It should be illegal to offer 8 GB of RAM for a "Pro" laptop in 2024.
I bought the MacBook Air M1, and it's the best decision I've ever made. As a web developer, everything just works flawlessly.
M3 also had 8 and 10 GPU variants, the 8GPU cores version can be found in base iMac.
4:02 oh yes my favorite aluminum chassi cutting board
Whats the monitor/TV at 6:15 used by MKBHD ?? Any idea guys??
I am thinking about getting a mac coming from pc. I do a lot of virtualization labs on my current windows pc. I don't edit videos that much only for family trips. I just do alot of Sys admin type stuff. What do you thikn the best chip is.
Ok but what the M1 Max with 10-core cpu and 32-core gpu?
I want to get my first Mac and I am interested in M2 Pro 14” 16Gb and 512Gb SSD, the base model, but I’ve been reading that as it’s only a ssd block (not 256-256) the speed and data transmission is not like it should be and goes slow in some cases. That is true at the level that it bothers or there is lag if you have several tabs open in Safari, streaming app,... editing photos just time to time. I don't want to spend that money and then find something that I didn't want. Whoever has it, could you help me? What is the experience like on a day-to-day basis? Thank you
From my understanding the uses you described rely on ram not ssd speed. I think ssd speed is more for file transfers and stuff like that.
I have an early 2015 MacBook pro with intel and wanna get the MacBook Pro m3 pro. I do a lot of web browsing for work using a lot of chrome extensions. Is M1 or M2 enough for this work load? It’s not heavy work like editing and stuff like that but I would eventually like to start editing my own videos and stuff
I upgraded from my 2015 15" maxed out macbook pro to a 16" m3max (40 core gpu) with 64gb memory. I can max out my machine with statistical analysis for scientific papers and also max out the chip when using ai denoise in lightroom. for your use all apple silicon chips should do well. even m1 is a significant performance boost over your current machine. But go for 16 gb of memory (at least). Of corse the newer chips would be performing better in video editing but as far as i know even the base m2 has a hardware video encoder/decoder (not sure if the m1 base chip has one too). so the m2 should do ok in light video editing. the m3pro definitely is a great chip. it is more efficiency oriented with 6 performance and 6 efficiency cores. The m2pro had 8 performance and 4 efficiency cores. so the cpu performance of the pro chips didnt greatly improve from m2pro to m3pro but the new architecture (3nm) lets the m3pro have about the same performance with less cores and be much more efficient with the new (3nm) node and more efficiency cores it also has better power in low power mode than the m2pro.
@@Superbus753 awesome thanks for the reply!
My brother had the same model 2015 mbp as you and he opted for the base m3 pro mbp and he’s very happy.
I can tell you without even watching this video that if my Mac was running the iPad A12X that would be plenty of CPU for me. It doesn’t take too much to run stuff in the terminal, do what I need to on the web, make spreadsheets and Pages docs and occasionally make video. Currently have an M1 & M2 Mac. The biggest thing is Ram. 16 GB minimum If I don’t want to pay close attention to usage like on my M2 Air.
My problem is I like to have large internal storage and once you start adding that the processors or ram just become similarly priced or for 200 more you can bump to next upgrade e
Thats the point.
Mac's pricing is driving me crazy. So I just got a Macbook Pro M3 with 16gb Ram two days ago. I mostly write, but also use Adobe InDesign / Photoshop and Adobe Cloud really uses a lot of memory even when I'm not actively using it, 16 gb ram seems adequate, but for $20.00 more, I could get a refurbished M3Pro w/ 18gb Ram- I'm in the return window, I don't know if I should get it or stick with my shiny new MacBook Pro M3. I've already returned a 13 inch refurb MacBook Air that was 8/10 core, 16gb ram, 512 SSD - it seemed like the battery was draining too quickly. Any thoughts on this?
I would go with the M3 Pro simply because you'd be getting 2 more GB of ram, plus the extra processing power
In addition to the extra RAM, CPU cores and GPU cores, you get hugger memory bandwidth 150Mbps on the M3 pro compared to 100Mbps on the regular M3. And also better video encoders, decoders. My M1 Pro 10/16 with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD, even has faster SSD and higher memory bandwidth at 200Gbps and it still screams fast and chews everything I throw at from programming to video, photo editing and especially AI. I have tons of tabs open all the time, maybe 50 on Safari and another 50 on Firefox. I don’t use Chrome at at as I don’t trust it and I don’t want Google services to bloat my machine. This invention is a history changing compared to PC and x86 architecture. Super silent and cold. Chews everything, it’s been 2 years few months. I’m only eyeing a Mac Studio with M3 Ultra with extra RAM to speed my AI processing. But I might wait for the M4 with the rumors that it will have even better neural engine.
My friend, max out the RAM as much as you can, RAM is key for everything. And try not to opt for the base storage although Apple is back to using 2 nand chips in the base configuration. The machine should last you 5-10 years easily depending on on your requirements. It’s bulletproof.
