Ironic, but a reflection of the good times we live in. Some years ago no one would've recommended the base version macbook air or the hottest i9 macbook pro. Right now, whatever you buy, you'll be happy with.
Bought a used one on eBay a month ago. 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, applecare+, 90% battery health, all for $1400. Super happy with it. Only downside is that I wish it was silver, not Space gray…
that's what isay to people who want to buy one. Really, if you just want to work peacefully on it and not do anything that needs massive power, just take am1 macbook air. It will be fine for a long time.
In some countries you can get an M1 Air for around 550 - 600$ on promo slaes. If you don't do heavy duty stuff, this is the best 600 bucks you'll ever spend!
it’s the worst choice. It has a defect that lets too much dust into the screen, which breaks it. There’s thousands of threads on it and a class action lawsuit on it
@@BlubbluhI have literally 5 MacBook Air M1s between my house and my parents and none of them have had this issue. This is one of apples most popular laptops (maybe the most popular?) ever so just because a small amount of people have had that problem does not mean that it is significant statistically.
In my use case I use my MBP for office work, some video editing and photo editing, drive a pair of displays at home and work out of a pickup during the day. I had the 10/24/32 M1 Max in a 16". The size was a deal killer. I traded it for a 14" M3 Pro MBP 12/18/18 and have never regretted the decision. Moral of the story, I didn't need as much horse power as I thought, and I really should have spent more time considering the size and weight. Wish I would have originally bought the 14" M1 Pro instead, but super happy with the M3 Pro MBP 14" (and the space black is Cool!)
If i had the need for a beast like that. I would be very happy too. I have not and are very happy with my 16 M1 Pro with only 16GB. I would however have to upgrade to a max model if I need a significant performance boost in FCP but I don’t. Happy for you
@@mejlgaardbliddal That's the exact model I upgraded from and to be honest it still performed awesomely. The reason that I upgraded is because in my work I need all the cores I can get, so it made sense for me. If not for that I agree I would stay with the M1 Pro and be perfectly happy for years to come!! Keep enjoying that machine!
Still got the M1 Pro 14” MacBook Pro (binned), still can’t get the fan to run loud, and performs amazingly fast. I mainly use figma, vs code, photoshop.
I recently picked up an open box M3 Pro 14in for about $1500 from Best Buy. It was listed as fair w/major scratches. Upon inspection, there were absolutely no scratches or blemishes. I picked it up and it was totally dead. But after charging I checked the battery and capacity is 100% and it had less than 10 charge cycles. At that price it was a no brainer vs the Air w/16GB and 512GB ssd
I need very lightweight portability for full time, carryon-only intl travel (my camera/drone/accessories take up a lot of weight/space) with ability to edit YT type videos in DaVinci. I know I should probably go with the pro m3 pro but I like the 15 MBA for screen size and weight. Can MBA handle the job? I also carry an M2 iPad Pro 11” for general, everyday use. Thanks…
Which macbook would you recommend for my use case: Full stack developer freelancer on both web app and mobile application Also am running my youtube channel related to coding only so no extreme level animation just basic video editing and also working on ui ux design part!
Is the 16 inch too big overall and it's better getting the 14 inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro? Also, should I go ford the base 512GB and get an external SSD too, or just get the 1TB storage?
Hello, I'm currently using a desktop PC (Dell i5-8500/16GB) and I want to switch to a laptop, specifically a MacBook Air. I'm unsure which model to buy, M2 or M3, and whether to get 8GB or 16GB of RAM. My usage mainly involves these apps: Chrome (with around ten tabs open on average), Adobe Illustrator, Notion, Trading View, Mail, Discord, and Office Suite. Occasionally (once a month), I also use Fusion 360 and Counter-Strike. Thank you in advance for your feedback and advice.
I've been debating on getting the MacBook Air or the MacBook pro 16-in. I am leaning towards the air cuz it's cheaper. The 15-in model that is but I also want the M3 pro with a larger display I can use my trade-in. I currently have a Intel Mac 13-in and I've been looking to upgrade it for a while and I really want the 16 in but I didn't want to pay the price. I also want the M3 pro so I feel like the bass 16 in with the 512 storage might be enough, but I feel like I will upgrade the storage to 1 TB. What do you think?
