Extra info because I'm a dingus!
Not sure if I mentioned that the Mac Pro is a 16 core model. Also I didn't know about the i9's being an extra toasty cinnamon bun compared to other CPU's ie i7's but I do have a Windows gaming i7 3060 laptop and it gets hot just loading mp3's from an external drive haha. Hot laptops are a normal thing but it's why the effort from the fanless Air blew me away (rare double pun), 30C video renders even on Apple software is outstanding.
Also I should have aired my gripes with Windows instead of just complaining:
I always hated getting ads in the start bar especially since I paid for my Windows copy.
I had no control over updates which includes turning on and off the machine which stunk for work.
After updates my preferences would often change opting me into sharing data again, annoying.
SO MANY POP UPS. I'M PLAYING A GAME WINDOWS.
Audio devices don't talk as well, Mac it's plug and play but Windows often needs a little bit of fiddling. As a muso I use a lot of them!
No Microsoft, I don't want Office 365! Oh please stop pushing it on me!
Maybe Windows 11 fixes all this but MacOS is working great for my musician/youtuber thing, I game on a Sega Dreamcast anyways (still Sega's current console, I'm up to date 👍).
Sorry bout the Mac vid! Been driving my 16" idiot for 6 months and I had to share.
Frank says nothing.
Windows 11 is mostly minor updates, but I've been using windows 10, and even though it needs some tinkering sometimes, I like it
And you like your Mac book's
And that's okay
Am still on windows 10, and it has been fine so far, I cant even upgrade to win 11 because of their weird requirements. When win 10 goes EOL (end of life), I will try switching to linux, because I hope gaming on linux will have matured more
Oh Dank, Windows 11 fixes so little. Yes, it is forwards in some ways (window management), but it has so many regressions, like the task bar. And it still has ads, everywhere.
I am so glad I don't use Windows other than gaming. And even that I can get away with on linux.
Find me a liquid cooled laptop and then I could take my studio stuff with me,I have tried MacBooks and they have either got stolen or due to constantly traveling get left at a house I was staying at and have a ol’ mate call me saying what do you want to do with it I just run windows for gaming and because most laptops I can pick up cheaply but yes they run hot and my current little runabout laptop is a dell Inspiron she’s capable on full send can warm my car
Linux Distros has so much better than BOTH MacOS and Windows. Get something like Deepin if you really wanna use a MacOS like experience (i really don't understand why you would though. MacOS is ugly) KDE if you want the best Desktop experience.
I refuse to believe this man isn’t just hands and a voice floating in nothingness.

It took the M1 to get me to upgrade from my old reliable and easily upgradeable Mid-2012 15" Macbook Pro and I couldn't be more happier. I can't wait to see what Apple comes up with in 2032 before my next purchase, lol.

