WHY PAY MORE?! 14" M1 Base Model M1 Pro vs 13" M1 MacBook Pro
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2021
- Should you buy the 14” M1 Pro Base Model or the 13” M1 MacBook Pro? Should you upgrade from the 13” M1 Macbook Pro to the 14” M1 Pro Base Model? This is the 14” M1 Pro MacBook Pro, and as someone has been using the 13” M1 MacBook Pro since it was released, I am super excited - because we finally have a real MacBook Pro. You see, the 13” wasn’t really a MacBook Pro, it was kind of a MacBook Pro Light - and with this new model Apple took a lot of the things that frustrated me about the 13” MacBook Pro and fixed them. So let’s put these two - head-to-head, see if the 14” is worth the extra money, talk about whether you should upgrade if you already have the 13” - and we also need to talk about this whole notch situation!

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the M1 MacBook Pro and the 14” Base Model M1 Pro was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
Would love to know what you think - which one would you go with?
Can you please tell me the brand of your t-shirt?
So M1 is already enough power for me, and I am deciding between more battery life (13 M1) and more ports (14 M1 pro)...
for me, I'm ok with the macbook pro M1 13 "because I'm satisfied. I don't have to switch to the pro 14" it will waste a lot of money and the apple company will be happy😂😂😂
I already got the 13" M1... Apple can only get so much money from me. The M1 is an amazing processor, it will age like wine.
Good move - enjoy the one you have!
I have been debating this, I have the 13' M1 and want the 16" just for the screen size nothing else.
Set a budget guys.. Go by budget. Unless a business can pay for it or it's your full time job I don't see myself being able to afford the 14 inch. If you have the money why not! But m1 macbook pro it is for me
I bought an m1 macbook pro over the air as I need my processor cooled properly.
☕️👍
Given the blow out prices on the base M1, I bought both, and tried a few hubs to gain ports. The Macbook Pro base seems to have enough power to run everything I want to do, at the same time,, but I like more screen real estate, and I'm going to change the Mini I haven't opened to 512/16 gigs. Each machine will get about half the use, and I actually like the touchbar.
I'm a Windows guy, but the new silicon defies conventions for ram we use in the windows world. I'll end up running my Windows machine as a server. The pro and max have their places, but alot of what I'm using isn't ready for OS Monterey. A very small part of me wants to exchange the 13 base for a 14 pro, but I'm trying to keep it quiet. 13inch M1 battery life and weight are the bomb ! Podcasts, remote music production, bus powered Focusrite interface, in the thousand dollar range.
Thank you for the review, very detailed, very clear and well researched. 14" is definitely an upgrade on almost all areas, except battery life, however, for the double price, it's difficult to justify for an upgrade from 13 to 14 inch. I'm quite happy with the 13" mac book pro and 1 thunderbolt with a good quality usb C hub is fine with me, and the other on power supply.
:D
Good review man. I’m still sticking with my 13” M1. It may only be 8GB with 512 SSD but it does everything I need flawlessly. Simple web browsing, email, and watching videos. If I do have any regrets is that I didn’t go with the 2020 Air for cheaper. 😅
Very detailed video. You hit all the important stuff. The MBP 13 inch is a great device for people who want a little more than the MBA but don’t want to or need to spend $2000
I appreciate the feedback and the support!
Exact reason i chose my 13 inch
If one intended to buy a spec'd out 13" M1 Pro (think its around $1700) then the base 14" Pro $2000) is a better choice, if you want all the extra stuff as well
I discuss this at the end, let me know what you think
@@TechGearTalk Wow, I just read my comment again and realised it sounds more like a question than a statement.
I think the base 14" Pro is incredible value if you wanted a 512GB storage 16GB ram 13" M1. For the $300 extra, the new screen, updated design, more ports, fast charge, more performance is a steal at that increase in price. But if all you wanted was a 265GB storage 8GB ram 13" Pro, then the 14" is not worth it.
