The new M2 Air with its thin bezels, equally bright screen, 1080p webcam, MagSafe and extra usable port while charging for the same price for the same spec just makes so much more sense. It’s even $100 cheaper if you get the 8 Core GPU, but identical to this Pro when you get a 10 Core GPU, but that’s still a win for the Air over this 2016 era laptop.
I feel like if Apple keeps releasing the 13 inch MacBook Pro, they should just rename it to the MacBook SE, since it seems to be following the format of the iPhone SE. The “MacBook” was an ultralight machine, and this 13 inch is not that.
Thanks for showing Real World tests such as opening Google Docs and spreadsheets. This is far more useful than just showing benchmarks, which just about every other RUclips channel does. Again, thanks ❤️👍
.... that's not true. MaxTech shows off both benchmarks and real world tests. Better yet they have chapters for everything they do, so you can skip to the specific real world usage that you want to see... the verge doesn't even use chapters forcing you to watch the whole video. subpar quality
The comparison in terms of pricing to the 14" is also weird. Like for the 512GB model of the 14" you only pay $100 more and get a WAY better machine in every possible way. And even with 1TB it's "only" about $300 more which isn't that much at the level of money we're talking here to begin with. Like is seriously someone considering an 13" MBP that's objectively way worse just to save 15% short term?
I heard that over 80% of people buying the Air and MB Pro 13 just get the base config, so comparing to the MB Pro 14 is moot for the vast majority and really pointless other than if you are agenda driven. Most people that can afford the $2000 MB Pro 14 will just buy it as they need the extra power, and most people just wanting an ultrabook will just bag the cheapest base version. So your comparison is lost on me as it makes zero sense and is more like trying to be negative than make sense. I buy an XPS 13 because I want cheap entry and do not need max specs but if I booted and suited that up it would come close to the XPS 15, so does that make the best selling XPS 13 a waste of money? No.
@@chidorirasenganz Close in CPU stats only. It still has half the memory bandwidth (100gb/s for m2 and 200gb/s for m1 pro) which is significant. There are still an additional 6 GPU cores on the m1 pro as well. And the XDR display that performs like an OLED without the risk of burn in is certainly worth the bump up alone.
That’s fair. The pricing is only within a few hundred dollars of each other. In my region the price is ~230 USD which is a bit higher but your point still stands. I think that’s the strategy that apple is intentionally doing, which is to have a more powerful model within a reasonable “up-sell” price so that people will go “for x amount of money I’m getting a computer that’s way better so I’ll go with that one”.
Processor updates are iterative, and speed and efficiency increments are a good thing. No one should be upgrading their computers annually anyway. But this MacBook should just be killed anyway it makes no sense alongside the new air.
@@The_MEMEphis Imo you are both right. Apple probably had too much m1 pro chassis because of how great of a deal m1 air was. And it's also to make m2 more appealing coz m2 air being better than m2 pro seems to be quite a steal lol
It didn’t say which app was used. Final Cut will probably be faster on M2 but if it’s something like Premiere or Resolve, it’s probably not optimized yet -Edit : She says she used Premiere later in the video, I should probably watch all of it before commenting lol
@Monica Chin you don't think it was worth talking about this at the same time you showed the graph? You should have spoken about this at the time you showed the graph otherwise we are left to asume your stuffed up the chart. Instead you make a brief comment 2 and a half minutes later but still don't even really address it, you simply say "we didn't see a sizeable difference in export time" - according to your graph M1 took 328sec to export while M2 took 429sec to export, that means M2 is almost 25% slower than M1, I'd say that is pretty sizeable! Either you stuffed up the graph or you stuffed up addressing the anomaly properly.
I think you should have made it clearer that almost everyone should just get either the new MacBook Air or the 14-inch MacBook Pro. Weird niche, this 13-inch MacBook Pro.
The video software probably just isn't optimized for the new processor yet, it doesn't know how to use the M2 the same way it does the M1 which will probably be fixed easily in an update
great review as always monica! :) this machine actually feels a little odd, i gotta say. Performance-wise its not the best their offering, also its not the most portable one. On the outside it looks and feels like my 2020 Intel Macbook Pro and feels outdated compared to the rest of their lineup. So I guess its a no-brainer to not recommend it? Or is it just sitting their serving as upselling?
The first 8 minutes of this video before mentioning the air seems a bit superfluous. It's basically just saying that the m2 mb pro still doesn't make sense for most actual "pros" compared to the 14inch, but is good for bursty common workloads... So MacBook air buyers?
@@andyH_England Thats why I specified the first 8 minutes. Most people don't watch videos til the end, so you need to offer good consumer advice, you can't leave the most important consideration for the product til the end. Yeah, this laptop isn't exciting, but instead of spending 8 minutes talking about how it's basically as fast as the old one doing menial tasks, why not compare it to a similar windows laptop, or an iPad, something people buying this might be interested in. The XPS 13 plus literally just came out and is such an obvious comparison
I love how she just skimmed right over the Touch Bar. It's such a nonevent it doesn't even need to be mentioned, not even once. I know this computer get's a lot of slack for it's old design, but it's still excellent in terms of performance and battery life.
