And it's a stark difference in size between my last laptop, the 14-inch MacBook Pro, which I have been happily using for the last two years.

與我上一臺筆記本電腦 14 英寸 MacBook Pro 相比，它的尺寸相差懸殊，在過去的兩年裡，我一直在愉快地使用它。

And this Switch has been an eye-opening experience on what it's like to live with a bigger size laptop.

這臺交換機讓我大開眼界，瞭解了使用大尺寸筆記本電腦的感受。

Because honestly, my behavior has changed more than I thought since owning this bigger laptop.

因為老實說，自從擁有了這臺更大的筆記本電腦後，我的行為改變比我想象的還要大。

And there have been multiple benefits upgrading to a bigger size laptop, but also some downsides that have me questioning if I really made the right choice.

升級到更大尺寸的筆記本電腦有很多好處，但也有一些壞處，讓我懷疑自己的選擇是否正確。

Thankfully, I always know I made the right choice when it comes to browsing the internet securely because I use IPVanish.

Okay, so the main factor that I considered when buying the 16-inch MacBook Pro was the size of the display.

在購買 16 英寸 MacBook Pro 時，我考慮的主要因素是顯示屏的尺寸。

And I mean, let's get this part out of the way because it's the most obvious difference about this laptop.

我的意思是，先說這部分，因為這是這款筆記本電腦最明顯的不同之處。

And yeah, the display is bigger and it feels much larger than the 14-inch display that I'm coming from.

是的，顯示屏更大了，感覺比我使用的 14 英寸顯示屏大得多。

And I have to hand it to the 15-inch MacBook Air for making me crave the need for a bigger display.

15 英寸 MacBook Air 讓我渴望擁有更大的顯示屏。

When I reviewed that a few months ago,

幾個月前，當我回顧這一點時、

I started carrying it around with me and although the display was technically worse quality than my 14-inch MacBook Pro,

我開始隨身攜帶它，雖然從技術上講，它的顯示品質不如我的 14 英寸 MacBook Pro、

I started getting used to that extra screen size on the Air.

我已經開始習慣 Air 的超大螢幕尺寸。

And at times I would gravitate towards the Air because I felt more productive using the larger display.

有時我會傾向於使用 Air，因為我覺得使用更大的顯示屏更有成效。

And I fully admit I'm the type of guy that has a cluttered workspace, right?

我完全承認我是那種工作空間雜亂無章的人，對吧？

Like I always have multiple windows open.

就像我總是打開多個窗口一樣。

So a few Safari windows, my podcast or music player, my mail client, my calendar client, and not to mention all the professional photo and video editing apps I use on a daily basis.

是以，一些 Safari 窗口、我的播客或音樂播放器、我的郵件客戶端、我的日曆客戶端，更不用說我日常使用的所有專業照片和視頻編輯應用程序了。

More importantly, I had more room to full screen apps.

更重要的是，我有更多空間來全屏使用應用程序。

This is where I really felt the benefit of the 16-inch, not so much with multitasking, but by taking apps like Final Cut Pro or Affinity Photo, putting them maximum size on the screen.

這是我真正感受到 16 英寸的好處的地方，不是多任務處理，而是將 Final Cut Pro 或 Affinity Photo 等應用程序放到螢幕的最大尺寸。

And then that allowed me to see more of my video scopes and more of my tools without necessarily cramping those applications together because on the 14-inch model, something like Final Cut Pro can feel cramped.

這樣我就能看到更多的視頻範圍和更多的工具，而不必把這些應用軟件擠在一起，因為在 14 英寸機型上，像 Final Cut Pro 這樣的應用軟件會感覺很擁擠。

Now, despite the 16-inch model costing more money for a larger display, that doesn't mean that the display quality is necessarily better, right?

現在，儘管 16 英寸機型的顯示屏更大，價格也更貴，但這並不意味著顯示屏的品質就一定更好，不是嗎？

Like these both have 120 Hertz mini LED displays.

就像這兩個都有 120 赫茲的微型 LED 顯示器一樣。

They both look absolutely fantastic, but I will admit there's just something about having the 16-inch display size that makes it feel more immersive.

