I've picked the one without nano-texture because I want more rich and punchy colors. :) Mine is the base 14" with M4 Pro -> 24GB RAM/512GB SSD.
Im considering buying the one you got! Any issues?
I got the exact same lol and its coming today in space black.
@@vinilreddy3044 none! Everything is perfect. :)
@@thedevilsTV How is it?
@vhateg it's rapid, and also love the new apple intelligence built in. So very satisfied with the purchase.
You're going to extremes. You're saying if you're stacking 4K footage on very complex long and heavy duty video editing then maybe this isn't enough but if you're doing a quick TikTok is fine. There's a lot between there that this laptop is capable of doing. In fact is capable of doing most work anyone can throw at it.
@carlosmcse yes, exactly!!!
This laptop is a GODSEND. Currently using a macbook air 2017. This is absolutely perfect for me. Looking into getting it.
That is what I'm upgrading from. Wanted the Pro screen and active cooling. Didn't want to wait for the M4 Air.
I have never seen a Matt screen that I preferred. I agree with you, the color and contrast of glossy are more important for my use.
The M4 base is what I’m getting
I think the 16 inch is probably a really good offer, with 48gb of ram and 1 tb with no nano texture . I’m picking one up tomorrow! 😊
why without nano texture? (agree with everything else)
Probably because Bestbuy has the non nano texture models on sale for $300 off
@@google_doodles-games the standard screen already gets bright enough for any form of indoor light, nano texture better of you use your laptop outdoors
@google_doodles-games if you mostly use it in a room without windows or bright lights then it isn't worth the extra money + colors are slightly duller on nano texture but not a lot
@@google_doodles-games In my opinion, I like the glossy look; I also like the colours that glossy has; it's more dark, which I like. I also use my MacBook inside most of the time, so there's no need for me or people like me to get a Nano. It also looks weird to me, looks cheap, and I have been hearing a lot of people returning their Macs because the nano wasn't what they expected.
I’m literally returning mine for an M4 Pro 16 in. I bought the base model with 1tb
Can you tell me why you returned it for a 16 inch? is it that much better?
@jc-iz8lp the 16 has a more powerful M4 Pro processor and the speakers are a lot more powerful, bigger fans make it run faster and quieter than even the 14 inch version with the same processor and the bigger screen could all be reasons potentially
@@jc-iz8lp yeah it’s pretty much due to everything the other comment was saying. There’s simply more power and better hardware with the 16 inch. I caught it at a great price for Best Buy’s door buster
Agreed. The glowing logo WAS cool. 😔😫
I think i will buy the base M4, with 24 RAM and 512 SSD (i hesitate with 1To but i use external SSD)
Honestly the only way I see value of the base M4 is in the Mac Mini and that 600$ price tag... for few hundred dollars more you get much more value out of a Macbook Pro M4 PRO
Same here. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Eric!
I don’t know why they took the logo in the back of the Mac that lights up..shit was dope..
Takes up battery, put that performance elsewhere!
This is the earliest that I’ve ever been to one of your videos! Happy Thanksgiving man 🦃
Salute! Happy Thanksgiving bro!
@@SimplyPops I agree with you about the lit up Apple logo! I miss it too. This video helped me decide to get the base M4 > M4 Pro. That extra $ I would have used for the M4 Pro will go towards AppleCare. Having said that, do you still recommend any cases (or skins) for the MacBook? Or just rock no case if I’m investing in AppleCare?
I was just about to comment and ask what camera you using. Right as I’m about to do it at 4:00 you say it !! Haha great review ! God Bless
I tried to buy a MacBook Pro M4 Pro twice, but both had cosmetic flaws. I ended up returning them and decided to give up on owning a MacBook.
like what?
@ The first, from a premium reseller, had paint flaking off type-C ports. The second, from Apple’s official store, had paint flaking from a screen corner. Both were space black. I returned both and gave up buying.
Me too I've just sent back my MBP space black coz it was scratched on the case side bottom
Yaa, that's why they are on sale in Bestbuy 😂 i returned mine for the same reason. Shiny keycaps with fingerprints everywhere.
