What are your thoughts on the thermals? Have you noticed if the computer heats up easily or if the fans kick in more often during tasks, given the M4 Max chip in the 14-inch model?
The M1 Pro had 3 Thunderbolt 4 ports and without a Thunderbolt 5 cable/supported drive you are unlikely to see a difference between the two devices. Also, are you sure you are using hard drives? Pretty sure the T9 is an SSD, which is hugely different than a hard drive. The last thing most don't recommend is the Max in the 14in since the thermals aren't optimal for the chip, so you would get more throttling than a 16in. However, if the portability is important, I can see that being an ok trade-off. Overall, nice video, tho!
I saw that Thunderbolt 4 is 40gbps and Thunderbolt 5 is 80-120gbps (so double or triple depending cable) & yes SSD! yeah the throttling may be an issue, but haven't seen it be one yet and hopefully not too bad since I love the 14" for travel!
@@gravel.travelthe T9 use usb 3x2 technology, not TB technology. On any MacBook you will connect it, the speed will be 10gbs If you want to use T9 full speed you need a PC with usb3x2 port. To get the fastest transfer on a MacBook you should have a TB ssd, or build one with an enclosure
I bought the M4 Pro 16”. Best laptop I’ve owned including my M1 Max. The thing is a beast for this Prosumer.
Sleep mode is better or shutdown for longevity I am new Mac user
Great video

The max 14inch will throttle, it is recommended to stick to the pro chips
I have cleanMyMac running in the background showing the thermals, memory, etc and it does seem to be always running at 100*F+

M4 Pro in Macbook air 15 inch will be my dream, if thermal is not an issue.
Yes this would be incredible!
transferring things over the studio displays slows things down dramatically
