Why GET the M1 Pro/Max for Programming | 4 reasons

After a few weeks with the new M1 Max and M1 Pro machines, here are my thoughts on whether developers should buy these.

Will love to see some deep learning comparisons. Tensorflow, pytorch. Compare yolov5 training with colab and kaggle

I'm a 10-years software engineer. You're absolutely right. We can code with any kind of low-end CPU. But for productivity & longevity, the more powerful CPU at the time you buy, the more you have.

Yes please for the ffmpeg, it would be nice for a break from mac testings, plus I'm interested

[ariqahmer]

Your channel is so underrated man. Love your content!

[brianh]

Any chance that you will be doing a video on environment for C/C++ (especially debugging) in VS Code for the M1 Mac? It seems everything out there at the moment is still for intel based Macs. Xcode is alright but I'd prefer to stick with VS Code. All the directions I've found for setup (lldb) have failed to work on the M1. Is it worth it to do that for C/C++? (Maybe that's the better question?)

[alexk]

Hey Alex. Enjoying your videos from a dev perspective! FFMPEG one please!

[JohnKatiku]

Love the retorts from ur friend. Ur videos are fresh. Thank you n keep it up

Work bought me a decked out 16" M2 Max Pro with 64GB of memory and 1TB SSD and I friggin' love the thing. Apple really hit it out of the park with these M-series machines. The last MBP I had was a 2015 model with the god awful butterfly keyboard and anemic ports. After the spacebar went to crap, I swore off Apple for a while. I'm glad to see they are now better than ever. I'm a developer that deploys only to x86_amd64 machines, so creating a dev environment that can produce amd64 binaries (both Linux and Windows) in the arm64 environment of an M-series MBP was a minor challenge, but I got through it using UTM and Roesetta2. Awesome laptops!

Please, a video about FFMPEG would be nice!!

[fruitoverflow]

I commented in one of your previous videos I sinned and got the Max but actually this is going to help A LOT in my personal workflows, for one in Unity my experience is going to be smooth and will not get slowed down by the editor, and I am also doing Java development where I can cut compile time like in 1/3, and my compile times are very frustrating at times, this is actually a very very nice upgrade. Oh, and, of course, I'm building the gradle project while I watch this XD

I am interested in ffmpeg. Please make a video if you can about that incredible little library.

[neoswallow]

Awesome videos. Thumbs up for the ffmpeg test 👍🏼

I was looking for info about developing in Mac machines. The most are focus in media producers or something basic like web surfing. Your channel is a good source for devs.

[Epro]

Still rocking my 2012 Macbook Pro 15". With Flutter hot reload, the longer compile times don't really have an effect on me. Would love to see an M2 15" MBA next year, then I might jump ship.

[anianii]

Just got the MacBook Pro ad before this video 😁

[tomminor]

Software engineer here (iOS, Android and now Microservices). Love your content. Subscribed. Been watching recently as I upgraded my personal intel Mac book pro to M1Max.

Not sure if you have done this, but it would be nice to see a comparison of running simple micro service (web hello world or basic rest server or something similar)

Comparing runtime performance and resource usage using
1. Docker desktop (Which will soon require $$$)
2. Under Linux VM using UTM
3. Under Ubuntu server instance using multipass

Thanks for considering my request and also for your great content.

Agree with the mobile dev I have a 16gb Ram, 16in 2015 MBP and it's not doing well. At the moment there's a code base that takes 9 minutes to build the android version after a flutter clean. It's a flutter project. Generating the generated code, which can happen multiple times in a dev session takes like 2 and a half minutes per package and there's 3 packages. I just ordered my my M1 Max 64Gb RAM, 1Tb 16-inch device. It's gonna take a few weeks to show up but when I'm back I'm hoping to see at least a 50% reduction in that specific workflow .

[WujoFefer]

In 2020 I've moved from MBP15 2015 (i7 2.5/16GB/512GB/Radeon x370m) to MacMini M1 with 16GB memory (I thought that it would be for 2-3 years max). With 2x4k displays Mini worked great but memory was the biggest issue. I had not enough memory for all my programs (GitHub/Proxyman/Xcode and Android Studio (2-3 instances at the same time)) and because of that I had lags.
I never saw that big jump in performance, noise reduction (compared to MBP2015) and overall quality of work.
Great job Apple. I think (hope) this machne last 4-5 years as main dev tool for me.
Also I think that 16GB of memory is not enough for any developer, maybe for now, for this and upcoming year but if you think that you will be buying Mac for any kind of programming for upcoming 3-4 years... Think twice and take one with at least 24-32GB.
Less than that will be painfull for you.

I bought an m1 pro 16” base model, and its AMAZING, i developed for 3 hours with go while having multiple chrome tabs postman and vscode testing and the battery havent gone down 1%.

[AtrapadosEnElCodigo]

2:52 Jaja yes, i am watching this video while i am coding 😂😂
