@GOAT OF DUTY holy someone is mad looking for attention all your comments are hate leave YT and go outside smoke some trees eat some grass and talk to some sheep’s bro
I really want to say just how much I respect what you do and your approach man. You deserve all the success and more for raising the bar and showing just how good KZclip can be.
The quality is so good that you wonder why other tech channels even try 😂 I've been watching for over 8 years so it's crazy to see the growth. Great review, I am hesitating between the M1 and M2 and this helped a lot.
@Hamza Ahmad Thank you for your input! I have 2 youtube channels and a blog that I run. So a lot of editing and writing. Plus some designing that needs to be done every day and a lot of freelance work haha The M1 should be good for that right?
@Mohil Khare sure, there’s still some challenge with getting the coordinates just right but my point is the robotic arm is the essential tool, almost impossible without it
@TheEncryptedPartition aesthetics is part of the content? If you just wanted info then read an article. You are just barfing words hoping that one of them will stick to the board of meaning. Look, I can do it too. lol
the team actually purchased like a 20 thousand dollar camera gimble which is programmed to take shots like that, i thought it was pretty cool. I remember seeing a tiktok though about how marques thinks it ultimately wasn't worth it lol.
I purchased the M2 Pro without knowing it had just come out and I am blown away. I've had two MBPs prior to this, a 2010 MBP that lasted 7ish years (still runs) and a 2017 MBP that was plagued with issues (many many keyboard replacements) until the SSD died. I almost switched to a Linux build but Apple's OS and the tools I've come to appreciate are just too practical for daily non-nerd stuff. (shoutout Raycast for a beautiful spotlight alternative). Anyways, this addressed all the hardware shortcomings and complaints I had, and with it being second-generation silicon that has had time to mature the ecosystem is excellent. Couldn't recommend it enough, this thing rips.
Man of your word... Well done sir! I watched that review back then but didn't remember until now. From content to charisma to production quality, this tech channel is truly miles above the rest.
I have a MB Pro from 2012, LOL. I was going to buy an M2 MB Pro, but based on what you're saying, sounds like an M1 will provide a huge performance upgrade without breaking the bank. Thanks for the tip.
I really like how he pointed out to the people that "should" be waiting for the next M3 chips. You'll be waiting forever, but also miss out on some great deals on the older M1 that'll appear and you'll just waste your time and money by the time you're tired of waiting.
Bro your videos are amazing, always informative yet entertaining and you’re the best speaker on KZclip 🙌 Also the production quality is incredible - really on par with Netflix and Hollywood productions! Your team is doing some God’s work, keep it coming
I've been waiting soooo eagerly for this machine. I'm on a 2015 15" Macbook Pro, almost maxed out in spec. I have constantly maxed that machine out since new, but with the saga of the butterfly keyboards, removal of magsafe, etc etc... I had to wait so damn long for a replacement. Apple Silicon was an amazing swap, but I've also had to wait for the devs of the specific applications to support them. Now that is the case, I can look at finally get a workstation level machine in a laptop that can run Final Cut and astrophotography software.
Same! Maxed out 2015 MacBook Pro! I love it but thinking to finally upgrade & had to wait since I hated the 2016-2021 model, and thinking on going down the the 14” size🤔 if only the track pad on the 16” was the same size
Those intros are getting more and more fun each video. Like literally every intros and title screens are unique to the product it showcases. As if it was having fun and yet still feels professional. Kinda somewhat reminds me of the classic intros of you used to have.
They are so amazingly well done. This channel really could half ass it and probably be close to as successful as they are now. But they are always looking for ways to up their production quality. It makes these videos a joy to watch.
I just feel overwhelmed how much new tech comes out each year. Although I m not a macbook user, this year's macbook is getting me curious. Maybe by 2027, when the m5 will be here, I will finally switch from Dell! 😅
8:34 The new Mac mini interested me too. I won’t be getting one (I have the M1 Max Mac Studio and LOVE IT) but it’s interesting to see the M2 Pro in a Mac mini. That being said… they should’ve made the M2 Pro variety in Space Gray. That’s a way better look for the mini, and I’m disappointed the Mac Studio didn’t also get that darker color.
The most impressive part of his videos is him not saying “Umm” once. For as much information as he’s giving, he doesn’t use filler words. That in itself is impressive. He’s one heck of a speaker. Edit: I typed this comment before he finished the video and said it like 35 seconds after. lol. Either way, still a dope, articulate, and engaging speaker.
@BTTRSWYT were talking about he PRODUCTION quality, like the editing, at least i am, i know marques know more about tech and so do many others, but mr who’s the boss editing is way cooler in my opinion
@Loafiverse he’s a bit out of touch on a lot of things ngl. He’lol do videos about something like, say, unique mobility devices. It’s fairly obvious his research is incredibly shallow since like when he got the electric unicycle, he just got whatever the first one was from a popular company, Segway. Segways unicycle sucks. Dig even a little bit deeper and you’ll find a wealth if extended knowledge. And with his normal videos, they’re just so… shallow. I like ltt because they go a little more in depth regarding specs, same with marques to a slightly lesser extent.
I love my M1 Macbook Air, but as I get further into my degree, the code I will be writing will give this thing some struggles. I do some football pxp analytics but filtering out 10 years of data takes over a minute. Some more power would definitely be ideal, and the Air not having many ports (I use a second monitor) is tough too. I have a bit of wire Jenga going on between my console, monitor, chargers, etc. An HDMI and more than 2 USB-C ports would go a long way for me in a new MBP.
