Were you guys waiting for the new MacBook Pro or the new MacBook Air? P.S Letting you guys know that I found out why the new M2 MacBook Pro SSD is much slower than the M1. Inside the chassis, the M2 actually uses a single SSD chip to talk to multiple buses to transfer data. Meanwhile, the M1 actually uses 2 chips to communicate... In my opinion. It's really ODD as to why Apple would implement this design
Hi guys. I am aware of the heavy criticism this MacBook pro has. I looked between the m2 MacBook pro, M1 pro 14 and the new MacBook Air. I have a 5k mac desktop that I used for heavy graphics and architectural drawings so feel if I need that I can. I have had a career change and need a laptop for word processing large text files and blogging. I think if you need heavy graphical video work maybe consider the M1 pro. I decided on the MacBook m2 and opened it today and have to say I love it! It works so well for my needs, love the touch bar, no notch and the lovely compact form factor and keyboard with contrasting aluminium. I got the silver as it's less fingerprint prone and it reminds me of my old MacBook that I had for 11 years! Hope this helps others anxious about the critiques. I also think this machine will be very stable with it being just a processor upgrade from the previous one. I bought the 512 for many reasons mentioned here. I also kept it at 8Gb as my 5k runs on 8Gb and works great for Photoshop and 3d work, (not heavy rendering). Anything heavy id recommended 16Gb and move up to the 14 inches if you are a designer or architect or similar.. 👌👍
Same, I got the 14 M1 Pro I'm typing this comment while using it. I've been a Windows guy my whole life. Happy to say that I am LOVING the 14. Such an amazing machine. The screen, the 120hz pro res, the trackpad, the speakers, the battery life, the keyboard, the looks. Ticks every single box
I noticed something cool. Apple intentionally wanted reviewers to review the m2 macbook pros first, instead of the airs, as to build up a sense that the pro is really inferior to the air, plus all these people arguing brings in more traffic, which means more people will be anticipated for the m2 air reviews. Slick tactic!
I just ordered the Pro M2 (2022 model) for $1099. Not a bad deal. Ordered it through Costco online. I’m seeing bad reviews but I’m not understanding why. Nobody is really giving good reasons to avoid it, it’s more so people saying something better will be released in the future. It’ll do exactly what I need so I’m not too worried about it. I’ve had two other MacBooks and the latest one I had was a 2010 Pro lol worked great until my buddy’s dog sat on my backpack and crushed the screen 😅 It was time for an upgrade obviously so I wasn’t too upset. Had that one for over 12+ years. Looking forward to having a newer faster model again and got a good deal on it.
I like the fact they kept the design of the 2020 MacBook Pro cause I have an intel one and thought the Touch Bar thing was completely getting phased out in M chips. I do agree they could of did some slight upgrades make it more future-proof but we know components got recycled but still I think it’s good they kept it for the people who are into the bar on the keyboard. I would still pick this over the new design 14 and air. Videos are getting more sick each upload great production work and consistency always new content for us to view. Thx
A lot of developers still prefer this 13' MBP as the M1 Pro is a little overkill for most developer work and they still like the smaller form factor of the 13".
Amazing review with quirky humour , loving it!! And the journey all for this 😄👍thanks for the head up, as still in between 13“ or 14“ keep up the grandiose work 👏
Isn’t it a bit of a dumb move from Apple, because the laptop design is the exact same, and not the cool new design from the M2 Air. The performance wouldn’t me noticeably different day to day. It’s probably just a dump for al of the old 13inch chassis. Great vid tho, keep up the good work and have a great day Andres:D
…I don’t understand what people were expecting. Apple kept the design of previous generation(s) MBP because that’s what people like. The MBP already has a sleek design. What other changes were supposed to be made? It makes sense to change the design of for the M2 Air, as the Air has always had that unique, tapered design. As far as the MBP M2 is concerned, it honestly think it’s fine. It has the classic Apple design - like the rest of their products - and I wouldn’t expect them to be making any changes anytime soon.
That’s the point. They want you to see the MBP and think the MB Air is a more attractive purchase and sell more of those. For ppl who want more performance will go for the MBP.
I agree I agree. But if you come from a non apple machine or you have the old intel platform, its a good laptop. Although I am still on the fence due to the fact that the SSD is much slower. I am still waiting on the MacBook air .
