good advice. for canadians it is less tempting to go for the pro. the 24/1tb spec on the m4 is 2600and the pro is like 3200-2300 before tax.

Thank you very much for your video! It helped a lot to make this Android to iPhone transition. Could you also share the link for the background video you used? It is so peaceful.

09:28 this point exactly. Thanks, other reviewers should see and learn!!

You are the only person i trust when it comes to product reviews. Thanks so so so much for this video. It helped a lot. I've been using a dell i7 for 10 years and the laptop sound like a tractor on my table. I wish to learn some video, sound and photo editing in future and i want a laptop that stays for atleast 5-7 years and i believe if i can use my current laptop for so long then m4 MBP would be perfectly fine. Thank you so much, i appreciate your honest reviews more than i wrote in this comment.

I am a Software Developer and i upgraded my MBP 2017 i5 8gb to new M4 space black. I run kubernetes docker apps and i can run it smoothly on M4 and also train GenAI models, going for M4 pro for completing training few mins early ain't worth spending extra money. I can just take a short break and come back and training will be finished

It's a nightmare. I hope, your recommended steps will work in my case. I don't see the superiority of Apple in comparison to Android. Same to Mac OS. But now I have iphone and Mac Pro. I have to deal with it.

what you need or like is different from the rest of us so do say not to buy something you can not judege what is for others but only for your self..

lolol you are a man of the ppl!! sub'd out of respect lol

I’ve got a gaming PC that runs Windows 11, a Samsung/android smartphone, I have a MacBook Pro for my laptop and an iPad mini now too. I’ve got my feet firmly in both camps and I love it 😂

Pro Chip + RAM = nuff said

Good point. Many times I have shopped or Macbook pros but I spent 99% of my time in Safari and maybe some productivity app use here and there. I figured it makes zero sense for me to get Macbook Pro. Instead I went with Macbook Air.

Wow thanks for video

I tried using smart switch "Everything" and it said my old device didn't have enough storage. What does that even mean? 🤬😭I'm trying to move everything to a new phone from my old phone. Why why why😭😭😭

3yrs on, same issue

Most people don't need more power than the M1 air... It is so wild how much people spend on these devices they have literally couldn't find a task to max the specs... Apple is good at gaining suckers.

Are u using Sequoia 15.2 what os you on?

An M4 is a binned M4 Pro with cores disabled.

Apple have ridiculous storage upgrade prices because they want you to bump up to iCloud storage. Just found your channel and I’m loving your content! You got a new sub. Much love from Sweden

Great video like the reality check. 99% made my mind up. Been looking at the m4 & m4 pro I probably have no place being here. Not had a laptop for about 5-6 years. But want to get into a bit of photo editing watch videos on and word. Love my iPhone 16 pro, when looking at laptops I’m told go for Apple. Wanted the black/space grey but after more research says will get filthy quickly compared to the silver. I’d like 1tb but would I get away with 512gb?

Too much hand movement.

Does the m4 only have 60 HZ screen?? Apple only has 120 HZ display on "Pro" models only?

I was just about to get M4 pro.

Just picked up the M4 MacBook Pro for $1399 at Best Buy - they price matched the CostCo sale. I am using this as a backup and more portable machine for data transfer to my 16" MacBook Pro M1 Pro from 2021. I edit mostly Multicam 1080P video in FCPX(11?), along with some 4K commercial stuff, and the M1 Pro hasn''t missed a beat. I'm happy so far (it's been 1 day) with the M4 14" for what I want it for! I am glad I got it over the M3 Air 13" - just so I have a more capable computer when I need it for streaming situations or quick edits on the go, or whatever. Will probably update the big 16" computer to the M6 or M7 Pro some day... Whenever that is. I don't know if I'll ever need a Max for the work I do.

This was so helpful! That the screen turned off was the best part! Definitely had me laughing and well worth the sub! Thank you!

Good video. Unless lots of applications become multicore aware, it appears to not be worth going Pro or Max. I am planning to use Parallels 20 with Windows 10 / 11 for development and not sure a Pro will help me.

Tech KZbin needs more people with sanity like you.

Finally, an honest techtuber that’s based in reality. Most people will not ever fully use the capabilities of a m4 pro. Its like someone who buys a high end sports car but only does every day commuting in local traffic and some highway driving with slight speeding. An utter waste of a car designed for fast driving.

I wish there was an option of getting the better 16 inch screen with M4 . Spending 10+ hours on screen , I will benefit with a better screen

Man I have a confusion I should buy a iPhone 13 Pro Max or one plus 12r

My imac from 2013 is still working like a charm ! 16ram 1tb ssd. For simple use is ok, for playing vst plugins, simple libraries,Kontakt, falcon, Nexus, Avenger, Serum is already obsolete, after 11 years is a good reason to upgrade to the M4 PRO MAX 48ram and 1tb storage and keep it for another 15 years. ✌️😬

Correct me if I'm wrong but do you install the WhatsApp app last?

okay but m4 pro would allow me to play minecraft

I can't do iPhones I'm a Android phone user for life but I do use my Mac Book

Thank you for the video. Finally someone who reviews it at a human level, and doesn't merely just focus on benchmark numbers and on a single field of use such as video editing, but instead you've covered multiple fields of users who'd be using it, and gave out a decent argument which isn't measured in numbers but rather the experience, especially the part where you mention that we won't even reach the full utility of the chip in most cases, which is a thing that nobody else seems to mention. Subscribed.

I really appreciate this perspective. As a power user, the reason I know it's time to upgrade is when I have 128bg of ram and still feel my machine buckling under the load. If you're not being slowed down by your computers performance, you probably won't utilize any new performance you pay for.

silver or space black ? I noticed the fingerprints on your video, god damnit I've been torn for a week. Does the space black gets hot in the sun ?

Lets face it! ALL Review are made-up's!! Made up by the companies who sell these laptops!! And people believe what they read!!!

so for music production which one do you recommend?

I bought the 16 inch m4 max for DJing, I know overkill but future proof

For the $395 annual fee, it makes no sense over the Venture besides the 10X for hotels, otherwise they're both 5 on travel, bookings through CapitalOne and 2X on everything else.

I need the 16 inch. Great video brother.

Just bought the m4 max 16’ with 48gb of ram, i do heavy video editing and 3d , still wondering if i mad the right choice, 5320 euros choice …. I guess i’ll see in January when i get it. Delivery time are crazy in france rn for custom models

Next time do your beard PLEASE😢

I feel soo much better now that I ordered the correct model now ; the MacBook Pro m4 base model . Thank you for this video !

W sponsor seg

Unboxing culture is so toxic 😂

The thing about autofocus is that 8 doesn't have macro mode which is what is asked for when you put something so close to it. But watch how your face looks in the first frame after you move phone to the side - it's not in focus as it will be few frames later.

Great video. I haven't been a Mac user since I spent ludicrous amounts on money on a maxed out iMac that died after 18 months, this was many years ago, and I abandoned the Apple ecosystem after that, went back to Windows and Android. I decided to jump back in and get a Macbook Air, as I need something portable, but that has a great battery and Macs still kill it when it comes to battery life. I was going to get the M3 Air, 16gb, 512gb 15" config, but thought maybe I should get some extra ram and jump to the 24gb model. I then realised at that price point, I was only £100 shy of getting this 14" M4 Macbook Pro, which has a better battery life, better screen, better audio, better chip and more ports. A slightly smaller screen, yes, but a better quality one and I'll always take quality over size, and more likely to get better performance from the more powerful chip, than I am more ram.
