I've owned the M1 Pro with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage for a year and as a video editor, I can't believe how good these chips are. I just got done editing 4K BRAW footage in Final Cut and coloring in Davinci Resolve and it was blazing fast. I can see the benefits from the Max line of chips, but for what I do on a regular basis, the M1 Pro does it all. If you're an editor you're probably using proxies anyways, but this thing can handle BRAW without any issue. Exporting a ProRes 422 4K 10 minute-long fully colorized with a ton of nodes from Resolve took like 20 minutes. The fans didn't even start up. My only regret is I should've gotten the 32 GB of RAM!

[@Bsus4films]

That is so good to hear. I'm a film editing student, and I work with in and out of school, as an editor or DIT. So I need a good laptop, and I just bought the 14" MacBook Pro M2. Good to hear it'll be able to do demanding stuff with ease. I regularly work with 4K+ raw/log footage, hefty sound editing, colour correction and grading, VFX and other similar film industry post-production tasks. Thanks

[@MattCassCook]

What problems did you have problems with the 16gb RAM?

[@astraliteofficial]

32 GB ram upgrade is insanely expensive though, I was considering whether I should upgrade to 1TB SSD or 32 GB ram as I'm a music producer and I work with huge projects but the 32 GB ram is insanely insanely overpriced. if the 32 gb ram upgrade was priced similarly to 1tb SSD I would've gone for the ram upgrade as for the storage you can always use external, but no choice when it comes to ram.

I've seen a whole bunch of videos about MacBook Pro and you are really the first who recommend buying 32+ gigs or even choose more cores, you are amazing. I really felt bad because of those youtubers who make their videos just to check the mark in their schedule. Everybody was saying "i bought the basic config and this mac is amazing" but no one has ever said that to make some staff like video editing, or photoshop, or some work with 3d, or even programming but using something like Docker, running heavy applications you need to have more than 16 gigs of UNIFIED memory(that is a key really) and at least 1tb for ssd

[@devashishpatwardhan3]

I’m a tech enthusiast. I used the M1 Pro MBP 14” for a year. I wasn’t happy with the sharp corners. While typing, it would dig into my wrist & it became a really big problem for me, so I moved to the M2 Air. I’ve been really happy. The display difference didnt bother me at all. 120Hz isn’t really a big thing in laptops I feel. All I miss are the speakers. I love the Air’s thinness and the lightness and also the battery!

[@ionutmititelu2083]

Hi @devashish , i plan the same to buy it. What is your experience with him about heating problem??? Some people say is getting hot alot when video edit or coding. Any problems about heating???

[@devashishpatwardhan3]

@@ionutmititelu2083 hey! So I don’t use it for video editing but I do use it for Blender 3D. When I’m doing very graphics intensive work, it does struggle but it’s still very much useable. I’d say, if you’re worried about heat, get yourself a cooling pad. It’s definitely not as powerful as the M1/M2 pro chips but it’s still quite powerful. If your work isn’t very heavy, you’ll be more than happy! I love the form factor so much!

[@devashishpatwardhan3]

@@ionutmititelu2083 the main reason why I moved back to the Air (M2 in my case) was because I really didn’t like the bulk of the 14” pro. Even the battery life of the M2 Air is better than the 14”. More than anything else, the 14” had sharp edges which were higher from the surface, compared to the M2 Air so my left wrist would get red because the edge would dig into my wrist. I had to adjust my wrist all the time. With the Air, this issue is not there at all!

[@howardm5759]

Just picked up the MBP 14" 16GB RAM 512 SSD 10CPU 16GPU. I mainly do moderate 4k video editing/photoshop occasionally - image processing. Probably didn't Need this much power but I bought the base M2 Air and knew it wasn't going to cut it so I found this one on a tight sale New and grabbed it.

I was at the same spot the past months. I got the 16" M1 Pro MBP in early 2022. In January of this year, I started to get back into programming, and it was nagging at me. I saw them in the refurbished store and this weekend I had a friend tell me he wanted to purchase a 16" MacBook Pro but did not have the money to spent CAD $3200, and so we started talking about mine. I write mine off in about 24 - 28 months so that I have some to spare in the run-up to the third full year. It made sense to sell him mine. Sold it to him, and he picked it up today. I turned around and ordered the 14" MAX 32Gb, as in the refurbished store we don't get to specify the upgrades as in the normal store. I need the 32Gb, the rest if gravy. For a brief moment I considered the 15" and even looked at the 16" again, but the refurbished store just did not have the right systems. I paid for rush shipping, and it could be here as early as tomorrow.

For what I do, the M1 MBA is perfect and I love it. But sitting on the balcony, I wish the display could be brighter than 400 nits. The 14 M2 Pro has the ability to 1.600 nits (imitate HDR). That’s amazing. I would like to have this too.

Hey, I initially placed an order for a 15 inch MacBook Air M2 with 16Ram and one terabyte…. But then realized for a couple hundred dollars more I can just get the M2 14 inch MacBook Pro. Or just get 512GB SSD 14 Pro for a decent price. My only gripe is I usually don’t connect to an external display and was wondering if 14 inches is big enough because I really don’t want to spend so much money on the 16 inch pro. Apple really needs to release an affordable external monitor that doesn’t cost $1500.

[@glennsan1998]

I loved your video. I actually am torn between the 14 inch MacBook Pro max and the 16 inch MacBook Pro. I was planning on getting 32 gig of RAM like you mentioned so that does kind of lean me towards the max but I do love the real estate as you mentioned and I do intend to be traveling, doing video work in the future. Decisions,decisions, decisions.

