just got mine yesterday MacBook Pro m3 pro 18gb ram 1 tb ssd 12c 18g version. I spent 45 minutes in store just standing there confused about the colours. It was really hard for me to make a choice between Space black and silver. Finally went with the silver one coz space black has some fingerprints issue which I noticed in store. Love the new Mac and silver colour.

@beardfm 7 месяцев назад

Silver is a great choice too! Same specs as mine 💪🏼

@kevinranders 7 месяцев назад

I picked one up on Wednesday. Space Black, 14 Macbook Pro M3 Pro. 18gb, 512 ssd and am very pleased so far. Worth noting that this is my first macbook (and foray into macos). I still have a desktop I built for gaming but also have the M1 Ipad Pro, Ultra 2 watch and Iphone so figured why not take full advantage of the ecosystem. Happy so far.

@beardfm 7 месяцев назад

Welcome to the Mac! Having the whole ecosystem really makes a difference, and you've joined at a time when Macs are pretty awesome.

Just ordered the same MacBook too after a long struggle of deciding wether to go for the 14” or 16” waiting till between the 16-20th of this month to receive it in the UK, can’t wait! My first MacBook too.

@davanti8580 7 месяцев назад

I traded in my 2017 15" Macbook Pro in-store as I bought my m3 pro 14". It's the only way to do trade-in+giftcard+payment plan. A few of the staff weren't sure how to do it all though and kept having to discuss how to get it all to work. Loving my new laptop, it was a good time to upgrade for sure.

@beardfm 7 месяцев назад

That’ll feel like a huge speed boost coming from a 2017 also. Nice!

@PoisonedStudios 5 месяцев назад

Are you getting any scratches near the charging and usb-c ports? I’m thinking of going silver over the space black for that reason

Hi Stephen, Do you recommend buying a MacBook M3 Pro with 36 RAM if I specialize in architecture and like using Paralles and 3D software like Revit?

@timroberts3532 7 месяцев назад

Just bought mine yesterday and it's nice. Love the new color space black. I first bought the silver base model and had ordered it and then once I went to the store and seen the space black and more power and with the education discount couldn't resist. Love it. Thanks for the great video.

Do you have wireless CarPlay? I’ve been thinking about a mount like the one at 0:37 but I’m not sure if it’s just duplicative to have it mounted and not really in use, and mine needs to be wired.

Yes that CarPuride screen wireless CarPlay. You could get the Belkin car mount that doesn’t have a charger so it’s not wasted: amzn.to/47dVeW3

Hi @Stephen. I loved your video; thanks. I did order the same but chose the 11 core CPU and 14 core GPU, and 36gb RAM. Do you think I need to cancel and update to 12/18? My mane usage is online teaching and using multiple tabs and a virtual camera. I currently have the 16 inch 2019 with 32gb memory, but the it slows downs when I’m using the virtual camera with all the tabs. (Virtual camera is Manycam). Thank you again.

@beardfm 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! And no I think you made the right decision going more RAM. For your work and the tabs, that’s more important and you wouldn’t see a noticeable difference with a couple more cores

My last MacBook lasted me 10 years although the last year was very painful it was a 2012 model but then I upgraded to the M1. It was like a night and day unbelievable so I’ve got a M1 pro I believe 64 gigs of ram 2 TB SSD if I had to do over again, I would not have bought so much computer, but my thought of the time was is to try and make another 10 year run, I think what I’ll do going forward once I wear this one out and maybe I’ll get 10 years I don’t know is I’ll look more to a five-year upgrade cycle but I’m wondering maybe you said it I’m only halfway through video why did you upgrade out of your M1 just to an M3? It seems like your M1 is super capable machine. Do you have something specific you’re going to do with the M3? I would love to hear about that. Thank you.

@beardfm 7 месяцев назад

It was a totally unnecessary upgrade 😅 and I don't really spec my laptops up because a Mac Studio is my main editing and production machine. That I may upgrade to the M3 Max if there's significant improvements, but more likely I'll wait for M4 or M5 for a reasonable upgrade cycle.

@chmohn 7 месяцев назад

What did you use for filming, and how did you connect your microphone. I often find myself needing a third hand if I do tutorials and vlogs.

@beardfm 7 месяцев назад

Actually filmed most of it on an iPhone 14, sometimes used the Osmo mobile gimbal, and the Rode Wireless GO ii actually records locally on device even if there is no transmitter present. So I connected to my Mac via USB-C, imported the audio files right off the mic, and synced them with a multicam clip in Final Cut!

@chmohn 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, I have the Røde Wireless GO (without the ii), so I'll get to testing if they also record locally. That would be nice to be able to just use one @@beardfm

Congratulations on your sweet new laptop. I listened to the podcast this morning. Have you told William yet you did go ahead with the purchase? I bought a M1 Max MacBook Pro and used it as a desktop. That was before Apple announced the Mac Studio. The M1 Max MacBook Pro was loaded. It will be hard to get my money out of it so I will just keep it and use it as an in-house mobile device. I did buy a M2 Ultra Mac Studio. I'm looking forward to the M3 Ultra and waiting to see how insane it is. I hope Apple offers the Mac Studio in space black.
