Apple 14” MacBook Pro - Long Term User Review!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Hope you enjoyed the review! 😄 Final week to enter the Apple Watch giveaway: gleam.io/competitions/ocQd9-aez-apple-watch-se-giveaway

[@Jen-ic9ce]

I have owned the M1 MacBook Air since its release. Before buying I watched as many videos as I could between the Air and Pro. What helped the most in my decision were of course videos, but videos that spoke more to an average consumer like myself and that are easy to understand without big numbers and jargon. Thank you for making your tech videos so accessible, down to earth and enjoyable

[@TJzoned]

I don't have this laptop but I'm in awe on these features

[@louissmith2493]

Pro max fast / m1 - Could you post some details about how well the 14" MBP runs Bioshock Infinite? That's one of my favourite ever games and I play it on my 13" 16GB MBP in Parallels and get about 30-40fps on medium settings at 1400x900, but I'd like to know how far you can crank up the detail and resolution on the 14" MBP with 16 GPU cores in Parallels?

[@prakash.rai.]

Did anyone experience the earthing issue it seems no one is talking about it on their reviews which seems like a pretty common issue with 2-pin duck head.

[@metalingus_]

Which game were you playing?

[@tom9518]

Casually watching this after I’ve ordered it to justify the $2000 spending

[@naurnah98]

😂

[@metalingus_]

Spend 4.2k AUD on it this week once I learned the m2s are delayed, was waiting around for those actually. All I did was upgrade ram to 32 and 1Tb, also got the 10bit cpu

[@lapatabelluda2240]

I got one Two days ago for $1700 taxes included on Best Buy it was on sale 😅I save $400 bucks so far so good

I switched over to the Macverse when I was FORCED to at my new job and I have zero regrets. So my fav Apple Products are now MacBooks too :)

Noted on the FORCED. Not everyone's cup of tea, but we can't deny MacBooks are a beast.

[@smoov_23]

did you trade MacBook Air for MacBook Pro?

[@mars1393]

thank you for sharing your experience, Jen!

[@iZam1993]

M1 MacBook Air is undoubtedly apples best laptop hands down, for the average user such as myself. In fact if you look at the specs, the difference between the 13 inch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro is negligible. Touch Bar, fans, and… that’s it. In terms of performance, because of the M1 chip they perform fairly equal. Save yourself some money with the M1 MacBook Air 💻

[@Andreas-iv8ym]

I love the larger size. I’ve always felt compelled to use a protective case with my last few MacBooks that were so thin but with this one I love just having the thicker chassis

[@PackFan2323]

Excellent review! Not a power user but wanted the larger (than my 13") higher rez mini led screen, better speakers and of course the ports. Photography is my long-time hobby and the SD card slot is a very welcomed returning feature.

[@LoveIsWar977]

Thanks for the review, planning on getting a 14 inch sometime this year

[@tech.inspector]

Great video and btw your desk looks absolutely gorgeous! May I ask what lights you have installed behind your table?

[@willgomberg]

the 13 inch appears thinner because it has a tapered edge. measured from the centre (its thickest point), it is ever so slightly thicker than the 14’. i know, it doesn’t change the fact that from the edge the 14’ is thicker

[@alexb9924]

Thanks for this video! I love your honesty regarding this MacBook 🙌🏻

[@apochrome]

Awesome review, thanks! Which desk pad do you have? I love it.

[@EricFDrums]

[@somefishhere]

I can’t believe you used to have to crawl under your desk every time you wanted to import footage from your camera! Congrats on this great review AND the cinematographic intro! Love the editing at 3:20 and throughout the video. I’m amazed to call the pro max fast!

[@taesmani]

I finally saw in person yesterday when i went to the apple store to get my airpods fixed and i fell in love with it. Definitely gonna trade in my 2019 intel 13 inch macbook pro for the base model 14 inch hopefully next year.

[@DavidArmah.]

Great music choices! You really know how to score fr!

[@xERRRAHx]

I’ve been working off an old 2014 13” MacBook Pro. So I’m way out of date but it’s been just a daily use laptop. However I do work from home now and will be getting more into creative work. So I’m finally considering doing a big upgrade and paying for high end model as obviously I keep for a long time

[@psygreg]

I kinda like the new design, but that view might be influenced by the additional ports that are very, very helpful to me.

