Spawn mate…… I been out with the big gun camera today (fuji xt4) Pain in the assame getting it together (still learning the ropes!!!!) My mind is leading me your way and just use the iPhone 12
I love that your reviews are based on personal experiences - like what you said about the LG TV being the best TV you've ever owned - or how the bigger macbook and iphone screens suit your workflow better. I appreciate the fact that you don't make it about specs and geekbench scores but about your personal experience with the product
Thank you mate. I appreciate that. Believe me, I’m not a ‘RUclipsr’, I’m just a guy that buys things, uses them, then makes a video haha. I’m pleased you’ve seen that in my videos.
I've been using the OG 15" MaBook Pro Retina for nearly 10 years now and as my decade closes, I upgraded to the 14" M1 Max MacBook Pro. I've always been envious of the portability of the 13" MBP models of past years, but could never sacrifice the dedicated GPU in the larger model. The new 14" is almost exactly what I dreamed of in terms of fulfilling the desires of a more portable machine, while being as massively powerful as the larger model. In terms of screen real estate, it's super easy to choose a slightly smaller scaling setting in the MacOS display preferences to digitally make up for the reduced physical space and I think that provide enough utility for me to not feel like I'm missing anything by not going with the 16" model.
Agree, I went from a late 2013 MBP 15" to a 2021 14", even in base model it's so much better! Yes the display settings can certainly compensate for reduced real estate, very happy with the 14"
@@legjakabb The crazy thing is that my OG Retina is still alive and running and pretty much can still do anything. It's not as fast as a modern machine, but it still kicks.
The 15" retina was 2880 x 1800 pixels. The 14" is 3024 x 1964. You gain actual pixels. Last year's 16" macbook pro was 3072 x 1920 so you almost have the same resolution as the outgoing 16" macbook pro on the new 14" macbook pro
Watching this on the 14" Macbook Pro... This is my first ever MacBook and wow this device is beautiful and just amazing, and every time I book it up the screen blows me away each time
Still love how your reviews always show real life practicality. Along with depth and anything we could think of, you took care of in the review. Still think you’re super underrated! Keep it up! ❤️
Great review mate as always! I wouldn't mind the 14" as its a great size, but the extra screen boosted power mode and longer battery life would draw me more to the 16"
@@Amine382 I think it is heavy and unwieldy for most people but you get used to it. I personally wouldn’t go for a smaller laptop. I like having a bigger canvas to work with and I’m happy to sacrifice weight for it
Looking at your production with just an iPhone and how clean the reels and b-rolls, I'm surprised you don't get more subs. Great content, keep it up Chris!
Love the screen size on the 16”, but ultimately went 14” for myself. I think either way, I wouldn’t have any regrets. And super impressed to know you shot this on your iPhone, great work!
RUclips is going full circle, people came here for the slightly raw and genuine content rather than organisations and news outlets. Ironically so many of the you tubers who we watched instead are now very much like those big organisations. Keep keeping it real matey. It’s gonna be slower growth than these click bait channels but they’re destroying their credibility along the way. Another superb video bud.
Thank you mate, I appreciate comments like this. I’m truly trying to keep it real, from personal experience and real use. Thanks for sticking around too 🙏
I still can’t decide but since I edit all day on my laptop I think I should do 16inch. I haven’t even been doing a lot of traveling lately so wish me luck lol
unless you have lots of money to spend I'd be careful with the specs. you don't necessarily need the M1 max or 32gb ram for good performance. if you're editing videos or photos I would take the 16 inch base model
Same, i had the 14" but sold it as i felt it was too cramped. That notch was the nail in the hammer, it was all i was looking at. Got the 16" and haven't looked back.
I have been trying to decide which MacBook Pro to purchase and almost every single video is about creating videos which I do not do but your video is only the second one that I have actually been able to partially comprehend since I do not create videos. After watching this video I believe the MacBook Pro for me is the 14” MacBook Pro. Thank you for making this video and using simpler wording so someone at my level can get at least some idea of whether the specs of the M1 MacBook Pro are for me! Thank you, SpawnPoiint.