I'd like to see a comparison between the MacBook Pro 14" M3 Pro 12 core 18gb vs 36gb for heavy web use and video/photo editing. Is it worth upgrading to 36gb for future proofing?
Just bought a brand new MacBook Air M1 for less than $750 on year 2024, upgraded from previous 2019 Intel MBP and it was the best investment I did after iPad mini 6
I love my M1 Max. To me it is peak laptop and still way overpowered for the light video editing and office work I do. I got it at haft price on Black Friday and believe I will have it for 5-10 years.
Ok so I’m barely scraping by with my 16” Intel MB Pro but I’m itching to upgrade. My workflow would probably be fine with what I’ve got for a little longer (mostly use Microsoft office applications) but it is what I want to do with my MB Pro in my down time that is screaming for an upgrade: movies and games. But I don’t play 1st person shooters anymore. Mostly turn-based strategy (e.g. Colonizing Mars, Civ-6, etc.). I assume that 16” M2 Pro would do the trick but for how long into the future? I’m thinking about buying an M3 Pro after the M4s come out this fall (hopefully get a refurbished one cheap-er). Thoughts?
The 15'' macbook air is roughly the same weight as the 14'' macbook pro, but lacks promotion, miniled, XDR, fewer external display support, lower builtin display resolution, fewer thunderbolts, etc. No idea why apple made this model at the first place.....
have a MBA M1 and thinking to upgrade to MBP M3. Is it worth the upgrade? whant to see a better experience (even though I have a great experience with my MBA M1); or should I get the MBA 15? but I don't think I'll feel any difference with the latter one since only getting a larger screen.
I’m looking for a new MacBook Pro since I own an old intel MacBook. I usually use it for large excel spreadsheets and 10-20 chrome windows. So for multitasking and light gaming should I get an M1 Max 10 core CPU 24 core GPU 32gb of RAM or the M3 Pro 12 core CPU 18 core GPU 32gb of RAM? First one is 1700 and the second 2700 so just wondering if the difference in price is worth it and if I want to keep it for 4-5 years. Thanks!
Thanks for making such a comprehensive video. I still have a doubt on purchasing M3 MBA 16 GB vs M3 MBP 16 GB ram. I will be mainly working on light video editing - mostly 1080p but I seriously like the display quality of MBP and those extra ports.
I'm a high school student looking for a MacBook that can support me through senior year and all of college. I mainly focus on CS-related tasks. Currently, I have an Asus TUF with an i7 12th gen and a 3070ti, but I'm looking for something more portable that I can multitask with, watch content on, and do some graphics work. Which MacBook would you recommend for me?
Awaiting delivery of 16” M3 MacBook Pro Max 48/2Tb silver replacing 5 year old 16” Intel home heater from Apple - will probably miss it during winter time!
I want to buy a macbook for music production (Logic Pro) with various large library plug-ins. I also want to connect two displays, doesnt matter whether the laptop has to be closed or not. Which one should I get?
I miss the MBA configuration with 16 GB of RAM in the performance comparison and in the performance per Dollar rating , also the MPB M3PRO with upgraded RAM in comparison to the MBP M3MAX Base configuration. The RAM Upgrade is the most important possibility to upgrade, but if you have to do multiple upgrades usually the next tier is the better choice.
Not really a fan of the price comparisons and this doesn't take into account how many other programs you can run at once. I have sometimes two or three different apps open and sometimes 3d and after effects rendering while i'm also editing in photoshop at the same time.
For the same price, 16" M2 Pro or 14" M3 Pro? I mainly use mine with an external display but when I am on the go I always miss the bigger screen (I have a 2017 13" mac). Is 14" enough to get the job done?
