You mean it gets hot? I thought these chips didn't get so hot

@@maxjames00077 there are probably many professional tasks for which they’re designed not to get hot. But in gaming (even light gaming, when not optimized), they get volcano hot. There’s been too much rhetoric about them being magical in some way. It’s a bit luck of the draw which they are optimized for (heavy web browsing, content consumption, professions tasks I don’t do) and which they behave as though they’re an intel machine without integrated graphics or a heat sink (light gaming, even some supposedly native to apple silicon). Make no mistake, they get hot and can be easily pushed to last 90 minutes 100% to 0. No magic here.

@@MrPerfundo oh wow thanks. Guess I've been getting the wrong image of all the people praising them so much that a comment like this actually helps realizing me again that its not a flawless machine either. Ty

@@maxjames00077 Hey never take a Mac for gaming! PCs are better for this kind of stuff and much cheaper.

@@jeansienkin thanks ill buy a 13th gen intel then

Did you go with a 10 core? How are you liking it if so?

I hate how people in the apple world referred to "binned" meaning the exact opposite as the rest of the computing world. Binned in the PC world and custom parts usually refers to higher quality silicon not lower.

Glad I could help

I’m in the class as you. Using the 13 inch mbp love it but I need more screen space. Just ordered the 16 inch

Is your computer a Macbook Pro with m1 or m1 pro processor?

That's the one to get. With zero upgrades other than maybe storage

I noticed zero difference in EQ or volume btw on my units

@@JustJoshTech Interesting, I've seen both Alex from ShortCircuit and Max Tech describe this. The differences are either really subtle or unit-to-unit differences that may or may not have existed for the previous gen MBPs.

@@JustJoshTech Do you have a calibrated microphone? There are a couple of good ones for about $100, you could measure frequency response with Room EQ Wizard if you're familiar with it.

Speakers are quieter than the 2013, but much better, balanced, less tinny, nicer sound, not gonna use it as a boombox, but totally reasonable, volume levels for sitting at it

What would you recommend 14 or 16

Thanks mate. I try to make it as useful as possible

I compared both btw. I just showed the b roll of 16. Re the SSD my friend.... I can't afford to buy a 4th base model with base SSD! 3 was enough :)

Thanks for the nice words. I have struggled to exceed more than 16. But it really depends on your use case. All our working Mac laptops used to make these videos are 32. That is more of a just in case though rather than a need. We can operate with 16.

I'm glad they have helped

Same here! I was thinking if it’s worth upgrading the SSD Storage to 1TB with the M2 pro MacBook Pro base model (16GB RAM - 10CPU - 16GPU) to improve “Swapping speeds”?

@Ahmed so what was Your decision?

@@smokehead5318 I would like to know if this upgrade will make sense!

I have an Asus G14 from 2020 and I tried to sell it but without luck. Now I’m keeping it for casual gaming(perfect for the new Hogwarts legacy game) and I also bought a MacBook and I can tell you that the MacBook is just something else. You will not regret it.

It shouldn’t surprise anyone the M2 is simply a generational jump. The major display/chassis overhaul is done and dusted, it’s just going to be processor updates to keep it competitive. No different to older Intel Macs or Dell XPS devices that kept the same design from 2016-20 and only had spec bumps between then. If you skipped the M1 Pro and waited this long then this is the reward where you can pay the same amount and get a slightly faster device with slightly better battery.

That's funny, I have the G15 and I use it primarily for gaming, but for any "serious" work I always reach for my MacBook or my iPad.

@@OurFantasyLife which iPad do you suggest ?

We're in the same boat. I also have a 2021 g14 and realized that I barely used the dedicated GPU for any intensive app or program that's why I am trying to get rid of it before diving to the world of MacOS. Go for the refurb M1 14", I feel like that's the most bang for the buck variant available out there.

I used to do this, but my projects all opened within a second or two of each other. It was immaterial tbh

What about a thermal issues in your case with 14" M1 Pro?

Note that you can connect to most high refresh screens using the USB/Thunderbolt ports on the previous gen. I'm currently rocking a 144hz 34' 3440x1440 pixels screen with a USB C cable.

@@DarkAngel56666 Hi, does this also work on a Macbook Air?

@@deepee1544 Yes it does :)

@@DarkAngel56666 Ok, thank you!

Same thing cause you'll only use cpu not GPU thus max and pro are same workload in your case...

In my opinion, you don't need to spend that kind of money on the 30 core GPU. Since you're a photographer, not a videographer, it might be overkill. The 2TB SSD is overkill for photos too (get a large external HHD for storing the photos you're not working on... much, much cheaper than SSD and fine for storage, so you could afford a massive HHD for the same cost as a much smaller internal SSD.) Unless you are swimming in money and really don't care about the cost, that is. Being a media person as well, I used to think like you and get all the upgrades, then because I'd spent so much, felt like I had to hold on to the computer for a decade. The downside is, then something like a revolutionary new chip comes along and you feel like you have to wait. Getting something a little more basic (which isn't that basic nowadays!) and upgrading more frequently would have been a better strategy in terms of value, and I could have had a much better computer sooner. Apple's upgrade protocol makes that super easy and efficient too, where you trade in your old computer for a newer one and just pay the difference. Mac's hold onto their value quite well, much longer than other PC's, and the more recent the computer, the higher the value comparatively, especially in the first few years, but after that it tends to lose value more quickly.