它們看起來都非常棒，但我承認，16 英寸的顯示屏尺寸會讓人感覺更身臨其境。

Like when I sit back and watch a movie, the benefit of having that larger display, it just feels more immersive.

就像我坐在後面看電影一樣，有了更大的顯示屏，感覺更身臨其境。

And then even the speakers, right?

然後是揚聲器，對嗎？

Like they both have really good speakers, but that 16-inch just has a little extra thump and loudness to it that makes you sit back and go, wow, that's actually coming out of a laptop.

就像它們都有非常好的揚聲器一樣，但 16 英寸的揚聲器只是多了一點砰砰的響聲，讓你坐下來就會發現，哇，這居然是從筆記本電腦裡發出來的。

Now, yes, there are some trade-offs for this bigger display and better speakers, and obviously that is size and weight.

是的，為了獲得更大的顯示屏和更好的揚聲器，我們需要做出一些取捨，很明顯，這就是尺寸和重量。

Now, if you lay both MacBooks down flat in a table, you'll see that the 16-inch does take up a fair bit more room.

現在，如果把兩臺 MacBook 平放在一張桌子上，你會發現 16 英寸的 MacBook 所佔的空間確實要大一些。

But what I will have to say is that even though the 16-inch MacBook Pro is larger, compared to laptops from like five or 10 years ago, the difference really isn't as bad as you think for most use cases.

但我不得不說的是，儘管 16 英寸 MacBook Pro 與 5 年或 10 年前的筆記本電腦相比尺寸更大，但對於大多數使用情況來說，差別並沒有你想象的那麼大。

For example, any of the bags that I used to carry my 14-inch model in, well, they were big enough to fit my larger 16-inch model as well.

例如，我用來裝 14 英寸模型的任何袋子都足夠大，也能裝下較大的 16 英寸模型。

And while it may take up most of the airplane tray table, you can still technically fit the 16-inch MacBook Pro on it.

雖然它可能會佔據飛機托盤桌的大部分空間，但從技術上講，你仍然可以把 16 英寸 MacBook Pro 放上去。

Now, the thing that I don't like the most about the 16-inch model is the extra weight.

現在，我最不喜歡的是 16 英寸型號的額外重量。

My old 14-inch MacBook Pro weighs 3.5 pounds, and the new 16-inch is more than a pound heavier.

我的舊款 14 英寸 MacBook Pro 重 3.5 磅，而新款 16 英寸 MacBook Pro 重 1 磅多。

I already have to carry around a lot of gear in my bags, things like cameras, hard drives, microphones, and those little things start to add up in weight.

我的包裡已經裝了很多裝備，比如相機、硬盤、麥克風，這些小東西的重量開始增加。

So introducing an extra 1.3 pounds into the equation is not pleasant.

是以，額外增加 1.3 磅的重量並不令人愉快。

Now listen, it's not like I can't carry around the 16-inch MacBook Pro to like my car, or even walk around with it for an hour or something like that, but if I need to be on my feet for a while,

聽著，我並不是不能隨身攜帶 16 英寸 MacBook Pro，比如我的車，或者甚至帶著它走一小時之類的，但如果我需要站立一會兒的話、

I really do notice the extra weight on my back, and it is uncomfortable.

我確實感覺到背部的額外重量，這讓我很不舒服。

It's kind of changed the way that I use my laptop on the go, because with my 14-inch,

它改變了我外出使用筆記本電腦的方式，因為我的筆記本電腦是 14 英寸的、

I pretty much took this thing with me everywhere all the time because it wasn't that much of a pain to carry around.

我幾乎一直帶著它到處跑，因為攜帶它並不麻煩。

But with my 16-inch, that extra heft means I'm a little bit more selective on when I bring my laptop with me.

但對於我的 16 英寸筆記本電腦來說，額外的重量意味著我在攜帶筆記本電腦時會更加挑剔。

Now, one reason I'm willing to put up with that extra weight is because I wanted to get the M3 Max model of the 16-inch MacBook Pro.

