    "M4 Pros is for new pros" That's the best way Ive heard it described as a videographer with 10+ years running my own business. My projects have scaled to the point where I need the Max chip to chew through the caliber of work I put out. When I was just getting started I could have 100% just used the Pro chip as I learned my style, scaled up my productions and introduced multiple cameras to my larger productions. I always tell everyone that the M4 Pro is an excellent video editing and productivity chip until you're running more than 2-3 tracks of 4k footage with transitions and sound design. Anyone who says otherwise does not push their laptops as hard as they claim.

      I look at the base M4 for ultrabook users that want a few extras over the Air. The M4 Pro I see for semi-pros that do not need the full monty. The M4 Max should be the default for professionals, as it has the higher RAM options and gives the best performance.

    First time Mac user, I got the mid-base M4 MacBook Pro (16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Space Black). So far this has been a game changer in terms of both processing power and usage, and this is the best laptop I have ever used. Going for the base rather than the Pro means that I have enough processing power for my mid-light use cases along with the best battery life of the M4 lineup in the 14 inch. This is a laptop that truly is portable. The build quality on this thing is on a whole other level. There is nothing like it. And the integration with iPhone and Watch has been game changing for me as well, giving me the ability to do all of my communication without caring which device I use for it, even for text and calls.

      downside of buying base model pro is that next spring air will get m4 and your mac will become pumpkin but this is part of marketing strategy.

      That is indeed the sensible option for the majority of users that will never need the power of the Pro or Max. I had the same base M1 version and 3.5 years later it still beats many contemporary Windows machines and has aged well. That will serve you for as long as you need it.

    Hey music makers those who use Logic and Ableton. Do you giys use the base M4Pro or do you need more specs like 48gb RAM??
    I figure if its available a refurbished M3 Pro 36 RAM and 4TB storage option should be enough.

    • @mar7838
      @mar7838 23 часа назад

      Not sure about the RAM but I think 4tb is overkill. I'd go for 1 maybe 2tb max. And then just buy an external SSD to save the projects on.
      The jump from M3 to M4 is substantial. So better go for M4 and save on storage. Unless you get an insane deal on the M3. Especially considering that Ableton and Logic cannot use the efficiency cores currently.

    • @themuffinunicorn
      @themuffinunicorn 8 часов назад +1

      For music production in Logic, M4 Pro is far superior to M3 Pro due to the increase in performance cores. The DAW can't use efficiency cores, so you're looking at 5 or 6 functional cores with M3 Pro vs 8 or 10 functional cores on M4 Pro. It's essentially 2x more efficient! While I don't produce music professionally, I do work in Logic from time to time and got an M4 Pro chip for it. If you're looking to upgrade from the base M4 Pro, I'd recommend first getting the 14-core version for those 2 extra performance cores. Upgrade the storage to 1 or 2 TB if you're set on keeping all of your projects on the machine, but more than that is excessive and not economical when you can just put completed tracks on external storage. If you think you're going to be working with projects that use a shit ton of tracks, get the 48GB of ram, but if you're just mixing standard tracks it shouldn't be necessary. I run a VM for my job and the 48GB is needed for that, but if I was just speccing for music production I'd say 24 is plenty. Hope that helps!

    My biggest question is how I can buy the new MB Pro with a RU keyboard and give Apple my old Air. I assume that I have to order this pro machine on the website, and then… then I don’t know what 😅 I mean you have to pay if you are ordering an unusual keyboard (I’m in Spain so it’s unusual here) but I have to give them my old machine for cutting the price…. I’m confused

    MBA is just for those looking for a cheap entry point. But it’s got too many compromises. A Mac with less than 16GB is just a waste of time, the OS just struggles. 24GB is now the real starting point, which still means you need to drop more cash on upgrades.
    MBP 32GB with 512 is a sweet spot.
    Gaming on Mac is just a none starter.

    • @andyH_England
      @andyH_England 8 часов назад

      All Macbooks start at 16GB now which is more than enough for the majority. For my usage 8GB has been enough for the last four years on my MB Pro 13 M1. Even on my work machine, the 16GB M1 Pro I rarely use more than 9GB of RAM with no swap. Mind you my workload is office based rather than creator focused, but then again, creators are just one demographic.
      32GB would be wasted on me, most would be used as cache. But I can understand Pro users who would buy the M4 Pro or Max need more, but not the base model.
      Gaming is no longer viable due to Microsoft closing Bootcamp and Windows on ARM also having issues with gaming compatibility.

      @ Microsoft didn’t close bootcamp, that’s Apple. Just like Apple doesn’t allow any 3rd party VM software on the platform.
      9 GB the OS isn’t even started. I can climb a mountain with just a tooth pick! It’s what’s you’re used to. It’s not efficient however, nor is it fun. Two completely different things. 16GB is the absolute bare minimum if you want to limp forward. 24GB is needed, esp if you want the AI crap Apple is now pushing.

      @@nothingtosee7718 Apple had bootcamp when it was Intel--you can still use it. But the huge leap Apple made with the M Chips meant MS was scared that people would buy Macs and run Windows on it. You can see that on the X Elite, MS has bootlocked these chips to prevent people buying them and dumping Windows for Linux. You seem very anti-Apple despite the facts.
      It is clear that for 3.5 years M-Macs have dominated in performance per watt and efficiency, even now the M4 shines above the Intel and AMD rivals, with the X Elite nowhere.

    im sorry dawg but the 14 inch is literally half a pound more than the OG 2020 M1 MacBook Pro (mine), im gonna {eventually} upgrade to a 16 inch M4 Pro or M6 Pro chipset and the 16 INCH is about 3x weight difference... 1.5 (rounded down from 1.7) pounds from half a pound.
    I'll totally take an extra 2 pounds (rounded up) (2020)-3 lbs, (2024) 16 inch-4.7 lbs for BETTER DISPLAY, SPEAKERS, MICS, VIDEO, CHIPS ETC. long story short, its actually not that heavy... and I take my laptop everywhere... if an extra 5 lbs is too tough to rock daily maybe get your money up not your funny up...
