Had the 16" i9 last generation. Loved it, but too big and heavy. Really awkward to just "causally" whip out in class or at Starbucks, etc. Now I am typing this comment on my new 14" M1 Max on my lap. I could not be happier!

Being my primary device I’m going with the 16”. More screen real estate, better battery life, better thermals (less fan noise), larger trackpad and better speakers. The 14” is a great machine for sure but coming from the 13” touchbar pro, I don’t feel the size difference would change my experience much and I always wished I went to the 15-16” size

Been trying to decide between the 14 and 16, this sealed it for me! I’ve found the old 15” MacBooks a bit unwieldy so the 14” seems like a sweet spot, it looks as portable as a 13” but without the limited screen size

Finally, a video that has helped me in deciding which MacBook Pro to go for. I was really confused between the 14" and 16" because from a price perspective there's not much separating it and I would be working on spreadsheets and some light coding so I was leaning towards the 16" but after watching this video I've decided to go ahead with the 14" 10 core GPU 1 TB variant!
Thanks for helping me make my decision!

I really admire your work. Giving honest and genuine feedbacks and at the same time keeping your videos very organized and simple. I am also a college student studying computer science and can relate to your love for technology. I hope your channel grows a lot. All the best :)

I totally agree with you, the 14" really is a sweet spot. It's portable yet powerful. Hopefully Apple will keep impressing us with such great products in the future. Also, I love the new flat edged design of the macbooks!

[erickauffmann_official]

Really useful and thorough review, thank you so much Ella!

[anastasiamitkou]

Personally I would go for the 16". I have always used big screen devices so I feel that the transition to a smaller device would be very hard for me

[Ashley-cmmd]

I actually like the 16" more, it's like a portable computer, I mean a laptop is technically a portable computer, but like the 16" has that bigger screen which feels more like a desktop kinda vibe.

14” & 16” decision is like portability vs productivity. For that, I found it super helpful to choose what to buy. Thank you for this video!

[sadiakhan]

Im glad I found this channel, I cant stop praising the amount of detail she puts in her video.. not just details which flies over the head but details which really matters. Keep it up girl💪

Watching this from my 16" M1 Pro. Came from the 13.3" Mid 2012 MBP. So happy. Massive upgrade.

When I think about 14" vs 16" for my next Mac, I remember how much I enjoyed my old 17" MacBook Pro. It died a few years ago and I miss it. I miss that display real estate. It weighed about 6 lbs. I think I'll be OK with a 4.8 lbs 16" MacBook Pro. The 16" MacBook Pro doesn't seem all that big to me when I compare it to some of the clunkers from the past.

[surefirerom]

I agree with choosing 14" over 16" and the reason for me is portability and that is exactly what I did. After two months of watching reviews like your channel, it helps me a lot to decide to get the 14". Thumbs up!

14 inch Laptops are also my go to, they are much more convenient to fit in all sorts of backpacks for on the run. They also don't compromise on performance much which this MacBook Pro lineup proves, it is perfectly capable. 14inch screen estate has been a sweetspot for production for me and if I did need the more screen estate for being a power user I would hook upto a monitor but have the advantage of having more portability.

Wow that was THE BEST REVIEW I've ever seen, you just make every thing so simple and entertaining!
Please continue making more videos you're the best💗!

[QpidEclipse]

As a student, buying a MacBook Pro has always been a dream of mine. I really think these new ones are worth it especially having their ports back. Keep up the content❤️❤️❤️❤️

[AJCW]

I can understand how nice the 14 inch would be since the 16 inch is definitely a lot more difficult to bring around with me, but that extra battery life and screen real estate is too good for me to deny!

[prrypm]

For me the 16" Screen is just too big of an advantage over the 14" I love how glorious it is to just doing everything on it and I'm very impressed with it overall.

[ShankarMurugesan]

Perfect! I made my decision to get 14 over 16. thanks Ella.
