What if I told you that size might be the first difference you notice between these two laptops, but it’s definitely not the only one, and there are things that the 16” model can do, that the 14” - can’t.
I bought the base and Maxed out versions of the 14 and 16” M2 MacBook Pro with my own money, so let’s get some answers.

Like many others, I was tossed between the 14” and 16” for a long time. I ended up with the 16”, and *it is not too heavy to carry in a backpack.* If anyone is worrying about this like I was; *do not worry.* Picking it up in the store and trying to get a feel of it is not enough - it does not compare to carrying it in a backpack. It like carrying a couple books, nothing more.
I do not regret the 16” one bit. However, I got the *base* M2 Max, which I do not recommend unless you know you’re going to use it. So far I haven’t, and I could’ve easily worked with a base M2 Pro, but I will, which is my excuse.
In terms of power, let me put it this way: If your passion is woodcarving, there’s no need to waste money on a chainsaw; If your passion is furniture making, then a chainsaw might help you process the wood a little quicker, but you’ll still technically be able to build furniture with a carving knife.
I will, however, recommend 1TB SSD and 32GB Unified Memory, prioritizing memory over the SSD.
Recommend: 16’’ - 32ram and -512ssd ???
I made same mistake last year with M1 Max, I will be definitely fine with M1 Pro even with 16GB ram, but I think its also future proof, I think I will change M1 Max for M4 or even M5.
Glad someone finally said it I got the M2 16 and it is definitely not as heavy as everyone claims it to be to carry. I love mine! I also bought a 15 inch air and that went back to the store.
@@seanminser-wg3hbits 2.1 kilos. That is a heavy laptop by all measures and account.
When is a laptop not heavy? 5 kg? 10kg? Lol
@@DipSet85get in they gym my guy
The conclusion is always the same. Buy what suits you.
Too often people think they want the 13“ Air or 14“ Pro, then they also get a 12,9“ iPad Pro and ask themself later why their notebook is too small for serious stuff and why their 12,9“ tablet is so unusable as tablet…
I was going thru 15,4“ and 17“ MacBook Pros, tried a 14“ windows convertible with pen (as 2in1 for university), and with a 10 year old MacBook Pro i just upgraded to the 16“ M1 Pro. Just the fact that a 2021 16“ MBP is smaller and lighter than 15,4“ models should be enough to realize that 15-16“ is still the king in universal usage (not too small like 13-14“, yet not too big as well like 17“+)
Yea the video wasn’t helpful at all
Got the 16” mbp base model. In store thought the 16” was too big compared to the 14” but having used it for the better part of two months I do not regret my purchase. I do however wish I got the 1tb storage instead. I’m by no means a “professional” but I find myself relying on an external ssd to store family photos/videos and edit off of it as well. For those that use their laptops on the plane on the tiny tray well more power to you I don’t know how you do it I personally just sleep on the plane 😅
I’m jealous.. I bought the 13” M1 but now.. I def want the 16” m2.

I appreciate the feedback. Thank you for being part of the channel!
I got the 14” MacBook Pro. And while it is a small screen(I’m used to a 27” iMac) I’m pretty happy with it. It’s very portable and it does everything the same.
CONGRATS on the new MacBook. I'm super glad to hear that you're happy with the size and portability! Thanks for being part of the channel!
I always look forward to your reviews. I have been SO close to pulling the trigger on the MBP 14 many times.
Thanks Bryan! It's such a good laptop. If you can find a good deal on the M1 Pro - it's an exceptional value.
@@TechGearTalk I agree. Best Buy has the base M1 on sale. VERY tempting.
I bought the 16 m2 (I had the 2016 intel version) for battery life and screen size and quality. Those two features were the most important for my business requirements. The rest is all nice to have.
ive got a 2018 macbook pro i bought from a friend years ago on the cheap, I cant wait to get rid of this over heating pile of garbage, but it got me through some tough times
I need a damn 15 inch pro m2 model!!
I always go for bigger screen sizes, when it comes to iPhone I chose the Max models and my very first Macbook Pro is going to be a 16" model. I know I will love it, for work, for watching movies etc.
