So Apple have just announced a brand new M2 Pro and M2 Max chipset for the 14 and 16 inch MacBook
Pro however how does the M1 Max compared to the M2 Max in the 16 inch MacBook Pro well today I'm
going to do a MacBook Pro M2 Max versus the MacBook Pro M1 Max in this review of specs
for you and let's get started right away so then first of all what we have here on the left side
we have the MacBook Pro 16 inch M1 Max and then on the right side we have the MacBook Pro 16 inch M2
Max so this comparison today is going to between both of these chipsets I might make another video
about the new Pro chipset so the M1 Pro versus the M2 Pro but mainly today focusing on the M2
Max and the M1 Max so first of all let's go into the display type so the display type on both of
these MacBook Pros are exactly the same they are identical the main reason is design is exactly the
same on both of these models as you're going to see as we go further on into these sort of
different specs so there is a mini LED Pro motion display this is one of Apple's wrestlers displays
and it's a really really amazing display what you get with that and because this is the 16 inch
MacBook Pro the screen size is on both of these MacBooks are 16.2 inches there are no differences
whatsoever on the screen size you still get that Notch at the top as well nothing is different here
in the actual screen resolution as well nothing has changed whatsoever the screen resolution is
still 3456 by 2234 for both of these MacBook Pros what is an impressive resolution to have on a 16
inch display you'll definitely get some really clear 4K sort of video playback on this especially
with that mini LED technology and basically what this basically means is that the pixels per inch
or the PPI is 254 so in a square inch sort of space basically you're going to getting 254 pixels
inside that or it's really really impressive on such a big display like this so yeah that's gonna
be really really clear for you the display refresh rate is also the pro motion display Pro motion was
introduced first of all with the MacBook Pro with the 14 and 16 inch models in 2021 and we got that
for the first time on the MacBook Pro and the great thing is it's again here for the MacBook
Pro M2 Max and the M2 Pro Models so we get the pro motion display again what's really good to see the
brightness on this are really really good on both of these models again they're identical they're
a thousand nits so that's really really bright so especially if you're working with direct sunlight
hitting your screen it will definitely help out with you seeing the display play much more clearer
in dark lights and also if you're working into the evening as well as it starts to get dimmer
this will really help out too also both of these screens also have true tone technology as well
built into them next of all we have the processor or the CPU and this is where the biggest change is
happening with these MacBook Pros so on the left with the MacBook Pro you have the M1 Max this was
the first sort of Apple silicon with the max name inside it and it was put inside the 14 and 16 inch
MacBook Pros and then later introduced inside the Mac Studio in 2022 and this is a great chipset at
the end of the day what you can get with this you can actually get yourself a 10 core sort of CPU
what is made up of two sort of standard sort of efficiency cores and eight performance cores and
then on top of that as well you also get up to 32 cores on the GPU with the M1 Max but with the
M2 Max things have changed even more we now actually have a 12 core CPU so we have two
additional cores and they are the performance cores so now we have two efficiency cores and
we actually have 10 performance cores was absolutely unbelievable and for the GPU
instead of going up to 32 cores it actually goes up to 38 cores this time so you get an
additional six cores you can choose from for the M2 Max so again the speed is really really fast
but moving on though as you can see here with that I did a geekbench score five for multi-core and
you can see here the M1 Max came back at 11 542 and the M2 Max came at 13 855 and that's around
about a 20 increase in speed over the M2 Max over the M1 Max what you've got to remember though is
compared to say the Intel chipset the I9 or the M1 Max was against that is a had an increase of
around about 100 or so so this time it's only a 20 increase and to be honest this is going to
probably be the way forwards now that we're only going to see incremental increases we're never
going to probably see a sort of 100 increase or 80 increase for a long long time now so probably even
with the M3 Max again we won't expect a massive amount but it'll probably be around about 20 to
say 40 sort of increase in speed in multi-core performer modes but that is the initial geekbench
5 score multi-core score for you but they're moving on to ram ram has changed a bit as well we
now get 32 and 64 gigabytes in the M1 Max but the M2 Max has given us an additional option this time
we get 32 gigabytes 64 gigabytes and the brand new 96 gigabytes of RAM now with the M2 Max what you
