I keep wondering which one would be best and if I need to upgrade if what I use it for is mostly Adobe CS and mostly photoshop and Painter. I do a lot of digital painting. I don’t have money like some pros since I do it mostly for myself but would really like to know if I should go deeper into debt with 32Gb ram or if 16Gb are good for this.

[@heythere6983]

I just used my 2019 MacBook Pro on youtube and it glitches and skips audio during songs. My phone and of don’t do this on the same videos Middle class rut “new low” is one of many songs that skips forward real quick around the 2:20 mark. Plays smooth on everything else. Kinda a disgrace that a laptop over 3 grand I got for audio production is doing this, better not do this when recording I also just added over 200 video files and songs on there. Moved it from the download folder into another new folder. It moved everything to the new folder but didn’t update all the gigs in the folder. A few minutes later, THE ENTIRE FOLDER WAS EMPTY. IT DELETED ALL THE FILES. What a trash company man

Seems like some problems got fixed while new ones got added. Maybe I'll just stick to the 2018 iPad Pro, there doesn't seem to be the amount of problems with them that the Macs keep having. That said, I'm genuinely interested to see if Apple releases a 14" Macbook Pro in 2020, hopefully with all the new benefits & none of the issues.

The dedicated VRAM is a blessing and screams through video conversions and scrubbing 4K using Final Cut without breaking a sweat. The fans all the way up using Adobe Premier, though... Perhaps Adobe just don't know how to write software?

Thank you for mentioning the need for the SD card slot at 8:30. Every Mac user needs to keep pounding on Apple until they do the right thing and return that Pro feature to the MBP. Goodness knows we pay enough for it. Schiller tried to defend its removal in an interview by saying he's a photographer and doesn't need it, adding that Apple doesn't like the fact the SD cards stick out the side of the Mac! Yeah. He actually said that. Putting the extension power cord back in the box would be another welcome improvement. And as silly as some say it might look, having a single USB-A port on this "Pro" MacBook would eliminate an easily lost dongle. Anyway, thanks for the great overview!

[@DM-mi4mo]

what did you buy? which model?

[@MichaelGGarry]

The thing is with Apples pricing...... If you take the base model and upgrade the GPU (5500 with 4gb) and up the storage to 1TB, you are almost at the upper tier model which comes with those features anyway, so you're almost getting the i9 for "free". Here in Singapore the price difference is therefore only S$80 for the i9 instead of the listed upgrade price of S$360.......

[@madagaska9011]

Michael Garry the i9 you get when you upgrade from the i7 is actually the 5.0 ghz one instead of the 4.8 ghz one, it costs 180 more. But the 2 i9s are too close to justify the 180 price difference

[@MichaelGGarry]

@@madagaska9011 Good spot - but why on earth do they do that? It still doesn't change the point though, that if you upgrade the GPU and storage on the base model, you can then just get the upper model with those features already included plus an i9 for a rather small difference in price. Which leaves me in quite a quandary as I have seen reports that the 5500 + i9 can lead to power throttling, but I haven't seen many people test the i7 + 5500.....

[@madagaska9011]

@@MichaelGGarry Depends on your room temperature sometimes. In 20 degrees Celcius or below room temperature, the machine is unlikely to overheat, however, in a hotter room with a sustained workload the machine can definitely throttle.

[@MichaelGGarry]

@@madagaska9011 But the reports are power limit throttling, not heat.

[@madagaska9011]

Michael Garry the cpu is rated at 45W and can boost up to 60-70W, gpu is rated at 50W and can also boost a bit higher than that. With display, ssd, and other stuff drawing power, the system can draw more than the 100Wh battery can offer at peak. If you plug the power adapter in tho you should see everything running at its designed speed. The MacBook Pro was designed as a 100W system and performance shouldn’t suffer too much if you run it purely on battery power

[@ic1878]

I'm really happy with mine. 5 -10 hr logic sessions, its able to handle all the plugins & tracks no problem, even when the project gets really big. I tried recording someone's rap vocals with the mic, I EQ'd it and i would say I can get shure sm58 quality out of it, so not bad at all!