@@JT-oc2dn I don't live in USA
@@JT-oc2dn why
haha you helped me validate my purchase of the @16' MBP - love your in-depth review and clear concise information. very informative and you kept it engaging the entire time. at first I considered the 14' but the 16' will be easier on my eyes as I do have some vision issues. new subscriber & new youtuber 🙂
guys go for Mac 14 pro m1 ...its cheap now ...but a real monster 16 gb 512
Where can you buy it? I can’t see anywhere official to buy a new one in the UK
Definitely worth looking into!
@@tjgriffiths6856 in the US, places like Best Buy are still purging their inventory of M1s. Maybe there’s a similar store in the UK? Sorry I couldn’t help more, I’m v much an ignorant American 😂😅
@@shenanigans96 haha, no worries, thank you!
It's still very expensive in the UK. Only £100 less than m2 pro
CPU is not as important as people think -- you interact with a keyboard, trackpad, ports, and display; you only wait on the CPU. Unless the wait is outrageous, it's just not as important as what you look at and listen to and touch.
As far as the 16" being too big, I would have bought a 17" if I could.
Where can I get those wallpapers?
i love the wallpapers on your mac. Where did you get them from?
I am thinking of getting the 16GB version - I know you recommended 32 GB but wanted to know if that is still necessary?
Good review, can you tell me what the background wallpaper is on your laptop at the 0:27 second mark?
The 16' is heavy, but not too heavy to carry it around - for comparison, the Dell XPS 15 OLED wighs around 4.3 lbs. I frequently shift where I work from (Desk to couch to dining table) and having that extra real estate enures that I don't have to drag my external portable display around. If you have decided on the 16 inch, make sure you upgrade to 32GB and at least 1T. It is the sweet spot for most users, particularly programmers and creators and will ensure that your laptop will stand the test of time and all those MX series of chips to come. Also, you can always find an M1 Max, especially refurbished ones with the 32GB/1TB config in the 2K range, which is a good price knowing that an M2 14' with similar specs will run you several hundred dollars over. Compared to the 14inch, the 16 inch is more comfortable to use for extended periods due to the larger room to support the base of your palms. Also, get a GAN charger that can pump out 100W so you dont have to carry the brick around.
The difference between the two models is only $500 and for long term investment for at least 3-4 years it's is wise to get the 16 inch even the base model
Just ordered my first ever MacBook. Decided on a 16” MacBook Pro w M2 Pro chip from the Apple Certified Refurbished store. Was also looking at a ‘new’ 16” MacBook Pro w M1 chip (late 2021 model) on sale from B & H Photo for $300 less. That one had less CPU & less GPU, but was ‘new’. Did I screw up..should I have gotten the older model from B & H? Just felt more confident buying from Apple. B & H has a no return policy on MacBooks..seemed kind of shaky to me.
Hi! I know the question isn't directed at me but I hope you don't mind my input.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting properly refurbished devices and it opens opportunity to those who may not be able to purchase the device brand new. All refurbished means is that it was previously owned, repaired and tested to a certain standard. It has been used to a certain degree, therefore, the manufacturer has to label it as such and cannot charge full retail value. The fact you got it certified from Apple means you can rest assured it will be in top condition. I personally will always buy from a brand store or outlet for similar return/warranty policies.
Because that's what you're concerned about, you made the right call. Apple will also be able to help you easier because you purchased directly from them.
Those wallpapers are awesome! Do you have a link to them?
There is no reason to not buy the 16” unless you are on a tight budget or you are a small person with tiny hands. The 16” is king period.
Or if portability is a priority for you.
@@TechGearTalk very true! great video man I subscribed
Yesterday o trade my 2019 intel i7 16” MacBook Pro for the 2023 M2 16”. Awesome upgrade all the way. This is my 4th 16” (two 15” actually) since 2009. This was a very consistent upgrade.
Hey so I‘ve found a very good desl on an 14“ m2 max. And just wanted to know if there are any performance downgrades compared to the 16“ m2 max.
I am considering a new M2 Macbook Pro 14 inch or a refurbished M1 Macbook Pro 16 inch. I am really struggling to decide. How do they compare? What would you go for?
I went with the 14" it's perfect between portability and functionality.
The most worthwhile upgrade is from the 512GB SSD to the 1T. The 1T has 4 SSD chips, while the 512 only has 2.
Thank you
Built in SSD capacity doesn’t really matter if you get an external SSD.
I reaching the age where I need to get the 16 inch now. 13 is just too small for me.
how old are you?
