I'd gladly take a thicker MacBook if it meant it included better battery and all the necessary ports we used to have. Keep em' coming like this Apple cuz you ain't gonna hear complaining from me.
Everyone keeps talking about the thickness but they don’t even realize the 14” is actually THINNER then the 13” and the 16” is only a 1/2 of a millimeter thicker then the old one. They just appear much thicker because they don’t have a tapered design anymore.
True that!! I'm still on a 15" 2012 MBPro, the 2021 MBPro M1 Max is actually lighter, slightly smaller with a larger screen. Excited for my new 2021 MBPro to arrive next week supposedly, i ordered it 6 weeks ago it is due to arrive the 4/ 22 to 4/29 just got delayed until 6/6/ to 6/21. what i bought is a 16" MBPro M1 Max with 32 Ram and 2 TB storage, hope to have it 10+ years like my 2012 MBPro without worrying about software and app upgrades or storage space. In 2012 i bought my 2012 MBPro 8GB Ram was biggest & i got it with 1TB Storage which was huge back then, I still only have used 592.92GB storage since 2012, The new one for me should be plenty big, im almost thinking i should have got 4TB as i want to move that 600GB from the 2012 to the new 2021. As mentioned above, I'm still on a 15" 2012 MBPro, the 2021 MBPro M1 Max is actually lighter, slightly smaller with a larger screen. THE 2021 is 19/64 inch thinner, 11/32 inch narrower, 3/64 inch less depth and 13/16th of a pound lighter with a 13/16" inch larger screen. The new 2021 compared to my old 2012 is basically slightly more than a 1/4 inch thinner, slightly less than 3/8 inch narrower, slightly less than a 1/16 inch front to back, slightly more than a 3/4 pound lighter with slightly more than a 3/4 inch larger screen. And they brought back the ports that i like and mag safe that i love. It is a win win for me. With all he improvements and bring backs it could not have been a better model, year and time to upgrade!! Absolutely Psyched!!!
I gotta say, good on you for not labeling it as a review. A lot of these videos that came out today called it a review and it isn't that yet, it's an unboxing and initial impressions. Thank you for labeling as it should be
Only thing to consider with getting the M1 Max with the 14” is that it significantly decreases maximum battery life and the GPU is running at slower clock speeds than in the 16”
@@bolttracks I will have to compromise. I didn’t like the 16” size. It was too large. I didn’t want to return to the PowerBook size of 2000-2010. Lugging it around traveling is just too much.
Same here, but I’m considering getting the 16 inch as i really love working on the huge display of the 24inch M1 iMac. And i really hope that it could last about 10 years 😂. But as you mentioned traveling with it will be a bit too much..

This is INDEED my very first MacBook, my first time using MacOS and all because of video editing speed and completing the Apple ecosystem. I think I am getting started at a really good time and I built it strong so I think it will be awesome.
@@watchmanexpert I don’t travel with the 16” much but it’s definitely heavier. I actually have the 14” model which pretty much lives in my backpack at all times.
Since the first Space Grey MacBook Pro came out, that is my color of choice but now the Silver one with the contrast with the black keyboard catches more and more my eyes!

Great video! I have a base 2015 MBP. It’s showing it’s age a little when I edit in FCP. Thinking about upgrading it but I’m torn. I want to keep mine for at least 5 years, should I go with 16 or 32 GB of RAM?
I also have a 2015 MacBook Pro with 16 GB it is good for what I do.. The extra wouldn't be worth the money to me.. I am getting my new M1 16 inch MacBook Pro today..
@@gunner5590 I picked up the new 16GB MBP 14 inch yesterday.. I guess I have 45 days to test it out and see with my workflow - fcp, web browsing, and playing music in the background etc. but still not sure if I should get 32GB for longevity or if the 16GB is good enough. I just don’t think a $400 is worth it that given I’m not going to being doing 6K or 8K editing maybe just some 4K stuff.
Do you guys bother checking for dead pixels on yours? I couldn’t find a mini led 12.9 iPad without one and it ruined my ability to enjoy it. Am I the only one?
Speaking on thickness, I know that the previous MacBooks have that tapered edge making it *look* thinner. (The same idea as the wedge for the air models) but at the thickest points there isn’t much difference
how is this laptop different from a laptop on windows? what programs will not work on it? I know how difficult it is to transfer files from iphone to windows, can I download a movie from a torrent to a mackbook and then, for example, transfer it to a hard drive? What other points should I consider when buying this laptop?
very excited and even more anxious, my new 16" m1 max delivers the last week of APRIL pushed out to the end of june. kind of scared having it delivered per say it was dropped by the rough handlers being overworked with thousands of deliveries expected by the receiver to be delivered on time. ive noticed most items shipped by fed ex and ups are all banged up on the outside boxes, apple assures me that the styrofoam packing they use it will be fine and they say oh you've got 1 year warranty. well damage from a hard drop may not show up for a few years. i only had it shipped because i could get it shipped to an apple store within 200 miles of where i live, ive got 3 apple stores quite close but none of them are receiving the 2021 MacBook pro, weird i must say. thanks for the video. im currently on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro that i bought new in 2012, i love it, i can't get big sur iOS so apps like numbers are not working, luckily i have microsoft office 2019, myself i prefer excel over numbers and i prefer word over pages, i dont use power point enough to make a comparison over keynote. again thanks for this video
The new one has a height or 1.68cm or 0.66 inch and the old one has a height of 1.62cm or 0.64inch.. basically no difference Its also only 100grams heavier
Good video, only thing i noticed is it ok to pull the power plug off from the wire side, wouldnt that loosen the connection quickly. I think better to hold by the square block.
Please help me choose which configuration to get ! I want to get this same spec configuration but with 16 GB Ram! Is this enough ? I edit 4K videos for commercials ! I do promotional videos for real estate agents to help them sell themselves and properties. Do you think 16GB can handle 4K log footage ?

