Oh it still is! A Tesla Plaid is faster than a Challenger SRT but there's plenty of reason to like both. My M1 MBA is everything I need and more, not that I'm not drooling here...
Still is. The single core performance is the same and the multi core is decent. Naturally, I'd prefer the M1 Pro or Max, but it's still a super solid performer.
This may sound like a stupid question (I do not do any sort of video editing/graphic design and am not at all the target market for these new laptops) but I was watching this video on my 13" m1 pro so how can I see so clearly the difference between the two? Shouldn't it cap at the lowest common denominator and therefore look the same?
Every reviewer last year when they had the new M1 Macs they where like this…”this is insane and stuff like tht” Wht I’m saying it don’t get stressed up on this new MacBook like take a moment an think The M1 trashes the latest i7 11 gen cpus wht no problem and they are $999🤷🏽♂️u good for 5 years and u Saving a lot of money
I bet we all knew this answer before testing it. The same thing happened with the binned m1 macbook air and the m1 macbook pro. Almost all the performance for less cost.
I think this video is very biased in favour of the 14 inch because it doesn't mention at all the one big advantage the 13 inch has over it: battery life. The 13 inch gets double the battery life of the 14 inch while the 14 inch had a battery life comparable to the Intel models. That's a big deal as battery life was the biggest hype in the Macbook Pro at up to 20 hours and it's definitely something people need to consider as a Macbook is a portable device at the end of the day and battery life can make or break a buyer decision, especially with the M1 models as that is one of tut biggest reasons that people wanted the M1 Macbooks for. Even though I have a big CX OLED TV and high contrast and HDR is very important to me, I don't it is as relevant on a laptop as it is for a bigger screen or even an iPhone (it is great for battery life on an iPhone), I'm going with the speced out 13 inch because even though it's only 300 bucks of a difference, the poor battery life in the 14 inch is a deal breaker for me. I'd rather a hit in performance but get that crazy battery life which is perfect for a train commute or a Starbucks work day. I wish they'd make the XDR screens for a Macbook that puts efficiency over performance, then I'd happily pay 300 bucks extra for a 13 inch with the XDR display. But for now, battery life is a deal breaker
I mean depends on what you like. I got the 13” pro over the air solely for the brighter screen, touchbar, better speakers, better battery, better mics, 1 more GPU core, and I personally like the touchbar. I’d say those are about $300 worth of differences for people who care about those little improvements but don’t wanna spend $2000
The MacBook Air is more than enough for what most people need. I’ll be buying one for my business just for those “you never know when you might need a laptop” moments.. but the Mac Mini Pro is what I’m waiting for. Will blow away new MB pros performance for the money.
Fair point, but some people need to do more intensive tasks such as heavy video editing. In those circumstances, you would want the fan which the air doesn't have. At the same time, you really don't need the 14 inch if you're doing video editing. The m1 13 will more than suffice.
Well done, love your set-up and comparison choices! Your benchmark charts are finally colored, and added a "lower OR higher = better" subtitle! Would be nice if you can add the benchmark as an overlay in the video.
Crazy how much you grown, Luke. I am one of your original 10k subs. You have definitely grown into the RUclipsr I knew you could always be. Proud of you, and hella inspiring. Early congrats on 350k. 1/3 of the way to 1 milli.
Thank you for making me feel secure for my decision to go with the base model over an upgraded model. On paper for my workflow I felt that it was enough but with a lot of the review videos catering to the higher end models, I was starting to rethink my decision.
Another great improvement with M1 Pro is for music. Delay went from 5 or 3ms in best conditions on a MBP i9 16 to an incredible 0.7ms on my M1 Pro 16 inches (base CPU). Settings are at 96khz with 64 bytes buffer... no drops, nothing at all, just mind blowing
TLDW; If you want more graphical horsepower, go for the base 14in MBP otherwise, 13in MBP & MBA are more than enough since the raw CPU power didn't increase that much.
I mean depends on what you like. I got the 13” pro over the air solely for the brighter screen, touchbar, better speakers, better battery, better mics, 1 more GPU core, and I personally like the touchbar. I’d say those are about $300 worth of differences for people who care about those things
@@toptiertech7291 yes, there are definitely a few ways in which it is better. But this is the closest MacBook Air has ever been to the Pro, and you really aren’t losing out on that much with $300 in savings. Apple has a very strong MacBook lineup. You really can’t go wrong with any of them
@@AnkerInsider correct. But I do think the 13inch MBP option needs to stay around. Some people want a little more than the air but don’t wanna spend $2000 and I think $1299 is a good stop gap for those improvements
@@AnkerInsider I had both and for the fan alone, the pro model doesn’t throttle like the air. I forgot the game but pro got 40 fps vs 25-30 fps due to the fan, speakers louder too, and touch bar for me is a luxury. The air for pure portable reasons and the pro for real work without throttling
I know that most youtubers focus on video editing performance, but would be possible to compare the performance between these models in terms of coding or machine learning. thank you for all these great videos
well it seems like there would be a market for coder comparison videos, the only problem is that most content creators do not know anything about coding, sounds like a good opportunity for someone from the coding community to start creating comparison videos would most likely be quite successful
Love your videos….turn your title around. Thumbnail is ordered from left to right, the title should also be left to right. It’s a small thing but it’s a little confusing and once you see it you can’t unsee it
I think for most people is the 14 base modell maybe with some extra ssd space the best choice.. Sure when you just compile the whole day take the max, but for most people the base is the way to go.
Same here also. I always tell people to buy for the future. The last MacBook Pro I purchased was the 2013 15". Still a fantastic machine, and it's been 8 years already- and still going strong. Planning on getting 10 years out of this M1Max beast...
I think the 14" is totally worth it compared to the M1 13" MPB. By the time you add in the 16Gb RAM and the 512GB SSD upgrades you're up to $1700 USD, so just $300 difference for the ports larger and better screen.
