But cj the weight of the 16 inch is balanced out by your wallet becoming lighter?? no?

[@ErnestoValdezJr]

Hey CJ, I was on the fence about this very subject... in fact I'm sitting here on the Apple store app trying to figure out which Mac Pro I want to spec out. I decided to watch some comparison videos and I so happy I came across yours. Your video plus reading the comments helped a lot. I will be going with the 16" mainly because I don't travel a lot and I prefer the screen real-estate for photo / video editing over the portability of the 14". Thank you and everyone in the comment section.

[@Nathan-ts6qk]

unbelievable comparison touched on every point i was looking for, keep it up man well done

[@jimtipton8888]

It's a hard decision for sure. I have 16" MBP M1 Max. It's great for around the house or maybe if you are going for an extended stay somewhere. If you are using it as a portable work device (I'm a sales rep, so multiple clients at multiple locations and a lot of time spent working in my truck or on a plane) I would go with the 14". The 16" is a wonderful laptop, but it is a bit of a beast and mostly sits on my desk with the occasional trip to another room. Rarely leaves the house. Update: I ended up trading in the 16" and getting a 14". For my use case it has been much better and a more enjoyable experience.

[@oscarsuarez4843]

14 inch MacBook looks sharper ?

[@jimtipton8888]

@@oscarsuarez4843 No, screen resolution and brightness are about the same. just easier to travel with.

[@sglatitude]

Personally as someone own 16” MBP on Intel, I prefer the larger screen real estate of 16”. However, most of time I am connecting the MBP to 38” monitor, as such, I don’t see huge benefit of 16” MBP. I will pick 14” but beefed up the processor M3Pro, 36GB, 1TB SSD.

[@shred3005]

My last two MBP (Intel) have been 16”, but these days I link them to a 32” monitor for photo Lightroom and Da Vinci resolve video editing so I don’t need that 16 inch screen any more. I’m gonna get the 14 inch which for portability is only 40 g heavier than the 15 inch MacBook Air. True

[@synen]

I use 14" and iPad for screen extension and portability, plus the iPAD has other handy features.

[@stanleyezidiegwu7187]

I had the old dell xps 15 (which is as big as the 16"MBP) as soon as i used the 13" xps I stopped going out with the 15". Trust me if you go out a lot with the laptop then that portability is a huge factor

[@billwhelan869]

First time I rolled in, CJ, and I’m smiling happy that I did! What a wonderful, balanced and well paced presentation…whew, quite a bit of surely felt but unseen skill behind its making. Thank you, sir-you’ve certainly got the goods. Being a seniorish citizen and mostly a castle-bound worker now, I’m thinking 16s my number. As for the set-up, if I will be using this device to edit photos…Photoshop-Lightroom-Luminar, as well as do simple research in the Web and enjoy movies and videos, what would your recommendations be? I really, and I mean really am looking forward to your reply. So thanks for it! As for right now, we’ll, I’ve got to work my way through all your other vids, and if they are at this level of gooditude, I’m gonna be a busy boy for hours to come. Many thanks--I loved this one. Onward… Will

[@Toskajavich]

Easy choice if it's going to sit on your desk most of the times. then get the 16 inch if you know you are travelling or just carrying it around, save yourself from frustration and get a 14 inch (coming from a 16 inch owner)

[@iali00]

Have both the 16in M1 Pro MBP and 14in M3 Pro MBP. Honestly, if you could only have one then I would go with the 14in because of the portability.

[@CodyWardTV]

Just discovered your page. Great videos! Keep it up!

[@filipr6070]

I prefer the 16" because of the larger screen, better battery, better sound, larger trackpad and better performance.

[@Dando-1983]

They definitely have different sound profiles I thought the 14 M3 sounded clearer but like you say the 16 has a bigger lower end soundstage.

[@gerald1964]

Another issue with the 16 inch MB Pro is the edge of the front of the notebook will generally rub against the wrists as the distance from the keyboard and front edge for the 16 inch notebook is much larger than the distance for the 14 inch notebook even when typing in the correct position. However, if the notebook is in fact being used as an actual laptop rather than desktop, this is not an issue since the elbows are at or above the notebook surface.