I bought the 14" base model, but over the last couple of weeks of owning it can't help but to think that I should have gotten a bigger screen. It's an amazing laptop all-around, but the 16" seems like a better value all-around considering that even spec for spec it is still higher performing, stays cooler and the screen is just superb. Granted this is my primary editing screen as I don't like to rely on external displays
go for bigger screen if that ur desktop replacement. For people that own a desktop with multi screens like me, I prefer a 14" for portability and I mirror to my 27inch 4K screen anyway.
I went for the base 14" model with the 1tb storage upgrade. I think it was worth it, worth the money at least. I don't replace computers very often so this was a big deal for me as until last December my main computer was a 2012 mbp, and that was second hand when i bought it in 2015 so as you can imagine the change has been immense! This 2021 14" is smaller and lighter than the 2012 13" despite having a bigger screen. The only downsides are software issues, some older apps aren't supported on the later versions (Catalina and later) so the old mac still has a job to do. I enjoyed your video, thanks.
I got the 14", but in System Preferences you can change the aspect ratio to make more items fit on the screen... I find that helps a lot to make the laptop screen more usable. Scaled --> More Space
The 16” comes with a couple of bonuses: the display is larger, you will get more of that beautiful mini led display, the bezels look slimmer due to the ratios, the notch looks smaller for the same reason. The 16” gets a larger trackpad which is more convenient to use and the speakers are better giving richer sound. As far as battery life the 16” gets three hours more in terms of web browsing, and also gets a more powerful 140 watt power supply.
They should of added a USB port on the right. Keep the right side ports the same exact as the 2015. This would eliminate the need for any dongles or adapters completely.
Great video mate! High quality as always! I just ordered a silver 16” last week and can’t wait for it. The decision was so hard but I’m mostly gonna have it in my home and the small boost in price was nothing since I hope that will keep me away from an external monitor and everything that comes with a desktop setup 😅
I think the base 14" is the model to buy, maybe upgrade the storage if you need more, but if you're starting to spend more money upgrading the CPU/GPU, it's time to see if the $200 to make the jump to 16" will be worth it because having more storage or more screen will be far more noticeable than having two more CPU/GPU cores.
The last Mac I had was the MacBook Air that came out in 2017.. Purchased it in 2019. I decided to treat myself to the MacBook M1 Pro 14in, I plan on using the computer for “light” gameplay footage editing, homework,RUclips, everyday usage etc. The Mac book air I had was a 13.3 inch- and I would like something a tad bit bigger but not big like the 16inch. Although the 16inch screen is nice it’s not something that’s necessarily needed for what I plan on using it for. As for silver or space grey I can’t decide . But super excited to get an updated MacBook. Thanks for the great video!
The amazing thing about these new M1 Macbooks is even if you buy the lowest model one available, you're *still* looking at a device that can easily handle 4k video editing and *most* tasks that you throw at it. Anyone looking to buy this Macbook but aren't sure about its performance? *You got nothing to worry about* 👌🏻
This made my day. lol I have been looking around to get this answer! I'm planing on getting the 14" with the base one, 8 core CPU and 14 core GPU with 1TB and wondering if this is enough to edit 4k video and now I got the answer. Thank you thank you thank you! :)
Thank you!!! I was thinking of getting the 13” old version, but I’m sold on the new 14”!!! Especially since it does have the new M1 chip that I’ve heard works so good!!!
Had the 14" but it felt super cramped. I thought maybe 16" but was concerned as everybody was complaining about it's weight. Bought the 16" have never looked back and it doesn't weigh much at all, definitely still a portable device by a mile.
Just purchased the 14", love the power of the new M1 Pro Chip, the beautiful display, and the very portable size. I'm sure the 16" would be easier to use, however, I can't deny the portability of the 14"!!!
I just got the 16GB 10core/16 core 1TB model and am BLOWN AWAY at its performance...when editing vids its crazy fast......like a totally different animal from the XPS 13 I came from......
