7 Biggest MacBook Buying Mistakes in 2023 

I love how you start with talking about the size. This made me realize I don't actually move around with my computer and the 24 iMac actually makes the most sense for me. Having the large screen is just perfect for productivity.

This is so bullshit, if you don’t have the budget. Buy m2 air. I edit 4k videos and make music. And it’s so fkn smooth so please don’t listen to this guy, he change his mind like 10 times a day, I’m gonna make it easy for u. If you want the fastest and the best laptop that you only have at home. Go for the pro 14” or 16” But if you just started learning editing or doing music and you want it to be easy to take with you the m2 is the one to go with

Biggest buying mistake is watching your videos. You change your mind more than the wind blows 😅

This is a very good summary, nothing wrong with repeating comments said previously in other posts. Thanks.😊

Thank U for this Educational video, it's going to be very helpful!

Thanks bro, Useful content 👍

Excellent video! Thank you Sir

Very good video! Much wanted deliberations to help newcomers choose the right product. Thanks.

"Future proofing"...whatever that means at this point. They will always find ways to make your current device seem inadequate.

Timestamp 5:46 😂🤣😂🤣😂I am only just upgrading my 2011 13" Macbook Pro 16Gb 512 Gb because I can no longer upgrade some of my regularly used apps, or the OS. Otherwise, I'd still be using it. 2020 M1 Macbook Air not doing it for you??? ROFLMAO! 🤪

Most useful video I appreciate your efforts ❤

I don't know why you say 8gb aren't enough for average usage. I use my 8GB M1 mackbook air for programming tasks and for video editing with Final Cut Pro. Unless I open 200 tabs on Firefox my Mac is able to run smoothly. I laugh at people who say 8G on a M1 Mac aren't enough for browsing.

Hi where did you download wallpaper in MacBook? Lovely!

I do have a 13 inch MacBook Air that I gotten a little bit over 4 years ago. It is a nice size for me.

Yay I didn’t check the ports before buying my Mac Pro yesterday I got the newest 2023 16 in1 tb 32 ram so now watching this video I feel happy because I got the model that I got but I have an iPad Pro and I already love that so I figured MacBook Pro I always like to get the best of the best and brand new also I did my research and has all I needexcept for

Артур! Какой ssd для мака посоветуешь?))

i watch your vid and verry helpful

Buy the MacBook you will love without disappointments and regrets later. Though that's expensive or not, small or big. At the end of the day, you and your MacBook are the ones together and not the other people. Period.

Not one person on earth has bought anything in 2023 yet. Let alone making 7 mistakes while doing so.

Lately if I see his content I just move on with my life..I literally just came to the comment session to observ if am the only noticing how he is just throwing content anyhow..gosh

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MENTIONING THE PORTS YOU SAVED MY MONEY THANKS!!!

i mean, how often can you rehash the same content... jeeesus

Thank you so much for this video I’ve got a question Please what MacBook Pro would you recommend for music production? Thank you

hiii what do you edit your videos with?

What u suggest if I use it for mixing videos with the virtual dj 2023 software

If you are going to use your macbook for intense application like design or programing etc you want the big guns "pro" . But if you do research, spreadsheets, financial management, do contracts, watch youtube videos etc. plus the small stuff the Macbook Air 2023 has a lot more to offer than it used to with a 15 inch screen 1080 LED which is what I am on now and came from a 21 inch IMac and I'm in love with this thing. It has the latest M2 chip and like the advise given here I made sure to upgrade my Ram to 16 gb (double the standard equip) and 1 TB hard drive (2 x 512 GB standard equip) 200.00 ea more so 1400.00 became 1800.00 but as this man said, you won't be able to upgrade them anymore so what you buy is what you are stuck with. if you don't you will not get as much life out of your mac because the upgrades with eventually require more and more to run. I made that mistake once and it cost me buying one on sale (2 yr old model) and min specs. And this one has spatical sound streaming quality. I do think the speakers could be better but that's not my main thing anyway so that's fine for me. Because I was double checking something I said here I inadvertently discovered Apple just dropped their price today 100.00 and I have 14 days from delivery to request a credit for the price reduction that happened right after I bought mine. I just made a 100.00 for this post!!!!