The production quality of this videos is the reason why I watch every single video from MKBHD, even the ones about stuff I don't care that much. It's amazing to watch the awesome work they all do with every single aspect of the video from start to finish.
3:30 2 questions... a) where are the more recent cpus from Intel on the cinebench charts as comparison? I did not see 12 or 13th gen represented. b) I know thermal throttling can make a difference in overall performance. Any idea how the cooling solution on these laptops are doing in keeping the cpu working full speed for more than a minute?
Hey! Everyone, I have a question regarding the Geekbench score that like the Apple optimizes these laptops for applications like final cut pro or others. Can`t they also optimise the Geekbench application and improve the score of these new laptops thus misleading ? p.s. thanks for the amazing video Marques
I had a 2012 MBP that cost me $2,900 fully spec’d out in 2012… I just upgraded to a $1,099 M2 Air… insane how much faster it is, and how far it’s come.
@Aaron Plunkett How does a Windows XP computer do all of that and have 64GB of RAM support is SP2 really that stable what I'm more confused is about the 16 cores.
@Aaron Plunkett thanks for the feedback. Really appreciated. I myself have the Air from like 2015 or so and it doesn’t get the latest macOS updates. It still runs great though. I’ve been wanting an upgrade for some time though (probably just spoiled LOL). And I’m debating between the M2 Air or the M2 Pro MBP, or even the rumored M2 Pro Air that might drop this year. Tbh, the M2 Air, like you said, will probably be enough for me, but at the same time I think the MBP is a great investment for the future. Guess it depends how badly I want to spend the extra 1k versus the usability of the features. Oh and the thinness…. 🤔
@KrazyKhajiit it does everything I need it to do (and more), and I LOVE the thinness of the body. I didn't like the last gen Air (and that was the reason I waited). Regarding the processing power: I have a VERY resource-heavy virtual organ program (Hauptwerk), and it runs it flawlessly. When I ran it on a Windows XP, it required 64GB of RAM & a hyper-threading 16-core overclocked processor to run some of the largest sample sets. This thing does it without breaking a sweat. I also have a friend who does audio/video production, and he purchased an M2 Mac Mini to replace his $5,500 Windows rig for doing production. Unless you are a POWER user, I'd stick with the air. I'm fairly certain 99% of "average" to "heavy" users will love this.
Do you think the M2 Air does everything you need without issue, that’s why you went with that one over MBP M2 Pro/Max? Or is it simply bad timing and you bought your Air before the new MBPs were announced?
Really excited for the Mac Mini review! In my opinion it is affordable and powerful, and it is the product which will push the Apple Silicon series up the market.
I still use the 16-inch, i9 8-core, 64gb ram from 3+ years ago and it's still an amazing powerhouse. The best laptop ive ever owned, love it so much. Looking forward to upgrading to these new M2, would like a bit more power at this point for multitasking while film editing, but not looking forward to dropping another $5k for it.
Would be interested to see the new Macbook Pro M2 Max stacked up against a current equivalent value windows laptop. The new apple silicon is so freaking good, would be interesting to see if intel/AMD laptops have made any gains.
Many thanks for making this video! Been reading and watching video reviews on the new Mac. I'm one of the ones who has an older mac (2012 here lol) but watching your video and Andres Vidoza's review have helped tremendously on my decision
The craziest part is that we haven't seen full software optimization of the new silicon yet. Once the software catches up, we are going to see even more dramatic improvements in performance and power consumption.
Hey Bro, love yer work. Any thoughts on how hot that big boy M2Max is getting on the heftier workloads. I’ve held out for so long to upgrade my MBP and feeling like the time is right with these new configs. I just don’t want to experience the same heat problems I’ve had with my 2011 model (lap blisters, screen melting etc).
Great video as always, love your work. I have to say I have always been a PC person, I mainly was into gaming in my spare time as I grew up. My brother was the sports ball guy, I was the tech gaming enthusiast. We had MACs growing up and PCs, I always gravitated towards the PCs. My new job had the option to go PC or Macbook. I do a lot of data processing and the PC was what I thought I would need to help flow better. there are still things I can do on a PC with MS suite better. I do have to say though, I have really come around to the Macbook. I have an older intel chip one, I believe a 2020. I really love the built in fingerprint scanner, I've really liked the touch bar for quick access on some stuff. I do dual boot windows with bootcamp if I need a windows application that isnt on Mac like Access. My only complaints about this system are 1 post ventura update, my mac will randomly shut down during sleep due to an error. 2 doing multiple monitors on this macbook was hell and I had to buy expensive special hardware for it (I need multi screens on my working set up) and I can only have two additional monitors even with the special hardware I have. The new upgrade sounds nice, but I am pretty sure you cannot dual boot windows on it. Also I would miss the touch bar, I dont use it all the time but man when I do I love it and kind of want one on my next PC laptop.
I have a M1 MBP from $work and I’ve called it “beta hardware”. It takes a while to get packer to build an x86 image (because servers are still x86 - this was improving, but beta hardware would). I’ve also run into path issues with things like terraformer etc. The chip is solid, but it’ll take another year or so for it not to get in my way.
As for the M3, I know that Apple had a working Ray-tracing engine in their A-Series lineup planned and tested. But thermals in a phone form factor bombed it out. But what if that Ray-Tracing Engine were to be in the M3. Moving to a 3nm process node may give them the real estate to implement it in the laptop thermal envelope.
Crazy Good Footage. Your review is definitely at another level. It is truely sophisticated, well organized, and super interesting. Getting insight through watching your vids. Thanks!
I haven't watched the video and probably never will cuz I don't give a flying f*** about MacBooks, but that intro, man, was just something else. I literally get goosebumps seeing it. And I have lost count of how many times I've rewinded to watch it again and again. Very professional, just incredible.
