[@tannerwest7546]

I think one thing to keep in mind with performance is future proofing. When I was 18 I bought a $1900 MacBook Pro with the upgraded processor, memory and RAM. I was just going to use it for college and didn’t need all the power, but that computer ended up lasting me 7 and a half years before the performance was too slow. You may not need the power now, but if you pay up now, this could easily last you 5-7 years.

@@eliaskhalil7302 If you're doing engineering then you should definitely get the laptop. I would get an upgraded MacBook Air because for your needs, the performance difference is irrelevance, but the difference in lightness and thinness will be noticeable since students move around a lot. If you're not doing engineering then I'm not sure which one is better, but if you don't need the performance I would value thinness and lightweight! imo

Excellent review. Thanks for breaking things down so honestly and clearly. I'm on the 2019 16" MacBook Pro and the battery life when doing editing video or photos is terrible. It's a beautiful machine, but not a good mobile workstation.The portability, battery life and performance of the M1 Pro and Max chips seems like an incredible upgrade.

[@Ontheroad13]

I have a M1 Air and all I use it for is college classes. That being said, the battery life is a game changer. I can go be on my laptop all day for studying, classes and media at night and still be above 50% the next morning.

You know I realized that this topic is really a "glass half full/half empty" type of situation. I'm having trouble calling it a notch because I don't see it as a notch into my display, I see it as two extra slivers of display stretched out into what used to be a bezel. To me, the "notch" is just extra display I didn't get, rather than something that's been taken away from the display.

[@HiroiSekai]

I got the absolute base model 16” M1 Pro model, and even there, it’s been a complete beast. By far, even to this day, if someone asked me what my favourite Apple product was, it’s this. I tested the waters on the final Intel 16” MBP to see if the largest spec’d model could facilitate my workflow of OBS streaming, Photoshop/Final Cut Pro, multi-tab Chrome browsing, and other little small-bite apps doing work like FTP/chatting/etc. in the background. It absolutely couldn’t even do the first step of OBS streaming, immediately ramping up the fans when opening the app, and by the time the app even started to render a preview window, it started to throttle down to a point where it’s unusable. The base 16” M1 Pro MBP not only never ever kicks up the fan enough for me to hear them, but it now runs my 100+ layer Photoshop documents (multiple), 10-15 usual tabs on Chrome, every single extra dock/full-res preview and actual streaming on OBS, and all my other apps like Discord, Transmit (FTP), Music, and even a queue’d up demanding Handbrake video conversion. It does all of this at once, whisper silent, with a maximum of some very slight warmth when you touch the aluminum right next to the fan. I couldn’t even imagine how much better this works for even more complex workflows with the higher spec options, considering mine is the absolute lowest-end M1 Pro chip running off of 16GB of RAM. Just madness, fantastic work Apple.

[@france4me117]

Marques Brownlee, I sooooo genuinely enjoy watching your reviews and yes, I just ordered the MacBook Pro 14" with 32GB Ram. All I'll be using it for is purely for music composition.

@@austinmaurer342 In german we call machines like that: "Goldener Käfig" These macbooks are truly masterpieces of electronics. However, they are far too expensive for conventional activities and often unusable for special areas of application. Many programmers tinker with Linux here and there. Something like that is out of the question for company laptops. As for the other cases, what else is there great besides audio and video editing? Most of the business software that is needed for business matters is Windows dominant. The macBook is of little use here. This is why these parts are only the "non-plus-ultra" for a limited group of users.

Amazing review and definitely getting one of the 14" M1 Pro Max. Check your external monitor needs before you choose your version! I don't do a lot of video editing but I do use a workstation with either dual (or more) monitors and I've been experimenting with the larger curved monitors at the higher 220hz refresh rate. I nearly purchased a 13" M1 but thankfully someone pointed out that the M1 (on the laptop) only supports one external display. I did a little digging and: M1 - 1 External display M1 Pro - 2 External displays M1 Pro Max - up to 4 external displays That was a game changer for me.

I just got a 14in from work (I had a 15in 2017 MacBook Pro prior) and it's such an awesome upgrade. I don't do a ton of super in depth work on it, but I'm exciting for when I have to start using Adobe on it more. Also, a cool little feature of the 2021 MacBook Pros. The USB-C ports also act as chargers. So if you forgot your charger or bought a back up for the USB-C of the prior models, you can use those to charge. In theory you could plug both in, but it'll only pull power from one.

As someone who stated editing in 1981 with 16mm film, then moved to 1” video, ¾” video, Betacam, Avid, Premiere, Final Cut Pro Studio (I was apple’s broadcast guy in Asia PAC for a couple of years working with a whole lotta big houses in the region) I have to agree with you 100%. M1 powered MBPs are the tool that finally frees content creators from a desk in a room…anywhere. I thought we had hit that point in 2004-6, but this makes all that look and feel like serious delusion. I’m running Resolve, for a whole lot of reasons, and I refuse to work with more than 4k, but lately I’ve been including more footage from a GoPro 10 in 265 “just because “. As a test, I have transcoded less of it and my DSLR footage to ProRes, which has been my workflow for almost 20 years just as a way to avoid the unavoidable space bar struggle to play thing. I decided on the 14” purely because I (usually) do my work out of a backpack roaming around South East Asia, and I can slide this into my 30L everyday pack, with cameras, lenses, lights and get on a scooter/bus/train/plane and go to the next location. I totally get what you mean about a few of the ports being not quite as bleeding edge as the could have been, but, as someone who’s dropped far more money than they should have on aluminium shells over the years, there were so often too many over specced ports that were a total waste. Case in point: Thunderbolt. Great standard, piss poor adoption by the marketplace. Apple users were never a big enough demographic for affordable devices to take advantage of it. Finally the rest of the user world has caught up and we’re getting the advantage of usability and reasonable price. So, all things considered, I’m happy as a pig in mud, and once things open up again, I’m really excited to get back on a plane and actually be able to do serious, serious content creation absolutely, unequivocally anywhere I want to lift the lid on my sweet little space grey piece of joy.

I have to be at a lot of places during the day and being able to just close the laptop lid in the middle of something, going to some other location, and then being able to jump right back in anytime, with the computer sitting in my lap(if I have to) without my legs melting off… it has added such convenience that I’m able to work much more efficiently.

I likely will not touch the edges of the power of this laptop, but this is one of the best reviews of a laptop I've ever seen in it's completeness, comprehensiveness and clarity. It covered every conceivable aspect I would be interested in and did it in such a way and with a clear explanation that I am now able to not only be confident of purchasing a new MacBook Pro, but which one and in which configuration. That is a very important aspect, as I work for a non-profit and need to make a definitive decision and not have to regret it - because I'll have it a very long time. Kudos!

As someone who has never owned an apple product I must say this laptop is really nice especially compared to windows laptops! Only thing that I don't like is the smearing/ghosting when moving anything on the screen at 120hz. I bought this laptop for Blender 3d because Apple joined the dev fund to support Metal. Blenders viewport performance is extremely good and the trackpad support is perfect. I also just found out that Windows 10 Blender releases don't support trackpad gestures like Mac releases of blender do. I tried a trackpad on my windows 10 pc for Blender and it was terrible. But there is a patch D7660 Add support for precision touchpad gestures on Windows which I beleive is just now being integrated into blender on windows 10.
