Congrats on being added to the roster. Best of luck to you and your team.
yess! exactly what i wanted to write.
Big congrats on making Ultimate Frisbee National Team
That's GREAT you are on the team soo dope and exciting for you!!
Wish you all the luck in your challenge !
Congratulations MKBHD!
Crazy how mkbhd doesn’t need a good studio setup to make a great video. Just takes up his Canon R5, starts shooting and speaking like a pro. Love it.
@@paulodetarsojriPhone 6 of course
Not
What? He said in the video this was shot on a Canon R5.
Canon R5, but yes, it's not his first video! hehe
He literally stated that he’s filming this video with a Canon R5 in 4K…
He literally said he records from Canon R5, 9:06. Listen better mate
As usual great video, great insights
yes
Great video
Nice
Nyc
Wow😮😮
Always amazed at how you do the most organised, concise memory dump of your thoughts and all makes sense, no omissions, no double mentions, just perfect, many thanks for your way of creating videos!
Right?
MKBHD is sharp as a tack, as the oldsters used to say!
Good scripting and editing massively helps and MKBHD is incredibly polished when it comes to doing this.
I think the reason behind the constant comparison of M1 and M3 is that the M1 computers are still so good that people may not otherwise upgrade.
If you are using M1 there’s still no need to upgrade
Absolutely. Apple is trying hard to sell the M3 even though the M1 is still a great computer.
@@NatanPereira-zt5hb yeah watch when they are pushing M5 or M6 they’ll bring up these comparisons again
No, it's because the M3 chips are a very tiny upgrade.
I feel like I made the mistake of getting a base-model M1 Air, and I'm constantly hitting memory and CPU/GPU issues. It's been somewhat frustrating, so I was ready to upgrade. It felt absolutely insane to go from an M1 to an M2, but now with the M3 out I can rest a little easier. I put an order in for an M3 Pro which should feel like a 2x improvement for me.
Would be interesting to see an M1 Max compared to a standard M3
m3 would get dunked on
I was thinking the same thing during the event… M1 Max would still probably beat regular M3
M1 max would destroy it. The more interesting comparison is M1 max (32 core) vs M3 pro and M3 max (30 core)
M1 Max would probably beat it, 24/32GPU cores versus the 10 new ones? I think just raw core-count will topple it.
@@diverman1023 My guess is that the standard M3 would dunk on the M1 Max for GPU tasks (games) and single core workloads. Multi core workloads = no question. M1 Max would rule the roost.
I’m an astrophotographer working on a 15” 2015 MacBook Pro rn and I’m thinking about upgrading to an m3 MacBook Pro. I honestly can’t wait to make the jump. Also, marques that video quality is so good and we NEED those ultimate frisbee highlights! Keep up the incredible work!
I gotta say, starlight has been a great colour for me. It's subtle but also really nice to not have just grey, plus not too fingerprinty
My jaw dropped when I saw that text at the end. That to me was the most impressive outcome from tonight's keynote. I, like you, want to see the BTS of the making of this keynote. I hope they have that planned because it will sell a lot more phones.
I'm also glad there's no need for me to upgrade my 14" M2 Pro MacBook. Although they need to keep that space black color around for when I do in a few years.
I bet that's the plan. Apple waits until they are shooting their events using only iPhones, THEN they start delivering behind-the-scenes footage. By that point, there's a marketing incentive.
Edit from next morning: Yup, Apple just uploaded behind-the-scenes footage.
Apple can do a slick editing job of the BTS, preserving mystique, but giving the audience some unscripted views: talent, locations, technical, audio (this event was in Spatial Audio). I think they used the iPhone 15 Pro Max to capture this event in Spatial Video for future Vision Pro content.
It looked pretty good but I literally thought this looks kinda poopy compared to normal
@@CoveringFishthis, especially with the contrast and "artefacts" ? Lights are bleeding out and stuff but it was still beautiful and the sound was exquisite
Don‘t think a BTS will sell iPhones. People will just go “oh duh, if that’s how they did it, I can’t expect that quality from my phone alone, nvm“
Edit: I changed my mind, they did the BTS and talked about it like it's not different at all to their $70k ARRI cameras😂people are gonna buy it
Hardware support for Mesh Shading is a huge deal. It's been on nvidia and AMD's card for ~3 generations now, but finally having it means a lot for 3d graphics, enabling previously impossible polygon counts.