Just got a refurbished M1 Pro MacBook Pro binned 14 as the difference was about $250 against a similarly specced M2 Air, and $150 against a similarly specced M2 MacBook Pro 13. I think the learning here is they are all great computers with some small caveats for each (M2 MacBook Pro has the best battery, M1 Pro MacBook Pro has the best performance and screen for an upcharge, M2 Air has the best design and portability). If your minimum is 512GB / 16RAM, that 14 M1 Pro becomes hard to resist, at base the question is between design/portability/screen (M2 Air) and the battery (M2 Pro 13).
I seriously think this should be called the "MacBook Pro SE." It's got the touch bar and has the same classic MacBook colors, so basically it does the same thing as the iPhone and Apple Watch SE- put newer chips in old bodies. Plus, it's pretty cheap for a MacBook Pro.
I’m sad that I didnt do my research on the m2 macbook pro where i could have bought the air which has better speakers, 1080 camera, and a newer design. But over all its still a good computer at a okay price.
reviewing like people upgrade their laptops every single year. Of course the changes/ updates are not going to be drastic, they are just refreshing their previous models with slightly better components. No one is going to upgrade their macbooks each year, there might be some, but they are outliers.
Very disapointed in what Apple did to the Macbook Pro 13”. They really could have given the air’s redesign to MBP 13” instead. It would have made better sense since it copies the MBP 14” and 16” designs
I think endgame for the Air is most likely a 13 and 15 inch ultra thin and light form factor while the Pro keeps that 14 and 16 inch. It's unclear why exactly the 13" exists today, tbh
I think it’s just for the moment (like the iMac Pro which I believe got replaced by the Mac Pro, and got discontinued shortly before Mac Studio launched) as apple has been reportedly developing a 15” MacBook Air, which i believe will replace this laptop.
I was looking forward to a new MacBook Pro but it seems like I’m keeping the m1 for another year or two cuz I’m not going to trade anything for that touchbar.
I wonder how Apple is going to handle marketing chips after the M1. The M1 SoC for a computer was a big deal and SoC bringing a lot of performance increases. Then the M1 Pro and Max so have some real burners for procumer level people. M1 for for your typical user is a point of diminishing return, faster chips are going to less and less noticeable. Even moving into procumer users and the video heavy improvement are closing in for them too, but they would like some more rendering speed. So Apple with it SoC has a Marketing issue how do you sell faster systems when you current system have already hit the point of diminishing returns and further improvements will be harder and harder sell.
By forcing their new chips down people throats look at what they did with this iPad update. That’s always been apple way of selling new products by abandoning support for their old products and keeping the newest features for the new products.
There was misinformation I believe in your video about the battery life of the M2 Macbook pro is a lot better than the M1 Macbook pro because according to Apple itself their battery life is the same! would you please clarify for me? (This was at the 7:16 timestamp of your video)
wow... a 60 point increase in single core performance in just 2 years, and just 300 euros more expensive. If that isn't a good deal I don't know what is!
I really felt for Monica when she went into the M1 family naming rant. Yep, it is frustrating, and as someone who people turn to whenever they think of buying new Macs, I can totally relate. 😬
the answer for this product is simple. it’s macbook gov/mil/edu. it’s not for the consumers. in order to meet the RFP requirement, the product needs to be publicly available. also needs to be new enough to last yet old enough so it’s easy/cheap to maintain. think about the global gov/mil/edu balk purchase. aapl is making the right decision.
In my opinion I think I most people can get by with base model laptops, and those that can't already know that and know what they are going to get. The base model M1 MBP & MBA 13" is more than enough for most people. Its not worth upgrading to any of the M2 base models unless you want the extra ports that will come with the Air. I use mine for casual gaming (WoW), RUclips, safari, websites that won't work on my iPad, various tasks you would generally have a "household" computer for. I bought my M1 MBP 13" on Easter weekend for $1099 only because for $100 more I get the fan and for my basic use case it makes sense as opposed to spending $300 more for the fan. My basic use case is for my casual gaming. I play WoW pretty much the only game I play and it can handle M+ and raids as long as its in small groups which is what I prefer anyways, and I only casually jump into both since I don't have the time to do much more. There are dungeons and bosses that will kick the fan on but the game remains consistent. In open world bosses that changes but thats expected (far more people, and it still never pushes past 87°C and fans never have even reached 2k RPM) and once the boss is over it cools off so fast it doesn't really matter. Edit - on my MBP the fans do turn on but I have never heard them even during heavy usage (gaming). I monitor it all with TG Pro
Could you have dressed more appropriately before recording this video? Now I have peace of mind when I say that I stopped watching this channel because of this kind of attitude. I miss Dieter's videos.