How is the M2 14 with heat?

@@curtisimo81 I have not noticed any difference there either. I am a mobile software developer, compiling for iOS, and often simultaneously will be in a Zoom meeting.

@@nicksophinos4611 did you notice any problems with the heat in general and noisy fans? Also, how is your battery life on average ? Thank you for the response

@@vaskodikov6869 For my developer usage, neither one every gets hot enough to run the fans. One time I was outside with the sun beating down on it, but that's to be expected.

@@vaskodikov6869 Oh, and battery life is great. I don't measure it, but it is certainly an improvement over the intel models.

Max is fine in 16

Should have just bought the correct one in the first place with upgraded RAM, instead of wasting money “upgrading” within a year. Apple is preying off people like you.

@@NOT_A_TOP_FAN I agree. Apple gives $460 for a fully specked out 2019 i9 Macbook Pro. That to me is crazy. Probably what it cost to produce, but still...wow!

I was considering getting the exact same MBP with these configurations. Are you satisfied with it?

Hmm, I edited this video using the 10 core 14inch. It was very comfortable

@@JustJoshTech 😀👍🏼 thx for the answer. Got only 14 inch with 12 core m2 with highly needed 1tb in my local store. Other option is to customize basic version with 1tb and wait for it. After those amazing thermal tests you did I’m thinking - is that comfortable to edit videos in premiere before exporting process - is it getting hot during editing when few plugins and color settings applied on preview … or it’s getting that hot only when exporting 🤷‍♂️

which one you bought?? thoughts?

Agreed

What are you doing on the laptop?

@@JustJoshTech a lot of programming, photo editing a lot of tab and also I need to emulate windows a lot!

Is the 14inch 16gb good?

@@royaltykidstv I think base model came with 16 gb and yes it does not feel warm.

@@Ipadairpro8636 what is base model? I want to get the 16GB with 1TB, this would be the model that doesn’t get hot right?

@@royaltykidstv I am not a tech expert. This is based on my experience using some of the devices. if you get the 10-Core CPU 16-Core GPU 16GB Unified Memory with 1TB storage (the device will not get hot. the version that does get hot is the 14 inch with 12 core cpu and 19 core gpu. If you want more cpu or gpu performance and care about the labtop getting warm, I recommended the 16 inch 1TB model :)

@@Ipadairpro8636 so Best Buy gives me on M2 Pro these options: 16 Core with 16RAM and 512GB, and 19 Core with 1TB on 16RAM. When you say it gets hot is that bad?

I am totally leaning that way myself Moe .

How is it & what cpu/gpu etc did you get with it

@@RMRTravel i got the base model, for my needs it’s more than enough. I would have gotten the Air but the screen and the speakers made swayed me to this one plus more Unified which I would have to upgrade on the Air

@@extremelucky1 the speakers is what is keeping me away from the air as well. Originally I wanted the air because I have times in my job I have to Travel too, and that is what is keeping me away from the 16” I have one of the MSI gaming laptops that is 17 inches and its not Comfortable to carry around at all… the base model for this has the 16gig unified memory right? Is that what you Kept I was debating if I should upgrade that part to the 32 but if its Not Really gonna be a difference for me and the 16 works great Ill save the money cuz they are def not Cheap… its 3299.00cad plus 15% tax for the 14”mac pro m2 pro chip 12cpu 19gpu 16g u.memory 1Tb storage…. Another one has 10cpu 16gpu 16g u.memory but if have to upgrade the storage from 512- 1tb and that one is $2849.00 +15%tax..,, is it better or worth it to just go with the package With no upgraded needed most likely that is for 3299.00 ? I love we have Options but sometimes its just too much I have a hard time deciding lol

@@RMRTravel 16 is just too big. I tried it, travelled with and returned. 16gb of Unified is plenty unless you do some pro stuff. I even wish the 14-inch was a bit lighter but that’s me. I say get the 14-inch base model, 1TB SSD if you need it.

I'm going to answer this in a KZfaq short for you

@@JustJoshTech thanks!

@@JustJoshTech I would also like to know... where do I find that answer video?

Hi. Have you decided yet between the 16 or 32? I am on the same boat.

It's due to the software running not MacOS. Premier Pro needs to optimize

I think you just hit it... "I have not bencharked". Have you monitored your processor usage that your intensive tasks are using all cores? Mine wasn't. Only the benchmarks were. Let me know pls

@@JustJoshTech Thanks Josh, will do some testing. Just had cinebench R23 on a loop for 10 mins and it got to 95C on the highest core but fans still quiet. The standard M1 and M2 MacBook Pro fan curves are set to prioritise quiet operation. I think you are right that the higher core CPUs might be a struggle for the 14 inch chassis but apple seem not to care if it goes to high 90s or even 100+ C - I tend to use TG pro for fan/temp monitoring

No. There is a monstrous difference to m2. On many dimensions

@@JustJoshTech thanx you 😊

It’s not heavy at all. Would it be better if it was made of creaky plastic?

Sure wouldent @@zoltanzana

I am saying, I would absolutely not upgrade unless you can prove you need the extra RAM. In my use case, my assumption was wrong. I didn't need it and wasted alot of money. ALOT

@@JustJoshTech Thanks for your advice.
