    In every video that I have seen covering the topic of nano texture that shows a glossy screen adjacent to a nano texture screen, the nano texture is visibly worse, with a distinct drop in the quality of the black levels. Yet every reviewer raves about how 'improved' the nano texture screen is. The issue is very simple, some people like Matt, and some people like glossy. I don't think there is much point in trying to convince anyone either way. For me, it's not even a debate. I buy glossy, and if it were not available for some reason, I would keep the existing computer. Refections? Position the computer so that there aren't any. Boom. Money saved, problem solved, image quality preserved.

      That’s because it’s difficult to convey how effective the nano-texture display is via a UA-cam video. It’s recorded through a camera lens, hits the camera sensor, is color graded, rendered, and then uploaded and compressed via UA-cam. So sometimes the blacks will look hazier/more washed out than in real life.
      If everyone is raving about a feature, it’s usually a good feature… I encourage you to buy both, test side by side, and then form an opinion like I have to see the differences.
      You’re also forgetting to mention the fact that all of the side by side tests you see are in super bright/reflective environments to exaggerate the difference. Sure, maybe the matte screen looks “hazier”, but at least you can still see the screen clearly versus the awful reflections on the glossy.

      I have a matte 32" 4K display I use with my PC.
      My room has black walls.
      The shades are usually rolled down.
      I prefer soft low-light.
      And still, I can sometimes catch a reflection of myself in the monitor.
      I can't imagine ever wanting a glossy display.

      Cant compare videos with real life experience. There's a video by "ArtIsRight" who measured the color accuracy and contrast of both displays using Calibrate and the Nano display not only achieved the same results, but even better ones than the glossy. Colors dont look washed out in real life and text is maybe 5% less clear, something you wont even notice unless you have the devices side by side. But in contrast of that 5% less sharpness you get 90% less reflections and a lot less eyestrain, since you dont need to crank up your brightness so much in order to combat reflections. I never have my display above 40% brightness, even right next to a window. Its insanely good and I would never go back to a glossy screen.

      I went and checked it out in person in the Apple store before pulling the trigger on the M4 MBP, to make the correct decision for myself. And I hated how nano display looked tbh. I'm happy to put up with some reflections for a display that feels more vibrant w better colors. It's all subjective I guess, but I much prefer glossy

    I have 48GB of RAM on my MacBook Pro M4 Pro. It runs better when you don’t use swap as much. Also, the less you use swap, the longer the life of your SSD. The 1TB is nice because if you use swap memory, the drive is fast, so the Mac will be more efficient. I have a 2TB drive. Great video by the way

    • @t87h21
      @t87h21 Годину тому

      @@rbvan Both are great devices and the decision is really very difficult. People now buy a Macbook because it is a great Apple device and less because it is a laptop. Ask yourself how often you are on the go. The 16 inch has a much larger screen, you will notice that it is the better device for stationary use, unfortunately it is much heavier and bulkier. If you notice that you are on the go a lot and no longer want to decide whether to take it with you. I always considered the 16 inch, the 14 inch will be packed straight away without thinking.
      Conclusion: at home you will probably love the 16 inch more, but if it is to be your constant companion (travel, cafe, university, work) the 14 inch is more practical. Of course you can take the 16 inch with you (it is a laptop :) ) but you will often think twice about whether to do it.

      That’s my experience. I got the 14” m4 pro MacBook Pro and while portable I missed the 16” as I traded in my 16” M1 Pro MacBook Pro. I exchanged it for the 16” m4 pro MacBook Pro and it’s so much nicer to use as the display looks just right especially with resolution more comfortably. Also the weight wasn’t that much different! The 14” is still pretty chunky. The speakers are so much nicer too on the 16” and battery life as well.
