Hope you enjoyed my long term review. What do you want to see next?

I got the 16 inch version with M1 Pro processor and 1 TB SSD. I gotta say Apple nailed on this one. Battery is like a double comparing to 2019 version and I haven’t heard any fans plus didn’t get any throttling. Also the screen resolution is fantastic the only downside about this mac is the weight is heavier than 2019 version but I don’t mind I use it mostly on Desk.

Great follow up, was looking forward to you doing this.

The best review on YT! It's great that you covered some other tasks besides video editing. There are people who are not editing videos.

I have the 14” MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, and it’s awesome! 💻 Sometimes, I wish I had the larger screen, but I value portability. I also use the MacBook Pro with an external monitor for more screen real estate (but unfortunately, most monitors can’t compare to the MacBook Pro’s display).

hello spawnpoint, I got the M1 Pro 14 about the same period as you, everything you've said is true!. This is a phenomenal device. Great long term review buddy!

Glad to see someone else with the battery thing. I have a 2020 13-inch MB Pro that is about a year old and it is also at 96%. I use it in basically the same way, docked for work and on battery for couch surfing and lighter work.

Excellent review Chris. Covered all bases in a simplistic manner. If given a choice, I'd personally go for a 14 inch version. Looks more portable and comfortable to use.

End of 2023 and I am going to get the same specs with yours.Great reviews and thanks a lot! :)

I think subconsciously…I’ve ended up with a lot of the same things in my setups (for e.g. LG OLED TV & the MX Keys!) and I was genuinely considering the MacBook Pro 14”. It’s like you read my mind! Awesome content as always. Keep it up.

16" MacBook Pro is perfect for me because I use multiple applications at the same time on my laptop, like I play video games in window mode while I'm working on Illustrator and at the same time I open Facebook and KZfaq in Chrome. So big screen, lots of CPU and GPU cores and 64GB of RAM is perfect for me.

I didn't even know you did macbook reviews. Please may you do the m3 on its most demanding mac games. ..........that thumbnails sick👌

good advice on the ssd, my old one was 256 and its barely enough for just applications alone

Great video! I just purchased a used 2021 16” M1 Max 64GB 2TB for 1,500 dollar with a 82 cycle count and 98% battery life. Originally 4,000 I’m more than excited since I’ve been waiting to buy one of these bad boys

Nice long term summary, just qq regarding using it docked, does the case warmup a bit with the screen closed?

Great video. I will be going with the 14 inch M1 Pro model.

Awesome video! I currently have the 13" MacBook Air M1 with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage and it's been great so far! But the best one I go for, will definitely be a 16" MacBook Pro at somepoint🙌🏻🙏🏻

Im mostly at home. And will be using the mac both docked on the desk, and also on my couch. Im not traveling much. What size do you think will suit my needs then? Im going with m1 pro 10/16 with 16gb ram and 1tb ssd. I also havent bought the external monitor yet. After i buy the mac, i have to wait a month or two to afford an ultrawide 34" inch

I've had mine for 5months and I've dropped 1% in capacity. I plug/charge my 16"MacBook Pro between 2-4 times a day (work projects are quite GPU intensive) but I charge to less than 80%, I hardly ever charge to or exceed 80% even if I go out.

This is a great review you’ve literally covered everything, I had the 16 inch 2019 MBP which I sold these M1 Pro/Max machines are amazing I thinking about getting the base 16 inch but up the SSD to 1TB

I have a 16” with 32gb and 1tb ssd on order. Coming over from a 17.3” MSI laptop which is very heavy and bulky. My concern is whether this laptop will be big enough compared to what I’m used to! This will be my first Mac. I’ve bought a new laptop every two years spending about $1.5k each time. I’ve over specked on this mac but I intend keeping it for at least 5 years. Like you I will use it on my desk or on the couch. But I will never buy a smaller screen than this. Just hope it’s big enough.

This is a great review, best one so far! thinking of getting the 16"

At first I was set for 16'' because I had the 15'', but ended up getting the 14'' due to limited budget, in the end I'm glad I got the 14'' as I have been moving a lot recently and often work on the go; the 16'' would have been a bit too clunky for on the go use. Also the 14'' can handle 4K video footage editing in Final Cut without a hitch. For the iPhone I agree, I can't get used to how narrow the screen is on the regular iPhone Pro and its just giving me a headache when I use it; for the next one, will get the Pro Max.

16".... because i didnt wanted a binned M1 Pro and it was worth it because of the bigger screen and battery. Just a good all in one machine which is even better than most of the desktops (as desktop usage). Also the 16" doesnt get noisy under load while the 14" "can get noisy".

Got the 16” Max w 32 gig and 1 TB. Love it. Def worth the investment. Do you plan on upgrading to rumored M2 Max possibly coming out in WWDC?

I’m going for the 14” Inch M1 Pro, because of the portability most of all. I think the base model with 1tb will be more than powerful enough for me, I’ll be using it just for graphic design.

