I think the M1 MBP, whether one chooses the M1 Pro or Max, is a very solid high quality laptop that will last and be useful for a number of years. Personally I always thought 16” was the way to go, but now I’m thinking the 14” is pretty compelling. I don’t currently have a laptop other than my work MBP (2018 vintage), but if I decided I needed one, this one would be at the top of my list.

I have a 16" 2019 MBP work laptop and the 14" M1 pro in this video. Personally the cons far outweigh the pros of having the extra real estate. Way bulkier for a few screen, which you don't really need when you're in 'laptop' mode. Plus when you're on the go the extra bulk really becomes annoying. If you're in 'desktop' mode you're using an external monitor anyways

When I had the 14 inch model I thought the same that the 16inch is that "TRUE" Macbook with better cooling, speakers, battery, keyboard, larger screen which improves workflow etc. but now when I finally bought the 16 inch version I miss my older 14inch version, the 16 is just too big when using on your lap or in the bed and uncomfortable to use. It feels much better to use at university while coding and these 2 inches makes a huge difference there but at home 14inch was so much better, I could also fit it inside my backpack but the 16 model requires its own bag.

The 16" laptops are nice, but they have a really, REALLY high rate of failure because of bad buck converters which often fail and run 13V right into the non user-replaceable NAND SSDs, frying them and destroying the computer. It was almost exclusively a 16" issue, though it happens to a much lesser extent on some of the other Touch Bar MBPs, like the 15" model. It has been reported on some 14" models as well but again, not nearly to the same extent - the 16" is FAMOUS for that issue. I'm hoping apple solved this issue here.

16" M1 Pro user here - I've had it since launch, and not a single hairline scratch or scuff on it - it looks new! Also for the fingerprint oil on the keyboard, I use a wet wipe every few days and clean each key, keeps it looking like new! As mine is the 16 its the 16 core as standard, i've not had a single issue with it regarding power. I'm currently programming in Java Maven, compoling a 19MB program with HTML, css, js, sql, and java, along with apple music, youtube in 4k, MS Office, and I even have parallels open with a Steam game running - and its running flawlessly, i've not once had the fans kick in at any point of me owning it. The screen is insanley good, I'm using an app called 'Vivid' to make it so i can have 1000 nits of brightness sustained (as Apple should allow us by default), so I can use it outside on sunny days with sunglasses on. I get around 10 hours of battery on medium usage, and even when hitting it heavy, outside, full brightness, i'll still get 4+ hours. Speakers are the best i've ever heard on a laptop etc... the list goes on. I really cannot think of a downside to it, it's just perfect.

I recently dedicate my M1 Air to our recording room. No fans and small size make it perfect for that. And for a portable machine I purchased a base config 14" (16GB/512 GB) MBP. So far it has been great. Not as light as the Air, but still very portable. And the LCD screen and 1040p webcam are big upgrades. I do development and video content and the system is good for both and I never experience the slowdowns I did with the 8GB/256GB Air. The final nail in an M2 Air was the price of an upgraded Air with the same 16GB/512GB was more than the Amazon price ($1599) for the base MBP 14 Pro.

I've been using my ancient 2011 15" MBP up until recently. There were a few upgrades like 16gb RAM and SSD (the SSD gave it a second life) that kept it going for so long. The wi-fi card also died, so I had to get a USB wi-fi adapter or just use ethernet haha. So going to the 14" M1 pro base model is a huge jump for me. I was waiting until the M3 MBPs came out, but after seeing all the lukewarm reviews, I decided to pick up an older M1 MBP for a big discount. Glad to hear that the base model is still powerful enough to handle 4K video editing. Ideally I'd like to keep this for another 5-10 years before the next upgrade.

Looking forward to the screen and speakers too (2018 MBP 15" already has excellent speakers, curious how it will compare!), and to the extra portability (1.6kg instead of 1.8kg, and especially smaller footprint). My main concern is whether I will find it hard to move down from a 15.4" screen to 14.2". I always thought I'd replace my laptop with a 15" MacBook Air and was so happy when that came out, but went for the 14" for power, monitors, better screen & speakers, portability, and yes, the ports are a nice bonus!😄

Hi Jimmy, I’ve also had my M1 Pro/14” MBP for about a year now. I’ve never had an issue with the edge getting scratched because while I do wear accessories on my wrists, I think I got used to “picking up” my wrists so that they’re not touching. I typically still charge using the MagSafe cable (the braided white cable is just so good) but I have charged using a standard USB-C cable with an Anker charge block (65w). My only gripe is that the HDMI port seems flimsy. I’ve never moved my laptop around when using cables but for some reason, the HDMI cable is clearly “moving” when connected (it’s not even when inserted). It still works but I don’t like the unevenness. You can “jiggle” it to make it even but I shouldn’t have to.

