MacBook Pro — How Much CPU do you ACTUALLY need?

I bought the MacBook Air M1, and it's the best decision I've ever made. As a web developer, everything just works flawlessly.

It should be illegal to offer 8 GB of RAM for a "Pro" laptop in 2024.

4:02 oh yes my favorite aluminum chassi cutting board

M3 also had 8 and 10 GPU variants, the 8GPU cores version can be found in base iMac.

Ok but what the M1 Max with 10-core cpu and 32-core gpu?

Whats the monitor/TV at 6:15 used by MKBHD ?? Any idea guys??

I can tell you without even watching this video that if my Mac was running the iPad A12X that would be plenty of CPU for me. It doesn’t take too much to run stuff in the terminal, do what I need to on the web, make spreadsheets and Pages docs and occasionally make video. Currently have an M1 & M2 Mac. The biggest thing is Ram. 16 GB minimum If I don’t want to pay close attention to usage like on my M2 Air.

I am thinking about getting a mac coming from pc. I do a lot of virtualization labs on my current windows pc. I don't edit videos that much only for family trips. I just do alot of Sys admin type stuff. What do you thikn the best chip is.

I want to get my first Mac and I am interested in M2 Pro 14” 16Gb and 512Gb SSD, the base model, but I’ve been reading that as it’s only a ssd block (not 256-256) the speed and data transmission is not like it should be and goes slow in some cases. That is true at the level that it bothers or there is lag if you have several tabs open in Safari, streaming app,... editing photos just time to time. I don't want to spend that money and then find something that I didn't want. Whoever has it, could you help me? What is the experience like on a day-to-day basis? Thank you

I have an early 2015 MacBook pro with intel and wanna get the MacBook Pro m3 pro. I do a lot of web browsing for work using a lot of chrome extensions. Is M1 or M2 enough for this work load? It’s not heavy work like editing and stuff like that but I would eventually like to start editing my own videos and stuff

My problem is I like to have large internal storage and once you start adding that the processors or ram just become similarly priced or for 200 more you can bump to next upgrade e

I presented a large PDF file through MS Teams on a MacBook Air M2 with 8 GB of memory to a customer. In the middle of a presentation, I got an error (like memory overflow), and the thing came crashing into my preso, and I almost lost that customer. The next day, I ordered a MacBook Pro Max from Amazon with 36 GB of memory. I didn't call the max configuration because it had a 200-dollar discount on this configuration and didn't give me the option to upgrade. I don't know if I will use all that power, but it is here if needed.😊

I wish they did an Ultra chip on a laptop. I know I am in the 0.1% of use cases here, but I would really appreciate more power than the M3 Max in my workflow in a portable device.

I need more RAM. I don't need more CPU power, base M1 is more than enough for the most tasks I do.

Mac's pricing is driving me crazy. So I just got a Macbook Pro M3 with 16gb Ram two days ago. I mostly write, but also use Adobe InDesign / Photoshop and Adobe Cloud really uses a lot of memory even when I'm not actively using it, 16 gb ram seems adequate, but for $20.00 more, I could get a refurbished M3Pro w/ 18gb Ram- I'm in the return window, I don't know if I should get it or stick with my shiny new MacBook Pro M3. I've already returned a 13 inch refurb MacBook Air that was 8/10 core, 16gb ram, 512 SSD - it seemed like the battery was draining too quickly. Any thoughts on this?

Hi Arthur, can you help me with this decision? Yesterday I bought two MacBook Pro models: 1. MacBook Pro (14-inch) - Apple M2 Pro chip with 12-core CPU and 19-core GPU, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM (2023) - $1850 2. MacBook Pro (14-inch) - Apple M2 Pro chip with 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM (2023) - $1350 I also have a question: Which one should I keep and which one should I return? (Which one is more valuable?)" The difference is 500$ is it worth it!

I just ordered 14” MacBook Pro 16g / 1TB SSD 8core CPU 10 Core GPU I plan to stream Gaming and edit videos also use Adobe Illustrator

There is no M3 ultra?

The only thing I like to mention is for my fellow AI and ML colleges the M series are good but they are a little bit pain when you want to run related tasks since the libraries are not there yet to make use of arm GPU idk maybe thats the thing in my case eventhough I am really happy with my m1 pro 16 inch macbook sometimes I wish I got a windows based laptop since it is easier to work with realted libraries like pytorch or tensor to use GPU

Awesome video, but it looks like it's time for an aspirin! Great video but now I need a aspirin
