This just shows to me how big of a deal was M1 Pro. I have been using my M1 Pro since February of 2022 and I see absolutely 0 reasons to upgrade to anything above it, as a full-stack developer. It does 100% and more of what I need, it's as fast as the day I bought it, it has no problem running multiple Docker containers, npm, Laravel, multiple web browsers, terminal windows... I am planning to keep mine until it fails.
This is the kind of comments need to read. Instead of upgrading a m3 MacBook Air. People need to search for a refurbished or a used M1 Pro for around the same price.
People who have the money and look for longevity: get a new MacBook Pro and keep it for the next 10 years. People who have a budget looking for longevity: get a used/refurbished MacBook Pro M1(m2 if your budget little larger) and keep your device for 7 years.
@@GreatTaiwan Apple is known for for longevity and longevity is different per person. I’m still using a 2011 MacBook Pro. For a few that’s normal for others 5 years is too much with a laptop. It’s still too early to know if we need something with more ram for just the m1s.
Been waiting for this one! I’ve been working with the M1 Pro pretty much since it came out- specifically for editing videos and basic motion graphics- and it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it so far.
@@seederorg2489 The M1 Pro is only good if you're buying used. The M3 Pro however, is a downgrade from the M2 Pro. I suggest you get the M2 Pro new if you want raw power, but if you want features like Dynamic Caching, Space Black, or Ray Tracing then get M3 Pro.
@seederorg2489 depends on your budget, can you afford the M3? Then go ahead and get it. If not, then the M1 Pro is still a very solid cpu, im sure it'll last another 5-6 years.
I'm using a M1 Pro with 16 GB and 2 TB SDD. All my job regarding video editing is done flawless and I can't complain about anything about it. Still no thought to upgrade it.
@@PositivitysDust I edit only 4k. I cant complain about speed during the edit time. It takes time to save the result, for 20 min of a 4k project, can be around 20-30 min. I didn't use it to much on battery, I connected it to a hub with 2 monitors. On battery, when I travel i can use it for few hours, but no more than 3-4 hours, depends of how many apps I use. So far, i ordered an M4 Pro. Have a wonderul day
@@MihaiBlog Thank you so much for the response. I am torn between M3 or M4 but I think I should focus on more ram instead. I really love M4 but takes months before it will be on hand in my area :( (This will be my very first apple laptop for video editng as well)
I have done AI/ML as a college student and then profession for the last 6 years and switching to the m2 pro was the best decision I have ever made. I have tested out a friends m1 pro and the difference is negligible if you are looking to be a programmer but trust me as someone who has really pushed this laptop to it's limit as a student and professional the m1/2 is all you will need (don't need to upgrade chip, definitely go for more storage and ram especially if you can)
@@GreatTaiwan As an apprentice Data Engineer, you can now on PyTorch specify u want to use the gpu of the silicon MacBook.

Same here. I can't say I am the most power user but I do some programing and I multitask a lot while doing research, and this machine is an absolute beast, still blazing through every task like a champ.
I'm thinking about upgrading my 2019 Intel 16 and Best Buy is giving an amazing $825 trade-in for it. You think it's worth to get a refurbished M1 Pro 16, 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM for $285 or same specs 14 inch for $200 after the trade in? I can get a new M3 14 with 18GB RAM for $1,000 after trade-in which seems much more expensive but I do guess it will have 2 years more support.
Where I live, the 14" M1 Pro 10 Core 1 TB costs 1600€ refurbed , while the M3 Pro 11 Core 1TB is ~2400€. I'm a mobile app developer and paying 800€ more for the M3 Pro is quite insane...
3:29 I think the memory bus and memory bandwidth are two different things. Memory bus width is the number of lanes and the memory bandwidth is the speed. That highway analogy is awesome! The only difference I would suggest is that they have different speed limits, instead of lane difference. The lanes are actually more in M3 Pro, but the speed is slower. The data can be broken into smaller chunks and sent sooner in a multilane, but slower individual lanes, than few lanes but faster individual lanes, if that makes sense. Thanks for the video! I am still in the market for a Macbook and this was really helpful.
