Dipublikasikan tanggal 22 Jan 2023
It's an (impressive) bump instead of a quantum leap.

That robot intro ❤
You mean PO-28 or are we talking different things?
what’s the name of that song???!??!
song is crazy 😝
What is the name of the song
@Rodrigo Mirazo how i feel 20syl remix
Looks like your production quality is also increasing incrementally by 20% every year, it's awesome to see you and your team expressing your passion!
No, it's more like 37%.
@Mohsin Uddin bruh
@SIKEboi699 They hated Jesus because he told them the truth.
@Mohsin Uddin they hated me because i sold a pack of wolf for free in chickens coop of old pention less grandma
Audio was better in the m1 max/pro review but this is fine
The production quality has gone up and up and up and doesn't stop. Great work Marques and team!
Bad joke, your comment as well as the "review" with basically barely any points.
@GOAT OF DUTY holy someone is mad looking for attention all your comments are hate leave YT and go outside smoke some trees eat some grass and talk to some sheep’s bro
I purchased the M2 Pro without knowing it had just come out and I am blown away. I've had two MBPs prior to this, a 2010 MBP that lasted 7ish years (still runs) and a 2017 MBP that was plagued with issues (many many keyboard replacements) until the SSD died. I almost switched to a Linux build but Apple's OS and the tools I've come to appreciate are just too practical for daily non-nerd stuff. (shoutout Raycast for a beautiful spotlight alternative). Anyways, this addressed all the hardware shortcomings and complaints I had, and with it being second-generation silicon that has had time to mature the ecosystem is excellent. Couldn't recommend it enough, this thing rips.
I love raycast. So good. Zero alternatives on linux, windows for this software. There are tools like it but they are so far behind it's not even a comparison.
Raycast is king! Literally the first thing I Install (and recommend to install) on a new Mac
Similar experience here. I was a Linux user for years until I got the MBP 2017 15". The keyboard is trash (not very comfortable to use,) and it failed pretty quicly. The battery needs replacement. But still, with those details, I love it. I didn't take it to service, since it's my only computer. But I cannot go back to using Linux. The usability is a dream.There are so many litthe things that I could do in Linux by hand, but that here they just work as they should. I'll get an M2 MBP now that they fixed the damage that Johnny Ive did with his obsession with thin hardware.
Sleek video editing quality, but also the review feels more grounded unlike those usual company-style reviews. Great vid, Marques and the team!
I am impressed by this man's ability to present tech products.. That intro felt like an apple event. Great job MKBHD team!.
That intro felt like an apple event. Great job MKBHD team!

Seems Apple is also influencing creators with their presentations and advertisements.
Better than anything Apple has done you mean.
Crazy intro immediately hooked
Another marques ball gargler
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.
If you find the M1 laptops on a good deal, id recommend them. 90ish% of people probably wont notice the difference between m1 and m2. I have the m1 pro and i havent been able to push it to the limits yet lol. Depends on your workflow tho obviously
@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?
@Hamza Ahmad definitely m1 is enough
@Awa Ndiaye M1 pro should be more than good enough for that so yes if you get a good deal on it, go for it over the M2
practically the same price to be honest.
I just love how much production went into you showing us the same gray box we've been getting for quite some time now.
It’s his job?
Yeah when I buy a Pro laptop the color would be the first thing I care about
You and your team makes such great videos. Full of info while still be very entertaining. Thank you.
Still one of my favorite tech channels!
Nice apps
Hi
best 👍
Nice👍
Very nice
Man, congratulations on your superb production quality. You set the standard so high for the rest of tech ID-tvrs!
Man these intros are super crazy! Kudos to the team for hours if not days of planning and execution to render out the finest of intros!!
One of the extremely few times that I have rewind an intro three times.
Ugh, I swear yall just come here to watch the intros...and even this one was nothing special.
@Jun Rosamura it’s sad to see these things being appreciated rather than the information itself. The world is driven by the pretty intros, transitions, effects, rather than the quality of the content. Might as well give a new meaning to the word quality in the Oxford dictionary
I honestly couldn't care less about intros on review videos
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 ID-tv can be.
