- What's going on, guys?
Welcome back to a new video.
We have to talk about something.
We have to talk about Apple M1.
All right, so I've been using
the 13-inch baseline MacBook Pro M1 for a month now.
This is my 2019 fully maxed-out 16-inch MacBook Pro.
I can't even wrap my head around the performance
that I have been experiencing,
but before we get started,
I wanna say thank you so much to CleanMyMac
for sponsoring this video.
I have been using their product for years now.
My sister told me about this forever ago
and I use it every single day.
And it's extremely appropriate because I wanna talk
about how this base level 256 gig MacBook Pro is
what I'm gonna choose over an eight terabyte
fully maxed-out MacBook Pro.
Since this does have very, very minimal storage,
I definitely have been using the CleanMyMac software
every single day because basically,
a lot of video files take up a lot of storage.
Even though I've been using external drives,
it doesn't really matter.
Somehow this still gets really, really full.
So CleanMyMac X is great because it's an all-in-one cleaning
and optimizing software for your Mac.
The one thing about computers is
there's a lot of old clutter and a lot of old files
that are just sitting there and taking up space.
And this software frees up so much space
and makes your device run like new.
Smart Scan also does a quick malware check
and can run some optimization tasks to speed up your Mac.
And the best part is that all of these
only take a couple of seconds.
So one of the features that I use the most is
the Large and Old Files Scan,
only because video files and Final Cut projects
take up a lot of space and it really sneaks up on you.
So I'm going through and I'm manually selecting.
Hit Remove and it's deleting.
(bell dinging) Okay,
it just deleted 136 gigs.
And that's more than half of the storage
that I have available on this computer.
Also here with the Optimization,
we can manage the list of applications
that automatically get opened.
None of these need to open.
We also have the Maintenance,
the Uninstaller so you can uninstall any applications
that you might not want or need.
So I think you guys get the point.
This is something that I swear on.
This is something that I use every single day
and I promise you that if you are a Mac user,
you will not regret it.
It's going to speed up your computer.
And you're gonna find files where you're like,
I had no idea this even existed.
So if you do want some more information
or you wanna check it out,
there's a link in the description you guys can download.
And now that we have more space on our M1 MacBook Pro,
let's talk about it.
So going back to using the Intel MacBook Pro,
I don't think you guys understand how loud this is.
I mean, you might understand.
You might have seen me complain about it many, many times,
but I wanna give you guys a demonstration of Final Cut.
So this is just a little tiny Samsung solid-state drive
that I've been using.
But what I wanna do is I wanna open up Final Cut.
I'm opening up the same file on Final Cut.
So I'm just gonna do a little exporting test.
I have the exact same Final Cut file
on this computer and this computer.
The only difference is that this is
actually working off a solid-state drive.
So it kind of gives it probably a disadvantage,
where this is native,
but I wanna show you the difference between the fan noises.
And what I'm gonna do is I'm going to send both
of these files to compressor.
Okay, here we go, start.
Another thing that's kind of a bummer is
how hot the Intel MacBooks get.
There's actually times that this has burned me.
If it's compressing or if I just have
way too many things open, this gets so hot.
And I just don't think that that's ideal
for any type of MacBook situation.
Okay, the fan is running.
I'm gonna take off my microphone
and you can hear the difference
between these two MacBook Pros, one with Intel,
and one with the M1, and how loud this is.
(fan whirring)
Okay.
Going to put this down here.
I can still hear it.
I can still hear the other one.
Oh my god, I gotta put it in a whole different room.
It's so loud.
All right, and here is the M1, doing the exact same thing.
It's silent.
Now, this wasn't a very official test.
Obviously there's different variables,
but you guys heard how loud that fan is.
So this I think is my favorite M1 story.
I was trying to do Zoom calls,
which were being recorded on both sides,
my side as well as the brand side,
this is for a sponsored project.
Like probably the biggest project I've ever done.
And I was like, oh, I need this to be professional.
