That was the best comparison/review of these MacBooks that I ever seen! It's so helpful for us students! Keep up the good work Noah!

As a COMM student, upgrading from a 2015 MB Pro Retina, even the new baseline 14" is a breath of fresh air. At least in my area of study, we do a lot of media/content creation, and we use Adobe CC software all the time. It's to the point where I look forward to excuses for using it (finals definitely have given me more than enough). Would definitely recommend this to students in similar majors, thanks for the vid!

I really like your reviews from a student's perspective. This was a great review and I appreciate you comparing it to the Air and giving specifics of who this laptop is for in terms of majors and use. That 8 versus 10 people analogy for CPU was brilliant 👏🏽

I really like the effort you put into this video! And i appreciate the fact that you made this review from an average student’s perspective. There aren’t a lot of reviews like that out there at this time.

The base model 16" has compared to base model 14": Small advantages: - higher resolution - longer battery life - larger trackpad - 2 more CPU and GPU cores - better cooling system - bigger speakers - more powerful charger Big advantage: - Larger display will make multitasking easier, watching movies or playing games feel more immersive. Also often less bad for your posture compared to looking at a smaller screen. People could use an external monitor, but because of the beautiful new display at 120hz you're now more likely to not use some 1080p 60hz external monitor. Buying a new external monitor with similar display quality can also be costly. Disadvantages: - $500 more expensive - Carrying a bigger and heavier device IMO: the 16" is a better deal for most people who can afford to pay $500 more and can carry a bigger device. The physical size might make it look less optimal for traveling with however it has a larger trackpad/display/speakers/battery which reduces the need for external mouse/display/speakers or battery charger. A better cooling system will also make less noise, so you wont bother people around you during heavy workload.

I think if you have a 14” and 16” with identical specs the difference is $200. I am assuming you are comparing base models here for the $500 difference.

Meanwhile the 4 working people in my mid 2012 MacBook Pro 15 inch are ready to retire 😅 ordered a 16 inch one with the Max chip. I love the display size. I’m an engineering student and work for my dad. I’m using it for all things, education, design, video production etc. the Max is probably overkill for me, but I do love to use my gear for a longer time until they broke or can’t perform anymore. I’ve spent a lot of money for it, but I used my current MacBook for nearly 10 years.I had a 4 year break due to my medical condition and I hope the new year will start great with an awesome MacBook to get back to work. Great Video, love your content !

My 14 inch will arrive in a few days! I upgraded to the 10 core M1 Pro model with 1TB SSD. I am upgrading from a base model 15 inch 2017 MacBook Pro. So excited!

watching on my new m1 pro 14inch Macbook pro in space grey. I am loving working on this for my studies. Got it as in September 2021 I am off to film school and need an easily portable laptop for daily commuting and one that will handle 4k editing. I have the standard 16gb ram which is working great for me, I am currently on chrome with 29 tabs open and this power house is juggling them all perfectly. It is the fastest machine I have owned and worth the 2 grand imo. I am able to do everything on it and working is just more enjoyable as a result. Great review, and as a fellow student, I agree with you totally. You have just gained a new sub!

The 14 Inch + iPad Air with Universal control as note taking device and second monitor ist an insane setup as well. A bit more expensive than the upgrade to the 16 Inch, but way more versatile.

It’s a good day when you post!

I absolutely agree that the M1 air is almost ideal for students, great battery life, actually great display, amazing keyboard and a great processor that can do full hd(4K to an extent) video editing, i believe decent 3d rendering and the occasional gaming. Ima buy it or the m2 one, next year for college

First time here and this was exactly the video I was looking for! I've thoroughly enjoyed this video.

Omg, I found Ross student here while searching around for m2 air review. Cool! I like your review! Good luck!

Great review, I upgraded my 2012 MacBook Air to the 2021 16” MacBook Pro for the screen size :)

11:34 not many Android camaras could get such a seamless switch from wide to ultra wide…🥰 My take on Macbooks right now: the new 14 and 16“ are cool. Most people should definitely get the M1 Air though😅

Really a great, solid, cut and clear review 👏 👌 👍

Man, the comedy here is on point Noah 😂😂

The video quality looks great.. Great job

the only thing kinda stopping me from getting the 14 inch is because its thick!! cant imagine having to haul it with me everyday. but the screen is soooo gorgeous.

Can't decide whether I should wait for M2 MacBook Air or MacBook Pro 14". Battery life and portability are important to me, but the great sound system and 120Hz display are very appealing as well. Would be nice if you can compare battery life between MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 14" for daily use (like web browsing, Zoom and KZread/Twitch watching).