Hey Andres Second time actually watching this video😅 I actually ordered this macbook and I’ve been trying to get a lot of views on it. I am an electrical engineering major first year though and I will be taking some programming classes and overall I hope it does what I need it for
Read & write speeds are slower on the M2 MacBook Pro because Apple decided to use only one NAND chip for the 256GB model, unlike its predecessor, the M1 MacBook Pro 256GB model which uses two 128GB NAND chips. Can you make a review video about the M2 MacBook Pro (Base Model) for programming and CS students, because I don't know if its really worth upgrading the RAM to 16GB
Looking at this in June 2024 with freshly bought M2 MacBook Pro 2022. On the basic level, I love how the machine stay cool after long hours of normal use. Not even fan is spin up during this long time. (Web Surfing, Music Listening, Netflix and RU-vid). Big thumbs up for Apple. However, a little of myself feel sorry for not buying for M2 MacBook Air with new design.
Which MacBook I should go for? MacBook Air M1 or MacBook Air M2! Please guide, will Macbook Air M1 feel outdated🙏🏻 Edit: I love your Videos, love from India♥️
I am think about getting this because I want to be a photographer. I will be upgrading from the MacBook Pro 2015 to the MacBook Pro 2022. Do you think I should upgrade to this MacBook Pro?
Would you think the base model (8GB RAM) will be enough to record and make acoustic music/songs with not more than 20 tracks per project, and to edit basic vlog videos (1080 & 4K)? I don't mind not being the fastest, I just want it to workable and able to cope with in roughly 5 years time.
should be i have a m1 mini and run all my native instruments and mpc one daws with it no problem only 8gb base version and i will be using my m2 for this as well.
2:41 "audible feature" is that referring to the startup chime? Am I the only one who turns the volume off when I don't need it to avoid hearing that every time, or is he referring to something else, not sure.
Hi, It is a good video thank you. I have a question. what do you think, which is sensible M2 Macbook pro 13" 512ssd 8gb RAM OR M2 Macbook Air 256 ssd 16gb RAM for future and daily using? (The prices are same)
Thanks for all the information that a good device ,but I can't buy it because it 's expensive .I wish I could find one of this type used ,but Unfortunately.Thanks 🙂
Hey! Andres great video. I wanted your suggestion regarding the new macs. I'll be starting my design degree this sept mainly dealing with ux/ui/graphic/web designing. So, I was thinking pf getting the new m2 air with 16gb ram and the 67 watt adapter. what do you think of it? I am confused at the moment but I guess your suggestion might help!!
thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I have a question: i want to buy my first Macbook and i need a Laptop which good for Pic and Video editing! Like for Instagram Reels, TikTok and RU-vid just a normal using! No special editing. What is the best one in your opinion? Thanx you
whats the point of actually buying something that's probably going to get replaced next year. also is it just me or does apple remove certain features only to bring them back in a few years. like why did they remove magsafe to bring it back?
How about the macbook air m2. Thinking about upgrading my old macbook pro 2015 to macbook air m2, but not really sure about it. BTW it’s for web development stuff 😁
I can already tell you its perfect haaha but let me review it first before you guys go ahead and buy it. I wanna try to spend a lot of time with it before releasing the review..
Hello Andres thanks for your video. I was wondering can you tell me what's the hub you use to have double monitor on this macbook pro, I have 2 monitors at home and one macbook air and I want to use my second monitor. Thanks a lot and keep going doing your great vids
I recently got the m2 pro 13 inch but regretting it because it doesn't really have big improvements like m2 air do.should I switch to m2 air? love your videos keep up the good work
at 8:40 - is the reason you recommend getting into the 14 inch pro for a7s files solely because it has 14-core gpu? would upgrading the ram and storage on the 13 inch m2 pro solve those problems?
Hello. I looked at different bloggers of programmers, the software engineer asked them a question about courses or resources where you can learn a software engineer step by step, no one can give advice. Can you help with advice about good courses ???
Loved your review. Any idea, of how the Macbook Air M2 machine will be responding to Web Based Development / Mobile app development using Visual Studio, Xcode, etc. I need help in choosing between M2 Air and M2 Pro.
Hello! Everything seem amazing but why I cannot have the possibility to change the ssd once it reaches the end because It does not make sense at least for me. Greetings.
