Congrats on being added to the roster. Best of luck to you and your team.

Crazy how mkbhd doesn’t need a good studio setup to make a great video. Just takes up his Canon R5, starts shooting and speaking like a pro. Love it.

As usual great video, great insights

Always amazed at how you do the most organised, concise memory dump of your thoughts and all makes sense, no omissions, no double mentions, just perfect, many thanks for your way of creating videos!

I think the reason behind the constant comparison of M1 and M3 is that the M1 computers are still so good that people may not otherwise upgrade.

Would be interesting to see an M1 Max compared to a standard M3

I gotta say, starlight has been a great colour for me. It's subtle but also really nice to not have just grey, plus not too fingerprinty

Huge congratulations on competing at WBUC. Have fun! I’m sure USA will do well (but, go GB!). And thanks for the timely reminder that I need to check for livestreams. My many months decision making process is heading towards a Mac mini, to replace my non-windows 11 compatible computer. So some more delaying while I decide to find a deal on M1/M2 or wait for M3 Mac Mini.

My jaw dropped when I saw that text at the end. That to me was the most impressive outcome from tonight's keynote. I, like you, want to see the BTS of the making of this keynote. I hope they have that planned because it will sell a lot more phones. I'm also glad there's no need for me to upgrade my 14" M2 Pro MacBook. Although they need to keep that space black color around for when I do in a few years.

Hardware support for Mesh Shading is a huge deal. It's been on nvidia and AMD's card for ~3 generations now, but finally having it means a lot for 3d graphics, enabling previously impossible polygon counts.

Great video! Would be nice to see a comparison between M2 Pro Chip with M3 Pro Chip, as the numbers of CPU/GPU cores are interesting.

I’m an astrophotographer working on a 15” 2015 MacBook Pro rn and I’m thinking about upgrading to an m3 MacBook Pro. I honestly can’t wait to make the jump. Also, marques that video quality is so good and we NEED those ultimate frisbee highlights! Keep up the incredible work!

He knew we were just here to see his reaction to the space black MacBook and he kept us on the edge of our seats lmao

A UKpostsr at his level editing his own video on a laptop in a hotel... This is what makes Marques a superstar. What a work ethic

I like this format. No graphics. Not that the MKBHD can't make, but they obviously chose to keep it simple. Casual and interesting 😊

I think the M3 chip is designed to attract customers that a) haven't made the jump from intel processors yet or b) purchased an early model M1 chip product. Its kind of like when some people (like myself) who don't like to purchase a new phone year on year but rather skip a year so that I can really notice the boost in performance and efficiency

M1 is sooooo good I don’t see myself upgrading for another 3-4 years. It has aged so well and it would take more than just a color to upgrade.

When they decided on matte black for the M3 line, they definitely had you in mind! I can't count how many time you've asked for matte black

I love how chill this video is, just Marques and a camera. Good luck with the Ultimate Frisbee tournament!

My M2 Max MBP is already the perfect laptop to me. I'm surprised Apple decided to upgrade it so quickly after its release. The GPU upgrades would be exciting if more games were available.

The end message was the most surprising thing of the whole event for me. I was actually thinking during the event why they don't record it on the iPhone since they praise their video quality so much... I didn't see this coming.

Really interesting that this is finally hitting the mainstream because when it comes to Macs (and phones) but I've been noticing more and more people who just don't bother to upgrade anymore. OR if we need a computer we just walk in and buy the cheapest thing Apple has and it's more than powerful enough for 99% of tasks.

Thank you Marques. It was very insightful. Was a PC user since the early 90’s. Bought a primo iPad a couple years ago and liking it. Thought I would head for a laptop again. Thanks.

Cool for me that they focused on DNA sequencing - I love my M1 MacBook Pro for my single cell transcriptomics work and a few years ago it would have been quite difficult to do that work on a laptop. I won’t be replacing mine just yet but maybe the next model.

Marques always being insanely fast on these Apple updates and insights.

