1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,720 woohoo it's new Macbook day my favorite day on ShortCircuit it only comes 2 00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:11,360 usually once a year this is the MacBook Pro 3 00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:13,839 M4 looks pretty similar to the last one 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:19,560 but now it has an M4 instead of an M3 I'm not going to lie I am more of an M3 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:25,480 kind of guy but I can rock an M4 if I have to we've got their usual mag safe 3 6 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:28,480 to USBC 2 m sleeved nice cable and then 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,199 a charging brick Oh I ripped it 70 wat 8 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,840 USBC charging at least with the 14in I'm not sure what comes with the rest and 9 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,879 then the usual Apple propaganda these still come with Apple stickers right do 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,120 these not come with Apple stickers anymore bro what's the point in even 11 00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:46,879 buying them then it's probably good for the planet or something now if you're 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:49,000 wondering I am still rocking the same 13 00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:53,960 Intel MacBook Pro over here I haven't upgraded yet so this is again another 14 00:00:51,600 --> 00:01:01,000 instance of me going hm maybe it's finally time except when I got to set 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:04,119 today I realized tragedy struck we 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,560 bought the wrong MacBook it is still an 17 00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:11,080 M4 Pro it's a good form factor we got the 14in here in the sexy space black 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,680 color profile you can also get it in silver of course but there was a 19 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:19,159 horrible error made and I'm not going to tell you just yet you're going to have to wait a second because first I need to 20 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:25,320 go over the outside of this thing we've got an HDMI 2.1 port a USBC Thunderbolt 21 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:30,840 Port an SD card reer and then on the other side another two USBC Thunderbolt 22 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,520 ports 3.5 mil combo audio jack and mag safe there is an upgrade here on the 23 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:40,200 USBC ports they're now Thunderbolt 5 instead of Thunderbolt 4 at least on the 24 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,360 pro and Max models uh the base M4 spec 25 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:49,200 only is Thunderbolt 4 and that's good for 120 gbit which is up to 3 times 26 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:53,399 faster than Thunderbolt 4 on the inside bam it's it's pretty much the same 27 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,880 keyboard look at that I think it is exactly the same keyboard pretty similar 28 00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:03,680 touchpad and then there is the display it looks pretty much the same same 29 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:05,560 resolution same xdr fancy technology it 30 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,119 is 1,000 nits Peak brightness when you're Outdoors instead of 600 so that 31 00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:12,440 should help with outdoor visibility um there is another change I'm going to 32 00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:18,120 tell you about in a bit but the big thing is the new nanotexture option 33 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,959 which is an anti-glare coating and as 34 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:25,400 you can tell we don't have it and I saw I Justine's video when it came out look 35 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:29,160 at the difference what the hell you can't even use the one on the right and 36 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,760 the one on the left looks beautiful it actually seems to work really well I 37 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,160 can't wait to try it myself and honestly I think based on that if you're somebody 38 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,680 that does a lot of work in bright spaces or Outdoors or places with Reflections 39 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,400 that could be reason enough alone to upgrade we weren't able to get it 40 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,000 because trying to get these laptops in Canada where we're from the supply chain 41 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,920 kind of sucks and it would have resulted in us getting the laptop like 3 weeks 42 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:56,360 later and we already did get it late I get it but I really wanted it just like 43 00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:01,239 I want you to hear about our sponsor dbrand and us I guess because we just 44 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000 dropped our new circuit board skin in collaboration with dbrand it's freaking 45 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:11,200 sick it features a custom circuit board layout based on real PCB traces and 46 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,519 actually has a textured skin so you can feel it and honestly it seems to improve 47 00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:19,120 the grip of the device there's three different colorways glow circuit short 48 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,680 circuit and dark circuit and the glow circuit one as you can guess freaking 49 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,720 glows in the dark so much so that we built a UV Arch to charge up Linus's car 50 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:32,360 that we wrapped with it so check it out at the link below where dbrand also has 51 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:39,000 their Black Friday sale with up to 50% off dbrand.com blackf Friday or sl4 52 00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:43,319 fo9 look at that it's a laptop the most talked about change with any new Macbook 53 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:48,480 generation is the CPU we've gone from M3 to M4 this specifically is the M4 Pro 54 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:53,519 base model so we've got the 12 core CPU and 16 core GPU with 24 GB of RAM but 55 00:03:51,959 --> 00:03:57,879 there is also a beefier version that comes with two extra CPU and four extra 56 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:04,000 GPU cores that comes standard on the 16-in variant in fact you can't even get 57 00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,239 a non-pro M4 16in MacBook Pro uh you can 58 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,519 on the 14-in but not the 16 now compared to last generation this is obviously not 59 00:04:08,519 --> 00:04:13,480 Apples to Apples I mean it is Apples to Apples because they're both Apple 60 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:19,519 products but not a great comparison cuz this is a 16 and this is a 14 regardless 61 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,639 M3 Pro to M4 Pro base model you get one 62 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:25,320 extra CPU core which is I guess an