I love my M1 Pro so much, runs as smoothly as the first day. Not a single decrease in performance or battery life. Happy to see I’ve made the right choice and it’s gonna last for many years to come.
I have the base M1 Pro 14-inch, Apple Refurbished, purchased on sale through my local Microcenter (now $1199, which is insane). Battery life is great, screen is awesome, and its plenty powerful. Apple really shot themselves in the foot with their M1 series of chips, all of which are still great. Maybe the M4 will be the big leap we expected with M3.
Another thing to consider is the high resale value of a used Mac… I had the 16” M1 Pro with 16gb ram and 1TB ssd and just sold it for $1,200 and bought the 14” M3 14” with 18GB ram and 1TB drive and got it $200.00 off at Best Buy so my outlay was only 1k for a brand new M2 14”.. I’m a happy camper… 16” was too big for me… hated lugging it around…
I've got the M1 Pro 16 Inch not long after it launched in 2021 and it's working perfectly right now. I will probably upgrade it whenever the M6 Pro/Max releases in a few years.
The only difference is that the Pro chips that you get in the 16" versions are not binned, you just get the full Pro chips. Those are also an option in the 14" MBP. And as he says, he is comparing the base models that you can buy anywhere.
Great to see how the older ones hold up so well! I will keep my 16" M1 Pro still for long, I guess. Even with 86% battery health the battery life is still insane.
@@kevin-sj3wt Well yep, I agree - it's a lot of money unless it's fulfilling a task and it's proven to be the right one for the job. But with quite a difference between the M2 and M3, if the only noticeable difference is 3D and you don't use that extensively, the extra cash is a bit wasted. I ended up going for the M2 for this reason
I'm currently trying to decide if it's smarter to buy a refurbished macbook pro m1 or a refurbished m3 (with the m1 being almost £500 pounds cheaper). As the m1 is a little older, i am considering the investment regarding longlivety etc. Anyone know if it is worth the price difference?
I went from an M1 MacBook Air to the M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14 and there were some nice upgrades like screen size and ProMotion, speakers, ports, magnetic charging, and the Space Black. But otherwise, I don't notice a whole lot of difference in day to day speed. Apple silicon is truly game changing.
Just got yesterday MacBook Pro 14” M1 Pro in ideal condition with 98% of battery for 1300€ in Spain within 3 years of warranty 🎉 And its amazing, so silent and cool after my Legion with RTX 3060 which one was so noisy like flying jet even in regular tusk
if you're on a budget a used M1 Pro is absolutely a great value however if you're a power user to any capacity especially if your workflow is more CPU intensive, you notice and appreciate the gains with each iteration of apple silicon. I upgraded from M2 to M3 pro and M3 is considerably better. for me, apps like Xcode and figma open up a lot faster, code compilation is a lot faster, intelisense is a lot faster. Mind you, I came from a base M2 but that shouldn't matter as for my workflow, the base M2 was actually faster in a lot of cases than the M2 Pro for a lot of single core tasks. Id refer anyone to Alex Ziskinds vids on this this comparison.
Is the M1 Pro with 1TB (new sealed pack) worth buying in 2024, if I get it for about 1550$? The new M3 Pro with 1TB is around 2800$ in India. I’m majorly going to use it for Photography stuff, with apps like Photoshop and Lightroom.
First of all, I'm not a editor. But I guess. the question is not easy to answer. No enough budget and payment wouldn't be enough. M1 pro. Expecting to have a lot of work and a good payment. Get a M3 pro. The most of improvements are related with this kind of jobs (editing videos and photos) And the end, your decision should be based on what you are expeting to do, something no complex or something complex but the time is no a problem (maybe there are no differences or maybe there is a big difference).