So the basic model will be more than capable for 4k editing? I edit on my 2020 iPad Pro and I’m looking to get into Final Cut Pro and feel I don’t need a maxed spec laptop. Would you agree?
@@SpawnPoiint before I complete my order, I have a question… Even though I have Final Cut Pro, I rather use LumaFusion. Do you believe that the M2 Air would be able to serve the purpose of daily/weekly editing on LumaFusion or should I get the Pro?
is the battery on the 14" good enough for all day, im in college for computer science and im just not sure if the extra money on the 16 is worth it for the battery. I prefer the portability of the 14 more im just worried about battery life.
100%. The 14 will easily last a day out and about. I edited and exported an entire video while on battery. So normal use (not video editing) will last the day no problem.
Here as I’ve been using an iPad with a keyboard to try and get my business off the ground but because of the smaller screen size, lack of OS features I’m thinking of biting the bullet and just getting this
Thanks for the video! Coming from the 2017 15" MacBook Pro, the 14" M1 Pro was the way to go for me. I love the portability of the new machine compared to my old one. The only reason I went with the 15" in the past was for the dedicated graphics card, but that's a moot point now as the M1 Pro 16 core GPU destroys my old Radeon Pro 560.
Over the last 5 yesrs I’ve gone: MacBook 12” to MacBook Air 13 to MacBook Pro 15 to MacBook Pro 16 (with a MacBook Air M1 for travel).. and now yesterday just ordered the baseline MacBook Pro 14 aiming for that as the only machine going forward. I’m not doing video/photo editing, mainly ICT process-design, architecture and documentation.
I bought the 13" M1 MBP in 2020 but just recently upgraded to the base model 14" MBP. I had more than enough power with the M1 for my workflow which is just streaming, web browsing and school work so the M1 Pro is definitely overkill but I really wanted the ports and the mini-LED screen. So far I am loving the new 14" and it does everything I need my laptop to do and I feel like it is future proofed for at least the next 5-6 years.
Same here I have the air and I love it. It handles everything even video editing on davincci resolve with no problem. But I wanted bigger screen but no t to big. And more ports. This is the perfect size.
I went with the 14’ with an upgrade 10 core 16 ram. I dock it to a monitor. This was a mistake 🤔 while I love the portability. I have grown to never want to use a desktop dock set up . The better monitor, battery life and speakers I find myself never working in the studio. I grab the MacBook Pro and work on the patio, among family and friends, in the park etc. I would buy the 16’ and trash the dock and external monitor. This machine has changed the way I work.

Have you tried different resolutions with ScreenResX?
I choose the 14inch even though I like the bigger screen of the 16, to me the 14inch looks more premium looking, the 16inch looks less premium, that’s just my opinion
@@lambertj.2892no they don’t lol one looks cheap with a whole bunch of awkward space around it, huge trackpad and super bulky and the other one looks sleek with edge to edge keys leading it to look more crisp and sharp from open to close.
I can compare you to MKBHD btw!! Tbh i subscribed to this channel because i really and honestly enjoy your reviews 💯 they’re so good and i like how you’ve grown since i found your channel😁
Great content as always!! I bought an LG monitor too and in part because you are loving yours! I am a bit stuck at the moment on what to get. I am running a 2015 15" Macbook pro as an audio recordist, video editor and creative. I love it and will probably keep it for the nostalgia. But it is proving to be way too loud when I am doing studio work and even right now the fans are screaming at me lol. So this is where I need help! Do I - Save up and grab a 14" maybe early next year? Or just grab a mac mini m1 16gb to replace to desktop setup and use the 15" as my portable. I need a laptop as my studio is in the garage and I do arrangements with my band from it. Also I think these new macbooks are perfect for I/O and I don't want to feel like I am sacrificing on that front. Again thanks for the content bro - especially great to see UK content
How do you feel about it? Decided to go for the 8 Core as well but with 16 ram and 1 tb. Been thinking back and forth if I made the mistake of not getting the 10 core instead. Well. Time will tell.
@@johanlantto Honestly I don't think the 2 cores would make a huge difference. I've had plenty of complex plug-ins running in Ableton and haven't had an issue yet!
