I agree, i really wish they stuck with the internal code names that were leaked before these released. It was initially M1, M1X (for M1 Pro), and likely M1Z (for M1 Max). Which would have been much more in line with how they were naming iPad Pro chips before.
I’ve had my 16” M1 Pro for a month and its by far the best fastest computer I’ve ever used. For typical work, web browsing and streaming HD & 4K video I’ve yet to hear the fans spin up even once. At most it gets slightly warm to the touch, never uncomfortably hot. The battery life is incredible. The screen is by far the best I’ve ever seen in a laptop and the sound is by far the best I’ve heard. I’m really happy with it and I’m sure I’ll be using it for years to come.
I've had the MaxBook for a week now. I'm an iOS Engineer. It's the first machine I have ever owned that I know is overkill for my needs. It's beyond good.
There are laptops less than half the price of the Pro Max, which have more powerful GPUs and can actually game as well. *That's* Overkill. Hope you got your mac at a deep discount.
@@Resanctify can those same laptops even get half the battery life? Are they as portable? Do they have as good a screen? These are not for gaming. These are for getting work done. And if this tool makes you money then of course it's worth it.
“But the entire M1 Pro and Max line up has a unique combination of performance, efficiency and endurance, rolled into a form factor that's pleasing to use, with fewer compromises that what we're used to. You're also getting a display that's unmatched in the PC world, speakers that are legitimely some of the best in the industry and a tightly integrated ecosystem that speaks to many. […] Apple is moving in the right direction, and this is a major step towards what could be a brighter future for the industry. After all, wherever Apple goes, the PC surely follows.” I wholeheartedly agree with what Anthony is saying. If I wasn't so attached to the Linux ecosystem and the x86 architecture, I think I would already have bought a new MacBook Pro, despite being anti-Apple since a long time. I am looking forward to laptops with a day long battery (high hopes for the new Intel BIG.little architecture), a screen and speakers as good as the MacBook ones and the shift back to sensible IO, thickness and keyboard travel key.

A laptop cannot be called a laptop when it has to be plugged in all the time, it becomes a desktop. RTX 3080 laptops will drain their 80% battery in 30 minutes if unplugged and high performance mode. Winner: Apple
I’ve been doing some developer focused deep dives into these machines on my channel and so far I’m seeing improvements overall. However, Android specifically still struggles due to compatibility and setup difficulties, especially confusion around what JDKs to use with apple silicon
In my workplace. We use Mac M1 14” for development. We use docker to build our images and push them to the cloud. Compared to my Lenovo legion with Ryzen 4800H. The legion outperform the M1 like 2 - 3x faster using windows environment. Same RAM capacity 16GB and it is much cheaper if you don’t mind the mobility.
@@someonespotatohmm9513 yes. Some of the extensions we use with Postgres doesn’t work in M1 chip. Issues related to QEMU emulation. Some of projects we have just fail to run or hang up without a trace or reason.
I love these new macbooks. Good build quality, amazing screen and speakers, great battery and fast. Might not be the fastest for the price, but if speed was all you cared about, you'd be buying a desktop PC, anyway. Not a notebook. So yeah, these are great products. Only thing that's missing for me is gaming, but I bet lighter titles can be emulated, anyway. I'm sure it can run things like Civ and other grand strategy games so that's already a big part of PC gaming that can't be done on a console... For anything more demanding than that, consoles or a desktop PC will do the job.
Yeah i think the thing with Apple computers is that price per spec doesn't really tell the whole story. Like Anthony kind of pointed out, yes you pay a premium, but what you get rather than the FASTEST CPU and GPU are a CPU/GPU that are fairly close to that, while being drastically more efficient, best in class screen, sound, and Apple ecosystem/software benefits. Not everyone prefers that obviously, and rightfully so, but i feel like calling it overpriced or "more expensive for what you get" is just not accurate because it ignores all the non-CPU/non-GPU intangibles. The only part of these Macs i'd say is really truly overpriced are those ABSURD SSD upgrade prices.
@@VMYeahVN It used to be a tough pill to swallow in the pre M1 era. If you think about it, with the shitty intel chips and amd gpu, they are directly competing with the windows machine counterpart, while being more expensive and having less performance most of the time, not to mention the butt load of problems with the stupid thin old chassis like the keyboard, heat and the display ribbon issue. The M1 is the most significant and here I say it, innovative thing apple has done for years. Along with the new chassis, they are truly a unique product in the premium thin-and-light market now, instead of just being "the same, but worse," like they used to. No one in the windows side can have this kind of efficiency while packing this kind of performance when needed (I think).
