@@crunchchannel8788 Hi, I’m at 2 minds about my 16” M1 MBP - though, I did buy a refurbished model (Apple is sooooo expensive in Australia). The screen is great, the speakers are fabulous. The fans have rarely ever engaged at all, and when they did, they were very quiet, hardly noticeable. The webcam is weird, as many people have commented about the new Apple computers - it sort of makes the skin look a bit pasty like an avatar (but I still look super-narrow on the webcam! Not great for me!) But I frankly (and sadly) prefer my old Mid-2013 MacBook Air for actual hands-on work. Was the best computer I’ve ever owned, since 1986. I’m finding with the keys merging with their surrounds on the keyboard (as with all MBPros), I’m getting extra characters popping up on the screen now. (I’m not a great typist anymore). And I’m struggling with this trackpad. I don’t understand the advantage of the deep click (I felt it too much in my shoulder so shut it off), and sometimes the cursor doesn’t disengage and things are sliding all over the screen, with files opening everywhere. I’ve tried all sorts of adjustments, but not happy yet, after almost a year. I do some web design work, and I’m usually a whizz with the trackpad - I don’t like using a mouse (my fingers are faster than my wrist - musician). But this is so hard. I cannot feel any click under my thumb while my fingers are zooming around with the graphics. So I’m pressing too hard…. But not everyone will be using a trackpad like this. So I might try the Genius Bar for help now. But i think it’s just the new design. The M1 iMac I tried first was the same with the magic trackpad (sent back). Mind you, it is blazingly fast at calculating the astronomical positions of over 24,700 asteroids AND sorting them in zodiac order!! So, for my work and research, that’s great. But I am struggling with just how many apps and things I normally use that won’t work on Silicon, including my beloved (2016) 96K Apogee MiC. So, it’s a mixed reaction from me! I hope you’re doing well with yours. Some of my work is just too specialised, I think.

Couldn’t agree more. 🙌🏼 I’ve been rocking my M1 Max MBP for data analytics and have been loving it. Have to use parallels for a couple windows only apps, but besides that I can use it natively for everything else. Oh and I think I used my magsafe charger like twice 😂😂

I really love having more ports on the 14" M1Max MBP. The one thing I would like though is USB-A port for iOS dev. I have zero regrets getting 14" mbp. I rarely use my macbook air.

I am waiting out for the refresh of the MacBook Pro to replace my 2018 15" model but I am torn between dropping down to a 14" or going with the 16". I always found my 15" a bit annoyingly big to sit on the sofa and use so I almost always use it plugged into a monitor up in my study and it works great that way. I do take it with me when I need to but I never just grab it to go work on the sofa or in the garden like I used to when I had a 13" Windows laptop. So I like the idea of the 14" model but part of me makes me think I will regret it if I get that when my normal use is at a desk where the size doesn't matter much 🤔

Great review! The focus is on what really matters. It would be great if you could review the m2 MacBook Air too on similar grounds.

I went with an M1 Pro 14 inch simply for traveling and fitting within a plane seat. I extensively use external monitors so the added screen real estate was less an issue.

On my M1 MacBook Air (bought it the day it got available) I have 145 cycles on the battery and 94% maximum capacity . I can feel that it doesn’t last as long as in the first months , but it’s definately better then any other x86 laptop

I got mine the first weekend they were available. Cycle count 50. Condition Normal. Maximum capacity 100%. Only dock I’ve plugged mine into was studio monitor. Otherwise, it goes on the 140w MagSafe.

Due to my work I'm surrounded by 30+ Apple Silicon Macbooks and I've noticed a pattern of increased battery loss for colleagues using high wattage chargers. Users charging with the 67w charger put a lot less stress on their batteries than those using the 140w or 96w chargers with a similar cycle count it would seem. As always users should try to limit the amount of time the batteries spend at 100% too, I use Al Dente to limit the battery to 75% charge and tell the software to charge to full if I know I'm going to be out all day. Although with the ARM chipsets you still get insane usage time out of a 75% charge.

I *love* the concept of this video, thanks.