[@quezster]

I updated my questions about fan noise (originally posted here) to kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpfId6h3e9R2qZI The message there now asks the following: I'm a recording musician so my priority is a balance between power and the lowest fan noise. Of the three 16" MacBook Pro M1 models three (and the three 14" MacBook Pro M1 models) which run coolest? And which run most quietly in terms of fan noise? @Mac Tech, would you consider making a comparison video on the fan noise among the current six MacBook Pro models? And also like to know if the M1 Pro or M1 Max typically have less fan noise, particularly when runing Logic and other audio apps. I think there are probably other musicians (particularly of the self engineering ilk), vloggers and editors that would sacrificed a little power for a more consistently quiet working environment! For decades I've been plagued with the nearly constant, low level, but distinctly audible fan noise ... which often reaches a ridiculously unacceptable levels. On one MacBook any touch to the trackpad would spin up the fan and it would stop when I removed my touch. Apple was never able to help me find a solution. So I'm cautious. I've LOVE to get the 16 inch MacBook Pro, but I've seen reviews that state that it runs it fans louder and more often than the 14 inch models. (I'd be inclined to get the Mac Studio but I'm too attached to portability.) My ace in the hole will be using an iPad as a control surface, so I can move further away from any problematic fan noise. Anybody finding MacBook Pro fan noise problematic on the latest Models?

Might consider this tbh, just trying to justify it. A lot of channels use Lightroom as a benchmark test, and that’s what I use most, but it’s not particularly difficult 😂 my 2016 regular MacBook runs Lightroom perfectly smooth.

The new MacBook Pro comes with a keyboard that works - MAGIC, REVOLUTIONARY! And yet still, a 3000+ euro laptop that does not support VR out of the box. You would have to use an external card and probably have to pay 1K extra just to get to use Mac OS and have a slightly thinner laptop.

Going to save up for the base model. Do not need it but I definitely want it!

[@Boxcart]

the subtle flex at 2:49 lololol. Also though thanks for a great video!

1-2dB is negligible in nearly all situations. I’d say that means Apple made an excellent trade-off.

[@tonyjoo1463]

No ghosting issues?

[@wrangler10]

Still waiting for 13/14 inch for 2020

[@SushilKumar-lw7yw]

Excellent work ... brother... keep it up

[@Chinos626]

Will there ever be 14 inch MBP since Apple dropped the 16 inch?

[@Itsralphcaz]

how do you download this wallpaper without showing adobe stock on it??

[@Cainoid]

Will the base model handle.FCP?

[@madagaska9011]

Depends on what you do. Normal 4K projects should be a breeze. Just don’t edit 8k raw with it lol

Now I need a 14 inch MacBook Pro with integrated graphics for better battery life, then I wanna buy an egpu and put a 5700XT in it which blows the 5500M out of the water and I don’t need that power on the go. Also an improved webcam and as card slot and HDMI port would be nice.

How is it with gaming now? Bootcamp. I actually wanna play anno 1800 on an extern screen with 1440 p. You think the 5500 m 8 gb will handle that. That’s the only game I wanna play tho. So no, i don’t wanna go for a razer or sth.

Thanks for the detailed review. I bought it with 64TB RAM, 4TB SSD, 8TB video card RAM and I use it primarily with Adobe Lightroom. I noticed that many tasks such as face recognition, exporting files, uploading images to a cloud service and creating previews put enough pressure on the CPU forcing the noisy vent system to kick in. Is it normal? Is there any configuration tip that might reduce this quite annoying and unpleasant behavior? Many thanks, Stefano

[@rohanjain9050]

Stefano Maruzzi it should be fine after all the software updates. But also Lightroom is horribly optimized.

Which GPU for gaming in pretty great conditions (future-proof) ?

[@johngalt6627]

Go for the bigger one with 8GB memory. The smaller one works fine for games too, but obviously a GPU can't be "too fast". Remember that there are eGPUs as well, so you are not necessarily bound to the MacBooks own GPU. I use a Blackmagic eGPU for gaming and rendering myself. Very handy.

[@deloliilol]

John Galt Thanks for the answer!
