What a very fair and detailed review - as I've come to expect from you! I love to see you covering stuff a little outside the traditional gaming sphere - your talent cannot be constrained! I personally own one of these, and while I still use Windows machines for gaming and my day job, using the Macbook feels like driving a luxury car. Probably my favourite feature is the battery and the sleep/wake functionality. I can go days without using it and the second I open the lid - boom - it's right there, barely any battery has been drained, and I can use it instantly. It's a different paradigm than I use on Windows, where I absolutely never trust sleep/wake, and always shut down and startup between major usage sessions. I almost never shut down or restart the Macbook. It sounds like a small thing, but to me it's a game changer. Love your channel!

@AlejandroLZuvic 2 года назад

It's something we MacBook users take for granted, like you said, not a big deal! But every time I get to see a PC person taking out their laptop and waiting a few momentos for just, well... start using it, it feels odd.

@MarbsMusic 2 года назад

Excellent review! After no using MacOS since the late 90s (did from 84 to 97 or so) I traded for an M1 Air. I enjoyed it so much I bought a MBP 16" upon release and have been very happy. I have 4 son and have been building PCs since the late 80s so we have multiple gaming PCs and 3 of them have gaming laptops with my youngest running an XPS 15 (2021 model i9). Doing more creative work the MBP is truly phenomenal but with the battery life I'm simply used it more as a laptop than any other laptop I've owned over the past 30 something years. I hate having to plug in all the time and my last laptop, Alienware 15" (10th gen i7, 2060) burned through the battery, like most gaming laptops in quick order. As I don't play a lot of FPS anymore the MBP runs the games I play (WoW, Diablo, FFXIV) just fine... I don't see Apple, maybe I'll be wrong in a few years, ever truly focus on gaming so I'm sure I'll always have a Windows gaming desktop but from a laptop perspective, this is the best all around I've ever owned. It did take me a bit to get use to MacOS again but one of the pluses is that it's also based upon BSD/NeXT so you have the terminal and scripting options of UNIX if you want to take advantage of those. I was so excited to see this video as you are my go to source on gaming laptops and your review have helped a great deal over the years in purchasing decisions for the boys.

I've used MacOS for 10 years now, and I still find some things quite weird. For me, it's way slower to work in MacOS than in Windows. Due to the high prices of the new Macbook Pro's I will probably switch back to a Windows laptop for my next laptop.. Even though I doubt a Windows laptop will last 10 years, like my current MBPro has :)

@chuboasshippo2181 2 года назад

Yea I had to use it in school my whole life. I never liked it much either

@andyH_England 2 года назад

It was the other way around for me. I tested Windows and Macs with my workflow and I was much more productive with a Mac. I suspect that was because I was in the ecosystem but maybe also that I just liked how it works compared to W7/8 when I moved over. W10 now and W11 are a lot more refined and mac-like (virtual desktops and such like) so they are closer than they have ever been, but for me it is the devil you know, and Mac is my goto device still.

@NOT_A_TOP_FAN 2 года назад

Yep. Been on the new MacBook Pro for a month, and while the battery and NEVER hearing a fan is fantastic…. It is a beat down to navigate things in MacOS. Shortcuts are hard to form muscle memory and trying to remember command, option command, shift - option - command… sometimes it just seems a bit much. after so many years with Windows, navigating within Apps in a apple is is very cumbersome… you can Alt tab but not seeing individual windows of each open App sucks…and then sometimes Apps are hidden and aren’t even visible with Alt tab. So yeah, the MacBook is a great laptop, but the MacOS experience just isn’t that great for me….

@AlejandroLZuvic 2 года назад

@@NOT_A_TOP_FAN there is a shortcut to navigate different windows of the same app, although I agree it works terribly when some windows is hidden. One thing I like about macOS is that you can customize almost any shortcut, except copy and paste I think. But yeah, even stuff like switching desktops, calling Mission Control, all those shortcuts are customizable. I like macOS because there's a real UNIX Terminal and it comes with zsh and many other tools I use as a developer. Most of the time I forget about the OS, and with Homebrew it's just like Linux. I know there's Windows for Linux Subsystem but the last time I tried it didn't work for my use cases very well. Really, if Apple could improve macOS' window management, that'd make the system great.

