I'm getting the Macbook Pro with M2 Max! Partially for future proofing (will plan to use it for a long time) and partially for smoother graphics rendering experience :D
It's the M2 Max with the 38 core GPU, 32gb of unified memory and 1tb of storage. I edit 4K and some 6K videos (5 to 10 minutes in length) with color correction, graphics and some effects. I also use a 2020 iMac i7 3.8Ghz with 64gb ram as my desktop. This new Macbook Pro is replacing a 2015 MB.
@@newstreetpicturesltd.5912 Do you think I go the right way with a Macbook M2 Pro (12 CPU Cores, 19 GPU Cores, 32 GB RAM, 2000 GB SSD) insteand of a Max Chip with same storage specs as a music producer?
Highly considering the Max with 32gb and 1 or 2TB but… no one has yet to explain what the difference in 32 and 38 core is 🥹 Which one should I get??! I edit multiple 4K video with advanced coloring and some graphics. Also cull and edit thousands of photos in Lightroom. Cheers!
From what i've gathered : - macbook pro M2 : everyone, video editors included - M2 max : 3D video makers Don't forget in 1 year they'll be obsolete due to the M3 gen, so no need to buy the absolute best thing today. Won't be anymore in only a matter of months. I'm a director and going for the M2 pro eyes closed.
14” MacBook Pro M2Max 64GB 1TB SSD 30 core GPU Have always gone for the 1TB SSD option and then use cheaper external SSD storage. The 64GB option will give me plenty of headroom with memory now and for life of the MacBook. I tend to change every 6/7 years. Great video Mark and really informative
I'm new to your channel. Just discovered it by going through tons of Macbook pro reviews and stuff. Really enjoying your channel a lot! Thank you for making such brilliant content 🙂
I've got a 13 inch 2017 MacBook Pro with a dual core i5, 8GB and 256 GB. I'm upgrading in the next couple of weeks and it's going to be the 16 inch with the M2 Max with 38 GPU Cores, 32GB and 1TB. I'm using my laptop for video editing, music production and I've started using blender and after effects a couple weeks ago. That's when my current one said "f you" to me, I couldn't even render anything I made. Safe to say my minds about to be blown, I haven't been this excited for something in a long time.
A year later I picked up a 14-inch M2 Max 30 GPU core with 32GB and 1TB for the equivalent of £1800. This "low" Max 14-inch model seems to have been totally shunned. I saved a bunch compared to the M3 I was looking at for £3500 (Although it did have 96GB and 2TB). Very happy. Thanks team!
Go for the Pro, but more importantly, the 14-inch! You'll love the portability, the screen, and since the performance is the same as the 16-inch it should not be a difficult decision. When in your office you can anyway hook it up to your desktop monitor.
Trying to watch different videos on this and this is the most useful yet. Very clear. I am a hobbyist but do a lot of woodworking imagining work, illustrator editing etc but like you say I really don’t mind if it takes just slightly longer to render. I’ve been working on an old 2017 and before that 2013 MacBook for ages so now it seems clear the m2 pro is for me. The only thing I still wonder about is for gaming. But then I have game consoles for that
Planning on getting the m2 Max now thank you. With Audio, and video work I need to be sure that my work flow is quicker than it’s ever been. Thank you!
Great video Mark! Thank you! What are your thoughts on using a UAG/Spigen rugged cases and screen films? Maybe it is just better to invest in a premium insurance package instead?
I’m struggling over this question as a graphics hobbyist. It’s not the export speed that matters to me though (I can go do something else while I save a video). It’s the smoothness of applying effects (sometimes elaborate) in Resolve or FCP. Can you speak to any of that? For reference (I know this is pitiful), but I’ve been doing my hobby editing for the past two years on a 2015 Air! I’m going to replace it with something more appropriate, but I want to make the right choice. I’m unlikely to upgrade again until around 2030.
Just spend as much as you can comfortably afford. Given what you're coming from, it'll be a MASSIVE upgrade and you won't be disappointed. Don't overthink it.
