Today I compare my 2021 Macbook Pro with the M1 Pro chip against my 2018 Intel i7 Macbook Pro. I like to really see how it goes just regular everyday use rather than looking at things like benchmarks, so that's what I discuss.

Very helpful. Have the same i7 Macbook but with 32GB/1TB, but since I do not do that much video, so I can probably wait for some more time.

@johnsmithoninsta 10 месяцев назад

This video was super helpful! Your feedback led me to make a decision on a macbook pro with i7 after watching this and was able to score a really good deal. much appreciated. :)

I appreciate that you appreciate the touchbar, Other than it occasionally not working properly like you mentioned, I agree. It is cool.

@NickKendall Месяц назад

Yes! I still miss it haha

@wellokayyes1266 Месяц назад

@@NickKendall I’m still rolling with my 2016 i7 mbp :) Likely to upgrade to at least ‘21 m1 in the next year or so. I think one of the things that made the touchbar kind of special was how it made a step closer to interacting with mac via touching directly onto the screen. And, its intuition with presenting options with different apps trumps any experience alternatively with the F keys that were there before on previous versions.

@smnelse379 Год назад

what a pleasant review. nice and colourful 👍 btw how does the new mac heat comparing to the old one? does it speed up the fan cooler during simple tasks like browsing, youtube or editing photos?

@NickKendall Год назад

Thanks 😊 It’s heaps better than the old one in terms of heat. I only hear the fan turn on if I’m exporting a large video project. Otherwise I basically never hear it. It’s great! The fan on my old one ran basically from as soon as it turned on haha

How did you get those opening rotational shots so straight? You do them with the insta360 right? Super impressive. And yeah; portability is so important in a laptop. I hate lugging my legion 5 pro on the plane 😂

It's all the horizon lock in the Insta360 cam; makes it super easy! hahah yeah I could imagine!

@shakatfoo Год назад

Thanks. Enjoyed the video. I'm considering an M1 or M2 machine, but for much less money I can get an i7 with twice the RAM (16gig vs 8gig). I suspect doubling the RAM on an i7 machine would make up for the 35-30% performance boost I'd get from and M1/M2. (I'm interested in video editing.) Is that the case? Is a 16gig i7 machine the best budget option here?

@NickKendall Год назад

Well, I currently use an Intel Xeon iMac Pro with 32GB of memory at my work and my M1 Pro Macbook is still faster. And that's only with 16GB memory. Worth doing more research for sure but I'd maybe look more into the M2 depending on your budget.

@volodymyr3093 7 месяцев назад

I think its better if u want doing something else except just wait when rendering video.

@ralphreysupremo8734 Год назад

Great review. Would you mind me asking. Did you use a keyboard cover for your 2018 MBP for the entire duration you were using it?

@NickKendall Год назад

Thanks! No, I've actually never used a keyboard cover.

@swiftdetecting Год назад

you know what 2015 pro i7 with 16gb ram would be to M1 macbook air 8gb ? or would you need M1 Pro ? for video editing and photos

@NickKendall Год назад

Can't say for sure of course since I don't have a 2015 model, but I'd hazard a guess it would likely be a bit quicker. I reckon for photos you'd have no problems. My wife has an M1 Air with 8gb memory and I've using it for editing a couple of times and it was definitely good. I'd say it was maybe on par with my 2018 MBP. Hope that helps!

@JacobeOfficial 5 дней назад

Brother I've been searching for a comparison video for weeks like this.... I'm super torn between the m1 with 8gb or a 2019 i7 with 16gb ram. That may be dumb of me but I edit videos and some say 8gb isn't enough with the M1 chip so better to go for the i7 16gb... am I being stupid haha? Buying tomorrow so hopefully someone can get let me know which is the better bet! Great video

@NickKendall 5 дней назад

Hmm yeah I’d possibly go for the M1 over the i7 but if you can get it with 16gb memory it would be ideal. I have 16gb and I kinda wish I had gotten 32gb sometimes. I’ve found my M1 Pro renders a lot faster than my old i7 (in Final Cut at least). Hope that’s helps!

@jonathaborzicchi6212 5 месяцев назад

well watching the benchmark, I didn't expect this. Personally I'm still running my first MacBook Pro retina from 2012 early, this week I added a egpu thanks to open core software, it's a sonnet puck xt5500 and in open cl with Geekbench 6 score more than 39000, not far from m1 pro. ok it's only 4 core so it clear no competition as far as cpu tasks, but I cannot see why a later intel i9 ,or i7, like a MacBook Pro 2019 or a iMac 27 5k, or a Mac mini i7, or even a Mac Pro 6,1 from 2013 cannot compete well . O focuses probably in near future you will lose apple supports for these machine. But my point is you can find amaxzing deal right now for intel machine from 2019 2020, while new m Mac are much more expensive,

@maximilianm8026 Год назад

It s not worth the upgrade for me. I m using the i7 15" MacBook from 2018. I planned to upgrade when I just can't use my MacBook for university and work anymore. This will take a long time.

@NickKendall Год назад

That’s fair! The i7 is still a great machine! 👌🏼

@emf2482 Год назад

please never buy the I7, I have had a shit ton of problems with it. Flickering touch pad, battery needing service, random freeze, terrible heating issues, cpu problems u name it. This piece of shit costed 3k. Absolute joke

Touchbar is great 🎉

@NickKendall Год назад

It is! I still miss it haha

@Tech-geeky 8 месяцев назад

I hate touch sensitive buttons... It explains why I hated Samsung clamshell phones for the same reason.. The only snag is all i hate about Touchbar, is its all software controlled, which means depending on which app you use (and version of the app), they could change as "most frequent" "We" [developer] decides what is most frequent.. not end user using the app. Its a form of control. If it wasn't for that, maybe i'd like Touchbar...

@Tech-geeky 8 месяцев назад

Megasafe was good... but it seems Apple users just wish to find excuses to get it back again... When you don't have it, they want it back, and when they have it, they want something better..

difficult to say. m2 is impressive, but with MacBook Pro you can add an external gpu and it will be faster

@jonathaborzicchi6212 5 месяцев назад

@@barracklawyer5483 don't know. probably in cpu task you have an advantage, but gpu no. and with an epgu , investing 500 dollar you can destroy the m2 as far as gpu intensive task, plus bigger monitor. less battery of course.

which i7? theres like 50 of them. or is that another apple thing... to not tell its customers actual specs? Ya'll just use buzzwords like "i7" which is like saying OH man its mustang! so is it a v6 mustang? or the Shelby mustang? All the info I can find is M1 vs i7. 0 info on WHICH i7. Again. There's like 50 of them.
