M1 Max 16 inch Macbook Pro - TOO BIG for Travelling?

[@lilafromyoutube]

Watch next: the one gadget that saved my shoot while travelling! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJS9mYSHeduEmZY UPDATE: It’s been brought to my attention that 1h to transfer 500gb of footage is NOT fast. On my PC it would take at least double so I was honestly impressed. But as it turns out I’ve been living a lie because I thought I bought a LaCie SSD (considering the $$$ I paid) but it looks like it’s a regular external hard drive 😂 OH WELL. Live and learn. This isn’t a data transfer speed test anyway. And this means that the MacBook is probably a billion times faster than it is with my current HD. We shall find out when I buy a real SSD LOL. I hope you enjoy the rest ✌🏻

[@inderveerjohal7218]

I’ve been using a crucial x8 2TB and it’s been faultless… I am looking to get or make a sabrent rocket NVME external as those are the fastest and can sustain the speed too…

[@iutiubdotkomm]

Hey Lila, great video. I am still contemplating if it will be a 14inch or 16inch. it is even harder to choose now than before, because the only tradeoff with the new models is the screen size and maybe some battery life. As for an external drive, I bought the Raidsonic Icy Box IB-1825M-C31 (which is very Mac-like, but only fits in color if you opted for the silver MacBook) and put a 2TB Samsung 970EVO Plus inside. It is the best version for me. USB 3.2 can transfer up to 10GBit/s in that case, which is up to 1,25GB. So your 500GB would take half a second. If you need even faster speed there is also USB 3.2 2x2, which has up to 20 GBit/s. But that is way more pricey I like your video setup by the way. Planning on a Sony A7IV to replace my 6400. But these days I am renting the A7SIII most of the time and use the 6400 just as a B cam and for Zoom Meetings

Excellent review I give you one hundred percent ratings for not complaining that the MacBook is too heavy or too big, most of the guys have problem with the size and weight, you are a winner thanks for keeping it real.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

It's essentially identical in size to the 15" Mid 2015 MBP and everyone traveled with those. Zero regrets. For me, Screen size trumps that smaller size.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Same

[@edimarjunior572]

That 15" was already at the border line 8 years ago, when that design launched. Now, 8y later, the new 16" feels is even more bulkier, I bought that thing and regret after 3 days, I felt weird carrying it around, it feels like I had an outdated and gigantic machine. I felt in the past, literally. The 2016~2019 15" was perfect size.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

@@edimarjunior572 Different strokes I suppose. I can't function without that larger screen. My wife has a 14" HP Spectre 360 and while the small size is nice when traveling, the screen size is an issue for me and my workflow when traveling (which is numerous times a week) and when I only get 1 screen to work on, every little bit helps. I've tried using hers a couple times (when she was trying out my old macbook to see if her workflow could exist in MacOS) and I resorted to just swapping back and fourth between desktop spaces instead of just having everything I need on one screen. I know 14 vs 16" doesn't sound like a lot but it turned out to be a much bigger deal than I expected and since all I've known is the larger macbook form factor, it feels exactly the same but with a bit more screen... and a HELL of a lot faster/quieter.

[@salto1994]

i have a 2013 15 inch and i was surprised to see that the new 16 inch is as big as my 15 inch. wearing glasses and having some eye sight issues i think i'll opt for the 16 inch instead of the 14 inch.

[@TruthAndMoreTruth]

I thought that the 16” is the same footprint as the 15”. I’ve used the 15” for several years with no issues with size.

That Lacie can break your heart at any moment. I've had like 6 to 8 of those fail on me in the past 24 months. I switched to external SSD and am much happier so far.

[@jasonleetaiwan]

@@lilafromyoutube Any optical drive is a disaster waiting to happen. SSD gives less headaches because the drive can move without possibly damaging the drive. I hate hearing the moving parts in the LaCie fizzle out. You start to hear it and then it gets worse and worse. Then files start disappearing. I spent a week getting files off of it onto an SSD. The drive would work for about 15 to 30 minutes and then stop working. Then I would have to restart. I had the darn thing backed up also. Both my main drive and backup failed at the same time. I decided I needed to a change after this last episode that caused me to lose much sleep.

As a shorter person with smaller hands I would still not trade in my 16 inch for a smaller laptop. Having a bigger screen is my priority when I edit videos and carrying around 16 vs 14 is a small difference (what’s an extra pound when your bag already is 8kg 😂), I just take the “inconvenience” and enjoy a bigger screen!

[@darylphuah]

You're unlikely to charge it from the car. What determines the charging ability is the adapter and power source, not the cable. Unless your car charging port is capable of outputting 140W or higher, you wont be able to fast charge. The adapter you use must also be capable of that output, and support whatever protocol apple is using to enable that fast charging.

[@lilafromyoutube]

I never said you can fast charge it though. Just that you can charge it if you can plug it into a usb-c power outlet :)

[@hubciooo]

even if you can't charge it so battery percentage increases, you will prolong running time, so IMHO it's still worth plugging it in car.

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

Well u can charge it thruu a car also. There is 100w chargers made for xiaomi phones that goes in the car.

