M1 MacBook Pro and Air review: Apple delivers
Vložit

- Apple has updated three Mac with its own M1 processors: the Macbook Air, the entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the Mac mini. Will Intel-based apps run? Will they be fast? Will they live up to Apple's battery life claims? Nilay Patel and Dieter Bohn have a thousand questions, and almost all of them have been answered.

Has Apple done enough to help you trust its all new processors?
Waiting on people to install + test Linux distros
Happy Diwali to all hardworking the verge employees
Is it overheated when you edit videos?
Selling a few old lenses to Adorama as we speak towards a M1 MacBook Pro.. We shall see...
Nope. Gen1 is a big no for me. M2, though? Sure.
I don’t think people actually understand how “RIDICULOUS“ this actually is..
a x86 app running with translated software and performing better than in a native system is !CRAZY! 🤯
Yeah this is really impressive stuff!
Exactly. This should be talkd about more. It's just ridiculous that non-native transpiled apps are performing better than they perform on x86 chips.
And that is how apple beats microsoft on arm chip race... this first gen arm chip already blew everything away unlike what happened to Surface Pro X last year
The only crazy thing here is that 720p camera 😂
@@USNEM Google used the same camera in the Pixel for 4 years... and just updated it with software... no reason to think that Apple can't do some of that here...

Return it maybe
I'd say.. poor souls that choose a mac in the first place, M1 chip or not.. Read my reply to "Anthony Jiang"..
I bought a MacBook Pro right before the transition because I wanted to have Windows. I don’t regret it.
@@princesidon I think I've found intel's only customer base moving into 2021
Meh, not really. I have the 2020 Air but couldn’t have waited until now to get the new one.

Very true
Agree..
They try to keep sell Mac with intel haha

Adding a touchscreen would add 9,999 premium to the price. They just making a breakthrough charging the same for m1 from intel. So why would they want to rush everything? Adding another trillion annually is what they do.
What is crazy is that this is the weakest chip Apple will ever make for a laptop. Next year’s 16 inch MacBook Pro is going to be a BEAST.
@Chrono they’re not gonna make a less powerful chip in a more expensive computer
@Chrono we all know that already.
My thoughts exactly, this is fantastic
I don’t think that 16 inch MacBook will be much difference
Maybe a m1x and ofc that 16 inch screen
Probably like 5 - 20% better performance on an m1x
But let’s hope that 2021 MacBooks get touchscreen
Now super excited for the 16-inch. It's probably gonna scream, quietly.
I got mine less than a year ago and I'm curious about the upgrade, but I'm not looking forward to trying to max out the ram.
Hi rich people's🖐️🖐️🖐️
There are rumors that Apple will refresh its 16 inch MBP with 10th gen intel CPUs for one last time before transitioning to Apple Silicon. Don't get your hopes up too soon

“Chrom pushes the battery DOWN to 8-10 hrs” ok Apple weren’t kidding when they said the battery life improved. Imagine getting 8-10hrs using chrome on any other Mac/windows laptop 😂

