    I've used the 16" M1 Pro for the past year+, and recently picked up the 14" M2. I use these on my lap about 99 percent of the time, and the 14" has me slouching down way more, and just isn't as immersive as the larger display. For lap use, the thermals do come into play for me. The 14" seems noticeably hotter, faster. As far as weight goes, I was really surprised that the 14" being a lb lighter, didn't actually FEEL lighter. She's still a heavy girl like you said in the video. I guess they feel the same weight to me because the weight is disbursed in a much smaller package with the 14". All of this was super interesting to me, but now at least I know which team I'm on. Exchanging it for the 16" M2 today.

    I used a 14-inch laptop for some time and I still have it, but it is too small for me. I just got my first MacBook ever, the 16-inch version with m2 max, 32 GB ram, and 1 TB and I love it. The screen looks so good and it's just the perfect size for me. Now I'm enjoying laying in bed, working on a such beautiful screen with an amazing battery. This laptop changed my perception of how a laptop should be: a beautiful screen, a power horse without hearing the fans, and an amazing battery.

    I don’t think people realize how large 16” is. Yeah, you can demo it at the store but once you finally get that thing home like I did. Isolated from all the other machines at the store, it feels gigantic especially if you used smaller screens. I say that with great pleasure of my M1 Max the last couple of years. I would like a 14” some day because that 16” is HEAVY to haul around.

    The slow ssd speed is an issue. People are paying good money for an inferior product from last year and instead of putting the onus on the trillion dollar corporation you put it on the consumer because they didn’t spend more for 1TB 🤦🏾‍♂️ y’all kill me. Extrapolate that to other businesses. you order a filet mignon that’s mostly ground beef because the restaurant thought you wouldn’t notice. Your new car gets 10 less mpg because the manufacturer thought you wouldn’t notice. It’s crazy how individuals argue against consumer rights/knowledge in favor of these large corporations. Good video otherwise

      I agree that the speeds should be fast but I also understand the 3500mb/s is fast. Of course I enjoy the 6000mb/s speeds and it’s great we got it on base models from previous. But we can also take into the account that chip production may still be recovering and our economy is crushed at the moment. Believe me I want every model to have 6000+ speeds but it is what it is

    Actually, I was going to grab one of the new 15" Mac Airs when I ran across the refurbed price of the 14" Mac Pro. The cost of the new 15" Air was something like $100 cheaper than the 14 MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip in it. I opted for the Pro with the extra stuff like HDMI and more Thunderbolt slot. I have the refurbed 14" MacBook Pro M2 Pro and I love it. The screen is by itself worth the upgrade. Will I use all this horsepower? No. But I was looking for something that will last 5-6 years and I think I found it. Thanks for the info you presented and your sense of humor is refreshing.

      @@CJKnowsTECH honestly not really. Currently I am a basic user but long term hope to get back into video editing and do some photo editing as well. I just worry that 16gb won’t be enough and will cause the laptop to feel dated more quickly. The RAM is my biggest concern but the screen is also something I’m indecisive about… initially I just wanted the smaller screen for the form factor and because I have an external monitor and liked how the 14 felt on my lap and in my hands, but the 16in really is beautiful once I adjusted to it haha. Standing at my kitchen island for example and working from it is a lot nicer than the 14. But the flip side is the 14 is way more comfortable to use on my lap if I’m on the sofa or in bed etc and that’s probably going to be a more common scenario, and if I really want the larger screen I can always dock it to the external.

Tbh, the bigger the better in terms of viewing experience as always, but I found an edge use case, maybe this is just me - but I’m also using a studio display. The default font size on that 27” is about the same with that on a 14” MacBook Pro vs. 16” MacBook Pro will have a bigger font size than the monitor and proportion wise the 14” also makes the 27” seems significant enough as a main display…if you go with the 16”, this combination just looks a bit weird, out of proportion in a way.

I’ll be doing a lot of video editing and music production so I opened up garage band and iMovie just to see how it would feel on all 3 (personally I edit on FCP and produce on Logic Pro) and the 14” has the best of both worlds, portability and good size screen. I purchased the 14” with upgraded M2 pro 12-core CPU and 1TB SSD. I had to stick with the base 16GB RAM because my money is a bit tight plus I needed to get the softwares too lol.

    Great video CJ I’m no professional but great comparison and breakdown, personally as I don’t get Laptops often.. I’ll be getting the BMW M3 MacBook Air 💻 hopefully 3nm and will last me for many years.. ^__^=