Hi Mark, thanks for your video! I am hesitating to buy a refurbished Macbook 14'' M1 Max 10cc 64 Gb 2TB 32-core vs Macbook 14'' M2 Max 64 12cc Gb 2TB 30-core. Hearing about your video and all the throttle issue around M2, do you think a refurb M1 will be better and safest value or M2 would be best? I would get them for same price. My use case would be Logic Pro Orchestral Production, Mixing and Mastering as well as AI programming work as part of my job.
Thank you! I watched other reviews video saying to avoid M2 MAX on the 14inch because it gets very HOT, and affects the performance, but not as bad on the 16inch, what’s your take on this? Is it true to avoid M2 MAX on the 14inch? I need to do a lot of editing, video production, animation, design files, is the M2 Pro 16gb enough? Or 32gb? Thanks
Another great video, although I will be blaming you when explaining the credit card statement to my wife. I have just bought an Apple Watch Ultra based on one of your other videos. I has waiting for the M2 chip before upgrading my from my 2016 MacBook Pro and 2017 iMac, I want to go back to one machine. I am going for the 14 inch model and will spec a 1TB ssd. You have convinced me that I only need the Pro as I don’t do anything too intensive, I just can’t decide between the base 16GB memory and the 32GB. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I don’t want the memory to be a bottleneck for my otherwise powerful machine and I want it to last me a few years. I am hoping to pair it with an Apple Studio display the next time these are on the Apple refurb site.
I got the 16 inch 16gb, 1tb M2 Pro. I've never enjoyed working on a laptop (Photography) but sometimes I can't make the clients wait for me to go back to the studio and importantly can calibrate colours etc with a design team on a shoot. I'm impressed so far. Putting aside my prejudices it handles what I need it to in the field. I did consider going all in on it as a back up studio machine but made the first sensible decision on hardware in years. If they want it yesterday, as is often the case, a few minutes out and about isn't going to hurt anyone. Unless they want me to go back to the studio where I have all the big toys and add days to the job?
Have just bought the M2 14 inch MacBook Pro (1TB) while in San Francisco. No queues, plenty of stock on all models. Overall £700 cheaper than in the UK including a student discount. Likely to keep this for years
Few people seem to be mentioning this, but, by classic apple standards these days, they reduced the SSD performance by around 30% on the base 14 and 16 inch macbook pro's, which is just ludicrous. Instead of the 5 nand chips on the m1 pro base models, there are only 2 on the m2 pro units. Others mentioned how it can make a 3 minute render on the m1 pro, a 4 minute one on the m2 pro. It would be great if you cover this because as of now it seems to be a niche.
Also, if you're like me and don't need that extra performance, which i'd assume is a large proportion of those buying this laptop, then you can find the m1 pro units on a significant discount at retailers like John Lewis.
Thank you for this video it was helpful. I create videos as a hobby and i was thinking of getting the M2 Max but now i am seriously thinking that it is too much for my needs.
Great video. Thanks. Will the 38 core version be any quicker? You said at 6:42 Did you get any chance to try it? Will there be a video about it? Thanks.
i am going with macbook pro 14 m2 max, but 32GB instead of 64GB. I heard that the m2 max gets way too hot on 14 inch but, i am going anyways (it will be my first macbook ever)
I just use for office works and in Mac OS mail i have over 2 mio mail and I have 16 inch m2 max and 14 inch m2 pro and both started indexing a week ago and when I search most common word I see ove 5000 results m2 max but m2 pro only 2100 maybe gives an idea
I just got the base M1 Pro with 1 TB of storage, and I'm still within the return window. I'm wondering if I should exchange it for the base M2 Pro with 1 TB of storage. It would be the exact same price. It might seem like a no brainer and multiple people have said I should return it. I just wonder if there is any downside to the new base M2 Pro? It's hard to find any reviews of it (everyone is reviewing the M2 Max right now) and I only have a week left in my return window.
