The build quality of this generation's MacBooks has been superb.

Wish they made the mbp 14 and 16 in the same colors as the air

I've owned the M1 Pro with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage for a year and as a video editor, I can't believe how good these chips are. I just got done editing 4K BRAW footage in Final Cut and coloring in Davinci Resolve and it was blazing fast. I can see the benefits from the Max line of chips, but for what I do on a regular basis, the M1 Pro does it all. If you're an editor you're probably using proxies anyways, but this thing can handle BRAW without any issue. Exporting a ProRes 422 4K 10 minute-long fully colorized with a ton of nodes from Resolve took like 20 minutes. The fans didn't even start up. My only regret is I should've gotten the 32 GB of RAM!

Thank you so much for a review that is for everyday users. I struggled with all the jargon of other reviewers and non showed the outdoor direct sunlight. I definitely want one now.

[charliehatch]

This was the most useful guide for my final buying decision. Not only am I solid on which Mac I want you cleared up the specs I want. Great video.

I've seen a whole bunch of videos about MacBook Pro and you are really the first who recommend buying 32+ gigs or even choose more cores, you are amazing. I really felt bad because of those youtubers who make their videos just to check the mark in their schedule. Everybody was saying "i bought the basic config and this mac is amazing" but no one has ever said that to make some staff like video editing, or photoshop, or some work with 3d, or even programming but using something like Docker, running heavy applications you need to have more than 16 gigs of UNIFIED memory(that is a key really) and at least 1tb for ssd

I don't think I've ever unironically commented on YouTube. This video is genuinely great. Everything I needed to hear and put together really well. Thanks man.

[jasonmalozzi]

I too am a fan of silver vs. space grey. I currently have the midnight Macbook Air M2, and love it! Always on the lookout though. Great video!

[acromaniac]

This is exactly the video I was looking for to answer all my questions!!
Thank you Terren! I have now made up my mind to get the Mac Pro 14 with 32 gig of RAM and 1 TB SSD :)
Cheers to you and to the work you have put in here mate!
Much Appreciated :)

[ryanbotha]

i made it :) Just bought an m2 pro macbook pro 16 inch and this helped. Thank you :)

Just picked up the MBP 14" 16GB RAM 512 SSD 10CPU 16GPU. I mainly do moderate 4k video editing/photoshop occasionally - image processing. Probably didn't Need this much power but I bought the base M2 Air and knew it wasn't going to cut it so I found this one on a tight sale New and grabbed it.

[MrJaydee]

Glad i went w my 16” M2 pro 32GB and 4TB . Wont have to worry about anything .

I was at the same spot the past months. I got the 16" M1 Pro MBP in early 2022. In January of this year, I started to get back into programming, and it was nagging at me. I saw them in the refurbished store and this weekend I had a friend tell me he wanted to purchase a 16" MacBook Pro but did not have the money to spent CAD $3200, and so we started talking about mine. I write mine off in about 24 - 28 months so that I have some to spare in the run-up to the third full year. It made sense to sell him mine. Sold it to him, and he picked it up today. I turned around and ordered the 14" MAX 32Gb, as in the refurbished store we don't get to specify the upgrades as in the normal store. I need the 32Gb, the rest if gravy. For a brief moment I considered the 15" and even looked at the 16" again, but the refurbished store just did not have the right systems. I paid for rush shipping, and it could be here as early as tomorrow.

I’m a tech enthusiast. I used the M1 Pro MBP 14” for a year. I wasn’t happy with the sharp corners. While typing, it would dig into my wrist & it became a really big problem for me, so I moved to the M2 Air. I’ve been really happy. The display difference didnt bother me at all. 120Hz isn’t really a big thing in laptops I feel. All I miss are the speakers. I love the Air’s thinness and the lightness and also the battery!

[neigbor]

I was debating between silver and gray, I was leaning more towards silver and you affirmed it. 1:48 - Thank you 🙏🏼

[vladcode]

Hey, I initially placed an order for a 15 inch MacBook Air M2 with 16Ram and one terabyte…. But then realized for a couple hundred dollars more I can just get the M2 14 inch MacBook Pro. Or just get 512GB SSD 14 Pro for a decent price. My only gripe is I usually don’t connect to an external display and was wondering if 14 inches is big enough because I really don’t want to spend so much money on the 16 inch pro. Apple really needs to release an affordable external monitor that doesn’t cost $1500.

[hhiggins]

So good when you find exactly the video you need to answer all the questions you have! Ordering the exact configuration of your mac. Thank you!!

[glennsan]

I loved your video. I actually am torn between the 14 inch MacBook Pro max and the 16 inch MacBook Pro. I was planning on getting 32 gig of RAM like you mentioned so that does kind of lean me towards the max but I do love the real estate as you mentioned and I do intend to be traveling, doing video work in the future. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

For what I do, the M1 MBA is perfect and I love it. But sitting on the balcony, I wish the display could be brighter than 400 nits. The 14 M2 Pro has the ability to 1.600 nits (imitate HDR). That’s amazing. I would like to have this too.
