YOU Should Buy the M3 Max MacBook Pro 16, And Here's Why!

[@DustinCasler]

Do you have any regrets about not upping the RAM? I’m on the fence about getting that same model or getting it with 64GB of Ram and maybe 2TB. I think even though the RAM upgrade is relatively inexpensive, even 48GB could be overkill for me.

[@nickwind2584]

I initially got the 36gb model of the M3 Max but ended up upgrading to get the higher memory. It’s an incredible laptop that provides things I never thought were possible. There is just no more waiting on anything, the ability to actually use it on my lap and for 20+ hours are all game changers. Expensive but dare I say that it is worth it.

@@protect-chickens-c50 it’s probably not, look up how macOS uses memory and you will understand my point. To make it simple, it uses as much as it can in order to make your tasks fast responsive and efficient. Whenever it needs more for your current task, it will free memory some place else. It’s actually really well optimized

Great insight! I currently have an M1 Max // 64GB for work, an M2 Max // 32GB for personal use and an M2 Air for Travel. All these machines are AMAZING for work. Mind you, I do have a Windows gaming rig, so all my gaming is done there. My M1 Max stays docked 24/7 for work and I have never had any issue with it. It's a Multitasking BEAST. My M2 Max has been super stable also and it works really well with all my emulators and such. Looking forward to testing some of these M3 Pro's and Max that we get for some of our employees. I might upgrade if it's worth the jump from my M1 Max.

[@roguewavecreative]

I was fortunate about 3 months ago to get a new m1 max with 64gb memory. I have tried the upgraded models and unless you are starting the space shuttle. The m1 max was 2299 as Adorama was running a great deal. In my world which is graphic design, some animation and video editing and it is really good. Yes, the m3 is faster but for what I do the difference is not that big. With the m3 I think apple has made a conscience choice to make the max the true beast. The others are almost slower than the m2 which is weird but it seems like an apple marketing thingie. In the end you need to take what you do and base it on that and not benchmarks. If it works then it works.

[@Venom-NYC]

@@roguewavecreative This all makes sense. My use-case is IT related, so mostly multitasking and System Admin stuff. I definitely love my M1 Max with 64GB of RAM. I think ima stick it out until the AppleCare is up and then consider upgrading.

[@DaveDFX]

I got 16" M3Max 16Cpu 40GPU 48GB ram black. I also got 14" M1pro 16Gb. If you don't do 3d work or tasks that uses a GPU, I would not recommend this. Basic video editing and rendering won't take advantage of the GPU and the hardware encoders are the same since the M1 series so if you use hardware rendering, you will only get a few seconds difference. M2 Max on sale would be a great deal.

I had a M1 Max 16 and loved it, but it was just too big for my use. It rarely left my desk. It was a beautiful machine and I see the appeal. Currently rocking the M3 Pro MBP 14' and really loving it. Easier to work with in my 4 wheeled office and in and out of accounts all day plus it handles the video and photo editing I do just fine, even with the base 18 GB of RAM.

I made the move to the same processor 14-core M3 Max but in the smaller 14” for factor. I splurged and upgraded to 96GB of RAM! Guess I’ll never use any swap and my 2TB SSD will last forever 😂

[@bdehora]

Binned at 96GB feels like a smart choice. The full core model's arrangement of cpu/gpu/ram/bandwidth is kind of beautiful. But as good as 64GB sounds today (which is roughly the same price point as the 14core/96GB, whereas its 128GB upgrade means a new price bracket) RAM seems to be the wise thing to future-proof. External storage can be solved for later (sounds looks like you're already in a good place there 🙂) and it will be a while before applications really pressure the cpu/gpu for either of these maxes. But RAM? That always seems to be the thing that gets eaten up first.

