We have here a brand new 14 inch macbook pro with an m1 pro chipset inside air but how well
does office 365 or microsoft office work on this macbook pro well today let's find out
Hi Guys it's Matt here, so that's right i've got here a 14 inch macbook pro and inside it's got an
m1 pro chipset inside it it's the 10 core variety so this has got the two efficiency
cores eight performance core 16 core gpu and also 16 gigabytes of ram inside this machine
so today i'm going to be demoing kind of microsoft office or microsoft office 365 on this machine
we're going to be testing out the likes of say word powerpoint excel even things like onenote and
microsoft edge and onedrive and after this i'm also going to be demoing some of the kind of
apple equivalent of microsoft office and this is going to be like pages and numbers
and keynote on this machine and see how well it performs well let's get started and first of all
let's go over to my kind of main screen recording on this macbook pro
to give you a better view so i'm just going to quickly show you here quickly what mac
i'm on so i want a macbook pro 14 inch and it's got the apple m1 pro inside it and this is the
standard uh m1 pro chipset the 10 core cpu and the 16 core gpu inside and there's 16 gigabytes of ram
so let's get started then with word first of all so i'm just going to open this up
now it'll take a little bit longer because it's the first time it's ever opening up so it always
takes a little bit longer but there we go so here i am in word and let's just say i want to open up
this template here let's say this quick cv one here so it's pretty cool and i've just actually
noticed something as well i was gonna get rid of that linkedin thing the actual notch here i don't
know actually my mouse is going behind the notch but you bet i could probably see my mouse there
that's quite clever actually so the notch when you put your mouse behind it actually still
records it as a full screen you can't actually see the notch here but anyway enough of that
so as you can see here is very very microsofty and very traditionally in this sort of template
you can see we can flick around on the different sort of things there's no problems loading any
of these ribbon items whatsoever but we can change any of this so let's say skills
explain what you're specifically good at i am good with max let's just say that for example
so you can see we can do that if i can actually spell max correctly um we can actually like change
the font here if i go back to the home we can make a bit larger let's actually change it to
a different style let's just say we're going to have it as roboto there and a little bit larger
and i'm also going to have it say underlined as well so you can see it's really really snappy
it's really really quick and good this is fantastic word is and like i said you can
fit around all the different options at the top there's no problems there whatsoever on this m1
pro so why that's open there i'm going to actually open up excel next of all i'm going to keep this
word open i'm going to open as many as i can just to show you guys that it's really really capable
of it so excel's taking a little longer there but let's say i'm gonna do a totals list uh we've got
items here let's think of some items let's call let's invent something here let's call something
the i boat there we go that's what tim cook's going to talk about next year and he's going to
also talk about the i car a lot of us been wanting to see about that and also the i
plane let's say we got them as well they're pretty cheap as well let's say i want to make the eye
boat about let's say seven thousand dollars it's only a little rowing boat of the car let's make
that uh let's say it's ten thousand there um so yeah that's a nice cheap car on the plane a little
bit more let's say fifty thousand you know or five hundred thousand that's more like it isn't it for
a plane but you can see the totals are working absolutely fine we've got the different sort of
layouts and things we can change the theme if we wanted to so let's say i wanted to do the sort of
depth one there we go it's applied straight away change my colors around i can do anything i want
i can even put a background in if i want to do the formulas data review you get the idea the ribbon
again is super quick and snappy here there are no problems whatsoever i can even insert a new row if
i wanted to there it's just super quick you know excel again with word open there are no problems
here let's open up powerpoint then next of all and let's see how well powerpuff works and i'm
quite sure it will work pretty fine now um let's have a look let's go to this madison one here
and let's call this uh subtitle what should we call it let's call it the i boat again and this i
boat presentation is gonna be by one no other than tim cook so we can do that and then what we can do
is let's say let's put a picture and haven't done that yeah everyone puts a picture in this so let's
get it from stop images here and while that loads let's have a look for a boat let's have a look
at what my eye boat's gonna look like it's gonna look like that there so i'm gonna insert that in
voila uh a bit big don't want it there i want it probably a bit more over here and you can see here
it's already starting to think themes of things i really like that one that was pretty cool they got
in my boat there and yeah it looks absolutely fantastic and we can even go into presentation
mode there we go looks absolutely fine and uh yeah it's really really really good we've got all the
different options at the top here no problems at all everything's nice it's super snappy and fast
there's not gonna be any problems there at all next we've got outlook and this is probably my
outlook with all my emails in it so be warned there's gonna be some strange emails coming up
