anthonyt425 Yeah, M1 is more than enough for basic users. This is only for a professional workflow like editing, graphic design, etc.
Finally, Eber! ;)
Thank you for this video. I'm curious about what monitor you're using for your setup?
Production quality of this channel is going through the roof ! Great job guys !
So we’re still not gonna see the Macs go through your standardized battery test?
I still prefer having the 14" (not necessarily fully spec’d) I’ve played with both the 16" and 14" at the store, while they both looked thicker than previous ones, and the 16" felt very bulky while holding it up and putting it back on the table, BUT MY QUESTION IS : are the new MBPs more prone to dings, for me the aluminum didn’t seem to be machined like the previous ones, and the screen lids wobble like crazy especially the 16" one, while the previous ones rock solid lids when bumping the table or putting them down… I still have the 15" from 2014 got it fully spec’d at the time, and after 8 years of use it handled bumps extremely well and the lid doesn’t wobble at all, even if you force it, it wobbles for like a split second and stops, the new ones especially the lids, feel less sturdy to me, and if they make the new Airs like that too, I think I’m gonna get a fully spec’d MBA before they change to the new design… sorry for my long comment but I was really wondering if anyone else noticed that and your experiences using the new MBPs with the new aluminum chassis/lids, THANKS!
Its almost a bit frustrating when there’s just no stock where i live . >.< been waiting for months for nothing…
