Comment from : @NinerRick

Price at my Apple Store is 1599 for the M4 14 Pro, 1299 Air 15 M3, watching video to see if I should get the Pro or Air, daughter just needs a new laptop for college next fall
Comment from : @michaelsatchwell6037

Guys i need advice im thinking of buying mb pro 14 witch 14 inch m4 but on the other hand mb air 15 inch m3 is cheaper like 330e So, do I stick with mb pro or should i buy cheaper one if there isnt like big difference?
Comment from : @filipberovic

So back in the day you would expect laptops to at least double in performance from generation to generation Now the next gen pro model is barely faster than last years air model People should chill the FOMO a little

Comparing laptop speakers isn’t going to be a olympic sport anytime soon;-)
Comment from : @hepphepps8356

Still rocking my M1 MPA, I love watching these videos, but I can’t see upgrading until M10 maybe
Comment from : @ThunderStruck94660

both technically got the m3 air and took it back and got the m4 pro MacBook Pro
Comment from : @Liquidmoto

Good points, quite generic but nice comparison shots, however I have some missing or confusing information br1 M3 Air is reaching 100*C during prolonged cpu intensive task - honestly, I don't care about the cpu temps, as long as it's managed fine by the system What interests me is how it affects the chassis How's the palm rest during such work, or will I be able to keep it on my laps comfortably? I wish such comment would appear during such cpu intensive tests I have an intel-based MBP13 and during summer, even office work makes it nearly unusable as a LAPtop, while sitting on a sofabr2 Screen brightness - seeing contrary information Is the 1000 nit brightness available for SDR content? like mentioned office work? I've seen reviews that for non-HDR content, videos, software, the available brightness is at the same level as other laptops (500)
Comment from : @emtom5080

For $100 more you’d be stupid to buy the Air How is this even a question?
Comment from : @carota-i9v

Which one do you all prefer for just blogging? No media or video editing

Comment from : @AVINASHKUMARHBTU

The pro is just too thick and the 14 inch is too small The 16 inch would just be too heavy and bulky 15 inch Air is the perfect size and weight If they made the 16 inch 2mm thinner I would buy that instead
Comment from : @ohwhatworld5851

I wish there a magnesium alloy chassis macbook air :)

Me watching this on my mid-2015 Macbook Pro Still kicking after almost 10 years!
Comment from : @HeavyPilot83

The Macbook air 15" silver looks terrific !!! Slim and classy 🤩
Comment from : @JorgeO85

Is the MacBook Air enough to do my photo editing on Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop?
Comment from : @stewartongks

Is the keyboard the same size?
Comment from : @emthreepa

We need audio numbers brobrDecibel will be helpfulbrJust getting the feel of thr audio is not enough
Comment from : @kirasninja368

Very helpful reviews! Thanks
Comment from : @Yveliveshere

I think the 15 inch air is a little too expensive since they are 100 dollars apart, the 15 inch air has a lot worse screen, battery life, ports, all that, for me the M4 14 inch pro with its larger battery for 6 hours longer battery life, the display difference is huge also, the pro is 2x as bright at 1000 nits and over 3x for hdr and also having 120htz promotion is huge, i bought the M4 MacBook pro 14 inch, I don’t need a huge 15 inch laptop with a lot worse specs, it’s also around the same weight as the pro, I love the pro so much better, the display difference is shocking and the 120htz, the battery life and way more ports is well worth 100 dollars extra for the same specs for me

Is that macbook pro space black?

waiting for Air on M4
Comment from : @nicolaechihai1784

There is a €330,- difference between the MB Pro 14' M4 and the Air 15' M3 here in Europe That's a $400,- difference!! That makes the choice a lot harder (or easier, if you're leaning towards the Air)
Comment from : @ImagineVideoclips

120hz and a fan would make me buy the air
Comment from : @appletrontech8866

Apple should have put a 16" Macbook M4 base option To get the 16" to shell out a boat load of money
Comment from : @robertbryanlitao347

Hi everyone brI need your opinion regarding my choice of main device for my everyday usage brMy current main device is MacBook Pro M1 and it has "fallen" Unfortunately just before I could resell it ( screen turned black and tech guys said the fan is not working too) br br So that aside, brI am planning to go for MacBook Pro 14 Inch M4 base model USD $1,59900 on Apple store br brHowever I am also wondering If it's "wiser" to get either a br br13 inch ipadPro base model brUSD 1,29900 on Apple store br bror br13‑inch (M3 chip) MacBook air, Base model br$1099 on Apple store bror the future M4 MacBook Air ? br brThing about the MacBook Air is that it has no FAN and well br brWhat I need them for br1 web graphic design - photoshop-illustrator-Figma br2 programming - doing IOT and perhaps AI soon br3 video editing br4 initially audio/music production br brAnother thing is , do you guys agree that we should not wait longer than 3 years from the "launch date of a device", ( in this case, say Windows/Apple ) because the price drop would be huge and we need to take that into consideration if we'd like to to resell our device brbrFor a budget of 1000USD what could be my 2nd device ? preferably Windows OS, light for travelling ( laptop or tablet or 2 in 1 )brbrThanks and happy holidays, happy new year!
Comment from : @nazrain7048