Great video mate, I was looking for this one from a long time because I had to make a decision and then I bought M1 pro last month however I can see I made right decision, Thank you so much, you gained a sub.
It's even overpowered for that! So definitely! It won't get new MacOS updates (but I think you'll still get security updates) for another 6-7 years though, I think.
I use my Macs until they are no longer supported, so I have to have the newest version to get the most use. I have a fully spec’d 2010 Mac Pro that’s just become a door stop, but it remained a beast for over a decade. Looking at a 16” maxed out M3 but with some reservations. Thanks for the comparison.
I am a first year CSE student who is going to start specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the third year. I had made my mind that I would buy a 14" M3 Pro MacBook Pro 1TB but after watching your video, I am rethinking. Could you please guide me regarding the same? I have heard that AI/ML simulations are more GPU intensive but I would like a 2nd opinion. Any thoughts?
I haven't specifically tested AI workflows yet so I'm not entirely sure (I intend to start soon). However, I would recommend going for an M3 Pro. The GPU specific enhancements like dynamic caching etc will likely benefit AI/ML workflows.
3 things have changed my life. 16” M1 MBP, Sony WH1000XM5, and Razer’s Thunderbolt 4 dock. I’ve done almost everything on it with dual 4k monitors, from audio mixing/editing, picture/video editing, 3D modeling, App developing to basic movie watching, article reading, journaling/planning etc. it’s been the best investment to myself after using a 2015 i7 MBP 🥹
Thank you for the great comparison. It seems that M1 Pro is very fast against the others. For editing in lightrom and premiere pro , is it still suitable to buy M1 pro? And how many years I can use M1 pro ? Or should I buy M4 chip paying extra 1000 usd ? Thank you 🙏🏻
i'm also a programmer and i'm a pc user 32gb ram and 1tb storage thats the requirement of my work since i have a lot of docker containers opened, and i want to transition to macbook pro, should i get the latest Macbook M3 Pro 36gb? Let me know your thoughts
M3 Max is the best laptop ever and when it's second place it'll still be great. I get a good 6 hours of battery on the highest power settings, high workflow...
Great structure of video! You help me to make a decision by your comparison and I'm on ny way to buy my new m1 pro macbook and save the money. Awesome!
I'm just a week away from buying a Macbook pro with the pro chip and I was searching for a video like this just comparing the pro chips in all generations (only). I'm not interested in comparing pro with max chips or anything else. Now I'm all clear that I'm going with the M3 Pro.
good choice! Just 3 weeks ago, I bought the max m3 pro 14 inch, 1TB SSD, and base 18gb ram. As an upgrade from my 2010 iMac, it is the fastest computer I have ever used. Super worth it, and I have better battery life than both my friends, who have M1 and M2 pros. I’m also using my 2010 iMac as a monitor for my macbook, to top it all off!
@@vidarshan thanks! I’ll try and find a 120/144hz 4k monitor - i’m gonna use my imac for a while since it’s 2k and can be overclocked to 90hz - but a second monitor i can’t say no too! :)
yes you will be more than fine. if you find a slightly future-proofed version then you’re set for the next 7 years at least. for example, i got my M1 Pro MBP in 2021 with 10 core CPU and 1TB memory. there are options out there to add sleek SD cards with another 1TB of memory. i do a lot multitasking with programming, web surfing, video, streaming, and music listening. almost 3 years later it still feels brand new.
multitasking is not about just compiling in multiple threads - it is more about our daily usecase where we have opened tons of browser tabs and others processes. Every new process can use separated core, so it should be written for parallel execution. Even if you're using Python or Node for compiling/transpiling, it also will use multicore usage scenario. So more cores - always better. But if you're using Node for building app - single core performance could help here) But this almost doesn't affect on UX :)
I mostly work on Figma and Photoshop and a little VS Code. I need a budget-friendly Pro version MacBook, and at the same time, I'm concerned about the OS longevity. What would you recommend i get?