You also have to keep in mind that because Apple now has total control over the chip architecture, they can make all of their software and their operating system super optimized for that exact architecture. That's why Final Cut exports so fast on the M1 chip. Intel has to make a processor just fast in general, whereas Apple can afford to make it fast for just their specific software.
Exactly! It Litteraly cheating, it like comparing an snapdragon and an intel, they are not optimized for the same stuff!
But also the intel apple chooses isn't that good for portable pc, so i suspect they were a little biased so the change is more flashy
@@N1ko0L microsoft surface laptops use intel chips built for them, and Luinus Tech Tips video demonstrated that the M1 Air still thrashes it
@@the_manchovie1795 The idea is more that the M1 chip is not only optimized for the machine, but also the *software on the machine.* Intel chips built for specific laptops don't mean anything if the software isn't even comparable.
@@ArceusShaymin The Asahi Linux team (who are adding support for the M1 hardware to Linux) have demonstrated that time and time again the M1 is stupid quick. Linux on the M1 was usable (with good battery life time) without any GPU drivers - it was all CPU rendering.
Sure, some of the magic is optimisation, but that's not going to make a mobile, low power CPU faster than a Xeon that's two years old.
@@NRoach44 Hey, that's good to hear! Always nice to see the Linux guys applying the elbow grease.
I was moreso alluding to the fact that Apple-engineered software which was designed with Apple chip architecture in mind will likely almost always beat out any similar software on an Intel or AMD chip, as per OP's specific mention of Final Cut rendering faster on the M1 and the comment I was replying to mentioning Intel chips built for Windows laptops being thrashed.
Since Apple has control over the creation of both the software *and* hardware, they can create them to work best in tandem, whereas Intel chips are not made with specific suites of software in mind, and so attempt to be "generally good" at anything. That's not to say the M1 isn't good at non-Apple things, just that the initial benchmark comparison between it and an Intel chip can't really be "completely fair" given the circumstances. Though the tests have thoroughly proven the M1 as a good chip in its own right regardless, so comparisons really aren't necessary.
I got given a 14 inch M1 Pro at a new job I started back in September. Boy it felt like christmas came early, this thing is awesome! I've historically been a windows person, but boy does windows feel so clunky and awful now by comparison. There's a few of my colleagues in the office who still have the older intel based macs and I've had a look at them and they are so much worse. I've literally never heard the fans spin up in this thing, granted I don't really put it through its paces all that much but in 3 months of ownership I would have thought to have at least heard them once! Its crazy! I think I'll end up fighting them if they ask for it back!
Hell yeah, got the exact same.
Love the form factor, so incredibly nice to sit on the couch or in bed with it, stays super cool as well!
Mac OS felt pretty natural to me, i'm a linux guy and mainly use GNOME so the UI wasn't all that different for me and i still have the power of the terminal whenever i need it.
Overall, great machine, absolutely beautiful too.
@@metalspoon69 100% agree, it's excellent. Mac OS is great, I had some experience with it as a few years back I bought a second hand 2015 MacBook Pro. That thing was in pretty good shape and still runs well but they've clearly improved Mac OS a fair bit since then, it has so many features that I love. The terminal is excellent, I've learned all about Unix with this job and I obviously have a lot more to learn about it but I love it. I don't think I could ever go back to windows for a work machine now, it'd have to be either Linux or MacOS. I use Fish shell and I've customised my terminal to give all the syntax highlighting really distinct colours and it has made adapting to using Unix for day to day tasks so much easier. It's also nice having a different operating system for work and a different operating system for gaming, it means I can really disconnect the two and I don't feel like I'm at work when I'm sat in front of my home desktop, it's super nice. Vice versa - I know when I'm sat down at my Mac that it's time to work.
My last job used windows for everything and it'd get to the point where I'd get home, boot up my gaming rig and I'd type in my work password rather than my PC's password. I'm yet to do that since using the mac! 😂
Decided to splurge for the same model. It's not the top of the line 14" but compared to the old windows machines I was using this thing is 1000x better. I'll have to see how it handles if I start doing more video editing but considering it doesn't stutter when editing 4k like my old machines I'll take it.
I got the 16-inch model with the M1 Max about a month ago and I am absolutely chuffed with it so far. Even now, I am still mightily impressed at the fact that this stinking laptop is able to edit all my stuff for my photography projects and even some video files, at a speed that makes my high-performance desktop PC blush, **all while it's on battery**.
That battery also lasts stinking long. I actually also own a Windows 11 ultrabook that I use as a daily machine due to its small size and light weight. This big-chungus beast lasts longer on a charge **doing heavy edit-work** than my ultrabook, which I had to peg its processor back quite a bit to get 4-5 hours on a charge doing nothing more than web-browsing.
Like everything though, its got flaws. The notch doesn't bother me, but it's still a visual goof, the caps-lock delay on the keyboard trips me up so many times that I wished they'd just make it easy to tweak the behavior, and having the SSD be permanently soldered to the board is still a personal pet-peeve of mine (I work off an external SSD, so storage capacity itself isn't really an issue).
But taken as a whole, this is legitimately the best notebook that I have used and owned, by far. Just the fact that it is not only stinking fast and mostly quiet, but it does this without needing a charger (and lasts for a long while doing so) basically sealed it for me, despite knowing that there are other laptops out there which are probably a bit quicker. That and Windows 11 is not exactly where it should be, especially when Modern Standby continues to cook laptops in bags...
I had my M1 mac book air for 2 years and I absolutely love it and I'm someone who doesn't like Apple in general
Most people don't hate Apple - they hate the overhyping of everything they make.
M1 has from the start been the first thing Apple chucked out in a while that deserves all the hype.
I think what you mean is most people don't hate Apple's *products*.
While the hype thing is true, many also hate their self-flagellating marketing.
Not to mention their track record of anti-consumer practises...
The Apple Watch revolutionised the smartwatch market and the AirPods basically created a whole new segment of earphones. I think Apple deserves all the hype.
Honestly the only reason I dislike apple is repairability. Even on this cheap 14'' ultrabook I have, I can swap the SSD, have place for another and add RAM.
From what I have seen on the internet, once you get a macbook, you can't upgrade it, and can't fix it without having a soldering station or paying Apple to repair it for you.
Lots of respect for the M1 chip though, I'm really impressed by that. If I could have the same upgradability as on windows, I would definitely be on Mac. I could kind of get around not being able to play games too much.
I hate the brand and a lot of things about it, but not the products.
I don’t hate apple. It’s just they’re a bit pricey that’s all.
I can relate. I bought a 2020 Intel MacBook Air… with 3 chrome tabs and a zoom call, the laptop was at 100°C. With my base M1 MacBook Air, it can edit 4k without getting hot…. M1 chips are bonkers!
Agreed! I've been through a bunch of Windows laptops that either broke on me or were crazy hot. Then I got my M1 Air base model, and goddamn It's magic.
Yeah cause M1 chips have DEDICATED ASICs for video editing and rendering. Intel Macs never had that outside of the 2020 Mac Pro which could get that as a PCIe card.
@@Photo0021 The only thing you should be using windows for is gaming, emulating and office 365 work.

I was stunned when I upgraded from my 2015 model. Initially bought my mother an M1 Air to replace her ageing laptop, and I waited for the M1 Pro/Max models because I wanted the big screen.
I no longer need a tray between me and the laptop’s ass to watch youtube videos. I don’t need a charger with me at all times (I can be a pretentious coffee-slurping failed writer in a coffee shop for hours now) and being able to waste a few hours building houses in The Sims 4 without being warned to plug it in or feeling it burn my legs was a damn novelty (playing above 1080p and the fans barely made themselves known).
This is the first laptop from Apple in a while where I was counting the days until I could pick it up from the store.
yeah I have a 2015 model and its fine but it is so fucking loud I can hear it through my headphones all the time. it also doesnt let me use chrome without heating up. I am probably going to get a new one before I go to college next august bc I dont know if this one is gonna cut it honestly. I cant play any games, and it basically wants to kill itself when I plug it into a monitor or even open excel for my schoolwork
Understandable
You just eloquently described my experience with going all out on the 2019 16” i9. The one time I splurge on the faster spec instead of the base model and it bit me in the ass so hard. The part where you get reunited with MagSafe, HDMI, and headphone jack almost had me in tears. Thanks this is the only tech channel i will ever watch again.
like that comment once

