In summary, the most impressive performance from the new MacBook Pro M1 Max wasn’t just speed (it was about twice as fast), but it was insanely efficient in how it managed both its power and heat, which matters as much or more than pure speed. Also, fans spun up to max RPM during step one and never went back down. After completing step three (“Gap Filling” StarStax process), the battery was at 71%. About 2.5 minutes into that test, the battery life finally dropped down to 99%.įor reference, I ran this process on my previous gen 16" MacBook Pro (which has decent battery health of 85%). This happened quickly, and you guessed it, the battery life still showed 100%.Īt this point I kind of ran out of options, so I went back to Cinebench to run the test again on loop. So I opened eight images into Adobe Camera Raw and used Photomerge to create a giant panorama. I’m glad to have a row of physical keys back, and I’m even more excited that, for the first time ever, we now have full-size and full-height Escape and Function keys on MacBook Pro. Even to this day, I still have to look at the Touch Bar every time I use it, which breaks up my creative flow and eliminates any benefits it might otherwise offer.

(I wish I could still feel my Escape and Function keys. I found myself accidentally pressing them multiple times a day.)” In my 2018 article on the 2.9 GHz MacBook Pro, I wrote: “I spent 45 hours working on this machine and I still haven’t been able to adapt. I really tried to get into the Touch Bar. I’d love to see a slot that accepts both SD and CF Express in a future MBP model, but for now, I’ll still be carrying around my blazing fast ProGrade CF Express reader, and I’m perfectly fine with that. I also still use SD cards when working with the Hasselblad X1D II and the DJI Mavic Pro 2.Ī handful of cameras are shooting to CF Express now, including Canon’s R5 and R3, Nikon’s Z6/Z7 and D6, and Panasonic’s S1, and I expect there to be more soon. What I love about the Sony A1 is it accepts both SD and CF Express in the same slot, so I do carry some high-capacity SD cards in my bag just in case I run out of storage on CF Express.

These smaller cards are much faster (R 1700 MB/s, W 1480 MB/s) which allows me to take full advantage of the A1’s ability to shoot stills at 30 fps, and of course it’s really nice when offloading media, too. As a photographer, she shoots everything to SD card and is always tracking down her reader to offload images.Īs for me, I switched to CF Express when I switched my main workflow to the Sony A1. My wife, Esther, clapped with joy when I told her the new MacBook Pro M1 Max comes with an integrated SD card slot.

I ran this same test on the previous generation 16" MBP w/ 96W USB-C charger, and after 30 minutes (not using it at all) my battery was at 24% (so roughly 2x faster).įilmmakers are excited for the HDMI because it means they can easily connect their MBP to a TV or projector to share a recent edit or screen a final cut.įor speakers, they carry around just about every dongle to make sure they have the right connector to interface with the house A/V system, and HDMI is probably the most ubiquitous of them all. I went from 0% to 50% charge in 28 minutes, 58 seconds, while lightly using the device (writing this text in Notion and downloading some app updates for Keynote, Numbers, and more). The extra power feels like a turbo charger.

I always appreciated this thoughtful design and the assurance it gave me that my MacBook Pro wouldn’t be violently ripped off a table as someone tripped over my charging cable. I’m glad to have a new and improved MagSafe on the MacBook Pro M1 Max. I’m really glad the team at Apple has listened intently to the creative community and been willing to backtrack a bit on the physical interfaces of the machine-while also rocketing into the future with Apple’s new silicon. Turns out, it wasn’t great, and some of the assumptions the 2016 MBP was built on just never panned out. That said, when I first learned the 2016 MBP w/ Touch Bar had no ports except USB-C, I thought to myself, “OK, hmmmm… Sounds a little audacious, but could this be great?” Over the years, I’ve learned that oftentimes these decisions pan out (like excluding the floppy disk on the original iMac or eliminating physical keys altogether on the iPhone). Any time a bold design decision is made, especially by Apple, I always try to get into it as I trust they’ve been deeply thoughtful about how they’ve shaped a product.