Only 2 for AMD.
I have no idea what you just said
it's insanely powerful you're right
@@Mxy-ff4zk which means you are not the targeting audience of this product anyways, and it makes it easier for you to choose.
Question is, how well will they work. Is it a normal price MacBook Pro, or do you need to pay a lot of money to get a computer that doesn't take a week to render these complex stuff?
I think the M3 chip is designed to attract customers that a) haven't made the jump from intel processors yet or b) purchased an early model M1 chip product. Its kind of like when some people (like myself) who don't like to purchase a new phone year on year but rather skip a year so that I can really notice the boost in performance and efficiency
Intel users dont carre about battery time, those who care already made a jump😂, apple just needs to release new more powerful laptops every year to create more sales like everyone else. There no other agenda just to sell products same way everyone else does, by making new iterations every year
@@racistpixel1017 as amd user who only send email every month and use laptop as youtube device i dont know if i need M3 :D nice laptop but i will not pay 2600£ for 16gb ram and 512ssd 1600 is ok , 1tb ssd 400£ are you crazy :/
@@adredy well if one only uses laptop for something phone does fine, for youtube and sending emails, then only 8gigs of tam and 128gb ssd, m2 air, the cheapest option there is. But those who buy latest and greatest with maxes it midd tier specs... Well those are dumb people at best
@@racistpixel1017 windows 12 now has better support for arm making it run on arm devices better and snapdragon already beat the iphone 15 in performance won't need long to see laptops with arm chips other than apple
@@adredy that makes sense. they can rip us off with the iphone thanks to their superior software. But the pc world does not belong to them
Huge congratulations on competing at WBUC. Have fun! I’m sure USA will do well (but, go GB!). And thanks for the timely reminder that I need to check for livestreams.
My many months decision making process is heading towards a Mac mini, to replace my non-windows 11 compatible computer. So some more delaying while I decide to find a deal on M1/M2 or wait for M3 Mac Mini.
He knew we were just here to see his reaction to the space black MacBook and he kept us on the edge of our seats lmao
When will the macbook air gets black color, midnight is a nice color but its not black
but he grasps it so quickly that even with all that anodized matte black coating that its going to be attracting fingerprints all round - thats y i like MKBHD - Fan from India !!!
Nice to see apple looking like every other black pc laptop, they finally caught up.
@@JC-tg5xx I think Apple tries to reserve black for the Pro models but they just released the black iPhone 15 so who knows.
@@Jeffdachefz matte black is a nice color, unlike those weird gold color or whatever
M1 is sooooo good I don’t see myself upgrading for another 3-4 years. It has aged so well and it would take more than just a color to upgrade.
I feel similarly. My M1 MacBook Air is still chugging along very nicely. I wouldn’t consider an upgrade until at least the M5.
yep. I'm on an M1 Pro with the 16GB of memory and it never even turns on the fans, very very impressed with it
I’m in the same boat, I keep forgetting that it’s multiple years old now cuz it’s so fast.
I have an M1 Max and I can assure you it still feels BRAND new. I mean I don't even hit like 20% CPU or RAM when running my music or video projects. It's madness.
I edit 4K/6K Prores and RAW videos and color grade them in SDR/HDR using ACES and my M1 16GB Macbook Air can still pull it off flawlessly. I won't be upgrading until i see 2-3x IPC improvement.
I love how chill this video is, just Marques and a camera. Good luck with the Ultimate Frisbee tournament!
I have the base M1 Mac with 8 gigs of Ram and 256 gigs of SSD only, so honestly I think the M3 Pro with 36 gigs of Ram and 1TB of storage seems to be a huge improvement to me :D
My wife has original m1 MacBook Pro and the lack of multi monitor support is incredibly frustrating
I dunno if they ever solved it or at which model but from now own it’s a total deal breaker for me. I was shocked that it was even a thing that I had to worry about and also that it wasn’t disclosed anywhere
@@danieldiaz9948 M Pro and M Max both support 2 to 4 monitors
Yeah I agree I’m still using the base M1 MacBook Pro and this upgrade is quite large for me.
How has it been for you? I lost count of how many people dog on 8GB of Ram on a Mac.
