Lifetime windows user here and i bought a space black m16 m3 pro two weeks ago. Got used to it faster than expected. Supurb screen, sound and quiet device. 20hours of battery life without any problem. MacOS needs some tweaking and tuning with a few opensource and paid apps. Yes it's a bit heavy but i don't care. Expensive? yes. Is it worth it? yes.

[@tonyburzio4107]

The M3 is an M2 + 15% speed + far better Blender developed 3D graphics. The 15% speedup comes from the first gen 3nm tech from TSMC. TSMC is now working on at least 3 new versions plus possibly a 2nm line. Apple is driving the 3D graphics for both their Vision and gaming programs. During M2 development, it was found the M2 3D graphics were getting hot and draining the battery, so Apple put the M1 graphics back into the M2, fired lots of people and joined the Blender Consortium to sort things out. These two lines of development (TSMC and Blender) became the M3.

[@kuhafiq4928]

8 months ago, I was using just a normal acer aspire with I5-10th gen and with self upgrade of 20gb RAM. I throw android studio, vscode, kubernetes, docker, WSL, vmware. one thing I say it is quite laggy when I do everything at the same time or any such workload. Then I thought, should I buy any apple product such as mac pro or mac air. And then, one day. I decided to give Macbook Air 2020 with M1 chip with 8GB RAM and 256gb ssd a chance to live with me. I was impressed despite it only have 8gb RAM, it can withstand everything i said above. not as good as Mac Pro I believe. but it still enjoyable doing such workload without feeling lagging and not responding all the time. That is why I'm here today, to see whether I deserved an upgrade or not for Mac Pro (probably M3 Max) for future proof. at least for 5 years. If any of the workload I said above is to heavy for such workload, do I deserver an upgrade? comment below.

[@shimoorek]

Great video. I updated because I am coming from an intel chip 2018 early year 13 inch. I have a purchase of the m3 16 inch purchased and awaiting its delivery. I am hoping that I will love the upgrade after 6 years. I believe that get an over powered unit for my practical use gives the MacBook a longer life with updates, technology and demand. Cheers 🎉

Been a windows user for years. Currently in college and needed a laptop that's powerful enough and very good battery. Decided to give in to apple and bought my first ever MBP which was the 14 inch M1 Pro. Missed gaming, Sold it and bought a G14 2022. Realized that it's a good on the go gaming machine. But work related stuff + uni. It's very bad. Horrible Battery Life, Not as fast compared to it being plugged in for a charge. Sold it, Bought a MBP 14 Inch M3 Pro. Currently typeng this right now with it and boi. I LOVE IT! I will not be selling this thing anymore. I have no decided to just buy a computer if I wanted to game. Keep my work/uni related life separate from the gaming haha.

[@oakacc952]

Thank you very much for sharing. That's exactly my scenario! I would say that my g14 2022 is a decent machine but no more than that. Not because it's bad but because it's an expensive mid-term imo: 1 - As a gaming machine, lacks of the power and cooling features of a desktop. 2 - As a laptop has an inconveniently heavy and big power brick plus miserable battery life.

I went M3 max instead of M3 pro. Previously I had a 14in M2Pro, and M2 mini. There was little value in upgrading to the M3Pro. The is no perceptible difference between the two. The M3 max came with all kinds of bonuses, you can feel the power difference even in browsers, productivity apps, and virtual machines. However, you can really feel the battery life loss too even in low power mode. You can feel the difference in screen brightness and frame rate on the M3 max. Invest a few hundred bucks more if you can for the max. If not, strongly recommend the 14. M2Pro!!!

I'm having a unique issue recently. I have a M3 Macbook Pro. For video backups, I bought a 16TB external drive. From other drives, I copied about 12TB of files onto that one 16TB drive and, afterwards, the drive would not remount when being reconnected. It remounted in the beginning. I checked. But, after putting about 12TB onto the 16TB drive, it wouldn't remount. I thought it was the Seagate drive, so I bought a Western Digital 16TB drive. Exact same thing happened. Copied some files over. Unmounted it. Plugged it back in. Remounted fine. When I was done copying over about 12TB of files, it wouldn't remount. I found one other person on Reddit experienced the same issue. Tried all the silly (or concerning) Apple suggestions, like plug it into another slot! But, nothing helped. Anyone else having this issue? Don't know if there's a TB threshold for external drives that isn't supported by this M3 Macbook Pro.

What a journey it has been for me with this device! It stood with me during my 6 years of college, i wrote my master thesis with this laptop, i wrote my girlfriend (now wife)'s master thesis with this laptop, i started my first wedding photography business with this laptop around 2018 which made me a ton of money and now currently my wife is using this laptop for her own baby photography business that she started and she still using this laptop for professional photoshop editing! UNBELIEVABLE. It's crazy to look back on the journey! But it's time to move on, I am sure the Macbook Pro M3 Pro will be worth every penny over the long run too and i hope to write a similar comment in 2036!!

[@UndergroundRailoadTVshowinChic]

Thanks from Chicago, I will keep my M1 MAcBook

[@dawgcanjumphigh]

18GB of RAM is just not enough for 4K60fps video editing. Premiere Pro ends up hogging memory, it used 18GB of RAM working with 4K60fps videos. Thats with zero color correction and just doing voiceovers on the video project. You'll need 36GB of RAM for that. If you do crazy color corrections or something complicated, grab the M3 Max and upgrade the RAM to 64GB or 128GB of it, depending on what you're doing, work off the external drives.