If MKBHD is not pushing his M1 Max Macbook Pro, there is no way I'm pushing my M2 Mac Mini. I'm very interested to see the lineup of games coming along the new GPU techs.

I have maybe a dozen subscriptions and this channel is one of them. Good luck on the frisbee. Thanks for sounding off on the unexpected news.

CONGRATS!! PROUD OF YOU!!

Congrats on your team USA Roster addition. You're the man. Incredibly inspiring to see your journey.

Good luck in the match! I'm one of the M1 Max MBP users and while I'm probably in their use case as I do a lot of ML and Software Dev - I think I'm going to wait. The Space Black is an intriguing color, but between fingerprints and the inevitable scratches - I don't know if I can do that color. In your review (or when you talk to Apple), ask them about scratch resistance. A silver MBP hides all the small nicks and scratches very well.

Love all the videos. But. I love the simplicity/format of this one

Great impromptu video Marques. I agree, if your present Mac is working for you there is no need to upgrade, but if you have the opportunity to upgrade and "future proof" your Mac where it will surpass a great number of years might be worth it. Just a thought. I hope you did well with your tournament.

My favorite part was when they compared M3 performance to M1😭 Edit: Yes I realize most people still have M1, I refuse to upgrade because of how good that chip is. I just thought it was a little funny to not compare it to your newest chipset as much as your oldest one :p

I just started filming things on my 15 Pro and I must say the new pro res log format is a game changer. It doesn't surprise me the even was shot on an iPhone because the new iPhone video processing is amazing.

I have the base M1 Mac with 8 gigs of Ram and 256 gigs of SSD only, so honestly I think the M3 Pro with 36 gigs of Ram and 1TB of storage seems to be a huge improvement to me :D

I have the fan-less MacBook from early 2016. Still works very well and is in good condition. Although the battery is far worse than how it was before. So I definitely plan to upgrade once the 14” becomes available.

So happy that all your hard work is being honored with being part of the tournament. People probably underestimate the hard work and commitment to get there. 👏

Congratulations on making the team. Thank you for sharing with us your thoughts on the recent Mac Event even though you are preparing for the Ultimate Freebie Beach World Championships. Greatly appreciate it and you. Take care and have fun.

The thing that you talk with honesty, is why I support you always. Thank you for your honesty

Thanks for another quality presentation my dude! 🔥

Hardware ray tracing is probably the most significant upgrade from the M2, and was the biggest feature that the Apple Silicon GPUs have been missing since their launch. Nvidia is now on their fourth generation of GPUs with hardware accelerated ray tracing.

3D content creators might benefit the most. I'm eager to see performance tests with Blender and Cinema 4D. I'm curious how the new Macs stack up against Windows laptops in this area.

Love watching your videos. The GOAT in tech reviews. Thank you

The fact that the entire event was filmed on iPhone 15 Pro Max is mind blowing! 🔥

I too was blown away when I saw "Shot on iPhone" at the end of the Keynote. I have the 14PM and I couldn't be happier with it, but the 15PM sure does feel like an upgrade I would appreciate.

Thanks MKBHD for an amazing video as always and man, “All the Best” for your frisbee match!!!

There seems to also be a Mac Mini Space Black in the keynote in the lab when Johny Srouji talks about the M3 chips. Visible around 08:00 minutes into the keynote

Congrats on the ultimate frisbee spot Marques! It’s an amazing achievement and a great thing to see your goal come to fruition. Good luck 💪

I think they understand that it might take 2 gens before people are upgrading. Same w/ phones. Things never sound like major upgrades if you have the most up to date thing, but if you're a couple gens behind, they might become interesting.

Good luck in the tournament Marques! If I was a few years younger I would be there.. I love the sport!

Congrats on making the team brother!!

With how good the M series of chips have gotten, I wonder if Apple will try their hand in the gaming space again. With a bigger cooling system, I think an optimized and gaming focused M chip could have some solid performance.

M3 improvements from M2 are really miniscule. A very minor update for general use, but it does unlock some niche features and workflows

Congrats on playing with the team! Hope you guys crush it!!!!!

