Absolutely awesome ultimate comparison detailed review video about M2 pro and M1 pro devices, thanks Dion for sharing this review video. First your detailed review helps us to buy anyone on these devices. Both are absolutely fantastic devices, but if one has the extra cash and wants to buy the newer model M2 Pro over their choice, well done. But the M1 Pro device is still the best device in limited budget situations.Once again thank for this comparison video, Dion keep it up and waiting for your upcoming informative reviews videos 👍❤🙏🌺
The M1 Pro 14-inch Macbook pro can be found on Apple's Certified Refurbished Store for $1539, or 1729€ in France, considering that this is the closest to brand new that used products can be, it's a significant discount and is worth considering over the M2 Pro. The 2021 generation MacBook Pros are still fantastic, I'd recommend one in a heartbeat !
Great video! I'm from Brazil and in doubt if I get the new M2 Pro with 1TB SSD + 16GB RAM or the old M1 MAX (24c GPU + 32GB RAM). They are almos the same price (M1 Max a little bit cheaper). What do you think? General use, including video editing. Thanks!
@@GVensino If you are someone who needs to use the full performance of the Max chip, you should choose 16'. It will have better cooling space to not lose performance, better battery because the Max chip itself is very power-hungry. On the 14', it's too small, so it will reduce performance to not overheat
Hi, thanks for your compliments. The discussion following your question seems correct. The choice also depends on your user case, but most likely the M1 Max would be my choice as well
I chose a brand new completely unbinned M1 Pro MacBook Pro, with16gb Ram, and 1 TB SSD, for $1999.00, so saved $500.00. With the 10 core CPU, and 16 core GPU, it is lightning fast, compared to any intel machine I've ever had. You should have mentioned the larger heat sink and the louder, better speakers in the M1, than the M2. Otherwise, a great comparison video, Dion. Shame on Apple, for their cost cutting measures, that downgrade, rather than upgrade, they're awesome new silicon laptops.
My Goodness everyone keep repeating what THE ONLY guy on the Internet (max yurev reviews) said regarding the speakers and the heatsink which are TWO idiotically mistakes. The speakers ARE THE SAME. they sound the same! Absolutely no difference! I repeat: no difference whatsoever. The heatsink! OMG. The m2 is getting slightly warmer. That’s it.
@@sevdarasdaras Can you point us to more info on the speakers for both? I believe my M1 sounds better than the M2. I didn't get scientific, but I am currently switching back-and-forth playing the same song, on Spotify, same volume levels side-by-side.
After watching this video, I picked up a new 14 inch m1 base model from Best Buy for $1600. I had $275 in Best Buy gift cards and along with being a total tech member, it came with apple care plus for free. ~$1483 after taxes (with apple care plus) is not too bad. I am upgrading from a 2016 15 inch MacBook Pro (I have had the butterfly keyboard repaired 5x times; I got it back from the apple repair center today). Thanks again for the video!
@@NightWalkerBond well not “free” but the total tech membership is $200 annually. I bought some appliances late last year and they do free installation and delivery if you’re a total tech member. It would of actually cost more if I had paid delivery and installation for each appliance as opposed the $200 for the total tech membership. The apple care is active as long as the total tech membership is active.
Hi there Dion! I’m a college student with primarily these use cases: -Battery life -Media consumption -Browsing -Editing 4K/8K photos and ProRes HDR videos shot on my iPhone (mostly photos, as a hobby) -College tasks -Minecraft with shaders I prefer the 14 inch form factor, and I think the M1 Pro MacBook Pro is better than the M2 Pro MacBook Pro for me. Even a refurbished would be fine. Although my dad is completely against refurbished, even from apple. He’s like, we’re better off with a 2,000$ new M2 Pro MacBook Pro rather than that. I would consider it, but I can’t justify it. The slower SSD + I don’t need the extra efficiency cores. Anyways, what are your thoughts?
Hi, thanks for providing this user case (and my apologies for reacting so late). Both MBs would be fine for you as the technical differences are limited, but there are two things to consider. Cost saving of course (I expect up to 400 usd difference), but the longevity of the M2 will be somewhat longer.