Thank you for your videos. You just saved me from making a big mistake: I was going for a 15” MBA, but I needed at least 16gb of UM & 1 TB of storage… at that point, 2300€ of MBA looked ridiculous!
2 questions:
1) what is the benchmarking app you show on screen while comparing fans speed?
2) is there a chart of SSD speeds that compares MBA & MBP & the different sizes of storage?
Thank you!
New sub excellent breakdown. After review you picked the 16 in the model for me. It seemed it hit the most future proofing spots. I'm saving up to get 32 or 64 GB ram. I usually buy base models from the Apple store. Speakers were one of the reason's I went 16.2 route. SSD 1 TB or 2 TB is all I'll ever need.
Have a 16” M1Pro MBP. Fine for travel until weight becomes an issue. Travelled recently with that and a iPad Air M1. Could have used a smaller machine I think…maybe a MacBook Air 13”. Just not sure how nether an Air or a 14” MBP would be better.
that wallpaper is sick in the first scene where can I get that?
I like your wallpapers. Where can I get these?
I'm willing to purchase MacBook Pro i need a suggestion 14 inches with m2 of 1tb or 16 inches with m2 of 512 gb ? what would you prefer i'm a student of Studying Engineering !.. would you suggest me one ? please
same freakin question bro
I wanna know if 512 is enough for such machine
If you edit videos en Davinci Resolve, which specs would you recommend for the 16 model? Is usually mainly 4K footage in HLG from my Sony A73.
I'm using 14" m2 pro 16gb 1tb for davinci and it's brilliant.
4'58 what is this gorgeous wallpaper please ? Thanks
I ordered the 16 MacBook M2 Pro 16ram and 1TB SSD. I don’t do anything crazy like 4k video editing. I almost got the 15 inch MacBook Air M2 but decided the mini LED 120 pro motion display won me over. Is 16ram enough? Now I’m thinking if I made a mistake future-proofing the device 🤔
If you don't do anything heavy, you'll be fine with 16GB for a long time. CONGRATS!!!
@@TechGearTalk I don’t do anything too crazy other than make some home movies editing those videos a little. Probably as heavy as it’ll get and maybe some light gaming like league or legends or RuneScape. The 15 inch MacBook Air m2 with 24ram 1TB ssd is $700 less than my 16 inch MacBook Pro 16ram 1TB. Did I overspend just to get the pro motion display? Or do you think the 15 Air with more ram is better?
@@vladcodeThe air is plenty it’s can keep up until u start doing the heavy intensive apps like logic & blender 20 minute videos etc.. The air is more then capable & 24gb of ram on the air is a waste it’s already bottleneck at 16gb lol
@@ralph6164 I decided to keep the pro. Specing up the air to 16/1TB it’s only $90 less than a 16/512 pro 14 which is more than enough for most people. I just liked the bigger micro led. Pro motion display and speakers
@@vladcode I had the 14 M1 Pro traded it in eventually got the air m2 base decided that wasn’t going cut we all did see what Apple did in order to have good Air you already in Pro territory some would call it good marketing but it’s just Apple greed to make the all the m2 ssd slower than last year like come on that’s an automatic $200 upgrade & most not going be able to deal with the small 8gb so that’s two must have upgrades that’s just greed 😩
even if it was the same price with specs and stuff, i would still pick the 14 inch
why? tell me the reasons please.
Are any of these good for having? I really want one for productivity but i also want to play games on it
Depends on what you play. In general - I wouldn't get a MacBook for gaming though.
Het there! Where to get this kind of wallpapers?
Driving myself crazy on either M2 max 38 core 64 gb 1tb
Or
M1 Max 32 core 64gb 2tb
I do music and use a lot of plugins in Protools and I do music videos in adobe Premiere 4k footage
And I also do alittle streaming Xbox and I want to do RUclips tutorials
Which one do you guys think is better

Really happy to be your subscriber !
Good Luck All The Way !
Im so stuck i dont need the performance of the cpu and gpu but want the battery life and speakers and display of the 16" so i guess im going to get the beast...what really made my mind though was the heat dissipation and cooling of the 16"...thanks for the awesome review
So glad it was helpful!! Hope you love your 16!
Excellent review!
Thank you kindly! Super appreciate you!
Should I wait til next year and the M3's come out?
Here’s how i look at it. if you need something now, get it now. If you can wait, always wait. You’ll end up getting something better for the same price or the same thing for a lower price. Hope that helps.