3.5 grand bro
A UA-camr at his level editing his own video on a laptop in a hotel... This is what makes Marques a superstar. What a work ethic
He loves what it does... You can tell by how he does it all the time.
He talk about it in the middle of frisbee championship cause he can’t resist it. We know Marques loves what he does.
Indeed 💯
Fan boys are so tiring...
@@Kiev-en-3-jours I'm not a fanboy I'm admiring his work ethic. I fundamentally understand how difficult it is to create content. It's really easy to rest on your laurels.
The end message was the most surprising thing of the whole event for me. I was actually thinking during the event why they don't record it on the iPhone since they praise their video quality so much... I didn't see this coming.
this is the second time I've seen such a high profile video shot on iphone, the first one is NewJeans' ETA MV
That was my exact thought. They are specifically targeting the m1 club to upgrade, not the m2 club.
I like this format. No graphics. Not that the MKBHD can't make, but they obviously chose to keep it simple. Casual and interesting 😊
When they decided on matte black for the M3 line, they definitely had you in mind! I can't count how many time you've asked for matte black
I wonder if they will ever do Vanta black and also the whitest white (>99% reflective, IIRC). Just because they could, of course. :)
They basically just took the Space Black from the iPhone and slapped it on the MacBook
Too bad it's only for the M3 Pro and M3 Max
@@joeldowell5059Marketing Brother, Marketing 🤑🤑🤑
@@ericpmosshopefully not the white
Really interesting that this is finally hitting the mainstream because when it comes to Macs (and phones) but I've been noticing more and more people who just don't bother to upgrade anymore. OR if we need a computer we just walk in and buy the cheapest thing Apple has and it's more than powerful enough for 99% of tasks.
That's why Apple will produce US$ 699 Macbook soon
you still have the usual person that ask if they should wait on a device or save money on last years “for school” (when older model is more than good enough especially for school)
Apple has been very stagnant the past 5 years... Meanwhile the rest of the market is killing it with the technology advances.
@@jackspartan4221what is the rest of the market doing that apple is not able to?
@@jackspartan4221lol like what ? macbook pro is best laptop i’ve ever used in my life. imac has a gorgeous display that has keyboard controls for brightness and you don’t have to worry about turning monitor off and on, cables etc.
My M2 Max MBP is already the perfect laptop to me. I'm surprised Apple decided to upgrade it so quickly after its release. The GPU upgrades would be exciting if more games were available.
I like the Ray tracing but can’t justify for me upgrading from m2 max with non game rendering. I’ll wait for substantial quantity of games first.
this is the perfect take on this. I have the same laptop and honestly they just improved something that you cant even use. Hopefully metal developers become popular
It’s been a lot of fun playing Baldurs Gate 3 on my M1 Pro, at least some top tier games are available.
Which spec 14” MBP PRO with M3 Pro spec would you go for ?
@@CC39which m3 pro models in 14” have ray tracing ?
I have maybe a dozen subscriptions and this channel is one of them. Good luck on the frisbee. Thanks for sounding off on the unexpected news.
Marques always being insanely fast on these Apple updates and insights.
hes turned into a philosopher
he was invited to be part of it as an 'influencer' - it's not that deep LOL
He has to get them on UA-cam fast for views. There's dozens of creators who will do a "quick take" video, and viewers are only going to watch one or two.
Scary fast
@@voodoodiscohe wasn't... Nobody was. It was a virtual event. Did you even watch the video.? He clearly states he is in California for a frisbee tournament. LOL
If MKBHD is not pushing his M1 Max Macbook Pro, there is no way I'm pushing my M2 Mac Mini. I'm very interested to see the lineup of games coming along the new GPU techs.
Thank you Marques. It was very insightful. Was a PC user since the early 90’s. Bought a primo iPad a couple years ago and liking it. Thought I would head for a laptop again. Thanks.
Great video! Would be nice to see a comparison between M2 Pro Chip with M3 Pro Chip, as the numbers of CPU/GPU cores are interesting.
Congrats on your team USA Roster addition. You're the man. Incredibly inspiring to see your journey.