Even something as simple as opening Mission Control was noticeably quicker. It also feels brighter but somehow not in a way that hurt my eyes. Still bombed the exam but the laptop did WERK. Of course, can’t say it’ll be noticeable for people who have one of the newer ones, but I highly recommend

[@platonaspapadatos6393]

I purchased the exact same configuration a couple of weeks ago (14cpu, 30gpu, 36Ram) and moved from my 2019 15" intel and oh ma goood...that decision was life changing. Until now literally nothing to complain...I've forgotten how the fans sound, the heat is the minimum you could get on a laptop and most of the time the machine runs totally cool especially with simple everyday use (something was not happening with my intel mbp) and the power is insane, even though i have not even managed to stretch its limits enough yet! I am only wondering what will be like in long term..for example in 2-3 years

[@Darragh1]

Just on the two to the three years part, I bought a Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 2 on Black Friday in 2020... It had 64GBs of RAM and an i9-9880H. The RAM was DDR4 and we're now DDR5 and the i9 now would be only about as a regular M2 chip, this is 3 years.... Tech outdates fast. To flip that argument, I've only had 1 Macbook Pro which was a 2011 15" (Late Oct) Quad Core, 16Gbs and it lasted me until 2018. (Albeit the graphics card failed twice.) That's 7 years... So I would expect these new Macbooks to last at least 10 years.

[@KevinFuggi]

Cool but the big question is how has this machine changed your workflow compared to the M1 Max? Based on what I’ve seen, not too much. Can’t see a reason why anyone with a M series chip should upgrade other than if they messed up with their SSD or RAM spec. I have an M1 Pro 10/16 32GB RAM 1TB SSD and the M3 chipset still doesn’t give me the least bit of temptation in wanting to upgrade.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

For any professional creative upgrading will be a massive bump in productivity. I'll be jumping from M1 Max 64GB to M3 Max 128GB. The jump from 64 to 128GB is massive for people using Adobe products like After Effects.

[@KevinFuggi]

@BrokenandCoastal For your line of work, the upgrade makes sense. For people mostly just making videos for KZbin like here, there's not enough difference in workflow to justify getting rid of an M1 Max machine for M3 - even for gaming.

[@BrokenandCoastal]

Your completely right. Upgrade is worth it for data science, animation, 3d design, but most everyone else will be stoked with any of the M series laptops. There so good!@@KevinFuggi

[@KevinFuggi]

@BrokenandCoastal I bet having that much power in a relatively quiet and efficient machine has to be transformative to those that can fully utilize it

[@sandgaijin]

I’ve got my M1 Max and have loved this thing. I’m thinking to upgrade to m3 max, not because I need it but because there’s still trade in value worth upgrading while there’s still value. I have an older iPad that has a trade in value worth “free recycling”. So I’d like to get it before then. 😅

[@erec707]

Here is a fun/useful app to have on a 16" M3 Max or any 16" MacBook. It is called "Magnet". It cost around $5 USD, and it allows you to split your screen in any size. I love having it as a back up when I need my windows open and active at the same time. It basically does what a windows laptop does when snapping windows to the corners. Anyway, having that app with this M3 Max machine just continues to show me the power it holds. Whether that's on battery or plugged in. Consistency at its finest!

I’m taking that title personally and am getting mine. I don’t care how expensive it is, I’ve had my m1 MacBook Air since launch, I’ve loved it but it’s time for a performance and screen and size upgrade

[@DojoOfCool]

For once I agree will everything you said. I did recently get a refurbished M1 Max 14" Macbook Pro and it is great except..... I found I was using it instead of my 27" iMac for music project and I really wanted more screen real estate than the 14". Until you actually see the screen and hear the sound of the MacBook Pro it hard to understand just how great they are. I even stopped using my TV and watch on my MacBook Pro and with AirPod Pro II it is a great experience. So now considered upgrading to the 16" MacBook Pro M-3 Max.

[@mrdextrous355]

I too experience that myself. I currently use the m1 pro 16inch and when I use my airpods pro gen 2 the sound is incredible and the integration is seamless

[@matt_kelly]

The quietness is real. I recently bought an M2 Max Studio for a workstation and I used it as my personal machine now, no more Windows. Occasionally I need to move over to my old gaming workstation and as soon as I hit the power button the fans come on and every fan profile is loud - or at least it seems to be compared to the utter silence of the Mac.

