I managed to get a base M4 Max 16 inch for £2999 from Currys. It was only up at that price for a bit before they took it down. I assumed it was a pricing error at £500 below RRP and expected it to be cancelled, but just got delivery confirmation for tomorrow! I'm upgrading from M1 Pro, so sounds like it'll be a big improvement and the £500 off helps stomach the cost of the upgrade.
- No OLED or touchscreen - No WiFi 7 - Very (!) limited gaming - Very (!) expensive extras Why bother to upgrade from a base or older model to a new one? Do people really wait that much for something doable on a Mac? 3D rendering: PC. Gaming: PC. Everything else runs great on a M1 16 GB RAM. I would go for a Mac Mini M4 base or a base MacBook Air/Pro M4.
I’ve had my MacBook 2015 for nearly 10 years. 6 years of audio work on it and it still handles basic stuff, but no high intensity programs. Finally upgrading this year.
Same! I had the 2009 14inch MacBook Pro for 6 years and plugins got more intense. Got the 2015 MacBook Pro and had that up to 2022 and got the MacBook M2 Max and that thing handles audio like a dream. I haven’t had one glitch yet in logic. I won’t upgrade until they finally get tandem OLED.
Have a 2010 macbook air that needed a new battery a few years back, but the speakers still work and the keyboard looks like new. All the keys work and none of the letters/numbers have worn off, the computer as a whole has been rock solid. Fast forward to my 2018 macbook pro and it has been garbage. The speakers are blown, the keyboard was replaced once by Apple, it is having the same problems yet again with letters wearing off, keys not working, falling off and now the battery needs replacing....so I am looking upgrading, but for the price, they should have externally replaceable batteries and the build quality should be much, much better.
@@GlobalWave1 I have reached a point where I have to upgrade from my 2015. I'm considering a refurbished Macbook Pro M2 Max but since the cost would come to 4,800 after taxes, I'm debating if buying an Macboook Pro M4 Max is a better option if I'm spending a significant amount.
You guys living in working countries are really fortunate you know. Here in Nigeria, only the rich (politicians and corrupt government officials) and fraudsters can afford the latest techs. The diligent working class are just living from hand to mouth😢
These computers with 16" in displays and maxed out apple chips and highest level RAM cost well over $5K US dollars a piece... even rich people here don't buy THESE laptops 🤣
Bought the M1 Max 64GB/4TB/32 GPU cores on release day in 2021 and never looked back. The machine still blows my mind in terms of performance, especially for being a laptop that I use from the sofa or an airplane. The 64GB on my M1 Max allows me to run a pretty good quantization of 70B Llama3.1 LLM locally - My 3 year old machine runs close-to-ChatGPT quality AI locally, for free, even on battery and disconnected from the internet! Other than that, it handles all my requirements as a developer - Running multiple virtual machines simultaneously without breaking a sweat. As for gaming, Baldur's Gate 3 runs at high quality and high fps with the right settings Judging from Geekbench 6 benchmarks, it appears that the max-specced M4 Max will be about 75% faster across the board than my machine - In terms of single-core, multi-core and GPU improvement alike. This is a crazy good improvement for 3 years, from an already crazy good starting point. What kind of use cases do people actually have to warrant an upgrade from previous generations? If you want high-fps gaming for modern games, sure, but other than that?
7:24 Great demonstration of nano texture effect: lose some black depth if you're way off-axis, looks fine from 30 degrees off-axis, absolutely fantastic outdoors.
NOBODY SHOULD KEEP IT FOR 5 YEARS, you buy the PRO and MAX for top grade performance, in 5years these laptops will be half as fast as a VANILLA M chip. ALWAYS BUY FOR YOUR NEEDS AND GET A NEW ONE EVERY 2-3years. Lots of people buy 2-3yo Macs on ebay. STOP WITH THIS FUTURE PROOFING BULLSHIT!!!!!
@@Thetechchap as someone who bought both m2 pro 14 inch and 16 inch back in 2023, the 16 inch a just a better computer. It still blows me away after 1 years on multiple points.

I was watching this video on my iPhone to decide what to buy and now I came back here to leave a comment on my new MBP M4 Max 16''. Thank you, you were really helpful!