As the M3 macbook pro supports ProMotion I just hope the upcoming mac minis to support ProMotion. If Apple does this I'll immediately upgrade my mac mini M2
12:55 2x larger SSD isn‘t right in this constellation, only if you compare with MacBook Air M2 or M3. In your case, you compare base MacBook Pro M3 and base MacBook Pro M3 Pro, which have the same SSD size, but different speeds.
Advice please: I run a 2020 M1 mac mini 16GB HD and 32"BENQ Screen. The main use is Audio Recording using Bitwig Software which only works on OS and not IOS. I need to move to a Laptop for live portability and sell the mini. I would like to know what my minimum option is, possibly an M1 or should I consider going for a M3 for resale. I need I screen port and at least 16 GB ram. Thanks for the great channel.
I’d say the 14” M3 MacBook Pro with 16GB would be good. Especially if you use hdmi and sd cards. If you want to spend more, the high end 14” is on sale for $1800 using the links in pinned comment
Still on a 2019 16inch intel touchbar MacBook Pro! Still works great, wanna upgrade but can’t justify the price when my MacBook still handles everything, plus it’s notchless, I hate the notch…
Love my 13" M3 Air with 16GB/1TB configuration, can take it anywhere without a hassle, even use it on small airplane tables and has a long battery life. For portability and my use case (traveling, office work, watching movies, surfing, light gaming) definitely the best choice! For people who need extra power and travel less, the M3 Pro might be better.
I got a 16in MacBook Pro from school. It’s my first not 13in in 12 years… and I hate it so much!!! It’s too big and heaven for a laptop. Like it’s not even reasonably sized for carrying around.
As an student I want to buy a new MacBook am currently using an Mac book Air M1 and are thinking about upgrading to a newer and more powerful one my budget is around 1500$ I’m going to use it for studying and som casual Gaming
I currently have a mid 2015 MBP which is really showing its age. As you can tell I tend to keep my computers for a long time. I want the 16" M3 MBP for the screen size and quality. Regretfully I have to have windows as part of my work. I can't get a straight answer as to how much RAM I need for this. Is 18 GB enough or should I go as high as 36 GB, 16 for each when I am running Parallels?
Need a suggestion as I'm planning to swap out my 2015 mac pro to a newer one. Need something that has a big screen, good battery and enough power to handle web browsing, Adobe Lightroom and Davinci Resolve. As well good for binge watching on go!
Question with the new MacBook Air m3 max out 24g memory and 2tb would it be good enough to learn adobe photoshop and Final Cut I need something light to carry around school
i wouldn't get any with a M3 Pro chip if high performance is important like do audio or graphic. For some unknown reason Apple slowed down the memory bus speed on the M3 Pro chip. So I say go for a Mac with a M3 Max chip if high performance is important.
I'm hoping the Mac Studio gets an M3-4 upgrade by year end as I think I'm finally going to upgrade from my 2017 27" Intel iMac. Yeah, I'm NOT buying a 24" iMac.....
I’m a professional photographer and video editor . Crunching through R5 files . On the photo side I might shoot 10k images per shoot. I’d like to access the 8k raw on the video side but my current machine can’t handle it ( 4k raw c200 is ok). What are the key specs I should look at for smoother timeline scrubbing in premiere and Decent Lightroom performance. Any idea on Ram? I’m getting advice to max out at 128 but wonder if 65 is enough. Thanks for the help 🙏🏼
You negleted to include the $699 M1 MBA at Walmart. Great deal. Now for what you said about the M3 MBA display. Connecting it to a dock gives you almost everything and more than a MacBook Pro. If you're using multiple displays then you're at a desk so a dock is really a good addition. They're dropping in price as well. Bought a Thunderbolt 4 one on Ebay for $60.