[@creiGnn]

First time Mac owner here, and I've fallen in love with how this chunky retro boi looks and feels. As a general-use "computer", this thing does everything, and I really mean everything. I am coming from a desktop gaming PC (which I've sold recently) and even the amount of games I can play from my Steam library is pretty satisfactory. Obviously it isn't a hardcore gaming machine, but I much rather use a gaming console rather than sitting and working in front of a desk and THEN sitting and playing games again in front of a desk nowadays.

[@nya4198]

I use Apples bootcamp to continue my gaming journey on my mac :) One reason I can’t go back to windows PCs is because I can’t switch and use apples beautiful OS X, which I immensely prefer compared to Windows

[@AlejandroHernandez-kk1do]

@@nya4198 does that bootcamp functions for the m1 chip?

[@rolandszadai1522]

exactly the same man, I'm done with sitting :D

[@petergabriel8448]

Great one! I was wondering if there is much ghosting/halo effect when coding in dark mode with a black background and white text due to the mini LED back lighting.

[@sasmithreddy2171]

The intro B-roll is lit 🔥🔥

[@Michael-ur5qb]

I got my 14” M1 on sale when the M2 came out. I love this laptop and like Apple put functionality before form factor. The trade offs make it worth it. The laptop is stunning and I love the black inset of the keyboard. Can’t wait to see what Apple does with this new chip.

[@RealtorShannonSeals]

Great review. Super informative

[@THELIFEOFCB]

thanks for your video and the comparisons to the 13" which I am also coming from. Undecided on my purchase yet as I haven't tried to edit any videos yet, I do appreciate the bigger screen louder speakers and ports but is it worth the price difference??

[@nikhllogic1248]

Quick tip: you can actually use an M1 MacBook with dual screens using a DisplayLink compatible adapter, it negotiates using USB protocols, it takes a hit on resolution but nothing major if multiple screens is a must.

[@joyl.]

I’m waiting on mine to arrive tomorrow. I have the same configuration and I’m happy that this will be my first Pro Max Fast.😉

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Enjoy your new purchase, you'll love it!

[@RailinX]

Looks so sweet! Can’t wait to check out mine when it arrives.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@TheCryptonomatron]

Exact same model as mine and I love it!

[@audreyracela]

Pro max fast! Great review. thank you!!!

[@sgoldkuh]

Exactly the same as mine. I had the choice between this one and the Air M2 but display, GPU, ports, cooling system, speakers and finally the offer at Amazon made it easy for me. A great machine; I love it and would buy it again. btw I don't care about the weight. Formerly I used an MBP mid 2009 ... that's mass :)

[@isaac.explorer.oficial]

Hello Andrew. Thank you for this review. I’m on the way to purchase my first ever laptop, I’m going to study photography and I’ve already purchased Adobe creative cloud. Should I buy the 14.2 M1 Pro or is it enough with the M1 Air both with 16GB RAM?

[@bielakbeats]

Just got the 16 inch. Best laptop ever used by far

[@erfelipe]

Could you share your opinion on weight and portability? I have a 2017 MBP that I use constantly and I carry it in my backpack. Is this M1 Pro much heavier?

[@lilycourchaine509]

Pro max fast. Wish I had this laptop but now going to watch your 1 year review for the first M1

[@scapevelocity]

Pro Max Fast! Mine arrives on Tuesday, as my 2013 MBP has been hanging on by a thread. Personally, I like the look, and the return of the ports and all the other good stuff (no/low fan noise? awesome!) makes for a real quality of life upgrade. Great review, thanks!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Good choice! That 2013 MBP lasted you long enough to deserve this upgrade! 💪

[@subramanianb]

Nice video with good information. I have been using 14 inch M1 Pro for the last two months. Superb machine for photo and video editing...only issue I have is heating while using photo editing software. It gets heated very fast when is on "SKYPE" video conferencing...Hope Apple will handle this issue...

[@deaglanohaodha114]

Great review

[@LucasGuardado]

great review!! thanks!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Thanks for watching!