I’d return, as it seems to only be an improvement except in regards to SSD throughput. The base model SSD is found to be technically slower during extreme scenarios (M1 pro 512gb>M2 pro 512gb) although M2 pro 512gb could be argued as more reliable, given fewer NAND chips? But 2 additional CPU efficiency cores seems to be helping in both power and efficiency based use cases (more battery life AND more overall power) I just ordered a Silver, double binned 10/16 14” w 32gb memory & 2tb SSD. Replacing my 2014 13” Retina
Hello I’m photographer i don’t do videos i only use Lightroom what would you recommend me is the m2 14”16gb is suffisant or i need more for faster images export thanks 🙏
Hi, I am editing in Final Cut Pro and looking for a new MacBook. Ik have M1 13 inc now but it's starting to lag. I am going to edit wedding that will be about 2 hours. Which one should I buy with the max modal 30 core gpu or 38 core gpu? Thank you if you can give some advice :)
Great video ! I'm a video editor on a MBP 16' i7 (2019) 16 GB RAM, I want to upgrade my mac but I hesitate betewen the M2 pro 1To 32GB RAM or the same but with the M2 Max ship. What do you think guys, is worth to spend 300e to upgrade ? Thx 'all
Great video Mark! Is the M2 Max only a few seconds of difference? I'm thinking of getting an M2 Pro 14" Base model for video and photo editing ... how do you think it would perform?
You just won't notice much of a difference if you;'re only interested in the base model. You're probably not aware of the fact that Apple gimped the SSDs on the m2 pro base units. You get 2 NAND chips, instead of the 5 on the m1 pro base units (14 and 16). The performance boost may well be more than offset by the 30% slower SSD speeds. Be smart, like was said by another, go for the m1 pro, if you're only interested in the base config.
I am a graphic designer and photographer, every Single day i work 8h with my pc. For Photoshop, Illustrator, premier and after effects wich one is the best choice?
I do 4k music videos, about 4 mins long, need it to render smoothly without choking the laptop.. but not longer than 15mins for a 4 min video, will the pro with 16gb be enough?
With the CPU cores, it seems that one of the main differences between the M1 and M2 versions is that the M1 Pro and M1 Max had just 2 efficiency cores, whereas the M2 Pro and M2 Max have 4 efficiency cores, the same number as the regular M2 (which should mean even better battery life) Ive already decided I won’t be getting one (i might get an M2 Pro Mac Mini, assuming apple don’t release a new Mac Studio between now and when i am able to get one, but I won’t be getting an M2 Pro or M2 Max MacBook Pro), mainly due to the cost (and i don’t really need a high performance portable computer)
I love your reviews man! I just thought it was a bit confusing when you would gesture to one side speaking on the pro, and the text was for the Max, just something to keep in mind for future videos. Great content though! :)
Hi I’m ordering a new MacBook Pro 16” M2 Max So then I will have a good laptop to start your training courses Is 64gb ram okay or shall I go for 90gb ram In future I might edit 8K video Shall I go for 4TB or 8TB If u edit footage raw might take lot of space For video editing and Davinci resolve after effects and editing ProRes raw editing 4k-8k is 64gb enough or do I need more ? I’m going for the M2 max Please advise
I can't think of one use case for the fully specced out variant, neither do I see any software taking advantage of the capabilities. Waste of money, and only megalomaniacs will buy it. Apple under Cook has a tendency to churn out products that either overlap with each other, or make little sense to begin with. Oversaturated product lineup.
After Effects or Cinema 4D VFX or motion design work in advertize and movie business can easily put these high end specs down. For example. You never get enough power when it comes to professionnel pipeline. The more power, the less time you spend, the more money you save. These machines are meant for print/video/animation pros. The Max chip for graphists. The Pro chip for editors, directors, producers... The mac book Air for general consumers. The Mac Book "Pro" line up is aptly named after all...
Bought the 16 inch m1 pro on a large discount brand new, and am more than glad i didn't waste £2699 on the 16 inch m2 pro base config, as yeah you probably didn't guess, Apple gimped the base SSD speeds.