Currently using both in everyday life and just sold the AIR. leaning towards keeping the 13 inch macbook pro. Because... the 14" s STAYS hot. the heat put off for simple task is so concerning.
Was MBP 14" M1pro hot compared to 13 MBP? Thought to get 14" because of better screen, but I like 13 so much for all the rest (runs cool, light, better design, much better battery life)
The only doubt is as a photographer, who just need lightroom and photoshop, what to choose upgrade the CPU or just go with the 14/16” stock? And is it beneficial to go up from 16g ram?
It seems to me the real consideration for you would be future proofing. If you have been doing this for a while, and you are good to your machines, going with higher RAM and a faster CPU will likely future proof this thing for 3 to 5 years. They won't likely be making any major leaps in display technology for a while, so you might find yourself appreciating the higher headroom of a somewhat upgraded 16 inch versus the baseline 14 after two or three years as your apps evolve. That is, of course, if you find the room in your budget.
I'll admit, it was confusing to follow and had to go rewatch a few segments. The video started with the premis of pitting the 13" M1 against the 14" M1 pro, but abruptly changed the conversation to focus on the base M1 pro vs full M1 pro. The 13" M1 was kind of abandoned once it was obviously not in the same race as the M1 pro causing some confusion IMO. It felt like two different videos merged into one. However, this video is still has very valuable information and I am thankful that you compared the two new versions of the M1 pro as I did not think there would be such as small difference between the two. I wonder how much different the M1 max will be and look forward to that video.
I agree with you, he tried to fit two videos into one. But Luke first established that the M1 Pro crushes the M1 so he started comparing the differences between M1 Pro vs. M1 Max. That being said, I do agree with you - he wanted to fit a lot of info in and went a bit off track (he still included the benchmarks with M1 though)
I predict that M2 (10-core GPU) will be quite close to the performance of the double binned M1 Pro in terms of multi-core and GPU, and obviously will have faster single-core. So base 14" may be a better choice now, but the new machine(s) with M2 may be an even better value next year, especially with support for multiple monitors...
You have to compare the 14 Inch to the 16 GB Ram, 512 GB SSD Macbook Pro 13 Inch. And then it very much is a good deal, or at least better than the 13 Inch with that configuration
@@matt2m oh yea for sure I mean after seeing Luke's video you can tell the 10 core and 8 core have little difference but the m1 to the m1 pro has a big difference and with a similar spec it's just $300 but you're getting so much more
I'll like to know You're opinion guys... For 1.500€ I can get a MBA with 16GB and 512Gb memory It's worth it to pay 700€ more to take the MBP with M1pro ... To me that 700€ will do a lot in terms of buying a screen and some other stuff so it's not like I can just go for the better one if really doesn't worth it
What's even crazier is that I'm sitting here happy as a clam with a 13" M1 editing 4K flawlessly in Davinci Resolve...knowing that M1 Pro/Max is even BETTER. It's like lapping every other car on the track to be in 2nd place while Pro/Max has already finished. 1st Gen M1 is still monstrously good... making Pro/Max just mind-boggling.
Thanks Luke! Are you comparing the 14” ram performance? It’s $300 to go from 8-14 to 10-16 and $400 to go from 16 to 32gb of ram. Which upgrade u think is worth the most?
I got the 16gb RAM with the 10-16. I’m happy with it, but I don’t do much that needs the RAM. To be honest it’s my travel computer (I’m a pilot, always on the road). It’s a small computer and handles the games I like to play, such as OSRS and occasionally fortnite. The screen is gorgeous for movies and the speakers are insane. I do edit videos and photos on occasion, but haven’t tried that yet on the new Mac.
Thanks for repping the base 14 inch so much. I feel like so many people are maxing out the specs on these videos, with insane unaffordable upgrades for most people. A 32-core M1Max with 64GB of RAM is simply absurd for anybody doing normal things so I’m glad we can see how excellent the 14 inch base model is. Makes me realize it’s all I need honestly. Upgrading from a 2017 base MBP so it’s already a ridiculous upgrade for me personally
The 14 inch is just insane however there are both awesome machines, I think it depends on what you need and want, also budget plays a big role in my opinion. I have a MacBook pro M1 it is still a very fast machine for most everyday tasks.
The best comparision video i have seen! I hate how so many tech channels are more busy with taking 9 billion shots and weird angles to the point you cant even compare it for yourself. Your style is perfect. Nice shot that are not all over the place and just straight to the point.
id like to see real world tests. All of your tests are geared towards youtube creators. The majority run less demanding applications but lots of them with 30 tabs open.
Whichever one I get I will keep for years down the line. So I'm kind of leaning towards the M1 Pro 14 inch. But I dont code, most of my work is web-based and very light adobe stuff. I just work with web-based things, but I do want to keep it long term as well. So is the $700 extra worth it. uughh hard choice
On purely an impulse buy, I traded in my 2018 15in i9, my 2017 15in i7 and my iPad Air 4th gen towards the base 14in M1 Pro and was worried I may have jumped the gun without considering all of my options. However after watching your video, I don't regret it one bit. I only wish Windows would get behind supporting an M1 version of Bootcamp so we can really flex the M1/Pro/Max's power on native Windows gaming!
Thanks for this video. I also snagged the base 14-inch base model and was worried. I am also trading in my M1 Macbook Air for it. The M1 chip in that smoked a lot of machines that were way more expensive and had bigger specs on paper. The M1 air never flinched with anything I threw at it but did get hot on some tasks. So I realized I have nothing to worry about. The performance gains are gravy to the already fast M1 chips. I also appreciate the larger screen and ports. The dongles for the Air were annoying. Most people can get the 14-inch base and call it a day. It's really that good.
Do 16gb vs 32 gb on the Pros please!! I think that’s the most important decision most people need to make. It’s 400$ difference (or 600$ if you go with the 24 cores). Is it worth it for most users or 16GB is enough? What about future proofing? I’m worried that 16GB (same as my M1 air) may be too little.