My favorite part was when they compared M3 performance to M1😭
Edit: Yes I realize most people still have M1, I refuse to upgrade because of how good that chip is. I just thought it was a little funny to not compare it to your newest chipset as much as your oldest one :p
Tbf I don’t think most people have m2 anyways
Also surprised they even showed m2 compared to m3
ikr like no shit it's gonna be better
It really shows how small the improvement is if you have to compare to the previous previous chip
We mere mortals don’t buy new macbooks every 12 months.
Another troll. They compared with M1 and M2.
The fact that the entire event was filmed on iPhone 15 Pro Max is mind blowing!
Love all the videos. But. I love the simplicity/format of this one
Love watching your videos. The GOAT in tech reviews. Thank you
3D content creators might benefit the most. I'm eager to see performance tests with Blender and Cinema 4D. I'm curious how the new Macs stack up against Windows laptops in this area.
If you will compare about new Macs capability over power efficiency, Windows is far-far behind the game.
@@joemgapThey have great battery but windows excelled in 3D performance. If they nail the battery and gpu performance it's game over.
@@joemgap Yes, but as any 3D artist will tell you. We dont care about power efficiency. So its a moot point. My M1Max macbook pro will take x5 to x10 times as long to render a scene in blender as would my modest windows PC. If your mac is bricked up with a heavy load for 20 hours leaving you unable to do work. Would you take that over that render being done in 3 hours just because it was more power efficient?
Hardware accelerated ray tracing may put Apple back in the race but it’s too early to tell. I love doing look dev and geo on my Mac but as soon as it’s time to render I ship it to my PC. Would love a single machine workflow!
Nobody who is serious about Blender uses a Macbook Pro. Nvidia GPUs are where it's at.
Hardware ray tracing is probably the most significant upgrade from the M2, and was the biggest feature that the Apple Silicon GPUs have been missing since their launch. Nvidia is now on their fourth generation of GPUs with hardware accelerated ray tracing.
Third actually. Introduced in the 2000 series.
Raytracing is such a buzzword though, who even uses raytracing??
are u crazy? everyone uses it@@zednik8956
@@zednik8956 everyone except you
I do in games, but its not necessary, its nice tho .Look at path tracing lmao@@zednik8956
Good luck in the tournament Marques! If I was a few years younger I would be there.. I love the sport!
Thanks MKBHD for an amazing video as always and man, “All the Best” for your frisbee match!!!
The fact that the entire event was filmed on iPhone 15 Pro Max is mind blowing! 🔥
Wow, was just watching it in 4K and didn't even think of that. That's 🔥
He litrelly said he recorded form canon r5 9-10 min range?
He said he recorded it on a Canon R5. In the minute 9:08
Why don't my shit look like that....🤣😂
@@suryanshsaxena5489talking about the apple event not his video
Good luck in the match! I'm one of the M1 Max MBP users and while I'm probably in their use case as I do a lot of ML and Software Dev - I think I'm going to wait. The Space Black is an intriguing color, but between fingerprints and the inevitable scratches - I don't know if I can do that color. In your review (or when you talk to Apple), ask them about scratch resistance. A silver MBP hides all the small nicks and scratches very well.
Silver 16“ M1 Max user here too💪
I agree. I recently switched from M1 MBA (silver) to M2 MBA (Midnight). I use my electronic devices really carefully, but the laptop got a minor scuff while travelling. Bugs me all the time. If you do get a dark, use a skin. (but then, what even is the point of getting a dark color)
I wanted buy mac for ML and DL, Does it work well ? Cuz mac does not have nvidia gpu
Why not just offload your jobs to an HPC?
Makes sense depending on the use. If you use a lot of RAM heavy applications, the M3 still uses LPDDR5 instead of the faster LPDDR5X, might be better wait for an M4 where they'll (probably) upgrade to a faster unified memory.
I like the Touch Bar, sad it’s gone
Congrats on playing with the team! Hope you guys crush it!!!!!
M3 improvements from M2 are really miniscule. A very minor update for general use, but it does unlock some niche features and workflows
yeah I'm guessing they know most m2 folks aren't upgrading anyways
Interesting, I felt the opposite after looking at it all. I had no urge to go to the m2 and even recommended buying a used or refurbished m1 machine to most people, but looking at it all I definitely would recommend the m3 more than a used m2. Granted I do work in a more cpu and gpu intensive setting than most but to me it seems like a good upgrade
yeah i agree with you guys. very few people are going to upgrade their laptop every year because it’s just silly. it seems to me that they were really targeting intel based and m1 based users
Thorugh-out the entire presentation they compared to .....M1 constantly
Agree. Not Apple’s fault the economy is terrible, but such a small bump (and comparing performance to the M1 is just embarrassing) isn’t going to make much difference. As he stated, the matte blk may drive more sales than the specs.