In your editing software, can it playback your compressed EOS R5 footage?
Tyler Stalman did his review of the MBP and the new m1 max destroys R5 footage. So yes these computers destroy r5 footage

A great sign I watch too much of your content, is that I read this in your voice and cadence.

as someone upgrading from an early 2015 macbook air to a 16’ macbook pro with 32 ram and 1tb ssd… this made me so hyped up
how u liked ? is to big and heavy the 16 ? I will upgrade from 2018 air to MacBook Pro
I have the macbook pro 16inch 2019 version... However, i will admit that i am jealous of this new beast from apple!!!
People always talk about how big it is, but compared to almost every laptop out there, by comparison it's incredibly light.
Well, I miss the touch bar! I loved it!
yes ....screen recording or multimedial driver
Honestly I feel that that notch does looks beautiful . It also looks more blended in than the 14” to me
Yea the rounded corners
mine comes in tomorrow! so excited 💙
Finally!! been waiting for this video all week
Damn, I’m so happy I went with silver.
I ordered the 16 inch 1 Terra model. This will be my first Mac computer ! I hope delivery won't be very late
hi , how u liked ? feel to heavy and big the 16 inch ?
I’m more impressed with the Daytona.

The silver looks amazing this time.
Really interested to see how the 3D modelling benchmarks of Blender run on this.

yes
Why is the touch pad bad.? I’m new to MacBook and really want one
I just saw you when i was looking at the new Macbook pro and i instantly like you. You earned yourself a new subscriber
I still don't understand to round it although the iPad and iPhone and iMac now got squared edges again ??? Looks outdated when closed IMO.
Please explain why it’s good that they finally retired the touchbar
Nice review! My max in silver is arriving tomorrow! 😍
That some really good transitions. The mac flip at the beginning and the background swap at the end was beautiful!

I love when all tech-bloggers have a separate section for video editing software review because THEY use it 😏
finally. the macbook we wanted since 2017
This is actually quality content!
Thank you!
Is 16 inch better than 14 inch than as it has bigger screen and more resolution so will be way easier to work and less to focus?
Does the 140W charger mean that I won't be able to power macbook m1 pro via my monitor's 90W charging usb-c?
Holy Moly that intro shot is super clean
Can I ask? Why your screen there is no MacBook Pro wording ?
The best laptop on the market. Undoubtedly.
The extra ports pointless at this point. I already switched out all my cables with usbc cables. Even my hdmi is usb c.
Then we should wait because watch them strip it away on the next iteration because this is garbage!
I don't mind the thickness but the top looks flat and the sides and bottom rounded. Would have much prefer a more boxy design like a razor blade.
@Martha Speaks Without a Touch Bar... To summarize, just a good looking laptop that is not weird in any way.
I spec’d out my 16” and it’s not coming till November but it’s arriving on my bday.
Ordered in my dreams...will be delivered in my dreams 😇

tell about the trackpad gestures of the macbooks like how to exit app n how to go back trackpad gestures
Thanks for the great demo. This vid also helped me with my final decision on the color. I go for SILVER. Thumbs up for ya!
This laptop has crappy backlight driven by 14.2kHz PWM. The screen continues flickering even on 100% brightness. Is it a premium product, Apple?
does the last generation 16" Leather sleeve fit this one? Try it out and see if you can..
How comfortable are the keyboard and trackpad when using the 16” for long periods? Thanks
I don’t even doubt the new MBPs have top notch performance
i can confirm the notch part in that sentence
underrated comment
Can you please try to connect the m1pro macbook to 3 4K displays and see if its supported natively?
As a Junior software developer do you think I need 32gb of ram?
Get my 16 inch up in store this Saturday 🤩🤩
This looks great and good review Justin
Does it feel as heavy as it seems?
Does the keyboard feel the same as the m1 MacBook 13"? Have the keys or mechanisms under changed at all?
Personally, I don't mind the notch but I don't like how we're likely to see other competitors implements that intrusion as well.
How and from where did you get that 1TB variant for $2,499/-? Please let us know, too.
What charges faster the MagSafe or the usb-c? Just curious! I absolute love your videos Justin! You’re definitely up there with the big dogs!!
Magsafe.
@@chickenmuffin kay. Is this spec somewhere?
What are you all going for Silver or Space grey?
Apple logo no longer lit up🤣

The base model of the 16 inch in my region actually is at 2499 $.
