MacBook Pro 14" in 2023 The Best Laptop... Except (LONG TERM REVIEW)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- It has been over 452 days since Apple has refreshed the M1 Pro and M1 Max 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pros, and I have been using one almost daily since its release. Since that period, this laptop has been with me on my daily coffee runs, in airports, at the studio, and it has helped me finish countless video projects, scripts, photo edits, RUclips videos, and even some downtime playing games. So after one year is the 14" MacBook Pro still worth it, and should you buy one today despite its age?

i am a apple user since 1992 and had dozens of macs over the years. This 14' is DEFINITELY THE BEST mbp EVER (so far)
just bought this one😁
No, it's MacBook Pro 13/15 Non-Retina Mid-2012. That's the best MacBook/PowerBook ever made.
MBP14/16 M1 Pro/Max is the 2nd best ever made. There's a couple of reasons why it's not number one...
- no USB-A port
- the 3,5mm headphone jack is not combo (digital & analog), it's only analog
- can't replace SSD/RAM
- too expensive base model
- no battery check on the side (that button and the status lights)
Would love to see a Tier Ranking for MacBooks. I would place both MBP Mid-2012 Non-Retina and MBP14/16 M1 Pro/Max on the S tier but Mid-2012 is even better.
I'm really happy for MBP14/16 M1 Pro/Max but it's maybe too expensive/pricy. The base models MBP14 is pretty affordable on sales but still not cheap enough but it's close.
MacBook 12" 2015 with only one USB-C port and that butterfly keyboard is E or F. One of the worst MacBooks ever. MBP Butterfly since 2016 is C or D. MacBook Pro Late 2006 (first with Core 2 Duo) was A or B - better than MBP Early 2006 with Core Duo that got too hot. Core 2 Duo solved much of that heat problem.
@@holdingfarkas same! MBP14 M1 Pro (10 core CPU) 16/1000. On sale. I wanted 32 GB RAM but that would have costed 1000 (!) dollar more. Yes! No joke!
My MBP14 16/1000 costed 1900 dollar on sale. On AppleStore the 32/1000 config is 2900 dollar. That's a 1000 dollar difference! And 2000 GB SSD would have costed even more: 400 dollar more. So 32/2000 GB would have costed 1400 dollar more. For those 1400 dollar extra I can probably buy Samsung's new 27" 5K display instead of extra RAM and bigger SSD.
All prices before sales tax.
So my strategy is that I hope this MBP14 will be a good computer for 3-5 years, then I will buy a new one. Hopefully an even better one :)
@@cjeelde What a dinosauric comment.
USB A should have been phased out ages ago.
S/PDIF is mostly meaningless (digital audio out) with current tech, and if you need it you might as well just get a DAC.
"RAM" can't be changed for technical reasons (no, It is not just "soldered").
Storage I will give to you. That's how Apple rips everyone off in 2023 and have for a while.
@@xmaverickhunterkx
USB-A - at least one port on a MBP. It's okay that they got 3 USB-C ports. More USB-C than USB-A. Just look at Mac Mini M1: 2x USB-C, 2x USB-A, 1x HDMI and 1x 3,5mm
Toslink: I mean, there's already a 3,5mm jack. If they made that port a combo port would not take extra space. Maybe they need additional circuits on the motherboard. They can fix it.
RAM - I know it's a part of the chip now. I think they started with soldered RAM with MBP Mid-2012 Retina. But since M1 the RAM is inside the chip, soldered. I think it's better when it's not soldered so you can buy a machine with 8 or 16 GB and upgrade to 32 or 64 GB if or when you need. It's about economy.
SSD - yeah that's the sad story. I've always wanted an M.2-2280 slot (PCIe NVMe) so you can buy Samsung's SSDs if you want. A good thing would be a soldered SSD plus one M.2 slot.
This is where Apple is making huge money on Macs: the BTO options for RAM and SSD. Extreme profits. They sell under-speced base models to force as many as possible to buy the Mac on AppleStore and use those expensive BTO options. It's okay for pro users with a huge wallet but there are many pro users that don't like to spend that much money at once. Many pro users are used to buy Macs that you can upgrade later on.