4:35 I maintain to this very day that if Apple had given us BOTH a hard function row and a touch bar everyone would have loved it
I agree with that
I used to take a lot of screenshots/screen recording for my job and I gotta say, quickly being able to adjust what you wanted to do and where to save them all from the touchbar was glorious. An adaptive row is useful, but some things just work better with buttons (esc for example)
the touch bar isn't bad. it just shouldnt be a replacement to the fn keys. if it were a standalone device, it'd be amazing.
Yeah, I can get behind that. Then again when Apple made that thing they were in full no legacy support or compromise mode to the point of absurdity so no chance in them leaving the function row alone.
But then what exactly are we gonna use the Touch Bar for? Maybe scrubbing timelines in FCP
"Windows is terrible and Adobe is worse" I could not agree more. Premiere crashes even while playing the video sometimes, nevermind when moving clips in the timeline around. I havve Ctrl+S PTSD, and press it every edit I make.
Damn right Adobe can go suck it, I have moved to as much FOSS software as possible though I barely do any video editing anyway.
I always hear that but I never got problem with premiere, maybe I'm blessed
@@fylezrancher5609 yeah same here, haven't had any problems with premiere or photoshop, same thing with windows (except that one time they uninstalled my gpu drivers)

I found macOS to be more of a fiddle than windows but that's just my mileage. Everyone has different experiences.
What's also really cool is that there are already people developing Linux for the M1 nuggets, the lack of Linux made them a total no-go for me, but you can run (slow, but working) Linux on them already and the GPU drivers are being written right now. The M1 is really cool, and that's coming from a passionate Apple hater lol

Exactly! You can also just do a quick left/right swipe on the icon to change the volume by one bar.
@@maxksondzyk Didn’t know that one thanks! It’s not been life changing but still find it nice to have (other than the odd occasion it crashes)

@@ubaydsyou can skip ads with control panel too, you don’t need the Touch Bar, although it’s a bit more quicker
The old i9 laptops have a *massive* asterisk next to their claims of having the most powerful laptop processor of the era:
While the i9 in there might theoretically be a speed demon, it's being strangled to death by that horrendously inadequate cooling system.
I'm curious to see how the M1 and i9 models would compare if you took them into a walk-in freezer and set them on blocks of ice.
Yep, it's unfair to say the fans on the i9 are screaming since apple did such a poor job of cooling it (as always). I wouldn't be surprised if they did it specifically to make the m1 seem impressive in comparison
Pretty sure dave2d already tested that by putting it in his freezer, I think M1 still beats it but the i9 perfoms soooo much better with actual cooling. It's almost like actually having good contact with the CPU cooler helps the CPU stay cool.
Me too! Out of curiosity only. Though then it could be useful to a niche market of northern Canadians that want to edit 4K videos while sitting on their porch.
@@TheTomco11 I doubt apple would knee cap their computers for years to make the M1s seem really good a few years down the line
@@TheTomco11 I heard rumors saying that Apple were working on switching to ARM for about 5 years, which alignes to the timeframe when macbooks started sucking.
What's also interesting is that, if you didn't know, Intel works with partners (e.i. Apple, Dell, HP, whatever) to implement features that they want (I believe the reason why Intel improved their iGPUs was because Apple really wanted it for example), but in 2017, because of lack of competition, and other unfourtunate events, Intel was stagnating, and couldn't make chips up to Apple's demand, yet Apple still decided to bang on their drum, and as a result you get these laptops with awful thermals (especially Macbook and later Macbook Air, which didn't even have a fan), just because Apple were stubborn on their design, while Intel couldn't/wouldn't provide chips that would be adequate for that configuration.
They sip battery too! I plug my base MacBook Air into a phone charger here and there. Awesome machine
That is the crazy thing to me. I have a lot of hardware, and unlike Dankpods I don't use final cut, so I'm not locked to apple and although I do have a beefy desktop I use an old Thinkpad X as my mobile machine. But I know for a fact my next laptop is not going to be x86. We still have to see what AMD and Intel are able to do to compete with the M1 on power, they made improvements, but nothing revolutionary yet - So I hope they make some arm or risc type chip for power efficiency, and that Linux sort its battery issues out.
No joke man. Honest to gosh, I charge my M1 Pro laptop from a 5v, 500mA USB charger. It takes _a while_ to charge, and only really works if it's sleeping. But the fact that it's even possible is just insane.
@@nickwallette6201 right! I mostly do the same. My 12” razer got like 5-6 hours of use max and I always had to bring a charger strong enough to even get it to charge. Having the option to use a phone charger is unreal

yea vista was good people say it’s garbage just with cap that’s all they can stay mad with vista