My 2017 MBP is still great so short of winning the lottery…
So happy that all your hard work is being honored with being part of the tournament. People probably underestimate the hard work and commitment to get there. 👏
Great impromptu video Marques. I agree, if your present Mac is working for you there is no need to upgrade, but if you have the opportunity to upgrade and "future proof" your Mac where it will surpass a great number of years might be worth it. Just a thought. I hope you did well with your tournament.
The thing that you talk with honesty, is why I support you always. Thank you for your honesty
I just started filming things on my 15 Pro and I must say the new pro res log format is a game changer. It doesn't surprise me the even was shot on an iPhone because the new iPhone video processing is amazing.
Congratulations on making the team. Thank you for sharing with us your thoughts on the recent Mac Event even though you are preparing for the Ultimate Freebie Beach World Championships. Greatly appreciate it and you. Take care and have fun.
CONGRATS!! PROUD OF YOU!!
Congrats on making the team brother!!
I too was blown away when I saw "Shot on iPhone" at the end of the Keynote. I have the 14PM and I couldn't be happier with it, but the 15PM sure does feel like an upgrade I would appreciate.
With how good the M series of chips have gotten, I wonder if Apple will try their hand in the gaming space again. With a bigger cooling system, I think an optimized and gaming focused M chip could have some solid performance.
“With games like mist”😂
But if the can get Star Citizen to run with VR
That would be something
it will take at leat 5 years before macbooks can become a seriors gaming device. And it is all Apple fault.
It's not about the hardware, it's about Apple's refusal to support industry standard software.
The issue with gaming isn't power, but compatibility
I would love a really efficient gaming laptop and apple could do it
Good luck on that tournament! Looks like a very fun competition
Thanks for another quality presentation my dude! 🔥
If you have to compare M3 with your older M1 chips to make the difference seem bigger then it really shows how small the actual improvement is, Also a "Pro" Macbook with 8gb of ram in 2023? and don't get me started with the 256gb of storage in the NEW m3 imac
thats true but it also makes sense because the product isn't really targeted at M2 users but towards M1 and prior users
yeah the only thing that was exciting was the gpu dynamic cache imo
well, the m1 and m2 seem to be variations of the same thing but this seems to be a totally new chip.
Ngl the m1 pro is still great. Like I get that m3 is faster but m1 pro is fast enough for most things.
When watching the keynote, the main thing seems to be trying to get M1 Users to upgrade and people still on Intel.
Congrats on the ultimate frisbee spot Marques! It’s an amazing achievement and a great thing to see your goal come to fruition. Good luck 💪
Also liked the final note about the battery still running!
Really like what you did with the lamp behind you.
It's inspiring to see that even after all of these years, with a full-blown staff and studio behind you, you can still just grab a phone camera and pull off a straightforward, no bells-and-whistles, video just like that. Thanks Marques for providing quality content no matter what method you choose!
If you mean the keynote, it wasn't just like that.
If you mean mkbhd, it wasn't a phone camera.
@@SimonVaIe I think the first part was with a iPhone, there was a lot of wobbling of the background like he was using the wide angle lens.
@@winjaywin knowing mkbhd they're using canon's R5 cameras and wide lenses on those wobble a lot in the corners. Especially the most popular 16-35 RF
Yes the famous phone the canon r5
It would've been funny if he ended his video with "Shot on X and edited on MacBook Pro"
2 weeeks ago I bought M2 Max Mac Studio, 64GB RAM 1TB Storage. So I think it's enough for me for next 7 to 8 years.
💯 I don’t understand why folks feel like they need to change macs every 1-2 years. It’s a bit wasteful.
@@zackbrakbecause people want the “new” thing
Congrats on the team!! 🎉
Bruh, how do you have energy to do this, I'm simply amazed!
