Did you pick up a new M2 MacBook and do you think it’s worth the upgrade? Thanks for watching, it is always appreciated.

13.0 installed pretty much confirms these were supposed to be released last year.

I’ve got 16inch m2max a few weeks ago and I recommend to anyone who is using a device before m1 macs. I’ve had 2019 i9 maxed out model and I can’t stress enough how big the performance difference between those machines. Yes, i9 was good, fine one but this is absolutely something else. Most reviews are based on video rendering however you’ll also see the difference if you’re a developer. Node, npm packages, mobile simulators everything works so good, it’s a joy to work with. On top of that, Ableton performance is crazy, multiple Serum and built-in synth vsts won’t cause any cpu spikes. Just make sure that you installed arm version of softwares / packages.

The first unboxer who tried not to tear the wrapper, love it!

[JoseDiaz-qwmg]

the best thing about this m2 14” mbp is that the m1 version will now be significantly cheaper, and they are still the best on its class

[ramiabdelmajid]

Thanks a lot for showcasing the disk speed of M2 max with 1TB. Glad it didn’t drop similarly to what happened on 512 gb ssd.

[manishindudhar]

Thank you so much Aaron… Would you suggest to upgrade from intel i9 2018 MacBook Pro with 32gb to this M2 Max say 64gb with 1 or 2 tb?
Also does getting higher tb internal ssd’s (say 2 or 4) improve overall performance of the MacBook Pro ?
Thanks Again!

3:48 Do I see some damage there on the chassis right after unboxing?

[personaldevelopment]

Hey, great content! One question; is it getting hot? I mean I currently use m1 pro 14 but will upgrade to m2 max 14 and wonder how hot it gets. My current m1 pro one not even gets hot but also hardly turn on fans any under hard workload which I like the most but I need some faster chip. Thanks in advance!

I've never been a Mac fan, honestly, I think most IT professionals are in the same boat, but Apple has truly been setting themselves apart. I find it hard to find something that can match the pleasing aesthetics and power of Mac but Windows or Linux based. Gonna have to pick one of these up soon to replace my current laptops.

WiFi 6E is way faster on my iPad Pro M2 I get over 1300 Mbps download and 1000 Mbps upload. Compared to WiFi 6 which usually maxes out at 700 Mbps download. If you only have a 500 Mbps plan or lower then Wifi 6E wouldn’t be worth it but for Gigabit plus it is.

You can pickup one in Brooklyn right now. I just watched an unboxing video from your colleague in NY.

[yvonnegraves]

Love watching your videos the M2 Max 14- inch MacBook Pro it’s super cool 😎 👍

[oh-noe]

I’m thinking of maybe waiting for the m3 pro and then I’ll probably get one. But fun to see these videos even though I don’t plan on getting one

[fimabra]

The new space grey looks like dark silver and it's really nice. I think I gonna take this color for my next MacBook.

[joserosales]

"If you have an Intel based Mac you should run and get this, great upgrade." Me looking at my mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13 inch 😂😅

[JobGreg]

awesome video. Can you tell us about the thermal throttling M2 vs M1

[Cory]

I assume your gonna return this one since you ordered a different spec, i wonder what apple does with all the returns? maybe use it for replacements.

[shivanshjha]

I have macbook pro m2, I don't know why it's not that famous .. but macbook pro m2 is so so so good .. and people saying touch bar was unnecessary, once you get used to that, without touchbar laptop seems so irritating without all the shortcuts ... seriously macbook pro m2 is so good

[jordan-hogt]

I waited for M2 so that any ARM migration bugs had time to be fixed. I hope I'm not disappointed.
