I got my 16" M1 Pro a few days ago, mint condition, 1 month young and saved a whopping 800€! I prefer the Pro over the Max, since thermals and battery are much better and the GPU is still powerful enough for almost any task. The screen, speakers, keyboard, design, etc. are AWESOME

I do not think so. The 32 core GPU can be compared with an RTX 2070/ RTX 2080 depending on the application. And: Apple will only bring a 3D API competitive to DirectX 12 and Vulkan with MacO's Ventura.

I must say, when a lot of KZreadrs hyped the 16 inch I didn't believe them. I went out and bought one as I needed an upgrade and... Well, they definitely weren't just hyping it up, it really is that good.

It’s nice! I have the MacBook Pro 16 M1 max… had a few freezing issues and it doesn’t really compare to my Ryzen 3900x and 3090 gpu pc also I think the keyboard is awful. Not sure why so many people like the MacBook keyboards I think my iPad Pro magic keyboard is better and the surface pro/book , razer laptops etc are all better. Obviously just preference though. But a I’m saying is I think it’s a woNderful laptop but it’s people over play what it’s capable of it’s still a laptop without a dedicated gpu and costs only 4k

I *just* started using my 14” MBP today, and your videos from last year were super helpful in my decision. Cheers for supporting MacPaw! I’ll check them out.

had mine for about a month and love it. can't go back to a smaller screen now.

Thanks! Enjoyed the video and found it useful. I appreciated your commentary on the Studio Display. My wife's 2014 iMac is getting slower and slower, so I may end up giving her this 2019 iMac and buying a 5K display to use with my 16" M1 Pro MBP. Speaking of which: Weight is relative. I'm a little (5'8"/160 pound) old (80 years) man in good shape. My biggest problem with the 2021 MBP and my 2015 15" MBP is how slippery they for old fingers with fingerprints about worn off, so I put them in inexpensive (twenty bux) textured cases - problem solved. For my use, the $200.00 cost increment to get the screen real estate trumps the slight increase in weight over the 14" M1 Pro MBP. The battery life of the 2021 is three to four times the battery life of the 2015 - a huge feature.

got my 16, M1 Max 'top spec' 4t ssd it arrived last week, I think it's amazing, truly is, I've never been able to do my workload on a laptop, and have the convenience of being able to work anywhere, one of the underated ultimate changes is the COMPLETE SILENCE from this machine... nothying... it is a game changer love it.

Great stuff! Good review! Thank you, Mark! I am using several Mac Paw products for many years. Love them! Support them. Cheers from Moscow.

Ordered my 16 inch maxed out top spec 2 weeks back... can't wait :D

yes, thank you. I pick up my 16 McbPro Max 16" 64ram 4tb this evening. I know it might be too much to some people...but I'm running Pro Tools with a lot of plug-ins while mixing tv shows and other broadcastable mediums such as music videos, concerts, etc. (glad to drop that cheese grater Mac Pro finally), all Adobe products with multiples on at a time since I took publishing a monthly magazine as well. So with all of that said, I find myself at a cattle ranch and get an email (via Starlink! yay) from a tv or music client and I need to turn on that mode and with the computer I'm currently working with, a McbPro 16" 2019 that is 'maxxed out' at 32 ram, I can finally just 'get things done' as I need to and wherever I need to. I'm super excited to finally get a laptop that keeps up with me. Almost got the mac studio but then I'd have to get another laptop anyway, so why not just get one...for now, haha. Now I just need a nice monitor and I'm at the ready. thank you Mark.

I had a 15” Apple PowerBook G4 from 2003 until around 2010? and it was my favorite laptop of all time (even if the G4 got toasty). My new 16” MBP is almost exactly the same size while better in any way. I was originally planning on getting the 14” but it just felt so small when I actually got hand on in the store. The 16” is fantastic, and fits easily in any normal-sized, 20L or so backpack.