It is definitely not worth the jump, not at least for 2 more years, but if youre a casual user, Apple supports their machines for a while and you could probably get away with 7 years
Indeed, if you're going to wait for new tech, you will be waiting forever... Of course, everything depends on your situation. If you can afford to wait a couple of weeks/months. It might be worth it. But like you said: Technology improves constantly. That Mac Mini looks really interesting! 😎
I can't wait for the episode where MKB reviews his knew maxed out Mac Pro. I feel like Apple has already developed the machine and is just scrambling to get the matte black finish on the box perfect.
It's crazy, Marques' videos are the only videos I watch full without skipping a bit. And when a video is out, I cannot wait to sit down and watch it ! Props to your hard work Marques! 🙏
Well I’m a new subscriber and love your presentation of what users want. I’m not video editing (yet) but since I’m old enough to have been exposed to magnetic punch tape programming and other ancient slow things I’m all about spending the money for long term service. You’ve convinced me to invest in an m2 max 16” MacBook with at least 64gb ram and maybe the 96gb I need space so I’ll go with 4TB ssd. I was thinking only a Mac mini but I want the ability to be portable Nothing more frustrating when you want to carry your computer with you and you can’t because you chose to save a few thousand. It’s only a 1 time purchase so it’s important to spend right.
I decided to stop waiting for a M2 Pro when I wanted to upgrade from my 13 M1 MBP in November when all things combined (welcome offer on a new credit card, cash back on that card, it being on sale, being able to sell my original M1) it came out to just under 2 grand before selling my M1 MBP. Loved it since and since I'm not in the category that needs a super uber powerful laptop not looking to upgrade (I would have gone with the Air if they had a 15 inch with ProMotion because I'm sensitive to refresh rate)
Your production quality is on point and also, I love your understated humour.... Like with this video, you said wait until Q3 of 2027 to prove a point that waiting for the best thing in tech basically means you're going to be waiting forever!
@mysterioso 100 ...Sorry, but yes. Do you have a device that connects to the internet? Great. Google the definition of on point. There are two definitions. 1. US Relevant and appropriate to what is happening or being discussed. "none of the above comments are on point" 2. INFORMAL • US extremely good, attractive, or stylish. "her outfit was on point" Both are correct. You are the embarrassment in this situation.
Love your team's video creation skill! As an avid Final Cut Pro user the M2 Pro 16" has been CLUTCH, I am coming from a 2013 iMac 27". I must ask (to anyone on this channel) how do I get my iPhone 13 Pro footage shot in 4K to look more "cinematic" and not like news footage? I know how to color balance and all of that, but much of my footage looks like Family Ties and not Back to the Future (hopefully most get that reference). Any help would be appreciated.
I've needed a new computer since my mid 2014 Macbook Pro, and this might be one of the greatest upgrade with the tech differences. Still chugging along on an i7 4 core CPU with 16GB RAM. Last Mac before my current one had its GPU throttled I needed a replacement card after 3 years (cause I burned it out after some hefty After Effects renders lmao). With my current Mac being about 9 years old, I predict that I could probably get two decades out of an M2 Chip if it didn't lose compatibility with new OSes first.
How does this dude get 3 million views within two days? This dude is the best tech reviewer on KZclip. I wish we would review TVs more often though. As far as the new MacBook goes, it looks dope; but I wish they didn't get rid of the Touch Bar. I have 2020 16 inch MacBook Pro and I love the Touch Bar. Also, adding the notch on top was unnecessary.
@Adam J Were you paying attention at all? He’s got sweet opening shots and a sweet intro. He’s also very creative about his opening shots as well as his review. I doubt you could do better. 😂
Huh? There’s countless KZcliprs with great production. He just sat in one spot and talked to the camera the whole video. While pasting in a couple clips.
I can confirm that they where planed way earlier. The Devices where showing up in Partner Buy Portals around October or even September but had no prices. Usally they show up around 4 weeks before launch according to my Suppliers. Maybe they had issues producing enough units to start selling them
I'm over here rocking an M1 MacBook Air, and desperately looking for a reason to upgrade. But...I can't! Literally, this has been the best laptop I've ever owned. I'll probably have it another three years and it'll run dependably because Apple did SUCH a knockout job. They really hit the ground running!
You should make an annual video where following new Apple product launches you talk about which device in the current line-up of Macs/Macbooks, iPads, iPhones and Watches is the right one to buy for each different type of consumers based on their needs and which device they currently have, so basically a consumer guide! That would be super interesting!
Question: What about Apple’s M2 Max chip with 30-core GPU vs Apple’s M2 Max chip with 38-core GPU 🤔 That’s my buying dilemma ordering the MacBook Pro 14-inch with Apple’s new M2 Max chip …curious about thoughts which new M2 Max chip to choose ?
You're the only KZclipr I know who can pull off that look, MKB. Thanks for staying true to your word and props for wearing shower sandals to the studio.
Hey Marques! Could you, please, make a video on how to protect the screen of the MacBook Pros (especially the newer ones) from getting the keys from the keyboard permanently imprinted (scratching) on the display? Especially if you put a laptop on top of another laptop.
snagged the base model M1 Macbook pro on sale for $1500 and while I feel like that was a killer deal, the tech consumer in me wants the newest and best thing lol. But I'm sure the base M1 pro will still cruise through music production and other basic needs.
the film proccess behind your videos is amazing. Im just getting started in videography and photography, and seeing how clean the scenes flow from one to the next, and seemingly flawless transtions are truly something I aspire to be able to do in my own way. thats for being an Insportation :)
Just a comment on the chart topping single core cinebench score. Saw 1700 for m2 max, but I recall getting around 1600 on my 5800x. I think the 13th gen Intel and 7000 series and chips hit over 2000. M2 max looking great nonetheless :)
My Legion 5i Pro with a i7-12700H gets over 1800 single and 18500 multi. The charts in the video are completely biased to show that the M2 Max "tops out" the competition. Not to mention my laptop is equipped with a OC'd RTX 3070 and cost only ~40% of the price of these new M2 macs.
