I think we can all agree that the 16” MacBook Pro is not cheap. I bought it as soon as it came out, and paid full price - and now, more than a year later I want to give you my long-term review, talk about the things that I like and the things that I don’t like, and whether I have buyers remorse. Also, thank you to Best Buy for sponsoring a portion of this video.

That's what RU-vidrs do. Name a exaggerated title, attracting people to watch their videos. And many tech RU-vidrs will discuss Apple not because they love Apple, its because Apple has many topics. Talking about Apple means more views, which is actually a big shame I think...

Recently purchased a certified Apple refurbished 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Max, 36G ram, 1TB SSD, for £2550.. absolute steal. Coming from a 2015 MacBook Pro 13 inch retina, i5, 8G ram, 256GB SSD! Huge upgrade and absolutely blown away already. Basically a portable desktop, and only 0.5kg heavier than my 2015 MacBook Pro!

MBP16 & an iPadPro11 with magic keyboard are perfect compliments for each other. Use the ipad on the plane or when wanting something small to use when on the go, and use the MBP16 the rest of the time!

@LaurenGlenn Год назад

I got a 14" from Best Buy. It was open box and on sale to boot. 16GB of RAM is the sweet spot for me. Everything just runs and doesn't lag. Far better than the Air which has no fan and really needs one. But one really good plus over a PC is that people make rugged cases for these models to where I don't need a separate bag for it. Yes, Surface Pro machines have these same types of cases so some PCs have them... it's preferable to have them when putting in a purse though.

@ArthropodSpidey Год назад

The Air DOESN'T need a fan for what it's supposed to be used for. That's the whole point.

@eppsislike Год назад

The Air doesn't need a fan. Hence why they called it Air.

@snoozeyoulose9416 8 месяцев назад

The upside of the Macbook Air is the ability to operate without a fan versus laptops having fans which draws dust and debris into the laptop body requiring eventual cleaning and opening up of the device. While fanless and powerful for what it is, the Macbook Air has a use case scenario which allows for this fanless design to work. Yes, it can edit basic videos and play games but the price for it's form factor is heat and eventual potential throttling. As others have basically stated, if you have needs that go beyond an everyday consumer computer for basic tasks, Apple has a lineup of products which scale up based on needs which reflects in the hardware configurations. To add: Best Buy is known for great open box deals whether getting a computer or whatever else and you can purchase two year protection which if an issue arises, they will replace with something entirely new or if not available, equivalent cash.

I've the MBP 14" and also used 16" for a month earlier. I like these displays but side by side, Samsung Tab S7+ display looks even better to me for most types of content. Something about those OLEDs. MBP's displays have brightness advantage though for those that matters a lot. Hopefully we get OLED on ipads and MacBooks sooner than later.

@@ZyliceLiddell oled 20x BETTER THAN minioled.

@BalaKrishna-bq5iz Год назад

@@ZyliceLiddell Macbook Pro 14 and 16 have the same mini LED screen as ipad pro if not better. Yet, OLED is still better. The contrast ratio is considerably better than regular LCDs especially in movies with dark scenes but for most if the regular stuff, it is still a regular LCD lit by white LEDs from the back. OLEDs are self lit and that makes a ton of difference with the color saturation and vibrancy. Apple reportedly plans to move to OLEDs on ipad pro in a couple of years but no word on MacBooks.

@mejlgaardbliddal Год назад

@@BalaKrishna-bq5iz OlED has the best black levels because you can control the black level on a pixel by pixel basis but the max brightness across the entire screen is way lower thus making it less suitable in environments with lots of uncontrollable light. A dual layer OLED might solve that problem, but I don’t think that technology is mass market ready yet.

@BalaKrishna-bq5iz Год назад

@@mejlgaardbliddal counter to that brightness argument is probably right in our hands. What display can be in a more challenging light than your phone? Like, what can be more uncontrollable then bright sunlight? Latest flagships can hit even 2000 nits when needed. It cant sustain that due to heat limitations and burn in scare but who needs such sustained brightness? The so-called bright LCD and mini-LED displays on Macbook Air and MacBook pro are capped at 400 and 500 nits respectively in SDR anyway. MBP's Mini-LED only goes higher in in HDR typically in selective parts of the screen as dictated by the HDR. So, it looks to me, the major factor thats stopping Macs from going all the way is siding on the cautious side due to burn in potential, especially considering that static elements on the screen like Menu bar and dock. There are already some premium windows laptops with 2.8K OLED screens that can hit 400-600 nit brightness and they looked gorgeous in my brief time I played with them. And underlying all this is the perceived brightness. Due to the nature of the display, similarly rated OLED panel "looks" more brighter than an LCD with equivalent brightness. I see a lot of reviewers observe the same. Bottomline: I get all the concerns with the bright OLED panels but I can't wait for them to be here sooner. Even a less brighter OLED is more gorgeous my mini-LED. Not only they look great but the response time is stupid fast (~0.2ms) ...like near Zero compared to 100+ ms on MacBook Pros.

I bought a 17 inch MacBook Pro back in 2008 and a custom backpack specifically for that model from Swissgear called the Carbon. Back then, the MacBook Pro was 8 pounds and I sometimes carried two laptops in the backpack. The 2021 MacBook Pro 16 swims in the laptop compartment. I could probably fit two of them in there. I have had my M1 Pro MacBook Pro for a year and it has been great. I decided to go with a Studio for the desktop as I don't like unplugging and plugging monitors and other things. I have four port hubs on it so I plug in a of devices.

@snoozeyoulose9416 8 месяцев назад

Had to comment with a smile. After purchasing the m1 max and enjoying the laptop display with it's micro LCD technology as a type of cousin to OLED, I ended up purchasing a 27 inch Micro LCD display with HD1000, local dimming and a standard brightness of 650 nits. Spoiled with the macbook and subsequently needed an external monitor that would complement the laptop, using both displays together while working at the desk. Ended up selling my 34 inch ultrawide and 32 inch 4k monitor. After using the Micro LCD macbook display, those monitors looked washed out and lacked the contrast and HDR levels which showcased the technology as intended. Costly but was a sound decision and feel as if I got into the future of displays at the ground floor.

@mejlgaardbliddal Год назад

I recently bought the base model a part from 1 TB drive based exactly the reasons you mention as reasons for not adding 32GB to it I could have done that but it would have cost considerably more as I either would have had to buy a max version or pay full price + the price for the ram upgrade which would have made it way more expensive than the discounted in stock model I ended up purchasing. That didn’t make any sense to me as I rarely use more than 2 video tracks in the educational videos I am creating for my pupils at school. For me RU-vid is mainly a placeholder for the videos I produce based on the needs I perceive among my pupils and most of those are based on screen recording, not on multi layered videos

I still dont get any system hiccup or anything. People with other special need might wanna get the 32GB RAM but Im sure its not a must.

I'm pretty sure, if I take care of it, it will last at least five years and probably more if I want it to. I do Android programming with Android Studio, thus the 16" screen, but this computer has all the power I need to run the android emulators and both the hardware and software have been rock solid so far.