Is there even a 13” M1 Pro MacBook Pro ?
@@brutaltruth7197 Lol I meant 13” M1 MBP. This naming scheme is getting convoluted XD
So true, literally what I was thinking
Thanks for the video Sagi, I was stuck between both models but you've helped me decide on the M1 Pro 14"!
Thanks for the explanation. Very helpful!
Well made video, answered all my questions, thank you
Been watching your videos since M1 made its debut and I enjoy your vids very much!
I got the 13” M1 MacBook Pro with 512gb of SSD and 8gb back in January at a great discount provided by my university and coming from a 2015 MacBook Pro it was day and night. I love my M1 Pro and am more than happy with it! Still insanely fast and battery is just magical!
Although I do wish Macs supported engineering software such as solid works it’s alright for now. It does support arduino and Matlab though. But once solidworks is natively supported on M1 Macs it’s a wrap for me and, I imagine, other engineers. These M1’s are no joke!
Anyways, great content and I will continue to support your channel!
I ordered my 14” and will be receiving it this weekend. I don’t know why we can’t just admit that many of these advances are simply going back to good things we used to have, like normal ports and keyboards!
Seriously!! Going back to almost the same ports my 2013 MB Air has -___-
Really good review help a lot thanks Ziki
Love this video!! Great work Sagi!!
Thanks brother!!! 🙏
I just went with M1 since I got a $250 discount on 8-512gig set up. Since I only do occasional lightroom edit, web browsing and word processing, M1Pro would be just overkill for me.
Great review and comparison! Esp for a person considering either1 of these MBP!
Another nice honest straightforward informative video, keep they coming
I will continue to do my best
Thanks for the info seeing this and saving money for 14 inch mac🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for your informative videos, I would be lost without you! I am wanting to buy an external monitor for my MacBook Pro 14” - and you said it can handle 60 hertz… does this mean I shouldn’t get a 75 hertz as an external monitor? I do graphic design, so a good screen is important! However, I’m also on a tight budget! 😬 Recommendations?
Great comparison, the 14’ sounds absolutely perfect for me in the new year despite the hike in price. Many Thanks. 🙏
So glad I could help. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Thank you very much for actually showing footage of the 2 cameras and the sound :D
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for being part of the channel!
Where do you get your backgrounds from? they are gorgeous
Thanks Sagi, great comparison as always! 😎👍🏻
Thanks Jason!!! 🙏
Awesome review! Please I'd like to know where i could download the image for the wallpapers you used in both macbooks
Hey Sagie, Love your videos (they're really addicting actually (: ), keep up the good work.
It would be great if you could make a video that shows how to connect the new MBPs to TWO external monitors that support USB-C displays. Can you do you it only with one USB-C cable? (not including the daisy-chain cable).
Thanks for taking the time to make this review! I just ordered my 14 inch Macbook Pro from your afíliate link. 🙏🏼 Great video and valuable info!
I really wanted the mag safe charger and I have been waiting years for it to come back. Plus the 14 has a bigger screen. I’m glad I didn’t order the 13 this year.
This is absolutely one the best video comparaison I seen, looks so natural and I like this kind of UA-camrs
Wow, thank you! Appreciate you being part of the channel!
Thanks, I’m saving for the base model 14”. Hopefully I can get it early next year. 😅😎🎶👍
Glad this was helpful. Good luck!
The 13” M1 still feels new to me.. better to wait for the next iteration and get Face ID and other refinements to the first hardware.
Thanks !!! This definitely helps my decision, I need that dual monitor support and the price difference isn’t that great when comparing similar configurations.
I was going to settle for another brand of laptop just for that monitor support, however the build on the new 14” MacBook Pro seems much better than the competition, plus I can expect much longer support from apple.
So glad this was helpful Keith!
thank you for taking the time to do an in-depth comparison....wish I saw this vid before i bought my m1 13inch....lol
I have a 16 m1 pro and a 13 inch mbp m1. I am not sure if is related to new keyboard design, but new ones feel so much cheaper, there is so much backlight bleed and its get really noticeable because the black background
Great Video! Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much Justin!
