These products are literally out of my budget but I never skipped a single second of your all videos.... Your channel Is my all time favourite tech channel #LoveYouVadimLoveYouMaxLoveYouMaxTechChannel ❤️ Thanks for bringing such amazing contents for us 🙏
After watching lot of comparisons it sounds right... The 14" model is perfect working fully with the basic M1 Pro 8c/14c. If you put the $300 extra for the 10/16 it works still great but maybe you prefer put another $200 extra for the 16" model The 8c/14c was more than enough for me and I prefer the 14" size so I preferred to use the money on improving RAM and SSD
Giveaway Entry... I'm getting into college this month, i don't have a laptop I'd be more than happy if i'd win this giveaway... By the way, your detailed comparisons are unmatched by any other yt channel... Hope i win... 😢
@@alphanguyeen9560 I am not sure about both heat vent that being blow on screen will cause any issue in long run or not, so less cores less heat would better and prefer silent fan than loud fan noise.
I appreciate all of the comparative review videos you guys have been pumping out between the various M1 Pro and M1 Max configurations. Seriously, THANK YOU. I've been going back and forth for like, a week and still can't decide on which model and configuration to get. But you guys are definitely helping me narrow down my selection and hopefully I make a purchasing decision soon lol.
@@hottroddinn Lol, I did! I bought the 14 inch MacBook Pro base model. My favorite thing about it was the screen, i's sooooo good. I ended up returning it though and went back to my M1 MacBook Pro 13inch because a new laptop wasn't really a necessity for me at the time, but now my 13 inch M1 is starting to feel sluggish and the battery drains a lot faster, so now I'm ready for an upgrade. I initially had my eyes on the Mac Studio but with the recent announcement of M2 and the completely redesigned MacBook Air dropping next month, I now have my eyes on that lol. I care more about RAM than storage space, so I'm planning to order the base model M2 MacBook Air (in one of the pretty new colors) with 256GB storage and I'll probably upgrade the RAM from 8GB to the max 24GB and the GPU from 8 cores to 10. I would suggest waiting until next month for the M2 devices to drop but if you need a more powerful machine, a maxed out M1 MacBook Pro 14in/16in, or a Mac Studio would probably be the way to go.
@@nissan_skyline reading your comment it seems like you should have just kept the 14 inch, needing an upgrade after 7 months means you bought the wrong laptop I think
Another video showing the things I truly care about! I want to see the subtle differences of spec upgrades, not just the difference between a 14” base model and a 16” maxed out. This channel is the absolute best!
Great comparison! Most youtubers are focusing on the most powerful models, but it is really interesting to see how the 8-core model performs! Keep up the good job!
I have a M1 Air and I thought before launch that I might switch. They are nice machines but they do not have me quite excited enough. Maybe for my next purchase in a couple of years.
I think I rather put my money on extra storage and stick with the base model! Great job thanks for all those amazing comparison! Best M1 test so far as usual!
@@4moretech The only thing I would worry about, if you're truly doing "pro" tasks... after multiple OS version updates, how will the 16GB perform 2 years down the road.
Would have loved to see the battery difference in the end of all test! The 14’ inch is such an amazing package! Amazing performance in a small form factor! 😄 Thanks for the video!
Considering the 14” for graphic design, so for me an extra $200 to get photos exported 20 seconds faster is not worth it. That $200 would be better spent to double the storage to 1tb.
I did get the base 14" m1 pro, honeslty best laptop ive ever had. I was using it and an ipad pro and switched to android so I am selling it and switched to a surface pro 9. The surface pro is probably the best two in one, however its average at being a laptop and average at being a tablet. The two things I miss when compared to the macbook are battery life and the mini led display on the macbook.