And I wasn't able to fly to where they were shooting.
So I had to do it here, all myself in my office.
So what needed to happen was I needed to have Zoom,
as well as my camera with the cam link
so that I could have a professional camera
while also having this attached to a bigger monitor.
I was using the 16-inch Intel MacBook Pro,
and it was so loud and so distracting with the fans
because you could hear it, you could hear the fan.
I'm like, there's no way that this is gonna work.
So I switched to the M1.
I was doing Zoom.
I was running the cam link.
I had open PowerPoint.
I had open so many things and for five hours,
I never once heard a fan.
Honestly, my $8,000 MacBook Pro was unusable
because I couldn't use it unless I had it
in a different room, but I'm like, I need it in my room.
Until I've used this M1 MacBook over the past month,
I didn't realize how distracting
the fans are in the Intel Macs.
While we're actually talking about sounds, Big Sur,
I wanna talk about Big Sur for a little bit.
I am obsessed
with the Big Sur sounds.
Okay, this is my favorite one.
The trash sound. (knocking)
(whooshing) Like the undo button,
It's such a simple little sound.
All of the little sound effects are so cool.
What else is really cool about Apple M1 is
that you can now use iPadOS as well as iOS apps.
And I have been having a very fun time with Nanoleaf.
So these are the Nanoleaf ones that I have in the corner.
I can kind of just change them by hitting this app
and changing the colors, which is an iOS app,
but I'm using it on my M1.
I'm also really surprised I haven't
had any issues with Big Sur.
This feels like it's been one
of the smoother software updates.
Also, Photoshop, Lightroom have
all been running really great.
Obviously, this is the Intel version running on M1,
and it runs perfectly fine.
My only complaint that I do wish
it was a little bit brighter.
The screen is pretty bright,
but it's not as bright as I would like.
I actually wanna do a comparison to see price-wise,
the difference between my maxed-out device and this.
I put both of these items in my cart
to kind of compare the price difference.
So right here for the 13-inch MacBook Pro M1,
it's coming out at 1299.
And for my MacBook Pro fully maxed-out, around 6,700.
Now, don't forget about taxes, taxes for me,
it was adding like 10%.
So as you can see, there is a huge difference of price.
And I've been using these little solid-state drives.
I think these are like $250 for two terabytes.
And if I were to pick one MacBook to take with me,
even though this is the base level performance-wise,
I'm gonna take the M1.
Now, I also wanna say that obviously,
things work differently depending
on what programs you're using.
For me, I'm basically using Final Cut a lot
and that is a product of Apple.
So obviously it's going to work better with M1.
Yes, I have heard that Premiere doesn't work so well.
I don't even know how to download Premiere.
That's a lie, I know how to download Premiere.
With that also being said,
the fact that I've never once heard a fan
in this MacBook blows my mind.
Let's go get the noisy, the noisy computer.
So the book completed.
This completed at 13 minutes, 29 seconds.
This conpleted at 15 minutes, 10 seconds.
Really not that much of a difference.
This has 64 gigs of memory,
and this has eight gigs of memory.
And this sounded like it was going to take off
in a spaceship the whole time.
So that's just how I've been using the M1 in the past month.
It really has been a game-changer for me.
Also, I know this video is sponsored by CleanMyMac,
but I just, I love them so much.
So thank you to them for sponsoring this video.
And it really has been making my life on M1
with only 256 gigs of storage basically possible
because I'm constantly getting rid of things I don't need.
And even though I am working off of solid-state drives,
it's still gets really, really full very, very quickly.
Anyway, thank you guys so much for watching this video.
Like I said, there's a link in the description
if you want to check out CleanMyMac.
Let me know what you guys think.
Are you on board the M1?
What do you think is next for Apple?
I didn't even talk about those,
but I did post a video if you wanna check that out as well.
I will see you guys again soon.
Make sure you subscribe, goodbye.
Oh, now you're quiet.
Now that the video is over, I'm shaking my head.
(upbeat music)