Should be mentioned that the M1 has significant dedicated circuitry for video editing/playback, hence the great difference
Yeah, thats where it shines.
Yep I don't think the CPU performance is that crazy but the GPU and integration with final cut and stuff like that definitely is for an igpu setup
It does, but only for ProRes encode/decode, and I'm not sure he was shooting in that codec, so thats untouched additional performance if so.
@@ryandickson6761 correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the media engine decodes all codecs, as Asahi Linux can't playback youtube videos as codec acceleration is not implemented yet
@@joshua_thomas that has to do with DRM, not decoding the stream.
The M1 has hardware bits specifically designed for things like video editing. Kind of like how back in the day old game systems had special hardware to move tiles around the screen so they could scroll smoothly when PC's couldn't even with more powerful hardware. The Xeon is a more generally powerful chip, but specific programs can be built to utilize the special hardware of the M1 to basically cheat extra performance.
I'm not saying this as a knock against them, it's a goddamn brilliant return to form for specialized chips. There's a reason it was so effective in the 80's and there's a reason it's so effective now. Who cares if the NES can't do spreadsheets that well, it's built for goddamn Mario. Who cares if the M1 doesn't have the legacy support of x86 or a full CISC instruction set? It's designed for creators and it's a beast of an editor (and a solid performer on graphics too especially for its power draw)
I always feel weary when people use video renders as the benchmark for these chips since they have dedicated hardware to pump up that category, but then again if it does what people use it for in the real world then it works, doesn’t matter why it works at the end of the day
i really hope apple applies similar principles to more diverse fields like 3d rendering and audio work and builds in some co-processors for those types of things too lol
To simplify and shorten everything u said, Apple knows how to optimize their hardware lol.
I mean. You're flat out wrong. Your conclusion is complete bullshit.
x86 also has hardware encode and decode. And has for at least 10 years.
And they keep adding hardware encode support for newer codecs.
Also not a knock against apple, "influencers" are also often video creators so the product markets itself. But there are also many types of "creators" and m1 certainly doesn't tailor to all, or even most, of them.
Are you going to make your bloated electron apps or docker clusters on a mac that charges you up the nose for memory? Are you going to use develop android apps when last I checked emulators don't work and android studio barely does? Do you intend to roll the dice on whether you can get your Ansys suite running via emulation? Apparently it's even a pain to get openFOAM working (which I argue isn't a real alternative to fluent anyways. If you have to open your choice of cpp ide or editor, it's a different type of software. Alternatively I argue gcc is an alternative for openFOAM as well as literally every other piece of software). What about Solidworks? What about whatever 3d printing software people tend to use?
Sure there are solutions; you can just pay up, embrace the ecosystem and develop solely for ios (or plug an actual android phone in), change your entire workflow etc; but are those good solutions?
Afaik macs are, and have always been, great for video and music creators (+ whatever I missed) specifically. Saying they are for "creators" without qualifier is imo already buying into the marketing.
Oh man, this is such a precarious vid for me…I got a macbook pro a couple years back ‘cause I was just going off to college and my folks agreed that I could use one. That, and I wanted a machine that could handle all the drawing and occasional animations and screencap speedpaints I do (the old mac mini did NOT like downloading and rendering hours of footage), so we decided to invest in a higher-end pro and OH BOY, this lad can do it, but just like you said, it gets super hot, and I do have fans so it just sounds like it’s tryin to achieve takeoff when it gets stressed out. Even had it get into some weird overdrive where it heats up and the fans go crazy when I’m not even using it more than once. That M1 sounds soooo tempting…
I recently got an M2 Air and it's great, compared to my older Thinkpad it's 2.5x as fast while being completely silent. Yesterday I accidentally started a screen recording. Today I noticed because of the icon on the status bar, it recorded the screen for 17 hours straight and didn't get warm or slow down at all.
I don't do video stuff, but for software development it's a really smooth system.
"precarious"?
What word were you searching for?
Understandable
I'm mainly a PC guy because that's what's best for my needs currently but I have no loyalty to any company and I'm happy that Apple has knocked it out of the park with these M1 chips because now Intel and AMD (and NVidia to some degree) are actually putting some effort into their next gen CPUs. Competition is good for innovation. If the GPU in the M chips keeps improving as much as it has between the M1 and M2 I might actually consider getting an M3 Mac.

My 2012 MacBook Pro recently has been causing me serious problems when it comes to heating up, and honestly I just can’t use it anymore.

I really hope they add a good STL slicer to iPad one day.

@@lotfibenhammou916 Literally segment them by hardware then. Make it so that the iPads only get the processor of the previous gen and or give macbooks ultra by default.

In fairness, the Macbook i9's were really controversial at the time. They had insufficient cooling and thermal throttled a lot making the i9 chip pointless. You would have got the same performance from an i7 or i5. If you really want to see how well an i9 laptop can perform you would be better off getting a non-apple laptop.
That said the new M1 chips are pretty cool and have a lot of potential
I believe the 15” i9 was the worst and first i9 MacBook Pro. The 16” i9 (which he had here) was a bit better but still not great.
Not to mention that an i9 has WORSE single-core performance than an i5/i7 which I would argue is more important in most cases
Imagine putting an i9 and high wattage GPU in really small heatsink while other Windows gaming laptops with the same specs are still getting thermal throttled even with larger heatsink and much better cooling solution
@@sihamhamda47 Yeah, I'm pretty sure an MSI laptop with an Intel Core i7 & an RTX 3050 could do better than a MacBook with an Intel Core i9 & an AMD Radeon 5500M. And from what I looked, that MSI laptop is way cheaper than that MacBook.
@@pabblo1 a better example would be a laptop with a 1650 Ti or 1660 Ti or a 1060 or 1070.
Tbf Intel's skylake-based CPUs are nuggety today compared to Ryzen 5xxx and Alder Lake Intels
The M1s are great but it is worth mentioning that Apple killed the performace of the Intel chips with their god awful design. I think the I7s outperformed the I9s because it could just about manage cooling.
I had a 2015 MBP with an i7. (Or was it i5? I actually don't remember.) It was awesome. Near M1 levels of battery life doing casual stuff, and the fan rarely ever turned on at all. I could go months without hearing it. I think it was a perfectly balanced laptop, and I loved it dearly.
Intel also deserves some of the blame here. They needed to push more and more Watts to keep up with AMD and MacBooks have never had good cooling solutions. If your chip is a power-hungry beast and it's gonna be crammed into the torture cage that is a MacBook, then it's not gonna be a very happy beast
Apple spec’d intel to be able to handle Apples cooling system, and intel promise they would be able to handle it, and they didn’t. It was then 4 more years of promises from intel until Apple finally had enough and build their own processor design.
@@cockatoo010 See but Intel’s processors were a pre-made component. Apple was buying them as-manufactured, so they *needed* to design around it, and just didn’t.
@@nickwallette6201 damn, I have a 2015 i5 MBA, and it _maybe_ lasts 3 hours on battery. Less than 100 cycles on the battery too.
Wish I could get battery life like that.
I do agree about the heat of laptops. I have a razor blade 15 laptop and would occasionally game, but now that I think of it my room would feel hot. I upgraded to a MacBook Pro 14 and just waiting on delivery. I’m excited to use as I’m new to Mac OS.
Same I have a rz15 and lors I had to stop using it for. While in summer cause it was killing me, as of now it bearable and in winter time it’s gonna be an amazing heater