Yes. This laptop deserves "The laptop of the year." Because how the single chip can ouperform RTX 3080 and at the same time, consumes 100W less power than "High-end pc laptop graphics"
I would agree with you for the simple point that overtime the software will be more optimized for M1. Which will only make even the lower end that much quicker. In my experience as a creative if you can do what you want and it’s quicker than just go for it. You don’t need it lightning fast you need it to work well and to be efficient. these machines are very efficient especially when not powered from the wall. That is huge. I’m not a gamer and I understand the huge difference there but it also makes a difference when you’re working on things and when you unplug a laptop and you’re down to like 25 to 30% I mean as far as power not necessarily percentage of charging. It’s just it’s it’s game changer but I think we have to stop looking at it as future proofing by getting a more powerful model and look at it almost backwards to say as the software gets better you don’t need the supercharged one
If we save everything on clouds nowadays, why do you think an upgraded SSD is necessary? I currently have the base model and am considering the 1T since I've been hearing this, so I"m just curious your thoughts.
@@Tiffany-my3zj That is a great point. I started using dropbox again because of a client and I had it in the early days of online only and it was horrible it really worked bad. It seems to be working really well now I have everything online only including videos and it works great I have not had an issue I had to reboot once but that’s normal computer stuff. That is a great point if that works and you can set it up like that then you don’t need a huge you know SSD
It’s incredible. Seems like if anyone was even considering the 14” model should just get the base model but with the faster charger because performance differences from unbinned & max chip run really hot and loud. So just makes sense if you are considering more performance to get 16” at that point. Just my opinion, take it or leave it lol.
This was just the information I was looking for! But I do still have questions. How would a 10-core 32GB perform against an 8-core 16 GB machine? And, how would an 8-core 32GB perform against a 10-core 16GB machine? Would the differences be significant enough or would we continue to see a slight increase?
I’m actually mind blown with the base model, like it’s crazy to think how good we thought the M1 was back when that first released and then there’s this
Great comparison video! ❤️ I’d go for 8 core over 10 because….. - Low fan noise - Base model is fantastic for most people. - 10 core is louder than the 8. - Barely any difference that warrants the extra spend for the 10 core. - Probably upgrade the ssd instead! - Save money - Definitely going for the more silent 8 core option :). Thanks guys! Keep these great videos coming.
@@thekwoka4707 I saw this in the review comparisons. Similar processes running on the 8 and 10, the 10 was louder. I guess as you said 8 does less work? Maybe that’s good for less noise :)
I got the base model MacBook Pro, I upgraded from a mid-2014 MacBook Pro and have been using this new one for 20 days! I love it and I'm happy I didn't spend the extra $300! hope this helps anyone!
The question that people should be asking themselves isn’t “How much more performance do I get for the money?”, but rather, “Is the base model enough for me?”.
@@toptiertech7291 Indeed, the M1 would be enough for my use as well. The only reason I’m going for the base 14” is because of the additional features. Not the CPU/GPU. The screen, ports, webcam, keyboard, charger, etc are worth the extra for me personally. The price difference between a 13” MBP with 16GB and 512 SSD isn’t all that crazy of a jump compared to the new base model. I don’t think that it would be wise to buy a 13” if you need more than 8GB of ram or more than 256 in SSD ATM.
Yep! Now that I've seen these 4K H.264 export comparisons, the GPU-binned base model M1 MacBook Air 1TB with a DIY thermal upgrade -- shown by Max Tech -- is enough for my light video editing.
@@p0p4 oh yeah. Definitely. I was cool with 8GB of Ram and 256GB of storage. I keep all my important stuff on external drives anyway. But you’re right about that
Love the fact you guys are doing all the comparisons between the different options available. They really help to decide which model and options to buy. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate how in depth and well thought these reviews are. There’s definitely a lot to consider and this channel is easing my anxiety over choosing the right one.
Thanks for a great video. I am no expert but I am intrigued by the following issue: CPU performance tests also to a certain extend, are influenced by the RAM performance. I understood that system performance is determined by 3 elements: CPU / GPU cores/speed + RAM capacity + bandwith. In this test you’ve compared 8/14 vs 10/16 cores. In. Another video you’ve compared 16 vs 32 gb which makes sense. But what if in test 1 the benefits from the unbind version are not visible due to RAM limits. Or vice versa, perhaps the 32 machine couldn’t benefit over 16 gb model due to cpu restrictions. It would be interesting to see memory usage when you do the low vs high cores test?
Really interesting - the binned model is quieter and has lower power draw while delivering most of the performance. Does this mean it should get better battery life? So it may be a better choice rather than just a cheaper choice for some.