[@techspace1797]

The 13” definitely does look thinner but I’m pretty sure that’s just due to the tapered edges. At their thickest points they are about the same. I also really like the new design. Something about the chunkier more retro look makes it feel less dainty than the 13” and makes it feel more of a rugged and capable machine.

[@metalingus_]

You're right about the tapered edges bit. I looks rocker than it feels.

[@sacitizen1089]

I always bought every Apple product in the pro model and once the M1 came out I switched to Air and the best move saved a lot of money . The pro is for heavy users not the normal user .

[@LennyTurner]

pro max fast - thanks for a great review. Really simple and easy to watch. Keep it up man :)

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Glad you liked it!

[@lalitsethi4177]

Hi. Would you pls share which game you were playing while showing a demo in this video / 4.30 frame ???

[@fukyu2]

Hey! I love your monitor, can you by any chance tell me the specific model of it?

[@Karen-ut7vo]

Awesome video! After more than a year use, how are you finding the scratches and finger prints on the space grey? I like the space grey but heard so many people talking about scratches, fingerprints and colour fading. anyone have any opinions?

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

[@davidfield2030]

For viewing regular non HDR content, for instance coding, is there a meaningful difference between the displays of the Air and the Pro? Thanks

[@tty2020]

Safari now supports Pro Motion, could you do a short video showing that? Thanks!

[@clarkstewartermila3236]

Pro max fast. Planning on buying at the end of the month, specifically, the base model.

[@myl0ve421]

Hey andrew, do you find that there is some lag time for the alienware ultrawide to register and start displaying the macbook? Wondering if there is a workaround for that. I have a similar set up with the same monitor.

[@Jaqueue]

The reason why you see a more dramatic difference in width is because you were comparing edges. The 13” MacBook Pro has a convex shape, making it thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, meanwhile the new 14” is flat all the way across

[@avril6310]

Hi, I already have an iMac (2019 i believe) as my main computer and i do not mean to get rid of it atm but i do need a portable one. Im a graphic design student and i use adobe cc quite often, which one would you recommend? i think the air is out of the table because im concerned about it getting too hot, its more so between the 13 inch mbp m1 and the 2021 14 inch new one.

[@KadlagAkash]

Hey Andrew, Why Would you chose MacBook Pro 14 in Space Gray Over Silver...? I am very confused about both colours. Please Suggest me Brother...

[@bilal_1817]

My favorite tech is certainly the apple MacBook pro m1, it’s an amazing laptop!! Great reviews, keep it up!

[@juanmarcosgaray6300]

I actually like how it looks. I have the 13 inch, thinner MacBook Pro… and the form factor is sleek, but I came into the MacBook game with the black MacBook (years ago) and it has a similar look, albeit thinner. For me, it adds a bit of sentimental value to my purchase. It’s like coming full circle. I also join with others opinion on not being able to get it all and having it be a little bit more bulky in order to get speed and ports is a really good trade off. Great video!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

It seems we have a majority here. 🧐 You can never really tell with how tech companies plan their releases. We can never keep up. 💁‍♂️

[@Donnut123]

SOOO jealous you had a black MacBook. ABC Good Morning had a pair of those for years and they were beautiful!

[@rgrgraterol]

@@AndrewEthanZeng I also think the design is uglier than previous models. It’s clear Jonny Ive is not influencing product design anymore. But It’s a good trade off for the sake of better performance.

[@Donnut123]

First off, "Pro max fast" lol!!! I've owned Mac laptops since 2006, but I just upgraded from the 12" MacBook a month ago and this is the first laptop that has replaced my PC desktop. I even had to buy a trackpad to use it with mouse and keyboard on a desk! I bought the mid-grade 14"(waited the extra month) and upgraded to 32gb as my old 12" had 16gb and I was scraping the ceiling sometimes. I run Windows 11 in Parallels along side MacOS for work and I have to say the experience us lovely. Keep making these videos, I like your content! Subscribed.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

[@final_mile_music9713]

I love this design. And this spec is a sweet spot. I don’t think the design is ‘rough’. It’s perfect.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

[@ImprovingAbility]

