Thanks for making this review. This was legitimate one of my favorite true reviews. Did a review without a beefed up MacBook making it more realistic to us consumers. Hard to trust reviews when people are pushing the top of the product vs the entry level base model.
I watched this vid a few months ago ,& then I picked up in July 2023 a brand new M1 14" base model at a crazy low price too & boy does it deliver.. Nice one Lee
Thanks man. Just ordered mine: A 14" macbook pro m1 pro base model. I'm switching from PC. Have been a PC user for the past 15 years. Can't wait to learn all the Mac OS features.
I’ve had a 12” G4 PowerBook and now use a 15” mid 2012 MacBook. The screen size is great on the 15” for every day single screen use, 12” was too small. This 14” looks a good balance between size and portability, especially with the higher resolution than the 15”.
@@LeeZavitz The bonkers battery claims are no joke. I did pretty light work yesterday for about 4h (Pages, 5-6 Safari tabs, Twitter and Music in the background) and the battery went down only 11 percent! 🤯
Hell yea! Thx for the info bro! I feel like I made the right choice. I’m coming from an older 2018 MacBook Pro and I figured these badboys are already pricy so Minus we’ll go big for future growth. Thx for the great reviews keep them up.
Thanks for the info, man! Do you think M1 Air with 16GB RAM would still be worth it for editing 4K 10-bit RUclips, wedding videos? Or should I just jump to the base 14”?
@@LeeZavitz I say your video on iMac mini 16gb m1, and saw 4k 10bit on davinchi struggled to play smoothly, so I wonder if I use 1080 resolution videos in 10 bit is this good combo with davinchi? or is Final Cut Pro better choice?
Hey Lee. New to the channel. But your initial review in the 14” Pro was a game changer. No filler just to the point. If 16 gb of RAM is enough for photo editing in Lightroom. What would be a better use case for getting a 32 gb computer.
It definitely is enough for photos. The only reason you’d want a 32GB RAM model is if you are merging a lot of 40 megapixel+ panoramic shots or if you are working on video.
If ever I'm doing photo stacking with say 50 RAW images and I send them as layers to Photoshop to then process, I quickly go over 16GB - easily in the low 20GBs. Even still with the speed of the SSDs on these things it shouldn't be an issue as once Ps loads I can just close down Lr. 32 is a must if you're video editing though.
Will this base model last at least 5-6 years? Want to buy it, but it’s pricey, so I want to make sure it’ll still perform alright in 5 years time. I don’t edit 8k or anything, max I’d do is 4K. I also know, nobody knows what the future holds, just wondering your opinion on lifespan, in terms of performance for this base model?
@@Mr.MikeTaylor I have the same questions, but more if this will give me an extra 2 years of usability over the Air. I plan on using either laptop at LEAST 7 years.
Just a warning. I purchased a 14" Macbook Pro M1 Pro and absolutely loved it. But I returned it 10 days after purchase. The reason? Well it really isn't the machine's fault, but the reason was lack of drivers for peripherals. I have a perfectly good Canon MG6120 printer. It works great, but there are no drivers for the latest Mac OS. You say, well John you could run an earlier version of Mac OS or you could go shell out just a couple of hundred $$ more for a new printer. I already shelled out $$ for a docking station to have all of the ports I need,. But that is the point! Why should I buy the latest and greatest and still have to spend more money for other new equipment or settle for an OS that was not optimized for this beast of a machine.
Haha appreciate it. I couldn’t ever justify the price. I already have a very powerful system that does more than the 16” MacBook Pro can do so I really only need a basemodel for RUclips stuff and my main system for bigger client jobs
Hi! I am a graphic and web designer, and soon I am going to train in UX/UI. I have a MacBook Pro 13” from 2016 that I am looking forward to upgrading because it is too slow, noisy and gets very hot. A few months ago I was able to test the 14” and 16” M1 Pro for a few days, both with 10c/16c/16Gb/1Tb, and the truth is that they worked really well. What I am going to use the most is going to be the Adobe design suite, Figma, specifically Premiere or FCPX for something normal (4K with 1 or 2 layers, some color correction and some transition), some RAW photo development of a 26mpx APS-C in Capture One and video calls with Zoom. Do you think that with these models I have equipment for 3/4 years? It's that on Amazon they are usually discounted, and I have even seen the 14” 8c/14c/16Gb/512Gb for €1,995 currently, but I don't know if it will fall short of power. The idea is not to think too much in the future and use it rather 3/4 years, since I think that Apple's processors by then will have improved a lot. Let's see if you can give me your opinion, based on your experience, to go for the base 14” or jump to the 16” with which I would gain screen and battery, although I will do the big jobs with a 4K monitor. Thank you and sorry for the long message!