Great vid. Thanks for including metric units. The amount of tech vids that only do lbs and inches is too many. It’s difficult to visualise for someone outside of North America!
No problem! I try to keep everyone in mind!
So far my MBP M1 has been doing great the only thing I regret is that I didn’t grab the 16GB ram configuration. and I don't know i still love the touch bar, but hey if i have the chance i will update to the 14 inch
I love the ports but I also love the touch bar. Having recently upgraded from the 2015 OG Mac Pro with the OG ports
As it stands the Touch Bar is flipping amazing IMO. Great video 👌🏾💯
It really is. I don’t know why people don’t like it.
@@MoneyOverFame I know the more I use it the more I love it function keys now seem a little bland 🤷♂️🤷🏾♂️
@@everydaytechy1 honestly I don’t utilize the touch pad as much as I should. But aesthetically, it just looks so good
LOVE the Touch Bar. It was a deciding factor in going with the 13” M1 pro
Nice comparison. Thank you.
I just bought a 13” M1. Even with all the 14” improvements, going to stick with my 13” for a year or two. And perhaps get the next latest iteration of the 14”. I know it would be crazy to ask, but what do you guess Apple might do with 2022 release? After all the new things they have given this year. I think Face ID might be one. Anything else?
Same here, I think I'll be just fine with M1Air for now and get the refreshed 14" later
i did the exact same, waited and waited for the 14inch, but I'm a little under whelmed at the design of it, so settled for a M1 MBP.
@@thesockdoctorr No kidding. Speaking on the new exterior design, I am not impressed with the chunky boxy 14”. The 13” still looks so sleek though the design being here for years.
I really hope there do better..for me I I prefer the 13” way more than this new 14”
Be patient and you will buy a better product 2 years from now.
Haloooo , your review are so detailed!!
I wonder if I shd get more unified memory ( 16 gb to 32gb) or ssd ( 500gb to 1TB ) ? Limited budget TT
Thanks for the detailed comparison! When I finished watching your video, I noticed that the title should be changed to "Why not pay more?"
I suspect that the reason for the Notch that no one is talking about is that Apple wants FaceID, but at the same time couldn't make it into this shipment and had to ship like this anyways. These 2 MACs - 14" & 16" are likely super small volumes compared to the Macbook Air and 13" Pro - and those were already using existing chassis. This custom screen will need a huge order commitment from their ODM to secure the order at a reasonable price, so I'd guess next generation will have the exact same screen, but with Face ID. Also on the keyboard, that seems obvious, again, that they are trying to leverage the same chassis for different keyboard types - hence the black back. Not every region can just change keys, some need to change layouts - like in Europe - so one can just have different keyboard plates, and use a common chassis for all regions. It just makes sense to leverage as many like-for-like parts as possible, and since these high-end macs are lower volume products, Apple is likely just stretching the life span of each component to secure better commitments from the various ODMs in China and elsewhere.
Great review. Can't wait for your 16" video. Leaning bigger because of my vision (getting old).
working on it now!
Amazing video! I have the M1 MBP, I would upgrade but still works perfectly fine for my tasks. Do you recommend wait until next year?
THANK YOU! Here's how I look at it. If you need something now, buy now. If you can wait, always wait. You may get a better product for the same price or the same product for a better price. Hope that helps. Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk Thank you! I’ll take your advice! Your videos are really amazing! You have all my support 🙌🏻
Love your reviews. I have a late 2012 Retina display 15” MBP and 27-inch Apple Retina Display. Has served me well but need to upgrade. I do graphic design for print with Adobe CC (Illustrator, Acrobat, InDesign, Photoshop) and MS Office Suite. I almost bought the 13” M1 MBP 3 weeks ago but couldn’t decide between 8GB/256GB and 16GB/512GB models. Now considering the 14” M1 Pro. I was looking forward to a smaller and lighter weight MBP for when I travel but wasn’t too pleased with just two USB-C ports. I have always considered myself a Pro user but I don’t do anything with video. Which model is a better fit for this kind of work? 14” M1 Pro Base model or 13” M1 16GB RAM 512GB SSD?
