Yes, definitely document the office reno! Been waiting for the new tech videos! Really looking forward to more videos.
You got it right!!! 16" is the way to go and Silver ooohh silver looks so f'king sleek, retro and classy on this generation with that black keyboard.
Love the tech videos. More of this, please... And yes, we want to see the office reno project
Great video and useful info like the uninterrupted comparison of the speakers. I don't know anymore how many videos I watched where the reviewer speaks between the two audio samples which makes it hard to draw a conclusion. I don't really care about cars so I had never seen your other channel but I think you can do as well with tech reviews.!
So pumped you started a Tech Channel! Immediately subbed!
Been dying to see your take on some of these new products that have recently hit the market, apple especially! Looking forward to what you have in the pipeline and the Apple Studio project!
Originally got 16inch but felt it was too heavy and then got the 14inch but then realised I did not feel comfortable working with the smaller screen size... awaiting a 16inch now as I decided screen size viewing comfort was the important thing to me so happy to deal with the heavy weight now
Went back and forth 4 times here I’m an idiot 😂
This is helpful thank you
@@adityaapte3845 after having both twice I stayed with 14”. The 16 is just too large and heavy in comparison. Just add more to the screen with resolution scaling
@@frostgodx I think I’ll do just that, on video / photos the 16 doesn’t look so much larger until you hold it in person and realise that’s what gets you I think… thanks again!
@@adityaapte3845 That's exactly it! I thought ah its not that bad. My first impression was omg this is kinda crazy. Then i though okay, im going to try and get used to it because "its better". I ended up having both the 14" and the 16" at the same time and that pretty much sealed the deal for me. When i got up with it at home to go to the living room, or unpacked it at work is when it really hit me. The 16" just was too unweildy even though its not that large it just feels like a weapon lol. It took up too much table space and feels larger than it is. With the 14" i dont even give any of that stuff a second thought. I wished that it had more screen real estate but in the end i changed the screen scaling in display to the "more space" option and that resolved my concerns for me
Loved your content creation, really well made and delivered. I got the 16” M1 Max and I have never had a better computer or laptop ever! This is my first MBP or Apple computer and I can’t for the life of me wonder why I ever waited to move over, the only thing I’m struggling with is learning all the shortcuts, abilities and how it operates. Thanks so much.
Wow. Very nice video and great explanations on the various aspects of the machine.
Love cars and tech. Best of both worlds and your videos are awesome!
Tank you! I'm a software engineer who would also use the macbook to listen to music with friends, and you convinced me that the 14 inch would be perfectly enough for me. And from the price difference, I can bay a pair of portable monitors.
Your problems with trying to film this are so spot on. On a better day also the card gets full, light battery dies... hahaah xD Anyways, this was a pleasure to watch. I hope you'll upload more on this Tech channel. Cheers!
I think it would have made more sense to include tech related videos in your original channel. Yea, cars + tech may be an unorthodox pairing but at least it’s genuine, it’s who you are and what you’re into.
Loved this review, would love to see more tech content!
Finally a dedicated tech channel, looking forward to more vids
Watched you for the first time Joe! You nailed it.. Will be getting my 16 inch tomorrow. Keep up the fcuking good work! Love from India.
I did the opposite; I traded in my 16 inch for the 14 inch. 16 was just too big.
I would appreciate a bigger screen real estate
“It too big, It wont fit” - Ego by Beyoncé
It’s huge
As long as it fits in my backpack I don’t mind.
That 16” is gorgeous and it has a wow factor that the 14” just doesn’t have. The 16” screen is hands down better for productivity over the 14” and the battery life is clutch. Not forgetting the better thermals for sustained performance.
Finally my boy is doing tech videos! Subbed as soon as I’ve watched car market video
Yes, I want a full documentary/tour of your studio!!
Honestly, loved your content! And loved your way of describing how it feels! 😂 I agree with you. I carry my MacBook Pro 14 inch and when I looked at the 16 inch, sure loved the 16 but boy was it heavy and chunky. I already have a heavy bag from what I carry to campus every week. My 14 inch does what it needs to do. I have the M1 Pro 10 core CPU 16 core GPU so on and so for with 32 GB and 1 tb of storage.
upload more joe! love the content!
Bravo!!!!!!! Even though i own the 16 inch macbook myself, i clicked on the video and watched. I must say that this was the realest, uncut review I have every seen. Didn't even seem scripted or sponsored like all of these other reviewers. Great job bro and i hope you continue with the tech reviews.
He did say it was his third run through. Ha
@@scottscottsdale7868 thanks for your imput. 👍🏿
I watched over 10 videos about 14 oder 16 inch.
You just helped me to decide! It’s gonna be the 16 inch.
You deserved a sub 🙌
16 inch is better....more viewing comfort...I had both 14 inch and 16 inch...but 16 inch was the winner in the end.