Incidentally, I bought an 11 inch iPad Pro 2 yrs ago that has ProMotion , but I am kind of sore that mini-LED was not available in that size. I am also considering the M1 MacBook Air which is sweet and great bang for buck and I would get that , but the lack of ProMotion on that is kind of holding me back. I need to check out the MBP in the flesh today but I know it will be bigger and heavier which is also kind of likely to hold me back.

I have one of these. It's much more computer than I need, but it was a present to myself. And it will last me for many years. You mention that for price reasons it might not be the best choice for everyone. Here in the UK (and in Europe generally) the cost argument is tighter. The 14" MBP is £1900 - it's unusual for Apple to price an item at less than £1=$1, but they did for this. An M2 MBAir starts at £1249 for the 8GPU/8Gb/256Gb model so if you spec it up (16Gb/512Gb) it's £1649 - only £250 less than the 14" MBP, and the MBA still wouldn't have the screen or the ports. If you start with the 10GPU/512Gb MBA, that's £1549 base price, or £1749 with 16Gb memory - only £150 less than the MBP, and once again missing the ports & screen. So a tougher decision on this side of the pond....

How many hours of battery life did you get out of it? Considering an M1 or M2 MacBook Pro as battery life is the number one priority for me, but depending on how long the 14” lasts it could make more sense.

I'm thinking about getting a MacBook 14 Pro (if there's a 2023 or 2024 version) for college when I go ~1 year from now for (most likely) CS, been a Windows user my whole life but my sister switched to the 16 Pro and has had an amazing experience (does a lot of photoshop, editing, coding etc.) So it should be a decent option despite Windows typically being a bit better for CS & engineering related needs.

You didnt talk about your battery and what compasity it still hold. Its the #1 thing im most interested in. I do not keep mine plugged in, use it Monday-friday 9-4 charge it twice a week and my 16 inch m1 is still at 100%. ive seen some reviews where they keep it plugged in by usb c 24/7 so always fully charge by their monitor and their battery compasity is it 86% On the weekends or some nights Ill occasionally play emulated Wii, snes, Ds, etc HDMI to my tv with no screen on, crazy battery life that way

I'm planning to get this beast, however I'm fearing the battery capacity on light work (only excel word, notion, youtube, teams...) It seems that it can held only around 6 hours of that on low light and power mode ? Is that true ? For the heavy workload, the battery is not important for me. Thanks for this video and your answers guys !

I run mine only with 80% max charge and I usually work around 6h on it before I go home. I don't even carry a charger with me and when i'm done with the work i usually have around 25% battery left. I work with safari since its much better optimized over chrome and some slight coding. If you were to run it from 100% charge down to 0% i have no doubt you can work a full 8-10h day with no problems with ur tasks.

But I have iphone, iwatch and ipad. I stay iphone imessage due to family. The macbooks are extremely nice but the price mixed really diving further in apple has waver at times. I love some the new Asus designs and the suface studio laptop. But Apple knows how to build very nice hardware and those M1/M2s are nice. Just makes me wonder if I am missing out on switching fully and using macOs with Iphone for simplier experience.

Hi there, I recently bought a 14" M1 Pro Macbook pro with Mac OS Ventura pre installed along with 4tb internal ssd. I like it so far, but here are some of the things I have noticed and do not like it about it. First, the battery drains quick. and the second issue I have is whenever I want to to use an external hard drive and formatted in exfat or in ms-dos(fat) the macbook wants to run slow. and it's not with one particular external hard drive, it's with any other external hard drive formatted in exfat or ms-dos (fat). But if the external hard drive was formatted in APFS format then ist runs smoothly and quick. why is that? why in exfat or in ms-dos(fat) it runs slow?
