When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out" "Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time."

One key difference between the M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max is the amount of monitors that can be hooked up being 1, 2 and 4 respectively. This can be a game changer for some.

Thanks for the honest video. I do audio editing and after seeing so much coverage of how the top spec is the best, I was feeling like that was the move. Glad to see coverage of the the base models still reviewed this positively. After watching this I'm quite confident I don't need the max.

[@razerow3391]

Why? Honestly I gotta ask why people with zero tech knowledge buy Apple... Having literally been in a class where everyone made the college switch from Mac because they are so poor why? They are basically like supermodels. They look nice but in reality do very little. The compatibility is so bad! I mean I am guessing you haven't seen the new Intel chips and how they are basically gonna show up M1 and AMD will mostly like do the same. Apple computers decided a long time ago that they were the tech company for people not into tech... But at least iMacs looked cool and were fashionable... Just wanna know why this is fashionable now? Cause beyond it being a "Oh I have a Mac actually" I can't see why you kinda people own them.... Enjoy spending that much for 4TB of storage and ignore the new chips and the fact DDR5 is now coming meaning in 2 years time your $5k machine is obsolete. OUCH! I rocked a MSI GT80 that was $4k for 6 years and its still running and can run anything I throw at it... At least your m1 pro will still be running... I also love the fact that nobody is benching them for workstation to show how poor the things actually are compared to Intel/AMD based systems that are similar price. The fact that it can be beaten in rendering times in blender and Maya by a $2k laptop with AMD in shows you all you need to know.

Thanks and keep it up 👍🏼

[@dothetontim]

I'm all in on the 14" model (coming from my 14" Matebook X Pro). I wanted the 1TB drive and I wanted it FAST so I splurged on the in-store spec 14" 10/16/16/1TB config. Didn't need the full fat M1 Pro SOC but 5 years from now it will hold its value vs. the 8 core so the extra $$$ is not too bad. Way more laptop than I need but I just couldn't go for the 13" screen and old form factor after waiting years since my 2015 15" died.

[@smileyc123]

I totally don't notice the notch at all. It so often blends in and the additional screen real estate is worth it. I love the new MBP. It is bulky compared to my previous MBP, which I haven't updated since 2015.

[@DonKreuter]

Thank you for the excellent 2021 MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch computer with the M1 Chip reviews! It was Awesome! I am also excited about the 14-inch model.

[@joebloggs3789]

M1 with 16GB and 512GB SSD is $300 less, but to have 75% performance cores, that 14 core GPU, the ports, the screen, the function keys... I was sold and got the 14" the very next day. That is over two months now and absolutely loving the performance of the M1 Pro.

I‘m with you on the fact that the base model can get most things done easily. However, IF I felt the need to upgrade (speaking of the 8k future) one component, what should it rather be (for Lightroom and Final Cut Pro / non-professional editing)? Max out the M1 Pro chip, or get 32 GB of RAM? Thx for the informative and entertaining video.

I would agree max the m1 or....just straight to the m1 max if you really pushing the GPU the max is the one to go check out the 3d benchmarks etc.......

nice review! I think when you were commenting about the use for most people, I definitely agree that M1 is enough for most people, but you were then saying 'unless you really need the ports'… that's true, but I do think the screen will be the main factor drawing people to the M1 Pro devices, and probably the speakers too.

OK my justification for the notch not having Face ID on the Mac is definitely because of the thickness of the screen itself… If you’re looking at the thickness of an iPhone you’re talking probably three or four times thicker than the area that you have on the MacBook… The notch is to house all of the camera components in such a thin lid