I personally really like the touchbar. I have the M1 macbook pro and its always so much fun using the touchbar and I never understood why it got so much hate
Be great to hear your thoughts on apple taking away the M1 pro / max laptops and now have their baseline pro laptop i.e the m2 pro £200 more expensive. Feels like a bit of a money grab. The M1 Pro is more than enough power for most pro apps not that I’m against an upgrade of power. Just a shame they’re essentially raising the price of a pro model by £200 for something no one was asking for. Will the m5 be £1k more expensive?
Did they raise the price in the UK? I’m American but I just bought an M2 Max MBP and it was the exact same price as the M1 Max MBP before it was replaced on the site. I wonder why they didn’t raise the price here.
You know a video is so good that people are commenting about the quality of the video instead of the product the video is about. Kudos to the whole team. Nailing it every single time.
What gave away that the "event" video was filmed months ago was the weather. I live a couple of miles away from Apple Park and it's been raining a lot. The skies in the video are fairly good, so probably wasn't filmed in the past month at least.
Great review. I really wish their baseline for storage at this point was 1tb. I really don't want to spend an additional $200 to upgrade from 512gb to 1tb.
You're right when you say it's not a 'quantum leap', because that would technically be the smallest possible iteration they could make, but a respectable speed bump seems spot on. As for the socks and sandals, awesome!!
A quantum leap is not describing a small step, but the overcoming of a prior unpassable barrier or threshold. A bump or leap stays in the same innovation level, while a quantum leap is teleporting out of it.

Marques production quality is on point, mad respect for 14 years of hard work
@zulfika he did not have any money when he started and still managed to create quality videos…
🎤 “Why you so mad” ❔
Editing is 🔥 first thing i said too. Soo on point
One of the few tech reviewers who people should trust
I watch every video just because they are so good looking. It's like candy for my eyes. Respect +
Still one of my favorite tech channels!
Yes, it's impressive
nice
👍
Nice
Bien
The production quality has gone up and up and up and doesn't stop. Great work Marques and team!
@GOAT OF DUTY holy someone is mad looking for attention all your comments are hate leave YT and go outside smoke some trees eat some grass and talk to some sheep’s bro
Bad joke, your comment as well as the "review" with basically barely any points.
Looks like your production quality is also increasing incrementally by 20% every year, it's awesome to see you and your team expressing your passion!

Sleek video editing quality, but also the review feels more grounded unlike those usual company-style reviews. Great vid, Marques and the team!
I just love how much production went into you showing us the same gray box we've been getting for quite some time now.
📞📤📤
That intro felt like an apple event. Great job MKBHD team!
@VicarBrador Thats a bold statement 😅
Congratulations, you drank the tech cult Kool-Aid.
How, he gave a pretty honest review
That’s cause this channel is basically an Apple ad company.
looks like marques become a advertiser for Apple
Man, the visual effects and videography are so freaking good. I love this channel.
I really want to say just how much I respect what you do and your approach man. You deserve all the success and more for raising the bar and showing just how good KZclip can be.
The quality is so good that you wonder why other tech channels even try 😂 I've been watching for over 8 years so it's crazy to see the growth. Great review, I am hesitating between the M1 and M2 and this helped a lot.
@Vic Birth thats why i specified IF you find m1 on a good deal
practically the same price to be honest.
@Awa Ndiaye M1 pro should be more than good enough for that so yes if you get a good deal on it, go for it over the M2
@Hamza Ahmad definitely m1 is enough
@Hamza Ahmad Thank you for your input! I have 2 youtube channels and a blog that I run. So a lot of editing and writing. Plus some designing that needs to be done every day and a lot of freelance work haha The M1 should be good for that right?
still can't get over how clean that intro was, probably the best they've had
@Citystar productions lmao trash pr
The song is called Darude sandstorm
@Michael do it then lol
@Mohil Khare sure, there’s still some challenge with getting the coordinates just right but my point is the robotic arm is the essential tool, almost impossible without it
@Michael dude if it was that easy anyone could've pulled that off.
You and your team makes such great videos. Full of info while still be very entertaining. Thank you.
Man these intros are super crazy! Kudos to the team for hours if not days of planning and execution to render out the finest of intros!!
@LittleBigParardise I guess we’re different
@TheEncryptedPartition aesthetics is part of the content? If you just wanted info then read an article.
You are just barfing words hoping that one of them will stick to the board of meaning. Look, I can do it too. lol
@TheEncryptedPartition ¿Porqué no los dos?
the team actually purchased like a 20 thousand dollar camera gimble which is programmed to take shots like that, i thought it was pretty cool. I remember seeing a tiktok though about how marques thinks it ultimately wasn't worth it lol.
@TheEncryptedPartition how sad that people show appreciation to a well made, quality intro 😐
I purchased the M2 Pro without knowing it had just come out and I am blown away. I've had two MBPs prior to this, a 2010 MBP that lasted 7ish years (still runs) and a 2017 MBP that was plagued with issues (many many keyboard replacements) until the SSD died. I almost switched to a Linux build but Apple's OS and the tools I've come to appreciate are just too practical for daily non-nerd stuff. (shoutout Raycast for a beautiful spotlight alternative). Anyways, this addressed all the hardware shortcomings and complaints I had, and with it being second-generation silicon that has had time to mature the ecosystem is excellent. Couldn't recommend it enough, this thing rips.