[@danielton9577]

Just got my hands on the 16" MacBook Pro I ordered in November, and this thing is INSANE. I just got the M1 Pro, not the M1 Max, since I'm not a "creative professional" and don't have a "workflow." I just like the Mac. I upgraded from a 2017 13 inch MacBook Pro that sounded like a jet engine if I did anything serious on it. I was surprised by how much thicker and heavier the new one is, but in a "pro" laptop, I'm fine with that! On a technical level, what they pulled off here is incredible.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Agreed! Good to read that you’re enjoying your macbook

[@mjsabie8517]

One key point you didn't mention about working on the go is that unlike PC laptops or even older MacBooks with Intel, the MacBook Pro does not lose power when it is unplugged.

Fair point! I don’t have any experience with working on laptops so I didn’t know but thanks for adding this :)

@@lilafromyoutube You're welcome....Loved the video. I haven't taken my 16 inch on a plane yet so I was curious to see how it fit on the tray table. But yes most laptops throttle the performance considerably when you are on battery but the new MacBook's have basically identical performance if they are plugged in or not. Huge advantage for working on the go.

Yeah that seemed odd to me too def too slow for an SSD drive. Those speeds match with standard 2.5” HDDs. Something might be wrong with your drive!

[@Dmogul]

@@tommy_videoz of course their are faster drives out there but its totally possible to have slow speed on a Hard drive to a PC, i can plug the same hard drive into my i7 16 inch Macbook which is inherently slower in processor and ram specs than my PC, but has that sweet thunderbolt 3 speed and i can transfer files in 1/3 of the time it takes me to transfer from my i9 built HP omen with twice the ram and better graphics, So don't sweat the small potatoes of this discussion, this is mainly a breakdown and review of currently used items in reference to using the M1 Max.

[@GoneSailing78]

Great video. Yes, you can charge a MacBook Pro 16" from any USB-C power source. I sometimes use the USB-C plug I have for my iPhone to charge my MacBook Pro rather than lugging the massive plug/power adaptor with me. It charges more slowly with lower power going in, but it does the job absolutely fine, and if you want to travel light, then using the folding iPhone plug is a viable option, so long as you are not looking to fast charge. Leave it plugged in for a few hours while you are asleep, and you will wake up to a fully charged laptop. On the size front, I also have an Air M1, which I bought with the idea that it would be my out-and-about laptop, but I never use it. Once you are used to the 16", anything else feels like a poor compromise imho. If I am travelling and space is so tight I can't get my laptop out, I use my phone to catch up on emails or whatever or take the opportunity to take a break from screens to read a book.

Im buying this in a few weeks and was wondering if its too big or will it fit inside a bagpack. My questions answered. And the Airdrop thing I totally forgot, and I love that exists. Thank you. You have my sub :)

How is the size around the house? On the couch/lap on the bed mainly. Too unwieldy? Thanks!

[@lilafromyoutube]

I think it’s a great size on the couch or bed. I usually edit on the couch!

my M1 max + v90 sd card takes less than a minute to transfer 75gb haaha it depends on the card write speed as well

Maybe Apple should make a genuinely "pro" version of the 14" inch which is just a little thicker than the current one. That would allow a bigger battery, better thermals and an SD card reader. Then it would have the portability of the smaller machine with the extra features of the 16.

[@srirachahero4679]

Can the 16" screen be opened to 90 degrees on an economy tray table? The video seemed to show you had it open at 90 degrees but I might be wrong.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Yeah, it depends on the plane. I was on another plane recently that was a bit tighter so I couldn’t. But sometimes I can 😂

You should consider getting a Samsung t7 heard they"re super fast external ssd"s

Thanks for the tip!

Super useful info, I am looking at the same config for an M2 MacBook Pro assuming they come out soon as expected. Although I expect it to be almost nil better than the M1. I’d be super happy with the M1 also.

Wow. Such a professional looking video. And well reviewed. Good job Lila 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

I'm eyeing the 14" just based on price point, glad you are loving it, I figured you would. :)

[@lilafromyoutube]

I get that! The m1 pro or max?

[@JasonLorette]

@@lilafromyoutube probably just the pro, it’s likely enough for what I do. My poor 2015 MBP is struggling lol. I was going to get the M1 Mac Mini (to replace my 2012 MM) but then these new MBP’s came out and now I have to have one. 🤪

[@lilafromyoutube]

Hahaha the MBP is def a bit more versatile. I was dying to get a laptop because editing at my desk all day was driving me nuts. A luxury problem for sure. But now that I can work wherever I am (whether that’s the couch or a cafe or on a trip) has been good for my mental health 😅

@@lilafromyoutube I hear you, I’d love to upgrade both but my bank account definitely disagrees.

Practice-ability 😂😂😂😂 - practicality you mean | great video though cause definitely on the fence between this and the 14”

If my 16 in MacBook is my primary work machine, I am not taking it out on the road with me. I would bring a MacBook Air or maybe a base model 14 in MacBook. I prefer to use a tablet to read mail and documents or to watch movies when traveling. Or just my phone if traveling light.

[@HQuiD]

@Lila You have a HDD LaCie, the SSD doesn’t come in a rugged variant with the colorful protective coating hope this helps

[@lilafromyoutube]

haha I really thought I bought the SSD. What a waste of my money. At least the HD is faster than it is on my PC! * goes to cry in a corner *

[@KarolinaInferno]

Do you also have a problem with charging the computer if it is totally turned off and below 50%? I just bought a Pro computer and it does not charge with magsafe when turned off... hmm.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Interesting but no I haven’t turned off MacBook yet. If you want, you can connect with me on social media so I can get back to you when I’ve tried that. (But it sounds like a malfunction)
