APPLE still makes glued together trash, ready for the recycle bin before you open the box... After 3 dead broken apple products, I've had enough... Especially after the ''Genius'' at the Apple store said, ''Oh, well. Just buy a new one !'' :-/
3:30 2 questions... a) where are the more recent cpus from Intel on the cinebench charts as comparison? I did not see 12 or 13th gen represented. b) I know thermal throttling can make a difference in overall performance. Any idea how the cooling solution on these laptops are doing in keeping the cpu working full speed for more than a minute?
I have a M1 MBP from $work and I’ve called it “beta hardware”. It takes a while to get packer to build an x86 image (because servers are still x86 - this was improving, but beta hardware would). I’ve also run into path issues with things like terraformer etc. The chip is solid, but it’ll take another year or so for it not to get in my way.
I really like how he pointed out to the people that "should" be waiting for the next M3 chips. You'll be waiting forever, but also miss out on some great deals on the older M1 that'll appear and you'll just waste your time and money by the time you're tired of waiting.
The quality is so good that you wonder why other tech channels even try 😂 I've been watching for over 8 years so it's crazy to see the growth. Great review, I am hesitating between the M1 and M2 and this helped a lot.
@Hamza Ahmad Thank you for your input! I have 2 youtube channels and a blog that I run. So a lot of editing and writing. Plus some designing that needs to be done every day and a lot of freelance work haha The M1 should be good for that right?
As for the M3, I know that Apple had a working Ray-tracing engine in their A-Series lineup planned and tested. But thermals in a phone form factor bombed it out. But what if that Ray-Tracing Engine were to be in the M3. Moving to a 3nm process node may give them the real estate to implement it in the laptop thermal envelope.
Hey! Everyone, I have a question regarding the Geekbench score that like the Apple optimizes these laptops for applications like final cut pro or others. Can`t they also optimise the Geekbench application and improve the score of these new laptops thus misleading ? p.s. thanks for the amazing video Marques
I really want to say just how much I respect what you do and your approach man. You deserve all the success and more for raising the bar and showing just how good BRvid can be.
Many thanks for making this video! Been reading and watching video reviews on the new Mac. I'm one of the ones who has an older mac (2012 here lol) but watching your video and Andres Vidoza's review have helped tremendously on my decision
8:34 The new Mac mini interested me too. I won’t be getting one (I have the M1 Max Mac Studio and LOVE IT) but it’s interesting to see the M2 Pro in a Mac mini. That being said… they should’ve made the M2 Pro variety in Space Gray. That’s a way better look for the mini, and I’m disappointed the Mac Studio didn’t also get that darker color.
I can't wait for the episode where MKB reviews his knew maxed out Mac Pro. I feel like Apple has already developed the machine and is just scrambling to get the matte black finish on the box perfect.
@TheEncryptedPartition aesthetics is part of the content? If you just wanted info then read an article. You are just barfing words hoping that one of them will stick to the board of meaning. Look, I can do it too. lol
the team actually purchased like a 20 thousand dollar camera gimble which is programmed to take shots like that, i thought it was pretty cool. I remember seeing a tiktok though about how marques thinks it ultimately wasn't worth it lol.
Curious about the return to the mag safe charger. I had a Circa 2017 MacBook Pro and needed to replace it in 2020 because the batteries were overheating and starting to bloat. Is the mag safe charger safer now?
Those intros are getting more and more fun each video. Like literally every intros and title screens are unique to the product it showcases. As if it was having fun and yet still feels professional. Kinda somewhat reminds me of the classic intros of you used to have.
They are so amazingly well done. This channel really could half ass it and probably be close to as successful as they are now. But they are always looking for ways to up their production quality. It makes these videos a joy to watch.
Be great to hear your thoughts on apple taking away the M1 pro / max laptops and now have their baseline pro laptop i.e the m2 pro £200 more expensive. Feels like a bit of a money grab. The M1 Pro is more than enough power for most pro apps not that I’m against an upgrade of power. Just a shame they’re essentially raising the price of a pro model by £200 for something no one was asking for. Will the m5 be £1k more expensive?
How does this dude get 3 million views within two days? This dude is the best tech reviewer on BRvid. I wish we would review TVs more often though. As far as the new MacBook goes, it looks dope; but I wish they didn't get rid of the Touch Bar. I have 2020 16 inch MacBook Pro and I love the Touch Bar. Also, adding the notch on top was unnecessary.
The writing of these videos are so on point it feels like he is having a spontaneous conversation with the audience. This is so hard to pull off! BUT: It's not proper sandal shame if you aren't wearing white socks on black sandals. Wearing black socks is cheating!
I'm over here rocking an M1 MacBook Air, and desperately looking for a reason to upgrade. But...I can't! Literally, this has been the best laptop I've ever owned. I'll probably have it another three years and it'll run dependably because Apple did SUCH a knockout job. They really hit the ground running!
