The ONLY M3 MacBook Model You Should Buy! 

Same with going from M3 max binned to unbinned is not 300$ its more than double. Apple isn just gifting you free 12GB of memory lol

Yeah this is unfortunate. I can’t trust the entire video if he didn’t do enough homework 😅

Are you facing any slowdowns or stuttering when using your M1 MBP?

Upgrade to 1tb of storage and at least 16gb of memory but if you edit A LOT of videos you probably need at least 32gb of memory. Hope that helps

Whats the veredict, if you don't mind me asking? What do you use it for? Photo? Video?

@@afonsords We, my wife and I have this as a desktop replacement for our old iMac (Intel). Since we use a dual log-in we needed more SSD. She works in Software Devp.

@@patrickcallahan2885 Thank you so much!

I mean storage space can be extended with an external SSD or HDD but RAM cannot be increased.

There is no revit for Mac OS

@@marieva3821 then why is there a revit for mac on the autodesk website?

If your not touching machine learning you should be fine with even an Apple air

For what you’ll do the M2 MBA is more than enough but if the price is close then go for the M1Pro MBP, the M1Pro Chip even though older will still outperform the M2 chip on the MBA, just my two cents.

Depends on if you are using crazy big Kontakt libraries and SD3, etc…

Yo creo que el M2 max con 32 GB es mejor.

@@officialArthurwinner What surprise?

Is 96 enough? Or do you need to go to 128?

Even with 128 you'll be quantizing. 96 should be enough for falcon 40b using fp16.

😂😂 fr, YT channels nowadays go for the most clickbaity titles possible without double checking the content!

Second hand M1

@@apexxx09 thank you for saving me 8 minutes, gonna click away and look for another video lol

Appreciate it, wont waste my time here, fucking time thiefs..

Literally

It also won’t be supported as long as the M3 Pro

At least 16g

Yea I noticed that too in several different cases... very sneaky website design...

That’s Apple for you lol selecting things for you in the background 😂😂

did you ever need warranty work with your 2013 mbp?

@Howard_3_Duck none actually. I'm shocked it works so well. The screen has been peeling for some time though. Speakers went bad too

I reckon you should just go with the m3 max model. or if portability doesn't matter, you can get a custom built windows machine if you want. it is a much higher price to performance ratio than the m3 ultra.

@@oppenheimerbobm I'd like to research and build an ultra-quiet and powerful PC or explore recommended brand models. My budget is up to the price of the M3 Max.

Given your use case I'd go with the 15" Air. You save up money vs the 14" M3 and get more screen to work with, not to mention the M2 with 16 GB RAM should be enough for heavy Excel use.

Go over to Alex Ziskind. He can definitely advise you and there's a very active developer community over there.

Why would be the MBA M1 or M2 not enough?

You might miss the amazing display of the 16 inch.

why do you even look for a new laptop when you have m1 pro mbp 16'. Some of you are just idiot consoomers

​@@oliverlisonstrong agree

I'm using MBP 2018 and able to run Sonoma as well. 8gb here and good enough for some webdev, little bit video editing and Photoshop. Memory is about 6-7gb, but i'm using a lot of tabs in Chrome as well. Waited for M3... but now when I'm looking these specs etc... Some things are off - at least for me. This 8gb base and removing thunders + some small things that will bother me if i'm going for long term. My MBP 2018 have 4 thunders by default. Currently I don't need any more power and I get my tasks done. For video side it will be good to have better specs, but it's not my main thing here. At the moment not sure about 2 229 € investment for 16gb M3. But you never know... still love M3 stuff. If i'm looking your case... U have early 2016 12" no ports basically + you need do sit with Monterey. I would probably upgrade to M3 16gb model. Especially if you going for long term as well, it's worth it. My friend using MacBook Air from 2012, but it's not like everyday use... time to time some video calls and Word/Excel. But no updates anymore.... But if you using some more powerful laptop for gaming then probably you can run other tasks as well on it. Why don't you use it for work? Windows for gaming and for work you use MacBook? Ask from your company? Or if you're freelancer and want to have separated MacBook for work etc in the feature then go for M3 16gb, it's worth it at the end of the day. But the thing is that for you in USD M3 16gb vs M3 Pro base model, the difference is only 200 dollars. If you have voucher it will be even less. If there is only 100 USD difference for you then go for M3 Pro base 14" and you run another 5-7 years with it. Maybe you start playing games there... if Apple supports.

I think it’s massive overkill to go for 64gb and 2tb if you are not a heavy video editor or photography. I think you would even be good with a Macbook Air for your usage. Saves a lot of money😊

@@MMCC00he just wants the best MacBook leave him alone 😂

@@greveeen 😅

SSD is storage. If you’re curious about performance than consider the cores. If you’re planning to do A LOT of work with files and such, get the 1tb. However, with a 500gb ssd you can also buy external storage later (samsung has good ones under $100 ive heard) hope that helps

Only you know that. Are you stressing the limits of your M1 Max for what you do? If not then there’s your answer!

