- My M1 Max MacBook Pro 16” review & recap after 2 years, did it age too well?
Now that I’ve used the M1 Max MacBook Pro nearly every day for over 2 years, I do have some thoughts to share, how it's aged and how it compares to the current generation MacBook Pros and whether you should still get one more than 2 years after its initial release.

Same for my M1 Pro. Incredible hardware.
I don't know how anyone could return to Windows laptops in their current state after trying out ARM-based Macbooks.
Don't think anyone in their right mind would!
hardware is great, software compatibility is disproportionately crap. I'll be using my M3pro for media consumption and emails...
I love your video editing skills and find your voice very soothing. Keep up the good work 🚀
Thank you so much!
Holy your production quality is absolutely amazing! I just saw that you only have 162 subs! well now 163 looking forward to more tech videos
Wow, thank you! That really means a lot!
Hello, since it works with video editing, I would like your opinion on m1 max. I want it to edit music videos with a lot of EFX in 6k 422 10bit or I don't know if I should go for window with an i9 13900k rtx 4070 super
Insane videoquality! Liked it
Does the Mac has use marks from the dock stand?
Thanks, mate!
There’s a thin, cushiony, felt covering on the inside of the dock to make sure that doesn’t happen!
I gotta be honest. I am a gamer at heart and I made the switch because, I wanted to just use my laptop as something other than a gaming device away from my desk. My gaming laptop was amazing and had all the power to play any game I wanted. I am getting older and realzied that I needed a chancge. The Macbook Pro M1 Max with 32gb of ram was my choice. I have now gotten into editing my gaming clips on my free time and even posted a few on social mdeia as my hobby. I love my 14' macbook rpo and I will be using this for years to come. Thank you for an amzing video and keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching and sharing your experiences!
@@alexgreyy Of course!
apple should hire you for their next product introduction narration videos. Jony Ive 2.0
That's a really big compliment, that is :) Thanks so much!
Great video, the M1 isn’t the only one exceeding on quality in this video😉
Thanks for the support, mate!
It's still a fantastic machine. I've never got it to really break a sweat and I'm sure it will still serve me well in 5 years time for photo and video editing.
I bit the bullet and got a Studio Display along - what an amazing display. Only one cable for signal, power, USB makes a very clean desk and gives 5 free ports in total.
Sounds marvellous to me!
Good quality video. Just interacting to feed the algorithm.
Cheers, mate. Thanks for watching!
How much RAM does your MBP have? I have an M1 Max with 32 GB and occasionally do notice stuttering in FCP or need to sometimes close apps like Photoshop or Lightroom while editing video.
My MacBook does have 32GB as well. But I have to admit, that I’ve never noticed any micro stutters. Then again I seldom use any other application at the same time apart from my internet browser.
Hope that clears some things up!
Hi, I also want to buy 16 inch m1 pro, but not sure which one to pick..
The m1 pro or m1 max, I don't do extreme tasks and stuff But I still Want A powerful machine because I think It will last a long time
so My question is ..
How many hours do you get by using the m1 max by normal web browsing and having a lot of tabs open? and do you think m1 pro will have longer battery life?
and if I have the more powerful m1 max will It last longer?
and is the battery life better or worse because its powerful?
thank you
I unfortunately have not used the "normal" M1 Pro chip, so I can't speak from personal experience. I have watched a lot of reviews over the years, though, so that is what I'm basing my answer on. If the only thing you really do is "web browsing" either of these chips are an utter waste of money. If you do the occasional edit (photo or video) and you'd want for it to be responsive, should you ever want to, I'd completely get that. Nonetheless, a MB Air model (no matter which one) might actually serve you best (unless you're a sucker for the 120hz displays, which, again, I'd completely understand). If you don't require your MB to do powerful tasks at all, but you still want a MB Pro, get the Pro chip. The Max would be a complete waste of money, even to this day.
The battery life is bonkers. I can't give you exact numbers, because, as I said, this is my work horse and I never go a day without doing at least some work on it, which might impact the number you're looking for. It'd easily be a full day doing only mundane tasks, though.