Man, the visual effects and videography are so freaking good. I love this channel.
Thanks for the review. I have a 2015 mac which I love but the screen no longer works without a monitor. I'm hopefully going to upgrade to this year. It's good to know that the new one looks like the 2015 one with the magsafe 2 lead and the SD card slot and other ports. Also good to know that M1 or M2 will be good for me and perhaps I can get a deal for an M1.
still can't get over how clean that intro was, probably the best they've had
pretty easy to pull off with a programmable robot arm that holds the camera lol
@Michael dude if it was that easy anyone could've pulled that off.
@Mohil Khare sure, there’s still some challenge with getting the coordinates just right but my point is the robotic arm is the essential tool, almost impossible without it
@Michael do it then lol
The song is called Darude sandstorm
Bro, you knock every video out of the ball park. Making tech specs fun to watch. Always happy for your success.
There's absolutely no one does this level of production on tech videos on ID-tv, mad props!!🙌🏼
Huh? There’s countless ID-tvrs with great production. He just sat in one spot and talked to the camera the whole video. While pasting in a couple clips.
@Adam J got a point tho
@Java_2022LTT is visually less impressive but they actually push boundaries with trying new and crazy things. And Linus knows more about tech than Marques.
No one else can afford to lmao
Am I the only one hearing constant background noise during his talking head shots?
I am impressed by this man's ability to present tech products.
Would be interested to see the new Macbook Pro M2 Max stacked up against a current equivalent value windows laptop. The new apple silicon is so freaking good, would be interesting to see if intel/AMD laptops have made any gains.
Your reviews always gear me up for my new Apple purchases. I’ll be going into the M1 series soon. Thank you MKBHD.
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.
You know? Based on what?
I have a M1 MBP from $work and I’ve called it “beta hardware”. It takes a while to get packer to build an x86 image (because servers are still x86 - this was improving, but beta hardware would). I’ve also run into path issues with things like terraformer etc. The chip is solid, but it’ll take another year or so for it not to get in my way.
Those intros are getting more and more fun each video. Like literally every intros and title screens are unique to the product it showcases. As if it was having fun and yet still feels professional. Kinda somewhat reminds me of the classic intros of you used to have.
They used the robot to get the shot for the intro right?
Don't Read My Profile Picture DON'T ACT LIKE OTHER PEOPLE HAVEN'T DONE IT
No more 'Hey what's up guys MKBHD here'.😢
Quit riding the intros so much and trying to fish for likes, smh. Theres a comment like this on every video.
@Salman Haider wow you feel very useful don't you?
I've been waiting soooo eagerly for this machine. I'm on a 2015 15" Macbook Pro, almost maxed out in spec. I have constantly maxed that machine out since new, but with the saga of the butterfly keyboards, removal of magsafe, etc etc... I had to wait so damn long for a replacement. Apple Silicon was an amazing swap, but I've also had to wait for the devs of the specific applications to support them. Now that is the case, I can look at finally get a workstation level machine in a laptop that can run Final Cut and astrophotography software.
Same! Maxed out 2015 MacBook Pro! I love it but thinking to finally upgrade & had to wait since I hated the 2016-2021 model, and thinking on going down the the 14” size🤔 if only the track pad on the 16” was the same size
Really excited to reply to this comment 5 months later to say I’ve just ordered my 16” M2 Max MacBook Pro! Should be coming tomorrow
@BBROPHOTOcan you please help me buy mine? I'm a student but I'm a few 100$s short. I know it's not your concern, but it would positively impact my life so much.❤
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.
Do you think the M2 Air does everything you need without issue, that’s why you went with that one over MBP M2 Pro/Max? Or is it simply bad timing and you bought your Air before the new MBPs were announced?
