Bro you convinced me with the Nano texture display.. i was always worried about the washed out effect but i guess i was wrong.. im def getting the Macbook pro with the Nano texture display 😊 Thanks man☺️
Thanks for the informative and rational analysis. I spent about half an hour in the Apple Store, comparing the glossy and nano side-by-side with various content. I went into the store, thinking the nano would not be worthwhile. But after viewing at various angles, the reduction in glare from the store lights was undeniable. I ended up ordering the nano texture with the M4 pro chip and I'm waiting for delivery.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate you affirming my rationality, haha. The nanotexture is honestly way better than anyone would realistically expect. It’s amazing.
Same, plus, I went back and forth between the MacBook table and iPad table... wondering WHY the nano-texture does look better on the MacBook... much less raindow-glitter effect.
Thank you for such an honest and in-depth review comparing the glossy and nano-texture displays! I’ve been torn between the two, especially since my work involves graphic design, video editing, and photography. Most other reviewers barely scratched the surface, but your detailed comparisons and genuine recommendations made all the difference. Thanks to your insights, I’m now confident in choosing the nano-texture option. 🙏🏽
So glad you found it valuable! I saw a lot of nonsensical talk regarding it and I had to do a deep dive to show it but also verify or invalidate a lot of the claims people were making. Needless to say, nano texture is incredible. I can't go back.
I recently got the M4 Pro 14", and I love it so far. I came from the base M1 Pro 16". My 16" never made a peep during heavy loads, and I never heard the fan once. My new 14" on the other hand has triggered the fan a number of times under load, and I'm still trying to get used to it, lol.
@@ia6980 true, noise is definitely a drag. But there comes a point where it’s worth it. The performance is crazy good compared to my M1. All of my jobs finish in half the time, I can run things in the background and edit thousands of photos in the background without it feeling sluggish. My M1 Pro was definitely feeling sluggish.
Thanks for good video, I have intel MacBook Pro and I’m thinking is time to upgrade, mostly I do adobe software, and I might starting video editing near future, can you suggest what MacBook Pro i should get? I like m4 pro with 48gb ram? do I need m4 max?
Wow. You're going to be in for quite the upgrade if you're still using an Intel Mac. You have no idea haha. The upgraded M4 Pro is more than fine and should last you another 5-6 years at least.
The heaviest task I would do would be editing video. Only really suggesting to get the m4 pro is for the 24Gb of ram. worth it? or is the base 16gb ram enough? Looking to upgrade my 2015 MBP has had enough.
First time checking out one of your vids, and man it's really awesome to see you touch on some of the aspects others don't (Nano comparison with Third Party, MotionFX lag and the apple care tip!) Rock on dude!
I made the video I wanted to watch, haha. Feel free to check out other videos, especially regarding audio. Those go super deep into research and comparisons!
Great review 🎉 the point that resonates with me the most is actually the last one: depreciation 💰 I was literally thinking the same thing 😅 in 2 years the M1 Max might lose a lot of its current value
Would you suggest an m3max 14 inch or m4pro? For video editing I do use davinci, for full fledge editing, color grading, tracking and everything. 🙏🏻 loved the review.
Hi there What are your thoughts if you had to recommend me a Mac to purchase and which one would you recommend ? I enjoy gaming I also do some light photo editing Any recommendations out there ? On which system out there ? Thank you
Mac won’t work for gaming, still. Perhaps in the future, and at that point maybe the Pro makes sense. To be honest, if you’re only editing photos as a power task and it’s not your career where you’re doing it in large numbers, the M4 base model is more than fine. If you want to splurge or have room for it to last for five years, get the high end M4 Pro.
2 weeks ago I bought the Lenovo Legion 7i i9 14th gen RTX 4070. 3 days ago I end up getting M4 MacBook 16 Pro chip with 24gb ram.. I love the screen my first MacBook again in 6 years. I use this as my daily driver but I use my Legion for gaming.. I love the fluidity of this MacBook
Hi Thanks for your advice alway, Hi I'm on the process buying, Macbok M4 Pro 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, Nano-texture display, Apple M4 Pro chip with 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU and 16‑core Neural Engine, 48GB unified memory, 512GB SSD storage for Motion Graphics design, using softwares like C4D. Adobe Creative Suit and more, do you think i will need to upgrade to 1TB and 14‑core CPU, 32‑core GPU? Thanks
Yeah, I’d upgrade to the top end version and then have at least 1TB if not 2TB of storage. You may benefit from the high end M4 Max for motion graphics design, but I’d only do that if you do it as a career and make money off of it.