As an architect, my general laptop is an M1 Max, but I've needed to keep a high end Windows/NVIDIA machine just for autodesk software and live 3D high res modeling w/ray tracing (unreal/twinmotion). Interested to see if we might be able to go all mac soon.
nope no way, MAC gpu don't stand chance against a rtx 4060, not even mentioning 4090, which is about 2x as fast.
Mac integrated GPUs will never by anywhere near discrete GPUs, and never will be. It's impossible to have that sort of computational power in such a small package.
@@KryssN1 We don't have benchmarks yet. how are we supposed to know that? Obv not 4090 performance, but we have no idea where it sits.
I’m envious of your career! Wish you all the best and wealth
same same!.. can't wait for Pathtracing - finally!.. hopefully!.. - running on MY machine and not some farm.
I hope the reason they aren’t releasing a USB C keyboard, mouse, and trackpad, is that they are redesigning the Magic Mouse. It would make sense to keep both bundled accessories using the same port, so I expect they will not stagger the release of them. The Magic Mouse at least needs a new charging port location, but a change to its ergonomics would also be welcome.
Great points. I feel similar. I also think the Magic Mouse is too small
The accessories need the upgrade & Apple has to know it
Yeah i wish new apple mouse. Waiting patiently. They should inceese back bump and make it like simple mouse but with those unique touch conttols
Calling it now, Apple has partnered with some big name PC mouse company to make a redesigned magic mouse. I wouldn’t be surprised if they partnered with Logitech for stuff like this.
They had more than a decade to learn what works for the industry, and I hope they took notes from MX Master product line.
Magic mouse was a Steve jobs era product, and tbh good riddance.
Alternatively, Apple might go the wireless route and have mouse controls similar to their VR setup.
@@robster7787 but mx master is too heavy and thick so if they do its something in between. Probably it will be quite nice
@@domantasbronusas it's heavy and thick but comfortable. I believe they've lost most of their target audience to Logi. All the engineers, PM's and designers I work with have a Logi. None have the Magic Mouse anymore.
I have the fan-less MacBook from early 2016.
Still works very well and is in good condition. Although the battery is far worse than how it was before.
So I definitely plan to upgrade once the 14” becomes available.
Same plan as me!
That is one hell of a leap
@@SanchezS1998that’s what most of us do, at the end of this month I’ll take a series x for the Black Friday, updating from an early base model Xbox one. Though it’s still running pretty strong. Same as my og fat 360
I went from a 15 years old 35 inches tv to a 65 ambilight oled one last year. When my 2020 iPhone SE breaks, I’ll upgrade to what will probably be the iPhone 16, 17 or 18 at that point.
Most of the people I know keep tech for as long as we can, normally 3 to 6 years or even more.
What’s held up soooo greatly is my Bose soundlink color and my skull candy hesh 3. Those are indestructible.
Yea, I have the 2015 MacBook Pro and it runs out of ram fast and switches to swap which makes the computer lag and get hot. Will also be upgrading.
@@headintheclouds2 the macs last sooo long, I got one lying around from 2012, only issue is the charging cable
I'm rocking a 14inch M1 Pro here and I don't see myself upgrading this thing for a pretty good while. It's just too good.
Enough for M1 or Intel based MacBook users to upgrade, definitely not for those using M2. Unless you're digging that beautiful matte Space Black finish 🖤
Yeap😊
Nothing else has been upgraded other than the chip, not worthy
I think i'm still fine chillin with the M1. It still doesn't even sweat with the workload i normally do. Intel users though yeah, it's prob the best time to switch.
Intel users can even benefit by upgrading to MacBook Air M2! Still a huge leap. If they dont need Pro performance
I’m M1, I’m not exaggerating when I say I NEED this update🤣. The black is just a plus.
I think it's reasonable that they compared with the M1 products since the people who own M1 are the most likely to be buying these new macs. That being said, I have an M1 Pro 14" MacBook Pro base spec and it's fantastic. Still very fast, great battery life, awesome speakers and screen etc. No plans to upgrade until maybe the M5 or M6.
i always felt like that was the point of macbooks anyway. not to replace every year or two like a phone but to hold onto it for a good while. I know a few of my music producer buddies who still use macbooks from like 2017 because they still get the job done well
maybe m1 macbook air owners, but even then, most macbook air users are not tech savy and think everything is fast lol, so might think their laptop is still perfect. I think like 10 percent of m1 macbook pro owners will update to m3 pros. Most of the upgrades i think will come from ppl who own intel based macbooks.