You don't need to tap and drag the slider to change volume or brightness on the touch bar, you can simply hold the volume / brightness icon then slide your finger.
My issue with apple, minus the scummy business practices, is just the hyper closed off nature. Mate I want to do whatever the hell I want to with my tech I own, not be forcibly held back by the manufacturer because they have a "vision."
Well I have good news because the Mac isn't closed off. Hell it's their only device that isn't closed off. You're free to install whatever you want, and do whatever you want with it. Some people made OS mods for it to make it more Windows like, others homebrew apps to make it more Linux like. Hell, you can even install Linux distros to dualboot onto if you wanted, as there's a popular distro for the M1 chip called Asahi Linux in development.
@@DrAnimePhD pretty sure he was talking about hardware not software.
Idk if this help, but one the M1 mais you can install Asahi Linux. It's still in it's early stages but it has a lot of potential
@@MuitoDaora hardware wise I feel like it’s best that it’s closed off. That’s what makes MacBooks last as long as they do.

Saying "it's not that bad" as a reason to like something is the same as saying "this food is great, it only tastes a little like shit."
For the touchbar, you can just swipe on the volume and brightness and it'll adjust them. No need to tap on them twice.
This. By far the most useful thing for in the Touch Bar
Thanks for that information, I did not know that.
Yeah, but it *is* annoying that you need to click on a tiny little [
You can also just turn on regular control buttons instead of the control strip, it puts all the buttons in the same order as the Macs without touch bar. In keyboard settings.
Pretty sure he knows it and the taps were there as slight hyperbole to show how obnoxious it is to always having to open the sound area
Been uninterested in Macbooks for the trash specs for years, the M1 macbooks are the first ones that have really had me excited. looks like the new ryzen mobile processors might rival them though.
Intel and AMD already offer better chips than the M1, Intel offers a mobile 16 core now that pisses on the M1 like it's not even funny.
It's ARM, people are acting like apple took the fire from the gods but all they did was make a very large high clock ARM chip not unlike a cellphone where as Intel and AMD are still full X86-64 compatible IE can do so much more.
my dude you cant compare a 700 dollar macbook air with a 2k+ laptop with a 12900h
Monado buster 😳
@@deepbludreams Of course they do but you gotta remember that it took them 2 years to catch up
@@minecraft13149 And 12900h will sound like a jet engine taking off under load or throttle down to the performance of a much worse i7 if it doesn't. Still, at least the competition from all 3 manufacturers of CPUs means we consumers have more good choices, and chances are the next gens will get even better as a direct result.
Volume slider with the touchbar is way cool what you talking about. You can set any volume level with one click by tapping and holding, then dragging it. It’s awesome because you get that “””analog””” level of control you don’t get with volume buttons.
Understandable
1:48 adjusting volume or brightness via Touch Bar did not require 2 presses, just touch and hold the icon and then slide the finger, it works even when you are not holding the slider directly