Great video, I'm planning to return my MacBook Pro, I have the same M4 max full specs as yours. After setting up and everything, first thing I did is to check Davinci resolve, I put a single 5sec clip and applied speed ramp, the thing is lagging, playback speed is 15.6-19fps from a 25fps timeline. That's not what I'm expecting with the price I paid. I'm just trying to watch more reviews to see if someone has also experienced the same. Thanks
Hey, v thanks for nice presentation, I already ordered mine with nano texture and happy to see that it's working well. I was little bit afraid that will disturb the brightness and color.
watching this great review on 2012 MacBook Pro 16gb memory 1tb internal & 2tb internal ssd fitted in cd bay. I use parallels to run 3ds max 2024 for garden design although it does get quite slow at times, but it does the job. I have open core patcher with sequoia 15.2. Purchased new 2012, be sorry to see it go, but defo need upgrade watching this review.
As we grow higher in these M chips We are getting really close to the disadvantages of a similar PC laptop. 🤔 Now, the M4 got fast enough to play more complex 3D games well, but with that power we also go the HEAT and NOISE levels of the Windows gaming laptop. Loved the way that the M1 pro in my MPB 16 was so fast and quiet and consumed hardly any power...
Looked like a 6 db difference in fan noise, which might seem negligable until you understand a 6 db increase is twice as loud. (56 db is twice as loud as 50 db - it's a logarithmic scale). Those are the absolute numbers though. Perception is a whole other dimension. Meaning it may or may not matter to you.
They’re not that deeply discounted tho because they’re barely a year old. And unless you’re buying Apple refurb you you don’t get a warranty with a year of free service.
A Mac mini with a decent monitor screen and a iPad Pro 11 with the pencil pro would be my perfect hybrid set up. £599 / £999 / £130 + a monitor would give the MacBook Pro a run for value for money.
FYI, you CAN get 240hz over usb c with that monitor, just need to set the usb bandwidth to 2.0 rather than 3.1, 2.0 is more than enough for peripherals, I have the same monitor, excellent monitor
LOL! My 2017 MacBook Pro (mid-spec) is still running perfectly and does everything I want. (I don't do any encoding.) If I was going to buy, it would be the Mac mini with the M4 Max chip.
Makes me wonder how the other variants perform in terms of fan noise. I hope they focus on that with the re-design, optimizing the cooling, rather then trying to slim it down. But I really wish they would add a display-port. And a 4th Thunderbolt-port, or make the magsafe at least USB-4 or thunderolt 4, so it could be used both to expand the number of ports, but also for those that don't need a lot of ports, be the best possible docking solutions.
I’ve got M1 Max with 32gb ram and 1tb ssd and even with the speed improvements, I think I’m still sticking to it…. If the screen had changed to oled I’d have considered it seriously
@@Thetechchap Well Better display mod also allows you to modify a bunch of stuff, and even control brightness and colors of your monitor. It also give you the option to do 100% scaling pixel to pixel, so everything is super small, instead of the more room option apple gives you
I have the M1 Pro 16" base model from day-1 of release. I am feeling the performance degradation these days, and I know most of it is from memory consumption. I think the M4 Pro 48gb model is the perfect system to make the upgrade to. *Context* - I am a software engineer and do a lot of software development work (app development, AI projects) as well as the usual stuff (heavy multi-tab Chrome, Safari, productivity apps all open at once) and I feel the sluggishness now. The *3x memory size* increase is huge for me. M4 Max is probably overkill for me given I don't do video/photo editing (even though I want to start getting into that).
I think it's funny when the Windows/spec nerds scoff at mini LED and whine about the MBPs not having OLED, but in my option the mini LED MBP displays are still the best laptop displays available, for going on 4 years. The brightness is insane, no worries about burn in or degradation, perfect color, very little blooming, and ProMotion. Having said that, when Apple finally does switch to OLED I'm sure they'll get it right, and will almost surely go with tandem OLED.
Considering buying the 14” M4 Max, 16/40 cores, 64 GB RAM. Is thermal throttle an issue? I prefer portability, but will it be an issue for 2D 3D designing & rendering?
mac good. buy it. for 3d the best. maya 3dmax. dont worry just spend 5-8gran. its pro. its cant be wrong. nvidia its fake. gpu only apple.!!!! apple lead og gpu rendering
Macbook pros have higher memory bandwith which helps with video export. In addition, the fans of the pro models helps a ton in extended work loads, keeping the CPU and GPU cool. Also, the pro screens are better than the airs, the pros are slightly better builts, have better ports, and larger batteries. The air wins for portability and price.
