An easy way to see performance cores of a specific model on the Apple site is to find that model on the refurbished browser. It'll show you the performance and efficiency core count in the model stats if you scroll down.
Thanks for the tip!
Just the info I needed!
I bought the M2 max 96gb ram after watching your videos last years and it's doing really well. Though sometimes logic still gets overload when there's too much going on (I used a lot of plugins and serums tracks and I rarely bounce them into audio tracks)
Sounds good, the M2 Max is a solid choice.
I have the 16inch M2 Max 64gb and some pads in diva is killing it even with multicore option on.
Thanks you. ❤ Great Video. 🙌

Have you done any testing around the 14inch M3max configuration? I'm worried the 14inch will have more fan noise than the 16 and I'm worried it could be a problem when recording. Do you have any insight or experience with this?
I have not tested the 14 inch. You have to really load the system to get the fan noise heard.
Hi, i remember commenting saying how i was looking at getting a desktop with the i9 14900k processor and you saying good chip and then heard you say in the video if we buy Intel expect it to go hot. I also heard you say the sweet spot seemed to be 40 core, 48GB, 1TB, my question is, which is the better laptop, for Ableton, M3 Max with the specs above or M1 Max, 64GB, 1TB?
There will never be one, single correct answer to this question. (As i say in my videos). It all depends on your workflow, instruments, plugins etc you use.
Be cautious about top Intel CPUs right now. They are having huge reliability issues. Go with AMD
What's the best thing to get for voice recording and processing? Absolutely silent (good for recording) Air on M3 chip or more productive (enough for DAW and plug-ins) Pro on M3 Pro chip?
I'm going to use an external audio interface, external monitor, so the number of connectors in the Air is frustrating, but for sound recording the complete silence is very appealing. And it seems that the performance may be enough too.
The MacBook Air is completely silent, no fan in it. It would work very well for voice recording although with less ports so you would have to get some dongles/adapters to get more ports. If you go for one of the MacBook Pros, it has a fan. However your use seems to be "light" so you probably would not hear the fan at all.
@@bjornark Thanks! The MacBook Air is also interesting to me because it has significantly lower power consumption. I live in Ukraine, where there is often no electricity. I use a charging station, but its capacity is small.
Doubts in Air arise only about the possibility of long work (5-6 hours) and I want to have a small power reserve for simple video editing, perhaps a little After Effects.
Both the M3 Air and Pro have pretty good battery life. Macbook pro up to 22 hours, Macbook air up to 18 hours. Depending on type of work of course. These M CPUs are very efficient. Hope it helps, and stay safe!
@@bjornark Thank you for your advice.
How good is this for music production in ableton?
14 inch Mac book pro
Apple M3 chip with 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine
16GB unified memory
512GB SSD storage
14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display²
70W USB-C Power Adapter
Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports, HDMI port, SDXC card slot, headphone jack, MagSafe 3 port
Backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID - US English
That M3 has 4 performance cores. I would go for the M3 Pro at least if I go for MacBook Pro. If not you could go for MacBook Air for example. It has the same CPU.
@@bjornarkwhat about the MacBook Pro with M1pro chip?
Here’s all the details for the specific I’m looking at
I’m thinking and leaning towards a Mac book pro with M1 Pro chip 10 core 1TB 32GBRAM A REFURBISHED VERSION you think this is future prooof?
My main use would be to run it with ableton
Should i get the new m3 base with 16g/1T (1789$) or new m2 pro 16g/1T (1869$). They are all brand new, not refurb.
Advantage to pre install Logic Pro? Was thinking to possibly purchase later
Not sure, is the price lower if you buy it with the machine? If not I would just buy it on Apple store with my apple ID.
Do you think mac mini M2 16 gig can do the job heavy projets
Depends on many things.
for me MacBook Air M2 is enough.
Its a competent machine for what it is.
