Please make a review of the IdeaPad slim 7 carbon!!
M1 max actually has less battery like badly by 4 hours
What a dedicated content, You literally gave me all the answers about 14″ Macbook
Josh would you recommend the 16″ or 14″ for scientific programming and development? I commute between Uni and home pretty much every day.
Hi Josh, What do you recommend 16GB vs 32GB RAM? I don’t do any video editing but I do run with ALOT of chrome tab open and video files. Thanks!!
Nice video Josh.
Have a request to make, could you review ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED laptop if possible.
Great laptops, but I prefer Windows. More flexible, more hardware choice
Can you watch full screen videos or pictures that includes notch on top?
I disagree about the keyboard tbh. I tried the 14 in at a store and if felt awful? Much worse than even my P1 Gen 4, which is supposedly a downgrade compared to the previous gens.
When you downgraded to the M1 Pro 14″ did you still go for 32GB ram?
My mom is proud of you too! 😆☕😎 …but seriously, after using Windows PC laptops for 30+ years, I switched to Mac, and I’m not looking back. I have the MacBook Pro 16, and it is easily the best laptop I have ever owned! I was initially worried about switching operating systems, but I was pleasantly surprised that I adapted much more quickly than I anticipated. In less than a week I was comfortable, and within a couple of weeks, it was like I had always been using Mac OS.
I did buy a Dell XPS 17 at the same time, and used them both side-by-side for a couple of weeks, to test them out. I love the XPS 17 screen and design! ….but there’s just no comparison. The MacBook out-preformed in every way. The battery life 🔋alone was the biggest selling point. The MacBook lasted up to 3x as long. And runs at “full power” on battery. It renders/exports my video editing projects in half the time. The XPS keyboard is good, but I swear I type twice as fast on the MacBook – LOL 😉
….The speakers are just amazing, as well as the track pad, studio-quality mics, and HD web cam. Now, I know this is crazy, but I use the LAP-top actually ON my lap most of the time! ….No heat, no fan noise (The XPS sounded like a jet airplane when exporting video.) ….As far as the “notch”, I installed a gorgeous purple-dark high-res galaxy background, and I never notice it.
Not to mention the all-around quality! ….and something no one seems to mention is the new M1 MacBooks are actually “designed” to be “LAP-tops” …..There’s no grill on the bottom folks! (Which I was always worried about blocking, as I use my laptops on my lap, and often just sitting on my bed!) …Instead there are air intake slots on the outer edges, and at the screen (just genius). (I returned the XPS 17 to Dell – I really DID want to love it!)
Now I can sit on my patio, laptop on my lap, with a cup of coffee ☕ and work ALL day (unplugged)… 💜 😎 🎉
Gaming is one thing, but for creatives / business users like me, until Windows PC laptops address the heat and fan-noise issues, battery life, design and quality, it’s hard to recommend anything but a MacBook…..
But what about the “Apple Tax”? ….Hate to burst your bubble, but the Dell XPS configured to try to compete was over $500 MORE than the MacBook! …..A Razer Blade would have been even more than that!
Thanks for the great video, as always Josh! 👍🏼😎
I’m on my 4th MacBook Pro 16” M1 Pro replacement. Not at all a fan of this device.
Such a great, factually based, clear-eyed view – well done. I’ve been PC based since the Ark but have swapped over to Apple Silicon, first with an M1 Air which convinced me to buy the MBP Pro 16” on the very first day. Been delighted with it – it’s everything the XPS 15 & 17 should be by now but aren’t.
So, I’ve been thinking about this video since it was released, and unfortunately, I have a few criticisms of it…
Let me start by saying I have nothing against Josh as a reviewer; I like his reviews and I trust him a lot. That being said, nobody is perfect, and I don’t think he gave credit where it was due:
*Anecdote time*
That being said, the model I got, a 14 inch MacBook Pro with 10 core CPU, 32 core GPU, 64 GB of unified memory, and 2 TB of storage, was available for same-day delivery from Apple. Being that my only other non-vintage or obsolete Mac was a 2015 15 inch MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i7, 16 GB of RAM, either 512 or 1 TB of storage, of which the CPU and storage would become a limit if I used it as much as I do my current model. But the worst part was that this was a model without a dGPU (in the case of this model, the AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2 GB of GDDR5 vRAM, which still sounds laughable nowadays), only the Iris Pro 5200 iGPU. That meant that video editing was a nightmare on this machine, and I resorted to using a custom-built desktop with an several different Intel i9 CPUs (the i9-8086K and later the 9900K), 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, many different drives, including a 1 TB NVMe SSD for Windows 10 and three 2 TB HDDs for extra storage, a GTX 1080, later upgraded to (luckily) an ASUS RTX 3080 for most heavy duty tasks.
