The winners are who bought the M1 when it came out. There’s always that feeling that you’re missing out on something if you don’t have the newest model. In this case M1 owners haven’t basically missed out on anything with the new models and it’s been in use for three years already. I’d skip the M3 because I feel like we’re bound to get a bigger upgrade coming up with the M4.

I'd love to hear about the comparison between 14" Macbook Pro with M3 Pro, and the 14" (or 16") Macbook Pro with M2 Max. Since M2 Max refurb will be close in price to the M3 Pro line of systems. Also has the change in architecture made any improvements to thermal management (throttling with the 14" system with M3 Max)?

My 2020 M1 MacBook PRO has 91% BATTERY HEALTH after 4 years……… INSANE.

Thank you. I use an M1 Pro for architecture. Still using it.

Great vid thanks. I am a music producer. I have a M1 macbook air and i hardly have ever seen a CPU overload. Its a little monster. All this with no fans!! A music producer's dream.

I don’t know how impressive any of the M3 numbers are. It has 128mb of ram vs 64mb on the other 2. A fair comparison would be same configuration or close enough to it. Either way I see no reason to upgrade from my M2 Max even if I had an M1 Max I’d feel it was more than capable.

How much does the higher memory in the m3 affect the benchmarks?

[lesstat]

We need a video comparing the m3 pro with the macbook air 😁

[stevend]

How much of a difference does the M3 having 128gb ram make? Not exactly a fair comparison.

Saf I’ve been watching you for about 9 years 😮 since the Galaxy S5 or S6 I think!

[LeoTheLion]

Title needs changing, you have M2 Max showing twice :)

[maxieroo]

Is the M2 Max the 30 or 38 core GPU version??

I just ordered an M3 Max MacBook Pro and I’m upgrading from a m1 Mac mini. I know it’ll be more powerful overall… but I feel a bit slighted on how it’s compared to the M1 Max. Thoughts?

200 pounds for 16Gb storage upgrade and 600 pounds for a 2 TB SSD that is basically robbery.

[nikkisixx]

Trying to decided between a Mac refurbished M1 Max 64gb 2 tb or a M3 pro 32gb 1 tb. Anyone have any thoughts?

[biohazard]

I'm a videographer/photographer (shoot with a Sony A7IV, edits on DaVinci Resolve) that's currently in the market for a MacBook pro. Debating between the 16-inch M1 max with 32 or 64gb of ram (about $2, 400-$2, 800). Or should I go for a 16-inch M3 Pro with 18gb ram (priced at $2, 700)? I'm waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday to see if there are any further discounts on the M1 Max MacBooks. But any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated as to where my money would be better off spent.

I just ordered a 14 inch M2 Max from Costco for $2, 200, I think for that price it's a steal, I don't need the M3 Max.

My laptop (MacBook pro 2012 design) will be ten years old next year so it’s time for me to upgrade. My dream laptop would be the M3 max version of the MacBook Pro. I will miss having a CD-ROM though. My laptop still has that.

[jpjay]

a barely used M1Max for HALF the price of a new M3Max.
which one would you buy?

[juanjorojasfilms]

the review I was looking for thank you very much