I upgraded from similar spec 2013 MacBook. However I was having issues running Lightroom and premiere. I went with the 14” m1 pro base chip with 1TB storage. I think of it as a 5 year investment
Sir,
As a student, what should I choose between Tab S7 and Ipad mini 2021?
Pls reply to this
I want features but also portability
Amazing video!
Love this video😍!! Great work Sagi!!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻. I appreciate you.
@@TechGearTalk
welcome☺
Thank you for this comparison. I just bought my M1 Macbook pro 13" with 16GB ram and 512GB memory last month and it still is powerful and responsive with everything that I do (I do PhD research, research and consultancy work, statistical analyses, coding in STATA and MATLAB, use MS office apps, and do lectures via zoom). I don't use the touchbar as much but I'm not bothered by it since I use the Logitech MX Keys. Using one external monitor is also no problem with me as well as using a Lyare 16-in-one USB hub. Probably the 14" macbook pro is not for someone like me, but it is for someone who is more of a "pro" user.
Most of your tasks (STATA), MS Office, Zoom, Chrome, Safari, Git, Python, etc.. applications run only one core. So there won't be any difference in term of speed compared to the new macs. You can check with single core test in Geekbench to see for yourself.
The new Macbook Pro is for those who are doing intensive graphic related or multi core applications (i.e: Xcode). There is a trade off of these, heat and battery life. They may save you a couple of seconds but cost you up to 50% more in terms of battery life.
I just got mine delivered today. The same exact model. I m a student, so this should be good enough for me. :)
Literally with specs you have right now and ram and memory add ons, it’s only $200 difference to get 14” MBP, it’s better specs, display and just other new features. You got a real bad deal bro
@@visualstoryteller1014 I bought my M1 2 months ago. I needed a new laptop back then. Also, in the country where I am living, it takes 2-3 months for new Apple products to be available and buying from online sellers costs more. It's also not just an additional $200 in our case, it's more than that (probably because of higher Apple Tax that we have to pay for those outside the US). And $200 is already a big chuck of money.
@@visualstoryteller1014 Yeah but who needs the extra power anyways? You do realize the 14” and 16” MacBooks pros are suited more for, well the pros? I just ordered the same laptop he has after convincing myself I don’t need the 14” M1 Pro. It’s actually a $300 difference with taxes an all. All that for some extra power, ports and display? I will admit I wanted the 14” so bad that the MBP 13” was not even an option. But I only need the laptop for video editing and photo editing. Something a basic M1 MacBook Air can do. Very good deal
If you like the 14” you’ll love the 16” MBP. 😁 Only thing is it’s a little heavy because it’s a lot more laptop.
I own a MacBook Air M1 which I love. I’ll wait until next year when the price has come down for the pro. Great vid. I like having my keyboard backlit key on my Air. How do u turn it on the pro?
Use settings
Great review!
Thank you for being part of the channel!
I love this and hate this at the same time! I was perfectly happy with my M1 MacBook Pro until I watched this, now I feel like I have nothing! Info like the addition of the ports and build. Everything else I could do without. Great job, your purpose was accomplished with this video.
thanks great video
Thank you for watching
I would like to know if the 512GB base model MacbookPro 14 is enough storage or do I have to take the 1To option?
2 things I don't like are that they removed the Touch Bar (loved it) and also removed the "MacBook Pro" logo from the front. Why? I definitely notice the improvements to the speakers. Fantastic.
Finally somebody who has the same issue as me lol I am mad that they removed that MacBook Pro logo inside too!
very helpful!! i think i’m leaning towards the 14 inch… also would just suggest time stamps on your videos :) would be great
That's so much - I appreciate the feedback.