And if you look at the history close, you will see that the Macs changed when Steve Jobs died and Tim Cook took over. MBP Mid-2012 Non-Retina was a "Jobs product" and that Retina was a Cook product. From a MBP that you could upgrade a lot to a MBP that you couldn't upgrade at all, kind of. The same thing happend to the other Macs as well. Just look at Mac Pro trashcan compared to Mac Pro tower - also a difference. Apple realized their mistake with the trashcan and released a new tower that you could upgrade kind of how you could before. After MBP Retina you saw MBP Butterfly that was even worse and Apple realized that and added these ports that pro users missed: MagSafe, HDMI and SD card slot. Hopefully Apple will listen even more to their customers. Make MBP a little bit more fat (still slim) so it's possible to add a M.2 SSD. That will hurt Apple's profit but on the other hand, that might increase the unit sales of MBP and maybe also that users will go for more RAM (BTO), 32-64 GB, and stick with 1TB SSD and buy a second SSD from Samsung later on. Would be so great to hade two internal SSDs: one from Apple (soldered) and one optional thanks to the M.2 slot. With MBP Mid-2012 Non-Retina you could actually have 2 internal SATA SSDs. Some pro users loved that. So they removed the internal DVD and replaced it with a second SSD. They could even create an internal RAID with those two SSDs. That MBP Mid-2012 Non-Retina is really the best MacBook/PowerBook ever made. Such a great Mac! Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, Thunderbolt (MiniDP), 2x USB-A (5 Gbps), SD card slot and a combo 3,5mm (analog&digital). Plus DVD-R. Was a great machine when they released it. Still a very good Mac.
I’m now over nine months in with my 14” MacBook Pro, and I have no regrets on what I’ve spent on it: still the best laptop I’ve ever owned. The M1 Max performance. The quiet. No more throttling. The 4TB SSD convenience. The portability of going from my studio desk attached to a dock to slipping it into my backpack. When I had low battery at a cafe, the same powerbank that charges my iPad Pro keeps the laptop running. No laptop is perfect, not even this one, but it’s pretty damn close and still very satisfying to use. Good to see you’re pretty satisfied with yours; thanks for sharing.
I have two 16" MacBooks (M1 Max and M1 Pro) and I just don't feel like having enough screen space on the 14", which is why I preferred and still prefer the 16".
I am traveling with it a couple times a month and it's a breeze to never have to worry about battery life.
Just ordered a refurbished base model M1 Pro MBP. Will be my first MacBook. Will mainly be using for music production, light video and photo editing. Wanted something long term that wouldn’t break the bank and this looks perfect.
I have the 16" but have purchased 2 14" base models for two of my sons. To me the 14" base is still the best value laptop out there. The plan is they get 4 or 5 years out of them (hopefully). In regards to battery life, one of my sons primarily uses it for coding and compiling and charges once a week, my other has a study hall and journalism so he plays WoW in SH and edits video in journalism and thus charges every other day.
I think you are right about side-eyeing the other model regardless of choice. I have the 16” and while I love the extra battery life, at times I find myself lusting after the lighter form-factor of the 14”. Either way, ya can’t have it all.
Haha exact same. I bought two m1 airs but as a lifetime 15” user I couldn’t get used to it. Now owning a 16” owner I’m like “welll the portability of that air would be cool”
I’m not a professional though I don’t need it for power
@@mikemcmike6427 A 16" screen that is somehow magically the size of an M1 Air = dream machine! I'm holding out hope for the 15" Air rumored to come out this year. I primarily do office work that involves a million windows and browser tabs, along with some light video editing on the side. I hate colored beach balls, even if only for a few seconds, so I would want to get a higher configuration for good performance. Don't mind spending more as I did for the 16", I just hope it can come close to matching its performance. My 16" Pro (not Max) is absolute perfection for me performance-wise, I just don't like how bulky it feels on my lap 😆
@@ryanw8664 agreed that is a dream machine however i seem to have the worst luck. and after following the 15 inch air since the m1 was released it seemed it was just a dream. a month later it gets reported everywhere it is indeed happening LOL
Legit though, whether it be an iPhone, an iPad or a Mac, I am forever second guessing the decision I made over the size of the device I chose 😅 I always just end up skewing larger and choosing no regrets lol.
@@ryanw8664well…. It’s here
Good video, Mister! I LOVE my 16-inch M1 MBP. I had a 2013 15-inch before it and this 16-inch weighs 1 pound less. I'm a visual artist and teacher so I like the bigger screen. What you didn't mention is that the speaker are better on the 16-inch than the 14-inch. The battery is FANTASTIC. Plus, I travel back and forth from work with my Mac, and back in my car, so the larger size and weight is no bother,... and it's, like I said, LIGHTER than my last old MBP.
