The SHOCKING Truth About the NEW M4 MacBook Pro (Is It Worth It?) | Tony's Top Picks

[@TechXSoftware]

I just have the old vintage M3 Pro MacBook Pro 16"

[@TonysTopPicks]

Oh yea that’s a super old laptop. Surprised it’s still working for ya ;)

Dude...great video. So grounded and relatable. Subbed for more.

[@parimalbalankhe]

Cool video man! A very fresh approach to the review 🔥

[@hopetonirwin7633]

I got the 16in macbook pro for video editing and photo editing. It's amazing...it flys... no regrets switching from windows

[@cheesychelsea3263]

Man where were these reviews when I was looking for a new laptop!

[@arty712]

What did you end up going with?

[@camkeena6874]

i'm a little confused because you keep switching the terms. The m4 pro chip is the one with the 12 core cpu and the 14 core gpu like you said but it comes with a minimum of 24gb of ram instead of the 16gb you claim to have in yours. You keep using the terms m4 and m4 pro interchangeably can you tell me which one in particular you featured in this video?

[@TonysTopPicks]

Good question, I’m referring to the Base Model $1600 MacBook Pro. Not the MacBook Pro M4 Pro chip. I’ll add it to my description so future viewers can know the one I’m talking about. Thanks for the feedback 🤙🏼

Konnichiwa from Japan! Dope review mate. Did you notice any fan noise while editing in FCP?

[@TonysTopPicks]

Going to be honest here, I did not notice them turn on. But I do edit with Noise cancelling headphones on to stay focused. I’ll get back to you today on this when I get back from work.

[@tangoprojex]

@@TonysTopPicks I went to my local Apple store today to check out the 14" & 16" MBPs...I almost have my mind set on the 14" but I'm conflicted because I've seen reviews that the 16" fan is quieter and that the 14" fans tend to ramp up faster/louder..but those were during the benchmark tests. I'd like to know how they do during FCP editing. Looking forward to the result!

[@Aaron_Bleu]

Great video man thanks. I was torn between 14 or 16 inch and decided to go 14 so it’s less cumbersome. Can’t wait to get it in

[@TonysTopPicks]

Hope you enjoy it!

I have a 16’’ M3 Pro and always had 15’’ and 16’’. I would strongly suggest to anyone working on the laptop outside plugging it to an external monitor, to go with the 16’’. It’s wayyyyy more confortable, especially for multitasking and working on excel, etc. Yes it’s bigger and a bit heavier, but it’s not like the 14’’ is a light laptop either :-) It sill a working tool and choice should be made to suit the user needs prior to a matter to gain a bit of weight and size. I’ve never encountered any problem to work on the train or at least an hour in the car everyday when my wife is driving. Not to mention, when I want to work outside or in the living room. And when it’s on my knees in the couch, I don’t have to close my legs like I would with the 14’’. Don’t give me wrong, I love the 14’’ and I am about to order one for my event company, but for everyday work use, I’ll go with my 16’’ for sure !

[@TonysTopPicks]

@@DidierWolfs I have it the MacBook connected to a ultrawide monitor for when I do my edits, but I plan on doing a video on the iPad as a screen mirror. Saw an Amazon product that lets u attach it to your MacBook like MagSafe, I think that would be a fun idea to explore for sure.

[@DidierWolfs]

@@TonysTopPicks Certainly, but that becomes bulky to have the laptop + ipad at a café or in the car :-) I also have 49’’ Samsung monitors (1 at my office and 1 at my home office) :p

[@erickhj95]

Please tell us the case you are using . Cool vid

[@tc102167]

Wopping 16gb of ram? Is this 2010? ;)

[@zulainnyperez975]

I don’t understand half of the computer terminology, but I’m ready to buy one. Looks like a great investment!!! Thank you!!

[@TonysTopPicks]

Happy to help!

[@_m3kh170]

What case do you got?

[@TonysTopPicks]

@@_m3kh170 it’s on amazon, here’s the details below. BlueSwan Anti-Cracking Hard Shell Case Compatible with MacBook Pro 14-inch 2024-2021 Release M4 M3 M2 M1, Anti-Fingerprint Soft TPU Bumper with Keyboard Cover, Frosted Black

[@darkredwine]

Can you Edit 8k Videos with the M4 Pro?

[@TonysTopPicks]

Yes you can. Only thing I recommend is doing it on clips of 5 minutes or less. I noticed it tends to start heating up after the 2 minute rendering mark.

[@Heavenamk]

I settled my internal conflict. I end up buying Legion 7i i9 14th gen RTX 4070 and MacBook Pro M4 16 Pro chip. I do research and other productivities as a scientist/chemist and I game occasionally on my leisure time. I could not let my mind commit to one OS. However, my Lenovo 7i outshines my M4 in several benchmarks but the battery life of M4 is fantastic and I love the screen especially for streaming movies on the M4. I carry around my M4 to work but when I go home I use my Lenovo.

[@mihaipredut6977]

I like what you, keep going

[@TeiuAl]

16 GB of RAM was whopping 8 years ago

[@latinreuben]

Nice to have high tech gear but u treat your body like crap eating p&b & lattes...body is our temple.... health B4 materialistic things.

[@dough.9241]

The Tesla acquisition paved the way for the need to have PB&J for lunch, no doubt.