Hey Dion! Great video as always! I'm interested to know if the multitask performance of both machines are similar, considering that the M2 Pro is like an overclocked M1 Pro and runs hotter. Have you noticed any throttling or situations where the M2 Pro runs hotter? Thanks!
Hi, excellent question. Both are great, the first one has double the storage (in the long run rather important), but the M2 pro has 20% better performance. I think for most people the double storage is more useful, but this of course depends on your workflow
LOVE these comparisons! I just ordered a M1 Pro 14 inch from Apples refurbished website. Good savings! One correction: These are taller than 16:10 displays. They are basically 14:9 displays. 16:10 is all the older MacBooks.
After watching your videos, I bought M1 pro 14", 10core, 16gm memory, 1T ssd storage on Amazon, after-tax about $2000. $700 less than the New M2 pro 14", 12core, 16gm memory, 1T SSD. Thank you and all the other people's comments. :)
The SSDs are not 2 vs. 1 module. The M1 Pro uses 4 128GB ones while the new one uses 2 256GB modules. That's why the new one with 512GB is about the same speed as the MBA with 512GB. If it only had one 512GB module, it would be slower than that. But just like on the MBA this is really a non-issue and just people complaining to find something to complain about and then talk about nothing else than that. Who ever cares about speeds this high and thinks they need more, they would've never bought the 512GB base model anyway...
I am looking for a new macbook pro and am confused between 2 models 1) Macbook pro m2 pro 14 inches with 10 core CPU, 16 core GPU, 16gb RAM and 512gb SSD (getting this at 1999 dollars) 2) Macbook pro m1 pro 16 inches with 10 core CPU, 16 core GPU, 16gb RAM and 1TB SSD (Refurbished) Getting this at 2079 dollars Should I go for the latest chip in the market or a previous version that gives me better speakers, battery, screen and double storage?
I recently bought a 14 m2 pro base (512gb ssd), found it new for €500 less than Apple site (a real bargain!). I am extremely shocked by the performance of this Macbook, higher than I thought!! I deal almost exclusively of advanced video editing, with Final Cut and Da Vinci Resolve (4k, 6k, raw, 10 bit..), the fluidity of workflow and the export and rendering speed is truly incredible. All without almost ever hearing the fans! Truly a beast.
The software support longevity is just a total guess. Both could very likely be retired the same year like with the iphone 6s and 7. Especially if 3nm chips are debuted for the M3.
Hi Gregory, it is more than a total guess, but you are correct in the sense that Apple can leave some doubt when it comes to the number of years of support it gives
@@DionMedia In the last 2 macOS upgrade (from Big Sur to Monterey and from Monterey to Ventura) 2 years of macbook pro hiteration have been lost, so, as a recent buyer of a M1 Pro, a cross my finger that it will last as long as the M2 Pro. My only concern is that they seems to prefer to cut at odd years
Especially when you turn on the low power mode on the m2 pro! it makes a difference on battery life, you would not notice the perf loss.I think this is due to the efficiency cores on m2 pro.
Great and very useful video! So, in every test the M2 pro is definitely faster. The slower ssd doesn't negatively affect anything, not even startup & login and All App launch (unbelievable!). In other tests they even showed how file transfer from external to internal SSD is equal or even faster in the m2 pro. Especially now that several months have passed since its release and it can also be found new for €400-500 less than Apple site, why should you still buy the m1 pro?
I just purchased a refurbished M1 MBP with the unbinned chips (10/16) and 1TB of storage for ~$1550US. The performance numbers are essentially the same as the M2 numbers you got on geekbench so it's more of an apples to apples comparison (pun intended).
@whiskeyhandsome Great video. I still have a 2017 MBPro (Intel cpu) and on the fence whether I go M1 or M2,.. I dont need the performance (I dont push my machine that hard) but I do like future-proofing as I do tend to keep my Laptops for 5+ years and who knows what software demands will be then.
very good and informative - what I appreciate the most: the correct structure of themes - at first performance checks, then other stuff - well done!👍👍👍
I am in the look for an upgrade to my very old Intel Macbook pro. I've been looking at both the PRO and MAX of the new M2 14", I may go for the M2 PRO, and wonder if I should go for 32 GB RAM or 2 TB SSD ? I see you have chosen 2TB SSD on the M2. WIll doing mainly Lightroom classic and some film editing. Worry that 16 GB RAM will not be enough?