can pick up for it it's a really really spec it out for storage nothing really has changed here
for the M1 Max variant of this MacBook Pro you can choose between one terabyte to eight terabytes of
it on the M1 Max and it's identical for the 16 inch MacBook Pro M2 Max 2 you can choose between
one terabyte up to eight terabytes so you can pick this over two terabyte a four terabyte and
of course the eight terabyte model for ports wise again nothing really has changed here we still get
three times USBC ports what our USB 4 ports as well and also Thunderbolt free or 100.4 sort of
ports and then we also got the magsafe connection we have got HDMI but the differences with the HDMI
as well is that we do have an improved of 8K performance out of the M2 Max on the 16 inch
model this time whereas the MacBook Pro 16-inch didn't have that capability so it's really really
cool to see that we also got an SD card slot on both of these models too so it's good to see the
same amount of ports and a few little upgrades especially with HDMI support for operating system
both of these MacBook Pros run the latest Mac OS 13 Ventura and it looks like they'll be able to
run the latest sort of Mac os's for many years to come I'm quite sure that the M1 Max for example
16 inch and 14 inch will probably be able to get upgrades of operating systems for around the next
four to five years whereas the MacBook Pro 16 inch will probably actually get with the M2 Max we'll
probably get updates for a little bit longer for an extra year maybe for battery life they are very
very similar the M1 Max gave us up to 21 hours but to be honest that was more likely to be with the
M1 Pro but with the MacBook Pro 16 inch with the M2 Max or probably more likely the M2 Pro chipset
we get up to 22 hours even the M2 Max though is going to be more efficient than the M1 Max because
the way how the architecture has gone with the chipsets and everything so you will see an Ever So
slight increase in battery life but to be honest you probably won't see it too much but remember
this is up to sort of hours so potentially if you were doing full-on video editing you
probably wouldn't see anything in it between both of these models with battery life for example
for charging wattage they're exactly the same they both charge at 140 watts and that's up
to 140 Watts so you can still plug in say a 60 watt charger if you wanted to and you can get
that with the mag save up to 140 Watts with the fast charging ability on both of these models
moving on to the way to both these MacBook Pros to be honest the M2 Max is a little bit more
heavier than the M1 Max but not much in it in fact they are very very small amounts so it's
still basically 2.1 kilograms for both of the models then moving on then to stereo speakers
so for stereo speakers on both of these models they are got them and they're also spatial audio
as well what is really really cool to see inside them then moving on to Wi-Fi technology Wi-Fi
technology has actually changed ever so slightly with the MacBook Pro 16 inch M2 Max so with the
last Model we actually got Wi-Fi 6 whereas the brand new M2 Max and M2 Pro on the 14 and 16
models actually get Wi-Fi 6E this time round so some slight improvements there then for webcam
both of them have a single lens inside that Notch at the top what is a 1080p camera inside it a face
time camera so basically nothing has changed here whatsoever on that then the actual prices
actually have changed a bit here too so both these models for the M1 Max models and the M2 Max model
and this was the Baseline model that you could buy for them started with a one terabyte sort of
hard drive inside it and also 32 gigabytes of RAM came in at 3299 US dollars for the MacBook Pro 16
inch M1 Max but for the MacBook Pro 16 inch M2 Max it's actually 200 more and this is mainly
probably due to inflation I would actually put this down too so basically it is going to cost
you 200 more for that but then moving on to Colors the colors are identical for both of these models
you can either get it in silver or you can get it in space gray unfortunately no midnight color
this time round so with that in mind guys will you be buying a new Macbook Book Pro
so as you can see guys really apart from sort of under the hood enhancements like with chipset and
also some changes to the RAM for example there isn't that much difference between the M1 Max
and the M2 Max like I just said it's just this underhood enhancements and they're only a little
bit more as you can see if you can still get yourself a really good deal on an M1 Max 14 or 16
inch MacBook Pro it's definitely worth hunting out one of them because they're still great in 2023
and will be for many years to come but there was no sort of problems in ordering yourself the brand
new M2 Max chipset either because at the end of the day it is the best of the best but apart from
that overall sort of design everything else like that is exactly the same there is no differences
there whatsoever and based on that guys it's also time to wrap up this video so if you have enjoyed