Hi, thank you for that amazing content! One question from me maybe two. I am a Product UX/UI Designer, mainly I will be using the new MacBook to create strategies and interfaces in Figma and want to start creating my UA-cam content aswell (video editing). As a UI designer every little shade for me counts. I'm currently running on an OLED Dell XPS 15 for 4 years, and I'm wondering whether to get the nano texture or the regular one. But what puzzles me even more is whether 24gb or 48gb will be suitable for me. Can you help? This will be my first product from Apple.... :) Thank you 🙏🏼
Hey! Good questions! I think the nanotexture is for sure the way to go for creatives. I do not see a material decrease in quality. In practical use, I argue that it provides a better image because there isn't a glare from every little thing. As for 24GB or 48GB, the reality is that most people will be fine with 24GB and Apple even designed their laptops in a way that will utilize the SSD for additional RAM when needed. Obviously, it's best to use the RAM proper rather than a mixture, but you have that as an option. Depending on how intense your designs are, the amount of assets and layers being utilized, the resolution, etc., 48GB may be helpful, but that's something you'd have to ponder. At worst, you spend extra on something you won't need now but will certainly provide headroom over the upcoming years as programs become more demanding and your skills and needs increase.
I do mini films 4k around 5 minute each, do u think the base model 10 core 16gb is enough or should I get the m4 pro, I am broke student but I don’t want to spend twice.
You can definitely make it through with the base model, yeah. I think if you can stretch it, go for the Pro, but it's not like you won't be able to edit on the base model.
Thanks, I have both on my shopping bag and I will go pro instead of max since I only do LrC/ Ps which are less demanding than video so instead I put a 4 Tb ssd… And yes, nano for me
Yeah from the keynote I thought the same. I think this anti-glare display is the real deal, everything else comes second. It's like Samsung's S23 Ultra display thing. Makes you wish every other laptop adopts it.
Oh, yeah. I love the anti-glare on the S24 Ultra. It's amazing. I have a feeling they have an exclusivity with Corning on that for a little, but I hope it opens up to other smartphones and devices in the upcoming years.
yeah, if you point a light directly at it. In normal situations though, it's not a problem. It's actually more contrasty and clear than the glossy display, which ALWAYS has a glare.
So hear me out. I'm embarrassed to say since I've started working and had a company issued laptop I haven't owned one of my own in over a decade! I got the M1 iPad pro and tried to do some editing on the go but iPad OS aint ideal! I've stood on the sidelines looking longingly at apple silicon evolve and I think the M4 Pro MBP this year is the sweet spot. Realistically, I'll likely keep it until M8! To to the average consumer who buys one of these, use it until it it does not want to be used anymore and forget the hype of upgrading every year!
Dang, I loved this video! Wracking my brain trying to decide to trade in my M1 Max MBP 16” for the M4 Pro MBP 14”. Your discussion on the trade in at the end of the video is exactly what I’m thinking. I think it’s time to send my M1 Max to Apple and buy the M4 Pro. Thanks for a great video.
I have a privacy screen for my macbook pro which is matte color. I don't use it for reflection purposes but just for privacy in public places like a coffee shop. It definetely does reduce reflections but i still prefer to use the computer without any screen at home. I have never experienced the nano texture in person though so i will probably check it out at some apple store before making a decision.
Been following your extensive threads interaction lol FINALLY someone puts this screen in context of working with davinci and such... And how so many just put it on par with a matte protector is beyond me... this is the best matte-anything I have ever seen... Same situation: Hated the iPad nano-texture... and now am somehow tempted to upgrade the MacBook Pro to get that screen 😂 P.S.: Apple says to NOT put anything between the display and keyboard when closing the lid... I did that with the older older generation MacBook Pros... But this generation the gap is so... tiny... Do you still put the microfibre cloth in there when closing?