I look at my desk with 3 monitors and a projector, I have to get the max. I’ve been carrying my 2019 16inch in my 25 pound backpack around daily all around my city for almost 3 yrs now. I’ve needed to have 2 screen replacements because there is so much pressure on my back that the dust on the palmrests have engraved literal holes on my display. The keyboard keys rub on the screen too and its just horrendous. Before this computer I used to carry a 2017 razer blade pro 17 inch that is 6 pounds heavy everywhere and taking 6 or 8 flights a year. I now have some serious shoulder and back pain and exercise is a must but damn, there are really downsides lemme tell ya

I waited years to upgrade from my 15" MacBook Pro early 2012, which also meant putting my desire of getting into film making on hold. I collected so much video material from travels and such over the last few years and putting it on hold on harddrives till I could justify buying a new mac (the 2012 MacBook still runs effortlessly).That was till the new 16" M1 Max MacBooks were release. And it absolutely delivers and puts a smile on my face every day since I bought it. Alone the screen is worth going 16". Yes, it is an expensive machine but if its keeps running as long as my previous MacBook it's worth every Penny to me.

So, I definitely understand what you mean about the laptop being too heavy. I own a very similar configuration to yours but 14 inch. I used to use an M1, but I found that didn’t have enough headroom for me, so I upgraded to the M1 Maxx mbp. I love it, I love the computer, but I’m about to go on a long trip where I do need this power, so I’m going to bring my laptop with me. I’m gonna be traveling around for a few months, literally.

great video. the only thing I can't decide on is 16 or 32.

Great you have such good experience. How does your battery capacity behave after this time and sitting mostly plugged in?

My 2015 MBP has been AMAZING! But's she's tired, and as the programs get bigger, it slowed down. Battery is shot, 30 min max( runs like a champ plugged in). Sooo, I am ready to pull the trigger on one of these. You spoke about too much power, I see it like this. - Today > Tomorrow - . Today is peak performance (Higher the bar, slower the decline) Tomorrow peak demand (larger program demand, reduces power to meet in the middle). I think a cheaper machine dwindles faster, costing you more. The FCPX lag you mentioned, when they fix it, will chomp another bite of the memory. Spending 4k on it isn't nice, but I will feel good about it.

I have had the 14” MacBook Pro for about 3 months and my studio display for about 3 weeks. It’s a fantastic setup and the 14” pro is easily my favorite computer ever. Not just my favorite laptop, but my favorite computer. It just has no real downsides. It’s a phenomenal laptop and also one of the fastest desktops I’ve ever used while it is docked.

Hi Mark, thank you for the review. I'm going back and forth on what I want to buy. I was interested in the M1 iMac for the screen but still want a laptop so was thinking either a 14/16 MacBook M1 Pro and pairing with the Studio Display, or just the 16 inch on it's own. I'm one of those people that don't seem to notice promotion (have it on 10.5 iPad Pro), but worried about colour. I compared the screens of my iPhone 11 with a 12 Pro Max and noticed the same photos on both had much better colour on the 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11 looked a bit washed out. Will I get that same sort of difference with the Studio Display compared to the new 14/16 MacBook Pro's since they lack HDR? or do the screens looks fairly similar except for the deep blacks and sometimes bright areas for HDR? It's an expensive monitor and very hard to know if it's the right choice for me when checking reviews. I'm aware anything will be an upgrade to be fair since I'm currently using a 2015 13 inch MacBook Air with no monitor. Interested in your thoughts since you use both, thank you.

I went with the 14in MBP but got a good deal on a higher maxed one than I planned for, simply because it offered 10 core CPU and 16 core GPU for nearly $400 less than Apple is selling the same model with the same specs. It also had 16gb ram which I wanted, and the higher rated power supply. I'm only on day 4 with it and so far I absolutely love it. There's a warmth to using the keyboard but it's not hot, and the screen is fantastic. I knew what specs I wanted, so I was able to decide on what model before looking for a good price. I went with the 14in mainly due to the price difference between it and the 16in. I also felt 14" would suit my space on my desk the best. I would have been quite happy to go with the M1 Air, but for the difference in camera specs. The camera on this is 1080p and the one on the Air Pro is still only 720p. I ordered a monitor for it, but it arrives tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. I have it connected to an older one - and let me just say - prores on a monitor not made for it is pretty sad and annoying! Also! KUDOS for not accepting any sponsor money from MacPaw and thank you for talking about how they've been taking care of us Mac users as well as their work for the people of Ukraine.