Thanks for sharing your battery cycles and health. Most reviewers don’t say anything about this stuff and I’m glad you did. Mine has a similar trend with yours, around 60 cycles with 90% health for around 6 months or so. It does feel very uncomfortable to think about but thankfully the battery performance is still very good and can go for hours (but not as far as it did on day one, of course)

Regarding the battery: If you keep this thing plugged in and charged to 100% all the time, the battery will die rather quickly. Install something like aldente and keep it to max 80%, and only charge it to 100 if you really need it. It's common knowledge. Apple "sort of" does this already with optimized charging turned on. All EVs charge to 80% max by default, requiring an override to go to 100%, many even showing a warning saying something like "don't do this, unless you need the range".

154 cycles at 97% capacity. I've had it for almost 90 days but I'm a power user. I run Ubuntu on parallels, docker, xcode simulator, android studio, slack, git kraken and vs code. I live on an island so the climate is pretty hot but I try to keep the pc cool. Heat is the main cause of battery degradation and also constantly keeping the charge above 80%. I try to unplug around 75% and start charging around 20%, I also want to try keeping it plugged in with software that will keep the charge percentage around 50%

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if your other M1 Macbook Pro(s) has the same issue with its battery max capacity like this one (down to 87 % after just a year)?

Great video ! I have the M1 Pro loaded and love it (2023) 14 inch as it’s easy to travel with .

I've seen similar results. I use my laptop as desktop 99% of the time, plugged in for charging+dislay. One cable, USBC for both sure is convenience, but I've noticed that reduces battery capacity faster than when I use just HDMI. 🤔

Hey @AZisk using the MagSafe adapter will prolong the health of your MacBook battery. I noticed this with some other users who only use USB-C vs MagSafe. Might be worth considering to use that MagSafe adapter, regardless of which MacBook is used.

@Alex I would try calibrating the battery. Not sure what Apple's official stance is but I often run the batteries down to 0 and charge them back up, with the computer running so that it can learn the upper and lower limits of the battery. I see this with PC laptops and that usually fixes it.

I just recently bought macbook m1 pro for my job it was amazing when compiling big codebase android native and flutter project without worrying about battery when it's unplugged. The performance is crushed my other laptop which is a windows laptop with ryzen 7 5800h and rtx 3060 in it.

Try to reboot your laptop with the button and check the battery health again, sometimes that indicator can be tricky

Frequent charging-s between 80-100% take a major toll on Lithium-Ion batteries. It's the topping off that they don't like and it's where they get forced and heat up. This happens to everyone that mostly keeps their laptops docked in. You can either limit the charging to 75-80% when plugged in, or plug out when reaching 80%. So far I haven't found a charge % limiter on Macbooks. Dells have it in the BIOS and Win tools.

@mikelovesbacon

You can use Al Dente to limit charge

I am not completely sure what is going on with your charge cycles vs max. capacity! I have a 14" MBP bought on release last year and a similar use case (work from home software dev with occasional coffee shop working) - I have 79 charge cycles but I am still 100% capacity. The only difference I can think of is that I use the bundled magsafe charger - could it be that on periods of peak load your dock passthrough charger can't provide enough power and you start to use the battery a little?

5:57 that's because batteries HATE being at 80+% or below 20%, I suggest AlDente (open source) with it you can cap how much % should be charged. I set mine to 50% and my battery sits at 42 cycles and 99% capacity after a year.

My 16" MBP M1 Pro is also almost 1 year old and have like 96% battery capacity BUT I've almost never moved it from my desk. Also worth to mention, my MagSafe cable and power brick are not even unpacked ;)

With battery health management on the battery capacity can show lower. If you turn it off and go back and check it should hopefully be 100%.

I have the exact same situation with magsafe. I've hardly ever used it, on the rare occasion that I need to charge it while I'm on the go I use the usb c port. Most of the time it remains charged as I use it at home plugged into my monitor most of the time.

