it's so difficult to hold your breath for the M1X😣

[BloodshotEight]

As an owner or a spec’d out MacBook 16” I’m absolutely terrified for an 16” M series MacBook Pro

[leishdawg]

I'm so stoked for the Apple Silicon 16" MBP

[rogersmj]

Please stop making these videos, I'm trying to NOT buy an M1 MBP until the bigger ones come out.

[HasAfzal]

And the crazy thing is the MBA is literally made for causal users and students who browse the web, write essays, watch Netflix etc yet the laptop is still an absolute beast

Excited to see what Apple brings in their flagship Macs

[JDRos]

Finally, someone who covered programming. It seems that other Youtubers think everyone are video editors.

[NiranjanBendre]

Don't recommend 16" Intel based MacBook Pro when the Apple silicon one is around the corner! :)

[lenn]

I'm guessing the 16" MBP ran out of battery power many hours before the M1 MBA did.

[utubekullanicisi]

Okay Vadim I’m already ECSTATIC about the 14 & 16” Apple Silicon Macbook Pros, don’t hype me up even further 😫

[toYT]

I love how Max Tech listens to what their fans want them to upload.

[oguz]

Can anyone confirm that there is no scrolling difference between 7 and 8 core GPU? I have 7 core MBA makes me feel like I'm having scrolling issues.

[expressoaddict]

I already bought the m1 Air 16 gb, it arrives tomorrow, so excited! This is my first apple product in years.

[DoitYHWH]

Can't wait for these to come to Apple Refurbished!

[pratikxv]

Hi can you do MacBook pro m1 vs i9 5600M 16" MacBook Pro.

[dragonzord]

I was this years old when I found him and his brother weren't the same person...

[The_other_side-]

This is not the way a music producer choose his laptop.the problem is with compatibility of third party plugins we rely on.

[marksilva]

Will you compare the 16” against the 13” pro as well?

[wingsley]

One blind spot in these comparisons: Sara Dietchy keeps bringing up that Adobe Premiere is not yet optimized for Apple's new processors. Apparently, she tried using M1 Macs and she found their performance on Premiere lacking. I was hoping Max Tech would at least throw in a comparison of the Intel vs. M1 on Premiere, but that didn't materialize.

[paramvirgill]

can u also do a vid with M1 pro vs maxed out 16 inch to see what difference the fan adds on M1

Thank You