Maybe instead of catering for Mac owners and trying to get them to upgrade every two years, they should start looking into getting more windows users into using macs.
Until they start slowing it down by software…

stay safe
I think they understand that it might take 2 gens before people are upgrading. Same w/ phones. Things never sound like major upgrades if you have the most up to date thing, but if you're a couple gens behind, they might become interesting.
It is not an interesting topic to me, but I appreciate you doing such a raw video, that is solely about your channels biggest strength, a in the end personal opinion of a well experienced and quite reflected tech user.
I hope this doesn´t sound condescending. I appreciate many of the ways you bring towards your work, only sometimes the polishedness or titles of the videos might direct away from the essence, that´s why this was in a good way surprising to me, that you see this as valid of a video as the high effort productions.
I have an M1 MacBook Pro and it is still an absolute beast. Never runs slow, a fan has never turned on and the battery life is still as amazing as when I first got it. Plus, I love the touchbar.
9:55 when mkbhd talk about how event shot in iphone , he did that too in his video
Congrats Bro on the selection and good luck to your Frisbee game. Achieving and following your passion is inspiring even at people like me at 40's. And yes the Space Black / Matte Black is actually tempting :)
i really like this video more than the studio ones honestly idk why though
is it the way he speaks? is it the personal vlog direction? is it the honesty?
Hey Marques, love the video and the information you provided! I wanted to point out that in your talking head video there was a bit of wobbling affect going on in the background. not sure if this was due to some type of rolling shutter from the canon r5, the lens' distortion, or the warp stabilizer added in post?
Thanks for the amazing content as usual!
7:06 You can see him being excited and calming hisself not to upgrade 😂
There are three types of Mac that might have a big difference. The iMac, the new base level 14” Pro and the Mac’s with the M3 Pro Max in. The first two are obvious but the Pro Max on had the biggest leap in graphics performance. So it’ll be interesting to see if this makes a difference in real world applications.
Cool for me that they focused on DNA sequencing - I love my M1 MacBook Pro for my single cell transcriptomics work and a few years ago it would have been quite difficult to do that work on a laptop. I won’t be replacing mine just yet but maybe the next model.
This kind of work belongs on servers, not laptops
@@PKlabrador If you’re talking patient sequences there’s something to be said for the security of a server to protect privacy, but I don’’t work with human samples. If a laptop can do it, why pay for time on a cluster?
You're right and I was generalizing too much, sorry. It's fantastic that laptops are starting to be able to do these tasks. I try to avoid to using a cluster until I have a pipeline optimized, but the happy medium I find is a physically owned server. Centralized, always on (don't have to worry about plugging laptop in), can connect through command line/jupyter/rstudio server and internal storage is significantly cheaper than Apple! It's amazing what can be done with a 12th/13th gene intel or equivalent AMD

Great first impressions, @MKBHD! Your initial take on the MacBook Pro was insightful and informative. Can't wait for the full review!
Oh wow. The fact that it was shot on iPhone is unbelievable, but what makes it mind blowing is the fact that they had such dark scenes and still looked amazing. I couldn’t have told it was shot on an iPhone
It wasn’t? This was shot on a canon camera.
@@moritzwagner4332 the comment was in reference to the keynote and not to the MKBHD video. At the end of this video he said that the Apple Keynote was shot on the iPhone and Edited on Mac, but MKBHD’s video was of course short on the Canon.
@@moritzwagner4332 I guess one didn't watch until the end.... 10:07
If you edit a lot, you can get that. The difference is that blacks are crushed... You can literally tell that they're not at the same level as professional camera: the editor had to work harder. Also there is a lot of CGI in between and behind and etc.
It is like Openheimer: shot on film, shot in some scenes with digital, then digitalized for post production to be reprinted and then another digital to analog for cheapest releases.
More work, worse performance, for what? A text at the end...
It is like the "titanium" on iPhone pro max and then the back glass is weaker...
@@TrioLOLGamers With regards to film, it has a better dynamic range than digital cameras. Nasa still uses film for shooting the spacecraft launches. It captures the details in the fire better. It would also have helped with the explosions in Oppenheimer. Also, detail: IMAX 70mm is equivalent to 18k digital resolution.