Do you use al dente for the battery management or the built-in management of macos? I'm a new mac user, still don't know some dos and donts

I got the base 14” and it is the best purchase I had in tech years

Love the channel! What’s the advantage to having the ‘auto-on, auto-wake’ feature when I lift the lid? I’d prefer to turn on my MacBook Pro myself, manually. How can I disable this ‘auto-wake’ feature?

I think the new(ish) feature for optimized charging only pauses the charging at 80% for a little bit. It will eventually charge to 100%. This whole feature is meant to analyse your 'charging habits' and then guess when you usually unplug it and than just pause the charging at 80% for a while. My macbook is not even a year old and I just noticed its 96% already... my older macbook battery did definitely not degrade that fast...

@mikelovesbacon

If you're using it plugged in most of the time, or just have weird habits that Optimised Battery Charging can't learn, you can turn it off and use Al Dente for manual control. I limit charge to 75% unless I know I'm going to need more.

Cool video. One small critique I have is that ‘pop’ sound accompanying the logos etc being so loud that I’m _compelled_ instinctively to look for what’s been added; it’s just more of an audio cue than it perhaps needs to be, moreover the same sound again as it disappears seems a tad like overkill… thanks all the same.

In terms of the battery. Your are right, it's because of 100% battery charging (and using it plugged-in). I'm using my MacbookPro 16 M1 Max for about 5 months and my capacity 100% (13 cycle counts). But I'm using AlDente Free 1.19 (you can take a Pro version as well). I have added charge limit to 50%, so once 50% reached - charging stopped and I'm using macbook via adapter. 30-50% of charging is ideal for li-ion battery. In cases when I need to use macbook unplugged, I just charging it to 100% and using it without power adapter.

Now ask yourself why does Apple not allow for setting the max charging limit natively - answer because they know you'll have to pay them to replace the battery or get a new laptop. I had an MBP where I had to replace battery 3 times during its 6year lifetime, due to it getting swollen. I kept it plugged in all the time sitting at 100% charge and it used to run a couple of 4k screens - meaning a lot of heat build up. It was cheaper to replace the battery but the cost was still outrageous since these batteries are glued in.

how many ram you have on it?

There is an app called Aldente in which you can keep the Mac from charging over a set percentage, lets say 70. This not only prevents the batter from topping up all the time when plugged in but also makes the battery not sit at a 100% charge all the time what is not good for your battery.

these things are insane, but they come with some drawbacks too. for example, magsafe doesn't always work when plugged in and the battery health is dying faster than my mental health, and the lower part of the chassis is very poorly made. But they're still very solid.

The battery thing is huge. My Intel MacBook Pro was four years old and would die in two hours of light to moderate use

I am tempted to get a M2 Macbook air for travel, I travelled with my 14 inch max all over Europe and it was great but with only a backpack I feel every gram of weight counts and If I could have lesser weight that would be awesome.

People rarely realise that but keeping your laptop constantly plugged can and does degrade your battery faster than if it was charded outside usage hours.

Absolutely, hands down, the best laptop I've ever used (and I've owned a bunch of other laptops over the last 20 years)

I have 88 cycles on 14inch 2021 and still 97% of capacity, charging to 100% and using on battery till few percent left

Did you try UTM? It is not virtualization like Parallel, it is processor emulation, so you can emulate an Intel processor to run a windows OS. I am curious if it is slow or not on your MBP 16 M1, a very good machine after all.

Thumbnail of Python one is hilarious, i love it 🤣

M1 Max 16” inch is a fantastic machine, just prohibitively expensive for the top tier. A decade ago I got the top line 15” MacBook Pro for $2,600 (AUD). Now it’s more than double that. So I’m incredibly fortunate and privileged to have this machine. Fantastic screen, cleans easily with a normal tissue and eyeglass cleaner (apple’s water + microfibre cloth recommendation is a trap!), the speakers are just nuts good… as I own a stereo setup using 50 year old JBL studio monitors, and several nice headphones, this laptop does something unnaturally beautiful with its speakers. Processing power is nuts good, I just don’t have to think about juggling tasks in any order, just do whatever and have it all open! So, if you buy the top tier MacBook M1Max, you get supreme power and amenities in such a small package (big screen, sure, but the machine feels tiny once you realise all it can do. I enjoyed this review, really honest and sincere. I love having MagSafe but have failed to utilise it unless traveling outside my desk. Bear in mind, only very good quality C hubs / T4 hubs can power the M1Max 16” as efficiently as MagSafe 140w. And I find throttling an issue on lower battery levels using 90w USB C charge hub. MagSafe allows optimal performance, and you can still use the hub function of USB C and take advantage of auxiliary peripheral power. Smart design. USB C is also a universal solution, super handy if you lose your charger on the road and need to pickup a generic USB C charger.