I love the car mention because I have made it myself when qualifying that I purchased the 14" for camping entertainment while on my motorbike. It demonstrates a personalisation that applies to all products really. You balance the needs against the inconveniences. Also, I was happy with the specs on the base 14" and didn't feel the need to up it to the full performance. Going for the base 16" would have added 20% to the price for a pretty bad trade off on portability and specs I will never use.
I remember standing in line at the Apple Store to buy Snow Leopard on launch day and getting that exact t-shirt.
Just sold my M2 air 16gb/1Tb for $1400 and got M1 pro 10/16 core 16gb/1Tb and man I’m happy with the upgrade.
Intriguingly, the HDMI-port only works when the connected device has its own HDMI-connection. At my school, we have a lot of older beamers which still only have VGA - I live and teach on a Caribbean island - and when using the HDMI-dongle to connect to the VGA cable of the beamer, both the MacBook Pro 14" and the MacBook Air M1 do not connect. However, when I pop in a USB-C dongle, I can connect via de HDMI port of that dongle to a VGA-based beamer.
I’ve never been disappointed by an Apple MacBook Pro. I’ve had 4 or 5 since 2009. My current 14” Pro just feels like an extension of what I’ve been used to…
I love mine; such a great user experience.
Sounds like you purchased the best tool for what you are using it for on the go except as you stated larger 8TB SSD storage. A friend I use to work with favorite saying about the storage was "Crap always expands to the space available". Now maybe just me. Think about moving completed projects off from the local storage when you are starting a new project.
Now I know it would add to the weight of your backpack. Might think about the purchase of the biggest battery pack you can take on a airplane. Then if you are going to be using your MacBook Pro for any period of time plug it into the battery pack before you start using it. I know it is a bit of a pain however you could also use it to charge your other devices when needed.
Totally agree that MBP14 M1 Pro 8cores CPU 16/512 - on a good sale - is THE BEST DEAL for ANY average customer that wanna have a new MacBook:
+ not just 14", it's high quality
+ more ports and many non-pro users will love HDMI and SD card slot
+ great performance (also faster SSD than in MacBook Air)
+ great/good battery life
+ MagSafe is back
Pro users should look at the BTO options. 2-8 TB if you gonna edit a lot of high res videos. 32-64 GB RAM also.
If you're an average user and need more storage: go for 512-1000 GB internal SSD and get an affordable external solution. If you're very rich average user and need much storage then go for 2-8 TB internal SSD :)
One thing that people never talk about is the SSD performance in MBA vs MBP. It's really faster in MBP. That's great for the boot/reboot performance and when you launch apps. Most users will probably love the "MBA performance" but MBP14/16 is even faster.
Storage is not just about how many GB. It's also the read/write performance. Same thing about displays: it's not just the size, it's also pixel density (Retina or not?), nits, color accuracy, refresh rate and much more.
I'm so glad that the Butterfly MacBooks are history. Apple never listened to their customers. They made what they hoped that the customers gonna love. It turned out that Apple did wrong. I felt that at day 1 in late 2016. So that's why I waited for so many years to buy a new MBP.
With MBP14 they corrected these problems:
+ the keyboard (away from butterfly and no more touchbar)
+ added useful ports that we missed (HDMI and SD card slot)
+ MagSafe (charging) is back!
There's only two/three things I miss:
1) at least one USB-A port
2) possibility to replace SSD, RAM and battery
3) the 3,5mm headphone jack is not optical-analog, it's only analog. Older MacBooks had that optical-analog combo! That's great for those speakers that got a toslink connection.
At least the battery is possible to replace but you need to bring your MBP to a service center. I think it's glued or so. It's not "user friendly" to replace as for older MBP Non-Retina (Unibody?). There's dongles and docks with many ports like USB-A, Ethernet and yada yada yada :) but that will cost even more money :(
But these M1 Pro/Max MacBooks are a big step forward in the right direction compared to the Butterfly MacBooks.
I hope Apple can let us upgrade at least the SSD in future MacBooks. Probably not gonna happen but I will never stop dream about it.