How long will be update macbook M1 Pro ?? I thought to buy it in 2025 for not difficult cases and making not hard video/ presentations. What do you think? I want pro because of 120 hz and better display and sound

Hello. I recently moved to France from Japan, and I’m currently not working. It’s been 8 years since I last bought a MacBook, but I’m thinking of getting one soon. What do you think would be the best fit for me? Here are my needs: • Photo and video editing (both at an intermediate level) • Administrative tasks and daily use • Playing Death Stranding smoothly Thanks in advance for your advice!
From 10:36 to 11:10. I totally disagree about this 10-15% of battery life. Currently I’m living in Ukraine, and we have at least 4 hours of blackouts every single day (I live in Kyiv). And recently (at the end of the may) I bought myself a m3 pro 14 inch mac, and his battery life literally saved my job and life. So, these 10-15% upgrade with each generation of m processors are important) I’m not criticising you, I’m just telling my opinion
Is MetalRT used in any way in blender viewports or when playing with shaders or even painting textures or is it used just only for rendering? Same question additionally about Substance Painter if I may ask. Does Metal speedup working process in viewports in both apps? I'm deciding between M2 and M3 but I won't be rendering in any of those apps. I will assamble assets in Unreal Engine though... I guess Metal can be used for compiling shaders in UE etc.
I bought a new base model 14 inch M1 MBP around Christmas back in 2022 for a nice $500 discount and when the M2 came out shortly after, I remember thinking I done goofed. But the M1 turned out to be a total beast. It handles literally anything I throw at it and I think it will continue to for years to come. I still have my 2013 13 inch MBP from college that still works okay after all that time, so I can't imagine how much longer the M1 will remain powerful. Great video!
Whoa thank you for the display of the Logic Pro tracks. I am a producer and am coming from a 17 MacBook Pro. Would you recommend an m2 pro over an m3 pro then? I use logic
Which do you guys think should I buy, Where I live Macbook Pro M3 16gb RAM/512 cost $1990 while Macbook Pro M2 pro 16gb/512 cost $1412. for context would use it for an engineering course currently using a 2020 Macbook Pro
I just ordere my M3 Pro and traded my 4 yr old Intel 10th gen and which was in pretty good shape because I hardly used it. After watching your video I'm going to cancel my order. It hasn't even been shipped yet and I wouldn't want to trade my older Mac. I'll look at an M1 or a new higher end ASUS. I'm not sure whether Asus is as durable as Apple products are but I'm beginning to see through the whole branding thing and the subtle marketing strategies where they force you to upgrade and as by freezing your customization from M1 to M3. Thank you your video was very revealing I'll make sure I share it with others.
The M3 should have significantly better battery life in low power mode at comparatively better speeds. For those doing long days of simple work w/o a charger that’s a serious advantage and for those not needing the power you can also argue that lower power consumption would give you a bit more (long term) battery longevity (lower temp and fewer cycles)
how to get a pc for free? I'm starting from scratch, i want start a agence creating applications and website, I have skills in flutterflow and Webflow but I don't have a PC to start what do you advise me?
You never get anything for free. Although you probably could ask for something very cheap. You could put out ads online asking for someone who is getting rid of an old one, or you can try used electronics stores or thrift stores. Depends what country you are in. The best way would be to save up a few hundred dollars and buy one part at a time on sale or used online.
@@obed_2591 Yes sometimes you can find them very inexpensive but you have to look very hard. Sometimes universities or schools are recycling old ones and you can get those for free if you go from school to school or university asking if they are getting rid of any electronics. The best solution is to save up as much as you can and buy parts, but then you have to know how to build one. The second best way is to buy used. But if you can find someone getting rid of one that is one way to get it cheap or free.
@@obed_2591 Yes it takes time but sometimes universities might have some they are replacing too. There is no fast or easy way to get one free or cheap, but it is possible. It just takes a lot of time so it’s sometimes worth it just to save up for a used one.
I have the M1 Max and it’s absolutely perfect. I’ve never had a problem or had it bog down once since I got it. It does all I need and much more. When something’s perfect there’s no reason to buy something else. The only way I’ll buy a newer one is when the screen greatly improves or the battery dies, but I think that will be a while.
I am planning to buy a new MacBook. In my nearby store M2 pro 16 inch is cheaper than M3 pro 14 inch. Can anyone suggest which would be the best option.
16 inch is big like really big. I use it for my work and i have to carry it. But i love writing code on it. The extra screen size helps to read more lines of code. But its a little bit uncomfortable while carrying. Ps i use public transport. 14 inch is really small for coding and designing .

I just bought a barely used M1 Pro 16 inch with 1200€ (98% battery health,40 cycles), did I make a good deal ? ( Europe)
Yes
Easy answer, yes!!!!!!
1tb？

An extremely good deal!
Just got yesterday MacBook Pro 14” M1 Pro in ideal condition with 98% of battery for 1300€ in Spain within 3 years of warranty 🎉
And its amazing, so silent and cool after my Legion with RTX 3060 which one was so noisy like flying jet even in regular tusk
its because of the GPU hehe

Good job
if you're on a budget a used M1 Pro is absolutely a great value however if you're a power user to any capacity especially if your workflow is more CPU intensive, you notice and appreciate the gains with each iteration of apple silicon. I upgraded from M2 to M3 pro and M3 is considerably better. for me, apps like Xcode and figma open up a lot faster, code compilation is a lot faster, intelisense is a lot faster. Mind you, I came from a base M2 but that shouldn't matter as for my workflow, the base M2 was actually faster in a lot of cases than the M2 Pro for a lot of single core tasks. Id refer anyone to Alex Ziskinds vids on this this comparison.
9:32 damn that input lag is wild though
Is the M1 Pro with 1TB (new sealed pack) worth buying in 2024, if I get it for about 1550$? The new M3 Pro with 1TB is around 2800$ in India. I’m majorly going to use it for Photography stuff, with apps like Photoshop and Lightroom.
First of all, I'm not a editor. But I guess. the question is not easy to answer.
No enough budget and payment wouldn't be enough. M1 pro. Expecting to have a lot of work and a good payment. Get a M3 pro. The most of improvements are related with this kind of jobs (editing videos and photos)
And the end, your decision should be based on what you are expeting to do, something no complex or something complex but the time is no a problem (maybe there are no differences or maybe there is a big difference).
They worked really hard and struck the jackpot on the first time M1 is the best others are just experiment in it as a variant
My 2021 M1 pro is still over kill for me to this day. Using it for whatsapp, outlook, powerpoint and excel :D
if I'm mainly coding andd planning to run virtual machines and emulator, is macbook m2 pro the best choice?
Great video mate, I was looking for this one from a long time because I had to make a decision and then I bought M1 pro last month however I can see I made right decision, Thank you so much, you gained a sub.
Bro from where you purchased and at what cost ? …. Even I’m looking for M1 Pro
@@True_Man_Show Bro I got it from a local shop, it is very less used and have around 1.7 years of Apple care +.
would you go for M2 pro but upgraded to 12/19 or M3pro in 11/14 as they are in the same price range ?
M3 Pro.
If the purpose is to watch content and for basic use
M1 pro is enough?
and M1 pr is good for next 6-7 years?
More than enough
It's even overpowered for that! So definitely! It won't get new MacOS updates (but I think you'll still get security updates) for another 6-7 years though, I think.
0:42 and MacBook with M1 chip has HDMI 2.0 when the other laptops have the newer 2.1 version of it
I use my Macs until they are no longer supported, so I have to have the newest version to get the most use. I have a fully spec’d 2010 Mac Pro that’s just become a door stop, but it remained a beast for over a decade. Looking at a 16” maxed out M3 but with some reservations. Thanks for the comparison.
