Oh, so I bought another Apple laptop.

It's the M5 Pro model with a bunch of RAM.

But why?

Well, first, I have a desktop PC that's pretty powerful.

I built it like two years ago.

And I have an M1 Pro MacBook Pro.

Why not just use the desktop PC?

Well, because I'm not always in the same location,

so I need a laptop.

But why not a Windows laptop?

Or what's wrong with my M1 Pro MacBook?

That one's gotten pretty slow for what I need it for,

which is just mostly video editing.

The M1 MacBook was a base model,

which means 512 gigs of storage and 16 gigs of RAM.

And this has really started to show inside of Premiere Pro.

I don't really care about export times, none of that.

The only thing I care about is timeline performance.

When I press space and there's a two second delay between my playhead starting to move,

that's extremely annoying because I press space multiple times every minute.

So those two seconds of delay adds up to an entire minute

that I have to wait in between playing and pausing the video that I'm editing.

And why not use proxies?

They're essentially like super large files that make editing way faster because it's like a more compatible format.

Well, because they're super large files and my old MacBook only had 512 gigabytes of free space.

This is how big proxy file is for 26 minutes of recording.

90 gigabytes and my recordings are usually like five hours long.

I could use something like an external hard drive

or SSD to edit off of but then there's not enough ports, it's slower.

I don't want to deal with that.

But why not Windows?

Well because Windows sucks.

Why not Linux?

Because Premiere Pro, the editing software that I use, doesn't exist on Linux.

So there's no other option.

It's either macOS or Windows macOS has their fair share of annoyances,

for example the animation speed when switching virtual desktops.

This is how long it takes.

Boom, boom.

That's when it fully switched.

You can do it faster if you set up keyboard shortcuts,

but for me it's super annoying that the animation speed increases the more your displays refresh rate increases.

Yes, it's very smooth, but don't make me wait.

Linux has this animation speed slider where you just drag it and all animations across the entire operating system become much faster.

That's such an amazing feature that I wish Windows and macOS would have.

Windows also has an annoying desktop switching animation,

but instead of it taking long,

there's just a massive delay between when you click the keyboard shortcut and when the display switches.

Anyway, let's pause on the virtual displays and come back to why Windows sucks.

It's mostly just file explorer.

When I edit videos, there's a bunch of files involved and I have multiple explorer windows open.

It's nice that it now has tabs, which is cool.

I hate the Explorer.

For example, half the time when I start my computer,

the Explorer just completely crashes.

It's just black screen and I have to go into the task manager and manually click run task and start file explorer.

What is that about?

A lot of times it shows that my folder is empty,

but it's actually not.

If I refresh, boom, everything appears.

Sometimes this happens to my mouse.

I mean, it could be because I've messed around with my graphics card inside of Linux,

so maybe there's some bug here.

But still, this never happens on Mac.

There are a fair share of things that annoys me about Mac OS,

but let's focus on Windows now.

When using a bunch of different apps that are in full screen,

when you switch back to them after a while,

it just goes to the corner.

Why?

And then you have to like resize them back up again.

This happens all the time because I have like Premiere open,

VS Code open for creating animations.

And when I switch back and the window is just super tiny in the corner,

that just wastes a bunch of time of me like messing around and putting it all back.

But probably the worst thing about the Explorer is the lag.

It's incredibly laggy.

The amount of time I just have to wait while my mouse spins around until it loads something,

the working on it message, and Finder on macOS.

Whenever you search for something, it's almost instant.

I mean, most normal people probably rarely use the Explorer,

but I use it every single day because I edit videos.

Half the time, it's also not responding.

Sometimes I'm just unable to drag a file.

It just doesn't work.

When switching virtual desktops, the text at the bottom blocks me from opening up my taskbar,

which is stupid, but like, why?

It just makes for a very clunky editing experience.

There's some things that I dislike about the Finder as well,

probably this one the most.

When you select a bunch of files and try to drag them to a new tab,

sometimes it just puts you back into the previous tab.

I hate when that happens.

Sometimes the Finder crashes too,

but way less than File Explorer.

There's also an annoying Google Chrome bug where it just keeps showing this stupid message and doesn't let me click anywhere else.

You just have to click OK like 10 times and then you're able to interact with your computer.

For some reason, some apps tend to just completely break the entire operating system and everything you do,

like moving folders around or moving windows around,

100

becomes delayed by like two seconds.

