After nearly a year of more and more M1 products, Apple pro users started to wonder when higher-end chips would become available. The answer is... today, with the M1 Pro and M1 Max. These chip revisions are the Jade-C Chop and Jade-C Die respectively rumored earlier this year. The new 14" MacBook Pro and 16" MacBook Pro are the first machines to support this new silicon and the new MacBook Pro has an entirely new mini-LED display, 120 Hz variable ProMotion, an improved camera, speaker system, microphone array, and more. The Touch Bar is dead (yay!), and a full-height function row has blessed us in its place. But there's a lot more to Apple's announcement you may have missed. Let's check it out.

Regarding the notch, from that one screenshot of Resolve, if the menu bar has too many options to be placed on the left side of the notch, the remaining options will just be placed on the right side of the notch. So it essentially splits the bar into 2 sections. People were asking if it blocks any content. From what I've seen so far, it doesn't. Apart from the aforementioned menu bar, fullscreen mode just blacks out the area around the notch, turning it into bezel. Kinda wished they could sneak a fully blacked out menu bar up there in fullscreen mode, but eh. Actually quite impressed with the MacBooks this time around, and it's the first time in a while that I can say that.

[@l0stl0rd]

yeah exactly notch is fine …. just make the menu bar black and it will be nearly invisible. Also According to the new documentation, the fullscreen mode in macOS Monterey automatically accounts for the camera housing by placing a black bar across the top of the screen to hide the notch and prevent app content from being placed there. Just place Wifi icons and stuff in the top black bar and the rest for the app and it is ok. Will be less of an issue than the ipad mini screen ;)

There was a point where you mentioned how we only have 3 thunderbolt now.

Do you think the ARM processors will eventually be able to emulate x86, via VMWare Fusion? Bc right now IT pros do use MacBook on Intel… but I don’t know if they always did back in the PowerPC days. What are your thoughts?

That’s a good point about screen scaling, hadn’t considered how that might work with the notch. I think ultimately, I’m ok with it so long as it doesn’t overlap any programs even by a tiny bit.

Impressive enough that it really set high expectations for the inevitable more powerful SOCs that they announced, and the laptops. I'm shocked but happy about some of the changes, like actually bringing ports back, which isn't normally in their reputation. They look excellent too, so I can't wait to see how they do when people start getting their hands on them.

[@James-Purdy]

Surprised you prefer the butterfly layout for arrows. Full height L/R with short U/D keys is generally one of the things everyone complained about with the butterfly keyboard. IMO Inverted T arrow layout IS a "Pro" feature. Keeping the layout the same as a full-size magic keyboard (Pro users tend to buy these for all the keyboard shortcuts mapped to the num-pad and function keys) but shortening it allows "Pro" users to switch from laptop to desktop and maintain muscle memory (more or less) for arrow keys (which "Pros" often use for tweaking and adjusting) while full sized side keys creates a new layout to need to adapt to between machines/setups (even if it is just in clamshell mode docked to a display with a full size keyboard).

Looking forward to your headphone test on these new machines

[@lenn55]

I'm still waiting for the new larger iMacs. Would love to get a new MBP but would then have to buy an expensive 5k display for it and that would break my wallet.

[@DylansDecoded]

The beard game is strong man! Keep up the good work. Love your content brother!

[@anemoneyas]

With the addition of promotion to these new computers, Apple seems to have FINALLY added freesync/gsync support to macOS, so if you're using an external monitor with support, you can get variable refresh rates there as well

[@Schaelpy]

They actually mentioned the laptops they used for the comparison this time!

[@FlyboyHelosim]

Only because they were able to compare to their own products!

[@tipoomaster]

2C-Die and 4C-die sound conspicuously to me like those are going to split into chiplets. M1 Max is already pushing to be as large as the biggest consumer GPUs. 4x that is probably past some interposer size limit.

[@taylorbroad8941]

Compound Clip your a-roll with your lut and you'll never have to worry about the adjustment layer issue ever again. That's what I do now for all my a-roll for my lut and audio adjustments.

[@NeovanGoth]

Yes, the menu bar scales to have the same height as the notch. Also macOS provides the notches dimensions as well as those of the rounded corners (which were already there at the first Mac in 1983!) to apps to allow them to use the extra space at the top appropriately when running in full screen (otherwise they just ignore the extra space on the top). It's actually very similar to how iOS does it since the iPhone X.

[@SleepyPossums]

Out of curiosity, Why don’t you like the inverted T arrow keys? People complained last time that the keys were hard to find tactically because of their old shape.

[@ABarbershopBarber]

He likes inverted T. Just wants them full size like a full external keyboard.

[@chidorirasenganz]

I prefer the older ones with the different sized keys. No need to waste space smh

[@ThaOneBigAndSmallOne]

Same. T shape is the best

[@SleepyPossums]

@@ABarbershopBarber ah, that makes sense but… there’s like no room for that lol

[@ABarbershopBarber]

@@SleepyPossums exactly. Just something to complain about. Other companies have done it with a much larger footprint. So why not apple?!?! /s

17:42 A bit of a colour grading slip up, nevertheless, great video as always!

[@LasstUnsSpielen]

A very interesting side fact about those macbook pros in my country is: When I choose the M1 Max, 64GB RAM and 1 TB SSD there is only a 180€ (200usd) price difference between the 14'' and the 16''.

