My 2017 MacBook pro is still going strong after 6+ years lmao. Honestly if u take care of them MacBooks are great and last a long time so I think upgrading all the specs at the beginning and paying a little more can be worth it
I still have my Macbook Air m1 and the performance is still great, but I plan to upgrade to Macbook Pro M3 Max 14 inch, I just exchange my old Macbook Pro 2017 to my uncle to a Macbook air m1
Just picked up the 16” pro max over the weekend. Was able to save $500 since the new chip is coming soon. I’m beyond happy with it so far. Making the switch from windows to Mac is getting so taking use to. Might I also add you’re absolutely gorgeous! Have a wonderful day.
In the process right now as a photographer to get the base M3 because even that was a beast when I tested it out. Loaded up an 8K RAW image in LR in 3 seconds flat, I could’ve fallen to the floor
Thank you for this very informative and interesting. I appreciate your honest opinions and transparency about the price. Looking forward to the future videos about the other apps you install and how they assist with your productivity.
Great video! I bought my M1 Pro MacBook Pro last year, and I use it mostly for music production and digital art. All of my plugins work great on the laptop and I couldn't be more happier.
@@angelzheng I think all the M-chips are pretty powerful, so I think you'll be fine with the machine you have right now. But it would be cool if you could make a "long-term user review" later on ^^
This was so insightful to watch!! I have only ever had my 15 inch 2016 MacBook pro and was in the same boat as you with traveling more, and I think you convinced me to get the 14 inch!!! It is suchhhh a big investment and want to make sure I get it right for longevity. Loved this!!!
Hi Angel!! So happy to hear your story.. I would like an update about your decision to downsize to a 14" MacBook Pro... I have always been tempted to get the 16" but as you have said, when it comes to traveling and being mobile, I feel like having a smaller device would be a lot more convenient and less straining if that makes sense.. I hope you have a follow-up video !! Congrats on your new MacBook !!
Ah loved this review!! Soo helpful as someone who has been looking to get a new MacBook Pro for similar purposes ☺️❤️ I was wondering what camera & lens you used to film this vid? 🙏🏼
Omg girl, we do have the same hand gesture when using the track pad, haha, and I think that should be called the nature gesture, not the one that the whole Apple system has already set up. 🤣
I'd love the silver if the black logo and the keyboard were white or silver as well. I just hate that pronounced contrast, I got the space black as a gift a week ago and thought on changing it for the silver but nah, it looks more sleek and I prefer a white charger more than a black logo and keyboard on the laptop itself 😂 all 3 colors are awesome anyway...
For the apps you just described including the Adobe suite I think what you got is a HUGE overkill.... you could do all these with half the specs and even less...I do 3D artwork with M2 Pro with half the memory etc and still is running smooth...
I edit 8K drone aerial and Sony 6K footage without any issues, I think you should check your footage and workflow parameters that can cause this lag.... for sure there is something in the codecs as you describe it. @@angelzheng I edited 4K with simple M1 and 8GB ram without any issue...
I actually don't remember where I got that exact wallpaper anymore ): But I uploaded it to a Google Drive if you want it! It's linked in the description
For around 5,000 CAD for such high end specs; I think you’re able to future-proof this for 10+ years! Try not to spoil your laptop and take good care of it - and I’m sure it will last for a very long time since MacBook series are known for their longevity so long as you don’t expose it to accidents or dangerous circumstances :)
My job sent me the Space Black; in my opinion it lacks the appeal the silver or space gray has. I always felt like I needed to wipe it off. Given your aesthetic, I don't think you would have been happy with it long-term. #Teamunnaturalscroll 🍃

Totally agreed!
My 2017 MBP can no longer update to latest OSX sonoma so need to upgrade. 7 years is great though but the timing is inconvenient haha
I still have my Macbook Air m1 and the performance is still great, but I plan to upgrade to Macbook Pro M3 Max 14 inch, I just exchange my old Macbook Pro 2017 to my uncle to a Macbook air m1
I’m still using my MacBook Pro mid 2012, but I’m gonna upgrade now probably M3 pro. The mid 2012 is a beast and it’s a satisfying decade of usage.