Had both went back to 14”. 16” is just too large
Great review of the MacBook Pro M1 Max. If I may suggest, I assume that you are using the new DJI Mavic Pro 3 for the drone shots in your video, can you make a video comparing the Apple ProRes 4.4.2 video vs. the standard H.265 and H.264 video quality in the non Cine version of the Mavic Pro 3? Regarding the price inflation of cars due to supply chain constraints, there is another element causing the price inflation that existed before the disruption caused by the SARS-Cov-2 virus. That catalyst would be the historically low interest rates since the global economic downturn from 2008. Everyone in the financial industry is chasing alpha, i.e. yield with low interest rates the cost of capital is very low and therefore more risk inclusive strategies are employed to capture yield, ranging from carry trades to increased investment of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) into emerging markets. Regarding cars specifically there has been an inter-segment sector rotation taking place, first European classic and vintage cars saw price inflation, then American classic and muscle cars experienced price inflation, now JDM cars especially 90s JDM legends such as Nissan R32,R33,R34 GT-R's, Toyota MK IV Supra,Honda/Acura NA1 and NA2 NSX's as well as others. Now, price inflation is in the luxury and technical watch market as we speak. The art market is almost always in a persistent state of price inflation, as obviously the works from the noted masters are quite limited.
Love the tech! Document the whole office thing would be awesome!
this entire review could have been 2 minutes - i came here about screen size, topic didnt start until nearly 5 mins in. youre a very good presenter all in all
Upload more videos here!! Came from the cars but also I love your perspective from tech!! Greeting from Mexico City!
Macbook pros M1-based are great, yet my main reservation is that storage is soldered on. in the middle of a project if the computer fails, I much rather be able to take the storage out, put it in an enclosure and continue somewhere else. So I am still partial FOR Critical work, to Thinkpads (which btw, are still better keyboards) or the ocassional HP Zbook or Dell Precisions. Also next business day onsite service is great to have.
I’ll go out on a limb and say your tech appreciate videos are still a must to the community. Otherwise stay safe, stay busy and stay easy
Waiting on the same spec , thanks for the review (great mind thinks alike ;) )
Definitely want to see a desk setup/makeover video
Yes, we want the setup video, Joe...
Just a note: The M1 Max 14" is very easy to heat up...there is a lot packed into a very small space and when you start to use that horsepower the heat comes quickly.
I have a similar laptop to yours, a 16" M1 Max, 64GB, 2TB. I am an AI researcher and do all my machine learning work on it, its terrific compared to my previous machines.
Two issues so far:
1. Some of the libraries are not fully available for the M1, such as Caffe2
2. Some of the libraries such as PyTorch are not using the GPUs. EDIT: This is fixed, PyTorch uses the M1 GPUs. Kudos to Apple and Meta working together to fix this!
I am sure they will be addressed soon. Other than that, it's great for AI work and can handle large projects well. As Tensorflow and PyTorch are with GPU support, it's pretty quick.
I threw out my displays after using this, its so convenient as I prefer moving around the house doing my work 😃
My only problem with it is a personal one, I am afraid of going out with it as I am worried about dropping it! 🙁
@James Reuben Gruta Unless you have large projects you don't need a lot of RAM. If I was starting on machine learning for the first time, I would get a 16GB RAM. This should suffice.
I have the same spec’d 16” M1 Max. I’ve been learning various coding languages and running windows virtual machine. I have to say it’s was getting quite annoying carrying it around. So I caved and brought a 14” M1 Pro 10 core 16GB ram for everyday carry. I was very afraid to keep carrying it around even with AppleCare+. Now it stays nice and cozy at home
Awesome video man. Can’t wait for the next one. You should do a collaboration with MKBHD. any thoughts on doing Gun videos?
Hey joe, happy 4th !! when is the next video dropping ?? Looking forward to it 👌🏻
I totally agree with the “feel like keep working “ man the beautiful display ❤
I have MBA m1 and can’t wait to buy a 16” someday 🤞🏻
I love my Dell XPS17.... I couldn't go back to
Bring on the tech! :D
You should do a review on the backpack! I’ve been dying to get one but I am not to sure if it’s worth it!!
That was to the point... at last, thank you
The scene of the MacBook used in the Raptor, that needs to be in some Ford promo material 😂
🔥🔥 review
Hello! I am wondering if I should get the 14 or 16 inch MCP. I am going to code for school, and I do have a stationary computer with two 24 ´screens. I do also have a 12.9 ipad pro. I do have owned a MCP 13´, and I felt like there is not that much difference than the 14´. What do you think ?
I liked the 2014 macbook pro's keyboard. It had the same key travel but less resistance.