With the M2 max chip now having a single media engine versus the M1 max having two media engines are you really ahead getting the M2 max versus the M2 Pro for video production? Thanks for all your share here, Mark… Keep us in your journey.
Sadly, apple doesn't make quality hardware for NORMAL people. M2 Pro isn't necessary for most of the audience (not to mention max) but many features that come with them - are.
Hello! Thanks for the video🙏🏻 I’m still confused on what should I get, I’m a visual designer so I’m using the Adobe Suite + Figma. My mind is thinking the pro is enough, but my heart is screaming “with the max you can do it fasterrr”. Any designer out there that already did this purchase?
Question: What about Apple’s M2 Max chip with 30-core GPU vs Apple’s M2 Max chip with 38-core GPU 🤔 That’s my buying dilemma ordering the MacBook Pro 14-inch with Apple’s new M2 Max chip …curious about thoughts which new M2 Max chip to choose ?
I think, if someone has a bunch of money without to worry about the rest of the month, they would buy the highest configuration of an 16 and/or 14 inch. I would do that. Of course an IPAD too
So... which one are you going for (and why)?

In future I might edit 8K video
Shall I go for 4TB or 8TB
If u edit footage raw might take lot of space
For video editing and Davinci resolve after effects and editing ProRes raw editing 4k-8k is 64gb enough or do I need more ? I’m going for the M2 max
Please advise
I can't think of one use case for the fully specced out variant, neither do I see any software taking advantage of the capabilities. Waste of money, and only megalomaniacs will buy it. Apple under Cook has a tendency to churn out products that either overlap with each other, or make little sense to begin with. Oversaturated product lineup.
There are people out there who can use that much power - it's just a small user group.
After Effects or Cinema 4D VFX or motion design work in advertize and movie business can easily put these high end specs down. For example.
You never get enough power when it comes to professionnel pipeline. The more power, the less time you spend, the more money you save.
These machines are meant for print/video/animation pros.
The Max chip for graphists.
The Pro chip for editors, directors, producers...
The mac book Air for general consumers.
The Mac Book "Pro" line up is aptly named after all...
Bought the 16 inch m1 pro on a large discount brand new, and am more than glad i didn't waste £2699 on the 16 inch m2 pro base config, as yeah you probably didn't guess, Apple gimped the base SSD speeds.
With the M2 max chip now having a single media engine versus the M1 max having two media engines are you really ahead getting the M2 max versus the M2 Pro for video production? Thanks for all your share here, Mark… Keep us in your journey.
this is wrong and misleading, that was a typo on the website
Now the text says 2 video encode and 2 ProRes engines... fast and furious detail corrections
Sadly, apple doesn't make quality hardware for NORMAL people. M2 Pro isn't necessary for most of the audience (not to mention max) but many features that come with them - are.
Hello! Thanks for the video🙏🏻 I’m still confused on what should I get, I’m a visual designer so I’m using the Adobe Suite + Figma. My mind is thinking the pro is enough, but my heart is screaming “with the max you can do it fasterrr”. Any designer out there that already did this purchase?
Question: What about Apple’s M2 Max chip with 30-core GPU vs Apple’s M2 Max chip with 38-core GPU 🤔 That’s my buying dilemma ordering the MacBook Pro 14-inch with Apple’s new M2 Max chip …curious about thoughts which new M2 Max chip to choose ?
I choose the 30 core gpu to save money
I got the M2 Max not because I needed it, but I wanted it. 😂
No better reason!
Why are u bald😂😂😂😂😂
Hereditary, I think. My dad lost his hair at a young age, too.
wow... I have never seen such an interesting hairline.. or at least what's left of it.
You’ve never seen a bald guy before? Have you ever left your grandma’s basement?
I think, if someone has a bunch of money without to worry about the rest of the month, they would buy the highest configuration of an 16 and/or 14 inch. I would do that. Of course an IPAD too
