year and i do have the last generation to compare  as far as size goes but let's take this off here   and this particular model if you were curious how  much it the actual cost is is fairly expensive   so you can see the current configuration here  and it comes in at four thousand eight hundred   and ninety nine dollars so it's very expensive  starts around 3000 or more depending on if you   get the 16 or the 14 inch let's go ahead and take  the top off the box so we'll remove the top here




there we go and this is a huge laptop so 
you'll see there's a little bit of a circle  

here i believe that's in the paper so wow that's a 
pretty heavy laptop we'll set that aside for just  

a moment and take a look at what's in the box so 
we have a charge cable and we're back to magsafe  

so let's go ahead and open this up i like how 
they're not using any plastic or tape they're  

just sort of using these little pull tabs 
just makes a lot more sense so open these up  

and we have a braided magsafe cable so this 
comes out like this wraps around so we have  

a braided magsafe cable here's the magsafe 
connector at the end it looks very familiar  

although it looks a little bit thinner 
than previous generations then we have usbc  

and




 let's set that aside for a moment we'll 
take a look at the paperwork that we get with it  

and i ordered this in space grey 
it does come in silver as well  

let's go ahead and take the literature out here 
and you'll see we've got a quick start guide  

and then we just have basically a safety and 
handling and warranty pamphlet and i think we  

have apple stickers in here and we do just kind 
of stuck in the packaging and we have two black  

apple stickers similar to that of the mac pro or 
the high-end mac so it's nice to see them putting  

the black stickers in here sort of signifies pro 
when it comes to that and then we have a power  

brick so let's take a look at this take the 
power brick out and this is pretty heavy duty

and we have the power brick now we don't get the 
extension cable with it but you can purchase that  

separately or if you have an older mac with the  extension that goes here you can just plug it   in and then you have usbc and let's take a look  around the outside and you'll see it's the 140   watt charger so about 50 percent in 30 minutes or  so so i'll put this away and let's take a closer   look at the macbook before we do that this magsafe  cable is about six feet long if you were curious   about that and it is braided so it's really nice  and should be great to use although you still can   charge through usbc so here's the macbook and this  comes in at 4.8 pounds if you have the m1 max cpu   so if you have the m1 pro it's 4.7 pounds so  let's go ahead and remove the wrapper here and you can see it says macbook pro on the bottom  so it's sort of engraved or pressed into the metal   itself and then you have four rubber feet and  you've got the different screws like you would   expect you've also got vents on either side so  you have vents on each side of the macbook this is   the back and then on the left hand side you have  your magsafe you have two thunderbolt 4 or usbc   ports an updated 3.5 millimeter headphone jack  with better impedance so it should work better   with high-end headphones around the front it looks  pretty typical for a mac on the other side we have   an sd card slot which is something i never thought  we'd see return another thunderbolt 4 port and an   hdmi port so all of those things now for a  quick size comparison before we open it up


  

let's take a look at the last generation you  can see the size is a little bit different   it has a slightly different shape to the outside  edge and let's take a look at the side of it so   if i stand these up edge to edge you get the idea  of the overall size you're almost a screen taller   on the new macbook pro but i'm okay with that  with the extra ports so it's a little bit taller   it's about the same width and about  the same height but everything else is   much thicker with all of those additional ports  so we'll open it up and take a closer look and there we go there's a look at the keyboard and  it automatically booted up so this is a huge track   pad we now have a completely black background on  the keyboard and all of the keys are black as well   we now have full size function keys and our volume  button back and to me this is much better than   what we had with the previous generation with  the touch bar i was never a fan of the touch bar   now you can see the keyboards they definitely  look different and again we have that full size   function row at the top which is something again  i thought we'd never see so touch id is a normal   size button similar to that of the new magic  keyboards for the imac and if you take a look   at the screens they're a little bit different  as well so let me take this piece off here   and you can see the screen extends up to the  corners and as you move the mouse across it   actually goes through the notch so let me show you  that so it goes through the notch as i bring the   mouse up to the top you'll see it goes through it  doesn't go around the bottom it just goes through   as though the notch was never there so now i'll  set up the new macbook and let's see what it looks   like this screen looks incredible already and  i'll get it all set up and then we'll run some   benchmarks now if you've never set up a macbook  it's pretty simple just select your language click   next then select your country or region i'm in  the india so again select that and click   continue and then it's asking about accessibility  features or settings that you might need in order   to continue so apple has always brought this to  the forefront and if you need vision motor hearing   or cognitive help you have those options i'll  just click not now and now we connect to wi-fi   now it's giving us some information about data and  privacy we'll click continue then it's asking if   i want to migrate things from my other mac to this  mac i actually use icloud a lot to back everything   up and sync everything the only thing i typically  download is final cut pro and those sorts of   things that i need so i'll go ahead and not back  up we'll hit not now and now i'll put in my apple   id once the apple id is in place you have to agree  to the terms of service so i'll go ahead and click   agree now we need to put in a password for the  mac itself after setting up my account i agreed  