Great point and of course. I know you should probably not use the phrase of course a lot because then that means something else could change. The thing that nobody or hardly anybody talks about that as more software becomes M1 optimized it will only make things better. I’m a graphic designer and adobe has optimized Photoshop illustrator and mostly everything. What they have not optimized is after effects and you can tell because it’s a memory hog and not being optimized with Rosetta it really slows things down. Once they optimize it and I’m sure they will optimize it more over time it might even be us the complete opposite of future proofing. I’ve heard so many of these tech reviewer‘s in the past talk about future proofing. Any Intel world I think that was understandable and quite frankly prudent. In the M1 world I don’t think it is unless you are using it for something crazy. I mean it’s like the argument of like should I get the 14 inch or the 16 inch for $200 more. It all comes down to need. Of course if you can get the bigger screen and you’re not lugging it around all the time with her and Dar. But if you travel a lot and you can use an iPad Pro as a second screen do you really need it
One of The Best Tech channel I have ever seen! These comparisions videos help a lot... You & your team are really working hard literally for hours to make a single video with that high level quality content just to provide us the right information! Loving it! May you get 1 Million subscribers soon... Thank you!
In NL the prices for 512gb 16gb are Base 2250 10c/14c 24780 10c/16c 2520. So the extra upgrade for the two gpu cores is “only” 40 bucks which makes the unbind cpu bind gpu a bit of odd choice
Thanks so much for this comparison test on the 14 inch MBP’s, just the one I wanna see! Though there’s just a small typo on the Logic Pro music production slide; it should be tracks - higher is better.
Wow! To be honest, I’m quite surprised. That makes deciding so much easier😂 I’d be curious to see a performance comparison of a more intense video project with more layers and filters!
18:16 "...or, upgrade the RAM from 16 gigs to 32 gigs, and that might actually give you a real difference..." Didn't you literally just test that in the last video? And it didn't make much of a difference. lol
Thank you so much for these in depth reviews. I’m an architecture student with an older Intel MacBook so I’ve been struggling trying to figure out which one to upgrade to but you’ve really helped narrowed it down!
Logic Test was 47% increase in performance. One of the only test where you did not add this percentage to the conclussion when it had the most massive differences of all test ? :)
I would stay at the base model, but upgrade to a 10-core CPU anyway for not only the faster 96W charger, but also just in case Apple decides 8-core CPUs aren't good enough anymore and they stop updating those machines. No need to worry about the GPU, unless you feel the need for the extra cores for whatever reason. The key thing is to think long term when you're configuring these machines, since Mac computers are not user upgradable.
Absolutely incredible tools. Having an arm processor be able to yield this much performance for everyday tasks is mind blowing. It makes me have big buyers remorse for my 1000watt energy hog threadripper pc. I’m glad these exist. My next computer will definitely be in this lineup, or similar. I feel like it’s the more responsible decision for me to consume less power. Can’t wait to upgrade!
Guys! Every time when I want to make purchase of any Apple products I'm visiting your website and sorry guys but all my purchases are on you! But I never regret one of them. Your tests and specially ones as "don't make these mistakes with ordering" are great. Also inviting Lady to your Max Tech is good move to get idea of the different point of view. Thanks and keep the flame. Regards Piotr
These are the best comparison videos to choose between the new M1 Pro MBPs. I wish you included battery performance in this review between the test configs. What percentage were the batteries at when you finished the test?
Seems probably the binned model would be fine for most people although maybe its just better to get the full M1 Pro a little pro users, at least instead of the RAM upgrade as per your other video comparing 16/32 GB. Thanks for doing these videos, it really helps people to select the right configuration.
Thanks for the effort you’re putting into these comparisons. They really help with making informed decisions. I have a couple of questions: while the lower spec’ed models are likely to be more than enough power for most use cases in 2021, will this hold true in 2026 and onwards? Many power users purchasing a MBP today may want to sweat it over five or more years. Will the extra money spent today save money in the future? Thanks again.
@@_amintrouble After a 100 years of consideration, went for 8 Core + 16 + 1TB. 1TB was non-negotiable, but paying almost 20% of the computer price to double the RAM was not worth it... specially considering that it was already stretching the budget.