現在，我願意忍受額外重量的一個原因是，我想購買 16 英寸 MacBook Pro 的 M3 Max 機型。

And initially, when I saw the specs of this thing were gonna go up to a 16-core CPU and a 40-core GPU,

起初，當我看到這東西的規格要達到 16 核 CPU 和 40 核 GPU、

I thought to myself, okay, that is going to be one powerful laptop.

我心想，好吧，這將是一臺功能強大的筆記本電腦。

And I was genuinely worried about the smaller size 14-inch model with that level of performance.

我真的很擔心尺寸較小的 14 英寸機型也能達到這樣的性能水準。

And I was kind of right and kind of wrong at the same time with this assessment.

我的這一判斷既對又錯。

So yeah, you can spec out the 14-inch and the 16-inch model exactly the same way.

是以，14 英寸和 16 英寸機型的規格完全相同。

So on paper, their performance is equivalent.

是以，從紙面上看，它們的性能相當。

And if you're only interested in specing your model out with an M3 Pro chip, you really don't have to watch this part of the video because both the 14 and 16-inch are really gonna perform pretty much exactly the same on the M3 Pro.

如果你只對配備 M3 Pro 芯片的機型感興趣，那你就真的沒必要看這部分視頻了，因為 14 英寸和 16 英寸機型在 M3 Pro 上的性能幾乎完全相同。

It's only the M3 Max model where you're going to notice more than just a performance difference.

只有在 M3 Max 型號上，您才會發現不僅僅是性能上的差異。

And honestly, based on all the tests I've seen and all the performance benchmark videos I watched,

老實說，根據我看過的所有測試和性能基準測試視頻、

I think real-world performance is really only going to take a little bit of a hit on edge case scenarios because the M3 Max 14-inch doesn't have the thermal capacity of the 16-inch and it will throttle a little more and be a little bit slower.

我認為實際性能只會在邊緣情況下受到一點影響，因為 M3 Max 14 英寸沒有 16 英寸的散熱能力，它的節流會更多一些，速度會更慢一些。

But I don't think you should make your decision based on performance.

但我認為你不應該根據表現來做決定。

Because again, for most tasks, these two computers are very, very close.

同樣，對於大多數任務來說，這兩臺電腦的性能非常非常接近。

However, there is something you should consider and that is fan noise and heat.

不過，有一點您需要考慮，那就是風扇的噪音和發熱問題。

One of the biggest benefits of switching over to my original M1 Max MacBook Pro was the fan noise.

改用原來的 M1 Max MacBook Pro 最大的好處之一就是風扇噪音小。

I rarely heard the fan spin up on my 14-inch model when I was using it.

我在使用 14 英寸機型時，很少聽到風扇轉動的聲音。

This thing was pretty much always running on silent even when I was doing more intensive tasks like exporting video.

即使在我進行輸出視頻等高強度工作時，這東西也幾乎總是在靜音狀態下運行。

And the laptop would barely even get warm when the fans were running.

風扇運轉時，筆記本電腦幾乎不會發熱。

It was so impressive at the time to see a smaller laptop not only perform well, but be silent most of the time doing it and also being able to spec both sizes exactly the same.

當時，看到一臺較小的筆記本電腦不僅性能出色，而且大部分時間都保持靜音狀態，而且兩種尺寸的規格完全相同，真是令人印象深刻。

Don't forget, on older Intel MacBook Pros, you couldn't do that.

別忘了，在舊款英特爾 MacBook Pro 上，你無法做到這一點。

The 13-inch model was always weaker.

13 英寸機型的性能始終較弱。

And it's sad to say this, but I believe that is no longer the case.

雖然這麼說很讓人難過，但我相信情況已經不再是這樣了。

If you are getting the M3 Max model, it is likely as you push the performance of the 14-inch model, you are more likely going to hear the fans over the 16-inch.

如果您購買的是 M3 Max 機型，那麼當您提升 14 英寸機型的性能時，很可能會聽到風扇的聲音，而不是 16 英寸機型的聲音。

I've watched multiple videos and talked to Patrick Tommaso who made a great video about his MacBook Pro.