I bought a week ago MacBook m1 pro 16”. do you think it is appropriate to come back and get a new model with m2 chip? in the country where I live the two have a difference of $326.85
@shamirqushairi I'm rarely impressed by Apple's hardware but their in-house silicone will always have my jaws dropped. It's crazy to think that they're always a generation or two ahead of the competition. 🤯
HI Abir, I had roughly 1 cycle per day, after one year more or less the same as in the beginning. I expect to M1 Pro to continue a healthy cycle for at least 1000 times. If yours is draining faster, check for malware or any app that is running in the background. Best, Dion
Hi Dion, would really appreciate your feedback 😊 I’m beginner in coding what would be best for me M1 Pro base model with 16gb/512gb or M2 pro base model with 1TB ssd? Coding being cpu intensive which one will I benefit from? Will M2 thermal throttle for me? Or is MacBook air m1 with 16gb ram with 512gb sufficient? Cheers
2000$ for 16" m1 pro 16/512 vs 2500$ for 16" m2 pro 16/512 Both are basic models, and i think m1rpo rly best buy, saving 500$ and fast ssd BTW, 16" m2 pro 16/1TB price is 2800$, for same price i found 16" m1 max 64/1TB - again older macbook wins
The M1 Pro is good enough for 99.8% of people, there is absolutely no reason to get the M2 unless you need those precious few seconds when it comes to export times lol
@lamiafarjana Thanks for the comparison video. Been waiting for this. Yes it's sad that they went for single SSD for M2 Pro base model.. making the buyer to choose higher spec SSD forcibly if they want higher SSD speed. So that's a dealbreaker for some who are on a budget
Just bought the 12-core, 16gb, 1tb version of the M2. Xcode, games, and light photo/video/graphical work is what I'm trying to future proof for. I'm returning my M1 Pro 10-core, same specs otherwise. Refurbished, the difference comes out to less than $150. Can anyone tell me what they think of my choice? I can still go back lol. I'm mainly afraid of the 1tb ssd being significantly slower than higher storage option ssds and 16gb of ram not being enough.
@nnnphu I really appreciate your comparison of these 2 machines. I'm planning to buy a mac for work in the future, however apple's decision to slow down SSD speed makes me extremely hesitant. Do I need a machine that is a bit cheaper but still powerful, or buy M2 pro for extra performance in the long run? Damn you apple ☠️ . Good video. Keep up the good work 😉
@katadoto (fingers crossed lol) . I’ve been fortunate enough to own the M1 Pro 14 inch MacBook Pro thanks to the company I work for buying it for my use and it has been the best computer I’ve ever owned. The screen, speakers, battery, performance on battery have all been stellar. I haven’t felt the need for an upgrade since this machine destroys the video editing I currently do so definitely buying it at that discount refurbished is still the best deal for content creators
Hi, I will be the last one to defend the Apple price policy, but as far as I know the taxes in India for imported tech products are insane, and thus contributing to a large extent to the very high prices in your country
@lopezkiketbe Great video! Definitely helped me decide on which MacBook to get.. Going for the refurbished MacBook Pro M1. Gotta save some money during hard times😕 Thanks for this video 💯💪👍
@konradappel I just bought the base 14” MacBook Pro with m2 Pro. It’s just great. Its much better for blender than the M1 Pro even the M1 Max. And if you start to try to get the best version with faster ssd, full m2 pro and a bigger ram size you pay 1000€ extra. But I think the base model is just great value
Your analysis claiming the allegedly significant superiority of the 14-inch Macbook Pro M2 over the 14-inch Macbook Pro M1 is completely contradicted by another presenter. I therefore invites everyone to see the reverse demonstration which shows that the purchase of the 14-inch Macbook Pro with M1 chip is much more recommendable than its new M2 version. The link is here : ruclips.net/video/WLe1eIic62Q/видео.html
The same youtuber have recently released a video in which he admitted he was wrong about m2 pro 14 base and recommends its purchase. Anyway, also the Zone of Tech tests confirm that performance is better with 14 m2 Pro base, especially in video editing, photo editing and 3D (from 1.3 to 1.6 faster). ruclips.net/video/boah5YRompE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/PgapGwkH9cU/видео.html
@anglmn1.lm What do you think about the 2023 M2 Pro Max 30 core GPU vs M2 Pro 19 core GPU 14 - inch? Also I am thinking of getting the M2 Pro but should I upgrade the GPU from 19 core to 30 core? Right now have the Lenovo 920 so I think anything would be an upgrade. Don't get me wrong Lenovo 920 has been a great computer for me but for me it's time to get all my devices on the same page by going all Apple.