upgrade right off the bat you also are 63 00:04:23,479 --> 00:04:29,199 getting two more of your cores as performance cores instead of efficiency 64 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:34,400 cores we'll have to see if that actually makes a a difference but in theory it it 65 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:39,479 probably should as for the GPU it's two more cores regardless of if you're going 66 00:04:35,919 --> 00:04:42,400 for the bass or Bey M4 Pro the M4 chips 67 00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:45,880 also feature second generation Ray tracing which should make your games 68 00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:49,320 even more Ray traced if you're trying to rate trce them and maybe faster and 69 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,440 blender with Ray tracing I don't know we'll have to see the other big thing is 70 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:57,800 memory bandwidth from 150 GB a second to 71 00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,000 273 GB a second should in theory be good 72 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,639 for memory intensive workloads either way it's an upgrade so I'm not 73 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,240 complaining man this new display I don't have high refresh rate on my Intel 74 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,160 MacBook and I like there's another new thing 75 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,720 with these new displays that hasn't really been talked about and apple didn't really mention but we got some 76 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,520 Insider info on they're both on the same settings on the P3 profile in promotion 77 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,960 refresh rate we got the high refresh rate and on auto brightness so if I open 78 00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:27,440 this test on blur Busters you might notice a bit of a difference between 79 00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:30,319 them this guy you can see the lines look super nice and white and clear 80 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,680 consistently but if you look at the old screen do you 81 00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:39,800 see how it kind of goes blue as the lines are moving this is called cyan 82 00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,560 Flash and what's happening is the LEDs that drive the display the red LEDs are 83 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:49,120 a little bit slower to respond than the rest about one frame worth you probably 84 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,880 wouldn't notice why you're like using Google Docs but if you move around a 85 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:57,440 white object for instance on a black screen you kind of get this weird effect 86 00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:02,120 on the new one it's gone and that's because the new display is quantum dot 87 00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:07,120 they didn't say that but it is aside from fixing the cyan flash these Quantum 88 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:13,080 dots would in theory improve the color accuracy although Apple tries really 89 00:06:09,479 --> 00:06:14,800 hard to hit the exact DCI P3 color gamut 90 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,160 which means even though this display could probably be quite a bit more color 91 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,440 accurate than this one uh it's not really going to see a huge difference 92 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,160 we'll check the lab tests in a sec and then it also means that this display is 93 00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:29,160 likely more power efficient than this one because of the quantum dots that's 94 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:33,840 probably part of how Apple was able to obtain a 2hour supposed better battery 95 00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:38,919 life on the new models but I don't have data to check that because we didn't have an equivalent previous laptop to 96 00:06:36,599 --> 00:06:42,000 test against it is as Apple claimed when you are outside or you shine a 97 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:48,120 flashlight at the light sensor to make it think like you're outside it will hit 98 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:50,560 a th000 nits in SDR content across a 99 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:54,800 100% window the entire display that's pretty awesome it also will hit even 100 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:59,240 higher in HDR mode the same 1600 nits we measured a tiny bit higher but overall 101 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:04,520 great performance the one weird thing is in HDR the color accuracy by default is 102 00:07:02,599 --> 00:07:07,840 not that great I don't know if it's like Apple trying to do like the Costco thing 103 00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:14,520 where they make things oversaturated but in the default xdr profile HDR color 104 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:18,840 accuracy is kind of bad if you switch to the HDR video color profile it's 105 00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:23,240 excellent the other new thing in the display region is the webcam it's a 12 106 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:27,879 megapixel Center Stage camera that features desk view now what is that I 107 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,240 will show you Center Stage automatically adjust your camera to keep it in view 108 00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:37,319 great great this is what Center Stage does it basically 109 00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:39,160 just it's AI Zoom bro it's very smooth 110 00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:45,680 right like does this feel kind of natural but what is desk view yo what is 111 00:07:43,159 --> 00:07:50,680 this the camera is super wide angle but they're like cropping a section of it so 112 00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:54,440 that you can have like a top down camera even though it's just from your webcam 113 00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:58,120 so look oh look at my sick top down camera I'm doing an unboxing it's short 114 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:02,479 circuit setion can you guys see look at that this is silly but also kind of cool 115 00:08:01,159 --> 00:08:05,960 like if you're just trying to show your your mom something it's it's kind of 116 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:11,400 limited cuz you got to tilt the camera like I feel like they're this was some 117 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,840 apple Engineers like hackathon project 118 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,919 and it's like it's kind of cool but I feel like people are probably not going to use this very often while we're in 119 00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:23,080 here we might as well try out the speakers let's get some crab Rave 120 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,599 going they sound really solid no 121 00:08:26,159 --> 00:08:34,279 surprises there as for software there is macOS COA now very exciting Apple 122 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:37,880 intelligence is featured in it but we can't use it cuz we're still on the wait 123 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:41,479 list thanks Apple other than that it looks pretty similar I don't know