我觀看了多個視頻，並與 Patrick Tommaso 交談過，他製作了一個關於 MacBook Pro 的精彩視頻。

And one of the things he mentioned to me is that he does hear the fans well up on his 14-inch model and sometimes said it could be as loud as the fan noise on older Intel MacBook Pros.

他向我提到的一件事是，在他的 14 英寸機型上，他確實能聽到風扇的聲音，有時還說可能和老款英特爾 MacBook Pro 的風扇噪音一樣大。

So this is something I didn't want to deal with on my MacBook Pro.

是以，這是我不想在 MacBook Pro 上遇到的問題。

And it's probably the biggest reason I'm glad

這可能是我感到高興的最大原因

I went for the 16-inch model because I hate hearing loud fan noise.

我選擇了 16 英寸的機型，因為我不喜歡聽到巨大的風扇噪音。

And so far, thankfully, I have not heard a peep out of my M3 Max 16-inch model.

值得慶幸的是，到目前為止，我的 M3 Max 16 英寸機型還沒有發出任何聲音。

And that's important to me because while my 14-inch MacBook Pro was kind of a side laptop I would use alongside a more powerful desktop Mac Studio,

這對我來說很重要，因為我的 14 英寸 MacBook Pro 只是一臺輔助筆記本電腦，我會將它與功能更強大的臺式機 Mac Studio 放在一起使用、

I bought this 16-inch model with the intention of replacing both my laptop and my desktop.

我買了這款 16 英寸機型，打算同時替換我的筆記本電腦和臺式機。

So hopefully, as my primary computer,

是以，我希望它能成為我的主要電腦、

I wanted to make sure that this thing had not only the performance headroom, but I also wanted to make sure that I didn't lose out on quality of life upgrades like hearing the fan noise or having my MacBook Pro get hot when I'm using intensive applications.

我不僅要確保它有足夠的性能空間，還要確保我的生活品質不會受到影響，比如聽到風扇噪音，或者在使用高強度應用程序時 MacBook Pro 發熱。

And so far, that hasn't happened.

到目前為止，這種情況還沒有發生。

So I've been very happy with the 16-inch.

是以，我對 16 英寸非常滿意。

Of course, one other thing I have to mention before I end this is one side benefit of going for a larger laptop this time is even more battery life.

當然，在結束這篇文章之前，我還得提一件事，那就是這次選擇更大尺寸筆記本電腦的一個好處就是電池續航時間更長。

Now, I don't know how accurate these impressions are because I am coming from an older 14-inch MacBook Pro.

現在，我不知道這些印象有多準確，因為我使用的是較舊的 14 英寸 MacBook Pro。

I've used it for two years.

我已經用了兩年。

The battery health on this thing has fallen below 90%.

這東西的電池電量已低於 90%。

So maybe my battery life impressions are also kind of colored by the fact that this is a brand new battery in this device.

是以，我對電池續航時間的印象可能也是因為這是該設備的全新電池。

But basically, oh man, the battery life on the 16-inch model, it just keeps on going and going and going.

但基本上，天哪，16 英寸機型的電池續航時間，就是這樣一直持續下去。

Like, I don't ever think about battery life with this laptop.

就像我用這檯筆記本電腦從來不考慮電池壽命一樣。

And what I mean by that is I've been using it portably and I do all my work on it.

我的意思是，我一直在便攜地使用它，並在上面完成所有工作。

And then, you know, maybe I connect it up to my display and my display automatically charges it.

然後，我把它連接到顯示器上，顯示器就會自動為它充電。

And then I go use it again portably.

然後，我再去便攜式地使用它。

And during all this time using my 16-inch model, not once have I looked at the battery life and went, oh, I better go charge this thing.

在使用我的 16 英寸機型的這段時間裡，我沒有一次在看了電池續航時間後說：哦，我最好去給這東西充電。

Like, I'm able to get all my work done.

