More than anything, the speakers are great. Do you want to listen? At some point, hip hop started to be uncool. [ITSub has it all]. [ITSub loves gadgets / ITSub has it all].
Hello, it's ITSub. I posted a video before, right? The unboxing of the M1 Pro MacBook. I purchased it internationally
but it's being sold in Korea now. I checked my purchase date for this,
and it's been about a month. [Review after 1 month of using
M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch]. Let me share my thoughts on it. Looking back on the past year,
in terms of compatibility, there weren't any big issues in actual use. Because Apple's Rosetta was really good. Of course, not everything was perfectly compatible. Because M1's performance is so good, a lot of companies started to release programs
that were suitable for Apple silicone. The way I'm using it, there isn't a big difference between
Intel Mac and ARM Mac.

First, the best thing I found... The speakers are magic. This goes for all MacBooks.
16-inch MacBook Pro with Intel processor or M1 MacBook Air; they all have great speakers
compared to similar products. But the speakers on this
M1 Pro M1 Max MacBook Pro; this might be excessive but,
it's enough to pee myself. I was using the 16-inch and downsized to the 14-inch. Because of the physical size difference, 16-inch inevitably has to be better. But with the 14-inch MacBook Pro
that I've been using, [Legendary speakers].
I was thinking,
How can this size produce this sound? I presume that the 16-inch MacBook Pro
has even better sound than this. But even on the 14-inch, you can increase the volume to the greatest level,
and it still doesn't distort. Simply put, the mid-range sounds very full. I don't even use the MacBook Pro
as my main gadget.

I need Windows as well, so I also use Galaxy Book Pro 360. [MacBook Pro 14-inch] [Galaxy Book Pro 360 13-inch] [MacBook Air 13-inch]. It's not just the Galaxy Book; all Windows laptops need to do better. If Windows laptops price above 3 million won, there are some good products. But in general, most laptops don't have great speakers. I only wish Windows laptop speakers could be half as good as the ones here. Next up is the display. [MacBook Pro 14-inch / MacBook Pro 16-inch]. Overall, the laptop has been designed to look thicker, so it appears fat. Maybe that's why, but there are a lot of opinions about whether it's better or worse. In my opinion, design-wise, I feel like it's been worsened. [This looks so ugly after looking at the MacBook Air]. One good thing is [MacBook Pro 14-inch / MacBook Pro 16-inch] that the display part also got thicker.

At first, I thought it looked really ugly. [MacBook Pro 14-inch / MacBook Pro 16-inch]. But over time, I could see why Apple did this. Because if you grab earlier MacBooks like this, the screen is really thin and soft. Since this is thicker, it doesn't make you worry that the display might get ruined in anyway. It looks really sturdy. And the biggest hype about this MacBook, was the notch. Mind you, this is a laptop, not an iPhone. When this was first revealed, there was a lot of backlash on the appearance. Let me tell you the conclusion first. As I used it, the notch here isn't actually that bad. Unlike Windows, the taskbar isn't at the bottom of the screen. It's at the top. The notch is located in the middle of that taskbar so for me, it wasn't too much of an eyesore. Or maybe I've been brainwashed? But there is a downside to the notch.

It's a problem of inconvenience rather than disruption. Because of this notch, you can't properly see the widgets on the right side of this 14-inch display. That was the most uncomfortable part of the notch. Even now, my widgets... They're icons, not widgets. But you can see that it's really full right now. I'm not even using all the widgets that I used on the Intel Mac. I got rid of as many as I possibly could, and you can see it's still packed full. When I use macOS, there are a lot of apps that I use. I can't let this go. I also purchased and use something called iStat Menu. I didn't even turn on everything. I want to turn on sensor or memory, things like that. If I turn this on, I should get one more icon here, but I can't see it because of the notch. Is there no solution for this? There is. Under Display, you can press Extra Space.

and the icons will get smaller to create more space. On the 14-inch, using Extra Space makes the screen pretty small. So I just use it with the default settings. It's not the appearance of the notch that's frustrating. The fact that it covers areas of the screen and prevents me from utilizing that space... This might not be a big problem with the 16-inch. But for people using the 14-inch,
I think it'll be inconvenient. Anyway, I talked a lot about the notch. If you look at the display quality, it's quite good. This has the Mini-LED. [MacBook Pro 14-inch / MacBook Pro 16-inch]
Out of all the ones I've seen, this feels like the most high-quality laptop display. And the promotion display performs really smoothly, so the user experience is great overall. However, it's not a product made for gaming like Windows. So I couldn't really feel the benefit
of the promotion display.