MBP Butterfly with 4 TB ports had no MagSafe. So in the reality it was 3 TB ports plus 1 charging port. MBP14/16 got "only" 3 TB ports but no need to use those for charging since MagSafe is back. So it's not a loss for TB ports on MBP14/16.
Before I forget, it's not possible to use any eGPU with MacBooks with M1/M2?
I wanna buy a refurbished one but i don´t understand what 8cores CPU/ 14coresGPU stand for... dont get what i should look at, btw... im a graphic designer, not much video editing but uses a lot of adobe
8cores CPU means "8 microprocessors (CPU) in a chip". In the 80s and 90s, personal computers had only one microprocessor, so "1core CPU". Later on they (Intel and other companies) started to combine 2, 4 and 8 processors together in one chip to bring more performance. When they do that, they call one processor for "one core".
So it's all about performance. More cores equals more performance. Another method to add performance is to increase the "clock frequency" and that is about MHz or GHz.
One great thing Apple did with their own processors is adding "battery friendly CPU cores", so their M1 and M2 chips got both high performance cores and "battery friendly cores".
For MacBook Pro M1 Pro, 2 of the CPU cores are battery friendly. For M2 Pro, 4 of the CPU cores are battery friendly.
GPU cores: that's the "graphics card" and how many "graphics processors" it got. That card is integrated into the M1 chip as well as the M2 chip. So it's very small.
Since you're a graphics designer I would recommend you to buy MacBook Pro 14 or 16 inch because these two models got a very very good display, it's about color accuracy. That's the best you can get. So don't go for MacBook Air! And don't go for MacBook Pro 13 inch! Go for 14 or 16 i inch. So M1 Pro or M2 Pro. 16 GB RAM ("unified memory") is the smallest amount you can pick and that should work great. If you can afford 32 GB RAM and find a refurbished model with 32 GB then go for it. 16 GB should work fine too.
M1 Pro vs M2 Pro? It's not a huge difference. M2 Pro is kind of an overclocked M1 Pro plus 2 added "battery friendly CPU cores". M1 Pro is still a great performance!
So do you need 14 or 16 inch?
@@cjeelde thanks for your response! You really cleared my mind onto what I should look for. I’m willing to spend a little more to get 32gb ram cause I’m planning on keeping this one for a long time. I’m getting then a 14inch 8/14 M1Pro 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD
my only. regret is getting the space gray one instead of the silver one
Snow leopard 😂 love the shirt Greg. Rumor according to prossser, 9to5 mac and mac rumors say new MacBook Pro Tuesday tomorrow. I doubt, but stranger things have been known to happen
Got one in oct 2022 and it feels like this thing was already a year ahead of that time. Really speaks to how much of an impression this macbook has made on the entire tech community (and I'm one of the windows converts).
@random viewer No student loan, but ty. And who asked?
Now they have released 14 inch M2 chips in same price
I got the M1Pro 14/10/16/16/32 memory and absolutely love it, this thing better last me for another 4 yrs minimum.
Thank God. I literally just bought the base model 2 weeks ago
what website did he use for tracking how many days it’s been since the macbook’s release?
Thanks for the review looking to upgrade my 13" intel based from 2019 ... I am just a bit put off by the square form and the notch and I don't know if I want the M2 Pro or the M2 Pro Max ... I would go more for more RAM than storage. I do run simulation tasks (I am a scientist) on every core so I am not just using software written by other people.
Hi Greg, great review! I would like to ask, you say you would prefer to have more storage on your laptop in order to travel without carrying anything else. Still, wouldn’t you have an external drive with you for TimeMachine use?
Greg, please tell me, do you have any dents/pits/micro-holes on you display? I had some on my MacBook Pro 14 (2021) after about 6 months of use. I did recently got my display replaced under warranty. I read that many people experience this despite being so protective with the device and some even had the same thing happened on the replaced display too. Even if not advised, I'm considering putting a film screen protector. What do you think? Thank you!
I agree with the 8TB
When I upgrade from my 2015 i7 MacBook Pro, I'm waiting to be able to max out my storage to 12TB. That way I have 2+ TB for Dropbox, and 10-ish TB for video editing and photo editing.