@MKBHD you knew that a behind the scenes video is gonna come !! Woah you said it , they delivered !

There are three types of Mac that might have a big difference. The iMac, the new base level 14” Pro and the Mac’s with the M3 Pro Max in. The first two are obvious but the Pro Max on had the biggest leap in graphics performance. So it’ll be interesting to see if this makes a difference in real world applications.

Congrats on the frisbee roster! Massive props and best of luck, Marques

Bruh, how do you have energy to do this, I'm simply amazed!

Also liked the final note about the battery still running!

If you have to compare M3 with your older M1 chips to make the difference seem bigger then it really shows how small the actual improvement is, Also a "Pro" Macbook with 8gb of ram in 2023? and don't get me started with the 256gb of storage in the NEW m3 imac

Thanks for summing it up nicely. I recently got my MacBook M2 pro and was almost pissed for a minute because I was not expecting a M3 so soon. But I can rest easy tonight. Great video like always🤘

I'm rocking a 14inch M1 Pro here and I don't see myself upgrading this thing for a pretty good while. It's just too good.

Marques had me smiling when he said "Amazing Production" I can only imagine what wonders the MKBHD team would do if they were the guys behind the next Apple Keynote. 🤯 PS: Thanks for this update. You are an absolute treat to watch Marques 🖤

7:06 You can see him being excited and calming hisself not to upgrade 😂

Congrats on the team!! 🎉

Really like what you did with the lamp behind you.

i'll be sharing this video with my family as they love Apple. thank you for the video, and all the editing you do to make your videos that much better. Happy Halloween. Congratulations on being added to the team. good luck.

Congrats Bro on the selection and good luck to your Frisbee game. Achieving and following your passion is inspiring even at people like me at 40's. And yes the Space Black / Matte Black is actually tempting :)

i really like this video more than the studio ones honestly idk why though is it the way he speaks? is it the personal vlog direction? is it the honesty?

dude im loving these new style phone recorded videos

As an architect, my general laptop is an M1 Max, but I've needed to keep a high end Windows/NVIDIA machine just for autodesk software and live 3D high res modeling w/ray tracing (unreal/twinmotion). Interested to see if we might be able to go all mac soon.

I kind of like this style of videos as much, if not better. Very simple, and that's the way I like these impressions videos anyways. Good luck on your tournament!

1:30, great description of what Clayton Christensen calls the 'good enough' point where disruption is likely to occur.

It is not an interesting topic to me, but I appreciate you doing such a raw video, that is solely about your channels biggest strength, a in the end personal opinion of a well experienced and quite reflected tech user. I hope this doesn´t sound condescending. I appreciate many of the ways you bring towards your work, only sometimes the polishedness or titles of the videos might direct away from the essence, that´s why this was in a good way surprising to me, that you see this as valid of a video as the high effort productions.

I hope the reason they aren’t releasing a USB C keyboard, mouse, and trackpad, is that they are redesigning the Magic Mouse. It would make sense to keep both bundled accessories using the same port, so I expect they will not stagger the release of them. The Magic Mouse at least needs a new charging port location, but a change to its ergonomics would also be welcome.

Great video, especially, creating this from a hotel room! I've seen other channels speculate that some of the biggest improvements of a 3 nm chip have to do with 2 big improvements in efficiency and one performance improvement. As I understand it, the 3 benefits derived from that upgrade in efficiency are: 1) Lowered power consumption, i.e. less wasted natural resources and longer battery life, 2) Lowered heat generation, and 3) improved performance under heavy loads because with less heat generation also comes less performance throttling. Although I do modest amounts of video editing and zero gaming, I definitely AM interested in using my computer for flight simulation as a serious flight training resource. Flight Sim programs are notorious for using only one graphics core for 99% of the work. Historically, this has run computers HARD and very HOT. That's a problem if a person's workflow also works better with a laptop because a lot of work requires computer use while "out in the field". If a computer could do the heavy lifting required by Flight Sim programs when I'm home, but could also be portable when I'm working away from home (laptop), that would be the Holy Grail of computers for me. Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but the combination of efficiency and performance made possible by the M3 seems like it might fulfill all of that? The efficiencies of the M1 and M2 were fine as far as power draw, but were still not quite there with heat dissipation as far as Flight Sim and 3D rendering work. My sense is that the 3 nm technology promises a big reduction in heat generation. Any thoughts on this? Is this a test you would be interested in doing? Thanks Marques!