Oh yeah, as a dev/designer/photographer the 16" Max has completely changed my workflow overnight. It's faster than my gaming rig from 2014 without breaking a sweat. The real killer feature is that 30 minutes of charging can sustain me for most of my work day. Can't wait to try the new Blender alpha on this thing. Edit: and yeah I've been playing Cities: Skylines on this thing and it's great. So far I got a >30k population city without slowdowns.
While I'm not interested in getting an Apple Macbook since I'm primarily a Linux/Windows 10 user, I do appreciate these unbiased reviews. I have tried MacOS in the past, but I never used it long enough to get a good feel for it. It confused me to no end, so when I built my desktop PC I installed Linux Mint on it to save money as well as an experiment, and so far I don't see the need to install Windows 10/11 on it. If I ever get a job that requires me to use MacOS, then I'll adapt, but for my regular home uses Linux still wins it for me.
I’ve get to use the new 16” at my new internship. It’s heavy, but I don’t notice the notch with how much screen realestate I have. I keep my menu bar because of the notch, and it does help with checking the time and such. Love the size of the trackpad and I quickly adapted to the keyboard. I’m actually tempted to upgrade my personal 2014 MacBook Pro to another Mac given my experience. The only issue I have is if I still need x86 applications and can’t remote into my windows pc. For the past 3 years I had been looking seriously at leaving the Apple ecosystem, at least for my laptop. Now, we’ll see…
As great as the current Macs are, I’m still baffled by the storage. 250GB is just not enough, and the upgrades to 500GB or 1TB are kinda ridiculously expensive for what they are. Do Apple really expect me to believe that a 1TB M.2 costs hundreds of pounds? Again, great tech, they just ruined it a little bit by scamming us out of storage like this imo
"If anything remotely resembling the Apple logo makes you recoil in disgust, you're probably looking for reasons to hate it instead." That pretty much sums up the Apple-hating, tinfoil-hat wearing crowd. BTW, nice time for a Linus cameo.
As someone who had genuine reasons to dislike Apple in the past, I now have an iPhone, iPad Pro 12.9 2021, and am looking for a new arm based Mac. They’ve genuinely improved so much since the 2016 MacBook and iPhone 7 era.
i literally show off how good the new macbook pros where I work to customers. they sound so much better in person this video just doesn't do them justice
Fundamental lesson, like with most Apple products, already fantastic hardware that is only going to get even better for free as the software gets optimised. We are still only at version 12.1 with Monterey and Apple has already made my basic MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro jump up a notch (pun intended). This is the most amazing laptop I have ever experienced and is easily taking over all my other desktops. I am just waiting on delivery of my new 4k display to set it up as a killer workstation. I can attach just about anything to it and it doesn't even raise a sweat. It is so nice not having to worry about what goes in what port, nor how many. Plenty of power and plenty of speed. I was waiting on the new large display M2 iMac Pro, which is now due next year, but unless it does something truly amazing I'm not sure I will need it. Apple may have killed off some potential sales by giving us everything we need in one model.
i think a year or two later these same machines will shine bright like a diamond when all the software support would have been updated for apple silicon and just use a manual fan control and boom you get best laptop ever
If apps are not optimized for the platform and hardware they run on they can’t run faster or take advantage of the hardware they are using. This is why older games normally use a single CPU core because they were not built, not optimized, for multicore CPUS. These M1 chips are built on ARM and it requires apps to be build differently than for traditional computer architecture. This is the SAME on windows on arm. Reading through these comments it’s obvious how a lot of LTT viewers lack basic understanding of computers and software.
World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft?!?!?!?!!?! It's native, many people still play, all I wanted was LTT to benchmark it on all M1 Macs
I love that Anthony is an unabashed Linux fan and also an unabashed Apple fan. Maybe he's just a Unix fan? Either way, it's cool that he doesn't discount either because he likes the other.
A big mac is better because it leaves you with a wider width, it can sit on your tummy more comfortably and if you don't want it right now, it will be perfectly fine later on despite being a bit cold. So head on over to your nearest McApple, you won't regret it
Anthony, you just re-confirmed every reason I bought the 16” MacBook Pro M1. As expensive as it is…I feel it’s worth the money! It’s the best laptop experience I’ve ever had! 😎🤩
I love Anthony because of his honesty. I have seen so many people praise these machines in general but they do not realize it is still not a replacement for those who need a beefy GPU. It is very impressive indeed BUT it will not replace a laptop with an RTX3080 for sure. If you are a video editor and work with FCP then sure it is a great machine.
I forgot LTT got like $30k worth of apple laptops then waited till everyone in the world did a in depth deep dive on them, only for LTT to do a couple of videos about them months latter. Good job?