I've had my base m1 air for 3 years and it gets the job done. It was finally pushed when I started using VS Code and other IDE's for university. If I had gone and upgraded it to 16gb ram I think I would've never wanted to get an upgrade now 😭
I have my MBA M2 15' and I also regret not getting 16RAM. Not because is not working well (not al all, it's awesome), but for its durability I think I might regret it in a few years
Hii Max, Heartily ❤ Thank You, I Have doubt, Which macbook air Should I purchase for programming and Coding in University, I am in 12th standard Right Now, I will be doing my CS Engeneering, I will have to use it for next 4 years Also, What Should I do Right now? And Which Configuration? Will be Base Model Enough For me because I don't have pay much than I require in reality 😅
13” M3 AIR 16gb 512gb here. Holy cow does it actually work as good as my i9 desktop. I’m a videographer (installation_04_media) and it’s actually really destroying my workload out of the water. I do short form content.

M1 Pro MacBook Pro still going strong 💪
Bought a used one on eBay a month ago. 32gb ram, 1tb ssd, applecare+, 90% battery health, all for $1400. Super happy with it.
Only downside is that I wish it was silver, not Space gray…
Thats what apple costs for unlike windows machine which needs a reset every month😂
M3 Pro macbook pro 14 my first mac
Same going to change the battery and use it for two more years best laptop I have ever purchased next time I will go for the max chip
same, I also have the 14" M1 Pro
I have an M1 MacBook Air, and I see no reason to upgrade. It's excellent.
Yea. M1 strong es fuck
that's what isay to people who want to buy one.
Really, if you just want to work peacefully on it and not do anything that needs massive power, just take am1 macbook air. It will be fine for a long time.
In some countries you can get an M1 Air for around 550 - 600$ on promo slaes. If you don't do heavy duty stuff, this is the best 600 bucks you'll ever spend!
it’s the worst choice. It has a defect that lets too much dust into the screen, which breaks it. There’s thousands of threads on it and a class action lawsuit on it

Thank, Vadim! I had captured screen shots of several of your comparison videos three days ago, and now I can see them all in single charts
You’re very welcome!
Super happy with my 15 inch M2 MBA one year later. Best computer I ever owned ❤
Concise, focused, informative, thank you. +1
Just got the M3 Pro / 18 GB Ram. Gets everything I need it to get done, and plays every game I run on it smoothly.
Which games do you play?
11cores or 12 cores?
This video is absolutely brilliant, covers everything!
Thanks for the comparison, very detailed data!
0:01 Just gett’n into the vid and I already feel broke.
I picked up an M2 MBP 16' for $1600 with 2yrs of Apple Care at a local pawnshop. It only had 45 battery cycles and in pristine condition. Love it!
Truly helpful video
My 64gb m1max has been perfect and don't see myself upgrading for a LONG time. They just made them too good. Maybe in another 3-4 years
In my use case I use my MBP for office work, some video editing and photo editing, drive a pair of displays at home and work out of a pickup during the day. I had the 10/24/32 M1 Max in a 16". The size was a deal killer. I traded it for a 14" M3 Pro MBP 12/18/18 and have never regretted the decision. Moral of the story, I didn't need as much horse power as I thought, and I really should have spent more time considering the size and weight. Wish I would have originally bought the 14" M1 Pro instead, but super happy with the M3 Pro MBP 14" (and the space black is Cool!)
Just bought an M3 Max 16/40 64GB and couldn’t be happier!!!
🔥🔥🔥
cost like $5000 😂
Wow what a machine
If i had the need for a beast like that. I would be very happy too. I have not and are very happy with my 16 M1 Pro with only 16GB. I would however have to upgrade to a max model if I need a significant performance boost in FCP but I don’t. Happy for you

and the other apps from adobe.

How about… maybe a refurbished M2 Max vs m3 pro? I do a good amount of video editing in adobe premiere. What are your opinions?

M1 Max user here, I am only looking for an upgrade because Space Black looks dope. Yes, I'm one of those

Hi, Where do you get all those wallpapers
Where can I get wallpapers on the M3 Max Macbook Pro?
I miss the MBA configuration with 16 GB of RAM in the performance comparison and in the performance per Dollar rating , also the MPB M3PRO with upgraded RAM in comparison to the MBP M3MAX Base configuration. The RAM Upgrade is the most important possibility to upgrade, but if you have to do multiple upgrades usually the next tier is the better choice.
doubt between m3 pro 18/516gb or m2 max studio 32/512gb for video edit?
