misha lw depending on what you do yeah. I have a 16gb Ram with 256gb ssd for my Software Engineering degree and it’s very good. (13 inch) You can always hook up an external Hdd if you want more space. But installing programs on hdd is not so convenient
@@kimjeyong2474 I use so many virtual machines, docker image etc that the 1TB SSD is a must + 32GB ram min for real world dev. Even then I would go 64GB ram and 2TB just to make sure it is proofed for the next few years.
Got the base model. I can run Final Cut Pro with a web browser open with 20 tabs and have a VM running in the background and have 0 noticeable lag. Maybe the full spec model could process video a little faster but I'm good with this.
Michael Schechner thank you. This is exactly what I needed to know. I just ordered my laptop solely off of your comment. Should get here Tuesday! Thanks again.
Antonio José I’ve had it for a few days and I’ve had my Sims game running while using Final Cut Pro with several browser windows open, with other applications such as Numbers, Calendar and Notes... I happened to only be using 11gb out of the 16gb of memory and no lagging at all. It did seem to get a lil hot but thee fans kicked in pretty fast. If you’re doing more than this at once then absolutely upgrade it but as for me, the base specs are prefect.
Thanks for your advise. I use for work, mainly Final Cut but while I’m working, I normally only have final cut and Mail opened. I’m just reading from many sites that 32gb does not make much difference yet but thinking that I’m going to do video, idk. It’s 450€ more for the ram upgrade, pretty expensive in my opinion.
@@ajrc1987 When I use FCPX on my laptop I can get it using up to 11GB of RAM, I have also had Lightroom using up to 8GB of RAM and Photoshop using 5GB of RAM, so there are times when 32GB is needed if you are using all 3 programs at once. I did some stress testing with FCPX, Lightroom, Photoshop and then Chrome playing UA-cam videos as well as some MSword documents open and the laptop used about 29GB of RAM, so I think 32GB is enough for most people. 64GB would be overkill for most. 32GB does make a difference though for using multiple high end programs, 16GB would bottle neck if you have all of those apps open and each would only be using 3 GB each.
I finally decided, after a long time, to go with the base model. Even though I am more or less a light user (making sheets for pupils/students, surfing, browsing, once in a while I am editing a video) but I always fared best with Apple buying hardware that is overpowered at the moment of the purchase but 5-6 years down the road... it pays off
Started my channel at the end of 2019, hoping I can have the growth you had in a little over a year! I am editing all my vids on my 10.5” iPad Pro. Thinking the MacBook Pro will be on my wishlist later this year! Good vid👍🏻
I also have a 2012 with 2 SSD's inside and 16gb RAM, still fully functional. I changed recently to a 16' model because I needed more power and the change is crazy.. This thing is a beast... definitely worth every penny.
I’m rocking a late 2013 15 inch retina as well. Probably the most bomb proof laptop I’ve owned! Definitely a classic in the MacBook lineup! I just bought a base 16 so will see how we go.
@@majesticdragonfly Then wait for 10th and 11th Intel Cores, wait for ARM processors, wait for new design, new battery ...... in new techs world, if you wait you never buy.
Base model good enough. I will upgrade the SSD to 1 TB. That is good enough for my 4K UA-cam video editing. My current 2013 MBA is too sluggish for editing 4K video. Thanks to you, now I know what to buy.
Great video! Great comparison! I usually watch Max Yuryev’s videos when it comes to Macbooks, but I found your videos just as informative as they are & detailed. Well done Sub & like 👍🏽💯
The intro was just like Jim sending Dwight faxes. From himself. From the future. Juan, at 9:30AM on February 20, 2020 the stock market will crash. Buy no more stock until after it recovers. Sincerely, Future Juan
Unless you are doing some video editing and need the few seconds/minutes that the higher end model puts out, the base model is totally fine and works in most situations
in the exact same position, i have the 2015, 2.2ghz quad core i7 (4th gen) with 16gb ram. can you help me chose between the 2 available 16" in 2020? one has 2.6ghz 6 core i7, the other has 2.3ghz 8 core i9... i don't really know much about those specs it's a bit foreign to me... but what i can say is that im a graphic designer, i use photoshop, illustrator, sketch as softwares. i'm not a gamer. should i get the 6 core one (cheaper) or the 8 core one (more expensive)? also, the 6 core one has more ghz than the 8 core one, does this mean the 8 core one isn't as good? a little confused... thanks!
Julio F. Calderón Not for me. I maxed out everything except for the 4 Tb SSD. Fabulous performance! I work with very large datasets: millions of rows with hundreds of columns of information.