Bro, you knock every video out of the ball park. Making tech specs fun to watch. Always happy for your success.
Man, congratulations on your superb production quality. You set the standard so high for the rest of tech KZcliprs!

I have a MB Pro from 2012, LOL. I was going to buy an M2 MB Pro, but based on what you're saying, sounds like an M1 will provide a huge performance upgrade without breaking the bank. Thanks for the tip.
That robot intro ❤
Any plans to use it on your channel soon? lol
@Rodrigo Mirazo how i feel 20syl remix
What is the name of the song
song is crazy 😝
what’s the name of that song???!??!
the opening shot looks amazing! you can tell they’re getting so much better at using that robot lol
I really like how he pointed out to the people that "should" be waiting for the next M3 chips. You'll be waiting forever, but also miss out on some great deals on the older M1 that'll appear and you'll just waste your time and money by the time you're tired of waiting.
Bro your videos are amazing, always informative yet entertaining and you’re the best speaker on KZclip 🙌 Also the production quality is incredible - really on par with Netflix and Hollywood productions! Your team is doing some God’s work, keep it coming
I've been waiting soooo eagerly for this machine. I'm on a 2015 15" Macbook Pro, almost maxed out in spec. I have constantly maxed that machine out since new, but with the saga of the butterfly keyboards, removal of magsafe, etc etc... I had to wait so damn long for a replacement. Apple Silicon was an amazing swap, but I've also had to wait for the devs of the specific applications to support them. Now that is the case, I can look at finally get a workstation level machine in a laptop that can run Final Cut and astrophotography software.
Same! Maxed out 2015 MacBook Pro! I love it but thinking to finally upgrade & had to wait since I hated the 2016-2021 model, and thinking on going down the the 14” size🤔 if only the track pad on the 16” was the same size
He knows exactly what he’s talking about. He is so clear, and In my opinion the best tech reviewer out there! Keep up the amazing work 🎉
Those intros are getting more and more fun each video. Like literally every intros and title screens are unique to the product it showcases. As if it was having fun and yet still feels professional. Kinda somewhat reminds me of the classic intros of you used to have.
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.3 so you're the 3rd one doing this? ok, good luck sir.
@Random Dud3 It does, do you want the same bot comments on your videos?
@Jordan Pulciani You make no sense at all
@Joel Conolly It’s everywhere
They are so amazingly well done.
This channel really could half ass it and probably be close to as successful as they are now. But they are always looking for ways to up their production quality. It makes these videos a joy to watch.
Your videos only get better! So much quality. Thanks for the content. 😍
I just feel overwhelmed how much new tech comes out each year. Although I m not a macbook user, this year's macbook is getting me curious. Maybe by 2027, when the m5 will be here, I will finally switch from Dell! 😅

@Majoogly Tango mate yes he did casually add those words. He isn't a robot. And he doesn't cut his videos. He's the goat.
@The Plug So, he casually added the word "umm" 3 times into his script? Also, why be a hater?
He's reading from a script. It's rehearsed smh
There's absolutely no one does this level of production on tech videos on KZclip, mad props!!🙌🏼
@BTTRSWYT kk im the complete opposite ngl lol because i know like nothing about tech and am only 12
@Loafiverse ya know, that’s fair. I guess my opinion of him overall is based more on him as a reviewer and less based on the fancy packaging.
@BTTRSWYT were talking about he PRODUCTION quality, like the editing, at least i am, i know marques know more about tech and so do many others, but mr who’s the boss editing is way cooler in my opinion
@Loafiverse he’s a bit out of touch on a lot of things ngl. He’lol do videos about something like, say, unique mobility devices.

Dig even a little bit deeper and you’ll find a wealth if extended knowledge. And with his normal videos, they’re just so… shallow. I like ltt because they go a little more in depth regarding specs, same with marques to a slightly lesser extent.
Mad respect for Marquees. I dont fail to watch your reviews before buying these products
Love the honest and unbiased review from Marques!
I love my M1 Macbook Air, but as I get further into my degree, the code I will be writing will give this thing some struggles. I do some football pxp analytics but filtering out 10 years of data takes over a minute. Some more power would definitely be ideal, and the Air not having many ports (I use a second monitor) is tough too. I have a bit of wire Jenga going on between my console, monitor, chargers, etc. An HDMI and more than 2 USB-C ports would go a long way for me in a new MBP.
I loved the real world example shown of screenflow. that's the stuff that actually matters
I really want one of these, but I have no real need to upgrade my 13" M1 (besides wanting a slightly larger screen). A 14/16" is very tempting though!
The production quality of this videos is the reason why I watch every single video from MKBHD, even the ones about stuff I don't care that much. It's amazing to watch the awesome work they all do with every single aspect of the video from start to finish.
Huh? He just sat in one spot and talked to the camera the whole video. While pasting in a couple clips.
3:30 2 questions... a) where are the more recent cpus from Intel on the cinebench charts as comparison? I did not see 12 or 13th gen represented. b) I know thermal throttling can make a difference in overall performance. Any idea how the cooling solution on these laptops are doing in keeping the cpu working full speed for more than a minute?
As a comparison the Core i9-13900K scores 2,243 in single-core and 39,689 multi-core.
