@@kirramcdowell You gain absolutely NOTHING by adding more RAM in video editing IMHO. It's all about GPU + CPU.. 32gb is enough to everything regarding video editing. You just lost money.
Great review Jerry. Thanks for detailed information. Curious, what is the silver blade type item in the right third of the screen first seen at the :24 mark?
Hi Jerry, I am having display issues and click issues with my MacBook Pro M1 laptop. Did you every figure out how to fix these issues. I saw your video from a few years ago talking about these issues. I still have not found a way to fix my display being stretched and distorted and the clicks not working. Any advice. Maybe make a video on what you have found out since your video two years ago. This is very frustrating. I normally use dual monitors and this is when I have the most issues with my displays.
I could not get over the pricing in the Apple refurbished store here in Canada. I just ordered this exact same laptop. I had a M1 16" Pro and I really could have kicked myself because I should have gone for the 32Gb version, so I made it right, sold my 16" today. It is still very, very expensive, but I need it to be able to run sandboxes on my laptop, hence the need for memory. In total, I spend 4k in Canadian dollars, but that is better than the 4631 that it would have costed me normal. The 14" also has a price for applecare+ that is more in line with my wallet.
@@JerrySchulze How long did it take for it to start doing this? 4 weeks later I still can't get it not to stay at 100% (charging) while hooked on my dual monitors on clamshell mode :/ I can't maintain the exact same routine as I take it out from time to time during the day for some couch coding or a cup of coffee outside but I have at least 6-7 good hours "docked" on monitors and charging cable every day
I have a form-fitted silicone keypad cover on my iPad Pro Magic Keyboard which prevents the issue you’re having. However, my reason for getting one was to keep the keys clean from my oily fingertips…
just got this exact computer, I had m1 Mac mini with 16gb ram and was running out of ram / Ableton was slowing down / needed a laptop. so far its handled everything I've thrown at it with ram to spare including stable diffusion (pretty fast at image generation! much better than the m1) and Ableton files with a bajillion tracks without ever using swap. highly recommended
Have you had overheating problems? Do the fans come on all the time? I am interested in this laptop to work in music production, mainly ablenton live, would you recommend it? I understand that ableton 11 gives problems with the m chips and improvements are expected in version 12, have you had any problems of this type?
@@sankyoFt fan doesnt come on too much, it handles most things i throw at it with ease. fan was coming on today editing 6k video, which i'd say is to be expected? mostly good for music but some plugins have given me latency... but it might be those plugins' fault. its a very good computer.
Im still rocking the M2 Max after coming from a intel 16 inch shall we say I rather enjoy the size and power as I have far less issues than what I had before, love it!
the keyboard wear and tear issue is unacceptable. i've been typing on one of my oldest macbook pro for 10 years (early 2013 version), and never had that wear and tear issue. wth
Is it ok i ordered m2 pro 12 cpu, 1tb, 32gb ram or should i go for max? Honestly i doubt i need so many gpu cores as i am not going to game on it as i have desktop. Was leaning towards pro due to battery and thermal
Hey nice review! I was tempted to buy one of these macs for my video editing because of the so much advertised dedicated h.264 and h.265 decoders/encoders, but then I hear you say that multicam Sony 4K footage makes your timeline stutter in Adobe Premiere (the NLE I am currently using) and, if this is not a speed issue linked to editing off of a slow external drive, this is truly disapointing... I think there is more to be said about these issues, because if a 3500$ computer targeted towards content creators fails to perform these tasks flawlesly, it kind of defeats the purpose. Thanks for your sincere input!
Ah so the 14 inch Max does still heat up and the fans come on Hopefully the same doesn’t happen with the M3 Max. I’m starting to push my base-ish model M1 Pro 14 inch with photo editing. Also looking at adding an iPad Pro, editing with touch is easier
This is great, but the M1 Max models have gone on some insane sales... I just got my 14" MBP M1 Max a few weeks ago with 64GB of RAM and 2TB SSD for $2,499 at B&H. It's been an absolute champ and honestly it's 90-95% of the same thing with maybe 1 hour less of battery for a SIGNIFICANT discount, and the lower-specced models are even cheaper!
Haha, how many hours do you usually get during daily usage? Does the fan spin a lot? Is the bottom hot to get the lap sweat? I prefer the silver one and $2699 is still a deal.