@jesusbarrera6916 2 года назад

@tommybazar 2 года назад

I've just recently started using MacOS because of switching to a new job (developing for iOS) and I feel exactly the same way as you. The differences are small, but I just don't feel at home using the OS. Nevertheless, MacOS definitely has advantages over Windows and I hope that this competition will lead to both of the OSes implementing the best features from the other one in the long run. Same with the sillicon, I'm SO glad that Apple entered the sillicon market and is threatening Intel and AMD in their own game and I'm extremely looking forward to Intel releasing their GPUs for the same reason. Finally, newcomers coming in and breaking the decades-old duopolies! We might be entering a new golden age of hardware improvement :)

Despite the terrible game support, upgradability, repairability, hefty pricing, and less than impressive port selection, I really wish gaming laptop brands learned from this device's amazing battery life, build quality, battery power performance, form factor, screen, low fan noise, power brick and speakers

@shayan9571 2 года назад

There's nothing to learn, it has a great battery life because it has a different chip architecture (arm), it's like sayin car manufacturers should learn from bicycle manufacturers because bicycles use less fuels than cars

@poemontyperacer 2 года назад

I probably don't realise the extent to which arm differs from other chips. Maybe it's a very long shot, but I feel like if a solution offers dramatically improved battery life with similar performance, there definitely **is** something to learn from it.

@poemontyperacer 2 года назад

True, tee jay. Though I can't shake the feeling that with apple, we're always overpaying a little, compared to other brands. Would be nice to see another brand offer their take at a device with some of these strong points, and maybe less of Apple's flaws -- even if it might end up targeting as small a niche of customers as the macbook does.

@poemontyperacer 2 года назад

As I'm writing this, I'm starting to realise what such a device would look like (excepting arm), and that gives me a beginning of an answer as to why nobody does it. I dunno. My gut feeling is that gaming laptops are ugly and not so well rounded, but these are interesting times for them, and that's becoming less and less true. I'll wait and see

@DerpEye 2 года назад

There's nothing to learn from it for gaming laptops. It's not a gaming laptop. It's basically a smartphone in a notebook format, hardware wise. What i want from a gaming laptop is power (in games), good specs, upgradability, good price. All of which this macbook is lacking. You should compare this with the likes of Thinkpad and such, not Legion (talking about Lenovo for ex.).

Therefore I decided to go for the Razer Blade 17 with 4k, which resembles "Windows machine with Apple design" ... and yes, you CAN upgrade both SSDs and both RAM slots here, which is impossible with Apple.

One point about the display, the resolution is not random. Apple's retina displays are designed to offer perfect 2:1 scaling at approximately 220ppi. The resolution of the 15" macbook pro that came before the 16" was 2560x1800. Apple scaled that so the image looked like 1440x900. The 16.2" display is slightly larger than the 15.4" model used when retina was first introduced. To offer the same 2:1 scaling with the same ppi on the larger display, the resolution had to increase to 3456x2234. This scales to look like 1728x1117 in the default setting.

@AlejandroLZuvic 2 года назад

Yes, although these new screens bumped the PPIs to 254. BTW, I think the "retina" resolution in the MacBooks are the sweet spot, they aren't 4k (which is ridiculous in a screen this size) but it's way more than 1440p.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe there are any other laptop models that have a *good* 1080p camera in like a very small bezel. The macbook imo has the best compromise of decent webcam quality vs bezel size. The XPS series for example has a really bad webcam in the top bezel. The 2022 model may change that, but it's just something I've noticed a lot of people are either overlooking or just not mentioning.

I'd give another 1/2 point on the ease of reparability because apple left a pinchable double tape below the battery to help replacing them. I had to yoink out a ballooning battery in the 2017 MBP and that thing took a lot of effort to remove.

Unfortunately probably not, unless I can borrow one from someone else. It's just not worth me spending $4000 AUD and a week+ of my time to make a video that will make like $300. I was only able to do this one because I borrowed the laptop from Hardware Unboxed.