3:34 these shots of the big sur wallpaper reflecting on the keyboard and space grey aluminum are stunning
That side by side review and the way they look at each other when one is talking is next level production quality.
yeap like it,
I'm writing this comment on an iPod touch with the A5 chip which was the second attempt at designing their own chipsets and the first dual core one. I remember how awed everyone was back then. It debuted in 2011, this device is from 2013 (this is a 16gb) and it's running an iOS from 2015. It's amazing how far this trend went in less than 10 years...
These guys are too good! Been watching these reviews for years now, Nilay is amazing and Dieter is also great and add a new point of view, which is always welcome.
Yeah the laptops are all nice and dandy but can we take a moment to appreciate how well made this video is? Y’all at The Verge need a raise.
they are gobbling up those apple cods for the big bucks
Apple Silicon in Mac's looks really promising! This change could be huge, not just for Apple, but the whole industry in the coming years.
They're still grossly inferior to AMD's Zen 3 CPUs though, so no, not at all. The Verge are just known Apple fanboys.
@@xOogieBoogie3x AMD doesn't have Zen 3 laptop CPUs...
@@xOogieBoogie3x They should be worse than ZEN 3, if it weren’t, the M1 chip would be insane. Keep in mind that it will be the lowest end Apple Silicon chip for Mac’s so. Still tho, it got a more powerful single-core or at least it matches the single-core scores of ZEN 3 and this is while using 1/5 of the wattage. Apple are off to a very good start with Apple Silicon, now we just need to wait and see if they can scale it up to compete with AMD in desktop as well. If you don’t think the M1 chip is looking impressive than I don’t know what kind of insane performance gains you are expecting.
@@hunterherobrine5209 I meant Zen 2+
The M1 is comparable to a 4000 series Ryzen 5.
@@xOogieBoogie3x Based on what? How do you compare them?
This is mind blowing. Looking at how well ARM did on Windows, I didn’t have high hopes for Apple Silicon, and yet Apple has completely shattered my expectations.
Late comment but ARM never did well on Windows. Microsoft even stopped using ARM based chips on their Sufrace devices and started using Intel chips instead. Also they discontinued Windows 10X which never did run well on ARM based devices so not sure what do you mean by saying "Looking at how well ARM did on Windows" which never happened.
@@Shawn.Shooter whooooooosh
@@Shawn.Shooter you must be fun at parties.
Great review. Love the team up. Can’t wait to see how intense video editing holds up on the inevitable 16” MBP M1.
iOS apps being available on macOS could be huge for security and privacy. Banking for example. If I can use my banks iOS app on macOS, I don't have to go to their website in a web browser, where I could accidentally mistype the URL, or be subject to a browser exploit, man-in-the-middle or phishing attack etc.
Yeah but its not executed well, then not a great experience for the customer even if the alternative Is available.
@@Mahalakshmi-Khan I think it will be ok.
It can still be hacked lol, apple security is not government grade
No. Most of the time you get "hacked", it's because you stupidly use stupid password, or put your password unencrypted digitally, or someone social engineers you, which is basically your fault.
See long story short. For a company like Apple, who charges such an exorbitant price for their products and services, they better be the best in class. That is expected from them. Nothing to be so geeked about.
Guys- This editing and camera work is incredible, and its still legitimately informative. Truly well done.
Apple hardware engineers have done an amazing job. They got a lot of experience designing chips for the iPhone and now they applied it for the notebooks. Can't even wait for the second generation of these things.
I feel like y’all saved me money cuz I’ll get the air instead of the 13” pro
@Dave Chapelle based on this video and my needs as of right now everything I need is in the air and the pro is more beefy in what it can do but both reach expectations. Don’t get me wrong I’d like the pro but given the way things are it would be better for me to save the money and go with the Air.
8G or 16G？I'm struggling
@@parole1768 Is your livelihood dependent on editing videos or making music? If not take the 8GB memory. Apple has optimised its software to fully stretch out that 8GB memory using their M1 chip so you won't feel sluggish working on it.
I mean its like the iphone 12 vs 12 pro.
@@hirakaiko5570 you clearly have never used Final Cut
I'm honestly so surprised that this went as well as it did. I wasn't expecting a dumpster fire or anything, but I was not really expecting much better than Intel based macs on non-native apps. Great job Apple. I have to say though, I had much higher hopes for the webcam after hearing about the better image processing. The main reason that webcams look so bad is the lack of a good strong ISP in normal computers. That truly is a dumpster fire.
That webcam problem is a hardware limitation. Excellent software and image processors can back up a below average hardware to a certain extent.
The problem isn't actually the hardware. It's the distance from the pcb. You see it with windows 2-in-1s. Their webcams are so much better than the laptops because the image data can be processed by the cpu directly. On laptops, the wired runs are via USB 2.0, which is terrible for latency and throughput.
I'm actually using the web cam, (I upgraded from a MacBook Pro i5) it's much better than on the previous Macs, these guys are lying basically, because unexpectedly they couldn't find any other faults with the M1!
Linus from linustechtips grumbles in the background about being sceptical...
@@jackdominiak445 it’s more about the fact that compared to almost every other laptop at similar price points you get a much better camera. It’s also the fact that more people are working at home and would expect a very good camera on a “Pro” machine rather than just an ok one. It’s apple being stingy again, as they are with reducing ports, and expensive r]RAM and storage upgrades. It’s right to call them out on this every single time rather than just accept it. Having said all that, these laptops and the apple mini are impressive, and I’m kind of tempted to get a Mac mini now. I see a lot of comments from windows users who are curious as well.
To be fair, the fan on the old macbook air was about as useful as not having one at all. xD
It's why apple removed the fan on the new Apple Silicon MacBook Air to remove production costs and reap those profits ;)
@@Jay_Script so cool ! minus two dollars on each laptop, definetely will bring back apple to the market and finally beat all its competitors !
@@PersepolisBand The fan costs like $20. You know that apple will sell these airs in millions. Now do the math.
@@sourav7162 5$ on Ali express to buy so lmao thanks late, as if a minus even 5$ cost on a computer was a reason for a company to change a design architecture
@@PersepolisBand Apple parts are usually more expensive.
Does the fan on this laptop go full throttle as well when connected to an external monitor?
The script of this video, the direction, the editing, the music and of course the review itself can all be summarized with one word: "PRICELESS!". In my opinion, this video outshines almost every other past Verge video. To all the people who put this video together, keep it up! And, thanks.