probably but let's get that open there and then let's just say for example i'm going to go to
my flagged emails for example let's say i'm going to do a new message for example so i can send out
new messages if i wanted to so that's no problems either so next of all let's move on to next i'm
going to minimize that one down we're going to go to microsoft edge so in fact actually i'm going
to keep that open actually let's get edge over the top of it there so this is microsoft edges
their own kind of browser out there it's pretty good to be honest it's been optimized for the
m1 processors out there so the m1 m1 pro m1 max so it's not running on rosetta 2 it fully works
but let's say for example i wanted to go to ebay i can do that let's say i want to go to apple
and let's have a look let's have a look i know what we can look at let's have a look at some new
macbooks because there are some new ones out believe it or not like this one here so yeah
everything just seems to be working absolutely fine and edge here nice and snappy we've got
that open i want to open a few more tabs as well i'm going to get that microsoft office because
that's what we're in let's open up linkedin uh what's that is amazon assistant or something
amazon assistant yeah and then let's have a look uh booking.com is always a good website as well
so yeah this seems to be absolutely fine here so that's really really cool let's open up onenote
next of all so i'm going to open this one up so we've got a few tabs open there we've
got all these other apps open and uh yeah let's have a look uh i've done here macbook pro test
two let's call it love office on the m1 pro and then one max let's say we want to insert a picture
for example we can do that i don't actually have any pictures because mac actually i just thought
of that but you get the idea i can draw a table in if i wanted to there and everything that seems
absolutely fine as well and finally what we have got is we've got one drive it just opened
up straight away on my finder here it's just a little shortcut you could open it up just in the
finder so i just clicked on finder there and go to onedrive that way as well so that looks absolutely
cool so you've got all these different apps open like i said and then finally what you can also do
is open up um apple's own version so these ones here this is the office suite with office 365
so you do actually have to pay for them if i flick around them look so we can flick and they load
instantly there's no problems whatsoever there but what i will say is that you do have to pay for
the office suite for a yearly rate or monthly rate whatever it is but you can actually get you um the
apple version of word excel and powerpoint and this down here you've got pages to start with and
this is basically equivalent of word and you can actually save things as a word document as well so
if i click a new document let's say this one here a contemporary report click create on that one
there i can actually save it as a word document so if i export it to there we go word so it works no
problems whatsoever you can actually make it into a word document and then same with numbers as well
so numbers is basically the excel equivalent so let's say i want to make a new document there
i want to do this simple budget for example so again we can do everything we can change the
colors we can change the charts all of the options are at the top here a bit more differently how
it's laid out to your traditional kind of office but you can see i can change all my colors around
if i wanted to do that and there we go more options there i'm going to go with a bit more
darker and playlist actually i like it bright but you get your idea there's that and then finally
you've got keynote now quickly we'll say as well with word numbers and keynote you can also insert
powerpoint files ppt's whatever they're called word documents the doc files and you can also um
insert the excel file as well there's no problem doing that i'm going to click the turtle one here
so if you've got for example office somewhere else and you've only got these three at home because
they're free you can just use them absolutely fine where's the turtle there's no turtle
that's a bit of a shame but you get the idea we can change it around let's call it turtle actually
and then we can actually save it as well as we can save as and just to show you guys here you can go
to keynote um you can stick it wherever you want to stick it and you can save it as its own kind of
sort of document or anywhere you want to but like i said you can also export it to a powerpoint file
as well and you can reopen it as a powerpoint file and it will continue to keep saving that so if
i did open it and i kept clicking save it won't save it as the kind of um keynote file save it
keep saving it as the actual powerpoint file so do remember that as well so that is pretty
cool so yeah there are a lot of options there and like i said i've got all of these things open here
apart from onedrive because like i said that's just a shortcut to the finder but there has been
no problems with flicking around between all the different ways here and numbers key pages and that
the actual office suite is absolutely fantastic and remember on the edge for example i've got all
those tabs open everything is super snappy you're not going to have any problems here whatsoever
running office and also the apple version of office on your m1 pro or your m1 max
well then guys there we go you can see that microsoft office suite for the mac works perfectly
fine on this macbook pro along with those kind of mac os kind of equivalent kind of apps like
pages numbers and keynote as well there's going to be no problems running it on this machine so
yeah if you want to get one and you want to get office there's going to be no problems for you