For a college student like me,
13 inch Mac pro is good for me lol.
Excellent as always
Thank you! Cheers!
@TechGearlTalk: thanks for all the great reviews - very much appreciate your insights.
The new M1Pro/Max chips are clearly optimized for video and graphics performance especially given the hardware accelerated modules for specific tasks. Based on all the analysis and reviews, the new M1Pro/Max options crush video/graphics work and are probably overkill for "office/productivity" work.
How do the new M1Pro/Max handle tasks like number crunching of large data sets and running simulations/modeling? In my past experience, these seem are memory dependent but don't necessarily make use of capabilities from GPUs.
Would a 16GB M1 be good enough for this type of work? Or do you recommend upgrading to the M1Pro and getting more memory?
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Thank you. The advantage of the M1 Pro is that you can get more CPU cores AND you have more high-performance cores. So it comes down to how much this performance is worth to your workflow. If it's something you do all day, every day, and you're looking at one computer that can do it in 3 minutes, and another that can do it in 1 minute - I'm upgrading, because that consistent time saving. Hope that makes sense.
@@TechGearTalk Thanks for the input - very much appreciated! I'm leaning toward the 16" MBP M1Pro with 32GB memory: gives me higher CPU performance, a larger screen so I don't have to squint, and some small "future proof" protection. Not convinced the extra GPU cores will make a difference for me and for my use cases. A few hundred dollars over the lifetime of the machine (3+ years) is inconsequential to the time savings.
@@thehanseffect4373 Did you end up getting the MacBook you wanted? How does it handle the things you throw at it?
@@Fluffisnoterm I ended up getting the 14" MBP M1 Pro with 16GB memory and an M1 MacMini. I decided to off-load some video processing to the MacMini to take advantage of a desktop set-up (external monitor, cameras, and other peripherals). With this set-up, I focus all of my analytic activities on the laptop. So far, no complaints and the M1 Pro 16GB is fine. My main reason for not buying anything beyond this is because I will not be able to make use of the extra hardware and GPU cores. Apple clearly defines "pro" as a video-editor and I'm not in that use case. The benefit of having a laptop and desktop set-up is that I have a fully capable workstation for when I'm mobile. Having a second computer helps provide some back-up in case the other is unavailable. I'm running a small business so I can't afford to be "offline" for long.
If you can wait, you might want to see what the next generation of products Apple releases this year (2022) and to see if the next versions of laptops will be aimed at "pro" users who aren't video creators (think something in-between the entry-level M1 MacBook Pro and a 14" MacBook Pro M1 Pro/Max). Not sure if Apple will have a product aimed at this group, but it might be worth waiting if you can.
Otherwise, listen to the advice from Sagi (@TechGearTalk) on buying the best machine for you. I'm moving more towards an approach of buying less powerful machines (and less costly) but more frequently especially since we don't quite know what Apple's release schedule looks like.
Hope this helps!
4:07🤣
7:16 me too. All the relevant and needed shortcuts right i front of me. Also the word suggest feature is good, a bit laggy, but works good.
7:52 it's weird how I like 14's camera and 13's mic more.
Great video I have just subscribed. Any chance of a video looking at whether a 14" Max is worth all the extra buck over a 14 Pro?
Thank you for being part of the channel! Yes, waiting to get mine.
@@TechGearTalk Great look forward to it as I am not sure spending loads more bucks is really going to give me anything more that i need.
I have no need whatsoever that would justify spending that kind of money for a tool like the 14 inch MacBook but… that screen is GORGEOUS 😍
I you have no use for it, appreciate it from afar and save your money! Smart man
where could i get the deskstop images used in the video?
what’s the difference between mini led and oled?
I actually have the M1, 13 " for about now 1 year.
I actually work for UA-camrs as a video editor, so i often use Final Cut Pro and After Effect.
