Tutorial for you desktop setup please!!

Today is my first day with my MacBook Pro M3 Pro and I am so happy with it. I have nothing to complain about. The New macOS Sonoma is pre instaled but only the Version 14.1.

Enjoyed your review as usual! MacBook Pro M3 in space black looks really sleek and a stunner! BMW M3

Ciao Andrew, which version of M2 PRO exctly have you bought? Which configuration (there 2) and which upgrades? Thanks!

Nice review~ ! I personally bought the M3 Max 14 inch base model, only had it a few days though, but so far really happy with it. Moving from an m1 air to this new laptop , the improvements are very impressive.

hey andrew i was wondering more about your productivity system and how you manage your time, do you timeblock or prioritise etc… would love to hear your thoughts!

your style is so enjoyable

Need advice! Hoping to pull the trigger on an M3 Pro or an M3 Max tomorrow. I don't edit much video anymore, significant image editing (full Adobe CC Suite & Acrobat use), and I'd like to have this computer for the next 5 years or so. Is the M3 Max worth it or unnecessary?

Your tests are interesting and I really think exports are the main thing that you can notice a difference, because I have an M2 Max 16 inch and I was just able to borrow my friends, M3 Pro, which was great. However, for me, I actually couldn’t tell a functional difference between the two. I run, vivid for my display to increase the brightness, which is basically all that Apple did, it’s the same panel, and the use software to increase the brightness just like I do. However, I was creating a multi layer 4K project in Davinci resolve and I also had to tweak a CapCut project. Both used Sony Alpha cameras 4K 10 bit, maybe seven or eight layers with de-noise filters, and a lot of color grading. Just for fun, on my own M2 Max 32, I decided to export both at the same time. This test done while connected to three different 32 inch 4K panels. I was able to export both simultaneously, have Photoshop open with a flawless experience, creating thumbnails for both videos and a full screen, KZread video playing at 4K with no lag in no stuttering whatsoever. So let’s be honest, each generation is better but it’s to the point where they are all so freaking amazing. You really have to squint your eyes and focus on a few seconds of export time these days. Rather than just contributing to the Apple marketing machine, it would be nice if you were a little bit more balanced about, how great the M1 and M2 are even today. For some tasks, because my machine has more graphics course than the new comparable M3 version, the M2 is faster. This is especially true in the pro models, which received a big downgrade this year for the M3. also, thermally the 14 inch M3 is also a lot less of an upgrade than the 16 inch M2. so it’s cool, you’re excited, but it would be a little bit cooler if you were a little bit more realistic, and balanced, instead of so breathlessly stepping in line with the marketing your hearing

@DaveDFX

6 ай бұрын

Yes a lot of hype. You gotta chose the right hardware and software to maximize M3. This time you really have to look deeper. Example. m1-3 Pros have only one Media Encoding Engine. M1-3 Max have 2 so double the speed for hardware encoding. ONLY the encoding part. All 3 generation is pretty much the same except for the memory bandwidth of the model you choose. Negligible performance gains for encoding. If you use tracking, filters and effects, those will use CPU/GPU depending on the software. Try rendering a benchmark using software only or a codec that is not supported by Videotoolbox, the hardware encoder. You will see the difference in raw compute. M3max really shines in GPU tasks so if your application uses GPU, then it will fly. Hardware raytracing is used in apps like Blender. It's gonna take some time for software to optimize to the new hardware. So if you do 3d, Ai, games, those will benefit with M3 series. If you do none of that, then you are throwing money away.

Great video!

Hey @Andrewethanzeng do you prefer the 16inch MacBook Pro or the 14inch?

I needed smaller so I went from a 16" M1 Max 10/24/32 to a 14" M3 Pro 12/18/18 and it hasn't missed a beat. Use it for photo and video editing and multi tasking. If anything it seems a little quicker overall. Enjoying the Space Black and smaller size.

Hi, Your video has been a pleasant surprise, being different from the other reviews of M3 Pro, where mostly all have compared it to M2 Pro an how M2 is better in many ways....while you have compared to a M2 Max with experiential data about M3 Pro being better. I have ordered M3 Pro Silver, as I cannot stand any smudges and also port discolouration, which is going to happen..... Upgrading from the Air 2017, this was keeping in ind the next 3 years.... as I plan to stream / do basic video editing fro KZread.... Thanks for the review. Cheers !

All the best in New Year !!!

I would upgrade, but my M1 Macbook Air still does everything I need it to do, even 4K video editing. Until Apple gives us 512gb-1tb as a minimum for the base model, I won't pay to upgrade.

