WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.720 woohoo it's new Macbook day my favorite day on ShortCircuit it only comes 00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:11.360 usually once a year this is the MacBook Pro 00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:13.839 M4 looks pretty similar to the last one 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 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 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:28.480 to USBC 2 m sleeved nice cable and then 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:31.199 a charging brick Oh I ripped it 70 wat 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 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.879 then the usual Apple propaganda these still come with Apple stickers right do 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.120 these not come with Apple stickers anymore bro what's the point in even 00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:46.879 buying them then it's probably good for the planet or something now if you're 00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:49.000 wondering I am still rocking the same 00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:53.960 Intel MacBook Pro over here I haven't upgraded yet so this is again another 00:00:51.600 --> 00:01:01.000 instance of me going hm maybe it's finally time except when I got to set 00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:04.119 today I realized tragedy struck we 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:06.560 bought the wrong MacBook it is still an 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 00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:14.680 color profile you can also get it in silver of course but there was a 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 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 00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:30.840 Port an SD card reer and then on the other side another two USBC Thunderbolt 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 00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:40.200 USBC ports they're now Thunderbolt 5 instead of Thunderbolt 4 at least on the 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.360 pro and Max models uh the base M4 spec 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 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:53.399 faster than Thunderbolt 4 on the inside bam it's it's pretty much the same 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:57.880 keyboard look at that I think it is exactly the same keyboard pretty similar 00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:03.680 touchpad and then there is the display it looks pretty much the same same 00:01:59.960 --> 00:02:05.560 resolution same xdr fancy technology it 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:09.119 is 1,000 nits Peak brightness when you're Outdoors instead of 600 so that 00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:12.440 should help with outdoor visibility um there is another change I'm going to 00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:18.120 tell you about in a bit but the big thing is the new nanotexture option 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.959 which is an anti-glare coating and as 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 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 00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:33.760 the one on the left looks beautiful it actually seems to work really well I 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 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.680 that does a lot of work in bright spaces or Outdoors or places with Reflections 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:44.400 that could be reason enough alone to upgrade we weren't able to get it 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:48.000 because trying to get these laptops in Canada where we're from the supply chain 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.920 kind of sucks and it would have resulted in us getting the laptop like 3 weeks 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 00:02:54.959 --> 00:03:01.239 I want you to hear about our sponsor dbrand and us I guess because we just 00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:06.000 dropped our new circuit board skin in collaboration with dbrand it's freaking 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:11.200 sick it features a custom circuit board layout based on real PCB traces and 00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:15.519 actually has a textured skin so you can feel it and honestly it seems to improve 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:19.120 the grip of the device there's three different colorways glow circuit short 00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:22.680 circuit and dark circuit and the glow circuit one as you can guess freaking 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 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 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:39.000 their Black Friday sale with up to 50% off dbrand.com blackf Friday or sl4 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 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 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 00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:57.879 there is also a beefier version that comes with two extra CPU and four extra 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 00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.239 a non-pro M4 16in MacBook Pro uh you can 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 00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:13.480 Apples to Apples I mean it is Apples to Apples because they're both Apple 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 00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:21.639 M3 Pro to M4 Pro base model you get one 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.320 extra CPU core which is I guess an upgrade right off the bat you also are 00:04:23.479 --> 00:04:29.199 getting two more of your cores as performance cores instead of efficiency 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 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 00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:42.400 for the bass or Bey M4 Pro the M4 chips 00:04:39.479 --> 00:04:45.880 also feature second generation Ray tracing which should make your games 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:49.320 even more Ray traced if you're trying to rate trce them and maybe faster and 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 00:04:51.400 --> 00:04:57.800 memory bandwidth from 150 GB a second to 00:04:54.440 --> 00:05:00.000 273 GB a second should in theory be good 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:03.639 for memory intensive workloads either way it's an upgrade so I'm not 00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:06.240 complaining man this new display I don't have high refresh rate on my Intel 00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:11.160 MacBook and I like there's another new thing 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 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:19.520 Insider info on they're both on the same settings on the P3 profile in promotion 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:23.960 refresh rate we got the high refresh rate and on auto brightness so if I open 00:05:21.919 --> 00:05:27.440 this test on blur Busters you might notice a bit of a difference between 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.319 them this guy you can see the lines look super nice and white and clear 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:34.680 consistently but if you look at the old screen do you 00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:39.800 see how it kind of goes blue as the lines are moving this is called cyan 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:44.560 Flash and what's happening is the LEDs that drive the display the red LEDs are 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:49.120 a little bit slower to respond than the rest about one frame worth you probably 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:52.880 wouldn't notice why you're like using Google Docs but if you move around a 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:57.440 white object for instance on a black screen you kind of get this weird effect 