16“ better cooling, speakers, battery, screen space

Absolutely! It definitely offers more as a machine! 💪 However, it also comes with a $300 higher price tag and a loss in portability.

Thanks for the feedback! 🙌 Fantastic pick! Would be interesting to know what are the main factors that made you decide on the 14-inch model?

its insane buying a 24inch external monitor is cheaper than upgrading 2 inch of your macbook

That's a unique perspective! Although the matter extends beyond the display size, it's tied to the bigger battery, more metal, larger speakers, trackpad, and the convenience of having it all in a portable laptop. But you're right, the price difference is substantial enough to make you reevaluate the overall benefits. And the alternative you brought out is spot-on, worthy of consideration!

@@SpotlightToday yeah another persepective, like having a external ssd coz storage upgrade is expensive af, and many ssd are discounted right now

I got the 14" base model with 16GB of RAM and 1TB drive. I just returned it yesterday for a Space Black Pro chip model with a 1TB drive. I'm happy I did as like was said in the video, I want this to last me 5 years (at least, more like 6 to 8) and figured the extra fan, cores, memory would be nice.

That's a wise decision! 🙌 Did you get the M3 model or one of the previous ones?

What about the heating problem in 14 inch ? Does that generate lot of heat and fan noise, if we do a lot of multitasking ?

@SpotlightToday 3 ай бұрын

In general, the matter isn't severe enough to consider them 'heat problems'. While the 14'' model can run about 10-20% hotter than the 16'', it has a minimal impact on its performance. Whether the slightly increased temperatures will become problematic later, as components wear down and newer software demands increase, is another question, but so far, it doesn't seem to be an issue. Regarding fan noise, when comparing the same tasks, the 14'' model's fans usually start working earlier, and sometimes in situations where the 16'' model doesn't need to ramp up the fans at all. Thus, the 14'' model operates with increased and maximum fan speeds much more often, resulting in louder operation. On a positive note, people usually prefer the higher-pitched noise of the 14'' model over the 16'' when comparing the noise impact itself. For us, fan noise is not a significant distraction, so we are fine with it. However, if it is an important factor for you, you might consider the 16'' model.