Estaba buscando información sobre la MacBook M3 y encontré este video, muchas gracias por esta información, me parece muy interesante todo el análisis que realizas. Saludos. 👍
Nice cameo from Tim there, good collab!
Good stuff getting on that team man!
I kind of like this style of videos as much, if not better. Very simple, and that's the way I like these impressions videos anyways. Good luck on your tournament!
MKBHD if you are seeing this, of course all the hard work you put in the other videos matter
@@gaeborgAgreed, I didn't mean that in a negative way, it's just a throwback to his older vids... which were great.
Congratulations on the team.
Fantastic as always Marques!
Marques had me smiling when he said "Amazing Production"
I can only imagine what wonders the MKBHD team would do if they were the guys behind the next Apple Keynote. 🤯
PS: Thanks for this update. You are an absolute treat to watch Marques 🖤
His intros are unironically better than what Apple can come up with.
Great video, especially, creating this from a hotel room! I've seen other channels speculate that some of the biggest improvements of a 3 nm chip have to do with 2 big improvements in efficiency and one performance improvement. As I understand it, the 3 benefits derived from that upgrade in efficiency are: 1) Lowered power consumption, i.e. less wasted natural resources and longer battery life, 2) Lowered heat generation, and 3) improved performance under heavy loads because with less heat generation also comes less performance throttling. Although I do modest amounts of video editing and zero gaming, I definitely AM interested in using my computer for flight simulation as a serious flight training resource. Flight Sim programs are notorious for using only one graphics core for 99% of the work. Historically, this has run computers HARD and very HOT. That's a problem if a person's workflow also works better with a laptop because a lot of work requires computer use while "out in the field". If a computer could do the heavy lifting required by Flight Sim programs when I'm home, but could also be portable when I'm working away from home (laptop), that would be the Holy Grail of computers for me. Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but the combination of efficiency and performance made possible by the M3 seems like it might fulfill all of that? The efficiencies of the M1 and M2 were fine as far as power draw, but were still not quite there with heat dissipation as far as Flight Sim and 3D rendering work. My sense is that the 3 nm technology promises a big reduction in heat generation. Any thoughts on this? Is this a test you would be interested in doing? Thanks Marques!
Basically, yes. Smaller feature size does mean less charge to store, and lower voltage means lower current and lower temps, and that the transistors can switch in less time even at the same “slew rate” (~ “ramp up speed”). It also means they can pack more RAM and cache on the one chip, which means the fastest memory read/write cycles, plus more cores.
This video is awesome. Reminds me of the old days in the dorm.
I am intrigued to see how many of these i spot in lectures after the christmas break
I worked on the 14 inch version for the past year and a half or so. So happy to finally have it launch
Give me 50% discount
i can tell you for coding it's phenomenal. at work i use a m2 mini and i haven't upgraded my personal laptop since i got the m1 air. fast, reliable and portable. used to be a linux poweruser and decided to get the cheaper m1 air, haven't touched a non apple computer since then.
what coding are you doing? For me it's been quite the opposite, so many issues with virtualisation and pckg compatibility, the battery is an absolute joke (it lasts a maximum of 4 hours on a good day), and the OS is full of bugs and super unintuitive (I guess last one is just in my opinion and experience), maybe I am using it at its limit...but always tried to use it even for simple tasks and in my experience it has never been better than an intel/amd cpu in programming.
@@BladeDark93battery last only 4 hours are you even using a m series MacBook
@@BladeDark93 4hours? stop the cap. i had a base m1 air that i sold off, i could easily get around 8 hours off of it constantly keeping it on and working
@@BladeDark93 If you're virtualising x86, then I imagine it would probably still make more sense to use an x86 machine for your use case.
@@ruga129 2021 14' M1 pro got it from new
ive been working on a late 2013 macbook pro since it came out, im so juiced to get one of these new ones. This bad boy is still kicking to this day, but it is quite tired, and has a hard time keeping up with all the newest software. Cant wait!
Congrats on representing our country! Looking forward to the upcoming Mac videos!
Congratulations Marques that's freakin' awesome🎉
been thinking about getting the M2 waiting a bit, glad i did so now i'll get the m3 currently still on a 2015 macbook pro