[@epiphanyvideomarketing7541]

Just bought the MacBook Pro laptop (16-inch) - Apple M3 Max chip, 16-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 48GB memory, 1TB SSD ... super expensive, but I'm a motion designer, so it's much-needed power. Thanks for the review.

Hey Everyday Dad, Just finished watching your video and I must say, it was fantastic! I read on Notebookcheck about its slow display response time(70ms), potentially affecting fast-paced content like movies or games. Have you had such problems with your mac? Keep up the great work! Thanks!

[@KeepCalmNCodeOn]

I got the (unbinned) M3 Max MBP 16", and while I realize it's overkill, there's nothing more annoying than a laptop getting hot and its fans running. I have a Lenovo and that thing gets slow just doing Zoom calls over Chrome. So far the only way I could get the fans running on the M3 Max during real world use was while running an LLM model on CPU-only. When running it on CPU/GPU then the fans don't ever start.

[@ParadiceAlo]

I am long time windows user and I really needed an reliable and safe laptop so I bought 16 inch M3 pro 12(6e+6p) 36 Gb, I was having anxiety for the max being too fast and the ssd controller issue and also thermals, already few months earlier one of my open ssd got burned and I lost the data. I just care about the big bright display, audio drivers, battery life for a safe personal device. Because of safety concerns even if I had M3 max 16cpu, 40gpu I will not use that for any thing heavy, all the so much performance would have been wasted. for 3d ar vr stuff I will get mac studio later. As a safe device air could have been a better choice maybe but with 16 inch display and better audio I timidly hope that it will be fine.

[@bdehora]

Thanks for this. Great to see a post from someone who paid for and is using the M3 max as an everyday tool, and not just about ootb benchmarks. I feel like the 16" (binned or full) hits this sweet spot where you can use it for pretty much anything, by itself. As well as most workloads be it content, rendering, gaming, coding, or a zillion open browser tabs, it also looks future proof for all the ai agents we're going to see embedded into everything over the next few years that will be gpu, memory and bandwidth intensive. Sure, 16" is big but it can mean some folks won't must have that external monitor, so they'll get to reduce total cost. The chassis size has to help with thermals (great to hear the fans aren't spinning up for you). And the battery lifetime you're getting sounds amazing. Pricey and on the large side physically, but I feel like this max generation will give people 3-5 years of headroom before really needing to upgrade. The only question-still happy with silver?

[@therinwhitten]

I do a full dev stack from Unity, Art, animation and rigging (Blender, and Live 2D), Audio work, and writing. It barrels through. I even test games for other project leads using crossover ( I have a ton of games that will sit at around 100FPS at 4K Res) It's nice to have all that power in a small form factor without software breaking all the damn time. So the M3 Max is worth the time saved troubleshooting and forum searching. And it does everything fast. So if you are in windows and think it's ok, just stay there lol. Once you get a Mac that is top notch and realize how many things you do on almost a daily basis just to keep it running right, you will end up very upset with Microsoft. Honestly it's pretty sad too. It's frustration to know that its because Microsoft Devs are taking ALOT of shortcuts, even though you pay for the license. My fans don't even turn on until I am playing an extended game longer than 5 mins. Windows cannot even get close. Idles watching videos or writing at around 42 C with zero fans on. If I was just gaming, I probably would just have a windows gaming rig. When work has to be done, and I need to rely on it, I grab the Mac.

[@TheSAHDLife]

So I made the switch from a Windows PC and bought my first Mac ever (16" M3 Pro with 18gb of ram) to use as my main editing machine. It was great but not flawless for 4k editing without proxies. For science I bought the M3 Max instead with the intention of returning one... and after my testing (which I put on my other channel TheSAHDStudio), the Max blew the doors off the Pro and and I returned it. Now... as much as I love this thing, the price tag for the 16/40 48gb ram has me feeling a little sick to my stomach. I'm wondering just how much worse the M1 Max (with say, 32gb ram) would be vs this M3 Max. I have nothing to compare it to so I'd be curious what you have to say about the M1 Max vs the M3 Max. Would the M1 Max stutter at all during the editing process? Return the M3 Max and pocket THOUSANDS or suck it up and enjoy how amazing it is...