I just can’t buy a laptop without a fan
Comment from : @Sequel7

Get the pro Better resolution, 120 Hz refresh, brighter screen, longer lasting battery, better and deeper sound
Comment from : @briandavenport8971

I bought the m3 air and returned for the m4 pro I love the pro much more I like the extra heft, the color (space black) and the speakers are so so much better so if you make music or love music Also the extra inch on the screen makes a big difference honestly especially when using GarageBand and video editing software I've yet to hear the fan everyone talks about it runs so smooth and is so efficient I haven't overworked it yet I'm so excited for the webcam features too cause I work remotely
Comment from : @bananasandwich15

I would have watched more of your video but I was trying hard to compare the look with 2second clips of them side by side And please try to keep the models in the same display order, say 14" Pro on left, 15" Air on right The swapping and changing was giving me a headache
Comment from : @blackmore_s

As a Graphic Designer i should buy the new Macbook Pro M4 Pro especially if i have to use software like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, right?
Comment from : @gianxx2727

how the f…can you compare a m4 vs a m3 i mean come on youseless
Comment from : @kalelkrypton1

I will be a data scientist or data analyst, so which laptop is better for me m4 pro 16gb or m3 air 24gb Can anyone who have some knowledge on this topic answer me?
Comment from : @tahsin749

2024 and we're still comparing onboard speakers in laptopsbrbrWild
Comment from : @BB-vy6ig

Max in the video is mixing up the M3 Air with the M4 MBP too many times in the video when explaining his comparisons Too much, it's becoming confusing brTop tip: using the words "Air" & "Pro" not only helps the viewer understand better what you're referring to in that particular moment, but also keeps you focused & it'll be easier to spot your own mistakes when narrating
Comment from : @josephfarrugia2350

warum vergleicht er zwei geräre aus zwei völlig unterschiedlichen preisklassen? da wird immer der pro gewinnen

Wait for MacBook Air m4
Comment from : @VitoCorleonepl

❌@maxtechofficial I want to buy a MacBook for my 13 year son - never had an MacBook before What model would you recommend Best Price/Performance ? Don’t want to give him an outdated model also does not need to be a 16” M4 Pro Max with all the bells and whistles ! Looking for ward to everyone’s input - Thanks
Comment from : @FastEddie0204

On the video comparison the MBP was leaking white on white and the MBA was leaking white on black, but the actual image (not the dark areas) looked better on the MBA, look for the houses and the honey itself
Comment from : @Executor009

Why does hardly any Ytuber address the terribly lame pixel refresh times on the MacBook Pro? Especially with the 14 model, the switching time b/w or g/g is about 70ms The digital image content is regenerated every 83ms but the pixel need 8x the time to react
Comment from : @campermate404

Only rich youtubers change their computers every time new models come out, but professional users generally stick with their machines for longer I know illustrators still using intel macs I find my M1 fine it access my 8tb nvme drives faster enough, would I notice the thunderbolt 5 upgrade probably not It's just becoming M numbers lately with no huge difference between them
Comment from : @frazerweb

m4 macbook air is gonna be insane
Comment from : @JulianFernandez

I chose the MacBook Air 13-inch mainly because of its weight If the Pro were just as lightweight, it would have been my choice Considering laptop for mobility, to me, being lightweight is a pro feature
Comment from : @thisISyouish

There’s a reason why 15” was display standard for many years 13, 14 and 16” is a market trick to sell more If Apple only hade 15” on all laptop models there will be zero customers complaining about that
Comment from : @hemmatv1582

I just bought the MacBook Pro 14in with the 24GB RAM and 1TB I would love to see what the difference in performance is compared to the base M4 MacBook 16GB RAM 512 GB
Comment from : @saullopez6942

I think it makes sense to go for the pro, here in UK we have just a £100 difference in both, after some discounts/ deals the m4 pro is costing £1304 and m3 15" air £1205, however with the £100 difference you are getting a newer chip, better speakers, better screen, more ports and a pro laptop
Comment from : @divjotsingh8921

Guys I need to buy a laptop for uni, regular browsing, a bit of coding, and excel word etc Budget is a bit of a concern I was initially considering the m4 pro mbp but now i think its too much But i dont like the idea of buying the m3 air when its a year old Should i go for the m4 mbp or wait for the m4 air
Comment from : @zaidarafath7859

I just picked up a M2 Macbook Air 15” 8gb 512gb for $630 from local market place with 2 years apple care left Planning to sell my M1 Macbook Air 8gb 256gb for $500 Very happy with this 15” Macbook Air
Comment from : @pinakmiku4999

Why no battery comparison this time?
Comment from : @kena50

the air deserves mini led
Comment from : @drakata27

The difference in Europe is 500€ between the Pro and Air
Comment from : @dubseadj

For 100dollar difference of course the 14 pro is the obvious choice But lots of people like me went for updated 16gb ram 13'' inch air on black friday for around 850-899 dollarsbrbr At that price we are talking about 600 difference and the air seems like the way to go
Comment from : @shortyyys