Hi everyone. Where can I find these wallpapers on macbook pro ? They look amazing
Just got a s7+ tablet, it's up to the mark except the battery. It has 10090mah yet why does it last no more than 8hours (100-10%)? Is this normal. Or is my battery faulty?

16 is too big if you actually need to use it on the go, i.e. I do a lot of coding on the train and think my 13 inch is the limit for doing this comfortably
I’m using my m1 max 16 in plane without issue, its not that big as most ppl think and screen is much better if you are “in the go” also coding and on 16 inch is much comfortable than on 13 or 14
@@ShredzZ did I mention it is just too expensive also? I have handled them i the shop and find them too heavy. 14 or 13, please.
I just ordered the base MacBook Pro 16 inch, but with 1tb ssd. Now after watching the video I regret not buying it with 32GB of ram. Does it make a big difference or am I still good to go with 16gb?
Depends on what you plan to do. Coding? 16 is good. Heavy video editing? 32 for sure.
If you can reorder, I would get the 32. Otherwise, 16 is fine.
I am looking to get the 16 inch MacBook Pro with 32 GB of RAM with the M2 Pro (12-core CPU and 19-core GPU), along with 1 TB of SSD storage.
Apps I am reliant on:
Final Cut Pro
Motion
Logic Pro
Ableton Live 11
Plenty of external software plugins
Finder
I was looking into getting the 14 inch with 16gb of ram and probably just 512gb of storage for music production. Think that should be all I need??
If just music production, then yes.
But for me, I also edit videos with Final Cut Pro and make motion graphics with Motion. That’s why I’m looking to get the 16 inch MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

Been looking to upgrade to a 16” M2 Max model for 4k video editing and motion graphics. But a part of me wants to consider the M1 Max 16. Any recommendations?
@@pocholofelix there is a %20 percent upgrade approximately, if the render taking 10 minutes on M1 Max it will take 8 minutes on the M2 Max. If you don’t have both you can go for the M2 Max but if you have the M1 Max upgrading is useless.
My school gave me a 16’ M2 Pro so I’m good
So good!
@@TechGearTalk it is good. I was so impressed by it.
Apple, can you throw in a numerical keyboard for the 16” models?
I am currently debating between a 16” M1 Max 32gb for $2499 or a 14” m2 pro 16gb for $1750. I can’t make up my mind. I love the screen, speakers and larger touchpad on the 16” - but I don’t love how cumbersome it is to carry around. I mostly use it at home but even trying to use it on my lap on the sofa or in bed is really uncomfortable. I love the form factor of the 14”, but the screen feels more cramped after using the 16”.
So… I dunno if anyone has any opinions or suggestions on what they’d do in my shoes but just wanted to vent and see if anyone could help steer me towards one or the other.
Realistically I won’t need all the m1 power and could probably get away with the lower RAM on the 14” model but I got such a great deal on the M1 Max that I don’t really mind if it’s over powered, as I hold onto my laptops typically for many years (I’m upgrading from a decade old asus).
16“ M1 Max, especially since you cant really use the 14“.
I had similar issues once…. 14“ model with 1TB SSD or 16“ base model with „just“ 16/512. As much i only would have needed a base M1, but 16/512 at least for a bit futureproofing the Air were not even considered (beside missing SD card slot etc)
I was going for the 16“. In my experience you only begin to miss some things the 14“ wont give you as well: touch, pen support, real mobility as with the netbooks called MacBook Air M1/M2.
What really proved me right about the 16“ decision (for serious work, multitasking etc) was the fact that with an iPad (prefferable the 11“ Air or Pro) you get just the „perfect“ laptop and the „perfect“ tablet, no need for an oversized tablet or a undersized notebook/laptop.
I personally will suggest 16 inch, and about the performance, will suggest the M1 Pro or m2 pro.
About the Size of it, as you are mostly work at home, let's say if you are on desk, then of course 16 inch will works better, unless you have a really small desk. And for on the lap, unless it is really uncomfortable, the height of 16 inch will comfort your neck.
But there are also another perspective, if you are the person mostly work on desk, you may want to get an external screen, which will give you 24-27 inch screen size, in that case, 14 inch can save you money and weight, this really depends on your personal need.