The part where you talked about the keyboard material.... i felt that so so bad. I too tried nearly everything to prevent the keyboard look oily and heavily used. and it not gonna work in any way. this is absolutely unacceptable for a laptop in that price range. i hate it and i hate it. you can use gloves and it will look oily after some days. I am still on my M1 Max MBP and i am very happy with the performance. I dont need to upgrade to the M2 Max, but i was thinking about upgrading to the M3 when it comes out. I actually do this depending on whether Apple changes something about the material, because i dont buy a laptop to use an external keyboard, which would prevent me from the noticeable prints on the keyboard. its a shame
@@Donbros Its a cost cutting, and appearance matter for apple. And most keyboard in the world just use ABS. It's only really custom keyboards and some brand name "custom" like keyboards that have PBT. But PBT used to be the standard back in the 60's+.
I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro looking to upgrade to the 14 inch M2 Max with 32GB and 1TB, yeah it's overkill but I don't care. I'll wait for Black Friday for a sweet deal. Cheers!
Man I have a the same … literally… mine has 8gb of ram and it’s just done. I just ordered the 64 gb of ram 14 and I use logic I don’t even need the max but fuck it I wanna be able to decide to do anything… good luck with your decision
I ordered the 15 Air 16GB/1TB and the realized that for $90 more I can just get the base 14 Pro 16/512 specs... but then I freaked out thinking I need the bigger 16 Pro model with 16/1TB... Initially I thought the 16 Pro was too big, but after a week, I'm loving this display and speakers.. But I am getting buyers remorse on not getting 32GB memory. Is $360 price bump worth going from 16 to 32GB memory? If I add that, plus apple care+ my purchase goes into $3k territory and I don't know if my normal usage is worth the cost? What do you suggest? 14 Pro 32/1TB or 16 Pro 16/1TB or 32?
My old tired M1 Max 16" MBP is still doing the job 😜. Still does everything I ask of it. It lives in clam shell mode however, so a Base Mac Studio might have been a better option (and less expensive), but it didn't exist when I bought the 16". Always enjoy your videos Jerry, keep up the good work!
@@JerrySchulze 14 inch m2 max temperature is around 50 Celsius constantly with few chrome tabs. Is it normal to have 50 degree celsius? Any issues like this way every day going forward?
My Air that I have had for three months also has shiny spots on space bar and shift key on left....Apple needs to go back to the early 2000's with that tinted hard plastic somewhat shiny keys ...a black tint of keys will work on the MacBooks :) Oh and so glad I bought the Air over the Pro for my true needs :)
It’s extremely hard to believe a decked out m2 could barely handle 4k Sony footage on premiere pro when I’m using a base model M1 Pro 14in & have still yet to get machine to stutter. I also shoot Sony - 4k 24/30/60 on a7iv & more recently 120 on a6700. Like honestly still don’t feel the need to upgrade, if I did at this point it would be just have the latest & greatest for no reason Edit** I use Davinci Resolve free version for video & rawTherapee for photos free as well
Thinking about getting one of these to learn coding. Just off the shelf with the 1 tb storage. Coming from a 13” M1 MBP. Waiting for it to go on sale at Best Buy.
Yeah i ordered it too just more upgraded version with better cpu and more storage. I tested i usually use 20gb ram so 32gb is more than enough but 16gb is far from it
I'm looking in getting my 2nd Gen MacBook Pro this fall. I bought my 1st Gen MacBook Pro 9 years ago and it's still running great. Back then, I splurged on the chip i7 & RAM 16 GB but scaled back on screen 13" & SSD 256 GB. My only issues are the battery and some light pixels in my screen which is understandable at this age. I have never had a PC run for half the life of this Mac. This Mac will become my daughters handmedown. I'm into photo editing & like to learn Unreal Engine 5,
@@JerrySchulze I'm not looking to buy sooner than in the fall. Right now, I found this on Amazon Max, 14" M1 or M2, 1 TB SSD, 12‑Core CPU and 30‑Core GPU.

Why?? What could you possibly use that much ram for??

How was the heat with basic RUclips and Final Cut Pro? Does the M2 max heat up on the 16in as well?
I was sorely tempted to purchase one of these but just couldn't justify it due to the gear I already have. But I still want one 🙂
Are you still having external display issues as you did with the M1? for example, any issues with a display that is not an apple display?

I have a MacBook Air M1 and have had it for about 2 years, and I have not noticed any wear in the keys at all.
really? hmmm.
I have a question, please.
Do you keep your MacBook plugged in all the time as you use it ? And if so, do you use any battery management apps ?
I do, I do t use anything. Apple does smart battery management and drains the battery to about 80% when docked all the time.

just watched your shiny keys vid before this one, do you ultimately not recommend the shortkeys stickers you tried out?
They worked, but I just didn’t like the feel of them and they were a bit of a pain to remove. Wish there was a good solution.

Those keys can easily be more wear resistant by using something like PBT instead of ABS. It's a lot more expensive but won't go smooth like ABS will.
Wonder if there are custom molds to replace yourself doubt though