Hey Dion, @bramfolbert I cant find my first comment again so I decided to post a second haha. Very interesting video about the Macbook Pro versions. I am considering buying a Macbook, however I'm in doubt about getting an Air or Pro. I mainly use my laptop for light work (think about Word and Excel) I therefore don't feel I need a Pro version. But I don't want to feel limited when buying an Air haha.. Struggles
@palacioskenken I am a big fan of macbooks even i don't have one. I wish I could have one someday and video like this makes me even more fall in love with it. Thanks for this comparison video sir dion and always keep doing this like this up! I'm waiting for the M3 macbook and it is seem very promising base in the rumour and I also wish to have one of it hehe.
@sgtzeus personally, i’d like to own an m1 pro, since it is still a powerful device but it is less expensive than the m2! unfortunately, i couldn’t find stores that still sell the m1 😭
@_linjo_ Thank you so much for this comparison video. It was really helpfull. I just ordered the M2 14inch for my studying son who has to do a lot of photo and video editing.
@bhattaraiprajwol888 I've been waiting for the m2 Pro however, via this video I got to know m1 worth more than m2 to purchase. so, I will be considering to buy it .....
When money is an issue go for the MI, ref my advice in the video. You get more or less 90% of the capabilities of the M2. Thanks for participating in the give-away
What do you think, M2 Pro or M1 Pro? 🤔
@Rob Oo how much is a great discount though? 300 - 400- 500 $ ?
M1 pro is enough i think.

HI Abir, I had roughly 1 cycle per day, after one year more or less the same as in the beginning. I expect to M1 Pro to continue a healthy cycle for at least 1000 times. If yours is draining faster, check for malware or any app that is running in the background. Best, Dion
@@DionMedia Mine is total of 40 cycle and battery capacity is 97%. Can you please tell me your Mac's cuttrent battery cycle and battery capacity?
Hi Dion, would really appreciate your feedback 😊 I’m beginner in coding what would be best for me M1 Pro base model with 16gb/512gb or M2 pro base model with 1TB ssd? Coding being cpu intensive which one will I benefit from? Will M2 thermal throttle for me? Or is MacBook air m1 with 16gb ram with 512gb sufficient? Cheers
Of the three you mention I would go for the M1 base model
@@DionMedia thanks Dion, I purchased the 10/16 1TB configuration and loving it
Watchout for giveaway scammers! I almost fell for one! Lets wait until March!
Hi Victor, thanks for pointing out! Yes, terrible there are scammers around. I report them and wished that RUclips did more about them
@@DionMedia , agree!
2000$ for 16" m1 pro 16/512 vs 2500$ for 16" m2 pro 16/512
Both are basic models, and i think m1rpo rly best buy, saving 500$ and fast ssd
BTW, 16" m2 pro 16/1TB price is 2800$, for same price i found 16" m1 max 64/1TB - again older macbook wins
Thanks for sharing your insight!
The M1 Pro is good enough for 99.8% of people, there is absolutely no reason to get the M2 unless you need those precious few seconds when it comes to export times lol
does the m2 have 2x ssd chips on the 1tb model tho?