Can't wait for your new video about the M3 family!

I used to do a bit of light editing on my Macbook, well it's an early 2016 Macbook Pro and it uhh... yeah I could use a new one but it's wonderful that this one is still chugging along

Good stuff getting on that team man!

Great first impressions, @MKBHD! Your initial take on the MacBook Pro was insightful and informative. Can't wait for the full review!

Im still using the M1 from the MacBook pro, dont see myself upgrading as its still really really fast. It uses the touchbar which I still love. Ill try to stay on this MacBook for as long as possible

I have an M1 MacBook Pro and it is still an absolute beast. Never runs slow, a fan has never turned on and the battery life is still as amazing as when I first got it. Plus, I love the touchbar.

It's inspiring to see that even after all of these years, with a full-blown staff and studio behind you, you can still just grab a phone camera and pull off a straightforward, no bells-and-whistles, video just like that. Thanks Marques for providing quality content no matter what method you choose!

Congrats on representing our country! Looking forward to the upcoming Mac videos!

It’s always render times and workflow resolutions and these recent years machine learning. Used to be all hard wired into a wall and desk but now these work flows are truly mobile and that’s exciting for anyone even if you have a render network farm onsite.

Great discussion, and great job making the team. Now go out and kick some Ultimate butt! 🙂

Glad you spoke about how they focussed on the M1 vs M3 and not so much the M2 vs M3 - having an M2 max MBP was getting that fomo feeling but calmed myself down after seeing this and the launch figures.

Congratulations Marques that's freakin' awesome🎉

Another great job ! Even as a simple vlog from travel about your Apple event thoughts it’s soo cool to watch, very interesting and great quality ! 🖤 Go Team USA !!!

I just pre-ordered mine today and I can’t wait for it to arrive 🙌🏽

They totally built that laptop for you! I remember how well the I don't need a Model S Plaid went. You are going to upgrade to this!

I think it's reasonable that they compared with the M1 products since the people who own M1 are the most likely to be buying these new macs. That being said, I have an M1 Pro 14" MacBook Pro base spec and it's fantastic. Still very fast, great battery life, awesome speakers and screen etc. No plans to upgrade until maybe the M5 or M6.

I’d love to see a video from you after you deeply reviewed the Snapdragon X performance, because for me it seems that Apple threw away the 3-year’s tech advantage. Was really this MacBook Pro evolution needed with 3 nm but an architecture that is really nothing great compared to M1. Indeed they compared the performance all along the keynote with Intel Mac… still??? Looking forward to see your detailed analysis. Great video as always Marquese.

Congrats on your performance Marques! Make the US proud!

9:55 when mkbhd talk about how event shot in iphone , he did that too in his video

I worked on the 14 inch version for the past year and a half or so. So happy to finally have it launch

I recently bought an Asus Zenbook Duo which is a dual screen laptop. I had no idea how much I'd use the second screen but I use it nearly each time I'm on the computer. So many cool features. Very fast and does everything I need. I just which Apple would come out with something - anything that is super creative and innovative and makes us go "wow"!

Estaba buscando información sobre la MacBook M3 y encontré este video, muchas gracias por esta información, me parece muy interesante todo el análisis que realizas. Saludos. 👍

Congrats on the US team representation, best wishes man! BTW hilarious that you have a Windows 10 wallpaper on your MacBook 😂

Oh wow. The fact that it was shot on iPhone is unbelievable, but what makes it mind blowing is the fact that they had such dark scenes and still looked amazing. I couldn’t have told it was shot on an iPhone