@KrazyKhajiit it does everything I need it to do (and more), and I LOVE the thinness of the body. I didn't like the last gen Air (and that was the reason I waited). Regarding the processing power: I have a VERY resource-heavy virtual organ program (Hauptwerk), and it runs it flawlessly. When I ran it on a Windows XP, it required 64GB of RAM & a hyper-threading 16-core overclocked processor to run some of the largest sample sets. This thing does it without breaking a sweat. I also have a friend who does audio/video production, and he purchased an M2 Mac Mini to replace his $5,500 Windows rig for doing production. Unless you are a POWER user, I'd stick with the air. I'm fairly certain 99% of "average" to "heavy" users will love this.
@Aaron Plunkett thanks for the feedback. Really appreciated. I myself have the Air from like 2015 or so and it doesn’t get the latest macOS updates. It still runs great though. I’ve been wanting an upgrade for some time though (probably just spoiled LOL). And I’m debating between the M2 Air or the M2 Pro MBP, or even the rumored M2 Pro Air that might drop this year. Tbh, the M2 Air, like you said, will probably be enough for me, but at the same time I think the MBP is a great investment for the future. Guess it depends how badly I want to spend the extra 1k versus the usability of the features. Oh and the thinness…. 🤔
@Aaron Plunkett Umm, maybe the Windows XP was your bottleneck as Hauptwerk requires a 64-bit Windows (7+) to operate smoothly 😄
@Aaron Plunkett How does a Windows XP computer do all of that and have 64GB of RAM support is SP2 really that stable what I'm more confused is about the 16 cores.
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?
Is that a surprise? Everything apple does is a money, sucks they're an American company
Did they raise the price in the UK? I’m American but I just bought an M2 Max MBP and it was the exact same price as the M1 Max MBP before it was replaced on the site. I wonder why they didn’t raise the price here.
I just made my purchase of the Power M2 Max which will be an upgrade from my current 20216 machines. Super excited to see the difference as honestly and this is truly saying, my current 6yr old MacBook pro 15.4 is still running well and without any issues other than the obvious ones such as being a little slow. But overall, 6yrs and still amazing is a statement that speaks with facts.
Bro your videos are amazing, always informative yet entertaining and you’re the best speaker on ID-tv 🙌 Also the production quality is incredible - really on par with Netflix and Hollywood productions! Your team is doing some God’s work, keep it coming
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.
Huh? He just sat in one spot and talked to the camera the whole video. While pasting in a couple clips.
Your videos only get better! So much quality. Thanks for the content. 😍
Marques is excellent, and I have huge respect for his reviews .Well presented, and he channel is definitely best on ID-tv
M1 on the second hand market right now is amazing value. Just picked one up with only 20 power cycles and a 100% battery in perfect condition for £600.
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.
Thats very debatable, I spent half a year waiting on the newer ipad pros because they had a smaller body size and an improved apple pencil, and that decision was absolutely the correct one.
@Karen Wang Well yeah, there's nothing wrong of course with waiting months for a certain product to come out because you know it will make a difference for you; but I'm just saying when it becomes more than a year, and if you're not even sure when exactly it could release, then it gets kinda pointless - like I understand waiting for M3 because those will simply be insanely efficient processors, but waiting for the 27-inch Imac pro is just too long; though when my comment gets old enough to when it does release, then I know it won't really age well.
@Karen Wang The video and the comment you're replying to came out right when the M2 macs came out, which is why they made total sense. If you're waiting for the next product right when the current one comes out, it kinda makes no sense because you could use the same logic when the next one comes out too. I think Marques forgot to account for the people who'd interpret his words as a general rule for all circumstances and for people who would be watching this video later on. IMO, if the current product just came out, you should not wait for the next product. If it's around halfway between when the current product came out and when the next one will come out, you should either buy Apple certified refurbished (for a good discount on a basically brand new product) or you should wait for the next one depending on your needs. If the the next product is right around the corner, you should wait for it to come out. This doesn't account for how urgently you need the laptop or what laptop you currently have, though. For example, if you have the M1 mac, I'd recommend you wait for the M3 one even if the M2 just came out. But this framework works for most circumstances where you have an olderish laptop that you want to upgrade, but not super urgently.