I don't comment on videos but wanted to here; I appreciate this video and your angle. I might do a light video edit very rarely but bought this M3 Pro for office work and web browsing. I struggled between this or waiting for the M3 Air 15 next month. I ended with the M3 pro for the future proofing, screen, ports, external refresh rate, and color. It's hard to watch all the video reviews because while I get the unit is focused to content creators and so, there are normal office uses like me that want a great device and will pay the extra few hundred after you consider the Air 15 price after Ram and SSD upgrade. $300 more for future proof and the screen… absolutely in my opinion. I traded in my M2 Air 13 as the screen was a little to small so I know the abilities of the air

[@KarlynGR]

M3 pro for videos and office is way too overkill to say the least. If what you were after was a larger screen the 15' air M2 was definitely the way to go, the performance gap is very small between M2 and M3 and in your workflow (of watching videos and office) very much unnoticeable. If you cherry pick features like 120hz refresh rate then even the MacBook pro with the M3 was a better deal, at that point you are just paying more for performance that you won't need at all. If I were in your case I would go for a MacBook Air with M2 and 512/1TB storage .

[@markdelles5745]

Same opinion here. Paid extra/wasted the $$ so I could get the 36G to run parallels and a Windows VM because my Windows laptop has been less than 100% reliable. This is more than enough machine, but buy once, cry once is sensible advice because it's not upgradeable. My previous to the previous laptop was a Lenovo X230. I was able to upgrade to SSD, 16G and Windows 10. The replacement was maxed out, I had high hopes, but two years later, regrets. Survey says, Apple has the best hardware. I think it'll meet my needs for 5 years.

What's absolutely crazy about the M3 processor compared to the older Intels, is that a fan never turns on even when you're doing intensive CPU workloads for short amount of time. The older ones you could fry an egg on them and they would sound like a jet engine.

Only if your course is multimedia or you need to do 3D rendering or coding. The Air with bumped up RAM should do well for most uni tasks, even some video editing as side projects. And you may not think it in the moment, but the "slight" weight difference of the MBA is a plus factor for students or anyone who's constantly on the go. It's not gonna be "slight" if you have to lug the thing around for hours and hours.

I got 6hrs for playing 4k HDR video cautiously at level 5 brightness from 80% to 30% of charge @@SharrodVisuals

The battery is completely false, I bought my MacBook Pro m3 only 2 weeks ago straight from apple and it only lasts me 3-4 hour on blender.

[@williamboyce4030]

Love mine

[@robs1714]

I like mine (2 weeks old) and I’ll probably only use 50% of its power and don’t care, it’s gonna be able to handle the next 10 years

I'm watching this on my 16inch MacBook Pro m3 pro lol

Doesn't it feel slow when its screen response time is 25 ms.. compared to windows laptops which have 3 ms..

[@soulesss]

Im watching this video because I could have gotten then m3 pro But instead I got a g16 zephyrus 2023 model because I dont have an.iphone and also its cheaper too. And ngl Im regretting it. The worst part that really turned me off for macbook m3 pro is the fact it doesnt have 2 fans. Typing this at the start of the video and lets see if I regret it more after this video HAHAHA

[@josephtayloruk]

This year I am going from a mid 2015 macbook pro, to an M3 pro chip or M4? I'm guessing the upgrade will be huge!

[@joshuvaantonio]

Donno why Space Black looks Lenovo to Me ☹️ Waiting Apple to go Oled for their screens

[@amoneyj773]

Is the macbook pro with 11 cpu and 18 gpu with 18gb of ram good enough for editing 4k videos and creating thumbnails?

[@apotra20xx]

I believe so, if you don't have other multitude of apps and browser tabs open at the same time..If most of the resources go into that 1 heavier task you're doing, 18 gb should be fine

[@amoneyj773]

@@apotra20xx just made a video on it on my KZbin great laptop!!

[@NaveenKumar-xu8eb]

Does the display cause eye strain when used for long hours(8-9)? Please respond

[@TheOnlyEn]

no

[@Diegoogle]

great video, thank you! (At 7:07 you should rename the title to M3 Max)

ha, so nice at least a fair test on games, all other fanboy just say, fast, no noise, no heat.......

[@nicolasb.henry294]

Who will have a M3 Max? Less than 10% of users. For 80% of people a base MBA is more than enough.

[@bilalahmedwrites]

Watching it on my M1 Pro 32GB.. so no, thank you Apple, see you after 5 years?

[@thomaspalmer6453]

I don't do any video editing, so the Macbook Air is for me.

[@Waltaere]

Arthuur 😃

[@TheDanEdwards]

"Faster SSD degradation" - yet you have no data on such a claim. Are you caught up in some sort of spec war? How likely do you think a MBA SSD will fail after say 5 years, or 7 years? And the proposal to "future proof" is another spec war talking point with little support in reality.

[@jvanvq37]

This is a thing? I still use my MacBook Pro retina from 2012 with its original ssd. And that’s pushing 12 years… so yeah.. lol
