    CJ...this is an EXCELLENT video...and a SUPERB discussion of headroom and budgeting for a MacBook Pro!! This was SO helpful for me. I'm upgrading from a heavily optioned 2019 MacBook Pro Intel...and attempting to decide whether I want the 16" M3 Pro...or the 16" M3 Max. Just for headroom alone I'm seriously considering taking the plunge for the M3 Max. In any event...I really appreciate your work here. Thanks very much!

    I upgraded to the 14in M3 Max (14 CPU, 30 GPU, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD) from a base model 2018 Intel Macbook Pro Touch Bar. It got to the point where my fans were ramping up while just browsing the web and screen mirroring content. I am excited I did though. I always felt that macbook was holding me back performance wise. Video editing on it was slow and inefficient (crashed a lot or space issues). Its nice have a computer that doesn't cook your legs while performing basic or PRO tasks. I also used some discounts to lower the price while trading in my older macbook as well. Apple gave me $310 for the macbook, and my student discount brought the price down from $3199 to $2899. Out the door price was $2802.59

    I'm waiting to see how much performance will Final cut run between the 3 chips for M3. I've been waiting to replace my old IMAC 27 2015 and wanted another IMAC but; Apple is not looking to replace it. This would be my first MAC laptop and since I do a lot of video editing with Final Cut. I like the more storage in a laptop vs my IMAC Having 1TB SSD but I have external drives and not have to travel.

    hope the touchbar comes back.. above the f keys for instance. on my 2019 16", I use the touch bar constantly, especially in logic, final cut, motion and maya (and even in WoW I've set it up for easy select of dungeon members when healing). it's perfect for my workflow instead of having to mess around with keyboard shortcuts. sure, volume control only on the touch bar is annoying, that's why it should be above the function/combo keys. there is space for it..

    Hi! Loved the video! I was wondering if the difference between the binned vs not binned pro is going to be a significant downgrade? I was considering the base 16 inch for me, as I have a lot of external storage and iCloud as a solution. But the 500 price difference to the base 14 m3 pro is kind of nice… but the binned version and screen size worry me! Helppp

    • @CJKnowsTECH

    So here is the thing. For my requirements I need a 16 GB unified memory and 1 TB SSD . The number of cores shouldn’t really matter I just want a machine for 5+ years. The 96W can be added premium. So with the specs I mentioned. I should be fine with a m2 pro or even M1 Pro. But that color is tempting. So now the question is should I get the 11 core one and upgrade to my requirements or should I just get the unbinned version of m3 pro? The difference in price for the upgraded binned version and the unbinned 12c is freaking $180 😢
    Yeh I hate the Apple marketing team geniuses.

    would you take:

    - Refurb 16' M2 Max 12‑CPU 38-GPU 32GB 1TB? (from Apple Refurb)
    Both are going for around the same price point.

    Or buy a MacBook Air when it's updated to M3 and of course, 16 GB ram and 512 SSD
    Currently my 2017, MacBook Pro is broken (flexgate) For me it's very important that the Macbook last very long. I use it only for web browsing, office programs, and to make charts and cards for my buisness for me its 500€ gap should i invest that?
