The MacBook Pro: A Game-Changer for Professionals and Enthusiasts

For those who require high-performance laptops with advanced features, the MacBook Pro is an excellent choice. The 14 and 16-inch models offer the sweet spot and more than satisfactory performance for most professionals and enthusiasts. These laptops also boast the highest amount of memory and storage available in Apple laptops, making them ideal for demanding tasks.

Both the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros come equipped with at least 16 gigs of memory and can be specced up to 64 gigabytes of memory. Additionally, they feature a minimum of 512 gigabytes of storage and can be upgraded to eight terabytes of storage. These laptops also come with faster and higher wattage charging bricks for improved charging speeds.

Another significant advantage of the MacBook Pro is its I/O capabilities. Both the 14 and 16-inch models have three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an Magsafe charging port, HDMI, and an SD card slot. This is a major upgrade from previous MacBooks, with many users appreciating the return of these useful ports.

The speakers on the MacBook Pro are also worth mentioning. The 16-inch model has a larger chassis, which contributes to its improved sound quality compared to the 14-inch model. Both laptops feature excellent speakers that will satisfy music lovers and professionals alike. Furthermore, the microphone on these MacBooks is even better than before, with some users considering it the best laptop microphone they've ever heard.

In addition to their impressive I/O capabilities and audio features, the MacBook Pro also addresses a long-standing complaint about previous MacBooks: the webcam. Both the 14 and 16-inch models feature a 1080p webcam with substantially improved image signal processing and detail. While it may not be revolutionary, this improvement is a welcome change for users who have been disappointed by lower-quality webcams in the past.

Battery Life: A Trade-Off for Performance

While the MacBook Pro offers exceptional performance, its battery life is not consistently better than other MacBooks. The 13-inch M1 Air and Pro models tend to outlast the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros, especially when put through demanding tasks. However, this is a trade-off that many users are willing to make for the added power and features of these laptops.

Pricing: A Steeper Investment

The pricing on the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros is significantly higher than other MacBooks, with base prices starting at $2,000 and topping out at over $5,000. While some users may find this price tag justified by the laptop's performance and features, others may struggle to rationalize the cost.

Recommendation: Choosing the Right Model for Your Needs

Ultimately, the right MacBook Pro model depends on your specific needs and budget. The 13-inch M1 Air is an excellent choice for those who require a thinner, lighter laptop with sufficient performance for basic tasks. The 13-inch M1 Pro offers improved power and features over the M1 Air, making it suitable for users who need more processing muscle without breaking the bank.

For professionals or enthusiasts seeking the best performance in a Mac laptop, the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros are ideal options. These laptops offer exceptional display quality, impressive speakers, and the latest I/O capabilities, making them perfect for creative professionals, developers, and anyone who requires high-performance computing.