What microphone do you use when recording your videos?
I am a first year CSE student who is going to start specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the third year. I had made my mind that I would buy a 14" M3 Pro MacBook Pro 1TB but after watching your video, I am rethinking. Could you please guide me regarding the same? I have heard that AI/ML simulations are more GPU intensive but I would like a 2nd opinion. Any thoughts?
I haven't specifically tested AI workflows yet so I'm not entirely sure (I intend to start soon). However, I would recommend going for an M3 Pro. The GPU specific enhancements like dynamic caching etc will likely benefit AI/ML workflows.
3 things have changed my life. 16” M1 MBP, Sony WH1000XM5, and Razer’s Thunderbolt 4 dock.
I’ve done almost everything on it with dual 4k monitors, from audio mixing/editing, picture/video editing, 3D modeling, App developing to basic movie watching, article reading, journaling/planning etc. it’s been the best investment to myself after using a 2015 i7 MBP 🥹
Thank you for the great comparison. It seems that M1 Pro is very fast against the others. For editing in lightrom and premiere pro , is it still suitable to buy M1 pro? And how many years I can use M1 pro ? Or should I buy M4 chip paying extra 1000 usd ? Thank you 🙏🏻
i'm also a programmer and i'm a pc user 32gb ram and 1tb storage thats the requirement of my work since i have a lot of docker containers opened, and i want to transition to macbook pro, should i get the latest Macbook M3 Pro 36gb? Let me know your thoughts
M3 Max is the best laptop ever and when it's second place it'll still be great. I get a good 6 hours of battery on the highest power settings, high workflow...
MacBook pro 16 M1 Pro is the way to go! Absolute beast that's way ahead of its time! 💯💯💯
Great structure of video! You help me to make a decision by your comparison and I'm on ny way to buy my new m1 pro macbook and save the money. Awesome!
Bro, what is the model name of M2 pro you use in the video?
Can you please tell me?
I'm just a week away from buying a Macbook pro with the pro chip and I was searching for a video like this just comparing the pro chips in all generations (only). I'm not interested in comparing pro with max chips or anything else. Now I'm all clear that I'm going with the M3 Pro.
good choice! Just 3 weeks ago, I bought the max m3 pro 14 inch, 1TB SSD, and base 18gb ram. As an upgrade from my 2010 iMac, it is the fastest computer I have ever used. Super worth it, and I have better battery life than both my friends, who have M1 and M2 pros. I’m also using my 2010 iMac as a monitor for my macbook, to top it all off!
@@thyssenFILMS great choice. Invest in a high resolution monitor if you can. I use monitors all the time and its worth it
@@vidarshan thanks! I’ll try and find a 120/144hz 4k monitor - i’m gonna use my imac for a while since it’s 2k and can be overclocked to 90hz - but a second monitor i can’t say no too! :)
Thanks for this review.
How about influence of more Ram? I hit the 16GB limit of my M1 pro very easily with Lightroom editing
Outstanding video!! Thank you
Im using air m2 base should I go m3 pro or which one? I'm a Data Engineer and run mostly on cloud but sometimes I have to run on local as well.
if i buy m1 pro now. will it be wise decision? as it was manufactur in 2021 which is old.
yes you will be more than fine. if you find a slightly future-proofed version then you’re set for the next 7 years at least.
for example, i got my M1 Pro MBP in 2021 with 10 core CPU and 1TB memory. there are options out there to add sleek SD cards with another 1TB of memory. i do a lot multitasking with programming, web surfing, video, streaming, and music listening. almost 3 years later it still feels brand new.
I am still very happy with my M1 Pro from 2,5 years ago. It's really fast for video editing.
I worked an entire day into night on one charge. I was tired and that's all i need.
