    I have the option of getting a 14" , 1TB, 10CPU, 16GPU, 32 unified, 16 neural engine (10/16/32/16) new in box and sealed, or a base 16", 512GB, 10/16/16/16 from the actual Apple store for roughly the same price.
    I am a bit confused about the throttle, thermos, and battery life implications. I want good battery, and I do love a smoother photo/video editing workflow, but I am not a professional (i.e., it's not my main income).
    I am not sure if I go with the 14" from a private seller, or the Apple store. What would you do?

    With the transition to Apple Silicon, Apple is killing it in the laptop space. The M1 MBA released back in Nov 2020 is still far better than any other windows thin and light laptop. With these machines, they have given power users everything they need. For a work laptop, unless someone has an application that will not run on Apple Silicon, it is hard to recommend anything else right now. I really hope the PC market steps up their game this year.

    Fully agreed - either get the 14" with M1 Pro, or the 16" with M1 Pro/Max (24c). Everything else is just a pain for your thermals and battery. I will go for the combo 16" with Pro, since I don't need more than 5.2TFLOPs of GPU performance and I get amazing battery life and no fan noise in return!

The Asus ROG Flow x13 does, the Asus Zephyrus G14 does, the Blade 14 does, and knowing Dell/Alienware, the Alienware x14 probably does as well; even if the Alienware doesn't, the performance (especially in the GPU department) isn't the same level as the other Windows laptops.

      @random viewer Says apple sheep then mentions alienware lmao. To be honest, people can buy what they want, something those opposed to apple can't quite seem to grasp. The base 14 (or the m1Air) is ample for the VAST majority of people for daily use and, here's the kicker... NOT EVERYONE IS A GAMER. It's quick, long battery life, decent webcam/mics for video calling, the screens are gorgeous for watching/consuming (as are the xps screens) and it's still around that $2000 mark which is slowly becoming the standard price for premium "things". Want to game, get a gaming laptop... nobody is stopping you from doing so. The average person spending $5000 on a laptop is pointless, nobody is denying that. And who really games THAT much when out and about? Want to game, build a PC.

    Outstanding content as usual. Your experience just reinforces that there is no best machine for everything and that it really depends on your use case. As for expecting PC companies to step up, I'll believe it when I see it. The things that PC manufacturers can easily control such as better webcams and speakers they don't bother with upgrading. They can't do much with the hot processors from Intel/AMD. It will be a couple of generations, at best, before they can compete with Apple by providing a chip that's high performing, low power and generates low heat.

      However if you want the best battery life then go for the 13 inch pros, m1 or m2 are fine, I use a 13 inch before and that machine lasted for days, but I switched to a 14 inch base since the 13 inch can't handle my workload that has quite a lot of phone emulators around, also light gaming is better on the 14 too

    My mom is proud of you too! 😆☕😎 ...but seriously, after using Windows PC laptops for 30+ years, I switched to Mac, and I'm not looking back. I have the MacBook Pro 16, and it is easily the best laptop I have ever owned! I was initially worried about switching operating systems, but I was pleasantly surprised that I adapted much more quickly than I anticipated. In less than a week I was comfortable, and within a couple of weeks, it was like I had always been using Mac OS.
    I did buy a Dell XPS 17 at the same time, and used them both side-by-side for a couple of weeks, to test them out. I love the XPS 17 screen and design! ....but there's just no comparison. The MacBook out-preformed in every way. The battery life 🔋alone was the biggest selling point. The MacBook lasted up to 3x as long. And runs at "full power" on battery. It renders/exports my video editing projects in half the time. The XPS keyboard is good, but I swear I type twice as fast on the MacBook - LOL 😉
    ....The speakers are just amazing, as well as the track pad, studio-quality mics, and HD web cam. Now, I know this is crazy, but I use the LAP-top actually ON my lap most of the time! ....No heat, no fan noise (The XPS sounded like a jet airplane when exporting video.) ....As far as the "notch", I installed a gorgeous purple-dark high-res galaxy background, and I never notice it.
    Not to mention the all-around quality! ....and something no one seems to mention is the new M1 MacBooks are actually "designed" to be "LAP-tops" .....There's no grill on the bottom folks! (Which I was always worried about blocking, as I use my laptops on my lap, and often just sitting on my bed!) ...Instead there are air intake slots on the outer edges, and at the screen (just genius). (I returned the XPS 17 to Dell - I really DID want to love it!)
    Now I can sit on my patio, laptop on my lap, with a cup of coffee ☕ and work ALL day (unplugged)... 💜 😎 🎉
    Gaming is one thing, but for creatives / business users like me, until Windows PC laptops address the heat and fan-noise issues, battery life, design and quality, it's hard to recommend anything but a MacBook.....
    But what about the "Apple Tax"? ....Hate to burst your bubble, but the Dell XPS configured to try to compete was over $500 MORE than the MacBook! .....A Razer Blade would have been even more than that!
    Thanks for the great video, as always Josh! 👍🏼😎