Just be careful if you’re considering nano texture and watch the Jerry rig everything video. The displays scratch far more easily for negligible benefits unless you’re in a very sunny place all the time. None the less in coming from 2019 16” i7 16 GB RAM 512 GB SSD to the M4 Pro Space Black 48 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. I absolutely cannot wait!! The difference will be life changing for my music and podcast production work.
I'm not worried about it. It's not an iPad. Also, JRE is extremely biased, and I'm not saying that in a "I'm offended he said something I don't like." I don't really care about that. He just doesn't hide the fact that when he doesn't like something/someone/a company and he lets that color his reviews and commentary. If he was more objective I'd respect his videos more, but he has a lot of double standards and pushes Apple products harder than others. It gets views though, so I guess that's the game. But yeah, you're going to experience an incredible improvement from Intel. It'll feel like you've been climbing up hill while dragging a legion of toddlers running everywhere behind you. It's seriously insane.
@@ThisIsTechToday the review will inherently be biased, as will all of your videos. Unless they are peer reviewed and objective studies of a product. But even then there's scope for bias. In his review, the methodologies were outlined, clear, and demonstrated. Meaning, he has presented the source material/facts as opposed to an opinion. Therefore it is an objective fact that the nano-texture display is more susceptible to damage. It's not a big issue, but if you happen to wipe the screen with your hand and you have a ring on, or wipe it with a cloth that might have some sort of debris on, it is far more likely to become scratched in a way that is more distracting than the original display. So my point really is that it's something that people should consider, not least the fact that people frequently return the nano texture iPads for the normal displays. Obviously with the Mac, they won't smudge etc... as not touchscreen and if you're careful they will be just fine. But again it's something to consider because these screens ARE NOT CHEAP to replace. And yes I see where you are coming from with the analogy, it does feel really slow now and I'm SO ready to upgrade!!
There is always bias, but he is not even remotely objective. He will bend Apple tablets but not other brands tablets and then say Apple sucks. I don't trust him for anything objective.
@@ThisIsTechToday Glad to see you reply. I think M1 Max base MBP may potentially be a better deals for semi-professionals, as many heavy pro softwares nowadays are either RAM and/or VRAM hogs.
3-5 years of life? I've had my MBP for 11 years. It's a tradeoff between buying the "cheap" version that lasts very little and the loaded version that can last a decade. A 128 GB M4 Max is still going to be great 5-7 years from now.
Man I must be a rare opinion on the nano texture. I saw it in the Apple Store and wasn’t a fan of the subtle but noticeable diffusion on black levels and contrasts. I think you prefer it over your M1 Max glossy because it’s not as bright. But with the new m4s, the screens are generally brighter with or without the nano textures.
@@ThisIsTechToday i tried to recreate an actual desk situation so the displays were mostly upright with a slight tilt up. i think the nano texture works well by taking the light glare and dispersing it across the display, where as the glare on the normal glossy remains solid where it hits but the rest of the screen stays inky black and punchy. for me its a bit of a trade off. maximum productivity with the nano texture but anytime theres a light, it will soften the image a bit (tho slight) vs having unfettered punchy image with the glossy but have to be ok with ignoring the opaque light glares when they appear. Another thing that threw off wanting the nano texture was finding out that you need a "special" kind of microfiber cloth. i have hard enough time keeping clothes around me to clean my screen, itll be even harder to keep a special high end cloth with me to clean the nano texture. tbh tho thats more on me, im a filthy person when it comes to my screens
Yeah, I think you're describing a situation that isn't the usual. It shouldn't be diffusing across the display that much in normal situations. You have it angled too far up.
Use it not in the store in a normal environment with it tilted slightly up like you normally would. Apple stores have an insane amount of light everywhere intentionally to make things top lit. That's not usual.
You think that your M1 Max will be worth $0 in 6 years? Wouldn't it at least be worth something then? I saw an article that said Macbook Pros have about 68.5% appreciation 6 years from purchase. So wouldn't you still be able to sell it for something? Unless you think the battery and computer will be shot or it just won't be desirable at all at that point and really won't be worth much like you're saying?
