16” MacBook Pro (M1 Max) 6 Month Review!

My M1 Max MacBook Pro 16” review after 6 months, is it still worth it?

Now I’ve used the M1 Max MacBook Pro every day for 6 months, would I still recommend it? I’ll show you what I use it for, how it’s performed and whether the 14” or 16” model is better suited.

Thanks for watching, Chris.

Hope you enjoyed my long term review. What do you want to see next?

I got the 16 inch version with M1 Pro processor and 1 TB SSD. I gotta say Apple nailed on this one. Battery is like a double comparing to 2019 version and I haven’t heard any fans plus didn’t get any throttling. Also the screen resolution is fantastic the only downside about this mac is the weight is heavier than 2019 version but I don’t mind I use it mostly on Desk.

I have the 14” MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, and it’s awesome! 💻 Sometimes, I wish I had the larger screen, but I value portability. I also use the MacBook Pro with an external monitor for more screen real estate (but unfortunately, most monitors can’t compare to the MacBook Pro’s display).

OH! Is the air intake still razor sharp like the 2015? I couldn’t STANDDD the sharp aluminum on it. It cut me!

[GeekStreet]

Great follow up, was looking forward to you doing this.

16" MacBook Pro is perfect for me because I use multiple applications at the same time on my laptop, like I play video games in window mode while I'm working on Illustrator and at the same time I open Facebook and YouTube in Chrome. So big screen, lots of CPU and GPU cores and 64GB of RAM is perfect for me.

I have M1 Air and I bought it October. My battery health is still 100% as I do not charge it when it is plugged in my monitor

[NenadSapungin]

Nice video! I think I’ll end up going with the 16” just to avoid any possibility of the fans kicking in. I really despise any type of fan noise 😰 great video!!

[grim..sentinel]

I have the 16” M1 pro. Thing is an absolute beast and I love it more each day I use it

[DevinShaw]

good advice on the ssd, my old one was 256 and its barely enough for just applications alone

[heberarguello]

I’m going for the 14” Inch M1 Pro, because of the portability most of all. I think the base model with 1tb will be more than powerful enough for me, I’ll be using it just for graphic design.

[WilfredOkajevo]

hello spawnpoint, I got the M1 Pro 14 about the same period as you, everything you've said is true!. This is a phenomenal device.
Great long term review buddy!

I’m sorry……honestly I am in love with the way you shoot and edit man honestly it’s just perfect. Honestly I would love it if you were able to do like lessons or how you shoot, record your voice and edit oh and also how you use photoshop. I am honestly amazed at your work.

Was gonna check out my hotel, but gonna watch this first on their wifi before I do lol

[arhamhasan]

Very nice video 👍🏻 waiting for this review from a long time 😊

[XZero]

At first I was set for 16'' because I had the 15'', but ended up getting the 14'' due to limited budget, in the end I'm glad I got the 14'' as I have been moving a lot recently and often work on the go; the 16'' would have been a bit too clunky for on the go use. Also the 14'' can handle 4K video footage editing in Final Cut without a hitch. For the iPhone I agree, I can't get used to how narrow the screen is on the regular iPhone Pro and its just giving me a headache when I use it; for the next one, will get the Pro Max.

[finishers]

Excellent review Chris. Covered all bases in a simplistic manner. If given a choice, I'd personally go for a 14 inch version. Looks more portable and comfortable to use.

[micahalan]

I've had mine for 5months and I've dropped 1% in capacity. I plug/charge my 16"MacBook Pro between 2-4 times a day (work projects are quite GPU intensive) but I charge to less than 80%, I hardly ever charge to or exceed 80% even if I go out.

[valdisgerasymiak]

After 5 months with 14" m1 pro I have 100% battery max capacity. I work only from battery and charge avr. 1/day. Also I like to charge slow from 20W charger - also increases health.

[Pandorum]

Great video. I will be going with the 14 inch M1 Pro model.