@@alexgreyy I understand but Im not sure if the Macbook Air will last that much with me, since I am going to use it very very roughly as day passes and by web browsing I meant having like at least 20-25 tabs open and each of them maybe using like 200 Mb-1 Gb memory usage and also downloading hundreds of files, plus I don't want to change my laptop every year so that is why I was thinking if I the pro version is better, I also considered the Macbook pro 16 because its display is bigger and more thinner and 120 hz is not so important but it's a nice to have, so is the MB air still more suitable for me and can withstand the work I will put and have a long life?
I have the same configuration. It’s a joy working in illustrator, photoshop and even after effects.
One problem that keeps occurring though is when I attach a projector of an external display (not the apple ones) directly in the hdmi port. If I play fullscreen video the m1 crashes after 10 to 15 minutes.
Seems a pretty common problem. Apple can’t seem to care to fix it.
This means that I do my video for professional presentations with my iPhone!
Pretty sad for such an expensive machine..
It really is great!
I have to admit I never heard of that issue, then again, like I said, I never really used the HDMI port because of its 60hz cap.
It really should be fixed, though!
how is your keyboard not shiny. i've been using my m3 pro for a month now and some keys are already showing shine.
I regularly clean it with a product called “iKlear”. It’s predominantly designed for screens but I discovered that it also removes grease which ultimately leads to shine from the keyboard and trackpad quite well!
@@alexgreyy looks like it's not available from where im from. thanks though. ill try looking something similar to it. 👍
@@ojan0896 Thank you for watching!
Doing a cleaning once a week will keep your keyboard away from shine.
How about m1 MacBook Air?
Never used one unfortunately, so I really can’t say much about it.
Bro how many cycles do you have on your macbook ? it looks like you NEVER use it unplugged haha. My 16 m1 Pro has 83% of battery health after 2 years
I use it unplugged roughly 30% of the time, at least 2 days a week and it’s been class!
Well edited. But mouth slightly away from mic.
And i agree, i bought mine last year after the M2 came out and i've barely scratched the surface in terms of fully utilising its power.
Its also stopped me justifying getting an iPad
But not having to hear fans again has single handedly made it worth it.
I'll probably only upgrade if there is a redesign with face ID, or i stop getting macOS updates
Totally agree!
If your are buying a max chip, I would to think you bought it with the intention of it being relevent after 2 years. Most people will be keeping their machine between 4 years minimum. I would go for the latest model unless someone is giving a deep discount on a used one.
I'm afraid I really don't agree. I know many people (many of them professionals) who upgrade(d) every 2 years or so because it used to make sense from a performance perspective and because their clients became more and more demanding (4K videos and files becoming much more widely accepted as the consumer standard compared to a few years ago for instance being one of the most notable reasons for that). Since the M1s however, the consumer tech landscape changed quite a bit and even though 8K cameras exist, they are not the standard and are hardly worth it for the average consumer or hobby creator. That being said, many clients nowadays want their footage in 8K because it gives them options. You won't find many who want more than that, though, which make the M1 chips still a viable option today when it comes to this use case (which ties a bit more into my area of expertise).
4 years from now, my M1 Max MacBook will still be handling the same tasks I throw at it now just as well, as long as I don't push it any further, which, I at least, don't need. My work doesn't even push the M1 Max to its limits 95% of the time, as I am fine with sticking to 4K editing for the most part and will be for the foreseeable future.
And I firmly believe that that is the case for a very large amount of people.
Especially if you consider the steep price difference between the M1 Max MB Pro and the latest M3 Max MB Pro, I really think it is a very compelling option going for the former, be that as a refurbished model or even on the second hand market!
football manager……truely helpful information.
A recommendation: Move the microphone away from your mouth a wee bit mate! Audio would sound a whole lot better and neater this way. Otherwise, great content. Cheers!
Ok, thanks mate! Always happy to get feedback! :)