I keep hearing that the price difference between the same spec M1 13 inch vs base M1 14 inch is only $300. True. But if you are paying $400 dollars more to go from the base M1 13 inch 8 GIG, 256 HD to 16 GIG, 512 HD, then your total jump to the base M1 14 inch is $700. That’s a big jump for some of us. Just sayin’….. M1 13 inch still a solid machine and good value at 16Gig and 512 if money is a consideration. Just my $0.02
What I was confused about is that he started to comparing 14 inch and 16 inch m1 pro at some point while I thought the video is about m1 vs m1 pro 14 inch
Great review, very excited for my new 14” MacBook Pro to arrive! I’d be interested in seeing what difference 16gb vs 32gb unified memory makes in creative applications such as Lightroom, Photoshop, or Premiere Pro
@@musqitonebeats2129 ??? What do you mean the air is shit in every aspect except weight and price, and i mean if you buy a Apple product being worried about a few hundred dollar than your shopping beyond means. Battery, screen, speakers, input connections, performance, cooling, resale value is all better. Not even a similar product.
Thank you so much for this video! I really needed this to make my final decision whether to go with M1 or M1 Pro! Your an actual legend for uploading it today. Love ya!❤
@@wtf3458 Hello there! I had two options whether to go with M1 Macbook Pro 13" (16GB/512SSD) or the Base Macbook Pro 14" (16GB/512SSD). The difference in price is not much. So i went with the Base 14". Ordered it yesterday from Japan and i cant wait to see it in person💪😉
I picked up my base 14inch yesterday and im speechless. This thing is a beast, i used to edit all my videos only at home, on my 2015 5k 27inch imac, and ive never had a proper editing laptop, i only had 2015 macbook air. When i saw the M1 pros i just knew i had to get one.
I would totally get the 14 inch pro. The 13 inch is fine if you upgrade to 16GB but a better screen, more ports, function keys, and faster CPU and GPU, faster SSD, plus an actually usable built-in webcam AND magsafe.... the 14 inch makes the 13 look like a piece of junk.
Hey hey, there’s nothing wrong with the 13 inch. It’s really solid considering it’s thinner, lighter and the battery lasts longer because it’s much more power efficient.
@@alextube2506 Yeah it's solid hardware, I just wouldn't buy one over the 14 unless I really really couldn't afford the 14 or really really wanted lightness (in which case I'd get the Air).
The funny thing is I’m a windows user & a gamer I haven’t ever had a mac but the way luke speaks and his enthusiasm towards apple products is so amusing to watch that his content is so enjoyable to watch even if I’m not getting these great devices
Awesome. Looking forward to comparison with cheapest M1 Max 16. This is a big question how much difference working with FCPX it will make between different tears (M1 pro 14 - max 16)
Some constructive criticism... please use consistent naming conventions for the devices on the graphs as it's really quite difficult to quickly compare them at a glance, especially when you are referring to the M1 MacBook Pro which is at the very top of the graph and the 14" Base which is at the very bottom. In my opinion it would be easier to read the graphs if they were named something along the lines of Macbook Pro 13" M1, Macbook Pro 14" M1 Pro (Base), Macbook Pro 16" M1 Pro or even something like Macbook Pro 14" M1 Pro (8C,14C) and Macbook Pro 16" M1 Pro (10C,16C) 👍 I know you're trying to pump out content super fast and it's fun to watch, but a little extra time on details like this would make the video much easier to understand and process. Andy
Thank you so much for doing this. I really needed someone to compare the two models. A lot of reviewers are barely mentioning the base model of the new MacBook Pro 14' as if it doesn't have 8 cores instead of 10
Watching this on my M1 mpb and I can tell you that it's still overkill for what I do but the battery life is incredible. Therefore, you should consider the M1 air unless you are constantly performing high multimedia tasks
Oh boy, this 14" M1 Pro is INSANE. I have an M1 Mac mini, based model, which is already a huge step up from my 2017 13" MacBook Pro (base model i5) and I have to say that this computer is truly unique. Is so good for so many reasons. The design, the weight is just right, the keyboard, magsafe, and so on. If you can afford one, do it! You won't regret. Thanks for such great video Luke!
Something everyone is not highlighting… the 13” only has 2 video controllers. One for the main screen and one for a second monitor. You can add a third or more but they are only mirrored displays. The new 14” and 16” have more video controllers. You can have 2 additional independent monitor displays. Up to 4 additional independent displays on the Max. This adds a lot of productivity.
Double the Ram, Double the SSD, 1.75x the CPU/GPU and the display? Most definitely worth the 700. Comment written on a 14"/Pro/16/TB MBP. Still trying to figure out if THAT was worth it.
As overkill as it might feel it's "futureproof" somewhat and IMO it won't fade into absolesense as quickly. I have the same model (the $2499 one right?). It's a beast.
Nice work on the test, just one note: during the 2:06 display comparison, I think the halo/bloom effect is exaggerated by the camera. Thanks for the videos! Keep up the good work and take care!
Just got a Mid 2012 unibody Pro 13" with the i7 for $128, all it has is cracked glass and $15 for a glass replacement, new ssd, got extra ram, charger and a display adapter for sub $200 range. Feel pretty good about it
Thanks Luke! I have been lurking in you channel for a long time now, and this is the video that made me want to say, BRAVO! By the way, how many Macs have you ordered by now?? The simple screen test was spot on by the way.
Thank you, great concise information. I have a 2017 and 2020 MBP and not sure which way to go but your video has helped me to get closer to making a final choice. I'm in Canada and the M1 MB Air is half the price of the new MBP 14 base, so a buying decision is important since this machine is expected to last at least 5 years trouble free, not including battery life, (its a laptop, meaning future desktop).