Compared to other laptops, it does function a lot smoother. But it's not like you can play games with amazing graphics on this. And it's not like YouTube has videos in 120Hz. When I first used it, I thought, Wow, it's so smooth. But in reality, I don't really feel it. Also, when I'm at home or in the studio, I connect it to a monitor and use it in clamshell mode. That monitor is 60Hz and this screen is 120Hz. I can really feel the difference on a smartphone, but for this, I can't really tell. The funny thing is there are two presets in the display settings. By default, Apple XDR Display, DCI-P3 with 1600nit, and something with 500nit. The color isn't too different between these. The difference is in maximum brightness and whether it supports expanded dynamic range or not. If you're using this and it's too bright,

then you can lower it and use this. I think that's what the presets are for. And now, the keyboard. One thing that's changed
from the earlier MacBook Pro is that the touchbar at the top is gone. I like new tech, so I really liked the touchbar
when it first came out, and I found it useful. But after using this for a month, I'm really satisfied with the use of the keyboard. The touchbar was pretty small,
so I didn't like the hard feeling when I pressed it with my finger. And the touchbar was also a display, so it got hot. This can just be pushed physically, so it feels a lot more satisfactory. And the part I especially liked [MacBook Pro 14-inch / MacBook Pro 16-inch]
was that the TouchID is bigger than before. The accuracy is also better, so I like that. However, I felt like there was a downgrade in design. The keyboard in this middle section isn't made of separate parts; it's a whole.

Only the inner parts are black with anodizing, but because the keypad is black, it feels more like an HP laptop than Apple. There's a downside. The laptop is thicker, and the rubber pads here are also thicker. So when you put it down, overall, the height is higher. So when you place your wrists over it, the position of your wrists also move up. So there's a bit more strain on your wrists. MacBook Air was the best in these aspects. And let's talk about the controversial MagSafe charger. When this first came out, I really liked it because when you're in a library or something, and if have this plugged in with the magnet, if somebody were to trip over your cable, the cable would just pop out. The advantage was that it could keep your laptop safe. With the touchbar on MacBook Pro, they got rid of this but it's back now. So a lot of people were excited for the return. But I'm against it.

When this was highly praised,
USB-C didn't exist. So I thought, Wow, it's magnetic. It's comfortable. But now, it feels unnecessary to charge like this. Because with USB-C, there are a lot of USB-PD chargers now. And because USB-C is so convenient, I find it much more convenient to charge with USB-C rather than the MagSafe cable. In order to use MagSafe, you have to carry around a separate charger for charging purposes. But with USB-C, you can use it
for charging and data transfer. It's convenient because you can just carry one multi-functional cable with you. And nowadays, there are a lot of monitors
that support Thunderbolt or PD charging. If you use this, you can charge on both the right and left side. There are a lot of advantages so I ended up not using the MagSafe. As I was using it, I thought it might be better to remove MagSafe
and provide an additional USB-C instead.

Next is performance. To be honest, this is the reason the review was delayed. I placed a request with Apple to rent the higher-level model, M1 Max. So I was going to do the review once I had that, but the renting is taking a while. Once I get it, I'll do an in-depth review on M1 Max & M1 Pro performance. Today, I'll just cover things that I felt while using it. First of all, having used M1 for the past year, I was most curious about how improved task performance would be. In summary, performance is 5G, and it's amazing. Compared to Intel, M1 was slightly lagging in terms of core count, multi-functioning, and graphics. But the cooling, battery, and quietness made up for those faults. Now, it feels like they've solved all of those issues. First of all, this is something I discussed in the previous MacBook Air M1 review.

I said that I couldn't edit a video on Final Cut Pro X while simultaneously creating a thumbnail on Photoshop. It was possible, but because the lag was so bad, it was pretty much impossible. Because the multi-core performance was poor, I thought M1 was lagging behind in these areas. But with the M1 Pro, I was able to perform that task smoothly, without any issues. So now, multi-core instead of single-core... Performance improved with the increase core count, and you can run multiple tasks without many problems. There isn't even any buffering. Secondly, you can't really run a game on macOS, but legendary games like LOL have macOS versions now. On MacBook Air M1, I couldn't run LOL, Auto Chess, and Netflix together because of the buffering. If you play a game, you can only play the game. If you watch Netflix, you can only watch Netflix. You couldn't do anything simultaneously. Even if you could run LOL on M1,

it really doesn't make you want to play games on it. But with the M1 Pro, this also runs very smoothly. Third, I felt that the performance
really improved in video editing as well. The video source that we film in our studio... 4K 10bit 4:2:2 videos. And 3 cameras. It was possible to edit on the MacBook Air M1, but without using a proxy,
you couldn't edit smoothly. Even on the Windows computer
that we are currently using, AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, and i9-12900K, without using a proxy, we weren't able to do a smooth preview like this. However, on the M1 Pro,
the graphic performance has improved. And maybe because of the media accelerator, even without the proxy... Can you see? It's in proxy mode right now. Even if we switch to original mode, there's no buffering in the preview, and we can work with the source as is.