@@shotbybennihana I've found the memory 'just works' and have not run into any issues with it. At first I monitored it constantly because I was coming from and iMac that wasn't keeping up even with 100gb of RAM. After a few weeks of nothing interesting happening and no problems, I stopped worrying about it and have since gone on to using whatever apps I need to and haven't had a situation yet where the memory has had issues. I do have a thing that quits Chrome if I haven't used it in half an hour so that probably has helped squash any issues with Chrome using too much memory. Last week I edited a 15 minute video using iMovie (it's all I have at the moment) and had many other apps open as I needed some photos from my library and needed to create a thumbnail image for the video file. I didn't have any problems whatsoever. I did have a large swap file created, but creates and deletes or shrinks the swap file as needed. Aside from having to have USB dongles on either side of it, this MBP has really been a winner. Sorry it took me awhile to respond!

Thanks for a good review. How do you zoom in and out of timeline without a trackpad on Final Cut Pro when not using your laptop?

I now totally get your worry about carrying it but IMHO because it's heavier you will be more careful with it. I have found an old SwissGear model that is the only thing I trust on expensive laptops. I bought extra to save when it looked like they would quit making them. I usually only carry mine around the house but definitely has a "death grip" on it, lol! As noted on your survey I've carried around much heavier laptops for years so it seems light but even those, while expensive, were a lot less than my MBP and I only have the M1 Pro version! Personally after using PCs since the late 70s as a child then being in IT since the early 90s with tons of desktops and laptops, the M1 MBP models are indeed game changers, I've never used a laptops in as many ways or as many places as I have this one... ever.

owning just the m1 pro instead of the max due to the price . but 16 inch is the way to go due to bigger battery life and the improved m1 pro allow no limitation for general day use. even zoom meeting last from 8am to 5.30pm with 30% battery life left. this battery life built like a tank. no regret unless the battery life degrade overtime

If you were to switch to DaVinci Resolve, you wouldn’t have to deal with the problems with audio rendering on FCP and you can already use DaVinci Resolve on an iPad Pro. Worth exploring the option IMO 🙏🏼

I own the same $3,700.. only 10 weeks.. I still use my MID-2012 iTeL as well... I work out of my home office so it really is desktop...

I have a gaming PC that outperforms the new Macbook Pros, BUT I tend to find myself getting distracted by all my monitors... That or my friends hitting me up on Discord wanting to game. I think it would be responsible to switch to a Macbook Pro away from my gaming setup. Plus, I will have something to do while I am travelling for work. The main reason for getting it is to start doing something with all my GoPro footage while riding my motorbike. I record at 4k, so I feel like the Pro chip with 32 GB of "Unified memory" with 2 TB should suffice. I like your realistic approach like Luke Miani. Keepin it real! 😎

I recently upgraded from 15.4 " mid 2012 MBP i7 16gb, which has been used for music production, and Dj software, I have loads of Go Pro 4K footage that was time consuming to install, I went and brought the 16" M1 Max 32GB, 1TB model, OMG.......the machine is so fast, but worry about portability, not so much the size and weight, but could you work in a coffee shop with it, would i even dare to take it into one and use it, its simply the best MBP for a generation, i work in London, and there is a crime epedemic just like NYC at the moment, and that said this limits the actual day to day functionality of using this in certain enviroments.

Great video Mark, one of your best. I think you have go to the heart of M1 chips and the Mac. I’m at the other end of the financial scale with these chips. Yesterday I bought 256gb M1 MacBook Air. I write and do admin and publicity for my local Branch of Samaritans. I use cloud or remote storage so HDD size isn’t an issue for me. However what I think unites us all is the efficiency of the M1 chip and battery time etc. Plus the Apple O/S just works for me. So I think Apple is serving both low end people like me and pro users like yourself. Thanks again for a great video.