[@vicariousgreek5711]

I am also concerned about this… I thought it was my idea after typing a bit with it at the store I visited couple of times. But something doesn’t feel right I don’t know. I want to use it mostly placed on my desk with no external monitor or keyboard

[@ptah4000]

Get my sub for the fact that you covered all the info I was looking for

[@dbtech4562]

For me it is neither. Getting the next refresh of the Studio and using my base MacBook Air M1 for traveling. I don’t want to carry around an expensive laptop outside that can break or get stolen. Plus the studio gives more ports.

[@jayrod377]

How about 14” MacBook Pro vs 15” MacBook Air? One gives you higher refresh rate and brightness, the other a larger screen…and price likely close if the 14” goes on sale…hmmm

[@high_fructose_cornsyrup]

I'd say cost would be another factor in deciding your screen size. I went for the 14", mainly for portability reasons. Went with the fully specced out M3 Pro with 36GB of RAM and the 4TB HD. I configured both the 16" and the 14" MacBook Pros, and there was a $300 (CAD) difference between the 16 and 14" models with the same exact specs. These MacBook Pros are no doubt expensive, so if you're looking so save a bit of money that would also be something to consider as well.

[@piki0126]

you should look into the M3 Max with what you are paying it might be a tiny price difference for a much better laptop.

[@high_fructose_cornsyrup]

@@piki0126 You mean the binned M3 Max? I seriously thought about it, but I think the M3 Pro will more than suit my needs especialy considering i'm coming from an older Intel MacBook from 2017. I'm not really going to be using it for anything too extensive -- the M3 Pro should be more than enough despite the lesser number of GPUs and CPUs. I'd much rather save the $600 tbh.

Same - I bumped the specs on the 14" M3 Regular Chip to 16gb/1TB to give some head room / future proof. Coming from a M1 13" Pro. I couldn't justify any more computer for me - I'm audio production with some photoshop and the odd bit of video. Going for a M3 PRO/MAX or 16" just too expensive / overkill. Being able to take the laptop places easy - eg to record a nice piano or a show somewhere then bounce worth more to me than the bigger screen and slaying 3D Video render apps.

[@tomlewis4748]

Great video, terrific job. Kudos. As a music producer, maybe you can do some performance tests with Logic Pro. The reason this would be valuable is bc GPU, efficiency cores, graphics performance, ray tracing, Mesh, dynamic caching, and all the other bells and whistles of M3 variants have no value at all in Logic and Ableton and other DAWs. That's all just eyewash for music production. In music, it really is all about the sheer number of performance cores, and to a lesser extent how fast they are (all M3 P-cores are the same, from M3 to Max and beyond). And currently, 6 is the highest M3 P-core count. But how would the 8-core option (4 P-cores), 11-core option (5 P-cores) and the 12-core (6 P-cores) compare? That would help music producers make the better choice, where all the other differences between 14" and 16" don't really impact performance all that much, other than thermals, and that the base 14 has but one fan. And as a music producer, I hope you find this interesting: It's not an empirical test, but I took your audio samples and did a Match EQ in Logic Pro. The 14 and 16 do sound about the same, but they are not the same. There are a few little peaks and valleys in the freq response that stand out. At certain frequencies, the 16 is 5-7 dB louder than the 14, seven instances: 80, 190, 800, 2.3K, 2.5K, 3.3K, and 10K. At other frequencies, the 14 is 5-7 dB louder than the 16, also seven instances: 240, 350, 500, 1.3K, 5K, 8K, and 16K. That was not quite what I expected. If anything, I expected maybe a smooth rolloff or increase at maybe high end or low end. But that revelation notwithstanding, bottom line, in your full mix, they do sound pretty identical other than what you pointed out, and that is likely bc the peaks in the 14 spectrum analysis happen at higher frequencies than those in the 16 analysis. And that is of course with actual music and a smoothing factor of 4. Increase that to 24, and it's a bit more revealing, in that the 16 is about 2 dB louder below 700 Hz, while the 14 is about 2 dB louder above 700. I'm not sure why you compared the 11-core to the 12-core. Obviously they will perform differently, and typical stress tests include those bells and whistles I mentioned, which have no bearing on music production other than mudying the waters. The 14" can be configured as 12, identically to the 16". In fact, those are the two I am considering. One surprising thing is that due to the way Sonoma is configured, in tests with otherwise-identical configuration where one has a 1TB SSD and the other has a 512, where both have two nand chips and therefore the same I/O bandwidth, the 1TB slightly outperforms the 512. I consider the term 'binned' to be a misnomer, which implies that unbinned is somehow superior to binned. In reality, all chips are binned. The 12-core is likely designed with more than 12 cores, bc that will increase the yield without increasing the cost. Assume it is actually designed with maybe 14 cores, and one may yield 14, another 13, another 12, another 11, and another 10. That's just the reality of yield. They would take the 14 and 13 and disable the extra cores, then 'bin' that as a 12. The 12, they'd disable the two that didn't cut the mustard. It has 2 cores that didn't make the grade, yet 12 cores did. The 11, they'd disable the extra core and bin that as an 11. The 10, they'd toss. That gives them a yield of 4 out of 5. Yield would be lower if they designed the chip with only 12 cores. And who knows? Maybe those that yield at 14 will appear as a 2024 option? The exact same structure, the exact same chip, but 'binned' as a 14. That would fit Apple's typical marketing strategy like a glove, without the cost of designing an entirely new M3 chip.