Can confirm that the 16 inch is… technically usable on an airplane tray table, but so awkward to get in and out of a bag that I never ended up bothering for the rest of my flight 😂
@random viewer umm or maybe I was just thinking about doing some work while I had 4 hours to kill
So it's really not usable
Haha I am in the same situation as you with the 16 inch version. It's a lot heavier and bigger but on the other side it has better battery and better cooling. I also side eye the 14inch but I think I stay with the 16 😅
Truthfully you probably didn’t need the extra gpu cores of the M1 Max. A lot of the work you do relies on the encoders and not the gpu. Going M1 Pro could’ve saved you some battery while mostly getting the same performance.
That MacBook is one of the most powerful devices I've ever seen, great review.
If i needed a laptop (I do not currently), I'd probably go with the M1 Pro 14". Or the M2 equivalent once available. I like the form factor. I'd go with the weakest cpu/gpu option (light duty usage), 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. However, I already have an iPad Mini and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra for the things I'd use this for. An M2 Air would be less expensive, and probably actually better for me.
Help me choose:
1700€ for MacBook Pro 14 512GB
1250€ for MacBook Air M2 256GB
- Usually using at home
- 3-4x a year Photo editing
- doing a lot with Windows VM for Playing Games (older ones like Half Life) and Editing
- surfing web and RUclips
- a lot of tabs oben in chrome
What Shall I do?
Yep. Mine is still brilliant after a year.
How dirty the screen gets? Is it easy to clean the screen?
I didn't love my older 2013 MBP. I liked the M1 Macbook Air. I love the 14" M1Max MBP. It has the ports I need to do iOS dev and has more power than my windows workstation with AMD Ryzen 3700x with 64G ram.
I was offered a second hand 14 and 16 inch m1 macbook pro 16 gb memory and 1 TB SSD for 1500$ and 1600$ and they look both like new really, no scratch at all ! The 14 inch has even 2 years Apple care still as well … I couldnt decide which one to keep and as they are both at such good price and state i kept them both … 😅 What do you think ? A bit crazy ? The 14 inch is more portable and i love the screen of the 16 inch !
What do you use to edit your videos
How many 4k H264 streams can you have at the same time on the screen and still have smooth playback? I guess you do not use Davinci Resolve, but from any editing software will be good :D.
I've tested M2 Mac Mini with 16GB of RAM and it's just 1 stream (ungraded).
The 16 inch feels small to me I couldn’t imagine having a smaller screen
I have the 14 inch base model but i feel i should have gone with 16 inch base macbook pro
Hi there, I recently bought a 14" M1 Pro Macbook pro with Mac OS Ventura pre installed along with 4tb internal ssd. I like it so far, but here are some of the things I have noticed and do not like it about it. First, the battery drains quick. and the second issue I have is whenever I want to to use an external hard drive and formatted in exfat or in ms-dos(fat) the macbook wants to run slow. and it's not with one particular external hard drive, it's with any other external hard drive formatted in exfat or ms-dos (fat). But if the external hard drive was formatted in APFS format then ist runs smoothly and quick. why is that? why in exfat or in ms-dos(fat) it runs slow?
You Spent $1000 for 4TB of Storage?!!? and STILL have issues?!!?😭 1:47
Best MacBook I ever used I love it and I will never sell it. This laptop can do it allll I have the 10 core one M1 Pro chip and 2 terra storage I love it I can’t praise it enough
What is the battery health?
16" pro will probably be the best investment if the m2 pro is as disappointing as rumors suggest.
I have the 14" MBP (lower specs of course) and thinking about getting the Studio Display. Question: does keeping the MBP plugged in to the Studio Display contribute to wearing down the battery life (since it's technically always charging when connected to the monitor)?
heard of aldante? great software
@@nike77155 get a mac mini with SD
I dont Think you should say anything about it is expensive bacause on My country it cost 2555 dollars for the base Line MacBook pro m1 pro nonner model
Is it worth snagging a slightly used (19 charge cycles, used for 6 months) base 14" for $1300 or is that too much?
id say its worth it. I got mine for 1750 and up and til now I have 19 charge cycles on it. its like brand new
@Greg @ 11:13, what riser you you use?
I just upgraded from my M1 Air, to the 14" Pro 16GB/1TB and got a killer deal on a refurbished one. It is literally like new and still has almost a year left of AppleCare. By far, it is the best laptop I have ever owned and so far takes everything I throw at it. Love your review!
Good decision, M1 is the best form M series so far. Most efficient. How do you like 14 vs 13 size, is 14" too heavy, larger to use in lap comfortably?
