I have a mid-2014 Macbook Pro and this is the first Macbook that has interested me enough to consider upgrading. So glad I skipped all the iterations with touch bar, butterfly keyboard, no SD card slot, no magsafe, no ports (dongle-city). I'm happy it's a bit thicker if that's what it needs to be.

The secret to making the notch seem to disappear is to add a black bar to the top of your desktop wallpaper (or use something like TopNotch to do it for you). Then it just looks like your menu bar is magically floating up in the bezel. It makes SUCH a difference! It's a little embarrassing that Apple doesn't have that option built in.

I got the base-model 14-inch MacBook Pro a few weeks ago and I love it. I'd been holding onto my 2012 model because I need physical function keys, ports, and a keyboard that works outside of a clean room and this is a very substantial upgrade from that. More and more I find myself reaching for it instead of going to my iMac. It's a great machine.

Been waiting for your review, and was left extremely satisfied 😄😄

I am glad full screen works the way it does on the new MacBook's, that notch would be crazy distracting if the screen filled in completely. Kind of looks more like a "focus" mode instead of full screen.

I am still running my 2012 macbook pro. Everything after that wasn't too appealing and I'm glad I held off so long because these are looking way better! Thanks for the video

Wow, I can’t believe this video was 28 minutes long… it felt like 8-10 minutes. I guess I really enjoyed it! Well, I love all your videos and you know that. Even though we mostly disagree with MacBook related stuff, I really love hearing from you so it makes sense. I’ll be looking forward to the 16” review!

Wow, I really appreciate the honesty of this review. I just upgraded to this Macbook Pro from a 2013 Macbook Pro and I've been looking for balanced reviews. You are probably the only person to still recommend using a desktop for heavier workloads. Since I have a PC that is spec'd out I'll probably continue editing there and use the Macbook for school, photo editing, and lighter video editing tasks. Great review, I'll be subscribing for sure.

Just got my 14 inch macbook pro today, the keyboard is sensory heaven, the gimmicky touch bar (which I admittedly liked using with Garageband and some other applications) is finally gone, I can put my SD card in rather than having to use a dongle ... life is good

[ak_hoops]

We love a multi part review. Like that you compared the macs. Looking forward to how the M1 max brings. Seriously like how you review! Doing vs. Just talking about it

[lucasrocha]

i've sold my macbook pro 13 2017 butterfly and i bought the 14 inch last week its amazing upgrade.. the keyboard is amazing, everything is amazing..

[potsandjacks]

Out of the 500 tech channels on YouTube, I have found your M1pro video the most entertaining and enjoyable. Subed

[JohnWayne-bnzd]

Finally upgrading from my late 2011 macbook pro 13" to this 14". This is what i've been waiting for.

These MBPs got me feeling like I did over 10 years ago when I bought my first Mac in 2010… I guess I’ll break down and buy one
the only thing missing is the glowing apple logo

I’m probably one of the only people who really wants that back but it was so cool and really made them stand out

I have the 2019 MacBook Pro and I never had any problems with the Touch Bar or the keyboard.

[nvarras]

My wife is laying next to me as I watch this and says, " I'd be excited by 14 inches too but not in a computer. " and laughed through the whole video. I do love her so much.

the brightness and volume controls are easier done via top bar with mouse clicks so the Touch Bar is just amazing and gives a level of beauty and vibrancy to the laptop that boring f keys don't.

[daviddenoncourt]

Put the 14 in Dark Mode, might reduce the contrast between the notch and the topbar.

[Desleiden]

This is just what I was looking for. A review that has a comparison side by side with a Macbook Air M1.
Thank you!! :))