what 124 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:44,880 the difference is on the new macOS I don't pay attention and usually to be 125 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,680 honest I don't even update my MacBook until like the next next version is out 126 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,360 because Apple just likes to ship a new OS every year and usually it's kind of 127 00:08:51,959 --> 00:08:57,720 dog for the first few months don't at me 128 00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:02,519 it's just a fact let's try the blender monster under the bed demo I'm going to 129 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:07,480 start with GPU this one is an 18 core and this is a 16 core but this does have 130 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,519 the new R tracing stuff so maybe it's 131 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,360 faster or still I wouldn't be surprised if it is not faster or but it would be 132 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:19,600 pretty cool if the new base model Pro is faster than the old upgraded Pro in a 133 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:22,640 larger chassis look at that dude 54 134 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,519 seconds 1 minute and 8 seconds it's 135 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:30,720 faster it's a smaller chassis it's the lower spec one it's still faster at 136 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:35,760 least on the GPU end what if we try and CPU oh my God this is going to take 6 137 00:09:32,839 --> 00:09:39,920 minutes Jesus Christ 8 minutes remaining on this one and 6 minutes remaining on 138 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:44,839 this one I can't really go off of the ETA but like we have more performance 139 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:49,440 cores the CPU test is a little more interesting to me because these do have 140 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:53,440 the same number of CPU cores the chassis size difference is immediately apparent 141 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:58,880 because this one is already ramping up to be honest you pretty rarely hear the 142 00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:01,640 fan in these laptops and the 16 the 16 143 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:05,680 is still dead quiet I can't hear anything while this 144 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:10,680 was running I wanted to check and see what the TDP of these different laptops 145 00:10:07,839 --> 00:10:13,920 is because I mean this one seems to be going quite a bit faster and I don't 146 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:19,399 know if that would be possible without drawing a bit more power and according 147 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:23,040 to notebook check the M3 Pro should be a 148 00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:26,160 TDP of around 27 watts and the M4 pro at 149 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:29,040 least the 12 core option is 32 watts 150 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:35,240 with a boost up to 40 and then the 14 core is 40 Watts with a boost up to 46 151 00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:38,480 so not like a ton more power but like a 152 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:42,560 few Watts all right there we have it 6 153 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:44,920 minutes 31 seconds 8 minutes 20 seconds 154 00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:49,639 I don't know man that's pretty freaking huge let's do one more thing for funsies 155 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:55,040 I don't want to run cine bench oh yeah look at that cinebench reports 3.1 156 00:10:52,160 --> 00:11:00,399 versus 3.5 gz I don't know how it determines that maybe it's just like the 157 00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:03,000 average GHz bam they're done finally 158 00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:08,760 holy crap dude 1417 points on this test 1450 in the 159 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:12,440 last one and 1,074 on this one that is 160 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:15,279 like more than 300 points more 350 maybe 161 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:19,120 even 400 almost that's a lot more points it's pretty impressive that this is the 162 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:23,839 last gen beefy one in a bigger chassis and this new one is Still rocking it 163 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:27,079 even as a base model that being said they definitely are putting more power 164 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:33,279 in here you got more gigahertz on this one4 more gigahertz to to be exact and 165 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:36,680 you have more pees and clearly it shows this thing freaking rips despite the 166 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,800 higher power CPU apple is actually claiming more battery life on the new 167 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,839 models maybe that's in part due to the fancy new display even though they don't 168 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,839 say that but we don't have an exact model to compare against previously we 169 00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:52,680 did at least test this one and it ran in just about 12 hours which is pretty much 170 00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:57,720 what we would expect for an Apple device a far cry from Apple's claimed 22 hours 171 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:01,920 of video playback but we aren't doing it probably in the exact way they expect 172 00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:06,600 we're using the Plex app in our tests um but definitely in a class that Apple 173 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:10,600 laptops are expected to be several hours better than Windows gaming laptop for 174 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:15,639 instance and definitely still excellent I mean overall I'm here for it it's a 175 00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:20,720 Macbook and they actually made it faster This Time by like a lot so overall it 176 00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:25,079 actually this thing seems pretty sick if you're somebody that has high 177 00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:28,760 performance requirements video editing probably photo editing blender all of 178 00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:34,839 those things you're going to see a consist considerable performance increase over last gen I don't know if 179 00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:39,519 that necessitates upgrading if you're already on M3 but if performance matters 180 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:44,279 to you here you are this thing freaking rips maybe it is time for me to finally 181 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:50,480 upgrade I feel like I've said that every time now and I you should get the fancy 182 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:54,199 screen the fancy screen looks sick so if you like this video get subscribed let 183 00:12:52,120 --> 00:13:00,720 me know down in the comments what you think about the new Macbook I feel like 184 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,959 it's time for a design refresh but I'm 185 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:07,480 I'm just stoked for the screen I'm stoked for the performance and I'm stoked for you bye
