I installed windows on mine, bought egpu with additional SSD storage, and added thermal ads to a back lid. Temps are not higher than 75 under load.

Had one soon is it came out. Sister got into college so I gave it to here. Now I want to buy a refurbished one in 2025 cause that Max M4 is waaaaaay too much

apples worst macbook is the 2015 macbook 12”

I m still using 2015 HP pavillion 5th gen i3 with hdd( now replaced with 256 ssd) and 8gb ram. And i have no complaints.

I have one since the $2400 price tag in 2020. It gets the job done but I regret buying it. I don’t recommend it to anyone, just get an Apple Silicone Mac.

watching this on my m1 Mac Pro 16gb... it still works fantastic after 3 years of me buying

I just bought a M1 Pro 16 inch 32gb RAM with 100% battery health (18 cycles) and it is a remarkable machine...

pretty great if u need ur legs burned while using it or need a good heater, or like noisy fans. or waiting around for your mouse to start moving when editing in Lightroom.

Will this be worth it to use for edititng yt vids

Have yet to feel compelled to upgrade from my M1 Pro. Apple did too good a job.

writing from italy, bought a m1 pro 8 core 14inch , 16 512 last april, rn im studying computer engineering , i find the machine still really relevant to this date , the hardware is top notch and the battery life too . Im a little keen on doing software updates due to possible software slowdowns. Still , i feel like this machine has plenty more horsepower than what i currently need .

Still good but for digital marketers isn't enough coz macOs is old version and has no update from Apple that makes some apps isn't compatible to use 😢

Still using this MacBook in 2025.

just got the m4, not the m4 pro, bcs it already 16gb of unified memory, and yeah i agree with u ITS BLAAZING FAAAST

I'm sticking out with this thing until it dies, and i don't think that will be any time soon. I wouldn't be surprised if It lasts me another 5 - 10 years. The step up from intel was so monumental, unless they're able to make another leap like that, I really don't see the point.

Using the same machine and loving it from build quality to performance, speed and reliability. It offers everything i need. I also use windows in this via VM and it works great even smoother than my windows laptop 😅

I have the 16 inch macbook pro with a 1tb ssd and 16gb ram I got refurbished for around 1500 around a year and a half ago. My only regret is not going with the 14 inch. 16 is essentially a deskrop replacement and im lugging this thing around everywhere. Otherwise I love it. Even runs (reasonable) games pretty well.

Ok. What you thing about no support in 2027? What does this mean in practice? Is a realy problem?

My base M1 Pro 14 has been amazing. Still blown away by the battery life and performance based on my needs. It’s a joy to use and I can’t see myself upgrading until: - the notch is gone - facial recognition is standard - battery life is above 24 hours. For 98% of users this machine is more than enough.

Just got a m1 pro with 16gb ram and 1tb for 800 bucks. Crazy that this thing was 2400 brand new.

awesome video!

WELL DONE!

I had one of these for 5 years at home before upgrading to a 2022 Mac studio M1 ultra a few years back, and it definitely held up well for when I had it. Finally decided to upgrade though because I thought it was time for a change when my son told me how slow it was 😂

Just found this channel and you're doing some really cool stuff, you should totally do a series on cool and quirky tech! I would love to watch it

Great video! This was super helpful as I have recently been looking for a secondary laptop that is really really small, just because I hate using my phone to open emails for work. I will definitely be purchasing one of these soon!

Honestly, a new 12” sized MacBook with perhaps a M1 chip that’s this thin and small and light would be crazy.

I think this Macbook was what made Apple realize that it was time to drop intel.

here before you become famous 🔥

Good. Hello. Where is the battery for this Mac?

Great review

2:08 Are you just cleaning the screen's surface or treating the actual delamination? Cheers!

So for light graphic design, is it okay? :)

I have 2020 M1 Pro and still banger for the next 5 years too, I know!

200 dollars with d700 ? omg that is so cheap, here in EU is minimum 600e

499$ rn on Best Buy

Nice man I am also a new tech KZbinr 😎

100% a good buy for someone who is doing office productivity/light video editing. I used one of these for 5 years with very few issues (software issues from updates). It was fine for Photoshop if you are working with moderate files sizes...retouching 100MB medium format files with many layers became a grind at times.

Is that 8 core cpu and 8 core gpu?

Also, to anyone interested, another big problem with headless MBP's is that transporting them is problematic as without the screen as a protector, the Mac responds to every inadvertent touch to the trackpad, the keyboard, and the touchbar, constantly waking the machine and responding in ways you will want very much to avoid. I have not found a solution to this problem other than building a case for transporting my headless Mac that rests only on the edges of the top of the MBP. Anyone found a software or settings solution to this problem?

What MBP model are you working with? I've a headless 2019 16" MBP. However, its keyboard backlight and backlight settings panel do not work. It appears that they are dependent on an ambient light sensor built into the camera cluster on the screen (which no longer exists). Is your ambient sensor in that bar you taped to the hinge bay?

so can i not use it for simple tiktok edits with ae? even if i use an older ver

just bought a 2020 MBP 8GB with 512SSD for $480 to use in college. Hopefully it runs well

"Computer-in-a-keyboard" is not as crazy as it sounds. I recall my first computer, the C64 in the early to mid-80ies was just like this. Btw. an easier way to do practically the same thing without having to tinker with the inner things of the computer like in this excellent video, would be simply to close the lid on the computer and buy an external USB-keyboard for it, perhaps a wireless one, and simply put the laptop under the external display you're using instead. Ofcourse that low-tech approach to the problem is not as cool and hands-on, but if you aren't very used to working with electronics and stuff and wants the fastest way to achieve a pretty similar result, that might be the way to go. Btw. using a docking station is a great way to get more USB-ports and such and could also be used in combination. But kudos to the guy in this amazingly good video! ... Btw, I got here from a reference in the comment section (forum) of this great article on the old home computer scene in the 80ies just around the micro crash: www.theregister.com/2024/12/28/christmas_1984_home_computers/

would you recommend it for doing ios development? specifications says Operating System: macOS Catalina (Version 10.15.7) Processor: 2.5 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 Memory: 12 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB Storage: 500GB I am getting this for around $210
