This is for anyone in 2023 still thinking about buying a 2021 M1 MacBook Pro…yeah it’s still totally worth it. I did and I don’t regret a thing. Received mine new a few days ago for an absolute bargain of £800 off original price, and it’s fantastic. I got mine for Ableton and various music production software/daws and it’s so smooth and fast. I also run league of legends for a little game time when I want it. I would stay clear of anyone wanting to splash out on a M2 chip 2023 MacBook, and go for a M1 chip based one for half the price. I could never pay top whack for a MacBook, gotta get that deal.

@frostfire_mage Год назад

£800 off…. niice! Good to hear from someone using it for music production too. You getting any dropped frames playing League of Legends?

@juliancaesar4575 Год назад

@@frostfire_mage league of legends doesn’t play completely smooth but it’s good man. I mean if you are buying a MacBook to game on, your head needs checking anyway 😂 I just put it there because I know some people might want a little game here and there around their work. This laptop can do it, just nothing too demanding. Runs WOW and all those types of games. Cyberpunk not so much is my guess 😂

This is probably one of the better "1 year later" videos on this macbook. Mine arrives today. I went with the 10/16 cores, 16Gb and 1Tb. One thing I would do in future is normalize your audio. Having to turn the volume up to hear your spoken content and then getting blown out of the room by backing music is really annoying. Great video otherwise. BTW hello from Sydney - noticed you're in Victoria by way of the train you caught :)

@frostfire_mage Год назад

Thanks dash8brj and congrats on your MBP. Ye, I agree my audio needs some work. Ye, I just moved back to Melbourne, last year… and really enjoying home again :) Visited Sydney in Jan this year too, loved it, happy trails :)

hi; got your vid on recommendation by youtube; the intro is smooth and sent a tone of relaxation in a correct execution, to the point where by the time the video starts, the video is giving a vibe that is inviting; to top it off, the explanations are cut and dry, leaving no wasted time for any additional words other than what is needed (for example, in use cases for a macbook pro 14 inch 2021, you said the applications for each demographic that needs it right then and there); your work is awesome, keep it up, FrostFire Mage - by: i, a man, mico star!

Here it is, 2024 and I decided to upgrade and researched the M2 and M3. Finally, I decided to purchase a very gently used 14" M1 Pro and am so happy with it! This laptop is amazing and handles everything I throw at it. I got the same one with the same specs as the one you reviewed and it even has almost a year left of AppleCare+. Your review is great!

@akin242002 Год назад

Best laptop for front-end website developers who like travel with their laptop 💻. The 16inch MBP is great for those that want more battery and rarely take their laptop outside their home/apartment. Basically a mini-desktop.

Hey Nat, With the recent M2 Pro Macbook's dropping into Apple Stores, many people getting great deals on the M1 Pro models, good to see you got one I'm still in love with it 🥸💻💙

@DJpiya1 Год назад

I was always used to be an Apple hater, But this time Apple has failed me. I love my M1 Macbook Pro 16 Inch. I must say this is an engineering Marvel. I run Docker with two Cassandra DBs, Mysql, localstack, four InteliJ idea projects where each one runs in their own debuggers, with 20-30 Chrome tabs opens simultaneously. But everything runs like butter on 16GB. The same setup previously I ran on i9-9900k with 32Gb on Ubuntu, But even in that case sometimes I noticed hiccups. I don't understand how Apple did this. This is black magic. I have my Apple Keyboard and Magic Mouse, but I don't have to use them often, coz the Laptop keyboard and trackpad is very precise and convenient and the 16 Inch screen is very well thought for coding as well. So in Nutshell, If you want a perfect laptop that money can buy in 2022 specially for non Microsoft based software development, this is the number one. There is no way that you can go wrong with this product in my opinion.

@MartinFellerMusic Год назад

@@frostfire_mage they definitely are! Well, still debating. I want it to last me at least 5 years without having to upgrade. But coming from a 13 inch M1 macbook pro, i think the base model is very good. I don't need the extra GPU cores of the M1 Max because I'm mainly producing music on it. However, 32gb and 1tb would be great to have! But the prices are insane once you add anything... What would you recommend?

