Ageing TOO Well? | 16” M1 Max MacBook 2 Years Later | Long-Term Review

My M1 Max MacBook Pro 16” review & recap after 2 years, did it age too well?

Now that I’ve used the M1 Max MacBook Pro nearly every day for over 2 years, I do have some thoughts to share, how it's aged and how it compares to the current generation MacBook Pros and whether you should still get one more than 2 years after its initial release.

Thanks so much for watching!

Oh, and btw if you're interested here's the wallpaper I made:

Same for my M1 Pro. Incredible hardware.
I don't know how anyone could return to Windows laptops in their current state after trying out ARM-based Macbooks.

I love your video editing skills and find your voice very soothing. Keep up the good work 🚀

[TheRealAirox]

Holy your production quality is absolutely amazing! I just saw that you only have 162 subs! well now 163 looking forward to more tech videos

apple should hire you for their next product introduction narration videos. Jony Ive 2.0

I gotta be honest. I am a gamer at heart and I made the switch because, I wanted to just use my laptop as something other than a gaming device away from my desk. My gaming laptop was amazing and had all the power to play any game I wanted. I am getting older and realzied that I needed a chancge. The Macbook Pro M1 Max with 32gb of ram was my choice. I have now gotten into editing my gaming clips on my free time and even posted a few on social mdeia as my hobby. I love my 14' macbook rpo and I will be using this for years to come. Thank you for an amzing video and keep up the good work!

I bought the M2 Pro 16 inch and usually when I make big purchases I get extreme buyers remorse but this time around I have never been this happy after spending so much money on something lol. Apple killed it with the Silicon MacBooks period.

It's still a fantastic machine. I've never got it to really break a sweat and I'm sure it will still serve me well in 5 years time for photo and video editing.
I bit the bullet and got a Studio Display along — what an amazing display. Only one cable for signal, power, USB makes a very clean desk and gives 5 free ports in total.

Good quality video. Just interacting to feed the algorithm.

[EchterBonito]

Insane videoquality! Liked it

Does the Mac has use marks from the dock stand?

[crushlux]

Great video, the M1 isn’t the only one exceeding on quality in this video😉

[Mandaramaster]

Quality video! What spec is yours? Not sure you mentioned it, or I'm an idiot (the latter being most likely)

Hi, I also want to buy 16 inch m1 pro, but not sure which one to pick..
The m1 pro or m1 max, I don't do extreme tasks and stuff But I still Want A powerful machine because I think It will last a long time
so My question is ..
How many hours do you get by using the m1 max by normal web browsing and having a lot of tabs open? and do you think m1 pro will have longer battery life?
and if I have the more powerful m1 max will It last longer?
and is the battery life better or worse because its powerful?
thank you

I have the same configuration. It’s a joy working in illustrator, photoshop and even after effects.

One problem that keeps occurring though is when I attach a projector of an external display (not the apple ones) directly in the hdmi port. If I play fullscreen video the m1 crashes after 10 to 15 minutes.

Seems a pretty common problem. Apple can’t seem to care to fix it.

This means that I do my video for professional presentations with my iPhone!

Pretty sad for such an expensive machine..

Hello, since it works with video editing, I would like your opinion on m1 max. I want it to edit music videos with a lot of EFX in 6k 422 10bit or I don't know if I should go for window with an i9 13900k rtx 4070 super

[Shawshank]

Well edited. But mouth slightly away from mic. 
And i agree, i bought mine last year after the M2 came out and i've barely scratched the surface in terms of fully utilising its power.
Its also stopped me justifying getting an iPad
But not having to hear fans again has single handedly made it worth it.
I'll probably only upgrade if there is a redesign with face ID, or i stop getting macOS updates

football manager……truely helpful information.

Bro how many cycles do you have on your macbook ? it looks like you NEVER use it unplugged haha. My 16 m1 Pro has 83% of battery health after 2 years

[SamFigueroa]

How much RAM does your MBP have? I have an M1 Max with 32 GB and occasionally do notice stuttering in FCP or need to sometimes close apps like Photoshop or Lightroom while editing video.

[qstorm]

If your are buying a max chip, I would to think you bought it with the intention of it being relevent after 2 years. Most people will be keeping their machine between 4 years minimum. I would go for the latest model unless someone is giving a deep discount on a used one.

how is your keyboard not shiny. i've been using my m3 pro for a month now and some keys are already showing shine.
