@PerpetualPreponderer Год назад

Please compare M2 8gb 512gb vs M2 16gb 512gb if possible guys, we really need to know whether to fork out for that extra 8gb of RAM.

Yo u should like compare the 16gig and 512 mbp 13 inch to the base model 14 inch

@chrisdixon2843 Год назад

I think it was the M1 that’s was a mistake, Apple realised there was no incentive to get models higher than base for most people so created a reason with the m2 and put that “wrong” right. Bold move though…thanks to Apple for making my base m1 more valuable 😂👍

@johnmarshall4_ Год назад

I would like to see battery life and power use differences between the 8GB / 256 and the 16GB / 512. Having more silicon powered up has to have some effect, yet I have not found anyone doing those comparisons.

@sunpeter8728 Год назад

However, 16GB+512GB, the Price is too close to 14’m1 pro(100$ more), so this whole lineup should not exist.

@user-nb8df2wj1o Год назад

Spot on. That is Apple’s strategy inducing you to buy more expensive product. Similar example w/ similar strategy is iPad air and iPad pro. Similar example w/ different strategy is the education discount where Apple knows but close eyes on people who disguise as students, in hopes for them to spend more money with more purchasing power thanks to the discount.

@anuj_mhatre Год назад

Vadim & Max I see all your videos on release & absolutely love them. The core logic took a miss in this one, as storage should have been kept constant for a RAM comparison video (due to ssd speed variations from apple across 256 & 512) Are the difference due to ssd or RAM? It’s hard to figure.. Still this is a much information video & pretty helpful!

@ruiqingliu1048 Год назад

Hi, Max Tech, Thank you for your video explanation. I am wondering should I go for 16+256g when pre-order the M2 Air or go for 16+512g? Does it have a significant difference? I don't want to spend an extra $200 for an extra low-quality 256g SSD. Also, if I choose 16+512g, the price would be really close to the m1 pro 14, it also makes me very confused.

@markwisniewski7590 Год назад

Would love to see how much of this is due to the extra ram vs the slower ssd (would love to see an M2, 8gb ram and 512gb ssd vs M2, 16gb ran and 512gb ssd).

@StefTechSurfer 8 месяцев назад

SSD is more likely to break.

@maddoxglow3268 Год назад

So what it looks like is apple realized the m1 8gb base models were too powerful..that people felt no need to upgrade to 16gb ram..so now they are making a more significant gap between 8gb and 16gb ram so people will upgrade.. but making a gap meant downgrading the 8gb model ..so apple can get more money pretty much..i could be wrong

@jeanjasinczuk7543 Год назад

I don't believe Apple conspired to make it slower. It just a cost cutting measure, having a single SSD module make it a little bit cheaper to produce. And Apple think most people would not care much. Overall, I still agree that this M2 base MacPro should not be called Pro. Apple should also sell a 16GB, 512 MB pre configured. Resellers often discount pre configured models, Apple almost never discount customized build.

@zeniktorres4320 Год назад

I'm sure that part of their reason alongside cost cutting. Both these two reasons complement either other. Not a good look for the company.

The real world performance reduction is shocking what seems like a small change. I'd be interested to know that if the 24GB RAM option is used, with a much reduced memory swapping what the real world performance difference would be.

@scb2scb2 Год назад

a basic mistake many people make is its about free memory that the apps have to play with so as a calc. example (and not that weird since unix including osx likes caches). You need 4G to run the OS and caches, backup and other things its doing. Now if you have a 8G model you have 4G left... If you get the 16G model it still needs that basic 4G. so now you have 12Gig left. So thats 4G 'play room for heavy app' vs 12G 'playroom for heavy app' ... 3x the free space. The step to 24G will mean 20G vs 12G free and is more linear as you can see... Given the slow ssd disks (depends on chips 1,2 or 4 depending on M1 chip/memory) 1400,2600 or 5200 speeds effects swapping a lot but only if the machine is forced into swapping with 8 Gig that will happen quickly (as shown) with 24Gig or more it really depends on your app and it and how often it needs to swap out and swap in parts.

Tbh I think the comparison should be between 8G/256 and 8G/512. So for those who want to choose basic model of 13pro or m2 air, they can consider to upgrade the SSD only.. if they upgrade both SSD and RAM, then why not go for 14pro?

As much as I'd like to buy an upgraded version with 16GB and 512 SSD to have a nice performance, it doesn't make any sens at all to me. It would be way more reasonable to go straight to Pro 14 for literally the same price 🤯. The preferable spec would be basic Air with 16GB + SSD 256GB but question is how does this perform 🤔 Apple really messed it up...

@drakata27 Год назад

I expect even worse performance from the air no matter how cool it looks with the new midnight colour

My question is, would you get an 8GB 1TB model or 16GB 512GB model for the same price for basic consumption and gaming like Civ V? The base model in this test uses the slow storage so I don't understand if the Memory Swap on an 8GB 1TB will still deliver the same performance?

@brightboxstudio Год назад

About the first Lightroom Classic results - as I commented on your other M2 MBP video, the huge difference is because at 16GB unified memory, Lightroom Classic 11.4 or later enables GPU acceleration for export, and then it can put the pedal to the (Apple) Metal :) . At 8GB, it’s using only the CPU because there isn’t enough free memory for the GPU to use as VRAM. When both Macs have the same amount of unified memory, the results should be much closer for this test.

@MaxTechOfficial Год назад

The GPU's are also used on the 8GB models since we monitor GPU usage when we are exporting but if the ssd is slow swap will be slow too. We tested 8GB/512GB vs 8GB/512GB today and the performance difference is starting. On a fresh reboot and only having lightroom open and nothing else there's a difference of 15%. Once you open 10 chrome tabs it gets really interesting.. Video coming tomorrow!

The storage issue makes sense. If I remember correctly, Apple used multiple storage chips in a sudo-RAID array to get the fantastic internal storage speeds. The base model appears to be Apple's next generation 5400rpm fiasco. I bought the 512GB M1 MBA so I'd get at least this version anyway. As ƒor RAM, I don't believe you tested an 8GB/512GB so not sure if the RAM test using faster 512GB unified memory would make a big difference. As ƒor people suggesting the M1 14/16" MBPs might be a better itZ all depends on whether you want the smaller size or not. I'm sure the M2 Pro/Max 14/16 MBPs, which should come with at least 512GB storage, are ©oing to be much faster than the M1 versions.

Keep up the good work

dang I didn't know the performance was that bad. For the price it makes sense to get a discounted m1 air over this, or get the 16gb version of these. I guess that means for the new m2 air getting the 8gb version will be slow too.

That SLOW ssd is messing up everything

@andrewcairnsmrkiplin Год назад

yup and these fuckers run out and still buy it instantly haha

@tjadejoh Год назад

That has to do with the size of the ssd right? Or does the 16gb model also only come with the 512gb ssd

@andrewcairnsmrkiplin Год назад

@@tjadejoh m1 mac has 2 ssd's in raid 0 making it faster the m2 mac has a single ssd so they have fucked everyone who buys it but they will still run out and buy everything apple brings out instantly without waiting. and now they have been burnt :P and also when the ssd dies its game over since they are soldered onto the logic board.

This version is a scam..junk with the same casing as the older models. The air is the better buy this time around
