Nano Texture MacBook Pro M4 Pro UNBOXING and REVIEW

[@beastmode_0n665]

The cleaning cloth is only included because you got the one with the nano texture display

[@aabhashsharma9542]

normal display m4 pro comes without cleaning cloth?

[@KarlConrad]

Minor upgrade for the MacBook Pro this year, but solid if you are looking for a nano texture display or are coming from Intel based Mac/M1. Here's my recommended spec: BASE M4 Pro / 12 Core CPU / 16 Core GPU / 24GB RAM / 512GB SSD ($1999 USD)

[@sharnabiswas4435]

Always love your video sir ❤️

[@ArthropodSpidey]

Minor? Maybe for you. It's huge for M1 users who don't buy a laptop every year like you do.

Hey Karl, your unboxing and review of the Nano Texture MacBook Pro M4 Pro was super insightful! You gave a great breakdown of its features, and your thoughts on the design and performance are really helpful. If you’re open to it, I’d love to discuss how my agency can help with brand partnerships, allowing you to keep focusing on making great content like this!

[@bikalpaudel]

Nano textures is not good for those who use laptops in their room or mostly at night time or even indoors. You will get crips color and clear text with standard glass.

[@moderngentlemanschool]

That's my understanding which is why I ordered a standard glass display since I'm mostly indoors. I feel like these reviews talking so much about nano texture are almost deceptive.

[@bikalpaudel]

@moderngentlemanschool thats good. Enjoy your new macbook.

[@batmanonholiday4477]

i feel that I could just get a matte screen protector off amazon for 20-30 euros and that would pretty much be the same as this super nano-texture...

[@batmanonholiday4477]

@@user-jr7bb6g9ev how about Kensington UltraThin Magnetic Privacy Screen Filter? That thing seems to be different to the usual film you get which makes the colors washed out

[@craigchuraman1340]

@@batmanonholiday4477 You can, but if you search youtube for other reviews, they show that Apple just does it better. The matte screen protectors don't compare. They sacrifice screen clarity.

[@adityalindson]

I remember when they used to put a cleaning cloth with the 2008 MacBooks... takes me back

[@DIYReid]

I can't decide if I want the nano-texture or not. I haven't really dealt with many reflections with my 2018 MBP. I just don't want to miss out on this screen if it's that great. I'm worried about out in the elements outside and such and the maintenance of keeping it clean vs the standard screen. I don't want the text or images to be fuzzy on the corners.

[@TheGamerDrago]

You only get the cleaning cloth if you order the Nano Texture Display

[@PlatinAviation]

Yeah 👍

[@vrajesh251997]

*1. **3:07** is a good enough reason NOT to get the Black Colour. It looks so bad with the silver showing with all those scratches. 2. You should have used the same wallpaper to compare the displays. 3. Other KZbinr's have said that the Nano-Texture display reduces the inky black a little bit and the colours look washed out when editing videos and photos.*

[@mesharia2022]

Something sexy about the nano texture display even though I've always preferred glassy displays.

[@incawarrior5470]

[@ApolloDigitalCA]

Fellow Canadian Videographer here! :D I pre-ordered the base M4 Pro MBP with the 96W power adapter. Switching from an Intel-based 2017 MacBook Air (8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, so complete base specs) and I'm so excited to pick mine up!! I hope it actually comes tomorrow on release day!

[@nutricartel]

Is the nano texture a better option than just getting a regular display and matte screen protector?

[@crool88]

Do you think the nano texture display makes the color black up pure lighter and text appear less sharp?

[@prajwalkrishna]

@0:38 designed by california in Apple??

[@isherpa]

😂😂😂

[@nicklovinit]

Haha it’s an ongoing joke!

[@sotonin]

If you get the higher cpu counts of the M4 Pro then you essentially can compare to the M1 Max model with 32 gpu cores. It will beat it out in CPU but just barely lose out against Graphics... damn nice equivilent if you ask me. I'll be trying to compare the two when mine arrives.

