  • My review of the best MacBook in 2021. The new Apple MacBook Pro with M1 Max and M1 Pro chips. The 14" and 16" MacBook Pro are built with professionals in mind but could be used for laptop gaming.

      @jonathansacci2325 2 роки тому +38

      @@godofbiscuitssf I agree with that. If you look at comparisons on Dell XPS' and Alienwares, Razer Blades, and what not. All the same price. So, I really do think that "Too expensive" labeling needs to go away. For what you get it's not. No laptop display comes close to these machines.

    • @Tom-hj4zo
      @Tom-hj4zo 2 роки тому +15

      ​@@jonathansacci2325 If you need really long battery life combined with an excellent display then yes, these are the best on the market and so the price is justified. If you need xcode then you don't really have a choice and you just need to bite the bullet get the spec you need to do your work.
      But for many uses, like non-ios software development, these laptops are not great value for money once you consider the non-base models. Which you will since 16GB is not enough these days. Even premium laptops like XPS are much cheaper on higher specced configs (at least in my part of the world) and if you're OK with something like the Asus G15 you're even better off.

    I’ve bought the 16” version and I absolutely love it. First MBP was bought in 2015, second the touch bar model in 2018. 2015 model felt like a tank, a real professional tool, loved it. 2018 Touch Bar model was really nice, but had lost the “tank like feel”, felt flimsy and I hated the keyboard. This is a real return to what a MBP should be, an absolute tank of a machine that you can depend on. I’m a web developer so don’t need blistering performance, I just need a workhorse. The MagSafe charging is a real unexpected bonus, one of the USB ports broke on my touch bar model. This feels like it’s been designed by engineers, not designers. (No offence to designers, design is very important).

      "-so many people with top end MBPs but use them like Chromebooks." that hurts my tech-geek core. Haha But, in all honesty, even for myself, I think I wouldn't really benefit from having so many GPUs like there are for these new MacBooks. My current workflow is with Microsoft Word, Edge (using Windows at the moment), and some photo work with PowerPoint (very basic poster work). Personally, I think I'd just want this for gaming, if ever MacBooks can be wholly supported for gaming (but seeing Overwatch playing at 120 FPS is just nuts!).

      These new macs have an amazing screen, power efficiency and are ultra quiet, but the price tag is HUGE.
      I was hoping that this M1 Max would perform at 3080 level as apple claimed (even in games) so I can grab one and even price tag would be not as bad at this point, but its not, so I think Ill stick with something like M16 for more than half the price.

    40?! I know that’s not actually all that old, but you look so much younger. Edit: On another note, I really appreciate the more down to earth approach to reviewing these, and that unless you have a clear need/use-case for these tools that you shouldn’t buy them. Sounds obvious, but sometimes you get caught up in all the hype and just want it to have it, so you really helped me decide I don’t actually need one. I do video edit and use many Adobe products, but seeing as how the MacBooks aren’t specifically better in that regard than a top end windows machine kinda pushed me off the fence. I do seriously enjoy the Apple aesthetic, but not for that price.

    The "you don't need this" at the end is so true! I have a 16" Intel MBP that's nearly fully speced, and I had no intentions/still have no intentions on upgrading this generation. I use my MBP for music production, and photography. I do sometimes feel the need to upgrade, especially if I'm making a large photoshop project, or exporting 100 Tiff files or making a crazy experimental song, but that just doesn't happen enough, and it doesn't impede my life enough to make it worth the upgrade. It does get annoying, but it probably happens a handful of times a month, and might save an hour or two throughout the year. The $4-5k I'm saving by not buying a new MBP is definitely worth the wasted time.

    Dave: "They're tools. That's all they are."
    Me: "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave."
    Seriously, that was a very blunt, refreshing message to the masses. Mister Rogers is nodding in approval.

      I’m sorry Dave, but I’m afraid I can’t do that 😂👍

    Found your videos looking for info on the zenbook duo. We are the same age and I really like that you are to the point and easy to follow. Subbed and going through your old vids as well. Mahalo and have a wonderful day 🌺

    Dave's reviews have the highest quality content / min density of any YT review. No BS. No boring irrelevant intros. Immediately hits all the relevant issues that we all want to hear about. Thank you Dave for doing God's work.