You can find plenty of those tests elsewhere. I don't need to "do more." I'm not here to convince you of anything either. I also don't agree wit 16" being "king." It's a preference. Chill.
It would be interesting to compare the nano texture from Apple and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra anti glare. I think the latter may fare better since it’s not textured.
@ yeah sure… nice presentation… I went to Apple Store here in Munich and I compared the 2 side by side and besides reflection the glassy display is way better to me. Anyways it’s like taste so no need argue 🤗😉
I am always blown away that an inch and a half and less than 2 pounds is really such a thing. Paying as much as we do, if $200 - $300 gives me more screen Real Estate I can find a reason to get disappointed 😂 I’ve tried editing on plane for me, even with the 14” Windows system I was still not comfortable. Once I’m at a Hotel, I am so happy to feel the extra screen space.
I'm so over that. I have no issues using the 14" and editing off of it. I'm doing it now on a plane and I love how small it is. The 16" was a burden while traveling.
Absolutely slays them. They're inefficient, power hogs and heat generators and M4 can do better than them off the plug without drawing so much power. It is really sad how far behind they are. 😂
@@ThisIsTechToday it’s far from a dealbreaker for me, but I do find it strange that the base model iphone released before these laptops has better spec’d wifi. And it’s purely specs, since the iphone won’t do MLO nor MCS13, which are the main wifi7 benefits, but are optional :)
Heavy plugins and things like magic mask bring all apple silicon to their knees.... integrated graphics is still integrated graphics, sadly a windows laptop with a dedicated 4090 would run circles around all apple silicon in effects.
Not exactly. It's mostly Resolve and how it deals with Text for some reason, especially with plugins from this company. Other plugins work just fine. Otherwise, it's more powerful and FAR MORE efficient than a 4090.
What a great review, but even in your comparison, the standard glossy display looks better than the nano texture option (at least to my eyes). The nano-texture seems to add some foggy reflections which give it a kinda plasticky look that I don’t like … but I heard there is some QD tech in the new displays, I wonder if that applies only to nano-texture and if that is the reason that up-close there is some difference in apparent dynamic range. Either way, maybe I should see it person as you suggested.

It seems so obvious, doesn't it? haha. Glad you appreciated it!
I've seen tons of MBP reviews, and you have honestly done the best job reviewing the nanotexture display. THANKS for helping me make the decision.

We can confidently say it still has fans quieter than most gaming/performance laptops that are even close to the performance of the M4 Pro/Max lol
@@ThisIsTechToday true story 😂
It's a Performance core problem. More Performance cores leads to more fan noise. However, you do get far better performance for the extra fan noise.
Great breakdown as always bro! I might update this year…we shall see. My M1 Pro is still killing it lol 😂
Yeah, the M1 is so dang good. lol. It's all of the little things that add up to make it worth it this time.

As a designer, I loved my non-glare G4 powerbook back in 2003, then for the next 22 years, they decided to only do glossy displays for some reason.

How is thermals and nano texture?
Thermals are fine. Did you watch the video? There are chapters made available to help you find sections like the nanotexture.
Yeah from the keynote I thought the same. I think this anti-glare display is the real deal, everything else comes second. It's like Samsung's S23 Ultra display thing. Makes you wish every other laptop adopts it.

@@ThisIsTechToday Oh I stand corrected, it was the S24U, indeed. Time flies fast my friend.
Doesn't it just blurs the reflections and makes the image hazy? All other comparisons nano texture has decreased contrast in light
yeah, if you point a light directly at it. In normal situations though, it's not a problem. It's actually more contrasty and clear than the glossy display, which ALWAYS has a glare.

should i get an M4 with 24GB 1TB for £1800. or M4 Pro 12-c 24GB 1TB for £2030. I'm a software engineer
Just be careful if you’re considering nano texture and watch the Jerry rig everything video. The displays scratch far more easily for negligible benefits unless you’re in a very sunny place all the time.
None the less in coming from 2019 16” i7 16 GB RAM 512 GB SSD to the M4 Pro Space Black 48 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD.
I absolutely cannot wait!! The difference will be life changing for my music and podcast production work.