Yeah man let’s see the studio build love the tech side of it
how did you 'switch' from the 14 inch to the 16 inch? Did you sell your 14 inch for half price and then bought the 16 inch again?
the 16inch is the upgrade to my original 17inch…. just a little smaller and slightly lighter
Joe knows...tech! lets gooooooooooooo 💻
Do you still recommend M1 Max for software development or it’s better to take m2 pro/max?
Looks like you are normally using external monitors as you work on projects. If I don't have a monitor.....I'm thinking the extra screen size of the 16" would be greatly appreciate as I work on projects. Thoughts?
What would you suggest? Have thoughts on getting either a 14" mac with M3 Max, 1tb drive and 36gb ram or a 16" mac with same specs. Love the portability of the 14" but screenspace of the 16". Np plans on getting on plains or anything. Around the house or coffee shops etc is what id be taking it and doing web dev and learning software engineering. I do have a nice updated most recent PC laptop as well already. or would a 14” m3 pro with 1tb drive and 18gb ram do just as good? as far as learning ios development, web dev etc?
Would you buy a Mac Studio now if you were going to use it mainly in clamshell mode?
Would love to see you redoing your studio.
Where can I get that wallpaper on your studio displays or from the 16" from 1:16!?!?
More tech review please !
Great video.
Im on the fence for the M1 procs, I need VMWare Fusion and Windows to get their licensing in check before I can jump in
better off using parallels desktop instead as it's sooo much faster in general for Macs
Would love to see the Studio renovation man 🔥🥵👏
Great channel
Intro was 🔥
Nailed it!
I own a hot potato 🥔 but it’s cool I’m not offended 😂 I have the M1 MacBook Air it’s incredible. Keep the “GoodBye” sign off that’s so classic.
I have the 16 pro M1 and wil also be buying the new MacBook air m2 when it becomes available. Will be using the air for traveling.
Let's see that office remodel!!!
About the size - as a developer,, you'll probably use most apps in full screen mode (VS Code for example), so what is it that makes the 16" better? muuuch more heavy and less portable
You got my point, I don't need an external monitor, I don't need an external mouse, I don't need and external trackpad, I don't need an external cam. The 16 give me everything, I hate all 2K or 4K monitors, all looks like trash, the only solution is the 5K studio display but I don't need it, the XDR on the 16 is better! I also hate the external trackpad, yes!!! is not the same as the trackpad on the mbp, I mean yes same gestures etc. but!!! have the keyboard on the top and trackpad on the bottom on the mbpro is perfect! because when I use the external trackpad and external keyboard one beside other, I start to move sooooo slowly and those two things moves around constanly, so the mbp is one big solution for me!!!
I'm waiting for M2 macbooks becauise even if I ordered one now online it would take aug or longer to get it in anyways. Best choice 64 GB or 4 TB SSD for FCP and Premiere Pro
I was hesitant cause I could not decide between dell xps 17 2022 and the macbook pro 16 inch but now I know which one I am gonna get )))
Which ? I returned my Dell XPS 15 . It's the same price as MBP 14
@@c4me540 if the software you use doesn't require a particular OS go for MBP 14, no hesitations
Would love to see what apps you use on daily and for coding and explaining a bit about that...
Only 2k subs for this level of production and quality????
Where do you get your wallpapers!?
Finally one dev RUclipsr that tell me how long the battery life(17 to 19 hours) is of dev tools thx bro
Honestly, this is the best laptop I've ever owned I bought 14 before try using it and the screen wasn't big enough returned and bought 16 inch and I just cannot say there's no better laptop than a 16-inch M1 Max pro like this thing is a beast 14 inch is still nice but I prefer being on a $200 more I have a bigger screen I watch a lot of RUclips videos Netflix so the bigger screen works hands-on best laptop ever owned in my life
Hello! did you feel any difference in the comfort of writing on the 16 inch ?
Struggled with the decision but went for the 16 inch. Battery life, screen size and the thermos made the difference: this machine never has fan noise, never gets hot. As far as the weight, I spent a lot of time on finding carry bags for a 4.7 pound machine, found one that is comfortable so weight and portability really is not an issue as well. Never thought I would go for a laptop this big, but do not regret my decision. This was expensive, but would not be surprised if I am actively typing on it 10 years form now!
Love your videos!!!
I have the option of getting a 14" , 1TB, 10CPU, 16GPU, 32 unified, 16 neural engine (10/16/32/16) new in box and sealed, or a base 16", 512GB, 10/16/16/16 from the actual Apple store for roughly the same price.
I am a bit confused about the throttle, thermos, and battery life implications. I want good battery, and I do love a smoother photo/video editing workflow, but I am not a professional (i.e., it's not my main income).
I am not sure if I go with the 14" from a private seller, or the Apple store. What would you do?
What did you end up with?
@@alexandergulbrandsen646 16" M1 New
@@dnice4441 Thank you for the answer! and you were satisified with it ?