very practical tips. thx

You put me like in a puzzle! I am a physician working in a country with no infrastructure & electric data collection so i need to a device for pdf reading for daily readings & making power points for lectures & gathering my patients data in folders containing their photos of diagnostic images & reports so what you advice me of please laptop vs i pad ?!thanks

Another mistake, watch out you order the correct keyboard, when you live abroad. In Germany, you will get standard a QWERTZ keyboard, where you may prefer the International QUERTY 😅

I wanted the magnetic power cord which the 13" pro did not have. The air models all lack fans and it gets got here so those weren't an option. I likely only need a Chromebook but I like OSX and have never used anything else except for work since we use some specific software that will only run on windows. Long story short the cheapest option for me was the $2000 14" pro. And I love it so far its actually smaller in size than the 2013 13" pro

i find it hilarious when i see friends say 'oh i bought the new mac but i can't even use a mouse/tv/whatever! wtf!' it shows that they're the perfect target audience for Mac products in general thinking they bought into the overpriced hype only to be disappointed when they didn't do any decent research on what they're even buying

Don't buy macbook air m1...I just bought brand new sealed pack with warranty..it took just 4month to loss my macbook display...I guarantee 💯 I used carefully..I am a doctor in sri lanka..with economical crisis, though with difficult I had to buy bcz of its speed and user friendly Ness.. unfortunately I just closed and open the screen in 5min minutes..found display problem..100%..no physical damage..but unfortunately apple dealers in sri lanka refused to give me warranty..they confimly telling that I have physically damaged it..I am soo disappointed

I am a CSE AIML student which macbook and specs,you will suggest me

CleanMyMac X is a great program, but it would be great if they offer an option to charge a little more to allow 3 or 5 installations, so if you have 3 or 5 Apple computers, you do not have to deactivate the license on the active computer and transfer the activation to another Mac you have it installed and run the cleanup on that one. Adobe allows 2 active activations so you can use their Creative Cloud on 2 computers, whether Mac or Windows version. Microsoft allows 5 active activations on their Windows and Microsoft Office products.

having more RAM doesn't mean faster computers!!!! just don't load up tabs and apps simultaneously and you will be fine 8gb will be more than enough. and save the extra $200 😁

Why are there problems with the MacBook and new Mac booking are coming out when I bought my MacBook

I want to buy macbook for my son who plays mostly Minecraft (on his MB from 2012). Should I go for MBP or MBA? Can MBA do the job without active cooling? Thanks!

There are student discount?

I bought a new $1000 2018 MacBook air and it stopped working after only 2 years. My model had a logic board problem, but Apple only would replace certain serial numbers, which mine wasn't, even though I had the exact model and problem. The repair would have been over $600.

The MacBook Air 13 inch is perfect for me. I like a small screen and I only do basic things on it.

I always wanted a MacBook but the newer model’s look is not appealing to me. Instead I bought a Surface Laptop 4 for only $900 since I work at Microsoft retailer, it has 11th gen i7, 16G RAM, 512GB SSD. It’s not as powerful as Apple Silicon but it’s powerful enough for my tasks. The only defect is the lacking of thunderbolts, but USB 3.2 is fine I think.

Buy refurbished ones 2015 or before where you can still upgrade RAM and SSD. Beyond 2015, everything is soldered on, and replacing the motherboard is the only fix. ( personal experience ). If you really want the newer designs, buy a 2 year old one, a lot cheaper and plenty good.

Buy the pro , even if its more than you need, like you said future proofing right

My budget is about £650 which can get me a 2019 13inch or 2018 15inch or a 2015 15 inch which has the M370X, 2.8ghz i7 and 1tb of ssd storage (a m1 air is about £100 more)

Thank you.

Very thoughtful analysis; thanks so much!