Waiting for the ultra long term "is it still worth it" review after 2 months! 🤣 Loved the many different camera angles and settings, almost like an at-home experience. The MacBook Pro 2021 has not arrived yet near my place (Vietnam) so looking forward to seeing it in RL!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Coming soon! 😂 Given the cost to acquire such a device, a monthly review might be helpful. I'll see if I can shoot a 1 year Ultra, Pro, Max long term user review 🤓😅

[@OnceUponLater]

Pro Max Fast! I’m still holding out for M2 just to see if I can save extra cash on this, but I expect it to last a decade just like my mid 2012 Retina MBP, either way

[@bellchen]

I thought long about it and you convinced me to get one 😊 I just ordered the 14“ M1 Pro 10c 16GB 1TB SSD in silver. I am used to work on a 15“-16“ model, but I chose the 14“ because of mobility reasons and I hope it doesn’t feel too small for me!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

It's a great all-rounder because of the portability and specs. A little time to get used to a smaller screen but you'll definitely get through it. 😆

[@Mr.Singhhh]

I have 13 pro but I’m thinking about changing it with 14 pro but still confused. I’ll be using it for programming. What do you advise? I might connect external monitor. But the charger on 13 is on the left and has no hdmi

[@stevenedwards2532]

I'm waiting for my 16" 2021 MacBook Pro with 2TB SSD storage and 64GB unified memory. Perhaps a little more than I really need for my use cases in video and audio editing, and general business stuff, but I have to admit, I'm excited about getting it next month, and I look forward to using it for many years to come. I'm upgrading from a 2018 MacBook Pro that I really haven't enjoyed, particularly the keyboard. The points you brought up in the video were things I noticed immediately when playing with the 2021 MacBook Pro in the store. By the way, nicely done video. Keep up the great work!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Nothing is ever too much with tech, I guess. These devices can never be future-proofed as there is always something "extra", so you're good. Appreciate the support!

[@billyoung9124]

I am waiting for my 16" 2022 MBP with the same specifications. I believe that it is better to have more, if you can afford it, and not use it, then not have enough and regret it. The butterfly keyboard on my 2016 MBP 15" on an otherwise very good laptop is driving me crazy.

[@Scott-oc1ir]

Highly recommend the 16 if weight doesn’t bother you. I love the amount of screen I get with this thing, and it still fits in my backpack!

[@user-rr3ms4hp8e]

I shifted from a 16' to the 14' and this laptop looks tiny to my eyes. Makes me want to go back to the Intel chip regardless, 16' is comfortable.

[@billyoung9124]

I've ordered mine and expect it next month. I am hoping weight isn't a problem and, if it is, too bad.

[@little_fluffy_clouds]

@@user-rr3ms4hp8e No need to go back to Intel, there’s a 16 inch version of the MacBook Pro, too.

[@jamtalcantara]

That cheeky apple upsell call out haha. 🔥 Good review hre. I've watched a lot of reviews and you're the few ones who took time to explain how m1 chip is built different. Question: Do you think the 10 core was too powerful for your workload? I'm also a digital marketer / business owner and i'm thinking if I should just settle with the 8 core since I'm not really handing 4k video footage but I may be editing Prores footages soon.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Thanks Jarmaine! If you'll edit Prores footage, or 4K in the future, invest in the 10 core. Either way, it's a great laptop for business owners that don't like being bottlenecked by tech.

[@justanut]

I would think that the GPU count affects video edits more so than CPU count. Not forgetting whichever option u choose comes with the ProRes encoder/decoder that speeds things up.

[@tjmedia7887]

Is the backing for the keyboard coated in something? I felt my friends model and it felt like it but I can't tell cause everyone says its anodized aluminum. I know the material under it is, just trying to work out if there's a coating. For context, I am allergic to the metal and can put dbrand skins and cases everywhere else, except there. If that is coated, it would mean that I can get it!

[@FredLeclef]

Hello, If you work with your laptop all day long, every day... what do you think will happen to the battery ? Are you using the battery or is it plugged in all the time? What do you recommend? 🤔

[@baroum.]