Apple pcs are fine , its there iPhone and the right to repair and the locked down ios that's garbage
@@trayner And the fact that most of their products are way overpriced.
@@edwardtye4119 but not the laptops they are bang for bucks
@@trayner The thing is, it's not like Mac's are on the whole repairable either. I'm not going to get into a big slapfight about whats better, but if you don't like Android what other choice do you have apart from iOS?
I used to use android but jumped to iOS around the Nexus 6 and I've still got my Nexus 7 with Lineage OS installed.
One reason why I switched was that Apple supports their phones for much longer than any Android device, even googles own pixel. Part of the reason is that Apple has full control over the hardware and software, but a lot of android devices are beholden to the people who make the drivers for the chipset/modem etc. Also different carrier versions of the same phone can have updates delayed for whatever random reason. Google has seen this also and that's why they've gone to their own Tensor chipset so hopefully they can provide updates to Pixels for longer.
Thats just not a thing with iPhones and I know people complained that updates made phones slower but I pulled out my old 2016 SE a few days ago, updated it to the latest OS and it still runs fine. I'm not gonna say great because it feels slower than my 13 Pro but I feel like a 5 year old phone isn't gonna be as fast as a new one.
It would have to take something massive to get me off iOS because I love the integration with Mac and iPad that works seamlessly. Meaning when I'm at home I don't really touch the phone.
Right to repair stuff is shitty definitely and I hate their stupid handwaving program where they send you like 2 tonnes of equipment just to do a battery or we. Maybe just maybe in the future they might try and make a phone thats not assembled with like 9000 types of screws and everything glued together but I doubt it.
@@trayner I prefer ios so much more to android
What the M1 hides is a forgotten wisdom from the tech world: Integrate Hardware and Software well and do it once.
Now it is 80 different programs built by different teams for different problems bolted together by two guys in their grandmas garage fueled on kickfarter flex fund with optimization not even making the nice to have list.
Hell, indie devs make their products more optimized than _shudder_ Adobe.
@@GrayDaDolf because adobe just put in so much gimmick into their product that no one uses
Adobe newer programs (medium, and modeler) are pretty good as in they do what they propose without any frills or issues.
Can’t way for them to fuck it up by adding everything without concern for optimization or coherence
Integration means losing freedom for the user and locking them down to a walled garden, which for many is a complete deal breaker.
That basically means one hardware for everyone and while that sounds great, without any competition imagine the prices Apple would charge...
its all related to base architecture type of the cpu, intel/amd cpu use CISC Complex Instruction Set Computing which means that they use complex commands to achive their goal, cisc computers in their nature are very much energy and temperature inefficent meanwhile M1 cpu is Based on RISC Reduced Instruction Set Computing which uses a small amount of easy to compute instructions to achive their goals current day RISC based cpus outpace most of CISC cpus and i think its only matter of time before our current cpus become obsolitte
I actually think this looks a lot nicer than the old ones.
Understandable
You know, when using the touchbar - if you simply hold and drag on the volume button, that will also change volume. No need for multiple clicks. Goes for most other functions too like display brightness.
Yes this is what I do!!!
If only there was some kind of text display/screen located above the keyboard for them to put that information
You can just hold down the button. 1 click.
M1 MacBook Pro 13 is the first Mac I’ve ever had. It’s seriously a life changer. I’ve made so much more music and actually edited some videos for them all on the same little machine and it never stuttered. Love that thing.
nice job with this video man. i honestly love your enthusiasm !
Understandable
On the 14 inch m1 pro rn:
I had a 2019 16 inch Macbook Pro and for brightness and volume I just touched the icon and dragged left or right without lifting my finger. I think it worked faster and better than a physical button, and I could skip CZcams ads by dragging the playback thing to the end.
Hopefully they start making ARM processors with PCIe lanes that you can put in desktop machines. I really hope ARM or even RISCV pick up more in the computer market
Man I can't wait for RISC-V to be mainstream.
You need far more than that to get a working PC style Desktop.
First we need an ARM based Windows worth a damn, because otherwise we're not getting any mainstream hardware manufacturers jumping onto the ARM train
China already has ARM processors that accept conventional GPU through PCIE lanes. But those are for servers, and still way far behind M1's IPC.
You already can connect PCIe devices to RPi 4 CM (driver support just isn't there yet). Besides drivers you just need more lanes, it's already here
I'm a PC guy, and I have an Intel 9700k right now, and I still love hearing how great the M1 chips are. Apple setting the bar so high can only benefit everyone.
Agreed. I don't think we'd have seen the RDNA2 graphics on APUs any time sooner without the awesome iGPU on the M1s. Also, Alder Lake U-series should be quite performant at like 18W so it looks like Intel is catching up as well.
@@DigitalJedi Arm still will definitely be the direction a lot of laptops will go towards IMO, the higher efficiency and Windows Support makes it great for ultrabooks and even small low cost machines, most chrome books are ARM now.
Desktops will probably be dominated by x86 for a good while due to the raw power for games and compute tasks.
You should seriously consider getting a M1 Macbook Air to use as a laptop/daily driver. You'd love it. They're excellent companion devices for the PC gamer and cheap as hell
“When I saw windows 8, I was done..”
Yeah, as someone who doesn't like apple as a company, I have to say moving all their devices to ARM based processors along with unified memory was the smartest decision they made. The main take away for me between this video and the M1 MacBook Pros I deploy at work are that when the program you are running are optimized for ARM (apple application with some 3rd party support) they're amazing. Now Apple needs to fix the limitations on virtual machine support along with multiple monitors under HDMI.
I'm glad these M1 models live up to their performance because my mid-2012 with a 4 hour battery that weighs as much as a ingot is really starting to feel archaic.
Haha, 10 years is a good run, I think. The only Macs I own are the G4 Powerbook Aluminum and now a 2021 M1 MBP. The M1 stuff feels like the proper jump from the PPC days, where you get insane battery vs similar models (The Powerbook would get like 4 hours of battery life doing CPU video decoding even at 8-9 years old… I don’t think any of my other laptops from that time survived that long anymore, and heck, my x86 laptop at the time started to have build and battery issues…)
But seriously, the build quality, the keyboard, the speed, the silence, the screen. It just finally comes together in a good package like the days of yore. Now if we could convince Apple to add more sane UI controls instead of relying on 3rd party apps…
those things are great. props for keeping it going so long. i had a "macbook of theseus" type situation going on with my late 2011 model where i had swapped out pretty much everything that could be unscrewed at least once. ended up with like 5 partially disassembled donor macbooks in my closet by the time it finally bit the big one in 2019. honestly the quad core i7 in those things holds up remarkably well considering how old it is. are you still on an ancient version of macos or did you manage to get it to take newer updates?
Adding the fact that 4 hour battery is normal to some Windows laptop. Can't wait to get my hands on an M1 Macbook Air for my studies. 😅
The M1s are a god send honestly, especially when they get their $200-$250 discount. I also had a 2012 that lasted me till 2018. Bought the $1,500 13 inch M1 MBP on sale last year and I have zero regrets. I can comfortably edit my photos, listen to music, and watch 4K videos and movies without the laptop even struggling lol.
@@CaliKiid714 The Retina Macbook I got had a sticker price of about $3,000, top of the line back then, even with independent graphics it still looks and runs pretty good but I had to replace a bloated battery and thermal paste...the magsafe charger is original but its so chewed up you'd be frightened to touch it.
Chances of me getting an Apple machine are low, but damn if I haven't been tempted by the M1 Air. That's their most impressive machine to me. Yea, it's not the most powerful of the bunch, but it's all passive cooling. That's just insane, especially in a laptop
Same I can never switch out of Windows there's too many apps that I rely on that are only on Windows (mainly an audio converter for iPod music ironically)
Seriously, go get an M1 Macbook Air right now. You won't regret it. Even though it's the cheapest and has no fan, it's an absolute sleeping monster with how fast it is. I've seen so many hardcore Linux fanboys circles switch to Macs all because of that laptop.