I really don’t mind the weight of the 16”…. For portability I understand those that go smaller. But then it would have to be a MBA. The 14” has always been a weird product IMO after they offered the air.

True, though with the MBP you also get additional external display capability compared to the MBA.

[@jmasked5082]

depends. the air is not as specced out and sn't ideal for people that need portable performance. ie video editing, game dev, serious software dev, etc. Also video/photography and graphics professionals prefer the screen quality and peripherals in the 14" vs Air.

[@MadelnMachines]

16 inch for me. My laptop is pretty much a 95% home machine that i mostly only move between rooms and the screen is stunning and the speakers are the best you're going to get on any laptop. The difficulty is you can't get the base M3 and the Pro M3 chip is no longer very compelling compared to the M3 base or M2 pro - which leaves you spending 3-4k on a Max! Well played Apple.

How do you like it so far?

@@yunosan9222 I love it! It is such an improvement over my old system.

Do like a 3 day workout program and you’ll build enough strength to make them feel the same.

Very good video

can you help me anyone m3 16.2 18gb vs m3 14.2 36gb ????

[@swoondrones]

Mini LEDs better than OLED.

[@ANTGPRO]

For coders I recommend 16 inch.

Just what I was looking for!

In other words....make your choice, based on your needs.

For someone thats new to Macbooks. Whats the difference between binned and not binned MacBooks?

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Different version of CPU chips. One has less CPU Cores and GPU cores than the other giving a slight performance difference

[@juancaracoza9404]

@@CJKnowsTECH Thank you so much!

2:00 that's what she said... 😔

[@kevinmartin5160]

The price difference is 900 $ that is to much of a difference for two inches

[@user-vv7ir1pl4j]

you better have returned one of em macs cus thats too much extra money

[@TsReelTalk]

I have the m1 macbook air with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd. It lasted me for 3 years. Shall I go for the M3 max 40 core GPU 16" with 48gb ram and 1tb ssd OR the M2 Max 38 core GPU with 32gb RAM and 1TB SSD.

[@jacqueslee2592]

Your question shows that you truly do not know much of computers. Hence, why Macbook users buy premium laptops that they underutilize and only use for browsing the web. That is probably 99% of Apple consumers are using a Macbook for. Might as well just get a Chromebook.

[@TsReelTalk]

@@jacqueslee2592 Weird response? the macbook air was powerful enough to use for davinci resolve and premiere pro. But now i want to buy an M3 macbook and want something for long term. Dont know why that questions show I dont know much about computers?

@@TsReelTalk Well, it seems that you knew the answer to your question.

its always better to have an extra 2 inches........

CJ all you had to do was follow the damn train!

[@craigb7217]

So… get the 15 inch Macbook Air😅

[@Mmacrossfirekenai]

Fortunately, I am used to lugging a 6.6 pound 17-inch MacBook Pro around. I am prepared.

[@CJKnowsTECH]

Oh wow yup you are prepared 😂

[@jacquesgude]

Ha! Makes complete sense. I had the 17" MBP for years, then went with 15" MBP, then back up to the 16" M1 MBP. At the moment, I'm torn between 14" and 16" MBP Pro Max.

For me, the differences, the application, Vivid, it makes the display 50% brighter so I'm getting the 16 inch MacBook Pro

I can't stand reviewers that won't commit to a side on recommending a product. Another wishy washy reviewer appealing to the OEM's...