[@Chompingbits]

Do you think that the M1 Max iMac and Mac Mini will just be press release rollouts? Or are we going to get them along with the Mac Pro and the iMac Pro (I am at least speculating that the bigger iMac is going to keep the Pro moniker)?

[@evan]

This thing just makes me feel like we're living in the future

[@AMGF815]

1080p webcam and can't fit in the bezel as others have been doing for years, that's your idea of the future?!

[@steviegbcool]

That notch makes it look 3 years in the past lol

[@AMGF815]

@@OrvinReyes we’re talking about the total package, as in you know, that thing called a laptop. But hey, you’re more than welcome to speak out with your triggered little self. Good luck with that.

[@kihayu8872]

@@AMGF815 Ok. Please take a look at the solution from other manufacturers. With all of the solutions the webcam quality is either really poor, or the solution is not great (looking at you Huawei, LG and Dell). Does the notch look good? No. Would I also want a better solution? Yes. But if you consider that you can more or less hide the notch with dark elements + maybe Apps in Fullscreen don’t go around the notch, you really won’t notice it that much. I don’t like that people call these MacBooks „not good“ because of that thing because everything else is miles ahead of Windows and Linux Laptops

[@DJTechYT]

@@AMGF815 classic cherry picking. The webcam is only a tiny tiny part of a laptop as a whole.

[@JustinGladden]

Love it! Great video and can't wait for the reviews. Love that you got this out so fast you forgot to get that color correction to the end.

[@CescoCDN]

Great overview. Thanks, Quinn. What happened at the 17:42 mark with the colour fading? Thought you were readying some sort of trick after the thunderous wallet drop ;)

Finally someone who got the design reference! I also agree this is very inspired in the first versions of the macbook pro, maybe even some of the powerbooks

[@turnerhayes5303]

Awesome coverage. Bangin' outro music

[@utubekullanicisi]

Another fun fact: That monstrous future Mac Pro chip with 4x M1 Max would also have 228 billion transistors.

[@citywitt3202]

Fun fact, that is over 1000 times more transistors than the chip in the top of the line Core Duos in 2006

[@Sasoon2006]

Well, Elon Musk has 1$ for each of those transistors 😂

[@saikiranj807]

it's kinda cheating if that number includes gpu

[@KentoCommenT]

Obviously called the M1 Pro Max

[@utubekullanicisi]

@@saikiranj807 What? It's not cheating at all, if it's clarified that it's a system on a chip. It's just a more beefy system on a chip than any other SoC out there.

[@jacksonisawesome]

the one thing I can't stop thinking about with this MacBook is the feeling that applications can only get so optimized, they can only go so fast, and I don't want to reach that ceiling with the MacBook Pro

[@djsieker]

I'm not sure where to request this, but could you make a series of videos giving a primer for budding audiophiles?

[@timhussey]

whooops your color-grading went missing at the end 🤣🎉

[@obiromaniankenobi1136]

I don't get the stupid remarks about the notch XD You have your Taskbar up there anyway. Either they had to have a bigger bezel or just leave it completely. Personally id rather have more space up there for the taskbar and have a notch, than have the taskbar be part of the full screen. I also rarely use "fullscreen" on programs which hide the taskbar.

[@siinxkj]

ima have to agree with this, I never liked using full screen on full desktop os’. im unsure why, it just seems weird to me like do you not like the wallpaper that you chose?

[@edsilvester]

I’m constantly amazed at the sound image from my laptop. Your head does need to be in “the zone” but … wow. I expect these speakers to be remarkable. I’ll let them have the theatre sound claim until I hear otherwise.

[@woogaloo]

My 2012 MacBook Pro unibody welcomes this 2021 MBP style! I'm really excited to see the comparisons with the new chips. During the event I kinda felt bad for the folks who bought Mac Pros when they kept saying "this blows the Mac Pro with afterburner away".

[@aditjindal]

17:42 Ah yes, raw

[@ericdraven7857]

Best coverage from what I’ve seen so far is probably Max Tech. He ordered nearly if not all configs.

[@ChrisLeiter]

Ordered a 16" M1 Max w/64GB RAM and 2TB - extremely excited! I ordered a 2020 M1 MBP to test over the last year to see if it could run my company's software in parallels (and it does, but until recently the Windows 10 image was pretty slow, now Windows 11 is WAY faster), and to hopefully replace my 2018 MBP 15" which is a mid-level model. And it came close. But the Windows 10 ARM issues didn't let me fully move over. Now, with Windows 11 and the M1 Max performance, it should be WAY more than enough to successfully move to ARM and leave the Intel MBP to pick up any potential slack until everything is adopted to Apple Silicon.

[@josephdickerson3212]

Great video, I noticed the color of the video changed at the end. I'm looking forward to getting one of these new MacBook pros

I haven't upgraded since 2011, mostly because I wanted a bigger screen and the 17in was a powerhouse for me for ages. It's finally beyond use at this point for me and I've been suffering with michaelsoft binbows for the last 3 years. I've been waiting... and saving. Finally this one was like okay. I think it's time. It took a huge hit on my wallet but I feel like this will be a decent successor to my old workhorse from 2011. I hope it's worth it or I'll return it after testing and wait longer.