If the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Max and the base model MacBook Pro with M4 Pro are available for the same price, which would you choose?
I have decided on 16”, however, I don’t know if I NEED 24 or 48 for memory. New to Mac. Will be used for SOME music creation and running tracks as well ell as creating/posting social media video. Don’t know how to edit yet, so all of this will be a learning curve for me, but I’m determined. Any suggestions? Much help and feedback appreciated.
I was waiting for video ❤❤
Do you recommend the 12-core pro chip or the 14-core pro chip? Having a hard time deciding between them both. A little longer battery vs extra performance
Depends on what your user case is and how long you plan on keeping it.
@ about 5 years
@Wunderkinddd the m4 pro is quiet a bit more powerful than the base m4 in terms of graphics power so unless what you do needs a lot of graphics processing, the base m4 is good enough
@@yejoonyang9552 read my comment again, I don’t care about the base m4
@Wunderkinddd reason stays the same, do you need that extra graphics performance?
Link to NAS you use?
great review. Just copped me an MBP M4 Space Black >>> coming from an Intel MBA 😂
how are the thermals?
Question reg. NAS, do you backup the NAS or 100% trust it'll not fail?
What do you need these days to create Excel files? The same Excel that exists for 30 years + which I could operate with laptop harvesting a 1000 less power… this is just madness
Nice honest, real review! Thank you!
I really need to update from my 2017 mac air - but idk if it's worth getting a m4 pro just to do basic work like emails, writing, multiple tabs open, etc would the m4 just be overkill? Should I just go with like an m2 or something?
Best right now for you is probably the m3 air then.
@@thedevilsTV but when is the M4 MacBook Airs getting released next year?
@americanprincess851 not sure, I personally went for the M4 Pro as I could use the extra ram and speed as I want to do some video editing and graphic design.
@@thedevilsTV oh okay. I see thank you.
Apple needs to put in pair of white gloves when buying the space black MacBook Pro!
Free Germany
you have a very good camera
Please Don’t buy base model if you are a professional 💀 video files, specially RAW are large. Clients sometimes need footage from previous projects so you have keep juggling between external ssds very inefficient workflow.
Get a PC with lots of storage, cheaper & way more faster than MAC.
NAS!!! I'm in. Been waiting too long. 👍🏾
Great video
Is 24gb ram is enough??? For editing 4k vids too with 1-2 layers of mogrts
Happy Thanksgiving by the way!!
loooool
More than enough. I have one. You won't be disappointed. 16" 14/20/24/1TB configuration.
@@jimtipton8888this would be my first MacBook Pro coming from a intel iMac I got for highschool. Is this M4pro the best bang for buck purchase and reasonable to spend on for future proofing my film career in video editing and those kind of stuff ?
i want to get this MacBook pro m4 base model as my main computer i do bike videos with 5.3k 60fps with the gopro 12 the footage is usually an hour and i cut it down 10-20 minutes i use cap cut and vlog star as a editor i do want to check out different editors as well, im also switching between apps and watching youtube videos while exporting my videos, do you think this base model will handle all that with no problem and no freezing?
I think the base M4 PRO chip set might be better for you. I’m also leaning towards that model since I edit videos and delve into a bit of music production.
What is Apple Silicon? And can we mirror our android phone 📱?
You buy a Samsung galaxybook simple!!!
AI Apple Innovation ... same stuff new chip
apples updates on their laptop cameras is so police its not even funny smh...nobody ask for that
WHY the title says REGRET ?????
to bait clicks
I need to look up a size comparison for my MacBook i7 15in 2016. To the m4 14 and 16 inch.
I want a smaller screen than my 15in just because when I use it when in bed watching tv it blocks my tv unless I’m sitting up which idk. But the cooling is my biggest concern for a compact 14in compared to the 16 where it has a larger chasity.
Nano texture I’ve been on the fence with. Less eye strain would be nice but the deep blacks and color richness I like with the gloss
Waste of money
poor ass lol