13 Pro has the best battery life but $1700 for a basically a 5 year old laptop with a new chip isn’t gonna cut it (MBP 13 with equal 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM) - the Pro 14 offers a way better screen with miniLED and 120hz, a 1080p webcam, modern design, better speakers and more ports - feels like a more well rounded package. I’d rather invest in the 14 Pro and keep it for the long haul.

i opted for 14 inch mac pro just for 120 hz and yeah... it was insanely powerful, but it was also a drag to carry around anywhere or even hold in my hands. i just traded it today for a 16gb 512gb m2 air and im really happy at how portable and "fun-sized" my new mac is. 120hz is only good on ipad & iphone anyway- by the time apple correctly optimizes it for macs, it will probably be available on airs. (lets hope 🙏)

I know I've said this before, and I'm gonna say it again. I've really enjoyed watching you grow your channel it the past year or so.

Solid video 🔥 🔥

The best review for students I’ve seen so far !!!

Will 16 RAM be enough for 4-5 years for normal usage without video editing or rendering at all? Also , my friend is using Macbook Pro 14 Base Model and when he opens 5-6 tabs or 7 in safari and nothing running in the background RAM usage is between 10-12.30 GB. Do you think it is normal or Macbook works like this .

Actually I have used ultrabook for a year and have got spectacles. I am worried if 16 inch would be too big for college. Could you please make a 16 inch 2021 student review. Probably how long it lasts, How much space it takes etc. BTW would you suggest me 14 or 16. Sorry for the long message 👍👍👍

Thanks for a great video!

I’m going to be a freshman for spring 2022 focusing in computer science, would this be a good choice or should get a pc gaming laptops ?

How is the battery of the 14inch? Is the 16” too big for backpacks?

Great video thanks 😃

ok but i need that desktop image, anybody knows where to get it???

Can somebody please link the wallpaper he’s using in this?

just upgraded from the 2020 13.3 to the 16 inch today and am worried it is gonna be too big, might go back to the 13.3 as it is basically new still so it was unnecessary...

Please someone tell me Can I use microsoft Excel in this without subscription

Couple of notes air is 0.5 lb lighter and almost half price of of pro. The difference between 13.3 and 14” screen isn’t that big compared to 16” and 13” but 16” weigh a noticeable amount and required a bigger backpack. If I am moving around a lot between classes I wouldn’t want to lug the 16”. Also 13.3 inch is very usable once you learn to swipe left and right full screens with three fingers. If I am doing 5000++ lines of code I would want the largest screen possible but then again most assignments are not that big and I already have a dock with 27” screen that I can rotate vertically. Add that I take notes on iPad Pro which I also use a second display with the air give me a lot of screen space when using display(sidecar). If I am doing real light duty programming for the day I just take the iPad Pro and magic keyboard(most of my programming is on Linux server). So why get MacBook pro as a student? You really are heavy into multimedia production, or heavy going to need to gpu. You already know you need it otherwise as a student just get the air.

Well said, thanks

I had the 13 pro with touch bar 2018 and i had a problem typing in class or doing homework with the touch bar and the reader wasnt on the 2018 so i upgraded to the 16”

Finally, a French fry quality front camera!

I got my MacBook m1 pro 14 inch at a discount at Costco for 1599 + tax so it was $1749 so it was really worth. I could have went with the macbook air m2 but it was a $225-250 differnece so it was really worth it for me to buy it for school. Also the discount at costco was better than the school discount at apple.

17hrs on M1 Pro? No way, 11hrs approx if you can squeeze it with lower brightness and Pro Motion, and that’s the 16 inch, 14 inch will have lesser than that due to smaller battery size (70Wh vs 99.6Wh on 16 inch).

but like the 16 inch has fast charging so wouldnt you want that

Honestly, if you like to have that reassurance with future proofing your laptop, I believe that spending the extra dough on the 14" MBP over the Air is worth it. (Mini LED, 120hz, better base with speakers, etc) (This is just my opinion though. The M1 Air is still an incredible piece of technology for the majority of people). I'm here still using my base model late 2011 MBP, which has lasted me until now (except for one time I had to replace the ram). I'm gonna be getting the 14" MBP today to finally replace it. Hopefully this one will last me a good while like the last.

Only thing that's stopped me is the rumoured M2 Air coming in 2022 but current leaked renders show off-white bezels that look REALLY bad imo. So I'm torn

Unless you’re in engineering, Computer/ data science, or architecture or anything that you know that you’ll need a lot of power for EXTENDED periods of time, then get the M1 MBA. The only differences (for me) between the MBA AND MBP is that the pro has better battery, option to use multiple extended displays, and a fan to help with long work loads. The $300 to upgrade may or may not be worth the differences, but that is just my 1.5 cents.

If you appreciate these things go for it, and keep it for many years to come, if you don’t then get the Air.

The only letdown for some ComSc students is poor VM support.

Owned the 2020 air also and yes it's a good computer but I truly hate the potato camera and also it felt not as premium as the pro does either. Lighter yes but then the 16 beats in everything else.