Woo-hoo! Thanks for using colored bars and adding "lower is better". It really helps convey the true meaning of the charts! PS - my eyes must be getting old because I barely noticed a difference in the two displays in the dark room test at the start of the video 😞
Answer: Duh, obviously. Only $700 to get rid of the Touchbar? Hell yeah. In all seriousness though, the M1 MacBook Air (especially 8 core CPU with 16GB RAM) is a better buy than the base 14” MBP unless you actually really need extra performance (in which case you should probably go with the M1 Max anyway).
Don’t forget it’s not just about performance, it’s also about longevity, better keyboard, better screen, slightly bigger screen, faster charging, more ports, better thermals and of course performance….
Seeing all the test in the 14" base model making me so happy and satisfy that I get the 14" base... to not burn extra cash on higher specs M1 pro/max on what I need for my work load. I can't wait to have mine 😁
I enjoy going back and watching videos like yours and feel that I would love to see a video that explains the differences between the memory dependency of previous models versus the current models. This means I would like someone to explain how certain programs can require more memory than others and how having an Apple silicon computer has changed that for the better or worst. Because I am only assuming that Photoshop takes up the same amount of memory no matter what model Apple device your using, but maybe I am wrong. I guess I am curious if the memory is better optimized on the silicon Macs if Photoshop took 6 GB of memory on my new M1 MacBook and I am not set to see a huge performance drop since the laptop can respond better than earlier models. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Luke, please add an external drive test to your testing. My M1 MBA sucks on write speed and I'm not the only one with this issue. Answer is yes, if just for the extra ports including the third TB and the MagSafe dedicated power outlet meaning you actually have two extra TB ports. To get these ports you'll spend a minimum of $250 for a dock with a large power brick meaning you need to take a larger bag with you. Others have mentioned the extra memory and storage on the base 14" vs the 13". The M1 Pro has faster buses, memory and storage. I think the cost is totally justified. The 14" MBP is like having to pay for two 13" MBPs. As for comparing it to the 16", you're paying $200 for the extra screen, which I believe is well worth it.
The real question is, "Is it worth paying $200 more for two extra CPU cores and a more powerful AC adapter?" (binned M1 Pro chip vs. non-binned M1 Pro chip)
Hey Luke, love these videos! I might be the only one having this issue, but it would help me follow which macbook you're talking about if you just said 13" vs 14" vs 16". You use the term "M1 MacBook Pro" or "M1 Pro" or "M1" to refer to different models at different points in the video and it gets a little confusing. Looking forward to your other reviews!
For the people stating that $1999 is too much for getting the binned down version, look at it in this perspective. The 16” and 14” are essentially the same. If you put the 14” and 16” specs the exact same, the 14” will always be $200 less. So essentially, the starting price of the 14” SHOULD be $2299 USD vs $2499 with the 16”. This is a MUCH higher entry point. I personally believe that Apple made the right decision and binned down the SoC to make a more attractive entry point for the Pros.
The perfect marketing: 1) make a laptop aimed at pleasing youtubers/video editors 2) youtube will make videos for free saying how good it is 3) people will see the videos and think the laptops are good at everything because every youtube says it is good for video editing 4) ... 5) PROFIT!
MacBook Pro M1 13" $1299 vs MacBook Pro M1 Pro 14" $1999 Latest Generation gets you: - $700 +0.9" display (And few extra pixels) +60Hz display (120Hz ProMotion) +500 display nits (++600 boost)(XDR) +Better Contrast, deeper blacks display -2 Efficient CPU Cores +2 High Performance Cores +6 GPU Cores -3 Battery hrs +8GB Ram (DDR5 with higher ram speed) +256GB Storage (with at least double speed for reads and writes) -TouchBar +Physical Function Row +Extra Ports (+1 Thunderbolt 4.0, +1 HDMI , +1 SDXC card slot) +2 External Displays at 6k 60Hz (Previous M1 only supported an external display) +1080p Webcam instead of 720p. +High-Impedance Headphones Support (Good for audio people) +2 Speakers if I'm not mistaken(6 total for new 14") +0.5 pounds (In this case + is a negative since is weight what we adding) Let me know if I'm missing something or what needs to be corrected, lets take this comment to the top.
Beside numbers, you really getting one of the best displays in any laptops in the market, double the ram and storage. Better GPU and a bit better CPU for multicore tasks, same speed on single core. I think the $700 difference is worth unless you can't really get that amount of money together(students,etc). But anyways for students I would actually recommend M1 Air for like $900 bucks.
Outstanding. I do wish you had put all the ARM bars next to each other on your performance charts. It would have made that comparison a lot easier. Your review videos are right on target. Press on!
I got the 16 but the vast majority of people don't need the CPU/GPU of the 14/16. That said, it's nice to have an extra USB-C and the ability to run more external displays. If you want a better deal, wait for the M2 Air. You'll get something a bit faster, with a better keyboard, probably 14 inch screen and maybe some more of the 2021 MacBook Pro goodies. And perhaps, at the same price as the M1 Air. Of course it's predicated on being able to wait that long. But a lot of us waited from WWDC to the 2021s.
Good work on all those tests!
Can't wait to see your tests as well ;D

Still is. The single core performance is the same and the multi core is decent. Naturally, I'd prefer the M1 Pro or Max, but it's still a super solid performer.

Thanks for doing the display test. As of yet, not a single tech RUclipsr compare it like you did. It's a great panel, can't wait to get it next year.
This may sound like a stupid question (I do not do any sort of video editing/graphic design and am not at all the target market for these new laptops) but I was watching this video on my 13" m1 pro so how can I see so clearly the difference between the two? Shouldn't it cap at the lowest common denominator and therefore look the same?
Definitely worth paying $700 to not get the touchbar.

I bet we all knew this answer before testing it. The same thing happened with the binned m1 macbook air and the m1 macbook pro. Almost all the performance for less cost.