@frostfire_mage Год назад

@@MartinFellerMusic If you are working on 1 app at a time and in focus then 16GB is sufficient. However,If you’re multi tasking with multiple apps open and in focus, then consider the 32 GB upgrade. Apart from that, I find having the 1 TB SSD to be great and useful if you are constantly moving large amounts of big files around. And the 97W brick charger is a must for fast charging. 👍🏻

@Dharmasaputro 10 месяцев назад

Gotta say I also liked this M1 Pro, even with my base model. Previously used the M1 Air and sold it after months since it was a troublesome to make my stack of Python + PostgresSQL to work, although I still loved its crazy efficient chip. So ended up just used it for my office/administration thing. Switching to Windows for a while then decided to try the same stack again and apparently it works much easier than in 2020. Also, their decision to bring back this kind of thickness and ports other than Thunderbolt sold me over :) I do wished they put a USB A though, so I can plug my wireless mouse dongle. Yep, there are still some minor issues with the libraries I'm using, but other than that this iteration is still a beast. You couldn't get this kind of efficiency in any other x86 system, until now I have never saw the swap got used with the 16Gig model :)

@frostfire_mage 10 месяцев назад

Ye I agree… this iteration appealed to so many different forms of people who were in the market for a new MacBook Pro… and for those who are looking even more recently, they also get it at a discount rate compare to the overpriced value of the M2 MacBook Pro proposition 😎

Hey TJ, Each to their own… I actually prefer the USB-C ports 😂 I am using the SD card slot a lot more these days with drone footage transfer, so it is helpful. Upgrading from a 2015 machine must feel like hopping into a Lambo Huracan after driving a Prius, gratz dude 😈

@aveekroyy Год назад

for how much dollar

@suryansh6555 21 день назад

I got this M1 Pro MBP'14 and I guess I'm encountering issues related to aux port. Wired earphones/headphones whenever plugged in I hear an occasional buzz here and there for a while when opening/closing apps etc. This buzz is independed of what the volume is. It happens irrespective of whether the magsafe is plugged in or not. Magsafe plugged in certainly amplifies it a bit but it happens otherwise as well. Recently I got to hear a little bit of that buzz while a video was playing. I want to know if that's how these devices work or what's really the issues and does that happen with others here as well? I told the same issue to the guy at genius bar but he couldn't really hear it since it was all noisy out there. He let it off saying it's probably because of some compatibility issue and if you use something like airpods(wired) you won't encounter the same. I tested using my Sony Xm5 headphones the wired way and the buzzing was still happening. I have this issue since Day 1 of my purchase.

@frostfire_mage Год назад

I’m assuming Fall/ Autumn 2023 in Australia, if so the M2 Pro machines will be coming out around this time, and there should be some deals on for the M1 Pro machines. If in the U.S they will be even cheaper by this stage, so win win. Regardless it’s more than proficient for software devs, some tools and set-ups require workarounds to get going, but the M1 Pro machines have more than enough power for the long-term.

@andobreslin8735 6 месяцев назад

You should never charge a battery overnight. You need to allow the cycles to fluctuate from around 95% to 10% with each intensive use. You'll weaken the battery by overcharging.

I'm not even sure why the 13" M2 Macbook Pro exists... The 14” M1 Pro is better for, cooling, sound, displays (colour, brightness and size), refresh rate, webcam, USB-C ports, multiple external displays, charging (96W and above), The 13” M2 Macbook Pro is better for battery efficiency (doing low intensity tasks like web surfing, writing documents, watching youtube) tbh if you can’t afford the 14” M1 Pro, then better to look at the new 13” M2 Air instead, as you get a lot of the new design upgrades, with pretty decent performance.

@Jowiej03 Год назад

Hi! Great in-depth video. I’ve seen other comments regarding MBP 14” M1 Pro battery. I want to get this for light photo editing, browsing web and watching video; however, I am apprehensive of getting this just because of the battery. I know Air M2 is a better fit for my lifestyle but the display for 14” is to fantastic. Decisions decisions….

@frostfire_mage Год назад

@@Jowiej03 Normally I would recommend the M2 Air here, but based on your comment, it sounds like the display is the most important thing… and the 14” M1 Pro has the bigger screen at 14.2-inch, the mini-LED’s, XDR brightness and the Pro Motion tech (for refresh rates at 120Hz). The battery is still great, the M2 Air efficiency is just better… I would just add the 96W brick for +50% fast charge (in 30 mins).