THIS is the comparison video I was waiting for! Thank you! Very interesting that the fan noise was different between the two. But what I want to know is if there was any difference in battery life? BTW, I would really appreciate the 14" MBP!
The whole week of analysis, comparisons, recommendations on value for money is very aptly covered by the hard work and incredible presentation of team Max Tech. Thank you All the best.
Wow, $300 more for just a small extra performance and lower battery time. Just as the 16GB vs 32 GB, the cheapest model is already performing exceptionally.
i’m heading off to college to study computer science soon so i would definitely appreciate the laptop haha. but the turnover of apple being the overpriced laptop to now looking like a reasonable value option is completely mind boggling to me.
I still went for 10 core model since I'm a programmer and those little performance gain will definitely accumulate :) also, I won't be spending my time in the future thinking "Ah, what if I bought 10 core model that time!"
I went with 10 core 16gb ram 1tb storage. I also wanted to go for 32gb but 16 has been more than enough for me actually! I’d recommend my spec to you as well. I do web dev mainly tho.
Another excellent M1 test/comparison and review MaxT! 👍 It's VERY clear now that the 8 core works much the same and quieter with only a marginal increase in performance on the 10 core & only for some Apps! 🤔 As a result it is essentially the same as the 10 core except maybe for some uses! This Real World testing CONFIRMS it? 👌 So we won't be paying Apple the extra $300 for another 2 cores and instead be putting it towards a bigger SSD? 😃 Killer comparison/test and answers this important 8/10 core question once and for ALL on these new M1 systems! 👏
good video Just an advice, when u compare similar looking laptops please mark each one of them for easier recognition. For e.g. C8 & C10 next to trackpad
I do the same export test with my base M2 Pro , but also more complex (4k timeline 5 min from GH5 camera with luts, various effects, transitions, flare, speed ramp, 180 fps, 60fps) in faster encode "computer" (like your) , 2.37 min. With M1 Pro 8-core and 10-core, 2.55 min. So, with base M2 Pro you have better performance of M1 Pro 10-core, at a significantly lower price (as Luke Miani also demonstrated)
I am having an early 2015 model that I bought back in 2016, it serves/served me well, but I feel like its time to upgrade mostly because I recently changed career to IT as a software engineer so this upgrade is well needed. I love this comparisons, it helps deciding which direction I want to go when choosing Mac Book specifications. Thanks a lot.
Honestly, the graphics boost is not that important, however at the same time you get 27% processing boost, which in my opinion is what really matters here...

no please dont trust apple's vague claims. I have seen some people comparing both but m1 max only matches performance of RTX 3060 not 3080.
It actually depends on gfx bench it beats the 3080, gfx bench is optimized for metal
In other words it is as fast or faster when the application is optimized for both metal and Apple Silicon

In this regard the "normal" M1 Macbooks are still very much so also more than enough for most people.

I’d go for 8 core over 10 because…..
- Low fan noise
- Base model is fantastic for most people.
- 10 core is louder than the 8.
- Barely any difference that warrants the extra spend for the 10 core.
- Probably upgrade the ssd instead!
- Save money
- Definitely going for the more silent 8 core option :).

8 isn't quieter. It just does less work.
So the 10 would only be louder at the times you're doing work beyond what the 8 could do.
@@thekwoka4707 I saw this in the review comparisons. Similar processes running on the 8 and 10, the 10 was louder.
I guess as you said 8 does less work? Maybe that’s good for less noise :)
This is the comparison I’ve been waiting for. The 14” model fits my needs for portability
Waiting for 14" Max vs 16" Max for ultimate 8K editing & rendering in Resolve
Go for 16 that better cooling really adds up
I'd like to see this comparison as well.
This seems like the series final and I can’t wait
It's a relief to know that the base model is the sweet spot for programming
I got the base model MacBook Pro, I upgraded from a mid-2014 MacBook Pro and have been using this new one for 20 days! I love it and I'm happy I didn't spend the extra $300! hope this helps anyone!
How is it in use now? Do you still use it and for what purposes?
The question that people should be asking themselves isn’t “How much more performance do I get for the money?”, but rather, “Is the base model enough for me?”.