[@wayanbarre]

You say you prefer the standard glass. What is the reasoning behind? Do you notice better sharpness and contrast compared to the nano texture?

[@KarlConrad]

The colours are deeper and richer

[@wayanbarre]

@@KarlConradok thanks! Hard to decide because other reviewers say they don’t see a difference!

[@wenenosa]

Do you think the space black color made the MacBook look even more like a MacBook?

[@connor_williams]

How you liking the space black? I saw it was a bit scratched up around the ports for a year, which is to be expected. Any regrets? lol I have a mid spec 1tb m4 pro space black being delivered tomorrow!

[@x7amaan]

i am same thinking to return the space black and get the silver

[@JdilpkleRS]

I picked up the 11 inch M4 nano screened iPad two days ago. I enjoy not having to worry about reflections with the screen. When I would speak at podiums, I was always trying to manipulate my standard screen iPad to avoid the stage light reflections on the screen. You do give up a little bit of sharpness, but it more than makes up for it when you can take your iPad anywhere, sit by a window, sit under lights coming in from any angle and generally go about business without having to worry about reflections which are unavoidable and will at times be totally distracting. Have you ever tried to show someone standing next to you a video or picture on your device and found it difficult to get them to see the screen because of not getting the screen angle just right for them to see because of reflections - no more. I’m writing comment this with a lamp above my right shoulder which would totally be reflected in my old iPad, but it doesn’t even show up on the nano screen. Not to mention the way my fingers glide on the screen surface without ever stopping or sticking at all. The surface is like Teflon to the touch. Wonderful. None of these things possible with standard screen. Food for thought. All the best.

[@RoniRocks397]

I think having a base m4 on MacBook Pro is fine, for those who just need the extra ports as the air doesn’t have an hdmi or sd card reader

[@Treborray]

Dang I wonder if I would like the nano texture. My apartment has so many windows

[@Yoelsan062]

the 20 GPU is such a tempting upgrade, since now you can get the close or even same GPU performance with the M1 Max with 32 GPU

[@kennyjayhardy]

Yes there is. A much brighter screen also things that will make MacBook Air definite from the MacBook Pro

[@BeeRoyLee]

It may help to use the same background on both displays.

[@JosephAguilar19]

I had the 2007 MacBook Pro and it came with the cloth…crazy i forgot about that

[@ZuberBhatti]

M4 on MBA will always underperformed it sibling on a MBP since the PRO has fans to cool down and allow more power to be squeezed

[@PlatinAviation]

Loving them! I plan to get the base M4 pro, upgrading to 20c GPU tho. Coming from 8GB MB Air 2019 😂

[@onlooker3015]

[@alex-chicago-80]

For my workflow and for what I do, the M3 Pro will be my daily for the next 3 to 4 years. Unless of course Apple decides to cut OS support. I get these manufactures make money out of selling new products, but there's a very small crowd that upgrades every single year.

[@farhanbaig404]

Apart from the reflective aspect, is there a quality difference in the displays? Like for those pixel peeping for editing needs?

Coming from an Intel is definitely an upgrade but M1-M3 is a no-no.

[@tyusthedev]

You clearly don’t know what your talking about, this is the biggest upgrade apart from intel to m1, apple have done so far, especially for m4 pro models, look at the stats they gave us. Please actually read on the devices before you comment bs like this, saves us all time and can save people a lot of money. Upgrading from m1 to m4 is a no brainer, however m3 to m4 is pretty much pointless, unless you need that extra power.

[@MichaelNNguyen]

@@tyusthedev M1-M3 is a no no. The end.

Nano texture is bad because it will reduce the clarity of the screen, reduce the blackness of the blacks, and reduce the accuracy of the colors.

we all need to be honest here, The only reason why KZbinrs will recommend 14inch MacBook Pro base, Is they have other high performance M4 max or the Ultra with Studio-display devices @home. If you only have budget for ONE device you need to choose what fits your work or business requirements. KZbinrs have the luxury of upgrading every year, take their advise with a pinch of salt.