Julio F. Calderón The software will either be cloud-based or will work nicely on the basic MBP. (Students don’t usually get into the kind of complex/large problems that require more powerful machines.)
great feedback, i do software development and had to crunch some numbers from time to time. for you guys cores, vram and ram are blood ( as it is for 3d artists )
And with this new decade brings me the Pandemic and a new 16” MacBook Pro 🥳 . I bought the base model with upgraded the video memory to 5500M w/ 4GB of GDDR6 memory 🙋🏻♀️ .
amazing review, still wondering about what to do. 32GB RAM is the most have start thinking process for this MBP. would make no sense to go for 16gb RAM.
I’m so much happier having upgraded to 64 GB RAM. I usually run 32 programs simultaneously. Flipping back and forth between them is much faster than on 16 GB RAM. And you can hold larger segments of video and photos on 64 GB RAM which speeds up processing tremendously.
I'm wondering whether to spend the extra to upgrade to 32gb of ram - all the videos i've watched of 16gb ram macbooks perform no problem - and then they always say upgrade it! I usually only have fcpx, lightroom and chrome open, I do edit videos very regularly but its expensive to upgrade the ram if I don't need it and aren't running multiple intensive programs at once - can you give me some advice?!
I got the base 16inch model for the occasional video and photo editing project. I have a UA-cam channel but its more of a hobby and I upgrade from a super old 2012 Macbook pro 13 inch. That was like going from a game boy color to an Xbox One X lol. I kind of wish I would have upgraded the storage for piece of mind, but I dont mind using a external SSD for storing large files. Great comparison, this makes me feel really good for going with the base model, and I got super lucky that Best Buy had it on a $300 sale for $2099.
This is the video I was looking for a month, btw, I do not dare to play games on my mbp 16 cause once I was playing age of empire 3, and right after the game was running, the fan kicked in and the mac became like super hot~~~
I have the 16” with i9 + 5500m 4gb. I’m putting together a video now, but I found a way in bootcamp to limit the CPU frequency, and it keeps the CPU/GPU temps at around 80c max even when playing demanding games like Red Dead Redemption 2. Windows can’t see the fans because of the T2 chip in the MacBook. You need to set a manual fan speed in MacOS using an app called macsfancontrol and then ‘restart’ into Windows, not shut down, and the fans will keep running at that constant speed for that part of the equation.
Considering how much more the maxed out MacBook Pro is for me it’s not worth it. 80% more money for 20% more performance? I don’t think so, plus if you’re going to spend 3-4K on a MacBook just get an iMac. You’ll get far better performance for the same price if portability isn’t an issue
I am using i9 with 16 gb ram and 4gb graphics card 5500 and 1 tb ssd drive..... I am graphics designer.... time to time I feel that software like after effect and illustrator didn't run very well compare to my office iMac....... I feel that I make a bad decision for not upgrading my ram and graphics card to 8 gb and 32 gb ram :(
I got the base i9 on sale on Amazon a couple of weeks ago. I gets warm but the hottest I have found it was about 112 F. If they get 100 C that will burn you. Those geekbench scores are just numbers. Most people won't notice much difference using it day to day
Looks like if I decide to get the 16" as the desktop replacement I better get the fully-spec'ed one to be more future proof. My trash can MP is still working fine but of course it doesn't hurt to have something newer to play with ;)
I'm learning how to video edit, mostly 1080P footage but will probably edit 4k next year. Obviously, I'm going for the base but is it worth it to upgrade to 32GB RAM or the 5500M 4GB, 5500M 8GB?
What configuration of MacBook Pro 16 should I take for gaming? (no competition but still the best experience possible on macOS while having a good bang for buck)
Great video man!!, So for programming, virtual machines, and gaming. What the spec I need to take? I thought about 2.3Ghz i9, 32GB ram, and 5500m 4gb graphic. You think I need to improve to 5500m 8GB graphics? What about the CPU its worth upgrade to 2.4Ghz i9? and what about the ram to 64GB? I'm really confused because you can't upgrade after you order the MacBook pro. Thank.
i personally was thinking on just upgrading the graphics card to 8gb on the base i9 ( 1tb 16 ram ) im currently on a windows with 16 of ram, 4gb video, i7U(dual core) 1tb DD and im not complaining for backend and even some small front end. but i can see im lagging behind when i need to build large frontend codebases. chrome and VSE eat a lot of ram but im used to be cautious of how i use my resources. ( i use the ipad to play videos and stuff that i dont need to run on my main ) would be nice to have 32ram but thats a resource i can manage by myself by being conscious of what i run
I've been using my 2015 MBP 15" 2.5Ghz I7. bought the 2.3 Ghz, 64GB Ram, 2 TB... Battery only lasted 3 hours just using safari. Not sure if it was a bad computer or not... Returned it. Also, I didn't notice anything spectacular as far as speed.