Even though it's a $200 difference, and I feel stupid, I have the 14 maxed out and I love it. I wish the difference was higher so I could feel better about it, but it does really just come down to aesthetics and personal preference. It's nice to be able to hold the computer with three fingers when moving it around and still have nearly all of the power of the larger model. I wish they had made the 16 inch model a 15 inch model, with a smaller chassis, that would've been perfect. 16 is just too big.
People need to understand that the M1 max does match the 100W 3080 in a razer blade.....When fully optimized, metal, native apple arm and taking full advantage of their unified memory architecture....the software industry has been built around Intel/Nvidia/AMD for 2 decades now....give it time, we are seeing continuous massive improvements from many different software as developers optimize....by the M3 Pro/Max it should be mostly worked out. Also the M1 max gpu uses 40 to 45 watts max....Many gaming laptops, like the zephyrus m16 use literally double that, 80 to 90W for it's 3060.....and it can't maintain that power unplugged, while the MacBook performance doesn't change on battery. If Apple wanted they could have shoved 64 gpu cores at 80 to 90 watts instead of 32 cores at 40 to 45 watts, it would match the most powerful laptops even without optimization, the problem is that the 64 core macbook will now start acting like windows laptops, hot, loud and moderately reduced performance on battery. Im definitely excited for the future of Apple Silicon.
This video proves that them naming it the M1 Max was a bad idea. There were so many points in this video that I had to think for a second on if he was saying Max or Macs.
1:10 that's true, hdmi is limited to 4k@60, but you can do 4k@144 with type c to display port adapter (just need to make sure you get a correct one which supports that)
Asked my uncle for a base model MacBook Air m2 15", he dropped a bomb saying he's got a 16" MacBook pro M1 pro high end model sitting at his house🗿 grateful for it but surprised...
fee comments: 1. You should test the 16inch behaviour when High Power mode is enabled 2. Mentioning which varient of GPU Z16 uses would be helpful 3. Could you test out OctaneX in next videos?
Thank you for this, Anthony! Indeed Apple engineers are impressive and good at what they do. This is indeed a great stepping stone for PowerBooks and tech world as a whole. That said, I know thermal capacity on the larger 16” was gonna help reduce throttling, but it appears not by much. Still, it’s exciting to see what a couple of years is gonna look like!
I think that 13/14/15 is really the sweet spot. I had a 17 LG and that thing was unwieldy even under 3 pounds. Also I don't know how Canadians can stomach using those ice-cold metal laptops, where I live it doesn't get nearly that cold and if I forgot to wrap my notebook under a blanket or sleeve the night before I hated touching it in the morning lol

Anthony, you just re-confirmed every reason I bought the 16” MacBook Pro M1. As expensive as it is…I feel it’s worth the money! It’s the best laptop experience I’ve ever had! 😎🤩
You killed me bro with your comment of the resize on Photoshop 3:33 LOL
11:33 Thank you Anthony. Now I know I will get the 14" Pro
Don't ask me why... but
I can't wait for the Seasonic ad spot
Okay great review, but hold up, can we TALK about your gorgeous Nixie clock on your desk!?
Those dancing crabs were awesome… well played. 🦀😎
we need a video about watercooling M1 macs
Getting my M1 macbook pro 14 inch which is also my first macbook today really excited 😊😊
Yeah, Anthony with that Chippendales Mac intro.
2 extra inches of _mac_... is a _big_.... difference - so you're telling me this is a **puts on sunglasses** WHOPPER?
2 extra inches ANYWHERE is a big difference
I've been told that extra couple inches makes the difference between OOH and AHHHH....
Love the subtle reference to the 1000$ stand at 13:09
01:57 running the finger, dave2d style 😊
Why not use the opportunity to call this video "2 extra inches of Mac is a BIG Mac!👀
All I'm saying is give you editor a raise
I love Anthony because of his honesty. I have seen so many people praise these machines in general but they do not realize it is still not a replacement for those who need a beefy GPU. It is very impressive indeed BUT it will not replace a laptop with an RTX3080 for sure. If you are a video editor and work with FCP then sure it is a great machine.
Anyone know the song name at 12.20 ?
I hate how small the dbrand apple cutouts are, especially when you put them side by side with the MacBook Pros without the skin
Making Anthony present this one makes it so much better
I forgot LTT got like $30k worth of apple laptops then waited till everyone in the world did a in depth deep dive on them, only for LTT to do a couple of videos about them months latter. Good job?
16 inch laptops are just unwieldy if you actually want something portable. 14-15 inches is the sweet spot.