Oh, and by the way, if you really want a lightweight laptop, unless you really need m1/2 pro power, the m1 MacBook Air or m2 MacBook Air can be really sweet. And the rumors seems to indicate apple is working on a 15 inch MacBook Air, so if you don't need the power and can wait for a while, that one can also be really interesting to look at.
I personally had used 2015 MacBook Pro 15 inch and m1 MacBook Air, my next Mac will lean towards to 16 inch, as when I went back to my old 15 inch, even though that's a slow machine, but I quite enjoy the screen size.
Specification wise, as you mentioned, you don't need that much performance, so I would suggest you can wait for some good deals for M1 Pro 16 inch if you can wait, as there are a lot of chance those Macs will be on sale, even though it is not such a good price, but overall you will spend less money.
So overall it depends on if you have some emergency task to start work on right away (can you still wait for a while), how will you use it, they are both good machines.
Good luck and enjoy your life~
please some one answer to me... m1 max 30 cores 16" or m2 max 14"? thanks!
For the vast majority of users - it comes down to size. The performance difference is less likely to make a huge difference (again, for most users).
@TechGearTalk I'm a videographer, I have at the moment the m1 pro 16gb and it's really short I'm between the 16 m1 max or the 14 m2 max.... that's my doubt
Bruv where are the wallpapers from ?
Which one you buy?
M1 Pro 16” 1tb or m2 pro 512gb?
It depends on whether you need more storage or more processing power. Personally I always have to use external storage - but most people don’t. I don’t know what you’ll be using it for so it’s hard to give more specific advice. Hope that helps.
@@TechGearTalk I’m photographer and starting on video shooting and editing. I said the storage of the to macs because I saw, more storage more faster. But I don’t know that.
I have m2 13” and I going to sell it.
The 16” M1 Pro and 14” m2 pro is only $300 usd difference. M1 Pro cheaper.
I want the most faster or powerful machine.
In some videos M1 Pro is better than m2 pro on some performances and vice versa.
Some of the information he provides is incorrect, almost like he is reading a script ready from someone.
For example, the battery life is worse especially when pushing the machine, battery will drain faster compared to m1.
Is that Ventura vs. Ventura? I’ve noticed Ventura is a particularly shit version so far
16GB M2 pro with 1TB 14" is perfect
That’s a great setup.

WE WERE ON A BREAK!!! 🤣😂 Thanks for watching.
M2 is actually M1.5 so buy the M1 pro instead
More like M1.2, but you are right :D
I dont get the M2 Pro/Max hype. The base M2 is pretty good for content creators on a budget, but thats also just the media engine added only the M1 Pro/Max had before.
M1 Pro/Max are just incredible value now considering you get 1TB SSD and partially 32GB or even M1 Max „affordable“.
I would prefer a 32GB/1TB M1 Max always over a 16/512 M2 Pro base model!
Before I buy ANY Apple product, I watch Sagi to see what he says first 😉
I appreciate the kind words, Barron 🙏🏻
Your review came at the perfect time for me. I’m currently using an iPad Pro 12.9” with 4 gb RAM for photo editing. It isn’t working for me anymore now that my camera is 33 megapixels. I’ve begun to think I might need a MacBook with more power. I know nothing about apple laptops, I assume they work similarly to iPad but with more photo managing capabilities? Do you agree that the 14” that you reviewed here would be more than adequate for me now. Than my current 2018 iPad Pro? I don’t do video editing at all. Just photos.
And can you work from/edit on an external hard drive?

Has anyone ever run a small desk fan blowing across the laptops to cool? Seems like a simple solution to cool them...Never saw a video on that solution....
and/or elevating the laptop a little. I put mine on 4 plastic bottle caps to get air flowing underneath, too.
I got a MBP 15" mid-2015, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, dual GPU. Should I get the M1 or M2 MBP 16" with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD?
It depends on your situation. If you do heavy workloads, then yes, do the 16 inch MacBook Pro with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD.
How does the 14'' compare to the original 2020 M1 Air ?
Bigger and heavier
more performance (M1 as well M2 Pro)
better screen (noticable!)
worse battery runtime
I would just go for a 16“, if you have ever used a compact 15,4“ notebook, the 16“ M1/M2 Pro is basically smaller and lighter, best form factor without compromising too much on screen size and even the thermals are better than on 14“ models
I hope the bezels go slimmer for the M3 pro but I somehow doubt it. Probably M5 pro at the earliest will they think about making the bezels very slim
14" model + 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD= base model price of 16". So I'd rather choose the former one.