Hey! Everyone,
I have a question regarding the Geekbench score that like the Apple optimizes these laptops for applications like final cut pro or others. Can`t they also optimise the Geekbench application and improve the score of these new laptops thus misleading ?
p.s. thanks for the amazing video Marques
I had a 2012 MBP that cost me $2,900 fully spec’d out in 2012… I just upgraded to a $1,099 M2 Air… insane how much faster it is, and how far it’s come.
@Aaron Plunkett How does a Windows XP computer do all of that and have 64GB of RAM support is SP2 really that stable what I'm more confused is about the 16 cores.
@Aaron Plunkett Umm, maybe the Windows XP was your bottleneck as Hauptwerk requires a 64-bit Windows (7+) to operate smoothly 😄
@Aaron Plunkett thanks for the feedback. Really appreciated.
I myself have the Air from like 2015 or so and it doesn’t get the latest macOS updates. It still runs great though.
I’ve been wanting an upgrade for some time though (probably just spoiled LOL). And I’m debating between the M2 Air or the M2 Pro MBP, or even the rumored M2 Pro Air that might drop this year. Tbh, the M2 Air, like you said, will probably be enough for me, but at the same time I think the MBP is a great investment for the future. Guess it depends how badly I want to spend the extra 1k versus the usability of the features. Oh and the thinness…. 🤔
@KrazyKhajiit it does everything I need it to do (and more), and I LOVE the thinness of the body. I didn't like the last gen Air (and that was the reason I waited). Regarding the processing power: I have a VERY resource-heavy virtual organ program (Hauptwerk), and it runs it flawlessly. When I ran it on a Windows XP, it required 64GB of RAM & a hyper-threading 16-core overclocked processor to run some of the largest sample sets. This thing does it without breaking a sweat.
I also have a friend who does audio/video production, and he purchased an M2 Mac Mini to replace his $5,500 Windows rig for doing production.
Unless you are a POWER user, I'd stick with the air. I'm fairly certain 99% of "average" to "heavy" users will love this.
Do you think the M2 Air does everything you need without issue, that’s why you went with that one over MBP M2 Pro/Max?
Or is it simply bad timing and you bought your Air before the new MBPs were announced?
Really excited for the Mac Mini review! In my opinion it is affordable and powerful, and it is the product which will push the Apple Silicon series up the market.
Might finally upgrade my maxed out 15” from 2015!
But I think I’ll go down to the 14” , I don’t like the overly large track pad
The team at MKBHD is killing it again. The quality of the reviews keep going up and up.
Thank you for giving such a detailed review. I’m in the market for a laptop and this helps!
I still use the 16-inch, i9 8-core, 64gb ram from 3+ years ago and it's still an amazing powerhouse. The best laptop ive ever owned, love it so much. Looking forward to upgrading to these new M2, would like a bit more power at this point for multitasking while film editing, but not looking forward to dropping another $5k for it.
@Arcraz522 Yeah that's not worth spending 2.5-3K extra compared to a more powerful 12th/13th gen intel laptop with a discrete GPU
You'll appreciate your laptop not sounding like a jet engine taking off
Great info, great video and great delivery! You are very nice to follow during your explanations. Tech with some fun! Greetings from Europe!
MKBHD content just gets better and better I love it :)
Would be interested to see the new Macbook Pro M2 Max stacked up against a current equivalent value windows laptop. The new apple silicon is so freaking good, would be interesting to see if intel/AMD laptops have made any gains.
Man these intros feels from a different universe altogether. What production guys!
From this day hence forth you will be called "Captain Hyperbole"
Many thanks for making this video! Been reading and watching video reviews on the new Mac. I'm one of the ones who has an older mac (2012 here lol) but watching your video and Andres Vidoza's review have helped tremendously on my decision
Imagine if there would be dynamic island for the upcoming MacBooks. Its gonna be soo good!!
Editing is 🔥i like how the apple lights up. I like the purple. Nice review very technical comparing the 2 processors
The craziest part is that we haven't seen full software optimization of the new silicon yet. Once the software catches up, we are going to see even more dramatic improvements in performance and power consumption.

Hey Bro, love yer work. Any thoughts on how hot that big boy M2Max is getting on the heftier workloads. I’ve held out for so long to upgrade my MBP and feeling like the time is right with these new configs. I just don’t want to experience the same heat problems I’ve had with my 2011 model (lap blisters, screen melting etc).
It's an honor to have grown up together following tech and watching your videos. They just keep getting better and better
@A. A. Exactly
@SB Films like telling other people they need more honourable things in their life?
An honour? You need more honourable things to do pal
ya but he is doing all this cool shit. and you are not! how does that make you feel @Jacob Elias?
Great video as always, love your work. I have to say I have always been a PC person, I mainly was into gaming in my spare time as I grew up. My brother was the sports ball guy, I was the tech gaming enthusiast. We had MACs growing up and PCs, I always gravitated towards the PCs. My new job had the option to go PC or Macbook. I do a lot of data processing and the PC was what I thought I would need to help flow better. there are still things I can do on a PC with MS suite better. I do have to say though, I have really come around to the Macbook. I have an older intel chip one, I believe a 2020. I really love the built in fingerprint scanner, I've really liked the touch bar for quick access on some stuff. I do dual boot windows with bootcamp if I need a windows application that isnt on Mac like Access. My only complaints about this system are 1 post ventura update, my mac will randomly shut down during sleep due to an error. 2 doing multiple monitors on this macbook was hell and I had to buy expensive special hardware for it (I need multi screens on my working set up) and I can only have two additional monitors even with the special hardware I have.