@@jutjub22 I think that the 14" is just what it needed and the size is perfect for traveling.
@@Jackiewicz64 Thanks, I am used to 13, perfect size, weight. I will see to try 14. Carrying weight is not a problem, just to be comfy to use in lap. I had 16", and it was pain to use anywhere but table.
What abt its ssd life ?
I kind of have regrets about my Ram choices. Believe it or not photo editing is the big culprit of being the ram hog. I’ve moved over to editing on Luminar Neo as my editor and man I’m constantly at 85-90% ram usage with just safari open and no RUclips videos. With RUclips running I’m always using insane swap usages. So I definitely will get 64gb next time since I’m doing more photography editing. But with video 16gb is still fine and I’ve never maxed out my ram even on 4k 6k high frame rate editing
I tend to run lots of VMs so I'm feeling the same way. 32gb would've been nice to at least get by so I don't have to worry about closing apps here and there.
@@tislumberjack3240 32gb is the sweet spot I should’ve went with but after watching so many RUclipsrs who primarily do video, I made my choice based on their experience. Lol I’m looking at you Max Tech. Haha but yea I’m still very happy with my purchase cause 80% of my business is video but just sucks when you have to do intense photo editing.
Are your photo’s/files large in size? I thinking of getting the base 14 for video and photo editing. As a hobbyist editor rather than heavy/intense editing.
@@2392youngmoney no. As far as MP I shoot with the R6 which I think is 20 so it’s not a lot. It’s just that modern photo editing software is extremely dependent on RAM. The effects don’t care to much about your graphics card. I would say even if your a hobbies t just upgrade to 32gb. Esp if you plan to use the A.I based effects which is the direction the industry is going in.
@@2392youngmoney Sort of. I run 3 VMs on my machine so I store files between 3 operating systems. With a 2tb portable drive it works out fine.
I think for your particular needs, the 14" was the right choice. Btw your assumptions about the battery health are not necessarily sound, my 16 M1 Pro about the same age as yours, is at 87% battery health. So take that for what it's worth.
I have the 2021 14” I got on sale last month at best buy for $15,999. My trade in value for the 2023 on apple website is $987.00 people keep your MacBooks for as long as you can.
This is true. I. I bought 2021 14” for $1300 couple to weeks ago. Apple trade in would give me $795.
I bought it because it was such a good deal but only 512 gb. I atleast need 1 or 2 TB
I may just use external ssd and buy big storage laptop in couple of years.
This version is that one you can keep forever, like 2012 macbook pro.
(Saying that for people who dont need render 4K videos, or something like that)
Honestly should be fine even for that lol!
Totally agree, but those people love the ultimate high end hardware 😂
Except this one is actually good and enjoyable to use, unlike 2012 MBP which was a terrible underpowered mess (thanks Intel) with a low-res screen.
you can just replace the battery man
Just as a data point, a 14-inch 8TB SSD, 64GB DRAM, M1 MAX 10/32 machine would go for $5900 plus tax. Apple does give you free shipping though.
LMAO
Man flies so much he said “my airplane” 😂
Interesting thing I am noticing with "long-term" reviews of the 14" & 16" MBP's; when they first came out, most RUclipsrs were suggesting 1 or maybe 2tb of storage. Almost all of the "long-term" reviews now are suggesting 8tb of storage. I bought my maxed-out 16" MBP with 8tb 3-months ago (from the Apple refurbished store), and have always preferred the maximum amount of storage available on MB's.
Im keeping my 512
We all know you’ll get the apple jet when it comes out
The most expensive thing apple sells is more storage space…besides the RAM it isn’t worth buying that extra storage. Just get an SSD. They are small and portable
Apple charges $900 extra if you choose the 4TB option in Australia...
$1250 in Canada which is nothing short of a rip-off in my opinion. However, 1TB is fine for me.
I really don't understand how video editors are using up to 32 gbs of ram when not exporting. As well as 4tb of storage and running out? That is what external drives are for. Insane how people don't clear up their drives as well as what is the point of leaving tons of things open, you really only use one thing at any given time. No reason to go above 1tb of storage and 32 gb of ram straight up
I will add a “yes and” to your opening statement. People tend to hold onto MacBooks longer than other laptops (cough-cough PC) I am a Mac Tech and I see people still using 2012 MacBook Pros with the onboard DVD. I run on an iPad M2 as my primary device and still have a 2014 13” MacBook Pro that I plan to replace after the (hopefully) March Apple announcement. The 2014 is a machine I rebuilt from dead. Well worth the $400 I have into it.
