MacBook Pro 14' M1 Pro For Programming A Year Later (Real World Use)

Apple's 14" MacBook Pro is such a great tool that has been useful to a lot of software enginneers and programmers. But with Apple Silicon and Arm already established within the market for more than a year, can this live up to the hype ? Well take a look for yourself!

Finally found a video on what I was looking for, every YouTuber who reviewed this laptop was obsessed with just content creator's perspective, but I think software development is real use case of this machine

[whiteHorse]

As a Software Engineer who is looking for buying a new laptop, this video has a ton of information. I really liked this video and hope that many more videos for programmer's tech needs are made.

The 16” comes with a couple of bonuses: the display is larger, you will get more of that beautiful mini led display, the bezels look slimmer due to the ratios, the notch looks smaller for the same reason. The 16” gets a larger trackpad which is more convenient to use and the speakers are better giving richer sound. As far as battery life the 16” gets three hours more in terms of web browsing, and also gets a more powerful 140 watt power supply.

Being a software developer, I got the Mac Book Pro M1 16in for almost a year mostly cross platform and mobile development using MAUI. I got to say, it's worth the weight and extra battery life!

[dhiaeddinegharsallah]

Duuude! You're such an artist! The room design, the video, the editing, the shooting, the scripting, the 2 real reviews of the YouTubers etc... Such a wholesome video to watch!

I'm subscribed right away and I'm a big fan now!

You're gonna go far mate! Please keep it up!

There is no other Youtuber with such good colour-grading talents
Respect for ur high quality videos
Never stop are a legend

Still loving my 16in MacBook Pro. I went to see it in the store and thought the 14in was too small. It might be because I was used to working on my desktop with large monitors so I felt I would miss the screen real estate when working on the laptop. I think if you can carry it with you in a backpack, it'll feel really good when you sit somewhere and get to work.

Using this laptop as a data scientist and SWE, I have 0 regrets about shelling 1600 on this. Best decision of my life.

[techmentormaria]

I've used it for work and I thought it was insane. Also, your video color grading is insane. Love watching it!

An alternative to Docker is something called Orbstack, it's quite cool to use.

[Salok]

I'm finding your videos after I took the plunge to upgrade from a 13" M1 Pro to the 14" but happy to see it's worked well for you and many others. It definitely looks a lot less sleek in comparison from various angles, but the screen is a great improvement and I'm looking forward to taking advantage of the additional power once I start docking it.

[DisastrousCake]

As a professional software developer, this video is perfect. Bringing on other professionals was such a great addition. This was very informative and in-depth. You really helped me decide on my purchase (and save money by not going overkill on the upgrades).

[chinoconese]

Finally somebody makes a complete review of the ARM architecture machines for programmers (which I had to learn the hard way after getting one). It's quite a struggle to make work your usual dev environment depending on what you program and if you have to virtualize a lot with Docker, which was my case. I had to return my M1 and get a Dell XPS instead. Love your videos as usual💪

[michaelvicc.panedjr.]

LOVE IT! 14 INCH will be on my bucket list before this year end!

[priscillayg]

I’m already planning on getting this or the m2 so I appreciate your in depth review on how it works for programming. my 2016 13” pro is not powerful enough anymore. it’s ok when doing front-end projects but lags when I open lightroom 😅

[ehh]

I tried the MBP 14 keyboard in Best Buy, and being a nursing student that types a…lot… the keyboard feels so good I couldn’t describe it. It was just the perfect amount of click. The perfect amount of key travel. The perfect weight to the keys. The keys felt…buttery. Almost like typing on clouds that had some weird ass enchantment on them that made it feel so smooth and tactile. I’m currently saving to buy one, I’m in love haha

[yashpatil]

I was leaning towards the M2 Macbook Air due to better battery life and portability but M1 Pro 14' has a clear edge over it in other departments like screen, ports, power, etc. What should I pick help me out guys

[keepmgs]

Great quality and very informative video!

[TaylorBrauer]

Great video, Andres! You hit on about every point for development. I'm loving my 16in for JS and Java work.

[alexholt]

Awesome video! What is that blue/orange VSCode theme you’re using? Thanks!