101

And then you have to go in and close every individual app to see which one it is and then,

102

you know, maybe update the app.

103

In this example, it was the app Linear Mouse.

104

So macOS is also not perfect,

105

but I would choose it over Windows just because of stability,

106

nine times out of ten.

107

Here are some other apps that I usually install on every Mac.

108

I already mentioned Linear Mouse.

109

This one is a must,

110

especially if you're coming from Windows.

111

It essentially lets you configure your mouse,

112

like disable pointer acceleration or change how fast your mouse scrolls for different apps.

113

This also is a great feature.

114

Enable universal back and forward,

115

If you have this disabled and then inside of something like Finder,

116

if you go into like movies and then you want to go back,

117

you can't do that with your mouse buttons.

118

You have to click this.

119

Here I'm pressing the mouse buttons.

120

Not working.

121

If I enable this, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.

122

Now it's working.

123

The next one is this one, Carabiner Elements.

124

This one lets me configure my keyboard shortcuts.

125

See, I have a bunch of custom ones like opening Chrome with Shift-Option-C.

126

This app is very good for that.

127

Then there's local send, which is essentially just airdrop,

128

but not only for Apple devices.

129

So if I take a screenshot,

130

I can immediately send it to my Windows PC without transferring it over USB or sending an email to myself.

131

Well, right now there's no PC here because it's turned off.

132

And then I have Setapp,

133

who are also sponsoring this video.

134

Setapp is a unified marketplace for Mac and iPhone users to discover hand-picked and secure apps.

135

You just download and install it once and then you can browse set up for a bunch of useful apps.

136

For example, I love this app called Yoink.

137

So I'm going to Yoink it and boom,

138

it's installing onto my Mac.

139

This is a great utility there.

140

It's installed.

141

For example, if I have a screenshot that I want to import into Premiere and I don't want to go to Premiere,

142

then go to my Finder,

143

find this thing and then import it.

144

I can just do it with yoink because it adds this like extra shelf where I can just place the screenshot,

145

go into Premiere and then import it from here.

146

Pretty useful.

147

If you want to see how your Mac is performing,

148

there's the iStat menus app.

149

It immediately opens.

150

I just click next a few times.

151

And there it is.

152

Look, there's my CPU temperature,

153

SSD usage, CPU usage, and so on.

154

There's Clean My Mac, which just removes a bunch of bloat from your Mac.

155

And there are hundreds of other amazing apps.

156

So you can browse Setapp's marketplace and get single app subscriptions or just get the classic Setapp monthly subscription,

157

which is just one subscription for hundreds of apps.

158

Go to the description and click on the first link to try out Setapp with an extended 30-day free trial.

159

Okay, let's come back to why I like this laptop.

160

I think this computer looks pretty cool.

161

It's very well built.

162

Well, exactly the same like my previous laptop.

163

It's just black.

164

I like the speakers a lot.

165

They're amazing.

166

I like the screen a lot.

167

It's amazing.

168

I also got the nano texture display,

169

which I would 100% recommend.

170

I think it's so much better than the glossy screen that I had on my older MacBook.

171

It's the best matte coating on the display that I've ever seen.

172

It's just a joy to look at.

173

I'm not sure about cleaning it though

174

because Apple recommends only using their own microfiber cloth

175

which came in the box with the laptop

176

and it does clean it pretty well although you have to scrub pretty hard if what's on your screen isn't dust.

177

Like if you're biting an apple and it squirts juices all over the screen.

178

Okay then you have to scrub it pretty hard.

179

Wait how much does the cloth cost? $20.

180

I also like the keyboard.

181

It's pretty good.

182

Touch ID.

183

It's also very good.

184

The trackpad, top class.

185

The hinge, it's openable with one finger.

186

The build quality, it's all metal.

187

Now here are the things I don't like.

188

The headphone jack sucks because whenever the laptop is charging and you want to plug in headphones,

189

there's always going to be some weird electrical noise that you hear through them.

190

I know it has to do with some like grounding on the charger,

191

which by the way wasn't even included in the box.

192

What the hell, that's stupid.

193

This expensive ass laptop does not come with a charging brick.

194

That's like, God, why?

195

Luckily I have one from the previous MacBook,

196

but most people don't have a 130 watt charger just laying around.