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 00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:07.120 they didn't say that but it is aside from fixing the cyan flash these Quantum 00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:13.080 dots would in theory improve the color accuracy although Apple tries really 00:06:09.479 --> 00:06:14.800 hard to hit the exact DCI P3 color gamut 00:06:13.080 --> 00:06:18.160 which means even though this display could probably be quite a bit more color 00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:21.440 accurate than this one uh it's not really going to see a huge difference 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 00:06:23.599 --> 00:06:29.160 likely more power efficient than this one because of the quantum dots that's 00:06:26.960 --> 00:06:33.840 probably part of how Apple was able to obtain a 2hour supposed better battery 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 00:06:36.599 --> 00:06:42.000 test against it is as Apple claimed when you are outside or you shine a 00:06:40.440 --> 00:06:48.120 flashlight at the light sensor to make it think like you're outside it will hit 00:06:44.440 --> 00:06:50.560 a th000 nits in SDR content across a 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:54.800 100% window the entire display that's pretty awesome it also will hit even 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:59.240 higher in HDR mode the same 1600 nits we measured a tiny bit higher but overall 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:04.520 great performance the one weird thing is in HDR the color accuracy by default is 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 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:14.520 where they make things oversaturated but in the default xdr profile HDR color 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:18.840 accuracy is kind of bad if you switch to the HDR video color profile it's 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:23.240 excellent the other new thing in the display region is the webcam it's a 12 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:27.879 megapixel Center Stage camera that features desk view now what is that I 00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:31.240 will show you Center Stage automatically adjust your camera to keep it in view 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:37.319 great great this is what Center Stage does it basically 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:39.160 just it's AI Zoom bro it's very smooth 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:45.680 right like does this feel kind of natural but what is desk view yo what is 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:08:07.960 --> 00:08:12.840 apple Engineers like hackathon project 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 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:23.080 here we might as well try out the speakers let's get some crab Rave 00:08:23.080 --> 00:08:28.599 going they sound really solid no 00:08:26.159 --> 00:08:34.279 surprises there as for software there is macOS COA now very exciting Apple 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 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.479 list thanks Apple other than that it looks pretty similar I don't know what 00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:44.880 the difference is on the new macOS I don't pay attention and usually to be 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:49.680 honest I don't even update my MacBook until like the next next version is out 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 00:08:51.959 --> 00:08:57.720 dog for the first few months don't at me 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 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 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:09.519 the new R tracing stuff so maybe it's 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 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 00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:22.640 larger chassis look at that dude 54 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:25.519 seconds 1 minute and 8 seconds it's 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 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 00:09:32.839 --> 00:09:39.920 minutes Jesus Christ 8 minutes remaining on this one and 6 minutes remaining on 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 00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:49.440 cores the CPU test is a little more interesting to me because these do have 00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:53.440 the same number of CPU cores the chassis size difference is immediately apparent 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:58.880 because this one is already ramping up to be honest you pretty rarely hear the 00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:01.640 fan in these laptops and the 16 the 16 00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:05.680 is still dead quiet I can't hear anything while this 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:10.680 was running I wanted to check and see what the TDP of these different laptops 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 00:10:12.560 --> 00:10:19.399 know if that would be possible without drawing a bit more power and according 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:23.040 to notebook check the M3 Pro should be a 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:26.160 TDP of around 27 watts and the M4 pro at 00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:29.040 least the 12 core option is 32 watts 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 00:10:31.839 --> 00:10:38.480 so not like a ton more power but like a 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:42.560 few Watts all right there we have it 6 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:44.920 minutes 31 seconds 8 minutes 20 seconds 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 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 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 00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:03.000 average GHz bam they're done finally 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:08.760 holy crap dude 1417 points on this test 1450 in the 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:12.440 last one and 1,074 on this one that is 00:11:08.760 --> 00:11:15.279 like more than 300 points more 350 maybe 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 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:23.839 last gen beefy one in a bigger chassis and this new one is Still rocking it 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:27.079 even as a base model that being said they definitely are putting more power 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:33.279 in here you got more gigahertz on this one4 more gigahertz to to be exact and 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:36.680 you have more pees and clearly it shows this thing freaking rips despite the 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:40.800 higher power CPU apple is actually claiming more battery life on the new 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 00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:47.839 say that but we don't have an exact model to compare against previously we 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 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 00:11:55.320 --> 00:12:01.920 of video playback but we aren't doing it probably in the exact way they expect 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 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:10.600 laptops are expected to be several hours better than Windows gaming laptop for 00:12:08.760 --> 00:12:15.639 instance and definitely still excellent I mean overall I'm here for it it's a 00:12:13.199 --> 00:12:20.720 Macbook and they actually made it faster This Time by like a lot so overall it 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:25.079 actually this thing seems pretty sick if you're somebody that has high 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.760 performance requirements video editing probably photo editing blender all of 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 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:39.519 that necessitates upgrading if you're already on M3 but if performance matters 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:44.279 to you