Yes. Because for 99% of people. The M1 MBP is more than enough
@@toptiertech7291 Indeed, the M1 would be enough for my use as well. The only reason I’m going for the base 14” is because of the additional features. Not the CPU/GPU. The screen, ports, webcam, keyboard, charger, etc are worth the extra for me personally. The price difference between a 13” MBP with 16GB and 512 SSD isn’t all that crazy of a jump compared to the new base model. I don’t think that it would be wise to buy a 13” if you need more than 8GB of ram or more than 256 in SSD ATM.
Yep! Now that I've seen these 4K H.264 export comparisons, the GPU-binned base model M1 MacBook Air 1TB with a DIY thermal upgrade -- shown by Max Tech -- is enough for my light video editing.
@@p0p4 oh yeah. Definitely. I was cool with 8GB of Ram and 256GB of storage. I keep all my important stuff on external drives anyway. But you’re right about that
Vadim seems so damn hyped about these comparisons!! His energy is just contagious!!
Instead of more cores, I would prefer a larger SSD or more RAM.
More RAM in their tests saved only a few seconds
ruclips.net/video/gqiYSt4nAFs/видео.html
Love the fact you guys are doing all the comparisons between the different options available. They really help to decide which model and options to buy. Keep up the great work!
14" is the way to go! and I love how the binned model handles thermo - I rather go with less noise and a little bit performance hit!
I appreciate how in depth and well thought these reviews are. There’s definitely a lot to consider and this channel is easing my anxiety over choosing the right one.
with all the calls we have to sit through these days, I would honestly trade a minute fraction of the performance for near-absolute silcence.
Thanks for a great video. I am no expert but I am intrigued by the following issue: CPU performance tests also to a certain extend, are influenced by the RAM performance. I understood that system performance is determined by 3 elements: CPU / GPU cores/speed + RAM capacity + bandwith. In this test you’ve compared 8/14 vs 10/16 cores. In. Another video you’ve compared 16 vs 32 gb which makes sense. But what if in test 1 the benefits from the unbind version are not visible due to RAM limits. Or vice versa, perhaps the 32 machine couldn’t benefit over 16 gb model due to cpu restrictions. It would be interesting to see memory usage when you do the low vs high cores test?
@@efwewfwef1549 I did
Really interesting - the binned model is quieter and has lower power draw while delivering most of the performance. Does this mean it should get better battery life? So it may be a better choice rather than just a cheaper choice for some.
I guess the up to Xhr battery is already based on the base model.
@@agentk9857 Yes you can see it on the website!
I’ll be curious if as more things get optimized for M1 youll start to see a bigger difference between the models as time goes on.
Great point and of course. I know you should probably not use the phrase of course a lot because then that means something else could change. The thing that nobody or hardly anybody talks about that as more software becomes M1 optimized it will only make things better. I’m a graphic designer and adobe has optimized Photoshop illustrator and mostly everything. What they have not optimized is after effects and you can tell because it’s a memory hog and not being optimized with Rosetta it really slows things down. Once they optimize it and I’m sure they will optimize it more over time it might even be us the complete opposite of future proofing. I’ve heard so many of these tech reviewer‘s in the past talk about future proofing. Any Intel world I think that was understandable and quite frankly prudent. In the M1 world I don’t think it is unless you are using it for something crazy. I mean it’s like the argument of like should I get the 14 inch or the 16 inch for $200 more. It all comes down to need. Of course if you can get the bigger screen and you’re not lugging it around all the time with her and Dar. But if you travel a lot and you can use an iPad Pro as a second screen do you really need it
This is exactly right…
One of The Best Tech channel I have ever seen! These comparisions videos help a lot... You & your team are really working hard literally for hours to make a single video with that high level quality content just to provide us the right information! Loving it! May you get 1 Million subscribers soon... Thank you!
In NL the prices for 512gb 16gb are
Base 2250
10c/14c 24780
10c/16c 2520.
So the extra upgrade for the two gpu cores is “only” 40 bucks which makes the unbind cpu bind gpu a bit of odd choice
Thanks so much for this comparison test on the 14 inch MBP’s, just the one I wanna see! Though there’s just a small typo on the Logic Pro music production slide; it should be tracks - higher is better.
