    Just got a refurbished MacBook M1 pro, employee discount come in clutch, traded in my M2 MacBook air for 650 and only. had to pay 285 dollars and was able to put apple care on it, this thing is a BEAST, can handle my work flow far better then the m2 believe it or not, it was a base model with only 8 gb of ram so the jump to 16gb and 1tb of storage is amazing!

    I just got my very first MacBook Pro and I got to say this has been super super nice. It was a bit hard for me to follow as you went through all the settings quickly but the little path finders throughout the sections that show where to go helped me figure out how to do it on my MacBook and I paused very frequently lol thanks for the help in setting it up :D now if only I could hide the notch lol I do like the little bar at the top with all the important info being nice and small though :D I am so used to my windows computer having absolutely nothing on the screen so I can just see my wallpaper but it's not too bad on Mac :D

      @@stopsmilelike 🤔 I am not sure if it comes with a keyboard and mouse as I just bought mine from Apple's website but if you're getting the MacBook Laptop it will have a keyboard built in but no mouse. I just got that little bluetooth mouse that people recommend called Pebble for like 25 bucks it works really well with the apple devices.
      But, I think the MacBook M1 chip is a really solid price and still a great machine especially if you don't need a really heavy workload. I mostly use mine for spreadsheet data and team project management and software development so it works out really well just make sure you get the storage you'd like. I went for the M2 Pro Chip with 16gb of memory and 500gb storage and that's much more than I need :)

    Hey man, I’m just starting my “content creator” hobby I created a UA-cam channel and I want to buy a MacBook and my old desktop PC(that I currently edit) is a entry level Intel 10th gen. I was thinking on getting the m2 MacBook Pro 16in base model (19core gpu) I’m from Brazil and even getting the 32gb ram 14in m2 pro 512GB SSD it’s more expensive than the base 16in by a hefty amount, I only use for normal tasks and video editing (8-10 minutes) 4K H.264 with some b-roll all shot in my Sony Zv-e10 sigma 16mm also some lower thirds and light motion graphics Titles through the video, is the base 16in enough ?