to use find my and now it says make this your new 
mac and so you have options for siri screen time  

file vault disk encryption all of these things are 
set to default i'm just going to click continue  

so we'll give it just a moment you can turn 
off device analytics and app analytics and more  

but it's nice that they just made that one 
screen now we have touch id so let's go ahead  

and set that up so we'll hit continue you just 
place your finger down like you would expect

there we go

and we'll do that again just from different angles  

there we go and it says touch 
id is ready we'll click continue  

now it asks if i want to set up apple pay i'll set 
that up later and now we're all ready to the home  

screen it's asking if calendar would like to use 
my location or if i'll allow it i'll click ok and  

you can see this is the home screen let's go ahead 
and check the version that's actually installed  

on this so we'll click about this mac now you can 
see the version that's on here is actually version  

12.0 that means we're going to have an update 
apple released mac os monterey yesterday and it  

was version 12.0.1 so we should have an update 
you'll see i have 64 gigabytes of ram and it's  

the apple m1 max so again this is pretty top of 
the line except i didn't opt for the 8 terabytes  

of storage i'll go ahead and click software 
update get that started and get everything set  

up so we can check out a few benchmarks you can  see right away we have that update available and   if we go to more info it's about 2.34 gigabytes  so i'll go ahead and install that and get this up   to speed now while i'm waiting for the update to  install you can see the top corners are rounded so   it's rounded around the edge but it's squared off  in the bottom left and bottom right hand corner  


that makes it look a little nicer at the top 
i think i like the rounded corners similar  

to what we have on an iphone and they've got this 
notch now that sort of resides in the menu bar so  

it's not protruding into the display you're just 
getting a little extra room because of this bezel  

i'm sure i'll get used to that pretty quickly 
and once all of my applications are installed  

i'm sure it will be fine once they update to that 
of course when you're watching videos it shouldn't  

protrude into the display because the display is 
taller now so it's more of a 16 by 10 ratio where  

it's going to be a little bit taller so it 
shouldn't protrude into that notch you'll  

just have your your information here with sort 
of the top blacked out if you're watching a video  

now if you're curious about the specs it's an m1 
max that i mentioned earlier but the display is  

basically a pro display xdr on the go that goes 
up to 1600 nits peak brightness it's mini led  

and has huge dynamic range it's 16.2 inches from 
corner to corner and it's 3456 by 2234 with 254  

pixels per inch i don't know that there's a better 
display on the market in a macbook or any other  

device on the market at all that's this bright 
if i turn it all the way up you won't be able to  

see it and you can also adjust the refresh rate 
it goes up to 120 hertz it's got pro motion so  

if we go into display we have some modes here so 
you'll see it says apple xdr display p3 1600 nits  

and then we can change it to hdr video if we're 
editing that you've got digital cinema p3 dci and  

you have refresh rate set to pro motion however 
if you're editing video and you want it set to  

maybe 60 hertz just like a normal mac display you 
can do that or you can bring it down further if  

you'd like so whatever works for you again we can 
have this display scaled you can sort of mirror  

this over to a different display or extend it 
and eventually will have universal control also  

now apple also updated the webcam to 1080p you 
have additional sensors here in this notch so  

ambient light sensors and more but we don't have 
face id however we have the new 1080p webcam with  

the neural engine should make it look a little bit 
better but one thing we don't have is center stage  

like that of the ipad pro so that's something i'm 
surprised they didn't bring over since we have a  

similar processor but i wanted to take a listen to 
this and see what it looks like since we have new  

studio mics as well so let's see what it sounds 
like so we'll open up quicktime then we'll go to  

file and new movie recording let's go ahead 
and make sure everything's on maximum it is  

and we'll hit record and so now we're recording 
with the new macbook pro this is the 1080p webcam  

to give you an idea of what it looks like and also 
i'm no longer recording with this microphone but  

