Thank you so much! After watching so many videos I absolutely found this one to be my favorite. Great video!!!

[@deannaford357]

Thanks for the update! I was afraid you'd say it was time to upgrade to an M2 or M3....but you still have and love your M1. Phew! I say that because I'm looking at upgrading from a 2014 MBP to a gently used M1 Pro 16 GB 512GB. This video (and I watched your other 2 that I found about this computer ) have helped me to lock in my decision to buy the one I have my eye on! So again, thank you!

[@armshah9156]

I've just got myself a M1 Max with 64gb and 1Tb ssd few days back for a far cheaper price. I'm talking about 50% cheaper with only 30 of cycle count! Coming from a full specs i9 2019 MBPro..this is a BEAST! I'm telling ya, it's gonna to stay with me for years!

[@evanwalker3513]

Did you get the 14 or 16 inch? I’m ready to grab the same laptop but the only one I can find with 64gb of RAM is the 14”

[@armshah9156]

I've got the 16inch.@@evanwalker3513

Where to buy a Brandnew MacBook pro m2 pro in 2024?

[@OscarCloud]

Just got one of these bad boys for a new job- compliments my m1 imac very nicely for when im on the go and is a total joy to use

[@KESP35]

Just a question, how does the M1 imac handle video editing? Really thinking of getting one but the 8GB of RAM is really off putting, is it somethting you would recommend? Mainly want it because of macOS, cannot stand windows. Would really appreciate any help/ advice! :)

[@OscarCloud]

@@KESP35 can’t speak on the 8gb model but both my m1 Mac’s are 16gb ram and video editing is a breeze. I mainly use proxies anyway for my footage, but have never had rendering issues, software crashes or anything like that

[@KESP35]

@@OscarCloud thankyou!!

[@fivemakeshistory7774]

Great video! I just got my first MacBook 14“ M3 Pro 18 G 512 SSD Space Black and i am amazed.I have a small KZbin channel and this MacBook will help me a lot!

[@eddiekytia]

I'm looking to learn photo and video editing and came across your channel and I did subscribe. So they don't sell the laptop new in this video and want to know if the next generation m2 pro is just as good. I don't know about computers and don't know if just because the MacBook Pro m2 Pro is newer that it is better.... worse.... or the same..... thanks for your help

[@erre_gomez]

Gracias

[@hunndredshotsfilms4829]

It’s true about the Intel and the M1 Pro comparison. Night and day. I-9 MacBook Pro kicks the fans on the moment it turns on, and I’m exporting our final cut. Good luck, even watching a video. The M1 Pro, I purposely open every single application. I have on while exporting to see if I can cause the fence to go off, till this day, i have not been able too

[@TrevorDennis100]

But what if you were buying your first Mac Book? I am a life-long Windows user and have not had a laptop for years. I need a laptop now, and was looking at the MS Surface Studio to travel with, but discovered that Mac Book Pro was 30% lighter with double the battery life, so I am seriously considering switching camps - but only for the laptop. I hadn't thought about a refurbished MBP, so that's something to look into thank you. If I do get a new laptop, would the M3 Pro be a good fit? I have a full Creative Cloud subscription and mostly use Photoshop and Premiere Pro. Will a Mac integrate with my Windows 11 desktop? It's all very new to me, and I feel like there's a lot to learn.

[@josiahaviles3319]

May you do an updated version of this … or what you believe is the closest best thing to this MacBook in your video

[@TheRealBlokBoiOso]

Am I able to edit 4k and 6k videos on it??

[@patrickhussain7163]

haha, loving the Premiere burn. (Unfortunately, I have to use that). Do you edit natively largely on the 14" screen? I find I have to use my laptop screen as base/control centre and a larger (28") monitor as work space @home. Seduced by the M3 Max but that seems optimised for 16.

[@ScottEdwards]

I edit on a 32” external most of the time

[@andre7184]

Do you think that 24 Ram on the M3 base M3 model is worth it to edit video 4k or 8k or sticking to 16 RAM is better, thinking to upgrade my intel MacBook 2016! on budget of course...seems like the m3 pro chip is not such a big difference performance and more expensive. Thanks for your advice

[@solaydbak]

I’m leaning towards the base 16 inch model.

[@anonymous2964]

I have question for fast video editing should I look at the ram or processor. For example should I go with ryzen 5 16 gb ram or Intel I7 8 gb ram?

[@msmarukome]

High core cpu then a decent GPU I heared Intel works better for productivity, ryzen of optimize for gaming, ram is very important as well especially if you're using multiple apps at the same time, and opening few tabs. I recommend 6 core and above cpu, then 16gb ram minimum for video editors

[@73jayzee]

Do you always need to go find your external drive when you want to look at your photos? I have always had my lightroom catalogue on my internal drive but it's getting a bit big now. But i really dont like the idea of always having to find my external drive if I want to look at or edit some pictures.. Whats the best workflow?

[@Riizq53]

Build smart previews

[@bentboi6969]

I have the exact model Mac and it is so slow when I edit in premier pro and after effects. It frustrates me so much 😅 I can’t even watch a playback of my timeline once I have a few effects applied. I definitely need to upgrade computers. For simple editing this unit is solid but when you throw heavy editing at it… not so solid haha

[@ishamps4080]

Can you suggest a better option

[@Hoodadventuresmiami]

What do you suggest?

[@MommyKat2004]

uh, umm 🙋‍♀ I am confused. Did I hear correctly that the M1 Air pro is your main computer that you do everything on? I clicked on "My Main Computer" to take a look. It is not the M1 it is a M2. Please explain. Great video. Kept me engaged.

[@adrianzaharia8885]

There is no M1 Air Pro. He is using a Macbook Pro M 1 Pro base model(512GB ssd and 16GB DDR).

[@filterfreephotography]

I have the same model except with the 1TB drive. I wish I got the 32GB model. I find the RAM gets eaten up with Lightroom. There are times when Lightroom Classic 13 alone is running 13-15GB of RAM and I have another 10-13GB of swap being used. I'm actually considering a refurbished M1 Max w/ 64GB since it is $1000 less than the M3 Max with only 36GB memory.

[@georgiekerrigan9996]

So I’m confused. Should I get a 32gb a 64gb. Why would I care about ssd when a 2tb external is cheaper than the upgrade coming internally in the laptop. Also what is actually needed for video editing 32gb not enough?

[@solaydbak]

@@georgiekerrigan999632gb of ram is good for photo editing. 512 storage is fine if you’re using a external ssd.

[@keylowboyz2132]

⁠@@anonymous2964i seen people commenting about 32 ram is minimum is you edit videos i am not sure but i will certainly get my first video editing laptop with minimum of 32 gbs of ram or maybe 40 gigabytes of RAM since i want to video edit alot

[@eddiekytia]

SO.... I know Scott is busy but if anyone can help it will be appreciated. I'm now retired and taking up photography and light video. I've never owned Apple and very new to computers. I'd like a laptop for video and photography editing that will last 3 or 4 years. Does anyone know if the Apple 2023 MacBook Pro M2 Pro with 10‑core CPU and 16‑core GPU: and16GB Unified Memory, would be good to grow into or should I be looking into m2 max, m3, m3 pro. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

How many gigs of RAM do you have on your M1?

16

Battery is good. Obviously uses more when photo/video editing

But MacBooks expire after 5 years. There is no way to adapt to latest software. What’s the point in spending so much!

I have a M1 Max and I dont even think about upgrading. This machine eats everything I put on it. I think people who want to upgrade from an Intel machine should look for an used M1 and save some serious money.