      Nothing, he has said in a previous video he personally doesn't like the way macOS works with mouse acceleration or the dock behaviour. I don't have any issue with it - tbh Apple Silicon devices are the only laptops I used that don't get hot with a 4K monitor attached - Intel Windows AND Intel Mac laptops don't handle the graphic load as efficiently.

    Hi, and I’ve just inherited a 27” 2013 iMac, 3.2 Ghz, 16/1TB (Mojave) and it works perfect . - . My normal daily workhorse is a 13” 2015 Retina MacBook Pro, 2.9 Ghz, 16/256 (Big Sur) - and it works perfect, too. The questions: which of these machines should I use as my daily desktop driver? And is it worth keeping them both?

    I struggled with this: 14 or 16 inch? I went with the 16 inch and LOVE it. ( M1 Max 32 core 64 ram 2 terabyte storage) Ouch!... retailed at $4300 BUT, found a refurbished at the Apple refurbished site which knocked off 10% plus another 3% discount cash back on my Apple credit card helped relieve some of that financial pain! The tough decision I had was the size, however even though I travel a bit, the 16 inch is heavier, but other other factors completely override that. I have also noticed more and more bigger size machines in public areas: perhaps our tech culture is going through a "seismic paradigm shift for the bigger screen is better perspective. Side note: Just Josh, your speaking style is excellent: no filler of BS fluff, just the facts and delivered fast: that is so refreshing!

    6:38 - "it would be nice to have that slimmer lighter form factor" - personally to me - no, it wouldn't, this 5-year race for thinnest possible laptops caused so many troubles with performance... To my experience, sometimes it went to the point when I literally could not even share the screen during my meetings due to CPU throttle to 0.8 GHz, and that was on MBP 16 i9 (2019)... Insane! Thank god Apple ditched this "thin form factor" bullshit.

    Hey Josh, I plan on ordering a 14 inch M1 pro this week. I wanted to get the max power, cores, ram, best chip, etc. but I prioritize battery life above almost all else. I won’t be doing video editing, just everyday tasks, school, typing, and maybe some gaming if it can handle it. Should I get the very base chip? Will any upgrades reduce the battery life significantly or can I upgrade the chip but not all the way to the most powerful? Would love your advice/thoughts (or anyone else with more knowledge on computers).
    Thanks so much!

Switching to power saving mode I can work for 10 hours a day doing light work (emails/web/ my windows VM) and have around 20-25% battery remaining.
      I've never heard the fans, even though I did notice them kicking in in some situations, but the never went past 4000rpm at which speed they are mostly silent.

      with Metro Exodus I can play high settings on an ultrawide monitor with 3400x1400 resolution 60 plus frames per second. With No Man's Sky which recently came out for Macs, I get high settings on the same ultrawide monitor with 3400x1400, frame rates into the 70-80's. The fan doesn't even come on or at least I don't hear it. Also incredibly easy to use a PS4 controller with rumble feature through bluetooth.
      Pleasantly surprised that my laptop for doing work can also play graphically intensive games at decent settings without any issue. I've tried other games like Dying Light and Shadow of the Tomb Raider and they also play at 3400x1400 on high settings. Amazing stuff for such a small form factor.