@@alexandergulbrandsen646 absolutely!!!!
men I love u channel is so unique ! I have the MacBook Air 2018 but I want but the MacBook Pro 16 only for the screen side I am big guy 6.3 and the 13 air look small for me , I don't do video edit or photos I am regular user and I getting old and my eye are not the same . if apple came in the future with 16 inch MacBook Air will be awesome ,
awesome video
get a new 12th gen Intel or AMD for half the price, with 3y guarantee. Life with 17" is just awesome. After 2 years with MacBook Pro - never again! I could not get used to inconsistent keyboard shortcuts across different apps even within the same vendor (save in VSC vs VS, as an example).
Please make a desk setup video
First!! Love the giraffe's video, see ya next month lol
See you in 3 months Joe!
I think you mean… in 2 hours on the other channel 😏👌🏼
@@joeknowstech346 Yessir!
@@joeknowstech346 then in 3 months 😁
@joe what is the name of the song in the beginning?
Is that an uplift desk?
Just here for the blue wallpaper.
Nice video, post more
What backpack is that?
Hope joe posts more than 1x a century..
Can you compare the comfort on typing on the 14" versus the 16". Thanks
If you have big hands, the 14" will feel cluttered and I tend to palm the trackpad. I returned mine for the 16" MB as its the same keyboard but the wider chassis helps. It is a big B***H lol.
@@Brothererick1 same, I really tried to use the 14”. It’s for children. It’s too small. I hurts my wrists using it. I have no space. 16” is actually relaxing. I can actually rest my hands without worrying my hand or palms are on something then accidental triggers or mis-clicks.
@@Madhawk1995 Exactly! I caved and brought a 14 M1 Pro 10 Core 16 Gb for everyday carry. My 16” 64 GB stays in the home office.
I’m stuck between choosing 14” and 16“ all the same reasons plus occasional travel. Thankfully my work got me a computer so I didn’t have to jump the gun last fall, well they had to because I can’t have any of the data outside their systems.
For me Pro would be enough in power (price to waiting rate!), but I do RAM heavy stuff and there’s been occasions that 32GB is not even nearly enough.. Soo, waiting if next gen would give 64GB for Pro and if it doesn’t I’ve already got the extra funds.
Except if my old MBP dies now I’ll just go for 32GB Pro, but 14” or 16”!? 😢
14 Makes work easier from anywhere, 16 ties you to a desk at home
holding out in the hopes of a 15" M2 pro release
men the 16 is amazing and not that heavy
Same dilemma hit me last 2 weeks. I just bought 16 inch and im happy with it
US = 32core 64GB 2TB - 4300 dollars
EU = 32core 64GB 1TB - 4300 dollars
Unfair
I'm experiencing Deja Vu
So you don't feel like the 16" is too large for coffee shops, etc.? I see people comment about how it's too large and bulky to take anywhere. I'm super conflicted over which one to go with. I mostly work from home BUT I do like to sit in bed, or on the sofa, etc., and am concerned the 16" will feel too bulky and cumbersome.
The biggest thing I have noticed, is when doing long renders or anything thats very CPU intensive for longer periods of time, the 16" is ALOT faster than the 14". However if you're not doing tasks that really spin up the CPU/GPU for more than a few minutes at a time, it really just comes down to screen real estate. To be honest, the 16" is big, its clunky, and as much as I love the extra screen space, I would probably go with a 14" if the speed issue didn't exist. But since I am doing very CPU intensive tasks, the 16" it is for me.
I would say if its a daily machine, you're editing youtube videos, or just doing day to day work, the 14" is the better device for an "on the go" user.
If you're editing all day every day, or doing 3D renders, or the machine rarely needs to move around (used at a desk) go for the 16"!
16gb or 32gb?
6:34 where’s that Logitech craft bro?
Wait didn’t you upload this video to JKB like a month ago?
Yeah, got hit with a copy right issue and uploaded to the wrong channel lol. But now it’s here to stay 👌🏼
The only thing I learned from this review: "16", it's a big bitch" XD
You have oversimplified the differences between the M1 14 and 16 by inferring that the primary difference is really only screen size and downplaying the other differences like the larger, more efficient fans in the 16. For me, that is a MAJOR difference when you are working with really demanding apps like Resolve, Photoshop 2022, and Premiere, which are the apps I mainly work with.
While it's true the 14 can provide acceptable performance with the smaller fans, the fan rpms get maxed out on the 14 under heavy loads, whereas the 16's fan can barely be heard.
Maybe for some people this isn't a big deal, but I find it really distracting, and also it makes me wonder what that kind of heat does in terms of the longevity of the device.
The 16” fans maxed out are actually louder it’s just they don’t max out even when the chip is pegged full load it can maintain 75c. The 14” same situation about 5% less performance and 85c. Both have massive thermal headroom there which is great.
nice video
gresat video!