@ That’s actually quite good, I had wanted to upgrade my M1 14” MBP to an M4. Battery life is one of the motivating factors and also trying to not lag behind too much in the update cycle.
Thank you. My 2012 MacBook Pro just bit the bullet last month. I was using Final Cut on it but use Davinci on my PC. I am thinking to get the MacBook Pro m4. I really don’t want to pay the crazy amount they want for the extra memory. Is the 48Gb of memory really going to be that much better than the 24Gb?
I feel like the scenarios where the nano screen excels aren't realistic of most people's user experience. A lot of them show the monitor off, which, if you can only tell it while it's off, then who cares? It's not like you're using it when there's nothing on the screen. And also they point insanely bright video recording lights at it, which just isn't a realistic scenario for most. Then bundle that w/ the fact you do lose some of the clarity in the black colors and the image, and you're paying extra for that. I just don't see why anyone would want it unless they have VERY specific scenarios (maybe they do a lot of presentations on a podium with lights pointed at them, or they put their desk directly in sight of the sun coming through the windows).
Help! 🙏🏼… I found the M3 MAX 🟡 (14 CPU, 36 GB RAM, 30 GPU) … at the same price as … the M4 PRO 🟣 (24 GB, 20 GPU, 14 CPU, which Mac should I buy? 😩 Considering that the CPU speed of the M4 Pro is a little bit better than the M3 Max.
Apple seriously didn't market the nano-texture enough. If I knew it was that drastic and that good, I would have upgraded to it. I pre-ordered thinking it wouldn't be that much a difference. Major regret now...
Dalam memilih gajet ni bukan sebab kepantasan sahaja. Ciri lain pun kira juga. Tiba2 dlm fb keluar banner dlm threadnya, minggu ni berapa kali? Terkejut juga. Tak pernah kena ke?
I am replacing my 2017 iMac Pro (with a powerful eGPU) with either the M4 Max MBP or an M4 Max Studio (when available.) Although I don’t want or need a laptop, this MBP looks like it’s perfect for all the things I want to accomplish. I already have 3 Apple monitors that I currently use. I obtained the Kensington TB5 unit so I’d be good to go out of the box.
For 500 frames ripple dreams on 14” 40 core gpu m3 max I got 4m 20s. This was the greatest laptop ever made until the m4 max 14” released. This is Eevee though. You really need to do a cycles test. See the time per frame difference and let me know. If you can do the classroom demo under cycles demo files in the blender page.
If Apple Continues to widen the gap with the upgrades on Macbooks each year and software support improves drastically, Windows laptops will be a very tough sale.
First of all, appreciate your sharing. Looks like it can make sure Thunderblot 5 can drive two monitors through the docking. hope that can have the MBP M4 test~i would like to understand whether M4 can get the same way or not~
Nice. Cant afford to go for M4 Max but due an upgrade after nearly 9 years. Going for 16 inch M4 Pro. I'm not getting it for gaming but out of interest, how would you say M4 Pro vs Max compares for graphics/gaming/fps etc? Thanks
Mac book/5 years A mac mini with a monitor /6~7 years A pc ~~ A playstation/xbox setup /10 years an i phone each 4 years An i pad/5 years a smart watch / until it breaks
0:01 yeah but in PC you can upgrade RAM/GPU/SSD even processor if you want. If 3-4 years later you happen to need more performance you can upgrade components of PC and you don't have to buy entirely a new laptop like in case of Mac. So PC is more cheaper and environmentally friendly overtime
I'm coming from a 2019 i9 16" and my 14" M4 Max 16c will be coming today. Do you think it will be AMAZINGLY FAST or IMPRESSIVELY FAST compared to my slow 2019 one?
I don’t know which screen should i use ? Nano texture? Or standard? I just use it indoors money Is no problem Im going to use it for coding And entertaining Please help?
I'm thinking this might be the year to upgrade from my 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch running a i7 Intel core. The battery life is extremely poor in recent months and the computer is starting to slow down significantly. So upgrading to apples new chip should be a big difference.