3:21. You assume the less memory bandwidth is a problem. But its not a bottleneck so no problem.
thank you !! would you go though for M2 pro with 12/19 cpu/gpu or M3 pro with 11/14?
i will insanely appreciate your help!🙏🏼
and btw which exactly configuration of cpu/gpu did you test?:)
Any differences in speaker quality!?
multitasking is not about just compiling in multiple threads - it is more about our daily usecase where we have opened tons of browser tabs and others processes. Every new process can use separated core, so it should be written for parallel execution. Even if you're using Python or Node for compiling/transpiling, it also will use multicore usage scenario. So more cores - always better. But if you're using Node for building app - single core performance could help here) But this almost doesn't affect on UX :)
I mostly work on Figma and Photoshop and a little VS Code. I need a budget-friendly Pro version MacBook, and at the same time, I'm concerned about the OS longevity. What would you recommend i get?
How long will be update macbook M1 Pro ?? I thought to buy it in 2025 for not difficult cases and making not hard video/ presentations. What do you think? I want pro because of 120 hz and better display and sound
Qual app ele está usando pra ter esses dados de monitoramento nesse momento do video (10:06)?
iStat Pro
i normally just use adobe so i was thinking to save money and just go w m1 but i’ve always wanted to try out blender - can it handle more simple stuff or the program itself would just be slow? ty!
thank you, very helpful!
Hello.
I recently moved to France from Japan, and I’m currently not working. It’s been 8 years since I last bought a MacBook, but I’m thinking of getting one soon. What do you think would be the best fit for me?
Here are my needs:
• Photo and video editing (both at an intermediate level)
• Administrative tasks and daily use
• Playing Death Stranding smoothly
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Base model M4 Pro MacBook Pro.
@ yes sir
Is there a difference for CAD between them?
61 years old granny thank you for making this video as I am in the market for a laptop and debating Air vs Pro.
Are you selling any of these macs?
I have an M3 pro 14 and it's great. My 2015 13" has no problem running Sonoma with open core.
I have a 32gb M1 Pro and I plan to keep it forever ❤
Is there any info about exact configuration used to test each MacBook? Like M1 Pro 10cpu 16Gpu version?
Watch the first few minutes again
is the m1 pro still good on 4k editing?
From 10:36 to 11:10. I totally disagree about this 10-15% of battery life. Currently I’m living in Ukraine, and we have at least 4 hours of blackouts every single day (I live in Kyiv). And recently (at the end of the may) I bought myself a m3 pro 14 inch mac, and his battery life literally saved my job and life. So, these 10-15% upgrade with each generation of m processors are important) I’m not criticising you, I’m just telling my opinion
in late 2024 is it worth worth getting m1 16gbr ? Vs 8gb m2 air, for a similar price is it worth getting M1 chip to get 16gb ram?
Is MetalRT used in any way in blender viewports or when playing with shaders or even painting textures or is it used just only for rendering? Same question additionally about Substance Painter if I may ask. Does Metal speedup working process in viewports in both apps?
I'm deciding between M2 and M3 but I won't be rendering in any of those apps. I will assamble assets in Unreal Engine though... I guess Metal can be used for compiling shaders in UE etc.
I bought a new base model 14 inch M1 MBP around Christmas back in 2022 for a nice $500 discount and when the M2 came out shortly after, I remember thinking I done goofed. But the M1 turned out to be a total beast. It handles literally anything I throw at it and I think it will continue to for years to come. I still have my 2013 13 inch MBP from college that still works okay after all that time, so I can't imagine how much longer the M1 will remain powerful. Great video!
Was thinking if all of these have the same battery , after 5yrs will we be able to replace the battery on our own?
great video just missing the based model m3 16gb for comparison
Whoa thank you for the display of the Logic Pro tracks. I am a producer and am coming from a 17 MacBook Pro. Would you recommend an m2 pro over an m3 pro then? I use logic
M3 Pro is better but if you can get the M2 for a discount it’s usually a better deal.