I personally really like the touchbar. I have the M1 macbook pro and its always so much fun using the touchbar and I never understood why it got so much hate
Great video as always, love your work. I have to say I have always been a PC person, I mainly was into gaming in my spare time as I grew up. My brother was the sports ball guy, I was the tech gaming enthusiast. We had MACs growing up and PCs, I always gravitated towards the PCs. My new job had the option to go PC or Macbook. I do a lot of data processing and the PC was what I thought I would need to help flow better. there are still things I can do on a PC with MS suite better. I do have to say though, I have really come around to the Macbook. I have an older intel chip one, I believe a 2020. I really love the built in fingerprint scanner, I've really liked the touch bar for quick access on some stuff. I do dual boot windows with bootcamp if I need a windows application that isnt on Mac like Access. My only complaints about this system are 1 post ventura update, my mac will randomly shut down during sleep due to an error. 2 doing multiple monitors on this macbook was hell and I had to buy expensive special hardware for it (I need multi screens on my working set up) and I can only have two additional monitors even with the special hardware I have. The new upgrade sounds nice, but I am pretty sure you cannot dual boot windows on it. Also I would miss the touch bar, I dont use it all the time but man when I do I love it and kind of want one on my next PC laptop.
@Fantasytky I never said a single word about mkbhd being better than ltt. Sure ltt production quality is wonderful but all they do contentwise nowerdays is praise 3 sponsored laptops to the sky a week with some clickbait mixed in between. Sure they visit a factory from time to time but that's it
@Einfach Fredhaft Gaming if ltt do nothing impressive then mkbhd do nothing. All you fking guys care only about the intro production quality. Content? Biased like shit is fine for you guys. You guys don't care about content. Just see how ltt went to micron semiconductor production floor to show you how ssd is produced and you guys bash ltt for doing nothing and praise mkbhd just for the fking intro every time?
@BTTRSWYT were talking about he PRODUCTION quality, like the editing, at least i am, i know marques know more about tech and so do many others, but mr who’s the boss editing is way cooler in my opinion
I decided to stop waiting for a M2 Pro when I wanted to upgrade from my 13 M1 MBP in November when all things combined (welcome offer on a new credit card, cash back on that card, it being on sale, being able to sell my original M1) it came out to just under 2 grand before selling my M1 MBP. Loved it since and since I'm not in the category that needs a super uber powerful laptop not looking to upgrade (I would have gone with the Air if they had a 15 inch with ProMotion because I'm sensitive to refresh rate)
The thing that still blows my mind about these laptops is the performance while running on battery power. Windows laptops simply can’t compare in that regard. Additionally, the battery life is outstanding. My laptop will last for several days where windows laptops will die after only a few hours of normal use.
I've been waiting soooo eagerly for this machine. I'm on a 2015 15" Macbook Pro, almost maxed out in spec. I have constantly maxed that machine out since new, but with the saga of the butterfly keyboards, removal of magsafe, etc etc... I had to wait so damn long for a replacement. Apple Silicon was an amazing swap, but I've also had to wait for the devs of the specific applications to support them. Now that is the case, I can look at finally get a workstation level machine in a laptop that can run Final Cut and astrophotography software.
Can definitely see why they didn’t need an event just to update a couple of Macs from M1 to M2.. people would have just complained that it was an underwhelming event!
Really excited for the Mac Mini review! In my opinion it is affordable and powerful, and it is the product which will push the Apple Silicon series up the market.
The production quality of this videos is the reason why I watch every single video from MKBHD, even the ones about stuff I don't care that much. It's amazing to watch the awesome work they all do with every single aspect of the video from start to finish.
Just a comment on the chart topping single core cinebench score. Saw 1700 for m2 max, but I recall getting around 1600 on my 5800x. I think the 13th gen Intel and 7000 series and chips hit over 2000. M2 max looking great nonetheless :)
What gave away that the "event" video was filmed months ago was the weather. I live a couple of miles away from Apple Park and it's been raining a lot. The skies in the video are fairly good, so probably wasn't filmed in the past month at least.
Funny how the first thing I’ve been looking forward to after seeing the M2 Macbook pros was this video! Says a lot about how MKBHD is a cultural reference.
I’d have an M1 Pro 16” MacBook Pro already if it still had a Touch Bar. I don’t think the Touch Bar was an issue, but rather a huge feature that third parties neglected. The new MacBook Pros needed to have a physical function row AND a Touch Bar, which solves both issues.
Honestly, I got the 14" M1 Pro last year. For my needs, it's already completely OP and I can't imagine needing more performance. 20% more would be completely wasted on me.
This is great and all, but what happens if something needs to be replaced? Do I need to pay half of what I already paid to get it fixed? Or can I get inside to replace something obvious like the battery or SSD?
@Adam J Were you paying attention at all? He’s got sweet opening shots and a sweet intro. He’s also very creative about his opening shots as well as his review. I doubt you could do better. 😂
Huh? There’s countless BRvidrs with great production. He just sat in one spot and talked to the camera the whole video. While pasting in a couple clips.