The new upgrade sounds nice, but I am pretty sure you cannot dual boot windows on it. Also I would miss the touch bar, I dont use it all the time but man when I do I love it and kind of want one on my next PC laptop.
I have a M1 MBP from $work and I’ve called it “beta hardware”. It takes a while to get packer to build an x86 image (because servers are still x86 - this was improving, but beta hardware would). I’ve also run into path issues with things like terraformer etc. The chip is solid, but it’ll take another year or so for it not to get in my way.
my pleasure! let's talk about that
As for the M3, I know that Apple had a working Ray-tracing engine in their A-Series lineup planned and tested. But thermals in a phone form factor bombed it out. But what if that Ray-Tracing Engine were to be in the M3. Moving to a 3nm process node may give them the real estate to implement it in the laptop thermal envelope.
Looks Amazing! you can tell they’re getting so much better❤️
Crazy Good Footage. Your review is definitely at another level. It is truely sophisticated, well organized, and super interesting. Getting insight through watching your vids. Thanks!
That intro was smooth af, those transitions were absolutely beautiful
He’s putting that robot to use 👌🏼
Af means
I haven't watched the video and probably never will cuz I don't give a flying f*** about MacBooks, but that intro, man, was just something else. I literally get goosebumps seeing it. And I have lost count of how many times I've rewinded to watch it again and again. Very professional, just incredible.
Marques is excellent, and I have huge respect for his reviews .Well presented, and he channel is definitely best on KZclip
Im still rocking my M1 16GB MBA, so I won't upgrade anytime soon, but man this M2 MBP is a monster!
Nice work as always Marques!
It is definitely not worth the jump, not at least for 2 more years, but if youre a casual user, Apple supports their machines for a while and you could probably get away with 7 years
I have been using M1 16GB MBP, but I feel like I am gonna use this until there is a MBP that is mind-blowing monstrous.
Indeed, if you're going to wait for new tech, you will be waiting forever... Of course, everything depends on your situation. If you can afford to wait a couple of weeks/months. It might be worth it. But like you said: Technology improves constantly. That Mac Mini looks really interesting! 😎
absolutely. thank you very much, let's talk about that 📞👆
I can't wait for the episode where MKB reviews his knew maxed out Mac Pro. I feel like Apple has already developed the machine and is just scrambling to get the matte black finish on the box perfect.
It's crazy, Marques' videos are the only videos I watch full without skipping a bit. And when a video is out, I cannot wait to sit down and watch it ! Props to your hard work Marques! 🙏
The same single comment seen everywhere
There isn't a single boring moment. The guy is good.
why would you download before watching
I was 100% sure the intro was made by Apple, but no 😮
The editing of your videos are next level 🔥
Great review(as usual)...I have the first gen 16" and I could use a bump ...considering it..
Well I’m a new subscriber and love your presentation of what users want. I’m not video editing (yet) but since I’m old enough to have been exposed to magnetic punch tape programming and other ancient slow things I’m all about spending the money for long term service. You’ve convinced me to invest in an m2 max 16” MacBook with at least 64gb ram and maybe the 96gb I need space so I’ll go with 4TB ssd. I was thinking only a Mac mini but I want the ability to be portable
Nothing more frustrating when you want to carry your computer with you and you can’t because you chose to save a few thousand. It’s only a 1 time purchase so it’s important to spend right.

I decided to stop waiting for a M2 Pro when I wanted to upgrade from my 13 M1 MBP in November when all things combined (welcome offer on a new credit card, cash back on that card, it being on sale, being able to sell my original M1) it came out to just under 2 grand before selling my M1 MBP. Loved it since and since I'm not in the category that needs a super uber powerful laptop not looking to upgrade (I would have gone with the Air if they had a 15 inch with ProMotion because I'm sensitive to refresh rate)
That was a sick intro. This is literally why I watch these, for the sheer production quality.
9th comment about the intro
Check OptimumTech, arguably even better production value while still being much smaller channel
Agreed!
@DontReadMyProfilePicture.3 ok I won't
Your production quality is on point and also, I love your understated humour.... Like with this video, you said wait until Q3 of 2027 to prove a point that waiting for the best thing in tech basically means you're going to be waiting forever!
@mysterioso 100 ...Sorry, but yes. Do you have a device that connects to the internet? Great. Google the definition of on point. There are two definitions.
1. US
Relevant and appropriate to what is happening or being discussed.
"none of the above comments are on point"
2.
INFORMAL • US
extremely good, attractive, or stylish.
"her outfit was on point"
Both are correct.
You are the embarrassment in this situation.
@mysterioso 100 They used it correctly.
Definition:
INFORMAL • US
extremely good, attractive, or stylish.
Example: Her outfit was on point.
Learn what “on point” means and how to use it.
Love your team's video creation skill! As an avid Final Cut Pro user the M2 Pro 16" has been CLUTCH, I am coming from a 2013 iMac 27". I must ask (to anyone on this channel) how do I get my iPhone 13 Pro footage shot in 4K to look more "cinematic" and not like news footage? I know how to color balance and all of that, but much of my footage looks like Family Ties and not Back to the Future (hopefully most get that reference). Any help would be appreciated.
@Jonathan Varghese no not shooting in 24 fps but I am editing and finalizing in 24 fps.
Only thing that comes to mind would be checking the frames per second? Possibly you’re not exporting/shooting at 24FPS?
I've needed a new computer since my mid 2014 Macbook Pro, and this might be one of the greatest upgrade with the tech differences. Still chugging along on an i7 4 core CPU with 16GB RAM. Last Mac before my current one had its GPU throttled I needed a replacement card after 3 years (cause I burned it out after some hefty After Effects renders lmao). With my current Mac being about 9 years old, I predict that I could probably get two decades out of an M2 Chip if it didn't lose compatibility with new OSes first.