I’m looking to buy a new laptop for college which I’ll be using 5 days a week and I’ll be using it everyday for working

What i am deciding right now: - i need logic pro, - i need to connect external audio-card, - i think… i need a cooler, cause i will learn some hard stuff. - i need a portability to trip with my macbook, - i don’t really love this brows on 14 inch mac. My choice: - macbook pro 13 inch m2 with 29gigs of ram, 1tb of storage + dongle. - 16gigs air m1, 1tb of storage + dongle? (If i don’t have a budget) Am i right? Any advices? Ideas? Btw, your prediction, will Apple stop making 13 inch pro with touchbar next model year? Btw, thank you for the video! Your advices made me looking for a model a bit more clear!

personal needs ok, but how do i know what my use requires? im supposed to be a basic user, with just teams, chrome, notes and mail... but today my macbook air cant even handle that....

Why does my 2017PRO only have 2 points ports

my job makes me need an vm (virtual machine) so a little more power than the air m1 so i think i am gonna just buy the air m2

I plan to do coding/programming but I don't know which to get. Can anyone give some suggestions with explanation? Should I get HP laptop i7 16GB RAM 1TB ($1500), Macbook Air M2 chip 16GB RAM 512GB ($1879), Macbook Air M3 chip 16GB RAM 512GB ($2049) or Macbook Air M3 Pro chip 16GB RAM 512GB ($2249)? I also heard that for Macbook users who want to use android OS, they can do so by either using UTM for free or buy parallel from Microsoft. Is that true?

There is only useless talks about don’t take cheapest laptop, there is no discussion over how to make decisions, when people lack of budget and need better performance. Unsubscribe ✅

or how are we supposed to forecast future need? in 2015 salesmen were already starting to say 8gb was going to be low in the next couple years... now 8gb isnt enough for anyone really ... so we have to plan 1gb per year roughly?

I have a M1 MacBook Air. I like it but I’m wrestling with the possibility that I may need a larger screen size featured in a MacBook Pro.

1:08-1:14 What app is that he's using? Someone Please Help

Apple Computers are like a Lamborghini. Model, material, quality and speed, stability. PCs with Windows are less stable, many viruses enter, etc. Those who work seriously use Apple. ( iPhone, Watch ) -

it's a difficult decision, you must think ahead, it's not easy.

A spokesman for 🍎. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Just thinking about all the variations of what I should get and not get; I just stayed with what was my best purchase for the value in 2022 - The MacBook Pro M1 16”; he’s a big boy but he’s versatile and everything I want to do with it is doable. And for $1400 on eBay was a risk worth taking because it’s still being listed at 2K on the 🍎 site. My externals all plug in and everything works, including plugging him into a OLED LG 48” for an external monitor. Yeah, I’m happy. I’m a photographer by the way and it’s the best for editing hands down. I bought a high impact case for mine and I’ve never taken it into a coffee shop but just imagine if I did. 😂 Now for portability, I plan on getting a new iPad Pro Max but in 2023 when the price goes down.

Arthur wiener is running out of content to make please make a video about AirPods Max 2 or the 15inch MacBook Air

Arthur a month ago: PLEASE BUY THIS! Arthur 3 weeks ago: DON'T BUY ANYTHING! Like a flag...

i have a question will a macbook pro with 32 gb ram 12 cpu cores 19 gpu cores and 2tb of memory be good for video editing

Ik the m1 is cheap and i do mid stuff but imma go with the pro for future proofing cause I know in real life usage, it makes a lot of difference. Thank you for the video, It cleared my doubts, thanks again.

Hello , im so confused , i wanna buy a laptop for my work + for music production. I have a budget of 1500$ max. Some people are saying to go for the macbook pro m2 512gb and some people are saying to go for the lenovo ideapad 3 1tb. I really don’t know what to buy can someone help me please !

Yea buying products for 5years cuts it for me, I love dat. But al confuse what about iPhones how many years gaps shld someone go just to save money and not get attached to shinning syndrome

I am a 1st Year B. Tech CSE student in India. So, I am going to get my first Macbook. I have been a Windows user lately but I am planning to get a Macbook. But I am confused between M1 AIR, M2 AIR and M2 Pro. And which storage will you recommend me 256GB or 512GB? And see I am planning to use it for a long run for a minimum of 4 years. So, looking from productivity perspective which one would you recommend? I would be using it for Coding, Programming, DSA, Machine Learning, etc. Please recommend me the best option. And I checked the M1 Pro 512GB. Apple doesn't sells it anymore in Inida. They have removed it from Apple India website. And the M2 Pro is quite out of my budget. I have a budget of around 1-1.5 lakhs INR. So, kindly help me and tell me which one should I get.