Conclusion

The MacBook Pro is an excellent choice for those seeking high-performance laptops with advanced features. With its impressive I/O capabilities, exceptional audio features, and improved webcam, these laptops are designed to meet the needs of demanding users. While pricing may be a concern for some, the added power and features make these laptops well worth the investment for professionals and enthusiasts who require the best.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys miles here with ninety-five mack and before we close out the year i want to do a buyer's guide for anyone looking to purchase a macbook this holiday season and while this list will probably be outdated in the next three to four months i know we're definitely not getting any new macbooks for the remainder of 2021 so hopefully this guide can help anyone out who's looking to purchase a new macbook for either yourself or a loved one thankfully in the last year the macbook lineup has really been simplified so there isn't a whole lot of confusion on which models are which and as of fall 2021 all new macbook models being sold are using apple's in-house processors intel processors are officially out the window for mac laptop so if you're not quite ready to lead intel processors then you'll have to look at the used and refurbished market but in my personal experience and what pretty much everyone has experienced with apple silicon is that it makes the mac experience and especially the mac laptop experience a whole lot better than what they could have achieved with intel processors they're a lot more quiet better on battery life and offer insane performance for the size of the chips inside and if you're looking to get the best deals on all of these products i'm going to mention in this video be sure to check the links in the description down below as there will be some macs that are discounted in comparison to what apple's charging for them right now right now they're simply two different macbook versions you've got macbook air and you've got macbook pros there's only one macbook air model and then there are three macbook pro models let's dive into the air first though shall we even before getting to the other macbooks and what they have to offer i'm pretty confident in saying that the vast majority of casual laptop users will never need more than what the 999 m1 macbook air has to offer it's thin light quiet and has amazing battery life but it also packs a performance punch that most other laptops built like this could never the m1 chip found in the macbook air comes in two different versions on the apple website there's a variant with a 7 core graphics card and then an eight core graphics card model what you gain by going with the more expensive model depends on what you're going to be doing with it if you're into light video editing photo editing or graphic design you'll probably benefit in the long run by going with that eight core model i personally rocked the 7 core base model to do video edits on the go and while the experience for what i needed wasn't bad i knew i would have had a little extra breathing room with that higher spec model but if a lot of your work revolves around web-based stuff or working within the office suite the base model is definitely all you need on a performance front either version of the m1 macbook air can be specced with up to 16 gigabytes of memory and up to two terabytes of storage and a lot of people wonder if the 16 gig of memory version is worth it over the 8 gig model and i'll just say that if this is your primary machine and you plan on keeping it for as long as it'll last the 16 gigabyte model is definitely worth the extra 200 but if you can't swing it you'll still be okay for the vast majority of things you want to do the 13-inch retina display on the macbook air is one of the best at its price point it's bright vibrant and it has very true-to-life color reproduction not to mention the resolution is perfect for its size and speaking of its size i've heard from a handful of users over the years that apple should make a larger size macbook air for the crowd of people who want the large screen mac experience without all the extra bulk and crazy high-end performance that comes with the pro models and it was rumored that apple for a long time was considering making a larger macbook air model and unfortunately those plans were scrapped but who knows perhaps with enough user outcry apple will give the larger macbook air the green light but for now the larger screen is reserved for the pro macbook models only as i mentioned earlier the m1 macbook air has incredible battery life and this is one of the biggest benefits of apple producing all of their processors for their machines in-house because it allows them to optimize their machines to have the best battery life possible and the air is the best example of that apple claims up to 15 hours of web use and up to 18 hours of video playback and in a lot of cases those numbers are pretty spot on if you're not using a bunch of processor intensive applications at once you can expect the m1 air to pretty much last you all day and it'll do so with ease the air comes in at just 2.8 pounds and honestly it feels even lighter than that in my hands whenever putting the air in my backpack to go somewhere i can only just barely feel the additional weight it's adding but that's not something i can say for my 14 inch macbook pro that's a lot heavier the macbook air is rocking thunderbolt 3 usb-c ports a fantastic set of speakers and a useful touch id button you can use for locking your device and confirming purchases and installations and for a starting price of 9.99 it's easily one of the best value laptops out there for the average consumer or non-tech enthusiast it's a truly flawless experience and it's a laptop i'll always recommend to anyone who can afford it the 13-inch macbook pro with m1 is a somewhat awkward device within apple's lineup as it bears the pro moniker but is only marginally more powerful than the m1 macbook air and even that depends on what you're doing with the laptop but let's go over the main key differences between this and the macbook air firstly this 13 inch macbook pro is not offered with the 7 core gpu that the base model macbook air comes with only the 8 core variant but that's essentially the only performance difference you'll find within apple's configurator both the 13-inch air and pro come with either 8 or 16 gigabytes of memory and can be spec with up to 2 terabytes of storage so what's the big difference between the 13-inch pro and air since the 13-inch pro starts at 12.99 299 dollars more than the macbook air well there's a small handful of things firstly the touch bar the touch bar used to be something you would find on all macbook pro models but now it's exclusive to this 13-inch pro model the touch bar is effectively a digital touch screen that's used to replace your standard function keys so you can use the touch bar to adjust volume brightness and other specific functions based on whatever app you're using at the time it's neat sure but definitely not something any user needs per se the m1 macbook pro also has slightly better battery life than the air but not by a whole lot and in most cases i don't think people will find major differences between the two as far as battery performance is concerned but the display on the 13-inch pro is a little bit brighter than the airs it has a maximum of 500 nits versus 400 on the air the built-in microphone on the 13-inch pro is also noticeably better than the air but i'd say the biggest difference between the two is thickness and cooling the m1 air has a thin tapered design as opposed to the m1 macbook pro that's evenly thick all around and because of this and presumably