Thank you, Stephen! I have the exact same MacBook Air and it remains my favourite laptop ever 👍

This is pretty much my setup at the moment, except I have the last generation Intel I9 Mac. (My company pays for the laptop .. I think I get to upgrade next year). This works fine for me (Xcode development, video editing) but I don't get the battery life benefits that you do.

I know you said you'll know if you need to go higher BUT I had the original 13" M1 Macbook Air after I was challenged to try it. I bought the base spec as I've never successfully stayed in Mac ecosystems and it was cheap. What a laptop! It was awesome. Its portability is unbelievable, battery life was impossible and performance brilliant. Within months I wished I had got the 16 gig RAM and 500GB as I probably would still be using it, instead, I was looking at an upgrade. Well, I managed to get the 14" Macbook pro base model and sell the Macbook Air. The Macbook pro is an excellent upgrade and I see the value BUT The air is so much lighter and portable and I never worried about the $1500AUD Air, I do worry about the $3000AUD Macbook Pro. I could see myself considering a downgrade to a new M2 Air in the future. That is a big win for Apple Silicon.

I bought the exact same laptop a couple of months ago with 32 GB Ram, 32 GPU cores and 1 TB SSD. For my current purposes (photography, 4K video editing), it has tremendous performance that will certainly be sufficient for the next 5 or more years. It replaces an old Mac Pro from 2010. I don't regret a penny from this great machine. You might want to mention how fantastic the XDR display is, so you can definitely edit photos or videos on the go in true color. I run my laptop off a Sony 55" 4K TV or an Eizo CG monitor. Mine was a new demo unit for which I paid just € 3,300.- instead of € 3,850,- 😁

I have 16 M1 Max, 64 ram and 1tb ssd. I’m pro photographer and use it strictly for photography. But I have problems with it. When I open Psb files, it takes between 2 and 3 minutes for them to open in Ps. Psd files generally are also not snappy, it takes between 10 and 20 seconds for them to open. In addition to that, when I’m in the process of saving the open file, and then in the same time go to create a smart object, a dialog box pops up with the forward moving progress bar, it takes about 4-5 minutes each time for this to finish. Can’t to anything but wait. I tried resetting and redownloading photoshop. But didn’t help.

I got tempted into getting the 14” base MBP and it’s an amazing device but it’s very heavy for a laptop IMO… I only got it as I had an extremely good deal on it, it’s over powered for my needs though in all honesty, the standard M1 is perfect for me, so I may look at selling and getting the new MacBook Air when it launches later this year… not sure yet though.

I'm currently 15 and my parents helped me buy a macbook pro m1 13" (they paid half). And well I want to upgrade to the m1 pro 16". Do you think it's worth it, my main reason is because of the more powerful cpu and gpu also because I prefer a bigger screen.

The problem with the sleeve I have for heavy use is it has a outside zip up pocket which Inside the pocket I put the Apple charger and cable, backup hard drive and cable, pens, etc and keep it zipped shut. When zipping closed it is always a challenge as the extra gear in the pocket creates pressure on the zipper both the pocket zipper and the main sleeve zipper. This extra gear crammed inside the pocket has slowly, we are talking 7 years of slowness, bent the laptop. My new 16 inch Max will go in the same type sleeve this time without the charger because of all day battery life and without the external hard drive since this new one has a 2tb drive .

Yeah, 16GB of RAM SEEMS like plenty, but not if you do a lot of multi-tasking like I do. Generally, when I'm editing 1080p video on Final Cut, I also run Pixelmator Pro, Music (play some tunes), and Audacity for cleaning up audio. Running all those programs simultaneously definitely limits the amount of video frames I can edit in Pixelmator Pro. For instance, I convert multiple video frames to JPEG format to clean-up my green screen backgrounds and the app will cease functioning. So, I close some of the frames running in Pixelmator Pro, then the program resumes functioning. Very annoying!

@@MarkEllisReviews People are going to start asking you for your workout routine. 💪

Your waveforms not loading in (having to pause playback and wait) is most likely due to the RAM, this data is stored in RAM and seeing as you edit 4k video that's a lot of data whilst editting. Marques (MKBHD) said he didn't have this issue with his Mac Pro which had 768GB of RAM (Reference video: M1 Max MacBook Pro Review: Truly Next Level!)