rather the mics inside the macbook pro so i'll be 
interested to see what this sounds like as soon  

as i'm done editing this video but in general it 
looks pretty good i'm just not sure it's going to  

be worthy of maybe using as your main camera if 
you're maybe live streaming or something although  

i could be wrong it does look pretty decent and 
maybe good enough for that but let me know what  

you think about the video and the microphones 
in the comments below now another nice little  

touch is when you have the webcam active you 
have a little green dot there to let you know  

that you're being recorded or that the camera is 
actually turned on so again another nice feature  

it's just sort of a hardware feature to 
let you know that it's physically turned on  

i thought we'd test the keyboard as well 
since i'm still waiting for this to update  

and let's see if it's any different than before it 
seems to be the same as the last generation where  

they fixed everything it's no longer the butterfly  keyboard so hi how are you today and it seems to   feel the exact same also it sounds the same so  let me move my microphone so you can hear it as you can see i don't type normally but it  does sound pretty quiet as well it doesn't   have too much of a clicky sound which i tend  to like everything is set up and i listened a   little bit to the speakers so i wanted you to  hear what they sound like now you're not going   to get the same sort of spatial audio but the  overall sound is much better than i expected   so i downloaded a royalty free song  here i thought i'd let you listen to   and take a listen to this i'll move my  microphone so you can hear what they sound like cheers she that gives you an idea of what the speakers  are capable of of course if you're sitting in   front of it it sounds really great so i'm  very impressed with the speakers overall   now let's run just a couple benchmarks so first  we'll go into blackmagic disk speed test and we'll   just hit start and see what we get immediately we  get 6413 for write speed and 5381 for read speed  



now we're over 7 000 for write speed and strangely 
we're lower for read speed but close to about  

5 77 megabytes a second for read speed that's 
incredibly fast let me go ahead and run geekbench  

on this now synthetic benchmarks are not going 
to give you the general idea of what it's like  

to use but it just sort of shows us what it's 
like compared to other devices so we'll go into  

geekbench 5 here i just installed this give it 
just a moment here i'll run this and let's see  

what we get so i'll run this one and then i'll 
also run a compute score as well so we'll run  

the benchmark now so the first benchmark completed 
and here i have on the left my core i9 macbook pro  

from late 2019 so this is the top of the line 
core i9 and you'll see the single core is 1003  

on the new m1 max it's 1780. for multi-core we 
have 7109 on the new m1 max version we have 12  

520. let's go ahead and close this and we'll run 
a compute score next and we'll run metal geekbench  

scores for metal completed and we had twenty 
seven thousand nine hundred and seventy five  

on the new m1 max version we have sixty eight 
thousand five hundred and fifty three so again  

incredibly powerful now in order to show the real 
processing power it's just not something i'm going  

to be able to do easily so i'm going to have to 
use it for a little while to see what it's like  

and the new m1 max 16 inch macbook pro will 
be my main editing computer from here on out  

this is going to replace the mac pro 
assuming that it's much faster so we'll  

have to wait and see what it's like editing 
but everything is sort of optimized for this

now as far as battery life well i'm at 77 battery 
life and i've been doing everything in this video  

concurrently i updated it that took about 20 
minutes i installed a bunch of other programs i  

ran those benchmarks and we're still at 77 battery 
life we could get up to 21 hours of battery life  

now it's rare for me to be able to edit more than 
one video on something like this macbook however  

it's looking like i may be able to edit a couple 
just on battery power alone so i'll have to try  

that out and see what it's like but if there's 
anything specifically you want to know about the  

new macbook pros i'd love to hear from you in 
the comments below so far it seems great it's  

definitely a very big laptop i don't mind that 
at all being someone that's going to use all of  

its features and i'll have to try out the new dac 
that's got a little higher impedance for the 3.5  

millimeter headphone jack one quick thing to know 
is this macbook is not warm at all hardly even a  

little maybe just a bit on the bottom since i've 
been running those different benchmarks and things  

but not hot like the other one the core i9 macbook 
pro would spin up its fans and get extremely hot  

so i'm curious to see over the next few days if  this gets really hot and i'm okay with that as   long as it sort of increases its performance  compared to the traditional m1 so this m1 max   is something i've been looking forward to for a  very long time and like i said if there's anything   specifically you'd like to know about it that  i can cover and maybe a full review let me know   in the comments below if you haven't subscribed  already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed
