One idea for the future: in this video you concentrated on the creative workflows, which makes sense, as it is what you are doing the most. But I think it would add a lot to have developer perspective as well, and LMG has a unique opportunity as it has almost-in-house development team working on Floatplane. Maybe do some tests building Floatplane app, running it in emulator etc. This could also promote Floatplane at the same time. Good video nevertheless!

I wanted silver because of nostalgia but after seeing it in person, it’s not quite the same shade I remember the 2007 MacBook Pro being, which was the Mac that finally got me to switch teams. So space gray is fine with me.

Remember when the value sweet spot was around the mid range models? And now this base model is too powerful for any normal person. I love that the Macbook Pro is truly a professional tool now. I'm sure the only features most actually care about (screen, ports maybe, magsafe) will trickle down anyway.

100% agree that silver is the color going forward. That contrast with the blacked out keyboard 😮‍💨

Doing so much more teleconferencing, and spending so much more time looking at a display than 2 years ago, the 14” MBP is worth it for me based on the screen, webcam, microphone, and speaker upgrades. And the ports make it easier to hook up to my desk setup.

Why do reviewers always focus so much on video editing? Do they not reaalize that 95%+ of their viewers don’t buy laptops for video editing? Why not talk about coding or engineering?

I didn't trust the AI first, but it fits, after a few month of training and nearly a year of use, it's spot on and 99% health. Stays at 80% charge most of the time, but knows when it gets busy. Magic.

You guys got every version of the new MacBook Pro so I sure hope we get to see a comparison of all configurations

probably the one video that i needed

Jonathan is great. I love the way he adds commas into his sentences like a boss. He’s right up there with Christopher Walken.

I got a base model upgraded to 16 GB of RAM (I feel like at this point 16 should be the minimum on laptops) and so far it’s been phenomenal for my casual video editing. I haven’t been pushing it too hard, but cutting a gameplay video with a handful of edits and lite effects in DaVinci barely eats at the battery, only got the machine to a slightly warm (but still comfortable) temperature, and was very smooth the whole way through. Some things got it to snag a bit, but compared to an intel MacBook it’s a dream.

I'm a product owner at a software company. I think the base model will be a big upgrade from my 2020 i5 16 GB MacBook Pro. I'm going to wait a few months to gather up the cash for it, but ultimately I will do it. This was a great video, I'm really enjoying Mac Address. Also, the notch on the outro comments was a nice touch.

I opted for the extra $300 full M1 Pro option for my video editing machine. I wanted the smaller form factor than the 16" and since I'm still using a lot of Adobe products which are "Apple Silicon Native," but clearly not really functioning properly, the extra CPU/GPU horsepower seemed worth the extra cash to get through this transitional period. I'm also hoping the extra $300 in upgrades will give me an additional year or two of functionality before I have to upgrade...

Ive been waiting for this video for some time

I got the 14" 10-16-16-Core M1 Pro with 512 GB. I saved on storage because a 2 TB NVME SSD and USB C enclosure is only ~200-300$ (whereas Apple charges 600$). I have noticed though that the external SSD is about 20% slower on the MacBook Pro 14" (700 MB/s) than on my 2017 iMac 27" (900 MB/s). I have tried all sorts of combinations of ports (internal and on my CalDigit Dock). I even went to an Apple Store and ran benchmarks on all Apple Silicon and a few Intel Macs they had and found that the external SSD speeds on Apple Silicon consistently were 20% slower than on Intel. Weirdly the only combination that worked with full speed on Apple Silicon was using the second Thunderbolt port on the dock. Hopefully this can be fixed in Firmware

Just wanted to say that this was the best MacBook Pro review. Thanks!

I am loving this channel! Great writing, production, and presentation. Even for canadians! OMGJK

I've never thought I would enjoy Mac channel,

Interesting and insightful video! I’ve read some reports that the M1Pro/Max MBPs were originally going to have Face ID, but that this feature was cut quite late in the game due to supply issues with the required hardware. (iPhones had to come first!)

An idea for this channel: can we please have comparisons on everyday tasks too? Multi tasking with a teams meeting, while editing a power point for example. Having multiple apps running in the background, and general connectivity.... the content creator perspective is great, but limited for most people.

2:43 "The thing I am most *Interesteded* in" xD

One thing I'm really intersted to know about it how well these new Macs do with running Blender. This is my main focus and I'm aware that a powerful GPU or very powerful CPU is necessary to ensure that the vieport it updating quickly and renders don't take ages. I'd love to see this tested in Blender or similar programs such as Unreal or Maya - specifically with how the viewport functions with large scenes, rendering large images or animations and physics simulations. Traditionally Macs haven't been great at this stuff but it would be great if this was a portable blender machine. I'm so over having a windows desktop beast.

Just got a base Space Grey open box special from BestBuy. EXTREMELY happy coming from a slowing down Late 2013 retina with the discrete graphics. Keyboard is crisp, display is AMAZING and it lasts two days with light internet browsing and KZread. Was hoping the 2013 would last until 2023 but with supply chains in chaos I upgraded a year early and happy with the purchase.

I got the base model 14", (8-core CPU, 14-core GPU) and they pull hard on anything I could ever throw at them; Unreal machines!

Oh boy have I been waiting for this

Got the base 16 inches inch. Need screenestate. It is not too heavy and it is fantastic. Battery life is good.

Start at base model, go up one storage upgrade from 512GB to 1TB. This one upgrade includes the extra 2 CPU core upgrade and it's really the perfect middle ground to help future proof this laptop in my opinion.

My favorite Apple-centric place to watch videos about everything Apple. Never miss a new video.

I’m a dj and I do quite a bit of audio editing I still went with the base 14, the extra two cores aren’t a big enough jump in performance with the tasks I’ll be running to justify the extra money, the base is already lightning quick compared to the 2017 i7 15 MacBook Pro I’ve been using. Can’t wait to get mine in hand in a couple days.

I love it for dev work. Stays cool through stuff my old Intel i7 MacBook would be burning up doing.

I’ve been thinking and dreaming of buying a MacBook Pro since 2008. Back then, I didn’t even know what I was going to do with it, just wanted it, as Jonathan said, for the “clout”. Now, some 14 years later, I’m a backend and hobbyist mobile developer and about to get this base model MacBook Pro. It’s more than enough and the specs should last me a good 3-5 years if not more. Thanks for this video, MA. Helped clear a few things up for me. 😁

Been using a 2015 i7 MacBook Pro, and upgraded to the M1 Max. The difference is astonishing, and probably would have been so even if I had upgraded to the just the M1 Pro. Really excited the Apple is also now a partner with the Blender Foundation - looking forward to see where that goes!