So I made a smart decision of buying the base model with just upgrading the 8GB GPU and to 32GB of ram on the base model. Don't waste money on anything else, 512GB I'm more than enough for installing a bunch of apps, everything else can go on external SSD's.
Think that I am going for the same config. i7, with 32RAM, and 8GPU...enough for the future....don't need the super super fast i9, but RAM& GPU....better to be generous..right? thx for your feedback.
Does the trackpad feel different on your machines? I mean the matte finish and the friction or are they exactly similar? I get a lot of friction on mine.
@@chrisleong1046 exactly, I purchased the base model didn't upgrade anything because b&h has it on sale and it's no sales tax when I order from them since I'm in Florida I've had it since Thursday and it works well I've used premiere, after effects and photoshop all open at the same time with no lag
We are testing two new 16-inch MacBook's before doing a rollout across our organization. Under low loads (25% cpu utilization), fan noise will get annoyingly loud. We're not doing any GPU related and more routine work such as: using web applications, debugging web pages, Microsoft Teams conferencing (audio/video) with a handful of people, Photos downloading from iCloud, Mac Mail downloading a new mailbox from Exchange. We DID NOT notice this on our 2015 MacBooks and this might prevent us from continuing the 16-inch MacBook rollout in our organization. Interested to hear others experiences.

My question: You always say that the graph card is so important in the final cut X differents tests, but the 64 rams must have much importance to. What do you think?
Hi, good video. I have a question. How much difference will the performance be reduced by 20 percent today when comparing the best specification CTO with the best basic 16GB/5500M 4GB model?
I get that most people aren't going to understand or care about the role that each piece of equipment is going to play tasks like video rendering, animation (2D and 3D), photo editing, and such; but I would still appreciate it if reviewers would take the time to provide an extremely brief explanation what each test is doing in the systems being tested, and why the upgrade is going to impact the test. Telling people that a better graphics card is going to improve render times for Animators and Video Editors isn't accurate; that's a CPU issue, and the performance of this particular CPU isn't overwhelming. The performance shown in this video should tell artists that Apple simply isn't selling them a very powerful laptop.
General rule of thumb: if you don't already know you need a maxed out i9, then you don't need it. If you need really heavy processor power for video and photo editing, you are better off getting a desktop to go with a lower-spec laptop.
pure on $$ vs performance it still seems the base model is much better value (not to mention you get all the same non-performance based hardware - screen/speakers/keys etc). Really if you're paying another quarter of the base price on top you should get more out of it imo. I'm happy with my base model anyway.
yeah i think base is the way to go. in 2 or 3 years the newer MacBooks will be again 25-50% faster then the best mbp today. I don't think its worth for a few sec in rendering to max out this laptop. .
Hey, thanks for the vídeo! Is the 16” a good choice for After Effects? I have this computer in its base model and I use it for music production, but I don't know if I should buy a different one for after effects (lyric vídeos and some basic fx’s)
Back then Apple brought new features because they are life-changing. Now they make new things such as touch bar for the sake of marketing a new product for sale.
I'm here to say that you spoke way too soon about the stock market not crashing.
Alex Rizzo yep he jinxed it
@@ShayaanAzeem totally way to soon . say safe everyone
My thoughts exactly.. then I read this comment!
first thing I thought haha!
He caused the pandemic to happen, all the governments in the world believed his words.
Who died laughing when he opened the vid saying we hopefully won't have a stock market crash lol!
i was about to comment that omg
Haha
same here hahaha
the foreshadowing
SAMEEEE HAHAHHAHAHHA. NOSTRADAMUS
I like how he says it's the roaring 20's without the stock market crash a month later crash!
So, basically, 80% more price for 20% more performance. Nah, I think I'm good with the base model.
512gb is enough?
misha lw
depending on what you do yeah.
I have a 16gb Ram with 256gb ssd for my Software Engineering degree and it’s very good.
(13 inch)
You can always hook up an external Hdd if you want more space. But installing programs on hdd is not so convenient
@@kimjeyong2474 the base model of the 16 inch MBP has 500 GB SSD, so that should be plenty for software.

James Wrightson yeah but I was talking about if you go to university and still starting out then lower specs should do fine

I'm really confused because you can't upgrade after you order the MacBook pro.
Thank.
i personally was thinking on just upgrading the graphics card to 8gb on the base i9 ( 1tb 16 ram )
im currently on a windows with 16 of ram, 4gb video, i7U(dual core) 1tb DD and im not complaining for backend and even some small front end.
but i can see im lagging behind when i need to build large frontend codebases.
chrome and VSE eat a lot of ram but im used to be cautious of how i use my resources.