such a great video! loving my M3 Max SO MUCH
Thanks! Yeah, I'm LOVING it so far. It's handling everything super smoothly
My jaw dropped when you said the price lol. Can’t believe how much prices have gone up! Love the video though. It’s beautiful!!
Yeup! You can definitely spec it up to be pretty pricey 😅 But I have very specific needs with this laptop which is why I made the upgrades!
In the process right now as a photographer to get the base M3 because even that was a beast when I tested it out. Loaded up an 8K RAW image in LR in 3 seconds flat, I could’ve fallen to the floor
Oooo that's insane!
I still have my pink 2016 12 inch retina! I love her but considering upgrading. This looks like a good option. I prefer smaller laptops 😮❤
Me too. I use it for travel. I have the. 8gb had it been a 16gb it would have been perfect

I'm honestly starting to think the M1 chip was just better overall than the M2 😅 Hopefully the M3 is just as dependable

Just got the M3 Max 16 inch upgraded from a 2013 mac book pro 13 inch big change
ooooo, your workflow is about to be supercharged!
Bro, I'm definitely buying this, thanks for the review, would love to see more GENUINE content like this 😊
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Congrats on your purchase any M3 Max is a beast!

would love a video talking about thoughts after a month or something too!!! :)))
Yes! That's on my todo list

I’ll definitely do a follow up video once I’ve used it for while!
Team opposite of natural scrolling! 💯💯💯
Yesssssssss
Ah loved this review!! Soo helpful as someone who has been looking to get a new MacBook Pro for similar purposes ☺️❤️ I was wondering what camera & lens you used to film this vid? 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful! I used two cameras: The Sony A7C with a 35 mm lens and the Sony ZV-1
0:51 thank you so much!! Just found ur Amazon store. Which one did you use in your intro/talking head portion?
Omg girl, we do have the same hand gesture when using the track pad, haha, and I think that should be called the nature gesture, not the one that the whole Apple system has already set up. 🤣
AGREED HONESTLY
why didn't you prefer the 16" version? I was just curious
As an attorney, my M1 Pro 10GB/16GB/1TB is still working incredibly.
That’s sounds like an overkill for your field 😅
i love starting fresh on a laptop!
It was honestly the best feeling! I haven't done it in so long
@@angelzheng unboxing an Apple product is a pleasure. I have a brand new M2 Air.
congrats on the new pick-up! Great investment 🔥 Looking forward to your workflow videos :)
Thanks! Love your videos!
@@angelzheng Thanks!
ahhh i love your wallpaper so much! may i ask what website you downloaded it from? i'd love to see more dynamic wallpapers. ^^

You'd be surprised! I'm currently using the M2 Pro and when I'm editing 4K videos with animations and graphics, it actually lags on me 😅

Reviews state that the 14inch doesn’t allow enough cooling for the Max chip - the 16inch is recommended.
I’ll definitely do an update to see if I notice any issues!
Loved this video, very informative! Could you please share where you got your dynamic wallpaper from? :)
I actually don't remember where I got that exact wallpaper anymore ): But I uploaded it to a Google Drive if you want it! It's linked in the description

Awesome video. If you didn’t know if you purchase from Apple you have 14 days to return it even if used
Opposite natural scrolling.
Yusssss
I'm team Opposite!!
omg friends 🥺
I'm team "opposite" scrolling, always have been. "Natural" feels anything but.
Tell me about it!
team opposite scrolling represent hahaha
team opposite! realised it feels more natural to use it the other way.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one hahaha
I buy abacus and sundial and have no ram, werkz gewd.
i want one
Watching while i just purchased macbook pro m3 pro 3days ago hahaha
How are you liking it so far?
@@angelzheng Honestly, I'm still adjusting. hahahaha this is my first MacBook. I'm always a Desktop girl haha.

Yeah, I think that the silver is perfect! I love it so much
Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏
Team opposite since 2012!