15” is the Goldilocks size so MBA is the move for me 14” is freaking tiny and the 16” pro is a boat anchor, plus Apple forces the extra cores on the 16” which makes it $500 more than the 14” 15” MBP would be amazing

Comment from : @chrisgrigsby4475

With an M4 MacBook Air being predicted sometime after the New Year, the useful shelf life of this video could wind up being only a matter of weeks or months
Comment from : @wingsley

Actually most people are STILL more than fine with the Air performance Problem is, it is too heavy for a thin and lite At 12 Kg it would be an absolute no brainer
Comment from : @gohe3796

The MacBook Air is also way more comfortable to use, as it has much larger edges to rest your elbows on I am still hesitating between the two!
Comment from : @toniixii

Thank you, Max! I was waiting on this video!
Comment from : @CorneliusCreations

The perfect Macbook for me it would be MacBook Pro of 15" i can work with his 14,2" but that extra inch It would perfect instead of great
Comment from : @Alloy0AF

Thank you for helping me making up my mind for MBP
Comment from : @wkz1234

If you consider the 13 inch MacBook air with the same specs which one is the value king? While you also you should mention that most people not going to watch all content in HDR all time even on you tube the are very rare HDR videos except for testing the displays etc
Comment from : @UthayaharanYanushanth

I have the M3 Air My next upgrade will be in 2030
Comment from : @abdinasirmusa8777

What I’d give for the 14” to be 143 like the 15 is 153
Comment from : @mootsym

This years MacBook Pro base model is absolutely awesome No brainer on which one to choose 👍
Comment from : @outandaboutwithcraig3081

MBA 15' M4 24Gb RAM will be a total beast for web dev!
Comment from : @alexbaumgertner

I wonder about the difference in speed between the 512GB and 1TB/2TB SSDs in the M4Pro
Comment from : @AAmuxiaomu

Can you create a video comparing the 14-inch MacBook M4 Pro base variant with the 14-inch MacBook that has the M4 Pro 14-core CPU and 1TB SSD?
Comment from : @sreeharisreelal

Damn, that’s the mic of the mb air?
Comment from : @tonycortez

No reason to buy MBA M3 at that price now when MBP M4 is available
Comment from : @paarkhi

Nobody does PC comparison better than Max Tech especially the speaker, performance, and battery test, very objective!
Comment from : @leonmadara3903

We just bought some 13 inch M3 airs with 16 GB ram for my business at $845 each This is a steal in my opinion
Comment from : @keltonjohnson6197

I’ll just wait until they update the air and you tell us to buy the air
Comment from : @crisantogarcia6646

Waiting to compare the 15 inch m4
Comment from : @Mangold108

when the m4 air?
Comment from : @Mangold108

I totally agree I just the M4 MacBook Pro Love it Great for my projects and viewing movies is absolutely awesome Speakers are great Thanks for a great video!!!
Comment from : @carlosdelacova1943

The real comparisons are going to be:brbrMacBook Pro M4 vs MacBook Pro M3 ProbrbrAnd brbrMacBook Pro M4 vs MacBook Air M4 (when it releases)
Comment from : @trixr4kids693

I went with the air fully upgraded i wish i could get 1 Terabyte SSD as well as 16 GB RAM it doesn't make much since 2 give me double graphics design when games sometimes need 10 on RAM in order to get the best performance i enjoy it just wanting a little more 4 $1,700
Comment from : @christophernewhouse5832

Go Big or Go Home 16 incher M4 PRO
Comment from : @Carmerafe

Thank you for this! My girl and I were in the market for a new MacBook and we were comparing both of them This vid made our choice a lot easier MBP it is!
Comment from : @yoboyryy1715

Stop comparing nonsense Compare the m4 mbp max 32 & 40 gpu!
Comment from : @benlabio8306

Should compare the M4 MBP to an M3 MBA with thermal pads installed
Comment from : @geoffstrickler

Idea: 16GB M4 mac vs 32GB Windows PC
Comment from : @MrPromethium0157

How about the battery life?
Comment from : @atvo2950

It would be interesting to test these laptops in clamshell mode The only time I use my M1 16" Pro as a standalone, is when I was travelling for work Otherwise at home or the office I used it in Clamshell mode with a dock and monitor Im curious to see how thermals would react in this manner? Purportedly the laptops run hotter in clamshell mode? I use TG Pro to control the temperatures
Comment from : @brucesyvertsen2147

Disagree on the sound Air sounds much more natural although it lacks some bass
Comment from : @maxdezigner

How many external monitors can the air handle?
Comment from : @calibrepropertynz

15" Air microphone sounds better than the Pro's
Comment from : @77dris

1:48 Apparantly, the new M4 Macbook Pros uses Quantum-Dots in the panel But Apple clearly doesnt want to be associated with anything Samsung in branding so they dont mention it
Comment from : @EyesOfByes

100$ difference? Get the most base Pro M4 that would be cheaper Or the base Air way more cheap
