The mistake that Apple made with the touch bar was making it replace the top row function keys instead of having it as an addition above it. it was enough of an annoyance for people that they hated the touch bar. there's enough space that Apple could have had both and made it work.

You are completely right, there is room about the function keys for a Touch Bar. I really liked that Touch Bar a lot, its a shame they got rid of it...

@@danielg3202nah that garbage fails way to often and now you lost all function keys. Glad they got rid of it, good riddance!!

just picked this bad boy up today second hand, best laptop ever, worth every cent.

The Touch Bar was awesome. Great for making easy shortcuts and scrolling video. I miss it.

That lamp on the left at 0:30 is an Ikea lamp, got the same one in my house in the Caribbean lol :)

Mine in silver arrived today ❤

I agree about the Touch Bar

Nice one!

this computer is ungodly fast its unbelieveable. outperforms my PC with really solid specs + graphics card

i am same as you i don't what is the spec for yours but i got 16 m1pro 16gb 1tb with warranty for 10month 1650cad. the dude bought it but he didn't like it. I absolutely love it since i came from m1 13 mbp. final cut pro is better than premier pro in m series. if you need to use windows you could use parallel. there is some games supported.

actually did that, but in 2023. i paid just 1500€ for the 16 inch with 1 tb ssd. the guy who sold it, priced it that cheap cuz it got a scratch on the screen. but that thing is sooooo tiny. its crazy

@techno-eclipse - What OS are you currently running on? Are you on Sonoma? I love my M1 Max 16" MBP but I'm still running on Monterey and I'm reluctant to update OS... pls advise :).

Mine is on its way! Got a base model 16” for $1200!

How much price if 1TB storage there?

It is a great one, I bought it new and I even edit and color grade RED footage, yes it is that powerful

Thanks dude gonna buy one myself. And yeah touchbar is WAY better lol

How would your specs (M1 Pro, 16G ram) do with Davinci Resolve? TIA

What about the fetch security issue with m1?

+1 on the touch bar. I thought it was pretty cool. Some KZreadr probably said how horrible it was and then the sheeple just jumped on the bandwagon.

Great video, I do like my MacBook Air a little better since it’s lighter though. Also, great edit 😏

I had a 1TB 16gb M1 Air and was editing high end stuff for Sennheiser. A handful of exports didn't render properly so I ended up moving to a base Mac Studio and that was the right decision for me. I think the M1 Pro would have done the job as well because I was occasionally editing 8K stuff on the air and it was certainly capable.@@techno_eclipse

At this point, no. HDMI has been useful, SD Card reader has been great. The only other complaint is that I can't use windows on it, but I just remote into my desktop for that, which allows me to use the graphics processing power of my 3070, as opposed to just letting it sit there collecting dust.

@@techno_eclipse ah. In response to your touch bar, I bought a 2018 pro couple months ago, I figured it benchmarked similar to my gaming PC so couldn't be slow, and to be fair it's fast for day to day stuff but the touch bar I love. Even skipping unskippable KZread ads. However I do question if it's necessarily quicker for brightness and volume, despite it being cooler. However in apps like excel and calculator, it's unquestionably better with touch bar

@techno_eclipse

3 ай бұрын

I think it is certainly slower to adjust brightness, but I think it's the reason Apple has the same design when adjusting the brightness and volume on an iPhone, a better user experience. I do miss the Touch Bar, but it is one of those things that I was always a little afraid of it breaking and then having to replace it.....

no one can afford the damn things, way overpriced....... even macbook air is high priced, love apple, Hate windows but Macs are so pricy a new one is out of reach from a practical spending standpoint

I dunno.......I think my AMD Ryzen 7 equipped Lenovo ThinkPad?...(w/32GB of RAM, and a 4TB SSD) kinda blows your Macbook out of the water. But of course I DON'T do content creation...nope...i do SQL data crunching.....C++ / HTML / Python coding and programming.....but I still think I might be able to hang.....or better yet...maybe try bench-marking stuff OTHER than video renders and graphics?.....or does that kind of "work" not qualify?.....oh well...I guess to each their own!

All the specs are useless the moment you try to do app development and need to put your app on iOS appstore. Some choices are not about bigger numbers but specific usecases.