Great duet you guys! Such a quality review with some personality
I LOVE that you guys did this review together. I don’t even want a new laptop let alone a MacBook but this video was fantastic and just fun to watch!
Steve Jobs died 9 years ago, but it's only today that I am convinced that Apple could live without him. They really can innovate.
I was convinced when they launched the iWatch and AirPods. Hopefully this leadership will continue into the future. Apple can best be described in two words: Innovative ecosystem
I agree
The move to its own processor is part of Jobs's plan in 2008 just a year after the launch of iPhone. Not only that, he predicted the move before he rejoined Apple
But they haven't, they even went with Steve jobs iphone design lol
@@The-Heart-Will-Testify Which was a rip of products from another company. Steve wasn’t magic. He just knew what he liked (and that’s probably the biggest understatement here).

@@theartshow1476 yeah you are probably right, I thought the latest intel mac was the best they could do lol silly me.
@@theartshow1476 Nah, Mac users experienced it too when Intel didn‘t hold their huge promises on power efficient 10nm chips in 2016, which were supposed to be used for the 12“ fan-less MacBook. It was partly Intel‘s fault that the 12“ MacBook had to be discontinued. And now 4 years later Intel is still trying to deliver on those „efficient“ 10nm chips.
*Edit: admittedly, Intel‘s new 11th CPU is quite good and competes with TSMCs 7nm node. But a little too late to be taken seriously at that point. And whether that decent quad core CPU is even scalable remains to be seen. It‘ll have to if they want to have any chance in keeping up with AMD and Apple.