I just upgraded from the base 13” MacBook m1 Air to the 14” MacBook Pro as I was beating up the air with my heavy multitasking. I Love this laptop, it is buttery smooth and not too big. Great job Apple !
Still the best Laptop on the market imo
Fffffffff
Time is flying way too goddamn fast.
8tb?! Lol omg that’s beyond
I took home the 14”, and loved it. I was intrigued by the bigger size and battery of the 16”, and traded in the 14 for the 16”. For me, the 16 was too big. I might as well just have an iMac instead of carrying around the mass of the 16. I think the 14 is the sweet spot.
I ended up returning the 16, and am waiting for the M2 Pro 14” before committing.
do u think 14 inch is better than 16inch? 14inch is too small or is fine?
@@fphelipe 14 didn’t feel too small to me.
nice shirt
You don’t get apple care for dents and scrapes, you get apple care for external accidents that could genuinely destroy your computer or software failures that render your laptop unusable. When I had the 13’ M1 MBP, a failure during the update process rendered it completely unusable and it couldn’t be restored by another Mac. I was stuck with a 1400 paperweight that would have cost me 600 dollars to get fixed at the Apple Store had I not paid for apple care.
I can't think of a phrase I hate hearing more than 'form factor'
You scared me with your title. I bought the 14 inch base model for $1599 and after seeing your title I thought OMG did I waste my money???
EDIT: finished watching and man was I worried lol. I think for lightweight user who looked for best laptop and longer software support and longevity, my choice was perfect :D
6:14 System data 1tb 😂😂😂😂😂
5000 Buckaroos Wooow! That’s an ultimate nuclear damage to anyone’s pockets
Yeah, I purchased the 16 inch model but really maxed out (your specs but with 8TB) in space grey. It is very fancy but fantastic in every aspect. And with the bigger model the notch isn’t as annoying as it is with the smaller 14 inch…like with the 13 Pro to 13 Pro Max. For traveling my maxed out final intel model MacBook Pro 13 inch is perfect and even more compact than your 14 and also has 4 TB but no ugly notch…so best of both worlds by having both worlds 😄
I use my 14 m1 pro for 1+ year& I have 305 battery cycles and 88% battery health left. I use a laptop mostly from the battery.
Is 88% ok? Not sure but there were some issues reported on 14” battery drain!
88% after one year is not good, that's why I'm considering the m2 air
@@arinansel8529 Ok, hopefully I wasn’t wrong. I’m also looking at M2 MBP or Air bc of the same issue.
My 16” has 303 cycles and 95% battery life 🔋
@@sunitjoshi3573 I am using my 14 mac pro every day for 15 months, 14-15 h/day only on battery. My wife is using m1 air and after year she has 94% with 150 cycles.
Imagine being so out of touch that you think 15 months is an old laptop. 🥴
Can you please tell me your M1 pro 14" battery cycle and health? I think mine is draining very fast. Please reply.....
they say to keep the battery charged between 20-80%. arthur winer has a good video on this
@@lalalalong Can you share your macbook battery charging cycle and battery health?
14" is king, forget the rest.
I don't care if new Macs will be released soon. If it's good enough for what I want to use it for that's all that matters. Same with TVs, phones, tablets or graphics cards. Staying 'up to date' with tech is impossible for you wallet.
Can I get a MacBook for school
Hi!
Yo!
@@GregsGadgets I love the vids keep it up!
Wow, i wish i can buy something like this to pursue my music career o_o, prolly feels good to be like you
Except there's already a new M2 MacBook Pro 14" for released for 2023.
Your ssd will probably die after a year or two, and then you will be left with a glued brick
😘😘👌👌
Indirectly you comments on internal storage make an argument to become successful on youtube, like “then you don’t need to care about immensely overpaying Apple…’. 😂😂😂🎉
Yiiiioooooo
Hey!
Max + 14" = not a clever combo...
Batteries age, but 8% in a year is not normal enough....Probably lithium is long deposited at the cathode of the cells due to constant charging.. Keep the battery at a normal DOD rate and it will be better.. All info is stored here : www.ijee.ieefoundation.org/vol11/issue2/IJEE_02_v11n2.pdf