Thanks for the video! Love it. I always come and watch your stuff if I'm looking for reviews 👍. Could you please compare the M2 Macbook Air vs new Macbook Pro? There is such a small price difference, is it worth the extra money?
Unpopular opinion: I actually love the touchbar and use it all the time for taking screenshots, volume and brightness sliders, easy access to VOIP apps controls, app drawer access etc
Question: What about Apple’s M2 Max chip with 30-core GPU vs Apple’s M2 Max chip with 38-core GPU 🤔 That’s my buying dilemma ordering the MacBook Pro 14-inch with Apple’s new M2 Max chip …curious about thoughts which new M2 Max chip to choose ?
Hey Marques, thanks for the review, but one thing I haven’t been able to understand yet is: how does the M2 Max compare to the M1 Ultra? Can you include that in a future video?
Congratulations You have been selected among few of my subscribers who are receiving some free giveaway, please endeavour to reach out and calm your prize🎁
I just wish they made the 16 inch in a more basic/cheaper spec. I like having a large screen, but I simply do not need performance in a laptop, and I am convinced that most buyers do not need it either.
5:06 I actually didn’t know the new MacBook Pros had mini-LED. Before I bought my M2 iPad Pro (12.9”) I would’ve been interested in that… but the mini-LEDs of this iPad’s screen are the worst part of the device. I upgraded my TV last year from a typical LED to an LG NanoCell and hated it because of the local dimming zones. I exchanged it for an OLED, and obviously that’s superior. But honestly, if OLED didn’t exist… I’d have a typical LED TV. As much as the fully backlit panel isn’t great for contrast, at least it was consistent. The blocks of lit pixels around lit areas in contrast to the true black areas away from those light areas makes the device honestly look defective. Knowing that mini-LED has the same issue as those NanoCell TVs (albeit slightly improved) kills my interest… this iPad has vignetting all the time and at night the local dimming of the mini-LEDs is hideous. It’d make me miss my A12X iPad Pro from 2018 if the rest of the M2 one wasn’t so great.
I can't wait for my work machine (maxed out i9 16") to come up for replacement in a few months, these things are so, so much faster and don't wind up cooking themselves under anything harder than web browsing. Imagine that statement 5 years ago! Looking forward to ditching an absolute top of the line i9 for a tiny ARM chip that's basically a bunch of really fancy smartphone processors glued together because the i9 is too slow, hot and power hungry. I don't love any company, and I certainly don't love Apple, but I couldn't see myself getting a non-Apple laptop at this point. Desktop is still Windows for gaming, but the M1/M2 is just objectively better for mobile devices in every way - unless you have to pay for your laptop, holy shit are they expensive
I love my M1 Macbook Air, but as I get further into my degree, the code I will be writing will give this thing some struggles. I do some football pxp analytics but filtering out 10 years of data takes over a minute. Some more power would definitely be ideal, and the Air not having many ports (I use a second monitor) is tough too. I have a bit of wire Jenga going on between my console, monitor, chargers, etc. An HDMI and more than 2 USB-C ports would go a long way for me in a new MBP.
I had a 2012 MBP that cost me $2,900 fully spec’d out in 2012… I just upgraded to a $1,099 M2 Air… insane how much faster it is, and how far it’s come.
Amazing production and nice review. Hearing these come out honestly just makes me hope to find a good M1 MacBook deal! Was literally looking for laptops as this video dropped
@MrHawkyy Not for my workflow, I have a desktop PC with an RTX 3060ti and 32gb of memory that I use as a render station for VFX and graphics work, that system is about ~$2200 and my macbook is faster than that machine for everything other than rendering, and even in a pinch I could easily render on my macbook. Also, the display the macbook is worth so much to me for what I do, having what is essentially a small portable pro display XDR on the go is incredibly valuable to me
@Eden Thompson Thats the price of a fully fledged desktop or laptop with dedicated graphics. Probably ALOT faster than a macbook and much better value.
I'm so curious if M2 Max are capable of 3D animation and rendering it into a video. I have an underpowered Macbook Air from 2017 and I just use it for basic everyday tasks because it can't handle 3D animation, I have a more powerful Windows computer for 3D work. But I always loved the battery life of the Apple laptop, and how portable it is. If M2 Max can do 3D animation or 3D modeling, that would be amazing.
snagged the base model M1 Macbook pro on sale for $1500 and while I feel like that was a killer deal, the tech consumer in me wants the newest and best thing lol. But I'm sure the base M1 pro will still cruise through music production and other basic needs.
I know the GPU performance on these machines is amazing, but if you don't edit videos and they are not good for gaming, what use people will have for all that power ?
This video overall was so good, beginning, ending, everything was so perfect it feel’s impossible. This is why i watch this guy, motivates the hell out of me to start yt.