Hi Luciano, yes it does
@endpThnk you so much for this video, all the way from South Africa!!
Thanks, greetings to South Africa, a country I would love to visit
@@DionMedia that be so awesome!! And be great to show you around!
Thanks!

Hows battery performance of m1 pro in 2023?
as good as the M2 Pro. Both easily last a full day
I just got myself a 2021 MBP 14 pro
Great, enjoy!
M2 has worst speaker than M1
Another Yurev viewer who repeats what he heard
@@sevdarasdaras ı don’t know who is Yurev, I tested my self
@@kadirakbolat391 I understand. And you found differences in quality. I understand
@@sevdarasdaras Quality is same.
I prefer the sound of the m2 pro speakers, but the difference is not huge ... matter of taste
These are MeanMachines period.🔥
@lamiafarjana Thanks for the comparison video. Been waiting for this. Yes it's sad that they went for single SSD for M2 Pro base model.. making the buyer to choose higher spec SSD forcibly if they want higher SSD speed. So that's a dealbreaker for some who are on a budget
Valid point there, Lamia
so not base models then they are upgraded
correct
@@DionMedia if the storage was left as base storage that would alter the results
why not have a equal 1tb comparison
Hi Jigger, it is about the comparison of both devices. The storage is just one element
m1 pro 16GB 512GB is now $1550 in my country. sadly its hdmi is 2.0
that is a lot!
My 2012 rMBP last 9 years. These machines can definitely last longer than that.
Yes, they can, but at a certain moment less and less functions are being supported
Aw you compared base models :(
+ extend storage
Not a big fan of macbooks but just look at those 🤩🤩🤩
Ah, you changed your mind :)
@bharathmenon09
The fact that Apple is constantly updating the Mac is indeed a great thing. The M2 chip offers even more bang for your buck IMO.
Just bought the 12-core, 16gb, 1tb version of the M2. Xcode, games, and light photo/video/graphical work is what I'm trying to future proof for. I'm returning my M1 Pro 10-core, same specs otherwise. Refurbished, the difference comes out to less than $150. Can anyone tell me what they think of my choice? I can still go back lol. I'm mainly afraid of the 1tb ssd being significantly slower than higher storage option ssds and 16gb of ram not being enough.
@nnnphu I really appreciate your comparison of these 2 machines. I'm planning to buy a mac for work in the future, however apple's decision to slow down SSD speed makes me extremely hesitant. Do I need a machine that is a bit cheaper but still powerful, or buy M2 pro for extra performance in the long run? Damn you apple ☠️ . Good video. Keep up the good work 😉
@katadoto (fingers crossed lol) . I’ve been fortunate enough to own the M1 Pro 14 inch MacBook Pro thanks to the company I work for buying it for my use and it has been the best computer I’ve ever owned. The screen, speakers, battery, performance on battery have all been stellar. I haven’t felt the need for an upgrade since this machine destroys the video editing I currently do so definitely buying it at that discount refurbished is still the best deal for content creators
Apple is charging a lot in india. Bring your price down apple!!
Hi, I will be the last one to defend the Apple price policy, but as far as I know the taxes in India for imported tech products are insane, and thus contributing to a large extent to the very high prices in your country
M1 pro for me
@lopezkiketbe
Great video! Definitely helped me decide on which MacBook to get.. Going for the refurbished MacBook Pro M1. Gotta save some money during hard times😕 Thanks for this video 💯💪👍
Thanks!

@konradappel I just bought the base 14” MacBook Pro with m2 Pro. It’s just great. Its much better for blender than the M1 Pro even the M1 Max. And if you start to try to get the best version with faster ssd, full m2 pro and a bigger ram size you pay 1000€ extra. But I think the base model is just great value
How is the Audio quality?
@@narendrakaushik27 Its just amazing.
The problem is the base 14 inch hard drive speed is half of that of m1 pro
Brother, I am giving you a subscribe for your cool review video!!!