I mean, it bloody hurt buying it at just a hair over 4000 kangaroo coins (aussie dollars), but at the same time, it's honestly the best machine i've worked on in a while. The battery life alone is nuts. Editing performance if you use ProRes beggars belief, and with H.264 it's more performant than its Intel predecessors.
I mean, I rock an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X/GTX1080ti as my previous daily driver, which chews a solid 600W at full tilt, and this laptop _smashes it_ for video editing and rendering whilst chewing a tenth of that.

Thank you for mentioning this, although it took a while.
Of course your fiends laptop doesn’t have the latest 5nm chip techs lol…..
The battery is incredible. I can easily use my 14” MacBook Pro heavily for 2 full days
Mines awesome too. This guys noise.
I always had Windows laptops. Now, at 25, I got my first MacBook. A M1 MacBook Air. And honestly, I never want to go back. Its the perfect laptop for pretty much everything except gaming.
That era was such a disaster for Apple. I was given a brand new non-unibody 15” Core 2 Duo MBP in 2008, through Make-a-Wish. I kept it alive and used it all the time up until a few years ago. I came across a few mid 2015 i7 A1398s, built one good machine out of a few parts donors, and it’s been great. Only had to pay for a charger and a new battery. Winning.
On the MacBooks with Touch Bar, you can just slide the volume button and it will work, you don’t even have to tsp it just slide even when its not activated or focus in on.
The conspiracy theory is that Apple intentionally made Intel MacBooks progressively worse and worse (but not bad enough so that their audience would actually notice or care), so that the M1 variants seemed like massive upgrades (not that they aren't, they're great machines)
I have a MacPro(both trashcan and cheese grater), and it's still suck compared to my M1 Max.
I doubt that. Apple was definitely planning to switch to their own silicon anyways, but Apple never made the MacBooks worse, at least intentionally. Apple just got too caught up in form over function, and didn't bother to change the design while Intel chips were getting more demanding, causing them to throttle and heat up a lot more.
@Johnny depp she-hulk johnny depp bot lol
From what I heard, it was more Intel kept promising more efficient chips, then failing to meet the deadline or spec, so each machine had to have corners cut to account for the heat and power consumption of the machine, whilst fitting Apple's vision for the design. (Thinner keyboard, bigger battery, more fans) ...granted Apple could have just went with the current design back then and made it significantly less jank, but this is Apple we're talking about.
The reality is simpler, Apple knew that Intel was in a hurry with its CPUs, and since its engineers are shit that do not know how to dissipate heat, they decided to make the leap to M1, more knowing that the M1 would be unupdatable in the long term to intel comparison
Basically, Apple changed to M1 just to rip off their customers, because even the M1 is very poorly cooled.
My issue with Mac is more the lack of options when you have to look into issues and fix things.
At work we have to use iMacs, because we use a software that only exists for Mac. So many times something broke and there was nothing we could do. Was it the RAM? Was it the CPU? Who knows?
One time the OS died on us. The whole OS. Could I just write a new install on the machine? Of course not.
And don't get me started on the issues when software doesn't work. When it crashes without an error log. It's absolutely awful to work with.
Agreed 100%, BS like this is why I like boring normal PC's I can fix when something goes wrong that normally don't cost, and arm, and a leg. Far as the OS, Windows is just as annoying with Windows 10 being the last straw for me, which is why I moved to Linux full time, and I now use Solus Linux as my default distro.
Business users don't care about repairability. If you're on a proper SLA with Apple (or any other vendor like IBM), they'll just give you a new machine.
Likewise, reinstalling MacOS is trivial. You would've been back up and running in about two hours.
it's perfect for people that don't know better. WHat is the vaerage user going to do anyway, they can't troubleshoot a windows laptop either
Main reason I find MacOS painful to work with is I just know the internals of Windows and Linux a lot better, and they're both also a lot more googleable/stackoverflowable when something breaks. I've had enough Macs over the years to have run into "take it to the genius bar" as the preferred "solution" to a problem several times, and only after spending hours digging through forum threads on related issues did I find the actual, often fairly simple, solution.
@@marcogenovesi8570 No that's called being lazy, you can use another computer, tablet, phone, etc.. and Google the model of computer you are having trouble with if it's not working at all, and usually find the answer, and Windows has become a nightmare of an OS, with no hope of saving it IMHO unless it goes full open source.

I was never an Apple fan (quite the opposite) but I was THRILLED when I heard they were moving Macs to Arm. Its an excellent choice, the efficiency difference is very real and hopefully it drives more arm support.
Honestly, I'm hoping more computers become arm based.. Maybe fans will be a memory in like 5 years?
Honestly there's nothing preventing the industry to switch to ARM except lack of good chips, which is tied to lack of Windows because Windows equals people.