After a whole year of macbook 8gb air, being all anyone needs for 4k 6k 8k, and everything else. I would think anything better is more then anyone needs.
Depends on what you’re editing. Try a couple streams of 4K and a handful of motionvfx plugin effects and the M1 grinds to a halt, even using proxies. Anything with various effects and transitions really stressed the M1 in my experience.
Sure. Just get what you can afford. I mostly work off external ssd so I didn’t care about storage size. But if you work from the internal drive go bigger
No Im still rocking it. It’s what I use for all my RUclips stuff. That said it’s alittle underpowered for some of my larger video jobs I edit for clients ( shooting on RED) but I have my main beefy computer still for that stuff
I upgraded from a 2012 retina 15” to the 16” M1 Pro and I’m loving it. It’s a big upgrade for me. I’m very happy with the screen quality. I use Final Cut Pro for video editing 4K HDR Dolby Vision and I don’t hear any fans.
Lee, are those keycaps double shot or do they get shiny over time? My 2019 Macbook Pro had all shiny keys after only 6 months of use. Awesome content, keep it up. Love that old Japanese PS1 t-shirt, where did you get that bad boy?
Yes, it’s still my main laptop. I would recommend it. You can probably find them cheaper than it was new. The m2 MacBook Pro doesn’t give a huge advantage over this
I've got to a few hundred dollars difference in speccing out both models on Apple's site. I'm curious what the real world tests are between the highest end models of both?
Hey man! Great vid. How about a video comparing this 14 inch to your Mac mini M1. I bet this is a video a lot of people, including myself, would like to watch. Thank you!!
@@LeeZavitz keep in mind that ssd speeds dramatically increase as well when you go for more storage (e.g. swap memory performance).1-2TB would be the sweet spot probably
Utilize external drives or cloud storage. I edited wedding photos on a 64GB iPad for 2 years. I would should 30-40GB on what event. All you need is enough local storage to upload the photos and get them in the cloud. Lightroom cloud is also great because I can access and edit all of my photos from my phone, iPad, MacBook, or any computer that has internet access.
I think all the high speed data transfer between drives and card reader just dummied the battery. It must draw a lot of power and it’s not really an Optimization thing
Hey man! Thanks for the review. Wanted to ask if bumping up to the 1TB option would be good, or is 512 enough? I'm pretty new to video editing so I can't ballpark if I'll be using up a lot of memory with the 512
I’ve been rocking the 512gb every day for over a month. I have all the programs installed and it’s still at 380gb left. Depends on if you save a lot to your internal drive. I don’t, I work of external drives
@@Hacktivator Grab a Sandisk portable SSD. Great drives. Just make sure you backup any critical files of course..anything can fail. But they're fast and small to carry
@Lee Zavitz Do you run your monitor in native 4k resolution? And could you check how de m1 pro performs in 'looks like' 1440 scaling on an 4k monitor? I'm coming from an m1 air which is very sluggish when scaling on an 4k monitor. Especially when editing photos.
I got the 14 inch MacBook pro a few days ago and for the first time I can confidently edit in LR on a scaled 4k screen. Even brushes and spot removal work totally fluid. Needs tons of RAM though. I got 32GB and it still swaps a little bit.
I’m curious if your editing test on the 14” would’ve worked if you dropped the timing resolution to 1080? I know it’s 6k red raw but I’m trying to gauge how well this computer would run of using 4K and occasional 8k (from Sony A1) proxies.
If you drop it to 1080p it’s a little better but once you add 3 layers and colour and effects it starts to lag out. It does pretty well though considering what it is vs what you use to need to even run 6k raw video only 2 years ago
I have a very important question for you: I don't know if I should get the m1 max or the m1pro since I mainly edit 10bit 4 k Multicam with the Multicam Funktion in premiere pro. my old MacBook could handle Multicam only with proxies and I don't like the workflow with proxies. So my question is if the base model will be enough for these Multicam edits, as they are quite hard on systems. I don't know what to do :((
I don't own one of these (yet) but from seeing a million reviews I think it is safe to safe that the M1 Pro should be enough. The differences in Video editing, especially 4K were not that big. But you might to upgrade to 32GB of unified memory if that is possible for you. I also edit 10 bit 4k footage (Fujifilm FLOG)) and I'm getting the base 16" with 1TB which is going to be plenty.