I presented a large PDF file through MS Teams on a MacBook Air M2 with 8 GB of memory to a customer. In the middle of a presentation, I got an error (like memory overflow), and the thing came crashing into my preso, and I almost lost that customer. The next day, I ordered a MacBook Pro Max from Amazon with 36 GB of memory. I didn't call the max configuration because it had a 200-dollar discount on this configuration and didn't give me the option to upgrade. I don't know if I will use all that power, but it is here if needed.😊
Unfortunately the chipsets are powerful, but 8GB ram really isn't gonna be long lasting. 16GB is the minimum for longevity, it's a crime how 8GB is still the base
@@MonsieurGuy 8 GB in 2024 is criminal. The world evolves, and Apple continues with this insane business proposition: how much will it cost to have 16 GB as a minimum? It's not much for them, but they prefer to continue doing it, as most customers don't come online to expose their frustration with 8 GB.
Hi Arthur, can you help me with this decision?
Yesterday I bought two MacBook Pro models:
1. MacBook Pro (14-inch) - Apple M2 Pro chip with 12-core CPU and 19-core GPU, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM (2023) - $1850
2. MacBook Pro (14-inch) - Apple M2 Pro chip with 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM (2023) - $1350
I also have a question:
Which one should I keep and which one should I return? (Which one is more valuable?)"
The difference is 500$ is it worth it!
My 2 cents - what would you use this for?
If the work load is super heavy then those extra cores would come handy.
I think you got a good one for 1350.
For my workflows coding included and testing programs with bunch of chrome and safari tabs, i would keep the 1350$ model.
I would just buy external ssd for my read and writes.
The only thing I like to mention is for my fellow AI and ML colleges the M series are good but they are a little bit pain when you want to run related tasks since the libraries are not there yet to make use of arm GPU idk maybe thats the thing in my case eventhough I am really happy with my m1 pro 16 inch macbook sometimes I wish I got a windows based laptop since it is easier to work with realted libraries like pytorch or tensor to use GPU
I need more RAM. I don't need more CPU power, base M1 is more than enough for the most tasks I do.
Agreed. My wife can compile a large code base with the M1 Pro.
RAM upgrades or lower prices on increasing RAM at initial purchase are far more valuable.
I wish they did an Ultra chip on a laptop. I know I am in the 0.1% of use cases here, but I would really appreciate more power than the M3 Max in my workflow in a portable device.
I just ordered 14” MacBook Pro 16g / 1TB SSD 8core CPU 10 Core GPU I plan to stream Gaming and edit videos also use Adobe Illustrator
Well i can max out my cpu and gpu on my m3max (40gpu core model) 64gb memory when doing statistical analysis for scientific papers but also when doing photo editing in lightroom and using ai denoise. so it is not only for super professionals but also for entusiast photographers. (video editing might be different as there the dedicated encoders work miracles also on lower end chips)
Awesome video, but it looks like it's time for an aspirin! Great video but now I need a aspirin
I was looking forward for M1 Pro 10-core/16-core GPU version for better performance from entry point M2 and M3 pro, but slightly less expensive than both of those. Nice comparison, much needed for someone buying a laptop in 2024.
Is it me or is anyone seeing a problem with getting a MacBook pro with all the bells and whistles but then seeing the vision pro for thousands of dollars cheaper?? Is it me or is anyone seeing this option. Just a thought
Apple is making M series fast and faster display in second. It Apple development trend. It doesn't matter where it goes. It depend on what your need in your job require in speed. What matter is the price to pay for your job can afford. It a decision to consider what is what for.
i use my m1 air for everything including HEAVY gaming so i dont know what u fucking mean by oCcAsIoAnal dOcUmEnT tYpInG.wtf.this guy is high.
iPad Pro 11 m2 💚💛❤️
what about m1 max?
Exactly... i wonder why Arthur hadn't made any comment!
exactly. I saw a video where someone was exporting 4k videos on a m1max and m3max and the time difference was less than 5 seconds. That's why I bought a M1 Max
@roencaOnline very interesting info, id like to have a look at that video if you don't mind posting the link :-)
@ well video exporting is handled by the media engine. So all the work is done by the hardware video encoders/decoders. that is why there isn't a big difference in video exporting. but for other tasks that rely on the cpu and/or the gpu there is a large difference
for me not one that would justify paying the extra 2 grand @@Superbus753
⚡M2 is not just slightly better than m1. Its cache design improved a lot. I have seem it tested by compiling smaller project like a Firefox android app, and it is faster than m1 PRO. Yes, faster than m1 pro not just slightly better than m1. Like a company, a well organized one can be more productive, when the workflow is improved, the additional workers are not proportional to the increased in productivity, although it does not apply to every type of workload. And a lot of people say m2 is even more power hungry than m1, which is true but only under extreme load. In real life, even heavy loads have light tasks in between, and for many people, under medium to light load, m2 consumes quite a bit less power than m1. So I wouldn't say m2 is barely better than m1.
90% of people don't need more than the M1 Pro
First comment? Yeah ❤
Title is Macbook PRO and most of review is Macbook Air... hm
I have a 2014 laptop with no graphics card and having the m1 would be a huge upgrade. you saying the M1 is for basic tasks.....😂😂
A 2014 machine is fine for Puppy Linux. 😜
Just buy whichever MacBook Pro (M1/M2/M3 pro) that you can best afford. It's such a good choice, but ensure ram is at least 16GB, anything less is no bueno (regardless of what others say)
@@MonsieurGuy I have an early 2015 MacBook pro with intel and wanna get the MacBook Pro m3 pro. I do a lot of web browsing for work using a lot of chrome extensions.

@@MonsieurGuy totally agree 16gb is absolute minimum. (else you also risk premature death of the ssd wich means a dead mac as it is soldered on and cant be easily replaced)
