M4 Pro MacBook Pro 1 Month Later

[@petehboy2]

this guy is gonna get popular good video

[@thebenburns]

Thank you!

[@shredder4841]

The bracelet expectation is pretty dumb.

[@lemon9.9]

I can't imagine how bad the carpel tunnel syndrome can be with that damn bracelet

[@thebenburns]

I’ll make a video when that happens.

[@thebenburns]

I would be more worried about something the backpack scratching up the laptop. The bracelet is an example of how easy it scratches. I definitely will make sure to elaborate next time. Thank you for the feedback back.

[@jdsd_]

Who would have guessed that if you rub metal on metal it will scratch the metal? I wouldnt say its dumb, but its a bit obvious and I dont really understand why you are surprised by that. The exact same thing will happen with the silver MacBook, the scratches will just be a little less visible. This laptop is not made out of titanium, otherwise it would cost like 3k more.

[@lemon9.9]

@@jdsd_ it it was made with titanium, he would complain about how the MacBook damaged his bracelet 😂

[@NotSoSophos]

Well spoken. Quiet chill music? Right to the facts and solid -right to the point- intro? Practical look on technology and it's intended purposes? Sign me up; thanks algorithm!

[@thebenburns]

I’m glad that you liked the video! Thank you for the kind words.

[@mcdjchandler]

I went from a late 2013 Macbook 15" 4 core i7 to the M4 Pro 14 core 14". It's a different universe.

[@jeromuscle]

I'm actually considering buying the same specs exactly, seems like the best option. Cheers

[@mallo21]

great video! the mac m4 pro is my first macbook coming from a mid range 2018 windows laptop and the battery life is night and day. also happy with the workload i can put it through on the run without worrying about plugging it in

[@thebenburns]

That's great! I remember when I switched to my first Apple laptop, and I said the same things.

[@fiveconcepcion]

just bought a m4 pro today ! switched from a macbook pro m1

[@thebenburns]

Good stuff! You will definitely see performance improvements.

[@RtlyBeauty]

I did as well. Had a M1 MacBook Pro 16 inch.

[@DeNunez27]

I love how quickly my battery chargers with the braided cord. I miss my ✋🏻Boosh.

[@thebenburns]

Ya the braided cord is really nice! And the Boosh might come back

[@jimtipton8888]

I went from the M3 Pro 14" to the M4 Pro 16". It was a size thing, but a noticeable bump in performance as well.

[@thebenburns]

That's awesome! The new chip is really something else.

[@Torturium]

I upgraded from MacBook Pro 14 M3 Pro to MacBook Pro 14 M4 Pro, I'm extremely satisfied with the performance.

[@thebenburns]

That’s awesome!

[@MateusMarquezini]

Nice video!

[@thebenburns]

Thank you I’m glad you liked it

[@Treborray]

I love the brighter display and more ram!

[@thebenburns]

It's really nice when working in a bright environment. And the ram makes the video editing I do super smooth.

[@anmolshelar134]

hi Ben, i’ve been looking to get the macbook pro too i just wanted to ask about your experience on the space black color? how does it hold up against smudges and fingerprints? did you do any research regarding it? ive been contemplating a bit too much and i honestly dont know which one to get still ive heard a lot of people return their space black to get the silver one and that silver lasts better overtime since its the actual color of the aluminium meanwhile the space black is a coating and it wears off at the palm rests and just fades off unevenly overtime. It def looks better than silver but longevity is questionable. What are your thoughts?

[@thebenburns]

Hey that's a good question. I did a lot of research before getting mine too. The silver color defiantly ages better than the space black and because of the lighter color, it doesn't show the finger prints and wearing points that you made. Because I already had a lighter color I decided that I wanted to try the darker color and see how it works for me. So far its been good but I have noticed finger prints and smudges. But, they don't really bother me that much. I would say that if you are worried about having the finger prints and smudges you should go with the silver.

[@asadel-norhazry]

I kinda miss my touch bar though I had totally no use for it ... 😢

[@thebenburns]

I do too. I wish they would have put more effort into it.

[@lemon9.9]

​@@thebenburnsthe touch bar is either hated or loved, no in-between, and apple nowadays are way too scared of making products that is not accepted by 99% of the market

[@thebenburns]

I think it will be interesting to see if they keep the camera control button on the iPhone.

[@latinreuben]

If u didn't have keyboard problems with old MBP, would u replace battery to have a secondary laptop? I have 2015 MBP that i feel only needs a new battery to do basic browsing & emailing.

[@thebenburns]

I probably would. And I still might change the battery out just to have a back up laptop. If basic browsing and email is all you need it for. I would definitely save your money until you really need to upgrade.

[@muntasirmahmudsaif6239]

should I even upgrade from m1 pro? i am an app Dev and software engineer

[@thebenburns]

That's a good question. I would think that you wouldn't have to if you didn't want to. But the computing power of the new M4 lineup is really fast and could make your workload move quicker. But, if you aren't having any issues with your current M1 pro, I would say save your money and wait until you need it.

[@DJVonDutch1]

2026 Apple is revamping the entire MBP lineup.

[@thebenburns]

That’s going to be exciting. Hopefully they are touch screen hahah

[@jdsd_]

2:32 Another KZbinr spreading a lot of misinformation about the Nano display. I really don't mean to be rude but so many KZbinrs do this when it could be avoided with a little research and it's really starting to get annoying. - You dont need a specific microfiber cloth, any smooth microfiber cloth (like the ones for cleaning mirrors/ glasses etc.) works just fine. Just dont use the cheap, rough ones, those will scratch ANY glass surface including the glossy display, not just the nano. (Obviously Apple says otherwise, they wanna sell more of their overpriced 25$ Apple cloth) - You won't "accidentally" scratch the nano any more than you would scratch the glossy one, as there is almost no difference in the strength of the surface, Apple has significantly improved the nano display on the MBP compared to the older nano on the iPad. But actually, how do you even scratch a laptop screen? I haven't had a single scratch in 15 years of laptop use - And the worst misinformation: It does NOT mute the colors, the only people saying that are keyboard warriors in forums, clueless KZbin comments and KZbinrs who dont do their research/ havent seen it in real life. In those comparison videos on KZbin, the nano looks worse. That’s because it’s difficult to convey how it really looks in real life via a KZbin video. It’s recorded through a camera lens, hits the camera sensor, is color graded, rendered, and then uploaded and compressed via KZbin. So sometimes the colors will look hazier/more washed out than in real life. There's a good video by a KZbinr called ArtIsRight. He measured the color accuracy and contrast of both displays in detail using "Calibrate" and the Nano display was not only as good, but even slightly better than the glossy one. Like I said, I didn't mean to attack you or be rude or anything, I just wanted to give you the correct information.

[@kylelanham8771]

Wow, imagine someone who is genuinely trying to help people and give his opinion and you come in and slam him and then plug another youtuber. Why not make your own video if you're an expert.

[@jdsd_]

@@kylelanham8771 You missed the point at all. It's not "helping others" to spread false information, it's the opposite because people might base their buying decisions on that false information. I was just trying to correct that and also named a real comparison video from another KZbinr in which the correct information is shown, so people don't come at me with "WhErE Is YoUr SoUrCe?"

[@eburns8673]

Your opinion only, let's just stress that. He has actually been using this product for over a month and these are his comments based on actual use. ​@jdsd_
