imagine having a laptop with a battery life measured in days, damn

Anthony is my favorite LTT host. More Anthony!!! He brings SO MUCH credibility to this type of video.

I love how Crab Rave is non-ironically the perfect way to do the speaker comparison because
1) everyone knows the song and how it SHOULD sound
2) that central beat in the song loops very quickly, so you can very easily swap speakers and immediately tell the difference whenever the beat loops.

[Schneizel]

Everyone: We want a quality, top-notch laptop
Apple: Say no more

[arjunyg]

Note: you can “fast charge” at 96 W with the standard USB C cable too. It’s just on the 16 in that “fast charge” only means 140 W, which requires the magsafe cable apparently…

Would love to see you guys integrate professional audio benchmarks into your testing, especially with Logic being one of the most used DAWs and Apple dominating the audio space. Comparing export times in something like Studio One or Pro Tools on Mac vs. PC is something I'd be interested to see. I'd also like to see how these new Macs line up against the first gen M1 Macs in Logic.

Really love Anthony's hosting style, a little more relaxed while remaining clear. Also quite a soothing 'radio voice' compared to high energy Linus. Great to see more of him.

[IrishLuckyy]

I really love seeing Anthony host. His voice is so soothing and he seems so reasonable and down to earth.

“Notch to bottom”

That actually has quite the ring that it haha

Apple has finally managed to tempt me with this one. I have not been overly impressed with the recent MacBooks, but the new m1 pro/max macbook pros are on a whole new level.

Update: I bought the 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro (unbinned chip with 16GB RAM) and it's been a great laptop to use. I can imagine myself using it for many more years to come. I also bought a skin from Marmelade Cat. It has a cutout for the Apple logo at the top skin and a cutout for the MacBook Pro engraving at the bottom skin. So far this was the only skin brand I could find that has the bottom cutout for the MacBook Pro engraving 👍

The notch in the animated intro sequence had me 😂

“It’s almost like thin at any costs held them back” Johnny Ive weeps somewhere

[MrRobbyvent]

apple is actually tempting me but I kill the monkey every time by looking one of Rossman's videos or better to the price list of apple products and accessories. I feel instantly better!

[EtanChamare]

It’d be really cool to see a little update video for Blender rendering when Metal support is fully enabled.

[mirage]

For benchmarking the GPU in gaming: the Dolphin emulator has a native Apple silicon release. That could be an interesting one to compare with. Load up Rogue Squadron and watch those laptops burn.

[SpartanJRT]

I have the m1 max 16 inch and it has handled everything I’ve thrown at it so far faster then even my desktop, it also has ridiculously long battery life.

[MrArteez]

I'm happy that Anthony got to make this video, he's a really good host!

[momomobilus]

As a software developer I appreciate the Firefox compile time benchmark but would really love to see some benchmarks using docker containers with and without Rosetta

[adrianbjones]

Watching this on my late 2011 MBP - I guess it's finally time, although I am going to miss my matte screen :(

[ChrisPkmn]

There is no skin smoothing algorithm. You're glowing Anthony!