[@blackmamba6938]

Why would you spend $400 on an upgrade that will give you marginally better results? By the time 16GB is not enough, it will be time to buy a new Macbook and 32GB will be the standard of the lowest model and you'll have an extra $400 in your pocket that can go towards your new Macbook. It's honestly an upgrade that makes no sense for most people.

[@DeepfriedBaby]

I'll counter with the situation where you're constantly running out of memory and needing to reload apps, and would give a left toe to alleviate you of that frustration. Peace of mind, was worth it to me to load it up on ram.

[@blackmamba6938]

If you watch any KZbin video that compares the side by side 16 vs 32gb, that basically never happens even if you were to load up 1000 chrome tabs. And there is no speed difference at all except in very rare circumstances that most people will never be able to achieve.

@@iGhostr the only way you would know if the RAM made any difference in speed is if you do a side by side comparison. It has already been tested on KZbin if you search 16gb vs. 32gb. In 99% of cases, the extra RAM makes no difference. Even if you have 20 chrome tabs open with videos playing in the background.

The difference between the M2 screen and the M1 one is actually pretty big! i upgraded for this reason (and some added speed). The old one hadd a 40ms GtG time, so like 25 fps.

Very good video. I went through a lot of this thinking when going for the M1 Pro 14". I ended on that because I could not accept the 8gb and 256 gb in the 2020s. I'm very thankful I did, because to my usage it's still performing like a dream. I could see the same thing happen on a larger scale if you're a media creator with lots of high resolution work flows like you eloquently explained in this video. Personally I am still satisfied with my computer. The screen, speakers, ports and microphone are very good. You didn't mention the microphone, but it's a very usable "studio mic".

[@rc2257]

Now that you've had the 15" MBA for two weeks, do you feel any differently about the 14" MBP? In that new video, you sound really excited about the 15" MBA. Of course, there's a very specific audience for whom the power of the MBP is quite important, and they are probably most of the folks watching this very thoughtfully done and informative video. But then there's another category of folks, who don't really need the power of the MBP but do need 16gb RAM and 512gb SSD and want a screen bigger than 13". Configured like this, the 15" MBA is $1700, just $300 less than base model 14" MBP which has the same amount of RAM and SSD. The real-world price gap is usually smaller, because the base 14" is often available for $1750 or thereabouts. Judging by this video and your just-released 2-week 15" MBA video, it's hard to tell which Macbook you're more excited about, or which you think would be better for someone in this category. Happy to be your newest subscriber! (at least for a few seconds until someone else subscribes ;)

I ask because I have warranty extension on my MacBook for 2 years vs 1 and it would be nice to get a replacement battery at the 2 year mark.

[@blackmamba6938]

Honestly Tarren, I highly doubt the RAM bottlenecked you in anyway based on how you claim to use it and it really is just your perception of using a laptop that has a better CPU that you noticed any boost in performance. There are very few cases where more RAM makes any difference in speed as shown by tests done various KZbinrs online. Even if you open a million chrome tabs, have videos playing in the background, exporting multiple files in lightroom, it makes no difference to the speed. There are only very specific use cases where it does make a difference and yours is not one of them.

Not sure if you made your decision by now but I would go for the 16" just because the ssd is actually faster than the base m2 pro's model. The power difference shouldn't be too big and you also get more storage.

​@andy5434 Agreed, but with the caveat that if portability is a factor, the 14" MBP makes much more sense than a 16" model. I'm not a wimp, but the 16" MBP is considerably heavier and more cumbersome.

I would be interested in an honest comparison of SSD file transfer speeds, and from external TB4

How is the matte finish on the keys holding up? My 2021 14" is already more worn than my 2015 15" Retina. Both are daily drivers and I write code so I do type a lot... Just wondering if it's certain models or they improved the keys on the M2 models... #imadeit

I've got a spec'd out 16.2" M1 Max with 64 GB RAM but opted 512gb SSD coz I have like a bazzilion 1-2TB external SSD's for all my video editing off of them. Never really use more than 200GB on my internal SSD.. Although I see myself getting a 1 or 2 TB ssd next time I upgrade, in like 4 years minimum.

great review

[@enriquelsanchez]

What about external memory wouldn’t that be an advantage for you?

[@negkoray]

No. Some of us want a bigger display everytime we open that sh** 😂

I found the NEW base M2 pro for €200 more than the refurbished m1 pro 8-core and the same price of 10-core (a bargain!). I was coming from an intel 2017, so I had to choose between m1 pro and m2 pro. I was initially influenced by the various negative reviews, then I realized that which made no sense to me. The slower SSD compared to the previous model is not a tragedy, both because it is still very fast and responsive, and because the faster speed of the previous model would ONLY be noticed if you transferring a very huge amounts of data to an external SSD (or from an external SSD) that is faster than the internal SSD... which NEVER happens! On the other hand, performances has definitely improved. I did a final cut export test using m1 pro 14" 10 core and m2 14" 10 core. One hour and 36 minutes of video, 4K prores: masks and various effects applied (filmconvert, luts...). Export completed about 40 minutes with m1 pro (very good result) and 26 minutes with m2 pro (amazing result)! Honestly, I don't know why this huge difference, but this was the result (maybe they improved the performance of the m2 chip even more with the updates?). For me nothing else is needed. The rest is just the bulls**t.

I agree 100%

What about gaming??

[@BenGodot]

What specs do you recommend for intense 3d rendering, simulation and CAD with the 14"?

[@AmbercoolPhotography]

I think the mistake was that you were using your MacBook as a workstation most of the time it seems. If you didn't know that, then you made the right choice with the M1 Pro spec. If you knew that you would use the M1 Pro as mostly a workstation, then you definitely should have spec'd higher. Or even get a Mac Studio.

What is the bag/case you’re using for the mac?