[@brianthomas3354]

Enjoy it and be happy with it. The more you obsess over the idea of it you're wasting valuable time. You have a new computer and it will keep you going for the next 3-4 years at full speed and it will have excellent resale value if you're looking to upgrade.

My MBP 16 inch M3 Max spec'ed with 128GB RAM is getting me through grad school. It's able to run a very specific Llama2 70b fine tuned LLM which provides me with quality verbiage and sentences I would not be able to write myself to get all my assignments done in time without eating into my mental health and sanity. Quality material I'm not able to generate through GPT4.0 and other popular LLM's online, I can get it when I run my preferred fine-tuned open source LLM on my M3 MAX because the LLM itself requires 70+ GB VRAM to even load and there is currently no other consumer grade machine outside for spending $30,000 on NVIDIA A100/H100 actual machine learning rig.

I apologize for this novel, but I need help! Someone help. I am torn between the m3 pro and m3 max (14/30) both with 1TB of storage and both 16 inch models. I am a battery addict, as I’m coming from an Asus ROG strix g15 advantage edition and my usual battery life is around 3-6 hours depending on usage, and if I’m doing any heavy usage or gaming I might as well just keep it plugged in from the moment I turn it on. With that being said, I’m a computer science major, I game every so often (I have a desktop at home if I get the itch), and I may or may not get into some visual/graphic work in school depending on my major requirements and my elective choices. But I keep seeing videos and posts about the insane differences between the max and the pro chip, especially with gaming where the pro chip will sometimes just crash at certain settings and the max chip gets usually 40%+ better FPS, but is that all worth the battery loss? Also, can ANYONE actually tell me how many hours their m3 max 16 inch lasts??? I feel like I can NEVER get a straight forward answer on this. I’m a numbers guy, I want to see how many hours an m3 max lasts comparatively to a m3 pro in similar tasks but I feel like most KZbinrs avoid this comparison.

I found the fan noise on the M3 Max 16 (same configuration as yours) to be too loud for my liking when doing even moderately intensive tasks. It didn't sound that far off my Lenovo gaming laptop under similar conditions. I have been much happier with the 14-inch M3 Pro. While not as outright fast as the Max, it is for all intents and purposes silent while performing the work that I require of it.

Which specs did you get

[@KC-lg8qf]

Have you tried the low power mode?

[@TechGuyB]

Your reviews have always been appreciated, especially since you've also covered the Dell XPS. Glad to see a review based on real world use and not pushing the absolute top specs for benchmarks. Using both Windows and MacOS for work, this is my first MacBook. Especially with holiday deals, the 16" M3 Max 14/30 seems to be the sweet spot as the M3 Pro downgraded components from the M2 Pro. The 16/40 Max models are said to have more fan noise and throttle more easily and are probably overkill for most people anyways.

I have an M1 MBP 14" with a trade in offer for 820... I'm debating on the M3 Pro 14" or 16" Pro which spec'd out would cost roughly the same as the 14" ... wondering how much space it would take up in comparison any input?

[@javascriptes]

Bru I have an M1 Max and is still kicking everything smoothly. I will never go back to Windows at all. No hate for those who can't afford it as of yet. But once you can, give it a shot. You won't regret it.

I need something to run 20 3d printers and a laser with fusion, multiple slicers, and light burn at once. My alien ware can kind of do it. I need serious gpu performance. Going to order one and hopefully it’s worth the tax write off.

[@minemakers3]

you should make the thumbnail the black version so its more recognizable ]

[@PIPERBOYWILLIAMS]

I have it and it doesn’t work well with Final Cut Pro

[@Doobbdkdkdj]

gonna buy this within 15 daysssss so exciteddddddddd eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee🎉

Is AppleCare + worth getting ?