What app is that to monitor temperature and CPU fan speeds?
TG Pro?
did you find the right app? i could just download any other app but the one used in this video is very good looking
Which do you guys think should I buy, Where I live Macbook Pro M3 16gb RAM/512 cost $1990 while Macbook Pro M2 pro 16gb/512 cost $1412. for context would use it for an engineering course currently using a 2020 Macbook Pro
obviously the M2..
I’ve got a sluggish 2017 intel i5 macbook pro, i think it’s time to upgrade
What's the App used for temp reference in the video??
Excellent breakdown, thanks!
video wasn't in the link below
I just ordere my M3 Pro and traded my 4 yr old Intel 10th gen and which was in pretty good shape because I hardly used it. After watching your video I'm going to cancel my order.
It hasn't even been shipped yet and I wouldn't want to trade my older Mac.
I'll look at an M1 or a new higher end ASUS. I'm not sure whether Asus is as durable as Apple products are but I'm beginning to see through the whole branding thing and the subtle marketing strategies where they force you to upgrade and as by freezing your customization from M1 to M3. Thank you your video was very revealing I'll make sure I share it with others.
i really want this video. thank you
The M3 should have significantly better battery life in low power mode at comparatively better speeds. For those doing long days of simple work w/o a charger that’s a serious advantage and for those not needing the power you can also argue that lower power consumption would give you a bit more (long term) battery longevity (lower temp and fewer cycles)
how to get a pc for free? I'm starting from scratch, i want start a agence creating applications and website, I have skills in flutterflow and Webflow but I don't have a PC to start what do you advise me?
You never get anything for free. Although you probably could ask for something very cheap. You could put out ads online asking for someone who is getting rid of an old one, or you can try used electronics stores or thrift stores. Depends what country you are in. The best way would be to save up a few hundred dollars and buy one part at a time on sale or used online.
@@ghost-user559 I see, thank you
@@obed_2591 Yes sometimes you can find them very inexpensive but you have to look very hard. Sometimes universities or schools are recycling old ones and you can get those for free if you go from school to school or university asking if they are getting rid of any electronics. The best solution is to save up as much as you can and buy parts, but then you have to know how to build one. The second best way is to buy used. But if you can find someone getting rid of one that is one way to get it cheap or free.
@@obed_2591 Yes it takes time but sometimes universities might have some they are replacing too. There is no fast or easy way to get one free or cheap, but it is possible. It just takes a lot of time so it’s sometimes worth it just to save up for a used one.
I have the M1 Max and it’s absolutely perfect. I’ve never had a problem or had it bog down once since I got it. It does all I need and much more. When something’s perfect there’s no reason to buy something else. The only way I’ll buy a newer one is when the screen greatly improves or the battery dies, but I think that will be a while.
This is a fantastic video. Thank you for your time!
This was so helpful! Thanks ☺️
I’m a video editor and I have like $1500 to spend. It’s okay if I buy a used one. What do you think?
Did you try running VMs?
They’re All okay for it. Just have to a configuration that works well for ur use case.
I have the M1 pro since begginning of year 2022 and it runs absoutely amazing now in March 2024. Best purchasing decision ever.
Which is better?
MacBook Air M2 / 8GB / 256GB / 13.6”
Or
Lenovo Slim 7 Prox 14ARH7 14.5” Ryzen 9 6900HS RTX 3050 4GB
Temps and fans for M1 Pro?
I am planning to buy a new MacBook. In my nearby store M2 pro 16 inch is cheaper than M3 pro 14 inch. Can anyone suggest which would be the best option.
16 inch is big like really big. I use it for my work and i have to carry it. But i love writing code on it. The extra screen size helps to read more lines of code. But its a little bit uncomfortable while carrying. Ps i use public transport. 14 inch is really small for coding and designing .
Thanks for the video, I was about to hit my CC with a new M3, after this video, I think I'll keep my M1 for a while
