MACBOOK PRO 14 VS MACBOOK PRO 16: WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU BUY?

Two workstations, both the same in poise, in your web based shopping basket, where we lay our scene: MacBook v MacBook.

 

All joking aside however, Apple's newest MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 provide virtually similar advantages in general: same presentation type, a similar number of and kinds of availability ports, same console, similar pick of equipment parts. So how would you pick between the two when they are so comparative and similarly heavenly PCs? We turn out all of that, including a couple of key contrasts, beneath.

 

 

 

 

Execution

 

Despite the fact that the coordinated GPU is adequately strong to mess around locally, the rundown of good titles on macOS is thin. However, the 14-inch MacBook Pro is an incredible cloud gaming PC.

 

Both of the freshest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros have arrangements that incorporate Apple's M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, so in fact talking it's feasible to get a similar processing execution out of both. Each chip has an alternate number of CPU centers and GPU centers.

 

The MacBook Pro 14 comes standard with a M1 Pro chip that has either a 8-center CPU and 14-center GPU, a 10-center CPU and 14-center GPU, or a 10-center CPU and 16-center GPU.

 

The MacBook Pro 16 accompanies either the most remarkable M1 Pro chip (10-center CPU and 16-center GPU) or a M1 Max chip with either a 10-center CPU and 24-center GPU, or a 10-center CPU and a 32-center GPU. In any case, here's the rub: you can likewise design the 14-inch MacBook Pro with a similar M1 Max chips. The main chip you can't place in a 16-inch MacBook Pro is the base M1 Pro.

 

Assuming you're taking a gander at every one of those center counts and thinking, "How treats generally mean?", here's a basic method for seeing it: more centers mean more power. Ten centers will have more all out handling power than eight, for example. There will not be a significant distinction in regular assignments like web perusing, yet in undertakings like video transcoding, those additional centers will make the cycle speed up, regardless of whether it's by seconds rather than minutes.

 

You'll see a lot bigger contrast in illustrations handling between the 16, 24, and 32-center GPU choices. To such an extent that the best quality M1 Max chip can deal with current computer games with the assistance of an outside designs card.

 

For instance, as we found in our MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 testing, you'll get a normal of 42 casings each second in Shadow of the Tomb Raider with a 16-center GPU, however a normal of 85fps with a 32-center GPU-twofold the centers, twofold the exhibition. That is at 1080p on the most elevated designs preset, as well.

 

Eventually, on the off chance that we contrast the base MacBook Pro 14 with the base MacBook Pro 16, the 16-inch PC will be quicker on the grounds that its chip has more CPU and GPU centers. Yet, considering you can get a similar exhibition out of every PC assuming they are arranged something very similar, one MacBook isn't superior to the next in this classification.

Compactness

Almost everything about Apple's MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max blew us away.

 

This is straightforward: the MacBook Pro 14 is a more modest PC, so obviously, it's the most compact. Its more modest size implies it weighs not exactly the 16-inch too-3.5 pounds versus 4.8 pounds. The MacBook Pro 14 additionally has a more modest power connector that is square-formed while the MacBook Pro 16's power connector is rectangular, so assuming you truly do have to load the charger with the PC in your pack, you'll have a smidgen more space with the 14-inch model.

Highlights

 

MagSafe is back on the MacBook Pro!

 

Once more, these MacBook Pro models are Apple's better quality workstations, so they accompany preferred highlights over less expensive models, similar to more ports, better battery duration, and a Liquid Retina XDR show. Indeed, both MacBook Pro models have the very same fundamental elements.

 

Both have three Thunderbolt 4 ports, one HDMI port, one SDXC card opening, and MagSafe 3 port for charging. Both have a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID, a Force Touch trackpad, and a similar Liquid Retina XDR show with a most extreme goal of 2732 x 2048p and a pixel thickness of 264 ppi. The showcase can likewise uphold HDR content up to 1000 nits splendor.

 

Nonetheless, the MacBook Pro 16 has much preferred battery duration over the Pro 14. In our fundamental battery test, the MacBook Pro 14's battery went on for ten hours and 25 minutes, while the Pro 16 went on for a mind boggling 22 hours and 32 minutes. Assuming you really want a PC for video altering or other eager for power errands, you will need the bigger battery, particularly on the off chance that you incidentally fail to remember your power connector at home while heading to work or school.

Cost

 

The 14-inch MacBook Pro supplanted the small finger impression peruser with a bigger square, sunken key.

 

Here's the place where things get somewhat precarious. Since you can change the PC arrangement by picking what chip, measure of memory and capacity, and other additional items you need in your MacBook Pro, it's extremely simple to burn through a large number of dollars on either the Pro 14 or Pro 16. So for contention, we should check out the base models of the two workstations.

 

The base MacBook Pro 14 expenses $1,999, while the base MacBook Pro 16 expenses $2,499. Would you be able to pick the Pro 14, overhaul it with almost all that the Pro 16 does, and set aside cash? Totally. Assuming you update the chip in the Pro 14 to the base chip in the Pro 16 (the M1 Pro with a 10-center CPU and 16-center GPU), that will bring the expense of the Pro 14 to $2,299-$100 not exactly the Pro 16.

 

Both the Pro 14 and Pro 16 can be designed with up to 64GB of memory (in the event that you choose a M1 Max chip) and up to 8TB of capacity. Both base PC models accompany 512GB of capacity and 16GB of memory, and it costs something very similar to overhaul both of those parts.

 

If you somehow happened to go with both of the M1 Max contributes the MacBook Pro 14, you'd in any case set aside cash. Adding the M1 Max with a 10-center CPU and a 24-center GPU to the Pro 14 carries the expense to $2,899, where a Pro 16 arranged with a similar chip is $3,099, or $200 more-and the best in class M1 Max chip brings the absolute expense of the Pro 14 to $3,099, while the Pro 16 is $3,299.

 

The main thing you'll pass up is a bigger showcase and a more drawn out battery duration, however for a great many people, a 14-inch show is an ideal size and ten and a half long periods of battery duration is bounty.

 

Our pick: MacBook Pro 14

 

Also the champ is…

 

The MacBook Pro 14-inch M1 Pro is the most appropriate for any individual who really does light to direct photograph or video altering work consistently.

 

While there is no question both the MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 are amazing workstations, the Pro 14 can be arranged to offer very much like execution (aside from battery duration) and essentially overall similar highlights as the Pro 16 and still be $100 or $200 dollars less expensive. Assuming you do a ton of video work or 3D delivering, you may need the MacBook with a bigger presentation and longer battery duration, yet for the vast majority, a 14-inch screen will be fine.

 

Likewise remember that the MacBook Pro 16 doesn't offer the base M1 Pro chip (8-center CPU, 14-center GPU) as a choice. So on the off chance that you were expecting to get a bigger presentation with better battery duration and bring the general expense somewhere near getting a less strong chip, you are in a tight spot. You can't get the second most impressive M1 Pro chip in the MacBook Pro 16.