Hi, appreciate that! Glad you liked the video
Did you say you got a MacBook Pro M1 14" on sale for $800
i can't wait to win i phone 14 pro
You are not alone :)
Please 🙏🏻 Donate me one laptop brother. Can't afford to sell my kidney.
please do not sell your kidney or any other organ
great
Can't afford to sell my kidneys. Well living in 3rd world countriesthe prices are skyhigh. Please sir can you give me one laptop.
I know i won't be getting one . Just asking sir.
true, hopefully one day it will work out for you!
Work
@nageshbrn
Great comparison and thanks for clearing all my doubts and helping me to purchase right product .
Thanks.
@angelfatel
Considering both options now. Thanks for the video. Very clear.
Your analysis claiming the allegedly significant superiority of the 14-inch Macbook Pro M2 over the 14-inch Macbook Pro M1 is completely contradicted by another presenter. I therefore invites everyone to see the reverse demonstration which shows that the purchase of the 14-inch Macbook Pro with M1 chip is much more recommendable than its new M2 version. The link is here : ruclips.net/video/WLe1eIic62Q/видео.html
The same youtuber have recently released a video in which he admitted he was wrong about m2 pro 14 base and recommends its purchase.
Anyway, also the Zone of Tech tests confirm that performance is better with 14 m2 Pro base, especially in video editing, photo editing and 3D (from 1.3 to 1.6 faster).

@anglmn1.lm What do you think about the 2023 M2 Pro Max 30 core GPU vs M2 Pro 19 core GPU 14 - inch? Also I am thinking of getting the M2 Pro but should I upgrade the GPU from 19 core to 30 core? Right now have the Lenovo 920 so I think anything would be an upgrade. Don't get me wrong Lenovo 920 has been a great computer for me but for me it's time to get all my devices on the same page by going all Apple.
Hi Lori, I do not know enough of the Lenovo 920 to give a good reaction
Hey Dion,
@bramfolbert
I cant find my first comment again so I decided to post a second haha. Very interesting video about the Macbook Pro versions. I am considering buying a Macbook, however I'm in doubt about getting an Air or Pro. I mainly use my laptop for light work (think about Word and Excel) I therefore don't feel I need a Pro version. But I don't want to feel limited when buying an Air haha.. Struggles
Hi Bram based on your information the Air seems more than enough to me
@palacioskenken
I am a big fan of macbooks even i don't have one. I wish I could have one someday and video like this makes me even more fall in love with it. Thanks for this comparison video sir dion and always keep doing this like this up! I'm waiting for the M3 macbook and it is seem very promising base in the rumour and I also wish to have one of it hehe.
@sgtzeus
personally, i’d like to own an m1 pro, since it is still a powerful device but it is less expensive than the m2! unfortunately, i couldn’t find stores that still sell the m1 😭
Sorry to hear
@_linjo_ Thank you so much for this comparison video. It was really helpfull. I just ordered the M2 14inch for my studying son who has to do a lot of photo and video editing.
Lucky son!
@@DionMedia Yes, he is! And a jealous mom and dad 😉

I think m2 pro better choice😊
Give me your telegram link pls
I do not have that. These telegram messages are scam, so please do not react

Idk man I like the design of new air but any workable specs are overpriced
True, they are not cheap
@averagelee_ I have the MacBook Air M1 and it works perfectly for me the new M2 pro does look very nice though!

I've been waiting for the m2 Pro however, via this video I got to know m1 worth more than m2 to purchase. so, I will be considering to buy it .....
@liveasmi I really like your tech videos
Thank you!
@lexhodde
Great video!
Thanks
@ps.1744.tgh . I was in a serious dilema on what to get but thanks to your video ive decided to go with the m2 pro model
@alienespinel
I have the M1 PRO and it does wonders!!
Not really, the M2 is faster (ref my video), but the extra storage on your M1 is worth a lot
@@JackCarter911 knowing the memory issues with all of M2 I would just stick with the M1
@ar2rjay EYYY!! HAHAHAHA
@mrh_rokib
What do you think, which will be perfect in perspective of both money and performance?
And thanks for a Giveaway😍
When money is an issue go for the MI, ref my advice in the video. You get more or less 90% of the capabilities of the M2. Thanks for participating in the give-away