the cooling fans the 13 inch pro comes in at 3 pounds instead of 2.8 on the macbook air the fans on the macbook pro mean that there's a chance you could hear the fans kick on when pushing the laptop to its limits and that's what will allow for that extra boost in performance compared to the macbook air because the m1 air is completely fanless apple has to limit the amount of power the air can put out to avoid the machine overheating entirely but for the vast majority of circumstances the 13-inch pros fan won't be audible at all and that's just because apple silicon is so well optimized for these machines there's effectively a 300 price gap between the base price of the 13 inch air and the 13 inch macbook pro but some would argue that you're not really getting 300 worth the extra laptop by going with the 13 inch pro over the air but if you feel like you need the touch bar the more reliable thermal setup or the slightly better battery life the 13 inch pro is not a bad option at all for 12.99 last but certainly not least are the 14 and 16 inch macbook pros these are the latest macbook models and are offering the latest and greatest of what apple has to offer on a design and performance front we're going to dive into what sets these macbook models apart from the other two but i'll quickly just say that if you want the best of the best in apple's laptop lineup these are the models you want these macbook models are rocking an all-new design featuring much more rounded edges a thicker body and a notched display these laptops are more or less a complete redesign from the 2019 pros and i'm personally a big fan of the changes made here and you can certainly expect this general design language to trickle down to all the lower end macbooks in the years to come the display is my favorite aspect of these new macbook pros the laptops feature thin bezels with 14.2 and 16.2 inch displays and all new liquid retina xdr displays using mini led technology so these laptops can get crazy bright compared to the previous macbook models these displays can get as bright as a thousand nits sustained or 1600 nits when watching hdr content so at its brightest point these displays can get four times as bright as the m1 macbook air these displays also utilize promotion which is apple's adaptive refresh rate technology which changes the display's frame rate based on whatever task you're doing and it can go all the way up to 120 hertz which has a super smooth look for things like scrolling through uis and gaming these displays are the best i've seen on a laptop thus far and if a fantastic display is what you're looking for the 14 or 16 inch pro is definitely the way to go but outside of the display one of the most impressive aspects of these laptops are their performance with these new macbook pros apple introduced two new processor options m1 pro and m1 max which offers substantially improved performance over the standard m1 chips found in the 13 inch air and 13 inch pro these processors come in in either an 8 core or 10 core configuration if you're on the 14 inch and just 10 core if you're on the 16 inch model where the customization gets deep is with the gpu core options with the 14 inch model you can select either a 14 16 24 or 32 core graphics card and with the 16 inch model you can select either a 16 24 or 32 core graphics card and each of these different specs will provide varying levels of performance but i honestly believe that the 16 core gpu option is the sweet spot and more than satisfactory for most prosumers these macbook pro models also offer the highest amount of memory and storage that you can get in an apple laptop both the 14 and 16 inch come with at least 16 gigs of memory and you can spec them all the way up to 64 gigabytes of memory they also come with a minimum of 512 gigabytes of storage and can be specked up all the way to eight terabytes of storage these laptops also come with faster and higher wattage charging bricks for improved charging speeds the i o on these macbooks is also one of the biggest selling points both the 14 and 16 inch model have three thunderbolt 4 ports a magsafe charging port hdmi and an sd card slot and we haven't had a macbook with i o like this since 2015 so the return of all these useful ports is definitely great to see and for some people it'll be their sole reason to upgrade to these machines the speakers on these macbook pros are also quite fantastic if i say so myself and because the 16 inch has a larger chassis it sounds a bit better than the 14 inch but both are extremely impressive take a listen do and then the microphone on these macbooks are even better than before and quite honestly these may be the best laptop microphones i've ever heard or used and in addition to that the headphone jack now supports high impedance headphones that would normally require a standalone amplifier to use properly with a mac apple absolutely nailed all the audio aspects of these machines a big complaint many people had with the macbooks for years was the webcam and apple finally addressed that with the 14 and 16 inch pros both models feature a 1080p webcam with substantially improved image signal processing and detail it definitely won't blow your socks off but it's vastly superior to what you'll find in the 13-inch m1 air or pro the battery life of these macbooks versus the 13-inch m1 aaron pro aren't quite as consistently good but given the additional power and brighter display this isn't really a surprise nor an issue but just know that while these are overall apple's best laptops they don't offer the best battery life objectively so just keep that in mind the pricing on the 14 and 16 inch macbook pro are also something to consider these machines are substantially more expensive at the base price than the other macbook bottles they come in at two thousand dollars and twenty five hundred dollars respectively and they can be specced out to well over five thousand dollars on either model depending on what options you need most people would argue that these laptops live up to the price tag but for anyone struggling to justify the purchase just really think about how much you actually need as far as performance and luxuries with all the macbook bottles covered all that's left is for you to decide which model should work best for your needs and if you want a thin light quiet laptop with enough performance to smash through basic tasks the air is a thousand percent my recommendation it's by far the best value mac and it's the best in its class as a laptop in general it's got fantastic battery life a great screen and all the performance reliability you could need with the m1 chip the 13 inch macbook pro with m1 is the perfect option if you want the touch bar and a little more power than the 13 inch m1 air provides without spending flagship money it's also got fantastic battery life great performance and an even brighter display and if you can catch one of these on sale it's the ultimate sweet spot the 14 and 16 inch macbook pros are the ones to get if you either want the best performance in the mac laptop the best display and build quality in a mac laptop or all of these things combined if you feel as though you need the power of m1 pro or m1 max then there's no way i wouldn't recommend these laptops to you if you can afford them and because these are apple's latest offerings anyone who buys them this holiday season should at least have a solid six to eight months of their laptop being the latest model but regardless i think all four of these macbook models should cover the vast majority of users needs and at least one of these machines if not all of them will surely be a useful gift for a student or a loved one or anyone who needs a new laptop and has the luxury of choosing a mac if you have any