Im still rocking my M1 16GB MBA, so I won't upgrade anytime soon, but man this M2 MBP is a monster! Nice work as always Marques!
I have been using M1 16GB MBP, but I feel like I am gonna use this until there is a MBP that is mind-blowing monstrous.
It is definitely not worth the jump, not at least for 2 more years, but if youre a casual user, Apple supports their machines for a while and you could probably get away with 7 years
The team at MKBHD is killing it again. The quality of the reviews keep going up and up.
Does it…?
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.
You kill it with the only product reviews that I actually believe. Thanks, Marques.
I'm new here, welcome me to the Mac family guys 😅! Your review was concise yet more informative than others I've watched. I'll be following for more tips and tricks. great content
Love the honest and unbiased review from Marques!
The craziest part is that we haven't seen full software optimization of the new silicon yet. Once the software catches up, we are going to see even more dramatic improvements in performance and power consumption.
Man these intros feels from a different universe altogether. What production guys!
From this day hence forth you will be called "Captain Hyperbole"
I've needed a new computer since my mid 2014 Macbook Pro, and this might be one of the greatest upgrade with the tech differences. Still chugging along on an i7 4 core CPU with 16GB RAM. Last Mac before my current one had its GPU throttled I needed a replacement card after 3 years (cause I burned it out after some hefty After Effects renders lmao). With my current Mac being about 9 years old, I predict that I could probably get two decades out of an M2 Chip if it didn't lose compatibility with new OSes first.
Mad respect for Marquees. I dont fail to watch your reviews before buying these products
Well I’m a new subscriber and love your presentation of what users want. I’m not video editing (yet) but since I’m old enough to have been exposed to magnetic punch tape programming and other ancient slow things I’m all about spending the money for long term service. You’ve convinced me to invest in an m2 max 16” MacBook with at least 64gb ram and maybe the 96gb I need space so I’ll go with 4TB ssd. I was thinking only a Mac mini but I want the ability to be portable Nothing more frustrating when you want to carry your computer with you and you can’t because you chose to save a few thousand. It’s only a 1 time purchase so it’s important to spend right.
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.
I really want one of these, but I have no real need to upgrade my 13" M1 (besides wanting a slightly larger screen). A 14/16" is very tempting though!
It's an honor to have grown up together following tech and watching your videos. They just keep getting better and better
Feel exactly the same! :D
Na they don’t he was very unbiased in the htc 7 8 9 days
ya but he is doing all this cool shit. and you are not! how does that make you feel @Jacob Elias?
An honour? You need more honourable things to do pal
@Seb FleeBee like telling other people they need more honourable things in their life?
Just got mine last week to replace my 2015 fully specced out macbook pro 15" and it is better in every way except I still like the 2015's keyboard more and trackpad 2. Still the performance is mindblowing for a laptop. I also have a Mac Studio for my work (mostly maxed out). The new M2 laptop is for on the go most of the time and it rocks so far. Still use the 2015 MB mostly at home so the M2 can stay in the office on the charger for the next day. Such lovely machines.
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.
Always enjoy watching your review videos. Some of the most solid informal content on ID-tv. Intro was sick btw. Really impressive.
Congratulations you are the winner🎉🎉🥂🥂. Dm username above to claim the gift.
Great review. I really wish their baseline for storage at this point was 1tb. I really don't want to spend an additional $200 to upgrade from 512gb to 1tb.
Imagine if there would be dynamic island for the upcoming MacBooks. Its gonna be soo good!!
It's crazy, Marques' videos are the only videos I watch full without skipping a bit. And when a video is out, I cannot wait to sit down and watch it ! Props to your hard work Marques! 🙏
why would you download before watching
There isn't a single boring moment. The guy is good.
The same single comment seen everywhere
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?
As a comparison the Core i9-13900K scores 2,243 in single-core and 39,689 multi-core.
Thank you for giving such a detailed review. I’m in the market for a laptop and this helps!
