This thing is awesome

The graph 3:51 has an error. The M3 Pro bar graphs are correct but the numbers should read - 138 | 1040
The 1690 value is for the M3 Max
Also the animation at 1:35 is reversed (if you were wondering about airflow directions)

best part of the video is seeing the workflow of Dave

i really love how you said: 600 and 500 instead of 599 and 499 respectively.
When you said that, I realised that I had unconsciously that these were only 500 and 400 dollars. It brought me back to earth.

[SirSethery]

I’m so glad they finally made the switch to 16GB so we can buy the base model without thinking about it. That $200 for an extra 256GB storage is so silly when you can use external storage.

Dave’s reviews are always so incredibly elegant and concise, it’s so soothing in this modern world.

People who complain about the charging for the Magic Mouse seem to be missing the fact that it’s a terrible mouse in the first place that shouldn’t be used. 3:06

The M-series continues to amaze me. It's still crazy to me how fast these computers have become. I still have an M1 air for music production and STILL blazes through every project I have.

As a kid i played around on my dads first computer - you had to insert a compact cassette (yes, like for music back in the day) and wait for about half an hour for the program load from magnetic tape in order to do things on a green monochrome monitor. I remember it quite well well considering it was so long ago.
Today you can record 4 x 4k Streams in real time on a computer that fits in the palm of your hand. I don't think enough people realize how insane that is and how far we have come. Amazing.

[Wezzybman]

You pointed something out that I think is an explanation for the power button on the bottom. The ventilation on the bottom. By putting the power button down there, it ensures that people keep the ventilation open, which is necessary for such a powerful but compact device

[Chard]

Apple should've named it the Mac Nano. 😂😂

Anyone else try to clean the hair off the screen at @3:12?

[BenyaminLorit]

Completely unrelated and different products but just in terms of sizing, this is the kind of size and approach to space-efficiency I wished modern gaming consoles had. There are obviously legitimate reasons for them to be as big as they are given the heat that those things generate and the working temperature they have to maintain at long stretches of time but just as a tech fan, there's just something about high performance machines in compact form factors that appeal to me and nothing screams "progress" quite like it.

[comebackata]

Dave doesn't follow a script! Damn!

[Testimony]

Okay I waited for Dave’s review concise and straight to the point no glazing throughout the entire video non stop. 💯

[zihaosong]

Great to see your setup and how to switch between those 4 cameras seamlessly real time! Your videos have always been so smooth, thank you Dave for all the effort!

[Gmonkeystar]

I've been following tech for close to ten years now and I cannot recall a more impressive piece of hardware at this kind of price point. This is a real game changer.

[bryans]

My base model M4 mini is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I already have the peripherals, including external storage, so I'm all set. I've been enjoying your content for quite a while, so I finally subscribed.

[JohnNo]

what I like in your videos are the no BS style.
to the point, with the data you have and everyone expects to hear.

[AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Your setup is very impressive. I run a MacStudio m1 Ultra maxed out as well. I was really disappointed when we didn't get a M3 this offer this year.

[jammin]

The baseline model is great value, but this just highlights how ridiculous the upgrade costs are. £599 for the base model, but if you want to double the amount of RAM and SSD, it's another £600 on top. You're literally better off buying two baseline Mac Minis instead so that you're also doubling your CPU power... (yeah I know it's not quite the same, but still, it's incredible to me that they would charge a whole machine's worth extra for a fairly modest upgrade).