4:02 you are using two different versions of geekbech (5 and 6), those scores can't be compared, especially for single core, because they change baseline CPU for 1000 points

My MBA m1 is aging well so I am not thinking to upgrade anytime soon as I figure I stay home and not travel as much anymore. Is it worth spending for an M3/M3 Pro and just docking it or would an iMac setup make more sense price and capacity wise?

Hi! Love the video and all the info! Just subscribed! Keep up the good work! So the M3 Pro chip is that good/powerful for 4K video editing? No need for a M3 Max chip? As some other tech reviewers said that the M3 Max is a must for video editing and they wouldn't choose the M3 Pro as, yes, it's good enough but not really, really powerful. I will probably get a laptop in the future (first laptop ever) and I'm thinking to order an Apple Macbook Pro with the M3 Pro chip (as I am sick of the crashes of the softwares and all the bugs that are on Windows) . The configuration for the Macbook Pro with the M3 Pro chip is this: 12 cores CPU and 18 cores GPU. Do you think that those 18GB of unified memory are enough or should I upgrade for a 36GB unified memory. Also do you think that 1TB of storage is more than enough? You know for having there your apps/softwares that you use for video/photo editing, the copyright free music library that we content creators use for our KZread videos. I am a Windows user and I have never used Apple product with MacOS in my life. I know that on Windows computers/laptops the OS bites from the storage amount and takes a few hundred GBs and there are also the updates for it that are taking space as well. Would like to get the Macbook Pro M3 Pro with Final Cut Pro pre-installed. P.S.: I am from Europe but I think that the specs are the same worldwide anyway so that doesn't matter. I would like for the laptop to be my main power house for content creation (4K video editing and maybe some photo editing as well) for the next years. 🙂

The only thing that I still struggle with sometimes, is the difference between using the ctrl key amd the mac key. Laptop I still use a Macbook though. And tablet & phone also.

Here's a linear regression model of the prices of the 10 Refurbished 16-inch MacBook Pros with Apple M2 Max chips currently on Apple's website: Price (CAD$) = 2209.7 + 23.27*GPU cores + 12.723*Memory (GB) + 335.2*Storage (TB). Based on this I calculated the additional cost of buying a new M3 Pro with equivalent GPUs/RAM/Storage as CAD$541 to $627.

Comparing the M3 Max range to the equivalent M2 Max the difference is $862 to $1,185 (depending on the spec).

@user-gd1lp5uz7k well I’m going to start my journey for full stack so just wanted to really know which model to truly get rather then spending so much more on a machine that I won’t really use the full power of the upgraded models.

Hi anyone 😅 I need help regarding a choice. So if anyone wants to help me out I will gladly appreciate it. Hears the deal I am currently in between waiting for the upcoming iPad Pro or buying this MacBook. My needs are towards both my return to uni (majoring in accounting) and my business which is photography/Videos. When it comes to devices I own I have a pc capable of handling all my editorial needs such as Lightroom and premiere pro. And usually I would edit in my house, but seeing as I’m on the road more often what it be better to use an iPad or a MacBook in this scenario?again if anyone read this thank you and If you can place yourself in my shoes which would you choose to purchase?

Gonna wait until M4 Max

the battery on the macbook pro M3 sucks. i watch a video in youtube and i can literally see the battery percentage dropping

Not true with Logic / Music production user. M2 Pro holds more tracks than M3 Pro

Title misleading. It’s M3 Pro. Title implies MacBook Pro with base m3.

To spend something 3-4k just to game on the mac much bigger problem then just not having enough games. Mac is too expensive to be a gaming platform when windows offers much cheaper alternative

I wish Apple stopped speaking about gaming capabilities until Warzone and/or Fortnite are released to Mac OS. Apple needs these type of gamers to convince other developers to release their games to Mac OS.

You completely did not make clear whether the chip you got was the M3, or the M3 Pro chip, or what configuration that you were comparing to your M2 Max. 👎

literally said m3 pro in several spots dumb dumb

I m suprised that no youtuber is mentioning about battery life. PAID VIDEO???

Don’t know why you’d want a pure black Mac then it was just look like a shite Lenovo 🤮

Hey Andrew! Are you considering selling the old one? I am a Nigerian and it's difficult to get in my country. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Going from M2 Max to M3 pro makes zero sense from a cost or performance perspective. Also makes no sense to have an Air and pro laptop. The weight difference is a matter of ounces and the screen on the air compared to the pro is not even close to the quality.

u think the pro has better screens? I have an m1 air and was thinking of trading in and upgrading to m3 pro (not pro chip) w/16gb ram

@@tevindowney all the M3’s have the same screen and it’s a big difference from the air. The higher refresh is easier on the eyes along with the hdr and 1000 nots brightness for hdr. Get the pro chip, it’s worth it.
