2 extra inches of Mac is a BIG difference! - 16 inch M1 MacBook Pro

The 14 inch MacBook Pro has remade Apple’s iconic notebook, but the 16 inch may be what many professionals reach for. Are they getting a more powerful laptop, or simply a larger one?

[OTechnology]

I sometimes can't tell if Anthony is talking about M1 Max or M1 Macs lol Apple's naming scheme needs an improvment.

[JimiArchive]

I’ve never owned a MacBook in my life but I always watch these videos because Anthony is in the thumbnail 😏

[NickyG-NZ]

Damn Anthony has really become a top tier host, he's an absolute delight to watch!

[erickauffmann_official]

Is that a MacBook on your pants or you are just happy to see me? Best underrated line from Antony 😂

[peppyrobo]

Girls: “2 inches doesn’t matter”
Anthony: “ boy, check out how much 2 inches can do!”

[guitaripod]

I've had the MaxBook for a week now. I'm an iOS Engineer. It's the first machine I have ever owned that I know is overkill for my needs. It's beyond good.

[Princess_kitty]

Anthony is such a legend, doing that intro with a straight face, he's the G.O.A.T of LTT

[HVDynamo]

I like the visual comparison sitting next to the old 15.4" cMBP. I'm still rocking my mid 2012 15.4" cMBP and thinking about upgrading, or waiting one more year for them to iron out any new issues that come to light in the new design. I don't currently do much intensive stuff on it, but being stuck on Catalina is kind of a bummer as that's now 2 generations behind.

ProTip: Press Alt while scaling an image to resize it from its center. Additionally, if you also press Shift while doing so, now you're scaling it proportionally! Neat, right?

[DozleZabi-kpmj]

I’ve had my 16” M1 Pro for a month and its by far the best fastest computer I’ve ever used. For typical work, web browsing and streaming HD & 4K video I’ve yet to hear the fans spin up even once. At most it gets slightly warm to the touch, never uncomfortably hot. The battery life is incredible. The screen is by far the best I’ve ever seen in a laptop and the sound is by far the best I’ve heard. I’m really happy with it and I’m sure I’ll be using it for years to come.

[amesmedia]

As a 3D artist, I find the M1 chip super compelling, especially as blender 3.1 is on the horizon. I would love to see more builds and videos focused on creative use!

[PharaohNai]

Even after buying the 16inch I still continue to watch and enjoy these videos. I never thought I would continue watching them even after buying it

[RB-ppcx]

the intro was beautiful😭. The LTT writers are so underrated. Big ups to Anthony as well for being a wonderful host

[PopStrikers]

Loving my M1 Pro. Being able to work at the coffee shop or at a friends place all day in a single charge with zero throttling has already justified the cost for me. I’ve had it since launch and still haven’t heard the fans spin up yet, even with Unity previews running. My old gaming laptop sounded like a jet, ran slow, and lasted for maybe 40 minutes on battery.

[Xhaphan]

The way Anthony speaks, pauses at the right places...really enjoy watching vids where he is the host. Keep it up!

[gvny]

“But the entire M1 Pro and Max line up has a unique combination of performance, efficiency and endurance, rolled into a form factor that's pleasing to use, with fewer compromises that what we're used to. You're also getting a display that's unmatched in the PC world, speakers that are legitimely some of the best in the industry and a tightly integrated ecosystem that speaks to many. […] Apple is moving in the right direction, and this is a major step towards what could be a brighter future for the industry. After all, wherever Apple goes, the PC surely follows.”
I wholeheartedly agree with what Anthony is saying. If I wasn't so attached to the Linux ecosystem and the x86 architecture, I think I would already have bought a new MacBook Pro, despite being anti-Apple since a long time. I am looking forward to laptops with a day long battery (high hopes for the new Intel BIG.little architecture), a screen and speakers as good as the MacBook ones and the shift back to sensible IO, thickness and keyboard travel key.

There's no tougher performance test for macs than running a ms teams videoconference, really wondering if it works better on these devices

[wlaaaaaaaaaa]

I’m in music production, and I’ve never had a 16in for my mobile computer. Must say it’s amazing having the extra screen space on the move! The only downfall I’ve noticed is car rides/planes are not nearly as suited as the 14in/air in tight spaces. Especially after I pull out an audio interfaces.

[FeorgeGloyddd]

This 16in mbp is exactly what I needed. Pairs well with a gaming PC

[chompiechomp]

Gaming on Mac would have been further accelerated if they have embraced Vulkan. Hoping that Apple would reconsider this.