Is this base model good enough to play Classic WoW or should I get more cpu/gpu/ram? I’m currently on a 2018 Lenovo device with 1050ti graphics card so I assume this must be better?
Hey man! Thanks, your videos are really good. I actually bought this MacBook right after watching your performance video. One question, how is editing a 4k timeline with NR on in davinci work for you?
If you start putting a lot of effects on it will start to lag out. I would recommend higher gpu cores if you are doing more advanced editing with NR and Effects
@@LeeZavitz what do you think about this scenario but if you use proxies? I use proxies in my 4K workflow always because I use lots of MotionVFX plugins. I tried the M1 Mac mini last year and it was subpar for those tools but many weren’t yet optimized. I’m trying to save some cash, so for me it’s down to the $2499 16” with 10/32 cores or the $3499 m1 max woth 10/32 cores. I won’t do a custom order so it’s a $1000 difference for more cores, more ram and more drive space. Just can’t tell if I “need” it 🤔
It seems a very valuable, you need to hold two MacBooks, one is for fun, like web browsing, chat and something like that, sure Air will be the right choice, and another one for video editing, and it is the Pro model.
In Premiere I’ve noticed I loose about 1 percent per minute. I’ve seen some reviews RAVING about the battery life on this Mac, it really isn’t that impressive. As you said, however, for web browsing it does last a while.
I don’t think this is the best choice compared to the 16 inch Pro model. Go look at the thermal videos. This one gets extremely hot while the 16 inch barely has one side of the fan even on.
It's amusing and gratifying, the lengths reviewers must go to bog down the base 14" M1 Pro. By the time they succeed, they're down to relevance for maybe 5% of their viewers. Who, as this reviewer notes, can simply spec up the 14" or just get the 16".
Either you’ve never used a MacBook Pro with a 720p web camera or you need your eyes checked because the new MacBook Pro’s 1080p web camera is much better than the old 720p so stop putting out misleading information because it tarnishes your entire videos credibility.

Hey man! Thanks, your videos are really good. I actually bought this MacBook right after watching your performance video. One question, how is editing a 4k timeline with NR on in davinci work for you?
If you start putting a lot of effects on it will start to lag out. I would recommend higher gpu cores if you are doing more advanced editing with NR and Effects
@@LeeZavitz what do you think about this scenario but if you use proxies? I use proxies in my 4K workflow always because I use lots of MotionVFX plugins. I tried the M1 Mac mini last year and it was subpar for those tools but many weren’t yet optimized. I’m trying to save some cash, so for me it’s down to the $2499 16” with 10/32 cores or the $3499 m1 max woth 10/32 cores. I won’t do a custom order so it’s a $1000 difference for more cores, more ram and more drive space. Just can’t tell if I “need” it 🤔
Does anyone know why I can't enable hardware acceleration?
It seems a very valuable, you need to hold two MacBooks, one is for fun, like web browsing, chat and something like that, sure Air will be the right choice, and another one for video editing, and it is the Pro model.
Nice review
Thanks for watching

In Premiere I’ve noticed I loose about 1 percent per minute. I’ve seen some reviews RAVING about the battery life on this Mac, it really isn’t that impressive. As you said, however, for web browsing it does last a while.
maxbook pro i see what you did there, cheeky m8
I don’t think this is the best choice compared to the 16 inch Pro model. Go look at the thermal videos. This one gets extremely hot while the 16 inch barely has one side of the fan even on.
It's amusing and gratifying, the lengths reviewers must go to bog down the base 14" M1 Pro. By the time they succeed, they're down to relevance for maybe 5% of their viewers. Who, as this reviewer notes, can simply spec up the 14" or just get the 16".
give me link wallpaper 2:30 sir 😍
That’s a photo I was editing in photoshop, not a wallpaper,
@@LeeZavitz ya no problem, I will use for my personal computer 😍
They mostly do video rendering test becouse they don't know anything else. What you want from video editors and photographers.
It would be refreshing to find a youtuber who didn't rattle on like video editing was the only thing people did with their laptop, god damn...
Either you’ve never used a MacBook Pro with a 720p web camera or you need your eyes checked because the new MacBook Pro’s 1080p web camera is much better than the old 720p so stop putting out misleading information because it tarnishes your entire videos credibility.
Saw the “ugly” notch, auto dislike.