In 14inch model what's good for trading multiple screens and little of video editing/rendering without any last or stutter ?
Not really a fan of the price comparisons and this doesn't take into account how many other programs you can run at once. I have sometimes two or three different apps open and sometimes 3d and after effects rendering while i'm also editing in photoshop at the same time.
For the same price, 16" M2 Pro or 14" M3 Pro? I mainly use mine with an external display but when I am on the go I always miss the bigger screen (I have a 2017 13" mac). Is 14" enough to get the job done?
Yes especially if you use an external display at home
As the M3 macbook pro supports ProMotion I just hope the upcoming mac minis to support ProMotion. If Apple does this I'll immediately upgrade my mac mini M2

Definitely keep it if you’re happy. Don’t upgrade yet
What mac should i go for for video editing , using after effects and premiere pro heavy visuals
Either a refurbished M2 Pro 14 or M3 Pro MBP 14 inches. Make sure they have 32-36GB of RAM.
go for Mac Studio M1 MAX 32 GB
why not waitting for the m4 mac？
hmm, M1 MBP 16RAM/1Tb SSD/10C CPU unbinned still out there cheap, looking like a good option for M2/M3 air money...
Can you make
M2 macbook air 16gb ram
Vs
M3 Macbook air 8gb ram
Is the MacBook Air any model good for8 hour all day teams and zoom streaming. Doing live presentations.
Or would the fans of the pro help.
Definitely the Air!
@maxTechOfficial - I am planning for 13” M3 air, please provide your feedback on this.
Thanks😊
Yes it’s a great choice
14” m3 max 40 core 2TB 64GB RAM. Buy nice or buy twice. This will last me 7-10 years before anything base even comes close
Love my 13" M3 Air with 16GB/1TB configuration, can take it anywhere without a hassle, even use it on small airplane tables and has a long battery life. For portability and my use case (traveling, office work, watching movies, surfing, light gaming) definitely the best choice! For people who need extra power and travel less, the M3 Pro might be better.
I got a 16in MacBook Pro from school. It’s my first not 13in in 12 years… and I hate it so much!!! It’s too big and heaven for a laptop. Like it’s not even reasonably sized for carrying around.
As an student I want to buy a new MacBook am currently using an Mac book Air M1 and are thinking about upgrading to a newer and more powerful one my budget is around 1500$ I’m going to use it for studying and som casual Gaming
Should I get MacBook Pro or Mac Studio in 2024 for a similar price?
I currently have a mid 2015 MBP which is really showing its age. As you can tell I tend to keep my computers for a long time. I want the 16" M3 MBP for the screen size and quality. Regretfully I have to have windows as part of my work. I can't get a straight answer as to how much RAM I need for this. Is 18 GB enough or should I go as high as 36 GB, 16 for each when I am running Parallels?
For Parallels it would be a good idea to upgrade the RAm to 36
Need a suggestion as I'm planning to swap out my 2015 mac pro to a newer one. Need something that has a big screen, good battery and enough power to handle web browsing, Adobe Lightroom and Davinci Resolve. As well good for binge watching on go!
Ofc, would like to future proof myself as well, don't want to change them every other year. Current one has lasted almost 10 years
16” M3 Pro will probably do just fine! 16” screen for the binge watching and speakers. But if it’s too big, the 14” will do
Question with the new MacBook Air m3 max out 24g memory and 2tb would it be good enough to learn adobe photoshop and Final Cut I need something light to carry around school
Yes.
OR you could wait a few more months for the M4 Macbook Pro??
i wouldn't get any with a M3 Pro chip if high performance is important like do audio or graphic. For some unknown reason Apple slowed down the memory bus speed on the M3 Pro chip. So I say go for a Mac with a M3 Max chip if high performance is important.
Love this channel! I always watch it before I need to buy anything Apple
I'm hoping the Mac Studio gets an M3-4 upgrade by year end as I think I'm finally going to upgrade from my 2017 27" Intel iMac. Yeah, I'm NOT buying a 24" iMac.....