I wanna see this kind of stuff on the ARM based surface pro's.
They need to update the aging Surface Pro laptops to look like the Surface X and they and Apple really lost their minds with the prices on their ARM based laptops. I have the 12.9 inch iPad Pro and the 2017 Surface Pro and have no reason to upgrade either for a while so I'm hoping by the time I decide to do so that the very least Surface Pro laptops and the Surface keyboard get refreshed with a bigger track pad and smaller bezels. I'm hoping that Apple eventually gets Mac OS on iPad Pro since they did so well with their that Mac using their own processors.
@@ZeitGeist_TV Theyve alreay done that with the surface laptop go
@@Htrdtte44tyy That has nothing to do with my comment, and with images of the upcoming Surface Pro 8 and is huge outdated bezels Microsoft needs to step up.
M1 MacBook Pros have already had Windows on ARM installed and no surprises it wipes he floor of even Surface Pro X2 with the new mobile CPU in it. Once Microsoft start to license out Windows on ARM OS that will definitely be a major step forward in app creation and adoption of developers making and optimizing apps.
In the Mac mini review on verges website,it’s written “a truly awful speakers” are you guys serious
Thats what they do 🤣🤣. Autopsy of technology
Yes? All the Mac mini’s have had truly awful speakers, so I wouldn’t expect the new M1 version to be much better.
It's a signature feature of our beloved minis, hads off!
Back in 2013, I Bought a MacBook Pro 13 inch because it was clearly better than the air. It had a better display, much better performance and it was clearly the best thing for the future
This time around it is different, the Air is much much closer to the 13” Pro, and is a fantastic offering.
MBA 16gb or MBP base what would you choose?
yea if you are not a power user there is no point getting the pro now
Same here. Still rocking a mid 2014 pro. At the time it was a no brainer vs the Air, but now that I’m probably going to buy an M1, Air seems the way to go
Same here. Back in 2012 when I bought the retina Pro, the display of the Air alone was reason enough not to buy it. I’m gonna switch to an M1 Air now.
Air is the clear winner this round. Due to efficiency of the M1 chip, you get similar performance, similar battery life, and a similar screen for significantly cheaper. Based on what I’ve seen in this video, I don’t even see a need for the 2-port MacBook Pro to even exist. For example, Id much rather have the Air with 16GB of Unified memory for $1200, than pay $1300 for a base 2-port Pro. If you’re dead set on the Pro, it would definitely be worth it to wait for the upgraded AS chip with 4-ports and a higher performance ceiling.
Quick clarification: the entry model m1 pro has an 8 core gpu as standard, while the entry model m1 air has a 7 core gpu.

I think so although i heard Chrome improved battery life around 4 months ago. But i dont think its that good on Chrome but idk
Lots of better browsers than chrome out there
I kind of wish I would've waited for the 2020 with the M1, I'm stuck with the I5.

I wouldnt say miles ahead in smart watch or laptop. Id say they are first in smartwatch, but not miles ahead of something like galaxy watch, which had features like variable refresh rate display and sleep tracking years before the apple watch got it, and so the competition is close there. In laptops, apple only competes in a small sliver of the overall market, and even then, its always a question of price when making the comparisons, so once again, even if you want to say they're first, you can't say they are miles ahead of people like Dell and Microsoft.

Soooo let's say you gotta choose between 16GB M1 MacBook Air, or the 8GB Macbook Pro of the same price....which one to go for? Anyone got any advice?
If you don’t do heavy creative work, go for the Air, if you do, wait for the 16 inch pro and save up for a 16gig version of that.
Thank you@@Marius_ae! Unfortunately budget is capped as my friend needs to make the purchase to replace their old macbook pro which has died ASAP, so waiting and saving more isn't really an option. They have enough for either of the options mentioned above, but we can't work out if it's worth getting a Pro with less ram than an Air for the same price.
@@shadician short answer it isn’t for an average user :) the performance is similar, but because of the cooling fan in the Pro it can handle heavy work loads over longer time without a drop in performance. It Also has a bit better battery, but the airs battery is Also great at this point. The price difference really isn’t worth it for the average user, and 16 gigs of ram vs 8 gigs is a no brainer. I say go for the 16 gig Air :)
What are you doing with the computer? That’s the question. As they explain in the video, the MacBook Pro can be pushed harder because it has a fan, but the two models are basically just as powerful. When it comes to RAM, it’s not as clear cut. I can tell you the MacBook Pro 8GB model does not feel like an 8GB laptop. It’s hard to believe until you use it, but it can easily handle 4K footage in FCPX without breaking a sweat. You will hit a wall with the RAM if you’re really pushing the machine though.
Mac is really making a difference