@@lennonl.4370 Thanks. Was a bit worried I made the ”wrong” choice but I’m upgrading from a MacBook Pro 2015 with 8 Ram so I can’t really go wrong. System overload all the time with that thing. Have some guitar stuff on my channel. Saw that you’re a guitar player. Feel free to check it out. 🎵
Really great video. I am honestly split between sizes. 16 inch would be great but not great for traveling. 14 inch on the other hand is very close in price to the 16 inch, so why not go for the bigger screen, better cooling, better battery life and slightly better speakers?
Thank you for the continued support everyone 🙏

You cannot upgrade storage,everything is unified
I was on the fence about getting the 16” but after watching this video, I’m definitely getting the 16” inch. Since I won’t be using a desktop.
I'm getting the 14" base model. Those MacBooks are the best laptop in almost every aspect (apart from gaming)
16” is my sweet spot. 14” was tempting. Don’t plan on traveling with it. And it wasn’t that much more.

I am looking forward to the get the 14 inch with a 1TB and 16 Gigs of ram with 10 core. I will use it for business and photo editing.
I would go for the 14“ model as I don‘t like laptops that are as massive as the 16“ version 🌟.
The 14" is the perfect balance too mate.
Great review and video! I went with the 14 inch M1 with 16 ram and 494gb storage. Great machine!
is that grey or silver? nice video!
I have been waiting for this video
Thanks for watching
What a soothing review
Thanks for watching
I was wondering, considering the basic specs, can you video editing with Final Cut Pro with this one? 🤔🤔
Ordering my 14” this week!
Nice one. Enjoy.
@@SpawnPoiint before I complete my order, I have a question…
Even though I have Final Cut Pro, I rather use LumaFusion. Do you believe that the M2 Air would be able to serve the purpose of daily/weekly editing on LumaFusion or should I get the Pro?
is the battery on the 14" good enough for all day, im in college for computer science and im just not sure if the extra money on the 16 is worth it for the battery. I prefer the portability of the 14 more im just worried about battery life.
100%. The 14 will easily last a day out and about. I edited and exported an entire video while on battery. So normal use (not video editing) will last the day no problem.
@@SpawnPoiint Thanks! I'll save my money then and go for the 14"
Love your Reviews
Thanks mate, I appreciate your regular comments too.
@@SpawnPoiint need to watch your 2 latest videos
Very well done video.
Here as I’ve been using an iPad with a keyboard to try and get my business off the ground but because of the smaller screen size, lack of OS features I’m thinking of biting the bullet and just getting this
Thanks for the video! Coming from the 2017 15" MacBook Pro, the 14" M1 Pro was the way to go for me. I love the portability of the new machine compared to my old one. The only reason I went with the 15" in the past was for the dedicated graphics card, but that's a moot point now as the M1 Pro 16 core GPU destroys my old Radeon Pro 560.
Great choice too mate
@@SpawnPoiint thanks!
Over the last 5 yesrs I’ve gone: MacBook 12” to MacBook Air 13 to MacBook Pro 15 to MacBook Pro 16 (with a MacBook Air M1 for travel).. and now yesterday just ordered the baseline MacBook Pro 14 aiming for that as the only machine going forward. I’m not doing video/photo editing, mainly ICT process-design, architecture and documentation.
Got me hyped to get mine!
A good and concise review. Thank you!
I bought the 13" M1 MBP in 2020 but just recently upgraded to the base model 14" MBP. I had more than enough power with the M1 for my workflow which is just streaming, web browsing and school work so the M1 Pro is definitely overkill but I really wanted the ports and the mini-LED screen. So far I am loving the new 14" and it does everything I need my laptop to do and I feel like it is future proofed for at least the next 5-6 years.
Same here I have the air and I love it. It handles everything even video editing on davincci resolve with no problem. But I wanted bigger screen but no t to big. And more ports. This is the perfect size.
finally picked up an M1 Pro 14in to replace my Pro I messed up last year and I love this thing
Hey I love ur vids
I love ur room setup
Genuinely helpful. Cheers bro
Thank you.