I'll wait for SD X Elite first
I’m a professional photographer and video editor . Crunching through R5 files . On the photo side I might shoot 10k images per shoot. I’d like to access the 8k raw on the video side but my current machine can’t handle it ( 4k raw c200 is ok). What are the key specs I should look at for smoother timeline scrubbing in premiere and Decent Lightroom performance. Any idea on Ram? I’m getting advice to max out at 128 but wonder if 65 is enough. Thanks for the help 🙏🏼
M3 Max 40-core with 64 should probably be more than good enough.
@@MaxTechOfficial Thanks, appreciate the advice !
I just got an iBook clamshell in Keylime. I’m going to use that as my daily driver B)
You negleted to include the $699 M1 MBA at Walmart. Great deal. Now for what you said about the M3 MBA display. Connecting it to a dock gives you almost everything and more than a MacBook Pro. If you're using multiple displays then you're at a desk so a dock is really a good addition. They're dropping in price as well. Bought a Thunderbolt 4 one on Ebay for $60.
Not officially on Apple website anymore. Kinda want to forget about it now and move on
The M3 lineup is good this year. But I’m glad to see that Apple is trying to switch to a yearly update cycle.
I have MacBook M1 Pro 512Gb should I upgrade I’m video editor and filmmaker?
If you’re happy with the performance, keep it for now and wait for M4 chips
I want to buy a 16” 2019 MacBook Pro
I absolutely love my high end M3 Pro MacBook Pro. Now I need a BMW ///M3 to match.
I plan to keep my macbook for a long time, so i wonder if 8gb is enough for the next 5-7 years or should i go for 16gb?
Definitely go 16
Ama wait till the m4
For doing programming+simulation work for university+video editing+portability. Budget is around $2000. Does it fulfill my tasks?
M3 MacBook Pro with 16GB memory will probably do just fine for you. I assume simulation work might take a while so you might need a fan-powered laptop
People forget how cheap the M1 Pro with 1TB is and it's still an absolute beast. I got mine open box for $1,200 only 3 cycles in the battery!
I've had my base m1 air for 3 years and it gets the job done. It was finally pushed when I started using VS Code and other IDE's for university. If I had gone and upgraded it to 16gb ram I think I would've never wanted to get an upgrade now 😭
I know. We need to just get the message through to Apple that 16GB should be the minimum base.
I have my MBA M2 15' and I also regret not getting 16RAM. Not because is not working well (not al all, it's awesome), but for its durability I think I might regret it in a few years
Me, who picked up a fully refurbed 16" M1 Max for 2k just a month ago... 🍿
What's the memory configuration
@@BoxerboyTech 1tb / 32gb
my M2Max already enough for content video editing in reality
I want to get the M3 Max but with the rumored M4 coming I’m not sure anymore.
If you can wait until Fall to upgrade, do it
still using pro 2019
Hii Max, Heartily ❤ Thank You, I Have doubt, Which macbook air Should I purchase for programming and Coding in University, I am in 12th standard Right Now, I will be doing my CS Engeneering, I will have to use it for next 4 years Also, What Should I do Right now? And Which Configuration? Will be Base Model Enough For me because I don't have pay much than I require in reality 😅
Yes base M3 with 16GB RAM should be more than enough!
@@MaxTechOfficial Or if can I Go for M2 16gb, by I can use student discount and will also able to get external SSD at low price?
which MB with 16gb Ram......basic use only but for long term say 5 years +....?
M3 MBA with 16GB should be fine. If you want the display, speakers and ports, go M3 MBP
2017 MBP 512gb Intel Touchbar still works for me. Haha
13” M3 AIR 16gb 512gb here. Holy cow does it actually work as good as my i9 desktop. I’m a videographer (installation_04_media) and it’s actually really destroying my workload out of the water. I do short form content.
2:27 would’ve been really nice to have all over them on the same wallpaper background to see if there was any difference in this scene ngl
