hi i mean they essentially killed their current generation intel models
if you're even thinking buying one of those like don't here we are at it again it's 4am
ipad pro is broken let's uh try to make a good video this time all right
okay so last week i did a video comparing the mac mini to my nearly nine thousand dollar
mac pro boy did you guys have a lot to say about it in the comments now in this video
it's not going to be a versus in the sense of you know can this computer replace my mac pro
because as hundreds of you pointed out a computer that costs an eighth or nearly 10th the price of
your main machine probably isn't going to replace it so i thought it'd be interesting to see if the
m1 macbook pro could be a good companion to my nearly nine thousand dollar mac
pro
this video is going to be primarily focused on video editing but towards the end of the
week i'm going to be releasing a day in the life of the 13-inch macbook pro
m1 where i showcase all things battery life productivity apps basically just an everyday use
so that's gonna be the most real world scenario of how this computer holds up and so definitely make
sure you're subscribed so you can be notified when that video comes out so if i could reach
through the screen right now to you holding both the mac pro and the macbook pro which one
would you prefer to have and which do you think would better suit your needs hit the like button
for the macbook pro and comment down below and tell me why for the mac pro and also let's see
if your answer changes by the end of this video alright so let's check out the competition here
in this corner we have the 13-inch macbook pro m1 this is the base model with an eight core cpu
and gpu eight gigs of unified ram and 512 gigs of upgraded storage now in the other corner we
have my 2019 mac pro this also is the base model 8 core cpu and has a combined 24 gigs of graphics
power between the 580x and the w5700x from apple it houses 160 gigs of ram a 256 gig internal ssd
and a added in 2 terabyte nvme ssd i have eight thunderbolt three two usb type a a headphone
jack three hdmi 2.0 ports and two 10 gig ethernet ports and of course everything internally fully
customizable and upgradable in the future and on the macbook pro we have two thunderbolt 3 ports
oh and a headphone jack can't forget the headphone jack alright so let's talk performance
and real quick we're going to start off with the mac pro because we've talked about this before
now in order for this to be a true companion app i didn't want to dumb down projects i don't want to
be like oh this is a project that i can do on the laptop while the bigger project works on the main
machine i want something that i can you know maybe start on my mac pro and then oh i have
to travel or i'm just going out for the day or i just want to change scenery and go outside
and edit for a bit so i can throw it on my t5 ssd plug it in and have no problems the way i have my
mac pro set up i can with ease edit all of my 6k q5 or q0 raw files from my blackmagic pocket 6k
set up on full 6k timelines playing back with color grades noise reduction multiple
layers of video and sound design without any real problems export times are usually around
20 to 30 minutes for the average like 13 minute 6k youtube file and i have no problems multitasking
having photoshop open to work on the thumbnails while a video is being rendered out all of these
tasks leave plenty of room in both the ram gpu and cpu again for my setup the only project that i've
worked on that really kind of pushes it to the max is what i showed off in the last video which was a
music video with about 11 layers of red ak helium footage so now let's talk about the performance of
the macbook pro in comparison so plugging in the same project that i set up on my mac pro
scrubbing through the timeline is surprisingly really easy i honestly thought it reverted back
to a 1080p timeline but nope this is the full 6k timeline that i'm scrubbing through and it's doing
fantastic and that brings us to our next point the only way i can get consistent playback on the 6k
timeline is if i turn off all of the color grading including the noise reduction which honestly is
still very impressive if i want to keep the color grade on and watch it back hitting the real time
at 24 fps i'm gonna need to go in and change my timeline resolution or just create optimized media
like proxies or render out the cache both of which are perfectly fine options just going to
take a little bit more time when i first started testing here i literally you know started editing
for about 10 minutes just adding some clips moving things around seeing how it felt and then i
started doing an export and i got about 15 of the way through before i stopped it just because i was
done seeing how i was performing and the battery did not drop a single percent usually on a laptop
if i even open an editing program you're down like three percent just there and if you actually start
editing hefty files you hear the fans start to spin up and you got maybe like 45 minutes or an
hour but this thing is amazing i'm gonna dive way deeper into the battery life in the full day in
the life review that will come at the end of the week because i want to see some more consistency
with the battery life before i give my definite opinion on it and that leads us to exporting
and multitasking now export times on this computer understandably are a lot slower where my mac pro
renders out in around 20 minutes or so this guy is looking at around an hour 45 to 2 hours it could
be a little bit faster or slower depending on what you're doing but what i wanted to check out is if
i set it up to render in the background again this 6k timeline i was fully able to open up a photo
editor mess around with that open up youtube watch a video and the user interface just continues
to be snappy now when i check back on resolve just like i did with the mac mini i did notice it start
to slow down even more and basically allocate resources to the new tasks that i was doing which
is going to slow down the render times and this is where having that 16 gig model i think definitely
would show a decent amount of performance boost and so if you are doing tasks like i'm showing
off here i really think that 16 gig is definitely probably going to be worth the extra 200 bucks
in the long run but overall performance of this computer honestly like i i'm kind of in love can
the base model macbook pro 13-inch m1 be a great companion laptop to a 9 000 mac pro
yeah this thing is awesome once again i have to give kudos to apple for not only creating an
awesome computer but really keeping the price points competitive i mean they essentially
killed their current generation intel models if you're even thinking buying one of those like
don't and so while i am genuinely impressed by the performance of this computer there is
still a reason and a market for computers like the macro and just because you may not be that market
doesn't make it a dumb purchase or dumb machine again thanks for watching guys a