Wow...didn't realize that. But me, I would never pay apple that much money for increase in SSD size....highway robbery. If I was content creator/editor I would get base model with higher ram and external SSD and just live with it.
Base model for 16” is 512GB not 1TB ssd
thank you !
i have the Asus vivobook 14 Oled intel edition. should i keep it or should i get a M1 macbook air as student ?
Run what you have until it annoys you or falls apart. Then get the absolute best you can afford, and run it until it also annoys you or falls apart. Give or take it being a target of theft, I would concentrate on screen and keyboard and touchpad quality over CPU. After 12 hours of staring at a screen, a bigger better one will prevent a lot of headaches, and that is worth more than CPU speed. For real speed applications, you'll be logging into a mainframe or cluster, anyway.
Ultimately price decided my fate. I bought the 14” as I scored an open box example for $1,275!
Great deal! Do you love it?!
@@TechGearTalk For my needs it’s perfect, and coming from a late 2013 MacBook Pro 13”…I definitely love the upgrade. Thanks for all of your concise, and informative videos - they definitely helped 👍🏼
Thank you for the kind words - congrats on the great MacBook Pro!
Please made a review video on Canon R50
Can someone please tell me, is the 14 m2 pro much better than 16 m1 pro ?
Only at very very specific things.
Please do review for the new 15 inche M2 air.
Waiting for your review 😄
Coming soon!
The keyboard(s)/typing experience is the exact same thing as on the Magic Keyboard for the 12.9” iPad Pro, minus the function keys, right?
It’s noticeably better than the iPad Magic Keyboard (which might still be my favorite keyboard case)
@@TechGearTalk I got the Brydge Max+ for my 12.9” iPad Pro today and I really like it.
Cheeky DannyRic clip there. Love it 😁
Do you make all of your own wall papers?
Thanks, I was debating on either the 15” or the 16” Laptop and I will be getting 96GB unified memory, and 2TB storage and 38 core GPU
why would you need it
@@Optimistas777 I decided not to get it, but instead bought the 12.9” ipad with a tier of storage cause I then get 16 gigs of unified memory and also bought the Magic Keyboard and a trackpad.
I also ordered a HP 15.6” with 1 tier of storage and 32 gigs of memory and it is the two in one, it can be a laptop or tablet and comes with a pen and Window 11, this will work much better and on sale at Costco for just under a $1,000
About 1/5 the price of a apple laptop. Also will be buying a DJI pro 4 drone and plan on starting up a RUclips channel, I go to different places almost every weekend and plan to fly it and film the area. The iPad now has Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro available , I guess I will see how it goes.
How about first time buyer? Which better? Worth the money?
go for MacBook Air m2 which is worth the money
@@skillsthrillschills803 not really, only:
- M1 Air base model, probably a refurbised one with 16GB Ram
- M1 Pro 16“ or 14“ if thats really enough display for you
- M2 Pro Mac Mini, base model only sadly, if you just need „cheap“ performance and have a desktop setup already and dont need mobility at all
Just the 16“ Mini LED screen, noticable better speakers and the 100Wh battery is amazing, in combination with M1/M2 Pro its one of a kind (performance and battery runtime).
My 16“ M1 Pro replaced ALL of my computers except the gaming rig. Just a single USB-C connector and i can either connect and use the MacBook Pro or iPad Air as desktop PC and they are also pretty perfect standalone solutions (iPad is perfect in 11“ and MacBook Pro for more serious stuff better fitted in 16“)
@@skillsthrillschills803 I would even see the M2 MacBook Air as one of the worst values:
8/256 are somewhat „affordable“, but too limiting and upgrading to 16/512 is expensive
Only 2 USB-C Ports, thats BAD for a 1400$+ notebook
battery runtime. The M2 Air is not that amazing under permanent load, the M1 Air is!
Screen in general all non HDR/Mini LED screens… once you got used to a perfect contrast and the glorious 14/16“ screen, there is no way back. Probably you even begin to love the 120Hz refresh rate!
Can you do a giveaway?? I really need a laptop and I’m literally broke
STOP WASTING MONEY!
Don't buy Apple machines
That's remarkable. BUY NICE or BUY TWICE
where can i get those wallpapers?