Love your team's video creation skill! As an avid Final Cut Pro user the M2 Pro 16" has been CLUTCH, I am coming from a 2013 iMac 27". I must ask (to anyone on this channel) how do I get my iPhone 13 Pro footage shot in 4K to look more "cinematic" and not like news footage? I know how to color balance and all of that, but much of my footage looks like Family Ties and not Back to the Future (hopefully most get that reference). Any help would be appreciated.
Only thing that comes to mind would be checking the frames per second? Possibly you’re not exporting/shooting at 24FPS?
@Jonathan Varghese no not shooting in 24 fps but I am editing and finalizing in 24 fps.
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 needed more RAM for Adobe illustrator
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 :)
My Legion 5i Pro with a i7-12700H gets over 1800 single and 18500 multi. The charts in the video are completely biased to show that the M2 Max "tops out" the competition. Not to mention my laptop is equipped with a OC'd RTX 3070 and cost only ~40% of the price of these new M2 macs.
That intro was smooth af, those transitions were absolutely beautiful
Af means
He’s putting that robot to use 👌🏼
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.
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.
That intro is one of the best I have seen in 2023. Thank you for the effort you put in the intro and the full video!
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
I can confirm that they where planed way earlier. The Devices where showing up in Partner Buy Portals around October or even September but had no prices. Usally they show up around 4 weeks before launch according to my Suppliers. Maybe they had issues producing enough units to start selling them
That was a sick intro. This is literally why I watch these, for the sheer production quality.
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.3 ok I won't
Agreed!
Check OptimumTech, arguably even better production value while still being much smaller channel
9th comment about the intro
Great content. Informative buy. I am really looking forward to the M3!
I was considering getting either the M2 Pro or the M2 Max, and as far as I can tell the only real difference is that the M2 Pro can be upgraded to 32GB RAM and the M2 Max can be upgraded to the 96GB RAM. However I I have only just found out that although these computers are capable of being upgraded at the time of purchase you cannot upgrade them at a later date as you could with the older Macs, So I couldn't get a M2 Max today with 32GB Ram and upgrade it in 5 years to 96GB, they only come in the form you buy them at.This Sucks. Then again im still using my Mac I bought in 2012 with a Intel Core I7 Quad 2.3ghz, with 16GB Ram and 3TB HDD, and its still going strong, and I take this everywhere, on boats, on holidays abroad, etc and still on the same battery, so if a £3000 computer lasted me 12 Years maybe its worth paying the extra for another 12 years. What are your thoughts? 😕🤣
I just feel overwhelmed how much new tech comes out each year. Although I m not a macbook user, this year's macbook is getting me curious. Maybe by 2027, when the m5 will be here, I will finally switch from Dell! 😅
i just switched from pc cause my dell hit the fritz i decided on this 14 in max and wow its amazing. battery is wow lasts me all day. my other laptop i coudlnt even use more than 2 hours sometimes.
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.
3d animation is always shit on apple lmao, their gpu is not that good if you compare it to a mobile rtx3080ti if you use it for 3d work
Hey Bro, love yer work. Any thoughts on how hot that big boy M2Max is getting on the heftier workloads. I’ve held out for so long to upgrade my MBP and feeling like the time is right with these new configs. I just don’t want to experience the same heat problems I’ve had with my 2011 model (lap blisters, screen melting etc).
I love the way you explain this. Jumps and bumps. Also, the production quality you have is insane. Love it.
Huh? There’s countless ID-tvrs with great production. He just sat in one spot and talked to the camera the whole video. While pasting in a couple clips.
@Adam J if It's that easy, why don't u do it?
@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. 😂
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)
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.
Thinking of getting one of these but I am wondering about the performance when it’s connected to an external display. Does anyone know if it slows down?
Crazy Good Footage. Your review is definitely at another level. It is truely sophisticated, well organized, and super interesting. Getting insight through watching your vids. Thanks!
How does this dude get 3 million views within two days? This dude is the best tech reviewer on ID-tv. 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.