LG Ultrafine charging is killing your battery. Many people described it and I noticed it when I came back to my MacBook after a day and it was all warm, i.e. charging! No fix till now, other than when you plug in the original brick, it will automatically switch to that and the problem disappears. Beats the fun of docking though.

Interesting that you called out the power capacity...after 130 cycles I'm at 92% which surprised me. I wonder whether it's because I'm keeping it constantly charged when in use and empty whenever it's not

the biggest thing that keeps me from getting the 16 inch is the track pad is way to big and gets in the way alot and no number pad on the keyboard is a huge downer

After going through multiple stupid Apple chargers I decided to charge my MacBook Air 11” 2012 with a uGreen GaN X 3 port charger with a USB c MagSafe adapter. That was a mistake. I used it without a problem for a month until I decided to charge my phone at the same time. Then the laptop charging icon started toggling fast and a minute or two later it died.

I found out that under kind it's listed as intel, and at times I've seen it has high as utilizing 62% of my CPU. That explains a lot.

A factor to battery life can also be your dj hardware if it uses power over USB! I use my mbp for music production and using audio interfaces or midi keyboards that don't have their own power supply easily cuts the battery life in half or less.

@@meislit9217 I use Rane 12 and pioneer S11 mixer. They all have their own power supply. While I’m prepping with just Serato open, I notice to fast battery draw.

I use MagSafe all the time on my 16” M1 Max. Have always loved it, I don’t have to worry about the dog pulling the laptop off a table or desk. But each persons situation will be different. Got to say love how long I can work on battery power and it doesn’t get hot., amazing.

I have the exact same battery health on my 2-year-old MBA M1 with about 300 battery cycles. There's definitely something wrong over there...

why does the battery charge > 80%? shouldn't it be limited to 80% charge when plugged into the power socket>

This is the type of video I've always believed should be made.. I have an MacBookPro that should be 11 years old by now. It is perfect.. I just had to change his HDD to an SSD some years ago.. But it literally runs flawless.. My current work machine is an high-spec Dell XPS15 I bought 3 years ago... Oh boy Dell computers do not age well.. It already had 2 battery changes, touch pad stopped clicking properly and the 4k Screen is a mess... The panel has that manufacturing problem where looks like there are clouds overlaying the monitor image.. It started just in the bottom and now the whole screen is bad.. Not mentioning a dead pixel (which is fine). I called Dell and they only replace the screen with refurbished parts... I was very surprised with the built quality and the parts situation from Dell.

Congrats on 100k

Back to your experience on your flight with the 16 inch… Would you say that it would still be great to have if you’re strictly bringing it to watch downloaded movies during a 10 hour flight? I need a bigger screen for me and my girlfriend to watch 😅

I have a mid 2010 Imac 27 the only reason that I m replacing with a MBp 16 is because the software is not longer update.

Dude I killed my Macbook pro 15 inch M1 pro within the first month. The machine was working great so I wanted to give it a little of stress to see how it would behave. I downloaded the Heaven benchmark software and I open and ran 10 tests at the same time with the maximum settings. I ran the stress test for an hour maybe, next morning the motherboard was fried. People if you do hardcore shit you better purchase apple care.

Nice vid! macOS Ventura is out now

the maximum battery capacity looks like a bug to me. my m1 Mac Air got down to 87% a year back with about 112 cycles. it is still at 87% now with 210 cycles.
