Dear Tech YouToubers, Please stop complaining about the weight of the MacBook Pro. The weight serves a purpose for the internals. I don’t want Apple to revert back to form over function with its MacBook Pros.
@someghosts18 сағат бұрын
The weight is a valid issue though. Just because the balance was swung too far in favour of form in the past doesn’t mean it’s in the right place today. Sucks that people have to go for a smaller screen just because of weight. I don’t see thermal issues yet, do you?
@cameronbosch121317 сағат бұрын
@@someghostsExcept it was way too far with the 2016 - 2019 MacBook Pros. The things needed to be heavily undervolted to avoid heavy thermal throttling, the port selection was horrible, and the keyboard was bad and unreliable. Just get a MacBook Air if you're that weight conscious.
@silliesttitan766817 сағат бұрын
Yeah, how I see it is if you want design, get an air. If you want specs and performance, get a pro.

@ it’s a spectrum though I guess. You could always squeeze out another few points of thermal headroom, more sturdiness and more battery life if you made the thing 5kg and 5cms thick, but then it would be probably even be a bad product / trade off for you at that point

5:23 Isn’t it ironic that after Apple has moved on from chasing thinness over functionality and embraced function over form, you hear from some people complaining about that and desire they(Apple) go back to thinness again? So that they(Tom) can complain about thermal throttling and overheating, etc? What’s wrong with you guys? It’s like you don’t know what you want. Or is just to have something to always complain about? I don’t get it! Anyway, if it’s thinness you want, rumors have it that it’s in the roadmap, OK?

I say this all the time, if you're surviving on an intel Mac of any quality or price the M1 pro will be more than enough for you. The M1 was such an astronomical leap compared to previous gen stuff that if you're surviving with your workloads now the M1 will be enough. You guarantee you don't need the studio version....

I have a question and would be very grateful if you could help me. I'm currently thinking about buying the new MacBook Pro M4 chip. There are two configurations in play. 1) M4 Pro 14Core CPU, 20 Core GPU and 48 GB RAM. 2) M4 Max with 14-core CPU, 32-core GPU and 36 GB RAM. I'm not a video editor or anything like that. Would rather prioritize it for training AI and using LLMs. The 2nd option is approx. 400 euros more expensive. What do you say? Is the second option with less RAM but more cores much better in LLM and training AI code in Python ? THANK YOU

I bought one of the M3 Pro and found the performance middling at best. I do not expect this for $2000. with a Wacom tablet hooked to it for use in my classroom, it's ability to mirror to a TV in my classroom it's CRIPPLED. I keep a Mac around because my students have iPads and it's very useful for turning in video projects with AirDrop... but it's my last Mac. I'm done buying underpowered but pretty hardware.

Definitely interested in the new M4 Mac Mini. It might need some time to get used to a taller mini PC, but the price definitely drew my interest. I could buy an M4 Mac Mini 16/512 and a NexDock or UPERFECT lapdock, and they're still almost half the price of what I'd pay for the M4 MacBook Pro 14 with the same 16/512 trim.

It is great the base model MacBook Pro now has increased RAM and the extra port. Those were the two reasons for me to buying the M3 Pro of previous generation. Mind you I don't think there is any need to upgrade if you own an M1, M2 or M3 - they are all incredible!

To justify the 16”. They should throw in an extra thunderbolt port. The larger body should allow for more connectivity.

Hi Mr Tech Chappie. Would you recommend the basic 14" M4 Macbook Pro 16gb 512gb over a 2021 16" M1 Max 32gb 1TB...? Going to be used 30% of the time for video editing on Da Vinci, and just basics the rest of the time. Asking as about to buy the 16" (£1500) and just hesitating, but cannot afford higher spec M4. Cheers ;-0)

The additional TB port on the 14" model has been there on the MAX models since M1 MAX. Considering the TB5 bandwidth, could they now re-implement the external graphics that worked quite well with the intel models? 3 times the bandwidth compared to TB3/4 might make a difference

My issue with the Magic Mouse isn't so much the dumb charging solution (it's very annoying), but it's more the fact that macOS only lets you know it's almost flat when it drops to 2%! Which, if you're right in the middle of working and you CAN'T just stop for 5 minutes and get a drink, means you're pretty much playing chicken with the battery and praying it'll last a little longer.

The M4 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch is the better value. Better Thunderbolt ports, better CPU, and better iGPU with 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. It may seem expensive at $2,200 USD, but it is worth it for professional engineers/developers/creators. Especially if you are currently using the M1 MacBook Pro or earlier non-M chip MacBooks. No need to change if someone has the M2/M3 Pro MacBook Pro and the M2/M3 Max. The lower tier M4 MacBook Pro is better for those transitioning from Windows or dealing with financial issues currently.

The M4 Mac mini at £599 looks phenomenal. I'm not a huge fan of Apple making the mini smaller and applying engineering resources to keeping the thing cool under load because of that. I live in a really hot country and when it comes to cooling I believe that taking a belt-and-braces approach always pays. It's not just about venting. It's about space, too. And it seems to me that this isn't the first time that Apple has ignored physical and the fluid dynamics of air and heat transfer when "making it smaller" purely for marketing purposes. The M3 MacBook Air at £999 is lovely and the M4 MacBook Pro at $1599 looks excellent on paper. All are of interest to me.

you just make stuff up, you have no idea about the cooling needed for such a device and whether there will be any thermal throttling under use (not benchmarking, that means nothing) the thiner, the lighter the better.

I have a M1 max 16 inch that will be going on the market as soon as I see test results from reviewer. I want a M4 Max the 4 extra performance cores compared to the M1 Max is perfect for live audio production where you need as many cores as possible to run channels and plugins live. Hopefully Apple UPDATES Mainstage! It hasn't seen an update for a long time now and a ton of bands use it as their live audio mixer with audio interfaces. Fingers crosses M4 is as good as it looks!!! Cheers!

Apple is not resting on its laurels. The competition has intensified, and Apple is responding accordingly. In the UK, prices have been lowered, making Macs more competitive than many of the new Intel machines. Additionally, they are far ahead of the Snapdragon X Elite, which makes that product nearly irrelevant.