How does this dude get 3 million views within two days? This dude is the best tech reviewer on KZclip. I wish we would review TVs more often though.
As far as the new MacBook goes, it looks dope; but I wish they didn't get rid of the Touch Bar. I have 2020 16 inch MacBook Pro and I love the Touch Bar. Also, adding the notch on top was unnecessary.
I love the way you explain this. Jumps and bumps. Also, the production quality you have is insane. Love it.
@Adam J Were you paying attention at all? He’s got sweet opening shots and a sweet intro. He’s also very creative about his opening shots as well as his review. I doubt you could do better. 😂
@Adam J if It's that easy, why don't u do it?
Huh? There’s countless KZcliprs with great production. He just sat in one spot and talked to the camera the whole video. While pasting in a couple clips.
I can confirm that they where planed way earlier. The Devices where showing up in Partner Buy Portals around October or even September but had no prices. Usally they show up around 4 weeks before launch according to my Suppliers.
Maybe they had issues producing enough units to start selling them
congratulations👆👆 you've won🎉 some package let's talk with the 👆 above name 👆👆👆 only one on telegram......
I'm over here rocking an M1 MacBook Air, and desperately looking for a reason to upgrade. But...I can't! Literally, this has been the best laptop I've ever owned. I'll probably have it another three years and it'll run dependably because Apple did SUCH a knockout job. They really hit the ground running!
You should make an annual video where following new Apple product launches you talk about which device in the current line-up of Macs/Macbooks, iPads, iPhones and Watches is the right one to buy for each different type of consumers based on their needs and which device they currently have, so basically a consumer guide! That would be super interesting!

Question: What about Apple’s M2 Max chip with 30-core GPU vs Apple’s M2 Max chip with 38-core GPU 🤔 That’s my buying dilemma ordering the MacBook Pro 14-inch with Apple’s new M2 Max chip …curious about thoughts which new M2 Max chip to choose ?
After several reviews finally one that addressed the difference between the pro and max
I am just so excited for new tech, it's one of the few things that create hope for a better future
You're the only KZclipr I know who can pull off that look, MKB. Thanks for staying true to your word and props for wearing shower sandals to the studio.
Hey Marques! Could you, please, make a video on how to protect the screen of the MacBook Pros (especially the newer ones) from getting the keys from the keyboard permanently imprinted (scratching) on the display? Especially if you put a laptop on top of another laptop.
snagged the base model M1 Macbook pro on sale for $1500 and while I feel like that was a killer deal, the tech consumer in me wants the newest and best thing lol. But I'm sure the base M1 pro will still cruise through music production and other basic needs.
No one does tech reviews as good as MKBHD
the film proccess behind your videos is amazing. Im just getting started in videography and photography, and seeing how clean the scenes flow from one to the next, and seemingly flawless transtions are truly something I aspire to be able to do in my own way. thats for being an Insportation :)
Loved the intro, the transition was so smooth. Amazing work!
It would be great to start including the Blender benchmark when comparing benchmark results
Just a comment on the chart topping single core cinebench score. Saw 1700 for m2 max, but I recall getting around 1600 on my 5800x. I think the 13th gen Intel and 7000 series and chips hit over 2000. M2 max looking great nonetheless :)
My Legion 5i Pro with a i7-12700H gets over 1800 single and 18500 multi. The charts in the video are completely biased to show that the M2 Max "tops out" the competition. Not to mention my laptop is equipped with a OC'd RTX 3070 and cost only ~40% of the price of these new M2 macs.
I personally really like the touchbar. I have the M1 macbook pro and its always so much fun using the touchbar and I never understood why it got so much hate
I agree i love it there should be options people are so picky it made my work flow so easy
Be great to hear your thoughts on apple taking away the M1 pro / max laptops and now have their baseline pro laptop i.e the m2 pro £200 more expensive. Feels like a bit of a money grab. The M1 Pro is more than enough power for most pro apps not that I’m against an upgrade of power. Just a shame they’re essentially raising the price of a pro model by £200 for something no one was asking for. Will the m5 be £1k more expensive?
Did they raise the price in the UK? I’m American but I just bought an M2 Max MBP and it was the exact same price as the M1 Max MBP before it was replaced on the site. I wonder why they didn’t raise the price here.
Is that a surprise? Everything apple does is a money, sucks they're an American company
You know a video is so good that people are commenting about the quality of the video instead of the product the video is about. Kudos to the whole team. Nailing it every single time.
I am using M1 pro on 16 inch MacBook and the biggest thing which i love about the device is the battery life, it is just amazing .
What gave away that the "event" video was filmed months ago was the weather. I live a couple of miles away from Apple Park and it's been raining a lot. The skies in the video are fairly good, so probably wasn't filmed in the past month at least.
I been watching this brother for a long time. He’s information is on point. Thanks bro.
i can’t stop watching this intro over and over. it’s so smooth. i love it
Congratulations you are the winner🎉🎉🥂🥂. Dm username above to claim the gift.
Great review. I really wish their baseline for storage at this point was 1tb. I really don't want to spend an additional $200 to upgrade from 512gb to 1tb.
You're right when you say it's not a 'quantum leap', because that would technically be the smallest possible iteration they could make, but a respectable speed bump seems spot on. As for the socks and sandals, awesome!!
A quantum leap is not describing a small step, but the overcoming of a prior unpassable barrier or threshold. A bump or leap stays in the same innovation level, while a quantum leap is teleporting out of it.