I ordered this MacBook for a few reasons, not a fan of the thickness of the 14in, actually like the Touch Bar as well portability. My use case is general office productivity.
starts off by everything is the same, then goes on how m2 is faster and better. states no difference in m2 but etc etc etc lmao so there is a difference lmaoo. is this a joke. m2 is better than the m1. simple. comparing a base honda to a fully loaded honda, fully loaded will always be better. this channel is a joke
Windows users are very jealous about Macbook M1 and M2 battery life. Windows laptop (even Ultrabook high end) battery life too short compare to Macbook with M1 and M2 chip. Anyone feel like me? Come on Microsoft, Windows users need long lasting battery life 🤣😂🙏🏼
Great Video, thanks for that. I'd appreciate if You can do a Disk speed test. I noticed Your review model is the One with 1TB SS. Some reviewers with the “ Base Model " Configurations are seeing lesser disk speeds than the M1 Base model. It would be nice to see if we can have a comparison. Thank You.
she said nothing about how M2 has dedicated encode decoders for pro res while the m1 does not. this is a big deal for people that work with pro res but do know want to spend the extra $ to get a 14 or 16" pro.
The M2's GPU is 35 percent faster than that of the M1, according to Apple. But the M1 Pro, with up to 16 GPU cores and way more memory bandwidth, is about twice as fast as the M1. So expect the M1 Pro to still come in around 40 percent faster than the M2.
I hate the notch and will never buy Apple product that has one, but buying a classic yet dated design in 2022 at this pricepoint is... uninspiring. So I guess it's cheapest possible MBA M1 from Ebay for me.
I think people forgot there's people who actually prefer touch bar, or have not enough money "save some" and buy better MBP. For the second case people suggesting MBA but, why? Why suggest Air to the person who moved to Pro?
hmm the gpu won't matter because you can't game on a mac anyways i think i'm sticking to the macbook air m1 but... so tempting... maybe in the future they'll improve mac gaming

Not the base versions. Base versions have over $600 price differences.
Is the graph for the 4k export at 2:34 reversed or is the M2 worse at a 4k export
M2 is worse it seems.
I assume they mixed up the m1 and m2 results for that one
Was the slower 4K export on the M2 a typo, figured with the media engine it’d beat m1
Came to ask the same thing
It definitely is. I'm getting anywhere from +15% faster on the M2 for standard h.264 stuff, to almost 50% faster on the M2 for ProRes footage.
Yep really hoping that’s a typo!
2:36 Why does the M2 take longer to export 4k? Or maybe...who's the new editor over there?

Some reviewers with the “ Base Model " Configurations are seeing lesser disk speeds than the M1 Base model.
It would be nice to see if we can have a comparison.
Thank You.
Very disappointing review. Unclear comparisons and poor explanations.
Brilliant intro 🤣🤣🤣
What if I don't need the GPU for work? I still have to pay for the GPU...
but M1 doesn't support multiple external monitors, that's really bad
So she is saying apple should not have updated the macbook pro and just left it.
Could've just shown FCP export times.
Does this video suffer from heavy compression artifacts or is it just me?
Making photo black and white in photoshop? that is the test? come on
Bring back Dieter this reviewer is terrible 😂
This lady reminds me a little bit of Rose from The Last Jedi
…. The real world test was a google doc?
Ait I’m out
This machine would have benefited by having two more USB-C ports on the right side. Just saying
Why does the video have soo much noise in most the clips?
your editor forgot denoiser in premier pro. its a bit noisy
Whats the animation playing at 7:47 looks awesome !
Everyone should get the Air. Case closed.
thank you for the real world examples
Som e of us prefer the Mac with the Touchbar.
she said nothing about how M2 has dedicated encode decoders for pro res while the m1 does not. this is a big deal for people that work with pro res but do know want to spend the extra $ to get a 14 or 16" pro.
How are programs like Avid on the M2
The M2's GPU is 35 percent faster than that of the M1, according to Apple. But the M1 Pro, with up to 16 GPU cores and way more memory bandwidth, is about twice as fast as the M1. So expect the M1 Pro to still come in around 40 percent faster than the M2.
WOW! Fantastic video. Thank you so much.
I hate the notch and will never buy Apple product that has one, but buying a classic yet dated design in 2022 at this pricepoint is... uninspiring. So I guess it's cheapest possible MBA M1 from Ebay for me.
Honestly, it's for touch bar fans.
I think people forgot there's people who actually prefer touch bar, or have not enough money "save some" and buy better MBP. For the second case people suggesting MBA but, why? Why suggest Air to the person who moved to Pro?
Watching from Macbook air 2015
hmm the gpu won't matter because you can't game on a mac anyways
i think i'm sticking to the macbook air m1 but... so tempting... maybe in the future they'll improve mac gaming
