M3 Macbook Pro Max 16': The Best Laptop of 2024!

The Macbook Pro M3 Max is the best laptop I have ever owned and I would even go as far as to say its the best laptop of 2024. From the build quality to the software, literally never had such an enjoyable experience on a laptop before. The ecosystem is also a really nice touch. I have always been a very careful spender but this laptop is absolutely insane. I will be using this for a very very long time.

My Macbook Pro Specs: M3 Max 16" with 2TB SSD Storage, 16-Core CPU, 40-Core GPU, 16-Core Neural Engine, 64GB RAM

You know the macbook series currently is so powerful, that Marques Brownlew still use his 2021 M1 Max Macbook to edit his red camera footage on the run.

I love how you did the speaker comparison ! Ive never seen anyone do it like that. Normally they compare MacBook to MacBook.

I used Mac from the late 80 until late 90s then because of gaming and work I used Windows until the M1 came out. While I still have a gaming system my primary system is an M1 Pro MBP that still does everything I need from an audio/video or Unix standpoint. Congrats, I know you will enjoy it and it will last for years! The M3 does support ray tracing as well so if you decide you do want to play some games you actually can :) Enjoying the consistent content again!

In regards to durability 3 of my 4 sons have 14" MBPs (2 M1 Pro and 1 M2) that they carry in their backpacks to school / college and use all the time. Thus far none of them have had any issue with them at all nor have I had issues with my 16".

Make sure to put a little bit of krytox those switches 😂

[concerge]

that's a great keyboard you built

[raynsvolleyball]

Just got one too, 100% worth it for the portability & form factor for travelling

An amazing vid as always, Keep it up kiddo <3.

[ragz]

I really loved this video. It really helped me in my decision to get one. Well done! You broke it down in the realest way……Thank you!

[akin]

The performance of an M3 Max is on par with a nuclear weapon for video editors. Crazy performance power!

Thanks for this most excellent review.

I’m gonna wait for the MacBook Pro m4 max chip announcement at next month Apple event

[Mbro-dqdo]

great video. My M1 Max Is incredible. 16" 32gb RAM. its incredible. runs linux VMs flawlessly. I just got it sealed brand new for 1900$ on ebay. Its sick and will easily last 5-6 years

I love it when regular users gives their honest view of these devices, because at times for me when I wanna make a decision to buy this kinda tech I stopped watching some of these high tech reviewers bcoz they are somehow biased

Great review. I’ve been on the fence between this and a Mac Studio. The portability, especially for music production given that I move around, is key.

If you hover over the expand button it will give you the options to snap your windows in side by side

[qualquer-bobagem]

Very nice review! Congrats. Other thing: what mic are you using? Very nice quality.

[vovical]

Nice to see this review. I am considering getting one for Uni later this year and wasn't sure on Black or Silver... Definitely prefer Black but was worried Silver would hold better over time and with scratches.

I won't play games so much on it but I like that I can play some games like Civ as they have native Mac versions which go through Rosetta


Last Mac was a 2017 MBP and was by far the worst laptop I've ever owned... Apple Silicon solved pretty much all the issues I had with it though

[matttferrari]

If you hold the green button in the top left corner of your window you can pick where it will snap to!

[icyba]

wow this keyboard has so much features

[adequatequality]

The MacBooks are truly a marvel in computing considering how freaking efficient their CPUs are. I would pick a Mac over an iPhone if I could pick a single Apple product to purchase for the rest of my life