Very nice video 👍🏻 waiting for this review from a long time 😊

I have M1 Air and I bought it October. My battery health is still 100% as I do not charge it when it is plugged in my monitor

My god I love your desk set up! So clean and nice!

Do you find that the extra height of the new 14” Pro makes it more uncomfortable against your wrists while typing or using the keyboard? Thanks

Nice video! I think I’ll end up going with the 16” just to avoid any possibility of the fans kicking in. I really despise any type of fan noise 😰 great video!!

Went with the 16 because I don’t have any external monitor. So nice to just work on one screen and it’s super high quality. Never upgrading until this thing dies. Haven’t heard the fans come on a single time.

Mine is 64GB memory with 4TB SSD. Always consider this as the best laptop I ever have...Still don't know why the battery level doesn't go down quickly while I run Tensorflow codes..without connecting to the power.

Great review Chris! Glad to hear you've been enjoying it! Just a quick question about your use with final cut, have you noticed any lag with the audio waveform previews loading anyime you zoom in/out?

I’m sorry……honestly I am in love with the way you shoot and edit man honestly it’s just perfect. Honestly I would love it if you were able to do like lessons or how you shoot, record your voice and edit oh and also how you use photoshop. I am honestly amazed at your work.

My exact spec. I use mine for work and it’s been a dream

your voice is so relaxing. amazing video!

Hye man, do you think its worth it to buy the MBP16 M1 Max? Im a lecturer, I think i dont need the extra graphic because im doing a lot of multitasking and online classes, i need good RAM just to ensure all task is smooth and no crashes, Maybe i will go with MBP16 M1 Pro base model

After 5 months with 14" m1 pro I have 100% battery max capacity. I work only from battery and charge avr. 1/day. Also I like to charge slow from 20W charger - also increases health.

I’ve seriously been dreaming of owning the 14 inch MacBook Pro so I can use it for school but just haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet, I’m working to buy it and if my math is right I should have it in the next three or four months I’ve just been looking for something that size with that much performance

I would love to hear about your workflow/ use case for your insta 360x2

Awesome to see a fellow Notion user! A video on how you use it for your day to day work and life would be awesome!

I’ve been back and fourth between going with the 14 inch or the 16 inch. I’m sold on the 16 inch simply because I don’t ever use an external monitor and I’m going to use it to edit videos. Although I will be taking it with me about everywhere.

I have the 14” MBP and I honestly think I should have gotten the MacBook Air. Could have save myself 2grand but I do like the slim bezel’s that the MBP have.

I have the m1pro 16" version and it's fantastic, but I'm facing a problem, does this guy support an external monitor that has 120hz or more?

What's the LG Ultrawide that you use? Have you had any issues? when I clicked on your desk setup video its the 32 inch but in this video, it shows ultrawide

Hi, I got M1 Pro 16 inch for 6 months, I got 60 cycles and 95% battery capacity left in OS settings, 92% in coconut battery. Lil bit disappointed how battery capacity melts down every 2-4 weeks. How many cycles do you have after 6 months of use? I've started to use Aldente Pro app to let it charge my Mac to 50-60% range and sit on this range to let my battery capacity last longer. to let my battery capacity last longer.

I am loving the wallpapers you are making available for us! I personally purchased the blue/red one. Please let us know when you make more in other colors!!

Really Love Your Work. Always Amazing Videos, Keep The Good Work

excellent content as always. Do you plan to build a gaming PC in the future?

I have the 16” M1 pro. Thing is an absolute beast and I love it more each day I use it

Have bought the m1 13” pro when it first came out and I couldn’t hold a candle to it when rendering videos. I bought the 16” max fully loaded a few months ago and yes it flew thru everything I put in front of it but so can the air or 13” pro. I would recommend the m1 over the pro and max for 99% of all users.

I really enjoyed this review 💕💕💕

Hi, regarding the M1 max 16. Are the fans only likely to kick in when both gpu and cpu are maxed out? Also, are you aware if the battery life would be about the same between m1 pro and m1 max, if just using the cpu? If anyone has experience with this, would be great to here your thoughts. All the best

What kind of back pack do you have? I was looking to get one that could fit the 16 inch comfortably without having to cram in the computer or risk damaging it.

New LG TV c2 u should make video about that mate

can we make 4 5 screen monitor's or we have to go with pc setup ??