You know a video is so good that people are commenting about the quality of the video instead of the product the video is about. Kudos to the whole team. Nailing it every single time.
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.
Great review(as usual)...I have the first gen 16" and I could use a bump ...considering it..
Might finally upgrade my maxed out 15” from 2015! But I think I’ll go down to the 14” , I don’t like the overly large track pad
I wonder though, does the M2 Pro allow you to connect 3 external monitors? I sometimes do that on my work Intel Mac Pro, but have been told by colleagues on M1 Mac Pros that they won't work with 3 external screens (in fact somebody was looking for a work around for it just yesterday). If the M2 does allow 3 external screens (not necessarily high res ones, just not artificially limiting the number of monitors regardless of resolution), might have to talk to IT about making M2s available for those who've hit the laptop upgrade cycle time!
I just got the m2 pro 16 inch from my college and it's insanely good. It's also my first Mac that I've owned and I'm in love with it!
I loved the real world example shown of screenflow. that's the stuff that actually matters
Your production quality is on point and also, I love your understated humour.... Like with this video, you said wait until Q3 of 2027 to prove a point that waiting for the best thing in tech basically means you're going to be waiting forever!
Learn what “on point” means and how to use it.
@mysterioso 100 They used it correctly. Definition: INFORMAL • US extremely good, attractive, or stylish. Example: Her outfit was on point.
@mysterioso 100 ...Sorry, but yes. Do you have a device that connects to the internet? Great. Google the definition of on point. There are two definitions. 1. US Relevant and appropriate to what is happening or being discussed. "none of the above comments are on point" 2. INFORMAL • US extremely good, attractive, or stylish. "her outfit was on point" Both are correct. You are the embarrassment in this situation.
I am using M1 pro on 16 inch MacBook and the biggest thing which i love about the device is the battery life, it is just amazing .
I guess I'm one of the few that's been generally "eh" about my Macbook Pro (M2 Pro). My usual workstation is a 12th i7, 3060ti. Running them side-by-side, they are basically at the same level (the desktop eeks by roughly 20% faster, but only really noticeable in 2hr-long exports). The prices were roughly the same too when I _bought_ the desktop, but now you can get it for $1000 less than when I did, meaning $1500 less than an M2 Pro. That's an insane brand fee, but similarly insane how easily the hype is able to carry such a large price gap.
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 ?
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.
the film proccess behind your videos is amazing. Im just getting started in videography and photography, and seeing how clean the scenes flow from one to the next, and seemingly flawless transtions are truly something I aspire to be able to do in my own way. thats for being an Insportation :)
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?
Loved the intro, the transition was so smooth. Amazing work!
I have a MB Pro from 2012, LOL. I was going to buy an M2 MB Pro, but based on what you're saying, sounds like an M1 will provide a huge performance upgrade without breaking the bank. Thanks for the tip.
I just made the same switch and it's been amazing. It's funny because from the 2012, so many designs changed, and then came back to a design that is most similar to the 12-15 haha. I will say it is nice never hearing a fan
I got an M1 Pro 14” on sale from Costco for massive savings and only bottleneck I ran into was trying to use an hdmi 2.1 tv with 444 color at even just 60hz. Oh well DisplayPort 1.4 should handle it fine. The M1 Pro is a beast even still and I definitely recommend getting it on sale!
You always make intrinsic points, truly genuine and transparent🎉
You're right when you say it's not a 'quantum leap', because that would technically be the smallest possible iteration they could make, but a respectable speed bump seems spot on. As for the socks and sandals, awesome!!
A quantum leap is not describing a small step, but the overcoming of a prior unpassable barrier or threshold. A bump or leap stays in the same innovation level, while a quantum leap is teleporting out of it.
This is exactly the review I've been looking for!
Great info, great video and great delivery! You are very nice to follow during your explanations. Tech with some fun! Greetings from Europe!
The notch size on the two dimensions you can see looking at the display isn't the issue with FaceID, it's the depth.