Wow! To be honest, I’m quite surprised. That makes deciding so much easier😂 I’d be curious to see a performance comparison of a more intense video project with more layers and filters!
These chips slays. Big up to max tech for showing us their potential.
I was going for the 16" M1 Pro but the base 14" M1 Pro seems to do the job very well!
18:16 "...or, upgrade the RAM from 16 gigs to 32 gigs, and that might actually give you a real difference..."
Didn't you literally just test that in the last video? And it didn't make much of a difference. lol
You got it right !
I love how you all torcher test these. Looking forward to seeing the 14” M1 Pro maxed out vs the 14” M1 Max maxed out!
Once again providing us the most detailed reviews. Made the launch week so interesting.
Thank you so much for these in depth reviews. I’m an architecture student with an older Intel MacBook so I’ve been struggling trying to figure out which one to upgrade to but you’ve really helped narrowed it down!
Damn, this has been the seventh MBP video in 5 days. I'm a happy man...
The 14" binned sits really nicely between the M1 Air and the 16" M1 Pro.
I can’t say this enough: these chips are INSANE
Logic Test was 47% increase in performance. One of the only test where you did not add this percentage to the conclussion when it had the most massive differences of all test ? :)
You know what will be interesting to see? 14" M1 Binned vs 16" Intel i9 just to see how the 14 stacks up to Intel best from last series
These tests are absolutely amazing. Can't thank you guys enough for all of this hard work!
I would stay at the base model, but upgrade to a 10-core CPU anyway for not only the faster 96W charger, but also just in case Apple decides 8-core CPUs aren't good enough anymore and they stop updating those machines. No need to worry about the GPU, unless you feel the need for the extra cores for whatever reason. The key thing is to think long term when you're configuring these machines, since Mac computers are not user upgradable.
Absolutely incredible tools. Having an arm processor be able to yield this much performance for everyday tasks is mind blowing.
It makes me have big buyers remorse for my 1000watt energy hog threadripper pc. I’m glad these exist. My next computer will definitely be in this lineup, or similar.
I feel like it’s the more responsible decision for me to consume less power. Can’t wait to upgrade!
Mac Studio is here to help you lol
Guys! Every time when I want to make purchase of any Apple products I'm visiting your website and sorry guys but all my purchases are on you! But I never regret one of them. Your tests and specially ones as "don't make these mistakes with ordering" are great. Also inviting Lady to your Max Tech is good move to get idea of the different point of view. Thanks and keep the flame. Regards Piotr
Good video guys!
Couldn't find this anywhere else, THX!!
A really useful video, thanks! Was base model's battery life better than 10-core's after completing all the tests?
Same results
I think the base one will take a while for everything else to catch up and will hold it's value a little better.
It’s always great to see how Apple’s base model products have so much bang for your buck
Did I miss the battery life? You never compared my most important question.
Great comparison!
I’m now convinced with the final cut pro test results, I will go with the 14” mbp base and save the money with 2tb ssd upgrade!
These are the best comparison videos to choose between the new M1 Pro MBPs. I wish you included battery performance in this review between the test configs. What percentage were the batteries at when you finished the test?
Me: "These new machines would really make my uni work a breeze"
Bank account: *_cries in poor_*
Seems probably the binned model would be fine for most people although maybe its just better to get the full M1 Pro a little pro users, at least instead of the RAM upgrade as per your other video comparing 16/32 GB. Thanks for doing these videos, it really helps people to select the right configuration.
Thanks for the effort you’re putting into these comparisons. They really help with making informed decisions. I have a couple of questions: while the lower spec’ed models are likely to be more than enough power for most use cases in 2021, will this hold true in 2026 and onwards? Many power users purchasing a MBP today may want to sweat it over five or more years. Will the extra money spent today save money in the future? Thanks again.
Yeah, that is the real question. I am torn between 10 cores or 32 RAM, can't do both. I am leaning towards 32 at the moment however.
@@velosobruno Just get higher SSD and 10 cores because 32GB will still use swap
@@_amintrouble After a 100 years of consideration, went for 8 Core + 16 + 1TB. 1TB was non-negotiable, but paying almost 20% of the computer price to double the RAM was not worth it... specially considering that it was already stretching the budget.