Stuck between the MacBook Air 14 and the Mac mini m2 😢😓😰Should I wait or just get a current modes?!?!? O que

Your videos look awesome on my 77 inch C2!

great review! The m1 max macbook pro is stunning!

amazing work keep it up

Great video. I just got myself a 16" M1 Max with 64GB 1TB SSD and 32 GPU :)

I think the MacBook Air would be perfect for me, cause anything like the Pro or Studio would be an overkill for me Great review man! 🌟

Any reason why you don’t use your MacBook screen while docked? I find it useful for more screen real estate for Teams or email while working on some main apps

Battery life matters as well when choosing between the 14" or 16"

I’m rockin a hybrid setup with an m1 Mac mini and an HP spectre 360! Want to go full apple tho

Whats the best dock for the ultrawide and MacBook? Just got both and looking for a desktop dock solution?/

I would go for M2 Max 14inch with 32GB ram and 2TB storage. Would you say that is worth it or get 64GB ram? I plan to keep the laptop for 10 years minimum and use music production software

I am a windows man. I have used windows computers my entire 37 years. However, I am slowly moving towards apple products. My first apple product was the ipod classice I bought back in 2009. Loved that device. Since then I have owned several different Apple devices (except their computers) but the devices I currently have are, iphone 11 pro max, ipad pro 11inch (a12x chip), Airpods pro and 3 Airtags, I also am probably only 5 people on the entire planet that still uses itunes and loves it. I love all my Apple products but when Apple announced the M1 macbook pro I began to consider their computers. My current computer is an Asus ROG Zephrus M16, I bought new from best buy back in Nov 2021. I like this computer however I kinda wish I had waited and maybe saved up my money to get a Macbook. The only things keeping me from fully switching are, some of the software I use I think is windows only, while I am not a big gamer, I still like to play a game from time to time and the games I play I know are not well optimized for the macbook and the biggest reason is cost. Macs in comparison to windows computer are so damn expensive. I would get the 16" M1 Max with 32gb and 2 tb of of storage. I know that thing will cost me over $4k. I'm not really in the mood to spend that kinda money, but dammit I really am getting tired of windows PC's. I use power director to edit my videos for youtube and this computer has such a hard time playing back the 4k footage. It skips a lot during edits despite this being a very new computer that is supposed to be optimized for gaming. I have the exact same mouse and keyboard as you and love them both so I know I won't have connectivity issues if I do decide one day to get a mac.

I got my MacBook Pro 16 inch on desk and the m1 MacBook Air on the go 🤘🏻

I Would Go/Choose The 16-Inch MacBook PRO (M1 Max) With 10-Cores And 32-GB.

Was gonna check out my hotel, but gonna watch this first on their wifi before I do lol

Thank You 👍

nice video spawn!! what is the name of the sound in the video or music

Hey what the name of that external drive you are using.

Hello mate I’m using the mac book air M1 but when I open chrome or fire fox and maximize the window I see a screen lag it lasts for less than a second but with safari and other apps like telegram it’s awesome and no proplems at all what do you think of it ? Is that a normal thing or there is an issue? Thank you

100%.... 89 charging cycles! Easily dont charge always to 100% and set a charging limit with AlDente which is actually fitting your needs. I personally can do my daily stuff on battery with 50-70% charge and come back with 30-50%, if i need more i mostly charge anywhere up between 80 and 100%. Especially with the 16" model its crazy how long this battery lasts, no need for more than 80% charge anyways in most cases.

Que monitor tienes ?

great content bro love your channel

Is that silver or space grey?

I dont get why people would get the 14 inch for "portability,: i'd say just man up and carry the slightly heavier, way better 16 inch macbook

Does anyone have a dock recommendation that will support two 4K monitors? Tough to find a quality dock for this laptop!

Another amazing video👍

Wait a second… why do you edit work on a not 100% RGB correct screen? And when you have an colorcorrected screen in the Macbook Pro, why not use it as the ref screen next to the curves one with your timeline?

Do you have eyestrain using this mac? I have been using it for almost a year and get red eyes everytime I use it for 30 minutes.

I don't need an external display, any display looks as good the MBP! maybe the studio display but others monitors looks really bad, blurry text!!!!

I got the 16'' on launch day and I'm at 91% battery health. If it goes below 80% before 1000 cycles (I'm at 374), then Apple will replace for free with AppleCare

This is my dream spec 🙌

Excellent machine

What backpack are you using in the intro?

Do you think Apple will ever get into video gaming? Currently Apple arcade is providing some really good mobile games, but I can't really say weather they'll ever make some tripple A tittles to take full advantage of m1 chips

Monitor model?

Anyone else getting lags on Final Cut Pro on the M1 Max 32Core GPU, 64GB RAM 16 inch ? Sometimes Final Cut Pro even freezes.

Spawn don’t stop making videos

How does 16" for a student who types a lot ?? Does 16" feel so heavy?? It's just 2.1 kg?? Some people call 2.2 kg Alienware laptop as portable but 2.1 16" as heavy?? Does this feel so heavy in bag???

bigger trackpad!!! ???? you don't touch it with the palms when type? I even think should be smaller!

Currently on a Macbook Pro 2017 but might hold off. The new Macbook is bulky, heavy and only part of the first release of Apple Silicon. Hopefully they make some changes to make it more worth the price.

Totally Outstanding M1 Max MacBook Pro 16” Six Month Review by you Sir.....😝😝👻👻👽

Bro, you are so underrated

Can anyone tell me the name of his 38" monitor?