I still prefer having the 14" (not necessarily fully spec’d) I’ve played with both the 16" and 14" at the store, while they both looked thicker than previous ones, and the 16" felt very bulky while holding it up and putting it back on the table, BUT MY QUESTION IS : are the new MBPs more prone to dings, for me the aluminum didn’t seem to be machined like the previous ones, and the screen lids wobble like crazy especially the 16" one, while the previous ones rock solid lids when bumping the table or putting them down… I still have the 15" from 2014 got it fully spec’d at the time, and after 8 years of use it handled bumps extremely well and the lid doesn’t wobble at all, even if you force it, it wobbles for like a split second and stops, the new ones especially the lids, feel less sturdy to me, and if they make the new Airs like that too, I think I’m gonna get a fully spec’d MBA before they change to the new design… sorry for my long comment but I was really wondering if anyone else noticed that and your experiences using the new MBPs with the new aluminum chassis/lids, THANKS!

[@efwewfwef1549]

i totally understand your concerns about the wobble! somehow apple seems to go after that "one finger lift" when closed. that started 2016 with the redisigned mbp. i too prefer the sturdy mpp hinge from 2012-2015. it still lets you lift the lid pretty easily but doesnt give you that wobble anciety when having it on the lap!!!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Appreciate it!!

[@tanvirazamrizvie7306]

We can't demand portability, power and looks at the same time. because it's like one or the other. If gets thinner body the thermals will be fucked up. If try to make it look good the ports are taken out. If we want more power outta the CPU or GPU the battery gets downsized. So form my point of view the Apple 14" M1 pro is the sweet spot along with the 16 gigs RAM and 1TB SSD and the 14 core GPU.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

No truer words are spoken. 👍 And even if we get all those you mentioned, it will definitely raise the price even more, so yeah.

I have the mbp 13 m1 and mbp 16 m1 pro, as a software engineer I mostly work in dark themes, but I always end up taking my gaming laptop to coffees our outside because the matte screen has no reflection, and MacBook pro screens has huge reflections when the screen is black. I love the MacBook quality but not able to enjoy it because of that simple issue :(

I agree with you, this 14 is perfect. I traded in my 2020 13 inch and got $800 for it. such an amazing machine plus you can still charge the laptop with a USB C in any of the ports. No issues for the notch for me yet. Winning.

I would say my favourite Apple product is the iPad. I love digital drawing and it’s the perfect size for me to draw on as I find the phone too small. Lovely video btw. Keep it up!

Pro max fast. m1 pro. Airpods Pro - still best headphones for me with all its active noise cancellation, transparency mode, wireless charging case, sweat and water resistance..

Mine's on it's way- my first new laptop since 2014 (tho that was a 2012 pre-owned mbp). Im fairly excited :) Oh, and Pro max fast ;)

Good video man. One thing: Face ID can't be added in a future update because it requires special hardware, which these new MacBooks don't have. The notch only has a camera. Just thought I'd let you know.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Thank for the info. Well we hope that could change in future releases. Or if Apple can magically do that, wouldn't be so bad too 😁👍

[@imhaydenmelrose]

@@AndrewEthanZeng I would absolutely love a MacBook Pro with Face ID. Like you said, hopefully we'll see it in the next generation. Maybe 2 years from now?

[@gueroloco8687]

I love mine it works very well!! I have had no problems it runs Remote Desktop very well with no lag, and does video editing very well. I am very happy with my decision to buy one!!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Thanks for sharing! Glad to know it works well for you. 👍

TY- Long term PC owner finally taking the plunge into the mac pool thanks to the new chips.. pro max fast!

I just ordered the 8 core 14" pro and I'm a music producer/student but I'm a little nervous that it won't perform as well as I need it to for my music? I hope I'm just being paranoid. It will be my first Apple product ever.

I'd love Face ID to come to the Mac, however, it's not going to come via a software update. Face ID relies on 3 major sensors (Dot Projector, Flood Illuminator, and an IR Camera, which the 2021 MBP models lack) to create a 3D depth map of a user's face.

Meh, it literally takes 1 second to touch the button. It’s really not needed.

[@danielpedersen1688]

is it just me or does the apple website u have open @1:11 look a bit crammed? idk maybe its the camera angle or u zoomed on the screen, but looks quite small and theirs such huge white space out in the left and right side.

[@mrzouz]

Face id coming in future software update?? faceId as in iphone require special camera that is not included in this mac, no software can replace that.