[@dave-eu4vc]

Yes as the machine will be garbage in two years from heating issues.

[@XxsoonerbornxX]

I have a Lenovo Legion 7 pro with 64GB of ram and an RTX 4080. Beautiful 240hz screen. The batterly life makes it unusable. You might get 2.5 hours on battery gaming and the fans are so loud it sounds like a 747 taking off. It's just not even CLOSE to the quality of these machines. I don't touch my $3000 Legion at all unless I am gaming at my desk. That's it. Otherwise I am using the Macbook Pro and if I need something in Windows I just fire up a VM. I've been a WIndows/IT guy for 30 years and I am moving over to these machines full-time. Other than gaming, they are better in ever single way.

Hey, I know this is not related to this video, but I am not sure what tablet to buy! My price range is 600-700 max for EVERYTHING (including pencil/ accessories) I am a stem student in college and I am unsure what to get samsung or ipad for note taking! I have an android, but I am unsure what to buy! Most ppl have ipads. (I like 10in-12in screens)

[@curltotheworld2477]

Im looking at an i pad air or samsung s8. I have a laptop already. Most dual systems can't run procterio very well or things i need for college.

[@Taras-Nabad]

Which keyboard is on your desk, the blue one.

[@murtazachaudhary3339]

Nice video

[@sergiykravchuk]

How much noise does the 16" M3 MacBook Pro make when you load it and when does it start when opening a program or during editing or exporting?

[@jerome7249]

I just changed over to Mac m3 max I’m so accustomed too all the fans constantly running on my windows pc sometimes when I’m editing videos on my Mac I will get up to get something to drink and I realize I can’t hear anything from my Mac i wonder is it running is it actually doing anything then I remember they have little men running around in their with slippers on so we can’t hear them

[@minstrelca]

m3 max like yours but 14 but since I wanted it smaller. I believe it "throttles" in wow in valdrakken sometimes, but I think I fixed it by using mac fans control to ensure the fans come on a bit but sooner. But overall it's amazing :)

[@N3tigen]

Why do lots of people used oldest MacBook but latest iphone

[@ORGANIKNYC]

iPhones are cheaper, nimrod

[@KC-lg8qf]

​@@ORGANIKNYCHonestly because 90% of people dont actually need a mac. The iphone can handle 90% of what they do on a daily. The marjority of people dnt do enough on a computer to justfy replacing it very often. They dont need to upgrade their iphone either....but its always in their pocket, and we want the new shinny thing.

[@ORGANIKNYC]

@@KC-lg8qf “90 percent of people don’t need a Mac” is like saying 90% of people don’t need a computer….Which doesn’t hold any credence. Help me understand what you’re saying

[@odessastepsmag]

The perils of having a Dell laptop for Work. I feel your pain.

[@tong.clement]

Can they make it with carbon fibre. It’s too heavy

[@boganx1291]

Which virsion do you have .I mean specification

[@Bc232klm]

Is this just apple now?

[@brentsmithline3423]

Yes this clip I feel is for content creators, coders, people, and companies that have the need for this type of power. Time is money. This techie normal has more than enough for the normal things I do in my M1 MacBook Air.

[@patjoew]

I found something weird on the macbook pro m3 max while gaming! Atleast for wow. If you keep the max on standard resolution and ingame have 4k the game wont have steady 120fps! But if you put the resolution of the mac on mac resolution and then start the game it will have almost all the time a steady 120 fps! Super weird i dont have other games so can’t test on them

[@patjoew]

Max resolution (problem is that everything will have small icons and text on everything else but ingame for world of warcraft)

[@EnderWang]

I hate the keyboard layout on the 16", other than that, it's more expensive and way heavier than the 14". 😂

[@Stormlywing]

Remember the bigger the PC = Can lower your heat down a bit as the 14 would has tiny less room to let the heat go

[@r6cco567]

Don’t get me wrong I like macs but every average windows laptop with a 4050 gpu breaks the Mac power

[@ya00007]

price?

Why gaming? Macbook air m3 is good for me