I'm not worried about it. It's not an iPad. Also, JRE is extremely biased, and I'm not saying that in a "I'm offended he said something I don't like." I don't really care about that. He just doesn't hide the fact that when he doesn't like something/someone/a company and he lets that color his reviews and commentary. If he was more objective I'd respect his videos more, but he has a lot of double standards and pushes Apple products harder than others. It gets views though, so I guess that's the game.
But yeah, you're going to experience an incredible improvement from Intel. It'll feel like you've been climbing up hill while dragging a legion of toddlers running everywhere behind you. It's seriously insane.
@@ThisIsTechToday the review will inherently be biased, as will all of your videos. Unless they are peer reviewed and objective studies of a product. But even then there's scope for bias.
In his review, the methodologies were outlined, clear, and demonstrated. Meaning, he has presented the source material/facts as opposed to an opinion.
Therefore it is an objective fact that the nano-texture display is more susceptible to damage. It's not a big issue, but if you happen to wipe the screen with your hand and you have a ring on, or wipe it with a cloth that might have some sort of debris on, it is far more likely to become scratched in a way that is more distracting than the original display.
So my point really is that it's something that people should consider, not least the fact that people frequently return the nano texture iPads for the normal displays.
Obviously with the Mac, they won't smudge etc... as not touchscreen and if you're careful they will be just fine. But again it's something to consider because these screens ARE NOT CHEAP to replace.
And yes I see where you are coming from with the analogy, it does feel really slow now and I'm SO ready to upgrade!!
There is always bias, but he is not even remotely objective. He will bend Apple tablets but not other brands tablets and then say Apple sucks. I don't trust him for anything objective.
Can we talk about the fact that some clearance base M1 Max MBP are of the same price region as the base M4 pro MBP
Exactly. The depreciation curve is accelerating.
@@ThisIsTechToday Glad to see you reply. I think M1 Max base MBP may potentially be a better deals for semi-professionals, as many heavy pro softwares nowadays are either RAM and/or VRAM hogs.
Depends on if you're just going after the best price and then you use it until it's dead or if you want to keep upgrading.
M1 Pro still going super strong for me, don't plan on upgrading from that any time soon.
👍
I'm using a Chromebook plus laptop 💻
lol, then this would be overkill. 😅
3-5 years of life?
I've had my MBP for 11 years. It's a tradeoff between buying the "cheap" version that lasts very little and the loaded version that can last a decade.
A 128 GB M4 Max is still going to be great 5-7 years from now.
Before needing to upgrade to keep up, yeah.
Can you review the SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds please? Thank you!
I wish! They haven’t been interested in sending me anything when I reach out.
wallpaper link plz
It's a photo I took lol
Man I must be a rare opinion on the nano texture. I saw it in the Apple Store and wasn’t a fan of the subtle but noticeable diffusion on black levels and contrasts. I think you prefer it over your M1 Max glossy because it’s not as bright. But with the new m4s, the screens are generally brighter with or without the nano textures.
I don’t see an issue with blacks or contrasts when aiming it at your face as normal. Maybe you had it pointing up at the lights?
@@ThisIsTechToday i tried to recreate an actual desk situation so the displays were mostly upright with a slight tilt up. i think the nano texture works well by taking the light glare and dispersing it across the display, where as the glare on the normal glossy remains solid where it hits but the rest of the screen stays inky black and punchy. for me its a bit of a trade off. maximum productivity with the nano texture but anytime theres a light, it will soften the image a bit (tho slight) vs having unfettered punchy image with the glossy but have to be ok with ignoring the opaque light glares when they appear. Another thing that threw off wanting the nano texture was finding out that you need a "special" kind of microfiber cloth. i have hard enough time keeping clothes around me to clean my screen, itll be even harder to keep a special high end cloth with me to clean the nano texture.
tbh tho thats more on me, im a filthy person when it comes to my screens
Yeah, I think you're describing a situation that isn't the usual. It shouldn't be diffusing across the display that much in normal situations. You have it angled too far up.
lol I mean a laptop is usually below your eye line on a table isn’t it? Wouldn’t the screen need to be tilted up even a bit?