I think this video is very biased in favour of the 14 inch because it doesn't mention at all the one big advantage the 13 inch has over it: battery life. The 13 inch gets double the battery life of the 14 inch while the 14 inch had a battery life comparable to the Intel models. That's a big deal as battery life was the biggest hype in the Macbook Pro at up to 20 hours and it's definitely something people need to consider as a Macbook is a portable device at the end of the day and battery life can make or break a buyer decision, especially with the M1 models as that is one of tut biggest reasons that people wanted the M1 Macbooks for.
Even though I have a big CX OLED TV and high contrast and HDR is very important to me, I don't it is as relevant on a laptop as it is for a bigger screen or even an iPhone (it is great for battery life on an iPhone), I'm going with the speced out 13 inch because even though it's only 300 bucks of a difference, the poor battery life in the 14 inch is a deal breaker for me. I'd rather a hit in performance but get that crazy battery life which is perfect for a train commute or a Starbucks work day. I wish they'd make the XDR screens for a Macbook that puts efficiency over performance, then I'd happily pay 300 bucks extra for a 13 inch with the XDR display. But for now, battery life is a deal breaker

As a RUclipsr said before (Luke / another one I forgot), either go with the MB Air or skip to the 14'.
I mean depends on what you like. I got the 13” pro over the air solely for the brighter screen, touchbar, better speakers, better battery, better mics, 1 more GPU core, and I personally like the touchbar. I’d say those are about $300 worth of differences for people who care about those little improvements but don’t wanna spend $2000
The MacBook Air is more than enough for what most people need. I’ll be buying one for my business just for those “you never know when you might need a laptop” moments.. but the Mac Mini Pro is what I’m waiting for. Will blow away new MB pros performance for the money.
Fair point, but some people need to do more intensive tasks such as heavy video editing. In those circumstances, you would want the fan which the air doesn't have. At the same time, you really don't need the 14 inch if you're doing video editing. The m1 13 will more than suffice.
Well done, love your set-up and comparison choices! Your benchmark charts are finally colored, and added a "lower OR higher = better" subtitle! Would be nice if you can add the benchmark as an overlay in the video.
Crazy how much you grown, Luke. I am one of your original 10k subs. You have definitely grown into the RUclipsr I knew you could always be. Proud of you, and hella inspiring. Early congrats on 350k. 1/3 of the way to 1 milli.
Thank you for making me feel secure for my decision to go with the base model over an upgraded model. On paper for my workflow I felt that it was enough but with a lot of the review videos catering to the higher end models, I was starting to rethink my decision.

Most of the reviews use benchmarks that are too far from an actual real-life scenario
Another great improvement with M1 Pro is for music. Delay went from 5 or 3ms in best conditions on a MBP i9 16 to an incredible 0.7ms on my M1 Pro 16 inches (base CPU). Settings are at 96khz with 64 bytes buffer... no drops, nothing at all, just mind blowing
A clean review where every current second felt as useful as the rest 18+ minutes.
TLDW; If you want more graphical horsepower, go for the base 14in MBP otherwise, 13in MBP & MBA are more than enough since the raw CPU power didn't increase that much.
Thank you
I think the M1 MacBook Air vs 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro is a more interesting comparison. Most agree that the Air is a better value than the M1 13" Pro.

@@toptiertech7291 yes, there are definitely a few ways in which it is better. But this is the closest MacBook Air has ever been to the Pro, and you really aren’t losing out on that much with $300 in savings. Apple has a very strong MacBook lineup. You really can’t go wrong with any of them
@@AnkerInsider correct. But I do think the 13inch MBP option needs to stay around. Some people want a little more than the air but don’t wanna spend $2000 and I think $1299 is a good stop gap for those improvements
@@toptiertech7291 I'm thinking the price might increase to $1499 with the M2 version, possibly with the 14" redesign.
@@AnkerInsider I had both and for the fan alone, the pro model doesn’t throttle like the air. I forgot the game but pro got 40 fps vs 25-30 fps due to the fan, speakers louder too, and touch bar for me is a luxury. The air for pure portable reasons and the pro for real work without throttling
6:18 the lack of music or any background noise makes this 1000x better
I know that most youtubers focus on video editing performance, but would be possible to compare the performance between these models in terms of coding or machine learning. thank you for all these great videos
well it seems like there would be a market for coder comparison videos, the only problem is that most content creators do not know anything about coding, sounds like a good opportunity for someone from the coding community to start creating comparison videos would most likely be quite successful
I’ve seen people like MaxTech doing the XCode benchmarks if those count
Are you surprised by the results? Do you think the base model 14” is a good value?
CAN YOU DO M1 max 24 GPU 32GB RAM VS M1 max 32 GPU 64GB RAM
Luke, would be great to measure the difference between 200 and 400 Gbit/s memory bandwidth
Love your videos….turn your title around. Thumbnail is ordered from left to right, the title should also be left to right. It’s a small thing but it’s a little confusing and once you see it you can’t unsee it
I think for most people is the 14 base modell maybe with some extra ssd space the best choice.. Sure when you just compile the whole day take the max, but for most people the base is the way to go.
I wish I could buy a 14 inch MBP with a regular M1 (including its limitations). That would be my sweet spot.
I bought the 14" M1 Max, completely maxed. So excited to receive mine - especially based on these base model tests.
Same here also. I always tell people to buy for the future. The last MacBook Pro I purchased was the 2013 15". Still a fantastic machine, and it's been 8 years already- and still going strong. Planning on getting 10 years out of this M1Max beast...
I think the 14" is totally worth it compared to the M1 13" MPB. By the time you add in the 16Gb RAM and the 512GB SSD upgrades you're up to $1700 USD, so just $300 difference for the ports larger and better screen.
Currently using both in everyday life and just sold the AIR. leaning towards keeping the 13 inch macbook pro. Because... the 14" s STAYS hot. the heat put off for simple task is so concerning.
Was MBP 14" M1pro hot compared to 13 MBP? Thought to get 14" because of better screen, but I like 13 so much for all the rest (runs cool, light, better design, much better battery life)
The only doubt is as a photographer, who just need lightroom and photoshop, what to choose upgrade the CPU or just go with the 14/16” stock? And is it beneficial to go up from 16g ram?