I planned to get a new laptop eventually, maybe one day a new MacBook Pro with an ACTUAL dGPU, however then Apple released the 2016 MacBook Pro redesign, and I immediately was not happy. As a person who had (at the time) an iPhone 6 and an iPad Air 2 (so I was in the Apple ecosystem, however, not completely, as I had that Windows desktop), I couldn’t stand the 4th generation MacBook Pros. Nothing was upgradable (with the exception of the SSD in the 2016 and 2017 13 inch models with no touch bar and only two Thunderbolt 3 ports, however, it was a proprietary format), the ports were all gone, including MagSafe, the SD card reader, and USB-A (the first two I’m glad to see return on the 2021 models), I absolutely HATED the butterfly keyboard, as it was a nightmare to type on and later turned out to be a faulty mess, and finally for all of those compromises, it was still very expensive for what you got.
I decided to wait to see if Apple fixed any of the issues, because at the time, I had gotten my first Windows laptop in a while and I hoped Apple would eventually fix the issues. But as Apple kept making these iterative changes without fixing any of the fundamental issues, and even as new issues popped up, such as thermal limitations on the 2018 15 inch model, I decided to bite the bullet and get a new laptop. My mom ordered a 2018 15 inch MacBook Pro (she really wanted a 15 inch or bigger laptop) that was fully specced out minus the storage (2 TB instead of 4 TB), as she was coming from a 2008 unibody MacBook Pro and she was actually happy with it until it couldn’t run macOS Sierra.
I also ordered myself a 13 inch 2018 MacBook Pro, but after seeing that the fundamental issues were not fixed on the 2018 models, I decided to return my MacBook Pro without even opening it and go to Windows, which led me first to Alienware, then Acer Predator, and then Asus ROG, none of which were perfect, but as a college student who needed a reliable computer to take to class (I am a computer science student), the MacBook Pro just wasn’t going to cut it anymore. I then got a Samsung phone and left Apple for a few years, as I wasn’t liking the direction they were going.
Then the 16 inch MacBook Pro was released in 2019, and while the keyboard (in my opinion, I know Josh may feel differently) was a MASSIVE improvement, both in terms of key feel and reliability over the 2016 – early 2019 models, it still was too late, as I didn’t see a reason to leave Windows and Android behind, and the port situation was still bad and professional applications were actually worse off than before due to Apple kicking out Nvidia off of macOS and macOS Catalina killing off many apps I needed at the time, making MacBooks a no-go for me.
But then 2021 rolled around, and Android phones became a joke, with the game where which brand could Apple was highly encouraged, even if it meant regressing features from previous years. (Because of this, I recently got an iPhone 13 Pro in early March 2022, leaving both Samsung and Google because they were so much worse than even my S10+ from 2019. Who would have thought Apple would be making my 2021 smartphone of the year? And no, the S21 Ultra doesn’t count.) The pendulum then started to back towards Apple, as they appeared to be returning to form. Next, in 2021 the release of Windows 11 turned out to be a dud, and I was completing my MS in computer science when I remember getting ready to watch the October 2021 Apple event, thinking that the rumored MacBook Pros would simply be a return to form from the 2015 MacBook Pros, nothing more. After all, I was comfortable on Windows, and if need be, I could install Linux and call it a day.
By the end of the event, I was so wowed by the 2021 MacBook Pros, I ordered one for myself, which I am typing this anecdote on. And as somebody who started to get into music production, video editing, and deeper into programming, these new MacBook Pros intrigued me. And I’m happy to say they lived up to the hype!
*End anecdote time*
1. From 1:40 – 1:53, I agree with this statement 100%. As somebody who got the 14 inch 32 core GPU model, I do wish that I could have gotten the 24 core GPU model.
2. At 2:27, you mentioned that the battery life of the 14 inch MacBook Pro “was just bad”. I actually get 8 hours EASILY on the my M1 Max MacBook Pro with 32 GPU cores.
3. At 2:47, you mention that the laptop got “warm to the touch”. Tell me another laptop in its size and weight class with this much power that DOESN’T get warm to the touch. Oh right, *IT DOESN’T EXIST!*
4. At 8:38 I agree 100%. macOS external monitor support is horrible. And I personally do not like macOS anymore. It feels like a worse version of Windows Vista with all of the nagging.
Sadly, I think your 14 Inch MacBook Pro with the 24 core GPU was a lemon. I’m shocked that you would just give up like that, and not give the machine another chance. In addition to a few minor issues with this review, I cannot say I agree with this review at all. And again, I really like your content Josh, but this review was a miss for me. Thank you for reading this, and hopefully your next review is good!
Hi Josh did you get apple care for your macbooks?
turn off the promotion, issue resolved?!
What are the issues for Mac OS when plug to the display monitor?
€3500? 🤣🤣🤣
Okay so I bought 14″ MBP M1 pro base model just this month and I LOVE it!. Upgraded from my 6 year old MBP core i5 2015 model. That one had one fan and this one has 2 and I can’t get them to even turn on. This thing runs so cool and so fast with battery lasting me 15 hours easily. Best laptop I’ve ever had in my entire life. Keyboard is quieter than my old mac.
I want to know the battery health how it’s going on this device mine dropped to 93% only after 8 months which I find very weird