If it’s RAM related, it’s dreadfully inefficient code, mate. We’re not asking it to transport us to the moon here - it just needs to redraw the waveform (like Premiere does) 😉

what about battery life unplugged?

Do you ever wish you spent the additional $400 and maxed out the RAM? I feel like the "in for a penny, in for a pound" mindset is easy to adopt here... personally went with the 32Gb M1 max with 2TB, and haven't had any issues yet but cant help but feel a little anxious that 64Gb could be nice in the future, or even for "resellability."

iMovie has the same problem on redrawing clips.

Mark I have no need for a MacBook Pro no question or comment about it at all! I just want to know how many takes that shot took😂😂😂!!!!

If you want to just plug in 1 cable for all your IO you can just buy a $50 monitor and a $100 usb c hub with a removable 3ft thunderbolt cable. Much cheaper.

I agree, with carbon fiber as material it would be way lighter. And still solid enough. Like Lenovo ThinkPad Carbon notebooks.

Ooh. A carbon fibre MacBook Pro.

is it still the king bro?

The problem with the basic 16 inch macbook m1 Pro is that it only comes with 16 gb ram and 512 gb ssd. If you want to upgrade it to 32 gb ram and 1 TB ssd then you will almost spend the same as you would spend on an m1 max macbook

The MacBook Pro is definitely a purchase for a longer period of time and its performance is insane. I now own a Mac Studio and after a week I am completely flashed. The device will definitely be with me for the next few years. I have always used Macs and MacBooks for more than 5 years.

You are a great guy, Mark. Will be supporting Ukraine. ❤️

I’d dump M1 Pro 16GB/1TB MBP 16” in heartbeat if MBA 15” released. Bought only for screen size. Don’t need power. Honestly, ready to dump 24” iMac. Stupidly caught up in 2021 KZread hysteria!

new M1 MacBook Pros - "16" and 14" tonight. The body is squared off and thicker than my 2019 MBP. WHAT??? And it feels cheap, not like the former Airplane Grade aluminum. You knock on it and it feels hollow-ish. And the bottom feet are harder than previous models, almost like a cell phone case that is hard plastic and sort of hits the desk too hard. I am pretty disappointed. Why, Apple, Why?

You don't transport your laptop between your arm and your body like you do in 4:40.... When you need to take your laptop out with you, you either use a suitcase or a backpack, scenario in which you barely feel the weight of the laptop. Peoeple who say this laptop is heavy to transport are people who never ever even tried to do it.

So you can apply that to every single business (no matter the size of said business) on the planet, can you? Please explain how - I’m fascinated.

Macs are "poorly" designed to have limited lifespan, so you will be forced to buy another Mac sooner rather than later. Coincidence? Apple's decisions to almost always provide insufficient cooling reflect this, so if you must buy a Mac, buying a lower level device which will produce less heat due to its less powerful processor is the best solution: e.g., all in one Macs are particularly stupid buys. I had someone that I know try to sell me an all-in-one whose gorgeous, outrageously expensive screen turned off after a little time of being on because it was overheating. I established that by pointing a powerful fan at the side of the thing's display, so it would keep it cool. Then, it stayed on longer, but who wants to work with a computer that needs a noisy, powerful fan blowing your hair sideways as it cools the all-in-one Mac. At any rate, the display would turn off after a longer while, so it was useless for working with it all day…

This is the result of the Intel chips, intel was making very hot chips so Apple had hot running devices. The new macs have the best thermal envelopes in the market using way less watts.

Every KZread creator do the same videos, particularly Apple fanboys, where every new apple product outperforms the last by an infinite amount. So far every M1 product will be limited by the performance of the cpu, which is the same regardless of which variant gets bought.

For mobile computing, I just use an older, lightweight MacBook Pro for light-duty work. For my desktop setup, I finally received my M1 Max Mac Studio. I loaded the video project that made my Core i7 Mac mini sputter in the timeline editor. And the Mac Studio was “buttery” smooth previewing that same timeline. Hallelujah!