The first time i got it i was really impressed, but, i was more in a « desktop use » than portable
It said that you can connect a 60hz screen display but for me… that’s wrong. I had multiple lags White connecting to an external monitor… Final Cut Pro has started to lag with Time, i work on 1080p 60fps video only but i add a lot of effect. The worse is when i started using After Effect, it lag a lot when i do big things… so Yeah it’s really nice for simple video editing, but for me, that add a lot of effects, of plugins, that need to use After Effect etc, plus with the lag of the external display, that impact my job and i lose a lot of time. I have made the error of chose the 8gb version, with everytime when i edit, a window that tell me that my RAM is full used, making Final Cut Pro crash.
Thats why i’m watching your video, it’s because i’m afraid to pay more and have the same problem… the m1 max could be nice but it’s way too much money.
It’s not that i don’t trust UA-camrs, but the m1, once it was out, was annouced and reviewed like the best thing that work for everyone and can be super effective for big work and big effects, and now, 1 year later, i see these same UA-camrs telling that m1 is bad, and not for big Works, « so go for the m1 pro » and i’m afraid that, it will happen again once a new M1 processor will be out.
Could you please help me ? I do a lot of video editing (it’s my job) i need a really good computer that hold effects and everything, only for a 1080p video, without lags (or rarely)
Do i need to go for the M1 Pro ?
how did you get a job as youtube editor?
Really happy with my 14" M1 Pro MBP. Can anyone advise what Anker charger i'd need to charge via USB c/Thunderbolt 4 port? Or alternatives
For a student is it better to get a MacBook Air + iPad Air or a MacBook Pro 14"?
Good Video and Information. I purchase the 14' during Christmas 2022 at BestBuy at a $400 dollars saving. Thanks for making the "which MacBook to buy" process easter.
The only channel to come closer to answering my question of matching RAM and SSD and comparing the 13" to 14" for my decision. Thank you!
So glad I could help
I’m thinking about buying a laptop for university. Do you recommend MacBook or is it better to buy window? Ps: I intend to study computer science.
I think you’re the only reviewer on the tech side whom actually liked the Touch Bar!
On my end I hate it!!! That’s why I ordered a full spec MacBook Air instead of the 13” Pro -
But now I changed the 14”
I know right 😂🤣 CONGRATS!
I was actually waiting for your video. honestly.
Hope you enjoyed it. More coming soon.
Sir , Please suggest if one should consider spending extra buying a 14inch Mac as a freelance photographer...
@@ManushDewan than the 13 inch? Absolutely. If your PC/Laptop is over 5 years old, might be time to replace :)
Can we get a link to the wallpapers please?
I'm wondering if it's a good idea to buy the m1 pro 14" for the purpose of programming and hacking? Since my university specialization is “CyberSecurity”
Good detailed video
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Hi there! My question is most of the time i shoot with my Canon 800D with 1080p and like 2K on my mobile. The photos i shoot are 24MP. So is it a better option for me to go for the 14inch or just purchase the 13inch M1 (16GB RAM and 512GB SSD)
You can probably just go with the M1 Air. If you're going to go with the M1 Pro, I'd probably just get the 14 because it's so much better for not a lot more money.
I was really thinking about the MacBook Pro 13" but I for sure wanted 16G of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Your right for 300 bucks... Better display... Better sound, better camera, Better processor and have all the ports on the MacBook itself sold me with that option on the 14". Thanks
Shit that’s my case, Base model m1 pro is even cheaper nowadays in retail stores, I also wanted m1 2020 but upgraded with 16ram and 520storage which is equal to 1700€ at least, for 130€ more you can get the m1 pro lol makes no sense
Finally a comparison with M1 from last year. Definitely going for base model 14", a good investment indeed.
It's definitely worth the added cost. Consider adding $200 for the 10-core version.
I love everything about the 14 inch macbook pro, only the change from the touchbar to the buttons is something that doesnt get into my head how that should be superior.
