So glad it was helpful, Mark

Are you able to borrow/“procure” two »identical« M3 MacBook Pros, one, the base configuration, RAM and SSD; the second with »max« RAM and SSD, and then identically benchmark BOTH? I’m dying to know if the heat that RAM generates and the SCORCHING 🔥 heat SSDs are infamous for causes a performance hit if they are larger in capacity inside the identical chassis. Will the fan in the RAM/SSD-maxxed out MacBook Pro compensate - so no performance hit? Are they louder because of more fan activity? And does lower RAM and SSD capacity in an Apple Silicon MacBook Pro equate to higher performance? If so, how much? Negligible or significant? (I see a lot of video comparisons that say things like, “Well, this one’s a 14-inch not a 16-inch, but that shouldn’t matter in the comparison…” But, as you know, driving a larger, higher resolution display makes SoCs work harder, but at the same time, the larger chassis size allows more room for heat dissipation, so the only apt comparisons are between identical models except for, as I said, RAM and SSD size.) Thanks.

Excellent as usual

Thanks so much for watching. It would be incredibly powerful. For most creators it’s probably a bit of an overkill - and they could use the m3 pro. It would depend on what types of things you’re doing (3D, super challenging footage with a lot of motion graphics, etc.). I hope that’s helpful.

Which macbook to get? if im coming from a legion 5 pro? I got 32 ram 1tb ssd and 4060gpu with 240hz screen ?

Thanks for another great buying guide. If I was starting fresh and a laptop was going to be my only computing device I would opt for the base M2 or M3 Pro MBP 14 with a 27 - 28" 4K monitor and the necessary peripherals (including external storage). This setup would satisfy both my at home and travel needs nicely.

I don't really know what to choose. the MacBook M3 Air 16GB/512GB (€1,760) or the MacBook M3 Pro 8GB/512GB (€1,850). I would mainly use it to edit photos on Photoshop. The better screen quality and the SD card slot on the PRO model is a big advantage for me. Or am I better off with the Air M3 16GB/512GB because it has more RAM? I use a Nikon D750 and edit an average of 500 photos per year. So not a heavy user I guess? My current laptop is an Acer nitro 5 (8GB/512GB) from 2019

It comes down to what you'll use it for and how you view portability vs larger display. I pretty much always have the 16" with me because I have it in a bookbag, but it's still heavier. If you don't need the M3 (pro) I would see how inexpensively I could get the M1 Pro or M2 Pro. Hope this helps.

Should I shell out $200 more and upgrade the 14" MacBook Pro to a 12‑core CPU, 18‑core GPU? My main use case would be to edit RAW photos & high-bitrate 4K videos in Davinci resolve.. I intend to buy the Lumix S5IIX.. so the system need to be able to handle 6k open-gate H265 and Prores recordings with ease..

Keyboards are way better on Windows Laptop compared to Macbook Air. e.g. , HP Spectre 14 2024. Not sure why everyone keeps calling Macbook air keyboard as best. It has very shallow travel keys

Is it worth it to sell a M2 8/256 13inch MacBook Air 13 for 950 dolars (when converted from TRY) put 850 dolars more on top of it and get a M3 16/512 14inch MacBook Pro? The Pro is on sale right now I’m tempted to upgrade but I’m not quite sure.

To be honest that’s not worth +800$ on top of my Air’s resell value. I don’t think 16/512 is necessary for me as storage goes I don’t use the 256gb of storage either so only the 16gb ram could be nice but I didn’t have any trouble with 8gb of ram till this day. If my mac has a buyer than I’ll think but for now to upgrade is not in my board.

So where it gets a little trick is Final Cut Pro. If you're not using massive video files with challenging codecs and you're not doing a ton of motion graphics, the Air will work great. There is no question that the Pro is more powerful - but it's more bulky and bigger - and I try to account for portability. Coming from an iPad Pro - this should be a much better workflow. Make sure that you get enough RAM 16 or 24 and you should be good to go! Hope this is helpful.

I feel you need to advise your channel users, that generally 8gb and 256gb ssds run slower and it’s best to get 16gb ram and 512gb ssds

I think the MacBook Pro is the way to go. More ports on that. So you can plug in more things into that. Well, without carrying around apators. They're all expensive anyway, its a Mac and its Apple. I do video editing, so I use a beefed up M3 Pro processor and outfitted it with 36GB of memory. I kept the storage at the base 512GB of storage, I just use external drives for more storage.

If you need portability for a quick getaway such as: your house is on fire; your wife tells you to get out before she calls the cops; you get a tip the FBI is on way to your house to search/confiscate your stuff; things like this, Mac Mini is the only way to go. My set up allows me to grab the two minis, my keyboard and mouse and split the scene within minutes. At my new location I buy a display, and I am in business again. Ultra portability is the only way to go plus keep a stash of cash.