Use it not in the store in a normal environment with it tilted slightly up like you normally would. Apple stores have an insane amount of light everywhere intentionally to make things top lit. That's not usual.
You think that your M1 Max will be worth $0 in 6 years? Wouldn't it at least be worth something then?
I saw an article that said Macbook Pros have about 68.5% appreciation 6 years from purchase. So wouldn't you still be able to sell it for something? Unless you think the battery and computer will be shot or it just won't be desirable at all at that point and really won't be worth much like you're saying?
should have performed more tests, resolve alone doesnt convince me as M1 Max owner, sorry. Also 16“ is king.
You can find plenty of those tests elsewhere. I don't need to "do more." I'm not here to convince you of anything either. I also don't agree wit 16" being "king." It's a preference. Chill.
You gotta be kidding me. The M4 is insane for the price lol
They need build IPS instead of nano texture.
NO
I want them to bring nano texture to the iPhone
It would be interesting to compare the nano texture from Apple and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra anti glare. I think the latter may fare better since it’s not textured.
Should I get the M4 12-core pro or M4 14-core pro? Or does it not matter?
I'd definitely go with the 14 Core.
@ why?
@@Wunderkindddfor 14 inc 12c/16g for 16 inc 16c/20g (and only one m4 pro).
Disk speed is also bad.
Nonsense.
@@ThisIsTechToday You will see the slow disk speed benchs if you check the black magic test result. You have a lot of thing to learn !
@@ThisIsTechToday Disk speed is still slower. Check the disk benchmarks !
It’s plenty fast. I use it regularly.
The nano can not be better in display than the glassy one except on reflecktion LOL
Did we watch the same video?
@ yeah sure… nice presentation… I went to Apple Store here in Munich and I compared the 2 side by side and besides reflection the glassy display is way better to me. Anyways it’s like taste so no need argue 🤗😉
Disagree. Use it not in a store.
I am always blown away that an inch and a half and less than 2 pounds is really such a thing. Paying as much as we do, if $200 - $300 gives me more screen Real Estate I can find a reason to get disappointed 😂 I’ve tried editing on plane for me, even with the 14” Windows system I was still not comfortable. Once I’m at a Hotel, I am so happy to feel the extra screen space.
I'm so over that. I have no issues using the 14" and editing off of it. I'm doing it now on a plane and I love how small it is. The 16" was a burden while traveling.
Am I first?? NOPE!
Oh, but you are lol
@ThisIsTechToday lol. I said it just in case 😇
Apple new M4 chip destroys intel and AMD in content creation.
@@JayzBeerz Destroy is an extremely strong word buddy
Absolutely slays them. They're inefficient, power hogs and heat generators and M4 can do better than them off the plug without drawing so much power. It is really sad how far behind they are. 😂
Please send me a MacBook or a Laptop please
No Wifi 7 : No buy !
cry harder
I mean, sure, if you find any or have any WiFi 7 access points. That seems like a nit picky thing to make as a deal breaker.
@@ThisIsTechToday it’s far from a dealbreaker for me, but I do find it strange that the base model iphone released before these laptops has better spec’d wifi.
And it’s purely specs, since the iphone won’t
do MLO nor MCS13, which are the main wifi7 benefits, but are optional :)
if you really want to be able to use Divinci or other editing software ... use a PC.
No.
Lose sharpness and color is ashit nano
Heavy plugins and things like magic mask bring all apple silicon to their knees.... integrated graphics is still integrated graphics, sadly a windows laptop with a dedicated 4090 would run circles around all apple silicon in effects.
Not exactly. It's mostly Resolve and how it deals with Text for some reason, especially with plugins from this company. Other plugins work just fine. Otherwise, it's more powerful and FAR MORE efficient than a 4090.
What a great review, but even in your comparison, the standard glossy display looks better than the nano texture option (at least to my eyes). The nano-texture seems to add some foggy reflections which give it a kinda plasticky look that I don’t like … but I heard there is some QD tech in the new displays, I wonder if that applies only to nano-texture and if that is the reason that up-close there is some difference in apparent dynamic range.
Either way, maybe I should see it person as you suggested.
You're looking at the extreme situations that I was intentionally getting. It's all about the angle.