I am an Apple user and need to upgrade phone and tablet. Can you get the same seamless syncing across devices with a Samsung phone and tablet automatically as you can with Apple devices? Thank you for any advice on this
CEX is good and all for your pocket and the environment. My only issue is that on two occasions they claimed my pixel 8 pro was a C grade because of a minuscule mark on the screen that not I or even they initially noticed but then sold the same phone as a B grade. They did the same with a Samsung Book 4 Pro 360 said it was B grade because the type C port I used to charge the device had a mark of the charger but then were selling the same device as A grade the very next day 😅😂. Needless to say the experience put me off.

I'm curious about the difference between a M1 Ultra maxed out MacStudio vs the new M4 Max MBP. I'm really upset we didn't get a new M3 for the Studio.
As an M3 Pro MBP owner I'd suggest grabbing a deeply discounted M3 Pro MBP as it offers close to what the M4 has.
They’re not that deeply discounted tho because they’re barely a year old. And unless you’re buying Apple refurb you you don’t get a warranty with a year of free service.

I got the 128GB RAM and 2TB M4 Max 14". Perfect travel computer while I'm away from my M2 Ultra studio.
How is the battery on that version?
What do you do for work jeez. That's like $15k+ in 2 computers 😂
@@thegreatkizo still very good. Better than my m1 max 16in
@@John-sn4hl I’m doing marketing manager/ designer/ photographer and a bit of coding while working with large dataset on some ML projects.
@ That’s actually quite good, I had wanted to upgrade my M1 14” MBP to an M4. Battery life is one of the motivating factors and also trying to not lag behind too much in the update cycle.
2012 mid macbook pro was the last to get the matte screen i believe. Also because i'm typing from it now :D
How much better is the battery life
Not significantly better, around 5%

Thank you. My 2012 MacBook Pro just bit the bullet last month. I was using Final Cut on it but use Davinci on my PC. I am thinking to get the MacBook Pro m4. I really don’t want to pay the crazy amount they want for the extra memory. Is the 48Gb of memory really going to be that much better than the 24Gb?
I feel like the scenarios where the nano screen excels aren't realistic of most people's user experience. A lot of them show the monitor off, which, if you can only tell it while it's off, then who cares? It's not like you're using it when there's nothing on the screen. And also they point insanely bright video recording lights at it, which just isn't a realistic scenario for most. Then bundle that w/ the fact you do lose some of the clarity in the black colors and the image, and you're paying extra for that. I just don't see why anyone would want it unless they have VERY specific scenarios (maybe they do a lot of presentations on a podium with lights pointed at them, or they put their desk directly in sight of the sun coming through the windows).
Hey I know this isn't really related to MacBooks but I was wondering what's your wallpaper please, looks gorgeous!!
Letting CeX sponsor you is 100% getting you demonetized 😂😂
Help! 🙏🏼… I found the M3 MAX 🟡 (14 CPU, 36 GB RAM, 30 GPU) … at the same price as … the M4 PRO 🟣 (24 GB, 20 GPU, 14 CPU, which Mac should I buy? 😩
Considering that the CPU speed of the M4 Pro is a little bit better than the M3 Max.
Nope M3 Max is still way better.
Apple seriously didn't market the nano-texture enough.
If I knew it was that drastic and that good, I would have upgraded to it. I pre-ordered thinking it wouldn't be that much a difference.
Major regret now...
Apple has a 2 week return policy IIRC. You can use the one you ordered while waiting on another with the nano display and then return the original.
Dalam memilih gajet ni bukan sebab kepantasan sahaja. Ciri lain pun kira juga. Tiba2 dlm fb keluar banner dlm threadnya, minggu ni berapa kali? Terkejut juga. Tak pernah kena ke?
I am replacing my 2017 iMac Pro (with a powerful eGPU) with either the M4 Max MBP or an M4 Max Studio (when available.) Although I don’t want or need a laptop, this MBP looks like it’s perfect for all the things I want to accomplish. I already have 3 Apple monitors that I currently use. I obtained the Kensington TB5 unit so I’d be good to go out of the box.
I love how you always find a way to hate on the word “daily driver” 😂😂
It’s such a UA-cam cliche though 😅
For 500 frames ripple dreams on 14” 40 core gpu m3 max I got 4m 20s.