The touchbar is such a useful gadget, i dont wanna miss. But you have to make some sacrifices if you want the newest model. I just dont understand it how someone likes those buttons more than the touchbar. With the touchbar you can too so many things, with the buttons not...
Just got the m1 pro and i dont regret it one bit especially for editing videos
Great comparison. Most people don’t need the new MacBook Pro’s. The vanilla M1 will be enough computer for majority. But the screen and ports will probably get a lot more people to upgrade.
I agree
Kinda felt bummed when they removed the Touch Bar 😭. They could have kept it and have the function keys at the same time
Fr man or had an option on if you want it or not
This is the exact comparison that I was looking for. I couldn't decide if I should go with the M1 MacBook Pro or go with the new 14" MacBook Pro.
Glad it was helpful!
What did you decide? Which one will you buy?
Awesome I liked that you made a sensible review, i watched many videos in which people just way too exited to take them for real
So glad the review was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Do you think getting a MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM and 512 GB SSD would be wise decision for a beginner who will be using it for FCPX, Photoshop, Lightroom and Coding Apps? I am thinking using it at least 4/5 years
I’m not using any intensive software at the moment I just started college mayor IT , liked your video and wanted to buy one of the new m1s 14 inch. It’s pricey for dad but he said he’ll do it. The Mac will be my first laptop I’m thinking about going for the base model? Is the 10more core worth it can’t believe I’m asking I’m already stretching the budget
I believe MacBook Air is sufficient for you. But since you are thinking about the 14, the base model is more than sufficient. I am using it for engineering school and nothing comes close to slow it down in any way.
For mid-level photo-video editing, college, programming, projects in applications like Autocad, solidworks, and others, is it enough to buy M1 13” macbook pro 16gb RAM and 512 SSD, or should i wait to buy M1 Pro 14”?? I'm waiting for your opinion, thanks!!!
13“ is easy enough :)
Is 16gb ram enough for everyday usage (MS office), adobe suite, and perhaps xcode if I decide to learn coding? I'm not a professional video editor nor programmer, just doing/learning it as a hobby. I wanna use it for 5-6 years so is 16gb "future proof" enough? I'm new to MacBook, never used one before, currently a bit leaning toward the 14"
32gb would future proof it but 16 would be that bad is all you do is for hobby. 14 base should be great for documentation and daily usage.
Get the M1 MacBook Pro with 512 GB storage if you are just learning and doing it as hobby It'll be tremendous. Save up the extra bucks for any other investments.
Makes me wish the next refresh of the 13 inch Macbook Pro they add the M1 Pro as a configuration option
I'd like to see your review on the new Surface Pro and Surface Pro X 😊
The 13 inch is way better for students because it's more portable, still really powerful, and has amazing battery life.
Hi there, happy Friday everyone!
Happy Friday Robert!
How about the Magic Touch Bar? You didn’t mention it. The new 13” is the most advanced MacBook Pro ever made by Apple. The slimmest, the lightest, has the longest battery life, the only keyboard left with Magic Touch Bar and Touch ID plus there is no notch.
The displays are very glossy. Not really suitable for use in daylight I would imagine. Viewing Apple laptops at the Apple store, I could easily see my reflection on the display.
I want the new 14" in a 8GB/256GB config 😄 I just want the screen!
In Brazil, land of the most expensive Apple products in the world, the price difference between the two models is huge. The 2021 pro models only make sense here for large companies and not for individual use.
The honest truth is, only a selected few really need the M1 pro/max. Even some content creators who edit 4K video will be just fine with the M1
Bought the 13 M1, amazing battery life, not taking gambles with battery again.
CONGRATS!!!
thanks for this great comparison, im going for macbook pro 13" because it is more than capable of doing my daily tasks.
Thank you for watching. Glad this was helpful in choosing.
Hey what would you pick regarding price value between a M1 Pro 13 8gb 512 for 600$ and a 14 M1 Pro 32gb and 1000go for 1300 both seem to have a good price bit confuse. Thank you
best comparison review by far
So glad that it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