Best comparison and review. I will go for 16inch.
I always assumed you were a ‘larger’ dude, but mans in god shape!! 👍🏽
haha thanks
Great review!!! 👍🏻
Thank you 🙏
Is the base version of 14" worth for a programmer/Developer or should I stick with the air?
Great review, loving the MacBook
Thank you!
I went with the 14’ with an upgrade 10 core 16 ram. I dock it to a monitor. This was a mistake 🤔 while I love the portability. I have grown to never want to use a desktop dock set up . The better monitor, battery life and speakers I find myself never working in the studio. I grab the MacBook Pro and work on the patio, among family and friends, in the park etc. I would buy the 16’ and trash the dock and external monitor. This machine has changed the way I work.
Have you tried different resolutions with ScreenResX?
Love this
Great video mate thank you!
Thank you 🙏
I’ve ordered the 16”. Max. Just got to wait until August 🙃
Great choice too
I choose the 14inch even though I like the bigger screen of the 16, to me the 14inch looks more premium looking, the 16inch looks less premium, that’s just my opinion
they look exactly the same, except one is bigger. LOL.
@@lambertj.2892no they don’t lol one looks cheap with a whole bunch of awkward space around it, huge trackpad and super bulky and the other one looks sleek with edge to edge keys leading it to look more crisp and sharp from open to close.
Chris always coming with that straight 🔥🔥keep it up mate 💪🏾❤️
Thank you mate.
@@SpawnPoiint need to add you on PSN I’ve heard your COD skills are God like 😅
Wow man your videos are clean 🧼
I can compare you to MKBHD btw!! Tbh i subscribed to this channel because i really and honestly enjoy your reviews 💯 they’re so good and i like how you’ve grown since i found your channel😁
Thank you for the support!
Cool video keep it up 👍.
Dam man your desks so sleek wit the ps5!
I really enjoy your videos! they're so informative. Hmmm... do you think the latest Macbook Air would be good to edit videos?
Great content as always!! I bought an LG monitor too and in part because you are loving yours! I am a bit stuck at the moment on what to get. I am running a 2015 15" Macbook pro as an audio recordist, video editor and creative. I love it and will probably keep it for the nostalgia. But it is proving to be way too loud when I am doing studio work and even right now the fans are screaming at me lol. So this is where I need help! Do I - Save up and grab a 14" maybe early next year? Or just grab a mac mini m1 16gb to replace to desktop setup and use the 15" as my portable. I need a laptop as my studio is in the garage and I do arrangements with my band from it. Also I think these new macbooks are perfect for I/O and I don't want to feel like I am sacrificing on that front. Again thanks for the content bro - especially great to see UK content
As a creator this was an incredibly helpful review! Thank you!
Just ordered my base spec 14 inch MBP. I'll use it for school and music production. Your video made me feel better about my decision, thank you
How do you feel about it? Decided to go for the 8 Core as well but with 16 ram and 1 tb. Been thinking back and forth if I made the mistake of not getting the 10 core instead. Well. Time will tell.
@@johanlantto Honestly I don't think the 2 cores would make a huge difference. I've had plenty of complex plug-ins running in Ableton and haven't had an issue yet!
@@lennonl.4370 Thanks for letting me know. I went for the 32 ram, not 16. So that would probably help a little bit as well.
@@johanlantto Yeah I'd rather have double the RAM instead of 2 cores. You made a good choice.
@@lennonl.4370 Thanks. Was a bit worried I made the ”wrong” choice but I’m upgrading from a MacBook Pro 2015 with 8 Ram so I can’t really go wrong. System overload all the time with that thing.
Have some guitar stuff on my channel. Saw that you’re a guitar player. Feel free to check it out. 🎵
Really great video. I am honestly split between sizes. 16 inch would be great but not great for traveling. 14 inch on the other hand is very close in price to the 16 inch, so why not go for the bigger screen, better cooling, better battery life and slightly better speakers?
Though one mate. It's why I am using the 16" for myself now.
I have the same dilemma - portability vs. bigger screen