This was the greatest laptop ever made until the m4 max 14” released.
This is Eevee though. You really need to do a cycles test. See the time per frame difference and let me know.
If you can do the classroom demo under cycles demo files in the blender page.
If Apple Continues to widen the gap with the upgrades on Macbooks each year and software support improves drastically,
Windows laptops will be a very tough sale.
i can take the old one if you don't need it , 😇😇😇

First of all, appreciate your sharing.
Looks like it can make sure Thunderblot 5 can drive two monitors through the docking.
hope that can have the MBP M4 test~i would like to understand whether M4 can get the same way or not~
What mic and camera did you use to make this video?
Non related question, but where’s your hoodie from?
Does the nano display reduce specular highlights during HDR10 and Dolby Vision movie playback? thanks.
Me watching this on the Original M1 macbook pro 13”. Still runs blazing fast and battery health is at 98%.
M1 here died in 2023. Needed a new logic board.
Screen went black sometimes and one day infinite bootloop.
Is the display response time better on the M4 models compared to the M3, especially in scrolling, switching between workspaces?
Identical, as far as i know
Nice. Cant afford to go for M4 Max but due an upgrade after nearly 9 years. Going for 16 inch M4 Pro. I'm not getting it for gaming but out of interest, how would you say M4 Pro vs Max compares for graphics/gaming/fps etc? Thanks
Mac book/5 years
A mac mini with a monitor /6~7 years
A pc ~~
A playstation/xbox setup /10 years
an i phone each 4 years
An i pad/5 years
a smart watch / until it breaks
They're going to have to redesign the m-series to get any more significant gains😢
Thank you for making video Mr.
0:01 yeah but in PC you can upgrade RAM/GPU/SSD even processor if you want. If 3-4 years later you happen to need more performance you can upgrade components of PC and you don't have to buy entirely a new laptop like in case of Mac. So PC is more cheaper and environmentally friendly overtime
Imagine if Apple made a gaming handheld with the M4 chips!
wonder if the nano texture stops the coating from coming off from the keyboard when its closed?
I need to get myself a deeper desk, where did you get yours?
do you think a new macbook m2 touchbar pro with 24gb ram and 1tb for £1400 is a good price for software development
Is it worth spending money nowadays for year on year upgrades on any of the devices not only your laptops but your smartphones, headsets etc.
Bought one with 128GB ram. Hope it helps me read my email and papers superfast.
How is that ? I bet it’s good with google chrome. I want that much memory for google chrome reasons.
I'm coming from a 2019 i9 16" and my 14" M4 Max 16c will be coming today. Do you think it will be AMAZINGLY FAST or IMPRESSIVELY FAST compared to my slow 2019 one?
It will be neither IMPRESSIVELY nor AMAZINGLY fast; it will be MIND-NUMBINGLY fast.
What Shortcut do you use in your Browser for GPT? Just a bookmark?
Look how happy he is!
I don’t know which screen should i use ? Nano texture? Or standard?
I just use it indoors
money Is no problem
Im going to use it for coding
And entertaining
Please help?
Nano texture is perfect at indoors when light come in from the windows or 💡
if you like the crystal clear image as I do, skip the nano..
What is this temperature and consumption tracking program?
I'm thinking this might be the year to upgrade from my 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch running a i7 Intel core. The battery life is extremely poor in recent months and the computer is starting to slow down significantly. So upgrading to apples new chip should be a big difference.
Good Cafe Nero product placement 💥
I didn’t even think about it lol. Now I need them to sponsor
Just a Correction in camera comparison you wrote 16 MBP 2023 in both texts. White and green :)
I am an Apple user and need to upgrade phone and tablet. Can you get the same seamless syncing across devices with a Samsung phone and tablet automatically as you can with Apple devices? Thank you for any advice on this
CEX is good and all for your pocket and the environment. My only issue is that on two occasions they claimed my pixel 8 pro was a C grade because of a minuscule mark on the screen that not I or even they initially noticed but then sold the same phone as a B grade.
They did the same with a Samsung Book 4 Pro 360 said it was B grade because the type C port I used to charge the device had a mark of the charger but then were selling the same device as A grade the very next day 😅😂.
Needless to say the experience put me off.
Nice work!