However, I got the 16" M1 Pro (base) because ... well, it does everything else better than the Dell.

@madcrowmaxwell 2 года назад

Honestly, the outrageous markups for upgraded RAM and storage are the biggest negative for this. The slow panel is also problematic. With all the panels out there with similar wide gamuts but much better response times. Why Apple couldn't have picked one is beyond me.

@MacA60230 2 года назад

Because even if the colour gamut on paper is the same, Miniled gives you close to OLED-tier blacks AND 1600 nits of HDR brightness, things you can't find on any current IPS. Best of both worlds really... outside of games. Which sums up these macbooks very well thinking about it. Best in class or close to in most things... but not for gaming.

@andyH_England 2 года назад

It is not a gaming device so response times are not essential but if they were you would buy a faster response monitor for that need.

@madcrowmaxwell 2 года назад

@@andyH_England You need fast enough response times to avoid ghosting and smearing when scrolling text windows and web pages. Which the current MacBook Pro/Max screens apparently don't.

@goldmastersimulations 2 года назад

@@madcrowmaxwell Agreed. Look at the "Exploration" edition of Lenovo Legion 7 that's available in China. It has a 165Hz QHD miniLED 100% Adobe RGB and DCI-P3. It also has much faster response time. Lenovo is even planning to release the miniLED Legion 7 internationally later this year. Therefore, Apple is lying about Liquid Retina XDR Display being the best notebook display on the market.

@andyH_England 2 года назад

@@madcrowmaxwell It is def not perfect yet, and it may simply be software bugs/optimisation. Certainly when the iPhone 13 Pro got 120Hz it was a work in progress for four months and now on the latest beta it is as fluid in the apps that have updated. Like many new features on whatever platform, it is not an instant on button to get it 100%. I know Apple, Dell, Samsung et al will get there in the end and even MS may get there with the Duo eventually (also the new Surface Pro still does not have dynamic refresh despite being promised). You are hard on tech, give it some time. I certainly will not downgrade to another laptop over what may be a temporary response time differential!

I have the 14" version and my only complaint is referenced in this video; the notch does not have faceID, which IMO should have. The notch, while not massive, seems to have the space for it, so it really feels like Apple got cheap on buyers. Additionally, the fact that the mouse just 'passes' under the notch feels like an excuse for not implementing faceID. It seems to me like the notch is literally implemented on the display, which is why it behaves this way, and so Apple has a reason to give for not implementing a better camera system. Overall, love the machine.

Hey Jarrod I have a question... Can you please tell if using DLSS or FSR reduce vram usage at the same settings as compared to native rendering? If it does, how much does it reduce because if it does then it might be sort of a workaround to run the games at settings for which it might usually show vram limitation. Didn't find any real tests regarding this so I need your help.

@JarrodsTech 2 года назад

To be honest it's not something I've looked at. Measuring VRAM is difficult because I think it's harder to work out how much is actually being used vs how much has been allocated.

@markjacobs1086 2 года назад

You do have less pixels to do actual work on so I suspect VRAM usage goes down a little bit. However do take note that both FSR & DLSS have more overhead than just running a lower resolution. To actually measure that in practice though is going to be very though. Most programs (as mentioned) don't report actual VRAM usage & rather show allocation (for which you obviously allocate more than you need to circumvent the unfortunate case of another program demanding VRAM whilst the current program also wants more VRAM resulting in bad performance drops). Even if you find a program that does "expose" actual usage it's usually nothing more than an estimation given by the hardware inside (memory controller) & you simply don't really know how accurate that actually is.

The past MacBooks been said to have about 1000 cycles per battery… are these new macbooks in that level too or have they made the batteries last a lot longer, and if so, how did they make that work?! My macbook 12 inch battery lasted on a great performance level 2-3 years but the last 4 years after that was a horror… I sold it in january for 550 euro and had paid about 18000 euro for it in 2015 November,,,, now I need to upgrade and wish the Macbook Air will come with an M2 chip that will be good to handle one core projects….