( i use the ipad to play videos and stuff that i dont need to run on my main )
would be nice to have 32ram but thats a resource i can manage by myself by being conscious of what i run
I've been using my 2015 MBP 15" 2.5Ghz I7. bought the 2.3 Ghz, 64GB Ram, 2 TB... Battery only lasted 3 hours just using safari. Not sure if it was a bad computer or not... Returned it. Also, I didn't notice anything spectacular as far as speed.
0:12 Well. The stock market crashed 😂😂
So I made a smart decision of buying the base model with just upgrading the 8GB GPU and to 32GB of ram on the base model. Don't waste money on anything else, 512GB I'm more than enough for installing a bunch of apps, everything else can go on external SSD's.
Think that I am going for the same config. i7, with 32RAM, and 8GPU...enough for the future....don't need the super super fast i9, but RAM& GPU....better to be generous..right? thx for your feedback.

Does the trackpad feel different on your machines? I mean the matte finish and the friction or are they exactly similar? I get a lot of friction on mine.
Great comparison video you're saving me a couple of bucks I'll go for the base model and upgrade to 8GB of DDR6
@@chrisleong1046 exactly, I purchased the base model didn't upgrade anything because b&h has it on sale and it's no sales tax when I order from them since I'm in Florida I've had it since Thursday and it works well I've used premiere, after effects and photoshop all open at the same time with no lag
We are testing two new 16-inch MacBook's before doing a rollout across our organization. Under low loads (25% cpu utilization), fan noise will get annoyingly loud. We're not doing any GPU related and more routine work such as: using web applications, debugging web pages, Microsoft Teams conferencing (audio/video) with a handful of people, Photos downloading from iCloud, Mac Mail downloading a new mailbox from Exchange.
We DID NOT notice this on our 2015 MacBooks and this might prevent us from continuing the 16-inch MacBook rollout in our organization.
Interested to hear others experiences.

My question:
You always say that the graph card is so important in the final cut X differents tests, but the 64 rams must have much importance to. What do you think?
Hi, good video.
I have a question.
How much difference will the performance be reduced by 20 percent today when comparing the best specification CTO with the best basic 16GB/5500M 4GB model?
The roaring 20s really caught my boy slippin 😂😂🤣😂
I get that most people aren't going to understand or care about the role that each piece of equipment is going to play tasks like video rendering, animation (2D and 3D), photo editing, and such; but I would still appreciate it if reviewers would take the time to provide an extremely brief explanation what each test is doing in the systems being tested, and why the upgrade is going to impact the test. Telling people that a better graphics card is going to improve render times for Animators and Video Editors isn't accurate; that's a CPU issue, and the performance of this particular CPU isn't overwhelming. The performance shown in this video should tell artists that Apple simply isn't selling them a very powerful laptop.
I still can't decide!!! Will the i7 still be good enough in future? Price range vs specs in Europe is much more different then in the US.
I think the i7 is enough for the next 7-9 years so I got the i7 one and AppleCare+ instead of the i9 one.
Probably, but in case of you like to sell it someday it should be better marketable with higher specs
it will be fine, all the large MacBook pros would keep me happy for 5 years
General rule of thumb: if you don't already know you need a maxed out i9, then you don't need it. If you need really heavy processor power for video and photo editing, you are better off getting a desktop to go with a lower-spec laptop.
@@neyland94 absolute! Though I got the base model and it's more than good😀
7:53 what are the settings? I can't see them well
I saw “ultra quality”
Good great information !
Excellent video! Can you please do a review on the CoverBuddy cases from SwitchEasy?
I would like to know if they’re worth it or not! Thank you 💕
pure on $$ vs performance it still seems the base model is much better value (not to mention you get all the same non-performance based hardware - screen/speakers/keys etc). Really if you're paying another quarter of the base price on top you should get more out of it imo.
I'm happy with my base model anyway.
yeah i think base is the way to go. in 2 or 3 years the newer MacBooks will be again 25-50% faster then the best mbp today. I don't think its worth for a few sec in rendering to max out this laptop. .
So I bought the i9 5500 today!
“Roaring 20’s” 😂 as the kids say, this didn’t age well!
Great content, I will use it as reference if people ask me what to buy
wow so maybe my best option is base cpu 32gb ram and the 5500m on education discount (brothers a teacher) That outdoor test really says a lot.
How much is the education discount? Is it similar to student discount?
Horacio Estrada it’s OK Google Apple education to get that version of the Apple store.
Hey, thanks for the vídeo! Is the 16” a good choice for After Effects? I have this computer in its base model and I use it for music production, but I don't know if I should buy a different one for after effects (lyric vídeos and some basic fx’s)
damn dude u jinx the world there
Oh boy 2020....he had no idea what kind of kick in the nuts was coming
Back then Apple brought new features because they are life-changing. Now they make new things such as touch bar for the sake of marketing a new product for sale.