The Display difference is just enough to go to the latest gen if you a photographer.
Go with 14 stock when you want to be mobile.. maybe add some extra space like 1-2TB.
@@safebet5841 .. or just buy a 2 TB portable SSD and be straight!
@@hollywoodthedj1673 Yeah I wouldn't put anything over 1TB on it, after that you're better off with an external HDD or SSD to save money.
It seems to me the real consideration for you would be future proofing. If you have been doing this for a while, and you are good to your machines, going with higher RAM and a faster CPU will likely future proof this thing for 3 to 5 years. They won't likely be making any major leaps in display technology for a while, so you might find yourself appreciating the higher headroom of a somewhat upgraded 16 inch versus the baseline 14 after two or three years as your apps evolve. That is, of course, if you find the room in your budget.
I'll admit, it was confusing to follow and had to go rewatch a few segments. The video started with the premis of pitting the 13" M1 against the 14" M1 pro, but abruptly changed the conversation to focus on the base M1 pro vs full M1 pro. The 13" M1 was kind of abandoned once it was obviously not in the same race as the M1 pro causing some confusion IMO. It felt like two different videos merged into one. However, this video is still has very valuable information and I am thankful that you compared the two new versions of the M1 pro as I did not think there would be such as small difference between the two. I wonder how much different the M1 max will be and look forward to that video.
I agree with you, he tried to fit two videos into one. But Luke first established that the M1 Pro crushes the M1 so he started comparing the differences between M1 Pro vs. M1 Max. That being said, I do agree with you - he wanted to fit a lot of info in and went a bit off track (he still included the benchmarks with M1 though)
I quite liked the story this video had to tell
I predict that M2 (10-core GPU) will be quite close to the performance of the double binned M1 Pro in terms of multi-core and GPU, and obviously will have faster single-core. So base 14" may be a better choice now, but the new machine(s) with M2 may be an even better value next year, especially with support for multiple monitors...
I have the M1 Base 13”, it is an absolute beast. My only complaint is that I wish it had better graphics on board!
You have to compare the 14 Inch to the 16 GB Ram, 512 GB SSD Macbook Pro 13 Inch. And then it very much is a good deal, or at least better than the 13 Inch with that configuration
Yea then it only becomes a $300 difference
Exactly what you pointed out is my justification for staying with the base model 14 because the next $300 doesn’t get you that much in retrospect.
This!
but saying " if you planned on buying a spec'd out 13" MBP then just buy the 14", makes for a very short discussion"
@@matt2m oh yea for sure I mean after seeing Luke's video you can tell the 10 core and 8 core have little difference but the m1 to the m1 pro has a big difference and with a similar spec it's just $300 but you're getting so much more
I'll like to know You're opinion guys...
For 1.500€ I can get a MBA with 16GB and 512Gb memory
It's worth it to pay 700€ more to take the MBP with M1pro ...
To me that 700€ will do a lot in terms of buying a screen and some other stuff so it's not like I can just go for the better one if really doesn't worth it
I like your review style. Calm, moderate pace, not too exaggerated and flattering like other reviewers. +1 sub.
What's even crazier is that I'm sitting here happy as a clam with a 13" M1 editing 4K flawlessly in Davinci Resolve...knowing that M1 Pro/Max is even BETTER. It's like lapping every other car on the track to be in 2nd place while Pro/Max has already finished.
1st Gen M1 is still monstrously good... making Pro/Max just mind-boggling.
Thanks Luke! Are you comparing the 14” ram performance?
It’s $300 to go from 8-14 to 10-16 and $400 to go from 16 to 32gb of ram. Which upgrade u think is worth the most?
I got the 16gb RAM with the 10-16. I’m happy with it, but I don’t do much that needs the RAM. To be honest it’s my travel computer (I’m a pilot, always on the road). It’s a small computer and handles the games I like to play, such as OSRS and occasionally fortnite. The screen is gorgeous for movies and the speakers are insane. I do edit videos and photos on occasion, but haven’t tried that yet on the new Mac.
Thanks for repping the base 14 inch so much. I feel like so many people are maxing out the specs on these videos, with insane unaffordable upgrades for most people. A 32-core M1Max with 64GB of RAM is simply absurd for anybody doing normal things so I’m glad we can see how excellent the 14 inch base model is. Makes me realize it’s all I need honestly. Upgrading from a 2017 base MBP so it’s already a ridiculous upgrade for me personally
The 14 inch is just insane however there are both awesome machines, I think it depends on what you need and want, also budget plays a big role in my opinion. I have a MacBook pro M1 it is still a very fast machine for most everyday tasks.
The best comparision video i have seen! I hate how so many tech channels are more busy with taking 9 billion shots and weird angles to the point you cant even compare it for yourself. Your style is perfect. Nice shot that are not all over the place and just straight to the point.
How much coffee have you gone through this week? Great content and I’m really enjoying watching all of this develop on your channel
id like to see real world tests. All of your tests are geared towards youtube creators. The majority run less demanding applications but lots of them with 30 tabs open.
Whichever one I get I will keep for years down the line. So I'm kind of leaning towards the M1 Pro 14 inch. But I dont code, most of my work is web-based and very light adobe stuff. I just work with web-based things, but I do want to keep it long term as well. So is the $700 extra worth it. uughh hard choice
On purely an impulse buy, I traded in my 2018 15in i9, my 2017 15in i7 and my iPad Air 4th gen towards the base 14in M1 Pro and was worried I may have jumped the gun without considering all of my options. However after watching your video, I don't regret it one bit.
I only wish Windows would get behind supporting an M1 version of Bootcamp so we can really flex the M1/Pro/Max's power on native Windows gaming!