@@velosobruno Good choice
THIS is the comparison video I was waiting for! Thank you! Very interesting that the fan noise was different between the two. But what I want to know is if there was any difference in battery life? BTW, I would really appreciate the 14" MBP!
The whole week of analysis, comparisons, recommendations on value for money is very aptly covered by the hard work and incredible presentation of team Max Tech.
Thank you
All the best.
Wow, $300 more for just a small extra performance and lower battery time. Just as the 16GB vs 32 GB, the cheapest model is already performing exceptionally.
i’m heading off to college to study computer science soon so i would definitely appreciate the laptop haha. but the turnover of apple being the overpriced laptop to now looking like a reasonable value option is completely mind boggling to me.
I still went for 10 core model since I'm a programmer and those little performance gain will definitely accumulate :)
also, I won't be spending my time in the future thinking "Ah, what if I bought 10 core model that time!"
What storage did you go for in the end? I'm debating between 8 core or 10 core, 32GB RAM but 512GB or 1TB storage.
I went with 10 core 16gb ram 1tb storage.
I also wanted to go for 32gb but 16 has been more than enough for me actually! I’d recommend my spec to you as well.
I do web dev mainly tho.
Another excellent M1 test/comparison and review MaxT! 👍
It's VERY clear now that the 8 core works much the same and quieter with only a marginal increase in performance on the 10 core & only for some Apps! 🤔
As a result it is essentially the same as the 10 core except maybe for some uses! This Real World testing CONFIRMS it? 👌
So we won't be paying Apple the extra $300 for another 2 cores and instead be putting it towards a bigger SSD? 😃
Killer comparison/test and answers this important 8/10 core question once and for ALL on these new M1 systems! 👏
You’re right, I initially had the 10-core cpu, 16gb ram, 512 ssd, though switched to 8-core cpu, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd. Seems to work much better (for me)
good video
Just an advice, when u compare similar looking laptops please mark each one of them for easier recognition. For e.g. C8 & C10 next to trackpad
I do the same export test with my base M2 Pro , but also more complex (4k timeline 5 min from GH5 camera with luts, various effects, transitions, flare, speed ramp, 180 fps, 60fps) in faster encode "computer" (like your) , 2.37 min. With M1 Pro 8-core and 10-core, 2.55 min. So, with base M2 Pro you have better performance of M1 Pro 10-core, at a significantly lower price (as Luke Miani also demonstrated)
Oh man! Great that you took Logic Pro in consideration in those tests. Thanks guys! 😃🙏🏼🙌🏼
I am having an early 2015 model that I bought back in 2016, it serves/served me well, but I feel like its time to upgrade mostly because I recently changed career to IT as a software engineer so this upgrade is well needed.
I love this comparisons, it helps deciding which direction I want to go when choosing Mac Book specifications.
Thanks a lot.
As a life long windows user I can’t believe I’m considering buying a Mac even though I I’ve never used one before. How times have changed…
Honestly, the graphics boost is not that important, however at the same time you get 27% processing boost, which in my opinion is what really matters here...
Love the head-to-head comparisons of the M1PRO laptops. This will be a great help with my decision this week. Thanks guys!
Really thankful that you compare these two models. Searched like crazy for such a video haha
Thanks for all the work behind comparison these two devices.
Thanks man. Base model is going for 1800 atm, I’m going to go ahead and purchase it tonight.
Buy the 10 cores CPU and better 32 GB Ram if you intend to run Windows 11 as a virtual server beside other Mac Apps. Works very fine here.
Extremely helpful. Could not decide which one.
Wow didn’t expect that conclusion!
Thanks for the video
I already ordered the 14” M1 Pro 10/16/16 with 32GB. I cancelled my 14” M1 Max because of reviews about the battery. Thank god that I did.
Thanks for the comparison
Couldn‘t find a better channel doing a base vs upgraded m1 pro comparison
This is by far the best channel out here for the new Macbook Pro comparison videos.
Thanks Max Tech for this comparaison between those 2 14’. What a great Channel! Best Regards from France!
I appreciate videos with time stamps. Thanks!
Waiting on this M1 Pro 14 in the mail, have been binging your videos, good work!
Great video, love how you added music production