What about buying refurbished on Amazon? Is that considered official refurbished?

Man i hate that on the pros u cant have the midnight color like on the airs. Literally main factor im debating on.

Hi, I have £3700 i would like to buy a M3 MacBook Pro Max for editing video .I am a beginner but I want to keep my laptop at least 4years .Can you please help me with configuration?

First you need to stop caring what others suggest and do your own research according to your needs. It is great that he has made this video, but I would highly recommend learning something about CPUs and GPUs and other PCs components. I am still able to do all my work on ASUS with core i5 from the year 2015, but I needed a refresh for my heart. Thats why I got a mac

if you want to play with it and just web browse and youtube 16 gig is fine if you do any work at all 32 is the new 16.

Марко, дивилась ваш канал ще до того, як почалась війна. Слідкувала за вами, коли почалась CUAET і ваші поради дуже допомогли мені в моєму рішенні наважитись і переїхати сюди. І я ні краплі не шкодую, що зробила це. А зараз, дивлюсь ваше відео і розумію, що ви знімаєте в парку, де я кожного ранку біжу на роботу😊 Дякую вам за ваш канал і за вашу працю!

wish they came in variety colors

Hello this is a really helpful video, Between MacBook Pro 2019 16gb and MacBook Pro 2020 8gb which would you recommend for video editors? Would appreciate your reply thanks 🙏

8gb is enough for most tasks and i do programming and video editing smoothly . You are doing useless comparison

If you were to go for an air and upgrade to 16gb of ram with the 512gb ssd….by the time you buy a $100 dongle… you’re only $250 CAD way from a Mac Pro 14”. It’s a no-brainer!

Best.vid

I really enjoy your content because I can’t afford a MacBook 😂. And you are one good looking man, it’s a pleasure to look at.

🙌🏼

MacBook Pro M3 Max Base model ✨ summer 2024 👍🏼

There's still no reason to buy the MacBook Air M2, 8GB RAM sucks so go for the 14 inch MacBook Pro or when you are a light user, the M1 is the way to go.

Ohh god selecting ram for silicon chips, this guy make some huge mistake. M1,m2 chips doing amazing job with 8 gigs of ram even for developers.(watch some videos) there is no need to go for 16 gigs.

When I heard about the budget talking about any Apple products I nearly fell of my chair from laughing. If you have a budget don't buy Macbook but PC as they are much much much cheaper.

😢 I just bought the 13” m2 MacBook Pro. On the plus side, I was about the same price as the m2 air. (Sale at Costco)

There’s hardly any room for error in buying MacBooks in Apple ecosystem. The only mistake I see is when you buy a MacBook thinking it’s a Windows laptop.

Ах вот куда ушел Артур Вишневский)

I have money saved just enough for my first Apple device - MacBook Air M2. How can I make mistake in this?

I found you can get a lot more bang for your buck by buying a well specked out PC laptop versus a MacBook. A whole lot, many more ports and larger drive space and speed for the same amount of money.

Misleading Thumbnail. Implies not to buy rather than mistakes to avoid.

I dont know when was the llast time I went to buy an expensive machine and coimg home to check it doesn't have a port and going back to buy a dongle. Nope 100% of buyers looks at reviews first before buying laptops/gadgets. Its laptop, not vegetable. Dang, I am a vegeterian and I just bought a pound of chicken. For better scripts please hire me.

Yea, yea, nice Apple commercial.

Timestamp, anyone?

1. buying a macbook.

I just want to edit video content run Photoshop and Lightroom I'm about to purchase a 2018 MacBook Pro 16Gb/512GB touch bar for $650 first time Mac user and my laptop can't push the editing software because it's super old from 2011 but the Mac I'm buying is refurbished and the protection plan is pretty cheap for 4 years

Honestly his content is becoming annoying

“Refurbished” is pronounced like reeh-fur-bisht (where fur is like cat’s fur), not reeh-fub-risht