Thanks for this video. I also snagged the base 14-inch base model and was worried. I am also trading in my M1 Macbook Air for it. The M1 chip in that smoked a lot of machines that were way more expensive and had bigger specs on paper. The M1 air never flinched with anything I threw at it but did get hot on some tasks. So I realized I have nothing to worry about. The performance gains are gravy to the already fast M1 chips. I also appreciate the larger screen and ports. The dongles for the Air were annoying. Most people can get the 14-inch base and call it a day. It's really that good.
Do 16gb vs 32 gb on the Pros please!! I think that’s the most important decision most people need to make. It’s 400$ difference (or 600$ if you go with the 24 cores). Is it worth it for most users or 16GB is enough? What about future proofing? I’m worried that 16GB (same as my M1 air) may be too little.
I’m convinced. Luke doesn’t sleep anymore.
I keep hearing that the price difference between the same spec M1 13 inch vs base M1 14 inch is only $300. True. But if you are paying $400 dollars more to go from the base M1 13 inch 8 GIG, 256 HD to 16 GIG, 512 HD, then your total jump to the base M1 14 inch is $700. That’s a big jump for some of us. Just sayin’…..
M1 13 inch still a solid machine and good value at 16Gig and 512 if money is a consideration. Just my $0.02
What I was confused about is that he started to comparing 14 inch and 16 inch m1 pro at some point while I thought the video is about m1 vs m1 pro 14 inch
Great review, very excited for my new 14” MacBook Pro to arrive! I’d be interested in seeing what difference 16gb vs 32gb unified memory makes in creative applications such as Lightroom, Photoshop, or Premiere Pro
Great comparisons man. You're my go to guy now :)

I am getting the M1 Pro 14” for Christmas. My 2015 Pro Retina quit working in September. I waited for this upgrade to have the ports.
I picked up my base 14inch yesterday and im speechless. This thing is a beast, i used to edit all my videos only at home, on my 2015 5k 27inch imac, and ive never had a proper editing laptop, i only had 2015 macbook air. When i saw the M1 pros i just knew i had to get one.
I would totally get the 14 inch pro. The 13 inch is fine if you upgrade to 16GB but a better screen, more ports, function keys, and faster CPU and GPU, faster SSD, plus an actually usable built-in webcam AND magsafe.... the 14 inch makes the 13 look like a piece of junk.
Hey hey, there’s nothing wrong with the 13 inch. It’s really solid considering it’s thinner, lighter and the battery lasts longer because it’s much more power efficient.
@@alextube2506 Yeah it's solid hardware, I just wouldn't buy one over the 14 unless I really really couldn't afford the 14 or really really wanted lightness (in which case I'd get the Air).

I haven’t ever had a mac but the way luke speaks and his enthusiasm towards apple products is so amusing to watch that his content is so enjoyable to watch even if I’m not getting these great devices
Awesome. Looking forward to comparison with cheapest M1 Max 16. This is a big question how much difference working with FCPX it will make between different tears (M1 pro 14 - max 16)
Some constructive criticism... please use consistent naming conventions for the devices on the graphs as it's really quite difficult to quickly compare them at a glance, especially when you are referring to the M1 MacBook Pro which is at the very top of the graph and the 14" Base which is at the very bottom.
In my opinion it would be easier to read the graphs if they were named something along the lines of Macbook Pro 13" M1, Macbook Pro 14" M1 Pro (Base), Macbook Pro 16" M1 Pro or even something like Macbook Pro 14" M1 Pro (8C,14C) and Macbook Pro 16" M1 Pro (10C,16C) 👍
I know you're trying to pump out content super fast and it's fun to watch, but a little extra time on details like this would make the video much easier to understand and process.
Andy
You lost your focus. The title says comparing between the M1 Pro with M1. But you kept referencing the 10-core version.
Thank you for the clarity on your charts, I really appreciate you reading the comments and acting accordingly
Thank you so much for doing this. I really needed someone to compare the two models. A lot of reviewers are barely mentioning the base model of the new MacBook Pro 14' as if it doesn't have 8 cores instead of 10
Watching this on my M1 mpb and I can tell you that it's still overkill for what I do but the battery life is incredible. Therefore, you should consider the M1 air unless you are constantly performing high multimedia tasks
Oh boy, this 14" M1 Pro is INSANE. I have an M1 Mac mini, based model, which is already a huge step up from my 2017 13" MacBook Pro (base model i5) and I have to say that this computer is truly unique. Is so good for so many reasons. The design, the weight is just right, the keyboard, magsafe, and so on. If you can afford one, do it! You won't regret. Thanks for such great video Luke!
If someone is watching this video and has some doubts. This video gonna' clear everything up. THANK YOU BRO*
Now this is the most anticipated video on RUclips! Great video
Something everyone is not highlighting… the 13” only has 2 video controllers. One for the main screen and one for a second monitor. You can add a third or more but they are only mirrored displays.
The new 14” and 16” have more video controllers. You can have 2 additional independent monitor displays. Up to 4 additional independent displays on the Max. This adds a lot of productivity.
Main Reason Disappointed Me Is No TouchBar In 14 Inch Macbook Pro
I've been searching for this comparison all over the Internet. FINALLY
Double the Ram, Double the SSD, 1.75x the CPU/GPU and the display? Most definitely worth the 700. Comment written on a 14"/Pro/16/TB MBP. Still trying to figure out if THAT was worth it.
As overkill as it might feel it's "futureproof" somewhat and IMO it won't fade into absolesense as quickly. I have the same model (the $2499 one right?). It's a beast.
Nice work on the test, just one note: during the 2:06 display comparison, I think the halo/bloom effect is exaggerated by the camera.
Thanks for the videos! Keep up the good work and take care!
Just got a Mid 2012 unibody Pro 13" with the i7 for $128, all it has is cracked glass and $15 for a glass replacement, new ssd, got extra ram, charger and a display adapter for sub $200 range. Feel pretty good about it
Thanks Luke! I have been lurking in you channel for a long time now, and this is the video that made me want to say, BRAVO! By the way, how many Macs have you ordered by now??