So I started getting confused here. Am I working with the original or the proxy? I had to crosscheck a lot while having these thoughts. In the end, there was no difference. Even editing in original mode, the preview ran smoothly. Those you that edit videos will know that the source itself is heavy.
So if you work with 3 cameras, it's hard to work this smoothly on a typical Windows PC. I'll compare the information on the processor's bench data once I have access to the M1 Max. I'm sure YouTubers and people that work with videos will want to know the actual task performance of M1 Pro. In my opinion, if the video source is FHD, you might not even need M1 Pro. You could be good with M1. But if you're working above 10bit or 4K, then you'll be able to feel a big difference in performance with the M1 Pro. Even if you purchase a high-functioning desktop.

when you use preview or export videos, it's not a great experience. So I used to upgrade
whenever an upgrade was available. But with this, even though
there's a higher-level M1 Max, I'm very satisfied with the M1 pro. Of course, when I use the M1 Max, I don't think there will be
a notable difference when working. There may be a bit of a speed difference in rendering. I think it's interesting that M1 Pro is enough for even studios like us. [Why am I sad that I don't need an upgrade?]
This feels a little strange. Along with performance, we have to talk about heating and noise. This part is actually a bit of a twist. With the M1 MacBook Air,
it was really low heat and low noise. So I was really, really satisfied with it. This one, however, feels completely the opposite. Maybe because of the size, but M1 Pro MacBook Pro heats as much as the Intel MacBook Pro.

So heating has increased as much as performance has. Of course, when you're running normal tasks, it's close to no heat, no noise. [MacBook Pro 16-inch, MacBook Pro 14-inch]. But when you're working with videos, it got really hot like the Intel MacBook. [Even so, M1 Pro's maximum heat while running video tasks was 5 degrees lower]. In regards to noise, I felt there was improvement. Because with Intel MacBook Pro, 16-inch, working with videos and especially with rendering, the noise is like an airplane taking off. Even though this heats up a lot, [[MacBook Pro 16-inch] [MacBook Pro 14-inch], as long as you're not in a really quiet place, like a library, in a typical environment, it barely feels like the fan is on. This was really interesting. Next, battery. I love this part too. Right now at 92%, it says there's 10 hours and 34 minutes left.

The interesting thing about this... There was a day that I was out for meetings all day. I fully charged this, and I used it at 50% brightness. Starting at 9 am, I had the screen on and used internet and took notes. I had it on till about 7 pm. I remember that I had more than 50% battery left. Of course, I only ran light tasks. If I had been working on videos on the Intel Mac, it wouldn't have lasted 2-3 hours. But this lasts at least 5-7 hours. That's the kind of battery it has. So if you're just using it for normal tasks, not videos, even if I'm being conservative, I think you could use it for more than 10 hours. Lastly, as I was using it... And this may just be me. I felt like there was a bit of a Wi-Fi issue with this product. Even though I was using it in the same spot.

I didn't have this problem with MacBook Air M1 at all. Even though it was connected to Wi-Fi, this repeatedly performed poorly in download and upload speed. Even though I'm using a famous router from Linksys and frequently optimize the channels, I still feel like the Wi-Fi on this product is strange. Honestly, with M1 Pro's improvement in performance, I wanted to do an in-depth review focusing on performance, but I'm still waiting on the M1 Max. So I've just shared my user experience today. I'll come back to the performance when the M1 Max finally arrives. In conclusion, I'm pretty satisfied with the M1 Pro MacBook Pro. The heating and thickness are a bit disappointing. The earlier Intel MacBook Pro had good build quality too. But with the M1 Pro, there's great improvement in terms of battery and noise, so I think that makes it more satisfying. With the M1 Pro, I had high hopes that the weight would be reduced.

There wasn't any improvement there, so that's the biggest disappointment for me. Anyway, that's it for today. A lot of you commented on my previous laptop videos. In the video about purchasing a gaming laptop, there was a lot of talk about how legendary M1 is. If you're like me and work with videos or you use macOS, then M1 is good enough that you wouldn't even look at a Windows laptop. But if you don't really use macOS... I've said this many times, but no matter how good M1 is, it's still not better than products like Gram. And let me brag a bit. I decorated my gaming room. Nice!