197

Anyway, the headphone issue, I know it has to do something with charger grounding and stuff,

198

but I've had other laptops where this wasn't an issue.

199

So it's just annoying that it's an issue here

200

and I pretty much only use the built-in speakers or AirPods with this computer and not my IEMs,

201

which are amazing and I would like to use them more.

202

I don't want to hear electricity in my ears every time I plug them in.

203

Next thing that annoys me is that there's no USB-A port.

204

I know everything is moving towards USB-C,

205

but like my mouse is not USB-C.

206

My external hard drives are not USB-C.

207

All the other ports are amazing,

208

they're perfect, but at least for me this is a pretty annoying thing.

209

Why does the notch exist?

210

It doesn't bother me that much or pretty much at all,

211

but why is it there?

212

But when When it comes to video editing, it's amazing.

213

I was editing on this for like four days,

214

then I turned on my Windows PC,

215

tried editing there, and oh my god,

216

this laptop is just such a joy to edit on.

217

Timeline performance is so much better here than on my dedicated Windows PC.

218

And that's the thing that I care about most.

219

When I first turned on Premiere on this thing

220

and just scrubbed one of my timelines and then hit space a couple times,

221

I was like, wow, I will love editing on this thing.

222

And I absolutely have.

223

It has the M5 Pro chip inside.

224

I was considering getting the M5 Max and less RAM or M5 Pro with more RAM.

225

And after discussing with AI and reading a bunch of Reddit comments,

226

I decided to just get a bunch of RAM because turns out Premiere really consumes RAM.

227

And I also want to play around with AI, maybe host models locally.

228

So that's why I thought more RAM equals good.

229

It has 64 gigabytes, which were not cheap.

230

And also two terabytes of storage,

231

which means now I can freely create however many proxies I want.

232

And they're not going to fill up the entire SSD,

233

which is so amazing.

234

On my previous Mac, I kept moving video files back and forth across different hard drives,

235

and it was very annoying.

236

Now I can just keep most of it here,

237

and once a month, just move everything off to a hard drive.

238

Also, one bonus thing that I didn't even consider was that creating animations for my videos,

239

which I do with a Python library called Manim,

240

that it would render them much faster.

241

I rendered out the first one,

242

and I was like, whoa,

243

hold up a second, that's fast.

244

Oh yes, another thing, the Option key.

245

I think it's so much better than the Alt key on Windows because you can't really remap the Alt key.

246

It always does some like weird function.

247

And inside of Premiere, I use a bunch of custom keyboard shortcuts.

248

And so I can't really use the Alt key for a lot of them.

249

One other very cool thing that the Option key does on macOS is when you hold it and use the arrow keys,

250

it jumps your cursor across the entire word.

251

This is very useful because you can hold Option

252

and click Delete to delete an entire word instead of deleting it like this,

253

one letter at a time.

254

Of course, you can do the exact same thing by holding control on Windows.

255

But since Mac has an extra modifier key,

256

the command key, when you hold this one,

257

it jumps across the entire sentence,

258

which means you can also delete the entire sentence.

259

And on Windows, you have to press like some weird home key combination.

260

And surprisingly, deleting the entire sentence is very useful, at least for me.

261

So on Windows, I made the alt key do the same behavior using auto hotkey.

262

Oh, I just remembered.

263

The reason I really like this laptop is because when I close it and open it back up again,

264

I'm back where I left off.

265

And I can technically, in theory,

266

do the same with my Windows PC,

267

but half the time when it wakes up from sleep,

268

it actually restarts for no reason.

269

Sometimes I move my mouse,

270

I hear the PC fans starting to spin up,

271

but my display permanently stays black.

272

So I have to reboot the PC and then get back into it again.

273

I think the way that Windows handles sleeping and hibernation is just a lot worse than the way Apple does it.

274

Even though it didn't come with a charging brick,

275

even though the headphone jack is super annoying,

276

even though it doesn't have a USB-A port,

277

even though there's a notch,

278

and some things with macOS are very annoying,

279

like not being able to change the animation speed,

280

all of that considered, I would still give this computer a 9 out of 10.

281

So I like it a lot,

282

because it really shines in the category that I care most about, video editing.

283

You can't really play games on this thing.

284

Well, you can, but no, you can't.

285

Okay, goodbye.

286

Thank you.