I honestly wonder how much works goes into editing these videos. The charm of the videos is from the dialogue. There’s obviously good writing and research that goes into them. But I feel like he could edit on a potato running iMovie and still get the same watch time.
Understandable
I'm really enjoying my 16" Chonkbook Pro, but I've still got my partly broken 13" 2016 MBP and it's great for portability.
Great job dank, I've been loving this type of content!
I always dreamed of getting a mac since we got to use them occasionally at school, and compared to my home computer it was like it was from a century in the future. Never had the money though, and as I got older I realised that they aren't really all they are cracked up to be. Recently though I have been hearing good news like this about them which is reigniting that dream. I would love to start creating something but whenever I try in windows the learning curve for the programs is just too steep and I get burnt out because it feels like an endless task for a mediocre outcome that will be an embarrassment to show anyone. From my limited experience with mac programs, it seems much more intuitive and visual instead of tiny symbols and walls of text and nonsensical errors.
As someone about to graduate high school, having Macs back in pre-3rd grade was so nice. Always seemed smooth and quality based vs the cheap feeling and sketchy HP computers. Unfortunately we only used them predominately for our tech class, and then the other schools didn’t really have them, and if they did I never had that specific teacher. We ended up getting a 13” 2013 Air, and that was ok but I didn’t really use it until about 2019, and it just felt old, dated, and not too great. I just upgraded to a 2020 13” Pro, and that thing is amazing. Not a fan of the Touch Bar, but the M1 chip in there does wonders. It’s made me want to look for a used iMac with a used Mac Pro as a home computer now, but unsure if the MacBook would be faster anyways…
@@TRD-FRS the base model m1 being faster than an iMac Pro is unlikely, it’s gonna be a close match though
@@liamsz it’s not the base. It’s the 13”, but it has the 8GB of ‘memory’ and 512GB of storage. But the iMac Pro would be a early 2010ish year (which I can obviously upgrade the internals if needed).
Well, in a way they were in the 2000s, they had the first *animated* compositor a half a decade before experimental efforts in Linux popped up and before a pre-reset prototype of DWM would function and then Compiz and Vista.
And PowerPC was badass too.
What ruined it was that Steve Jobs died and Tim Apple devolved into the meme version of Apple that people joked about during the golden age. Stuff like the one key macbook became an almost legit possibility, Apple remembered thin good and went head first with no sense of vision. Boneheaded things like headphone jacks being removed and i9s being poorly cooled and donglefest were thanks to Apple not having a damn clue Jobs actually wanted and just remembering he liked thin and pretty and memed it up to 11, and thus Macs became shit.
Ironically a fatter MB Pro with magsafe and so on feels far more Jobsian than any touchbar butterfly pile of crap.
The M1 Mac minis are amazing, both for price and performance. Should give them a look imo, especially as the MW chip versions are coming soon
Yeah boi, i've got the new 2021 16" with M1 Pro. I get 8-10 hours of battery a day when at work (a full day), using IntelliJ to program in Java, SQL, JS, HTML, and CSS. I do a fair bit of photoshop work, JS compiling, I use a LOT of office with massive Excel sheets, I have 5-6 apps open at any one time constantly and this thing never breaks a sweat. Hell I can even play Minecraft on it with 0 fan noise or heat and get a constant 60 fps, even though its not optimised and through Rosetta which is insane
0:07 well, wasn’t expecting shank to appear here.
I liked my 2016 MBP. The feel of the keyboard was great. The touchbar was nice (you could change the volume without 2 button presses by dragging). Sold it in 2021 and bought an M1. Apple silicon is pretty impressive
Same here, I liked everything that most people hate about the 2016 MacBook Pros. I’ve still got mine but I upgraded to a 14” base M1 Pro.
The Mac Pro (not MacBook Pro) can have 70 tabs of never gonna give u up open, and the mac studio can hold over 100 tabs of Mrwhosetheboss open
Strange you had such different results with video encoding on the mb pro vs the air. They have the same encoding hw and usually they are very close to one another if you use a codec that can leverage that hw (which I assume you did because the Mac pro lost hard)
Understandable
May your grandpa rest in peace, I've lost my grandpa pretty recently and it really sucks, thank you for the great content
Switched from an 8th gen intel thinkpad to a base M1 air. Even with half the ram and no active cooling. It is just, so much better. Both small 13"laptops, just the differences are insane lol. Quite happy my T14S AMD was delayed so much, that I cancelled it for a macbook. That was cheaper too!
I work for Primark in the UK at their head office and we give these M1s out to our designers.
So many problems and replacements with the touchbar models. However when we started getting these M1s in... such a difference. Just they suck to set up as a corperate device.. even so they're just fine they take a while is all.
We love them
I’ve got an M2 max at my job - the newest, not the 2021 with the 2016 body - and it just leaves me speechless on every big chore. It eats up everything AND does it on a battery the whole effing day. It truly is amazing.
Only sad thing is that Windows 11 on Virtualbox doesn’t work yet so you have to subscribe to Parallels to work with Windows software. Some pieces of software will not even work, but 85% of Windows software does.
The M1 Max on my Mac Studio is a freaking MONSTER! I could have 20 Kontakt instruments running in Pro Tools at the same time and I’d STILL never hear the fan! What a beast!
I’m now in the same mindset with windows 11 as you were with windows 8. It’s just multiple steps back. I was in the market for a new laptop, so I bit the bullet and get my first MacBook. I love it and macOS is now my daily driver. I just use windows to play games now.
don't play games...game plays!!! :)
To be honest, Windows 8 fucking sucked. No doubt about it, worst thing they ever made. But Windows 11 feels like such a breath of fresh air to me, it feels like they managed to step a bit closer to Apple with this one, I love it
@@sanderlahuis5698 i totally agree, even if i prefer macos and apple.
mac isnt as bad for games as ppl say but i do understand cos a lot of games arent compatible
hm, i have yet to have any glaring issues with windows 11. honestly i find some things to be more intuitive than windows 10. but i suppose i dont have much experience on either