The simple screen test was spot on by the way.
Great review. Looks like you’re having a lot of fun testing these systems
What Luke failed to mention is that
Any “non pro apple silicone chip” MacBook supports a single display. This is def a deal breaker
I feel like Luke’s videos have gotten exponentially better in a very short period of time
Thank you, great concise information. I have a 2017 and 2020 MBP and not sure which way to go but your video has helped me to get closer to making a final choice. I'm in Canada and the M1 MB Air is half the price of the new MBP 14 base, so a buying decision is important since this machine is expected to last at least 5 years trouble free, not including battery life, (its a laptop, meaning future desktop).
You answered my question. I just picked up a 14 inch MacBook Pro with 8 core today, while I set it up I am using my MacBook Air M1 which I will keep.
Woo-hoo! Thanks for using colored bars and adding "lower is better". It really helps convey the true meaning of the charts! PS - my eyes must be getting old because I barely noticed a difference in the two displays in the dark room test at the start of the video 😞
(higher is better) (lower is better) labeling on every instance of every graph is appreciated. Thank you for comparison tests. 👍
Answer: Duh, obviously. Only $700 to get rid of the Touchbar? Hell yeah.
In all seriousness though, the M1 MacBook Air (especially 8 core CPU with 16GB RAM) is a better buy than the base 14” MBP unless you actually really need extra performance (in which case you should probably go with the M1 Max anyway).
RIP the touchbar, but also good riddens! Haha.
Don’t forget it’s not just about performance, it’s also about longevity, better keyboard, better screen, slightly bigger screen, faster charging, more ports, better thermals and of course performance….
Seeing all the test in the 14" base model making me so happy and satisfy that I get the 14" base... to not burn extra cash on higher specs M1 pro/max on what I need for my work load. I can't wait to have mine 😁
I enjoy going back and watching videos like yours and feel that I would love to see a video that explains the differences between the memory dependency of previous models versus the current models. This means I would like someone to explain how certain programs can require more memory than others and how having an Apple silicon computer has changed that for the better or worst. Because I am only assuming that Photoshop takes up the same amount of memory no matter what model Apple device your using, but maybe I am wrong. I guess I am curious if the memory is better optimized on the silicon Macs if Photoshop took 6 GB of memory on my new M1 MacBook and I am not set to see a huge performance drop since the laptop can respond better than earlier models. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Luke, please add an external drive test to your testing. My M1 MBA sucks on write speed and I'm not the only one with this issue.
Answer is yes, if just for the extra ports including the third TB and the MagSafe dedicated power outlet meaning you actually have two extra TB ports. To get these ports you'll spend a minimum of $250 for a dock with a large power brick meaning you need to take a larger bag with you. Others have mentioned the extra memory and storage on the base 14" vs the 13". The M1 Pro has faster buses, memory and storage. I think the cost is totally justified. The 14" MBP is like having to pay for two 13" MBPs. As for comparing it to the 16", you're paying $200 for the extra screen, which I believe is well worth it.
6:07 LOL, great video Luke!
The real question is, "Is it worth paying $200 more for two extra CPU cores and a more powerful AC adapter?" (binned M1 Pro chip vs. non-binned M1 Pro chip)
Hey Luke, love these videos! I might be the only one having this issue, but it would help me follow which macbook you're talking about if you just said 13" vs 14" vs 16". You use the term "M1 MacBook Pro" or "M1 Pro" or "M1" to refer to different models at different points in the video and it gets a little confusing. Looking forward to your other reviews!
For the people stating that $1999 is too much for getting the binned down version, look at it in this perspective. The 16” and 14” are essentially the same. If you put the 14” and 16” specs the exact same, the 14” will always be $200 less. So essentially, the starting price of the 14” SHOULD be $2299 USD vs $2499 with the 16”. This is a MUCH higher entry point. I personally believe that Apple made the right decision and binned down the SoC to make a more attractive entry point for the Pros.
Luke you just saved me a TON of hours going back and forth if I really needed the 10/16 core/gpu combo. Great video and explanation. Keep it up
Excellent video. Thanks for the info. You were answering my questions about which one to get. looking forward to the 14" battle.
I think it will go down in history as singular example of how to screw up release with great product.
pretty weak not mentioning that the 14" has double the RAM.
The perfect marketing:
1) make a laptop aimed at pleasing youtubers/video editors
2) youtube will make videos for free saying how good it is
3) people will see the videos and think the laptops are good at everything because every youtube says it is good for video editing
4) ...
5) PROFIT!
Luke is critical, not a fanboy

Let me know if I'm missing something or what needs to be corrected, lets take this comment to the top.
Beside numbers, you really getting one of the best displays in any laptops in the market, double the ram and storage. Better GPU and a bit better CPU for multicore tasks, same speed on single core. I think the $700 difference is worth unless you can't really get that amount of money together(students,etc). But anyways for students I would actually recommend M1 Air for like $900 bucks.
Outstanding. I do wish you had put all the ARM bars next to each other on your performance charts. It would have made that comparison a lot easier. Your review videos are right on target. Press on!
@plus①④①②⑨④⑦⑥⑥⑥⑨ I don't understand the comment.
this just turned into 16inch m1 pro vs 14inch base m1 pro
I got the 16 but the vast majority of people don't need the CPU/GPU of the 14/16. That said, it's nice to have an extra USB-C and the ability to run more external displays. If you want a better deal, wait for the M2 Air. You'll get something a bit faster, with a better keyboard, probably 14 inch screen and maybe some more of the 2021 MacBook Pro goodies. And perhaps, at the same price as the M1 Air. Of course it's predicated on being able to wait that long. But a lot of us waited from WWDC to the 2021s.
Love the side by side screen comparison. Kudos.
I have an m1. Love it. I appreciate that someone finally did a comparison between m1 and m1 pro. I will be keeping my m1