Hey, congrats for your new mbp!. I've been meaning to buy the same configuration as well. Could you please comment on this once you've received your product and have a hands-on on the same. Would be of great help.

@@akhileshsarjit321 yes for sure, should arrive on release date I will let you know what I noticed different.

@@juanlondono8338 thanks mate!

@@akhileshsarjit321 Hey man thought i'd come back to this once i had it and used it for a bit i received it today, setting up the two external monitors i had took some time because the drivers of the dock station i have didnt want to work, but overall it has been a breeze through my workload, i have multiple tabs open with PDF's, Wordpress, adobe, lightroom, games and it feels like it is not making me slower it is amazing!

How are you liking it? Is yours the 18gb ram & 18 core GPU +1tb ssd? I just ordered this configuration. I video edit with 4k up to 8k. Hoping that it can handle it. I bought a base model M2 air last year for $1250. Terrible performance. Luckily I was able to get $780 as a trade in for it at Best Buy. Which I thought was crazy generous. It made the upgrade a lot less painful.

I had the same question, and an employee from Apple told me that a M3 chip + 16Gb RAM upgrade would do the trick. Don't know if other people in the comments will share this thought though.

I'd personally say baseline M3 with 16gb of ram. The normal chip should do what you need just fine whilst you have the better ram capacity for your editing. 14" is a good size, not too big and not too small, including it only weighs around 1.5kg. Which is definitely not a lot. If you do opt for the pro chip, I suggest avoiding the 14" model, as it'll negatively affect battery life. Lastly, avoid the new color. As cool as it is, I doubt it'll be resistant to fingerprints and demand for said color will be high. See it in person first if you can to formulate an opinion on it.

I agree. I take it some people like to refer to the M3 Max 14/30 as binned, while the 16/40 as unbinned, just to show off....

In den USA wird immer der netto Preis angegeben. Da kommt immer noch Steuer drauf. Aber ja 2000€ sind immer noch mehr als der Umrechnungspreis von 1599$ plus Steuern.

@@Johnny4200 das ist gut zu wissen. Danke!

21% VAT (Belgium). So yes after paying your income 35-55% tax you again have to pay 21% tax and that's from your net income. In USA it's called sales tax but it's usually only between 0% and 6% depending on the state.

@@officialArthurwinner We don't need your d**k pics.

still with tax included in the US it costs much less than in Europe. There is not even 1 to 1 ratio USD to EUR@@Johnny4200

you cannot upgrade ram or memory on these computers in the future.

so you got 18gb Ram which is unified memory and cannot be modified. Apple Mac Book Pros now are like phones, you get them with a fixed storage and that's it. no upgradability. That must be good for the environment I reckon.... :D

That's a really practical reasoning. What about getting a MBAir 15 inch with 500Gb and 24GB? I'm a photographer so lots of photos and videos to manage. :)

if you're a apple user you dont need those insane specs, anything your doing that needs those specs should be done on windows or linux

Not true, I do extremely long Timelapses working with thousand of photos at a time (100’s of GB) I’ll take all the performance and memory I can get.

⁠@@crazywarp36that makes no sense, i’m a software developer and need 64 gb ram for large scale ai models where i’m testing and creating large model llms. for testing i use multiple virtual machines inside my mac for windows 11, linux etc. honestly the m1 chip really blazes through but planning on upgrading to the m3 max 64 gb ram and 2 tb ssd. my 1 tb filled up real fast. do i need it? probably not but i think its worth it

personally i would. i’m all about future proofing and think that would be better

@@crazywarp36 I highly disagree on windows. Linux wipes the floor with windows in terms of performance. Windows is also adware disguised as an operating system. And if you don’t work at your home all the time and need a laptop a MacBook is ideal. Windows/linux laptops sucks. Maybe with new windows arm laptops they might be able to compete, but as of now they are nothing more than desktop computers that are easier to move around. You still need to be plugged in somewhere or else you’ll lose so much performance and battery life on those things are a joke

Wow i couldnt think of something that would use 100 gb ram until now, most ive used was 12 i think

On windows modded minecraft

bro no way music production needs 128gb I produce (albeit trying to upgrade) with 8 on a 2017 macbook pro

@@joeys02 You'd be very surprised that 64-128 GB of RAM are required when doing those big scores for films/games. Kontakt libraries are infamous for how much CPU and RAM they take up. Now if you're producing EDM which is not as demanding, 16-32 gigs is probably all that is really needed.

@@joeys02I know a friend who uses 230+ gb of ram on windows for this sort of stuff.