Even though it's a $200 difference, and I feel stupid, I have the 14 maxed out and I love it. I wish the difference was higher so I could feel better about it, but it does really just come down to aesthetics and personal preference. It's nice to be able to hold the computer with three fingers when moving it around and still have nearly all of the power of the larger model.
I wish they had made the 16 inch model a 15 inch model, with a smaller chassis, that would've been perfect. 16 is just too big.
People need to understand that the M1 max does match the 100W 3080 in a razer blade.....When fully optimized, metal, native apple arm and taking full advantage of their unified memory architecture....the software industry has been built around Intel/Nvidia/AMD for 2 decades now....give it time, we are seeing continuous massive improvements from many different software as developers optimize....by the M3 Pro/Max it should be mostly worked out.
Also the M1 max gpu uses 40 to 45 watts max....Many gaming laptops, like the zephyrus m16 use literally double that, 80 to 90W for it's 3060.....and it can't maintain that power unplugged, while the MacBook performance doesn't change on battery.
If Apple wanted they could have shoved 64 gpu cores at 80 to 90 watts instead of 32 cores at 40 to 45 watts, it would match the most powerful laptops even without optimization, the problem is that the 64 core macbook will now start acting like windows laptops, hot, loud and moderately reduced performance on battery.
Im definitely excited for the future of Apple Silicon.
This video proves that them naming it the M1 Max was a bad idea. There were so many points in this video that I had to think for a second on if he was saying Max or Macs.
so basically it is, more powerful and 30% bigger
Would like to know What's the performance of Zephyrus compared to Macbook, when it's not plugged.
1:10 that's true, hdmi is limited to 4k@60, but you can do 4k@144 with type c to display port adapter (just need to make sure you get a correct one which supports that)
Asked my uncle for a base model MacBook Air m2 15", he dropped a bomb saying he's got a 16" MacBook pro M1 pro high end model sitting at his house🗿 grateful for it but surprised...
It’s not about size, it’s about how you use it
Now they only need a good OS
I have a cool challenge for you for a next video
Turn a wired keyboard that has soldered switches and make it wireless and hotswappable xD
Anthony is and will remain an IT god.
I would like him to make a video about KDE and the Android integration via KDE-Connect.
2 extra inches make a BIG difference is what they told me.
its like comparing 4 inches to 6
Hey @linus tech tips can you show us a video on how to build a beginner pc that isn’t two expensive but still can stream and play high FPS games
16" vs 14" spinning up the fan later, would thermal pad to the chassis make the fan ramp more aggressively, giving the 16" and appreciable advantage?
It’s not the size that matters, but how many RGB lights it has 😏
Will consider when Asahi is ready
What Mic do you guys use. I'm always impressed with how clean and even your audio sounds.
$99 for a zip up hoodie with interior pockets is a bit much guys, come on now.
The M1 is much faster than a 12900k for OSRS via the Runelite client that everybody uses, btw
Thank you for what you do!
fee comments:
1. You should test the 16inch behaviour when High Power mode is enabled
2. Mentioning which varient of GPU Z16 uses would be helpful
3. Could you test out OctaneX in next videos?
The Zephyrus M16 is specced with a 3060.
I wouldn't have picked Anthony for a size queen, but... Here we are.
Do you guys plan to review the new AOC Agon Pro AG324UX?
Looks like a sick monitor.
A well-made review of yours could come in handy.
HIs voice is soothing for some reason. I could listen to him read me a book
Oh how it makes me giggle to have ifixit sponsor and video about an Apple product
Nice, More SoCs, less reparability.
the Pro's fan speed is based on CHASSIS temperature rather than CPU temperature? wtf apple
You sure had to put "of Mac" on the title🤣
I just watched this vid for anthony ,despite having zero understanding of the vid lol
Thank you for this, Anthony! Indeed Apple engineers are impressive and good at what they do. This is indeed a great stepping stone for PowerBooks and tech world as a whole.
That said, I know thermal capacity on the larger 16” was gonna help reduce throttling, but it appears not by much. Still, it’s exciting to see what a couple of years is gonna look like!

I think that 13/14/15 is really the sweet spot. I had a 17 LG and that thing was unwieldy even under 3 pounds. Also I don't know how Canadians can stomach using those ice-cold metal laptops, where I live it doesn't get nearly that cold and if I forgot to wrap my notebook under a blanket or sleeve the night before I hated touching it in the morning lol
@0:25 dang Tony... lol. why you gotta diss mee like dat!?!?!?!? j/k asalwaystyforyourhardworkanddedication!!!
You can do 4K120 over DisplayPort no problem
love my 16" MacBook Pro
