The Truth Behind the M3 MacBook Pro (30 Days Later)

Go with the rose gold skin. It is awesome.

so cool

Man maths, so true.. love it LOL

Although I use apple products but when it comes to laptops, Win11/win12 PC or laptop definitely outperform Max OS laptops. especially windows 11/12 has integrated universal mobile and tablets devices into it.

I hope I get a response before this day gets started. I bought the 14inch MacBookPro M3Max with the following specs! 14 Core CPU, 30 Core GPU, 36GB of unified memory. I believe = max 300GB/‘s memory bandwidth. My question is this.,. I will ONLY use this laptop for editing 1080p and some 4k files (drone footage) maybe some 4k DSLR footage as well with a lot of 3rd party plug in’s for Final Cut Pro X like Titles, Generators, Effects and transitioning etc… should I return this product and upgrade to 64 GB of unified memory with 16 core CPU and 40core GPU? Which by the way would = Max 400GB/s memory bandwidth! OH and does 14” vs 16” make a difference with the same exact specs? Thank you in advance.

NEVER upgrade because you will NEVER BE ABLE TO UPGRADE it

What's that thing on top of your head?

well that was sexist...

Have been using M1 MB Pro 14 inch for 18 months already and the performance is superb. I've never heard a cooling fan kicking on, even during my development work.

Background music is too loud and disturbing

"Man Math" --- I love it! That's a lot shorter than how I usually describe myself: "More credit than common sense".

The whole "I'll never need another laptop" is misleading and as a techie you know better. Apple has already been caught pushing updates to intentionally slow down and make obsolete its older hardware to increase sales of new hardware.

I just bought a Mac studio max, the base model. I do audio stuff.

Tbh, I just want the iPad, with the silicon chips within them, to have macOS on them.

I wanna draw everything with my fingers, lying in bed.

You WILL have to buy a new one in about 3 years, after they invent a new USB port and after the machine mysteriously slows down.

Never buy again... yea right, keep dreaming!

two tone ez

You probably won’t have a choice when it comes to replacing it. The long term failure rate of the Macs of the last couple years is horrendous. You can’t fix or replace the RAM or SSD. When the SSD gets to its write limit, the laptop turns into an anchor.

Man Math, yes, Man Math…lol, lol, yep, lol

I had the same service story with Apple who gave me a new laptop after out of warranty! I will never buy anything else, Apple for life.

Isnt the lack of upgradeability to protect black people? That is what the lawyer said.

Hello Pete, Thanks for the video. It's helpful. Would mind sharing the specs on your MBP m3 ?

which model is this ? 14 or 16 inch?

with 18 gb Ram, the RAM monitoring turns yellow with xcode and iOS simulator open together?

MAN MAFFS

Which brand is that impressive 57" screen?

even the M1 and M2 is even useless on ipad, they dont have many apps to use its full capability, no after affects, no animate, i thought i could replace my macbook with ipad pro, m2 and m3 are just gimmicks,apple design is just dumb, like who the heck is going to use ipad rear cameras, it just added the cost

I’ve noticed in several videos on the Mac with M3 chip. That the apple logo on the lid when opening the laptop no longer lights up.
Is this a true fact?

In response to Duet, I used it when I had Windows but now you don't even need it with Mac. My MacBook Pro automatically sees my iPad near it and allows me to automatically make it a second screen or be able to stretch my mouse over to it and choose apps from the mouse attached to the MacBook. It's actually kinda cool and completely eliminated the need for Duet.

Man, I am on a late 2013 MacBook Pro with 8GB memory and it still does the job with Ableton 10.

Just announced, the M4 PanUltimate.. It makes everything before it absolutely useless.

5 years from now Apple won't provide software updates and the M3 is useless. Apple needs your money, more than you need Apple

The M1,M2 and M3 processors are all fast enough for most people's needs. The only way to order a slow M1,M2 or M3 is to order the base 8 GB RAM and slow 256 GB SSD configurations. If I was a power user and was buying a Mac then I would order a M2 Pro Mini, a M2 Mini or an M1 Mini with at least 16 Gb of RAM and a 512 Gb SSD. I regard these Apple Silicon Macs with enough RAM and storage as being future proof.

It is outrageous that the base M1,M2 and M3 Macs all have inadequate RAM and storage and also that almost all of the Macs that Apple ships are base systems. For most PCs and laptops you can update the SSD for around $50 and can update the RAM for around $50. It would be difficult to find a PC with less than 16 Gb of RAM if they are in the Mac price range.

Nice video
Hope i get mac someday

M1 Max best pound for price power house for creators

You can buy a single HDMI to usb-c adapter. I bought one for like 90 PLN which is around 20 usd I believe. Worth purchasing as you can connect the monitor from any side. The one I bought can bear 4k @ 120hz so definitely worth it.

Will it last 12 hours of video calls?

What if I've never owned a Macbook and this i'snt an upgrade? But more-so an investment.

I've been using Duet Display for a really long time. I use it to connect it my 2017 MBP to an older iPad and run my teleprompter screen on the iPad.

Is there a difference between 14” and 16” Max Chip due to the fans? Saw the heat throttles the 14” and just ordered. Is there a way to cool the 14”? Any help is appreciated!

Nice! Man maths strikes again! 😂 Felt that.

My M1 MBP 14" 32Ram 1TB 10Core died right after upgrading the OS to Sonoma and of course my apple care expired. But my 2015 intel MBP I keep as a backup may be slower, but hasn't had any issues.

The Apple Silicon macbooks are great. And this means the Intel ones are dirt cheap. You could get a maxed out 2019 Intel 15" MBP for just 1.5K USD. Or, a maxed out 12" MacBook for 800 USD. Its a great deal for students. I have a maxed out 12 inch MacBook with the i7, 16gb of ram, and 512gb of SSD storage in the warm gold color. It does everything I need it to do, and I only got it because I found it for just 300 USD on ebay. An incredible deal!

Orange. More of a simplistic look.

Since the SSD and Ram is soldered on, you most certainty will at some point. Btw i got the M3 pro and love it, but soldered on is such a kick in the guts. Say your SSD or part of your Ram dies in a few years time.. well you cant just get a ssd, you need a whole new board

Just a quick comment: What you perceive as a review is, in fact, a classic 'you don't need this, but here's why you might want to buy it' tactic. This implies an encouragement to purchase the product and ensures the use of your affiliate link.

I am not judging you as a person, as I am sure there is more to you than this video, but why would you want to con people in this manner?

😭 ur ssd is eventually gonna fail…

Hi Pete, thank you for the excellent video, I am purchasing a Samsung 57 based on your previous reviews. Will the M3 Max drive the 57in Samsung monitor without overheating and spinning up the fans under normal conditions?
