Why I Picked The M3 16" MacBook Pro Over the 14" 

Can you make a video explaining how best we can make video presentations, using which hardware and software. Whereby if we present something we also have a small window for our video, and where we can also write over slides. Thanks

Great points

Exactly. My bag stays in the overhead bin

I´ve only edited once on an airplane, and it wasn't a great experience, so yeah., you are right.

It's not only about screen size but also about performance. 16" is way superior than 14" when it comes to performance (with same spec).

@@Dardania true. As I said I used it both. Depending on what you do, that performance difference is quite subjective though. Again, O don’t want to carry around a tank for a performance that I would only need on my desk :) 14 is more than capable for most average joe.

16in isn't even bulky in my opinion

My bet is most people can't tell the difference between a M3 Max and Pro if they use both without knowing which one it is.

appriciated

Thinking about doing the exact same - M1 Pro 16 right now and thinking about the M3 Pro or Max (likely this one) 14 inch

A suggestion; install Mac fans control, it really helps with heat in the 14 for me anyway (m3 max) and it's free :)

@@minstrelca yesss

Where did you sell all that stuff? If you don't mind me asking...

eBay but the fees are out of control these days. It’s just easy.

Finally someone asking the real question, but they are not going to answer that are they..you know why? Because it truly is uncomfortable on the 16”. None of them are going to admit it, none of them are going to talk about it. From all the videos out there, not a single youtuber has touched this aspect or tested. They all talk how great the keyboard is, the trackpad etc..but none of them did the slightest test to show how the typing experience is. I had the 16” and just as you, I found it very uncomfy and being a serious hands injury threat,therefore had to go for the 14”. Loved the bigger screen, loved the slightly better sound, but typing was awful..my thumbs always touching that way too big trackpad, the sharp edge of the laptop cutting in my forearms tendons, my wrists always in an awkward position, putting pressure on the cubital. I really don’t understand how no one questions the layout on the 16”..that keyboard should be bigger given the laptop is bigger or at least towards the middle and that trackpad should be smaller just as it is on the 14” where its the perfect size..apple instead of making a bigger keyboard, they made a bigger trackpad..where’s the logic?

I have a 2019 15” i9 MBP. I’m sure the M3 is also infinitely much quieter!

@@mochachaiguy That's the one I had too! Great machine, but man this M3 Pro I got blows the Core i9 into the dust

The mystery is part of the allure.

Who knows anymore with AI!

Greg, What is the type of Apple Watch band you are using? I bought Apple Watch Ultra 2 and want an orange band. Thanks.

I ordered a 16 inch maxed out m3max with 64gb and 4tb as my 2015 maxed out 15 inch MacBook pro didn’t cope anymore with the statistical models i need to run and lightroom, photoshop and premiere pro were running really slow. Also hoping to do some light gaming though crossover. Should also be here tomorrow.

@@Superbus753 How is it working out for you?

120 pro motion but some people don’t mind it. The weight profile of the air is better at 15 inch than the 16 imo. If you don’t need super performance the 15 ain’t bad I just got it for 999

I’ve got the 16” M3, a 14” M1…. But, for some crazy reason my 15” M2 Air is tough to not use- feels smaller in the bag than the 14” Pro- extra screen real estate seems to be a bigger difference when using it than it actually is…I know I am supposed to like the Pro’s more… don’t miss 120hz or the superior Pro Display capability. My M2 15” Air might be my favorite MacBook right now. Also- I don’t use the computer in my bag for much heavy lifting.

After playing intensively in the Apple Store with all models I got the 15". In terms of screen colours' and quality, they all look the same to me. The higher refresh rate is not as noticeable as on iPhones. For productivity and immersion the 16>15 >>> 14>13. If you use your laptop for 3d renderings get the 16" Pro M1. For anything else get the 15 air with 16/512 configuration.

did it give you sight beyond sight? that wasn't mentioned in the keynote.

😂

More ports?

I did it for mine as some statistical models i need to run need more than 30gb ram

There are quite a few lighter 16" laptops. Two that come to mind are the Lenovo Thinkpad Z16 at 1.9kg (AMD based so reasonable battery life although nowhere near Mac levels) and the Thinkpad P1 at about 1.8kg (Intel based so poor battery life but can be specced with very high end GPU's for gaming). The MacBook 16 is a very, very, wonderful machine but it is a little on the heavy side.

You are comparing it with gaming laptops!! 😂😂😂

Those you mentioned are for GAMING 😂😂😂

I was reading that’s more of a premiere pro issue than it is the RAM. 18 should be more than enough. Switch to Final Cut

@@fr3ddy1461 I saw it do that when I used Final Cut Pro too on M1 Pro. This was remedied on the M3 Pro.

How much storage did you get?

Why please help me decide

Yeah just got the 16in m3 max (binned version) and when cranking it it still gets quite hot but I imagine it’d be even hotter on the 14in

Im getting a maxed out M3 max next week so remind me to tell you. I expect more noise, i dont plan to play too long on ultra 4k unless i buy a cooling plate. Most of the time i dont expect any fan noise at all

Go to Displays and check "Show all resolutions". There is all the increments you're looking for.

you get more granularity if you turn on "show resolutions as a list" under display>advanced, and then "show all resolutions" to get a full rundown

@@konstidog Thank you! I'll have a look at it next time I'm there.. probably Thursday.

You are wise

Greg is not a real world user. He is a Tuber who has to play with them all to attract and ‘entertain’ viewers to his channel

I already go to the gym lol

lol

Id connect those dots but its a weird thing im 7ft 320lb and i still like the feel of the 14 though it doesnt "fit" me and the 16 feels way better size wise its a strange thing lol

@@frostgodxWe all see the world through a different filter, you know? I have a M3 Pro 14 and a M2 Pro 16 sitting right beside me right now. Performance wise, they’re almost identical. However, every time I pick up the 14, it doesn’t feel like a $2200 device. It feels more like a $1300 M2 Air 13. The 16 feels like a $2500 device though. I’m sending the 14 back because I simply don’t like how small and cheap it feels in my hands.

actually at the end he praises his older 14 inch quite a lot... seems like he loved it so much it makes the 16 inch m3 max sitting next to it seem like a lesser device... to me it seems like he actually prefers the 14 inch format