比如，我可以完成所有的工作。

And then I go connect it to my display for, you know, to get a bigger display and get my work done there.

然後我把它連接到我的顯示器上，你知道，這樣就能獲得更大的顯示屏，在那裡完成我的工作。

And basically for me at this point, it is just like, there's no battery anxiety with this device, which hopefully means that I'm gonna be more productive with this laptop because I could just keep working on it and working on it and working on it.

基本上，對我來說，這臺設備沒有電池焦慮症，希望這意味著我使用這檯筆記本電腦的效率會更高，因為我可以不停地工作，工作，再工作。

And that means more videos for you, which means you get to see more of this beautiful face.

這就意味著你能看到更多的視頻，也意味著你能看到更多這張美麗的臉龐。

And I get to make more videos for you, which is something I wanna do because I wanna be more productive.

我還能為你們製作更多視頻，這也是我想做的事，因為我想提高工作效率。

I wanna make better videos.

我想製作更好的視頻。

And that's kind of like the, you know, ideal here.

這就像是，你知道的，這裡的理想。

You get a new laptop, you get a new tool.

有了新筆記本電腦，就有了新工具。

It has some better things going for it.

它有一些更好的地方。

And those quality of life improvements means that you can get your work done faster and more efficiently.

生活品質的提高意味著您可以更快、更高效地完成工作。

And with battery life, that's kind of true here.

電池續航時間也是如此。

So yeah, did I make a mistake moving over from the 14-inch MacBook Pro to the 16-inch model?

那麼，從 14 英寸 MacBook Pro 升級到 16 英寸機型，我是否犯了錯？

I don't think so, but I will admit, there are some things I don't like about this bigger laptop.

我不這麼認為，但我得承認，這款更大的筆記本電腦也有一些我不喜歡的地方。

But I think this year in particular, with the M3 Max model that I picked,

但我認為，特別是今年，我選擇了 M3 Max 型號、

I would probably have been more disappointed going for an M3 Max 14-inch model.

如果是 M3 Max 14 英寸機型，我可能會更失望。

For me at least, the pros of the 16-inch far outweigh the cons.

至少對我來說，16 英寸的優點遠遠大於缺點。

However, I will also say, my biggest potential regret right now might be wondering if maybe I should have just stuck with my M1 Max 14-inch for another year.

不過，我也要說，我現在最大的潛在遺憾可能就是在想，我是否應該再堅持用一年我的 14 英寸 M1 Max。

Because honestly, this thing is still really so powerful.

因為老實說，這東西真的還是太強大了。

And honestly, it has aged gracefully.

老實說，它已經優雅地老去。

It had the perfect size, weight, power, and thermal combination that I think might make it one of the best MacBook Pro releases ever.

它擁有完美的尺寸、重量、功率和散熱組合，我認為這可能會使它成為有史以來發布的最好的 MacBook Pro 之一。

And based on Apple's recent strategy of making the Max chips even more powerful than the Pro variants, this might be the norm going forward, at least for the next few years.

根據蘋果公司最近的策略，Max 芯片的功能甚至比 Pro 芯片更強大，這可能是未來的常態，至少在未來幾年是這樣。

And the 14-inch could be a laptop that, yes, gets more powerful, but also has drawbacks of that power hitting a ceiling that it previously didn't.

而 14 英寸的筆記本電腦雖然性能更強，但也有其不足之處，那就是它的功率達到了以前沒有達到的上限。

And when you think about if that makes it a better product in terms of real-world benefits, like I try to cover in this video, more than just, you know, it's a more powerful laptop, it might kind of be a step backwards.

當你考慮這是否會使它成為一款在實際效益方面更好的產品時，就像我在本視頻中試圖涵蓋的那樣，不僅僅是，你知道，它是一款功能更強大的筆記本電腦，它可能是一種倒退。

And I'm not sure how I feel about that.

我不知道自己對此作何感想。

So yeah, listen, Apple Silicon's still great, but this was such a good laptop.

是的，聽著，蘋果硅仍然很棒，但這款筆記本電腦真的很不錯。

And it served me really well.

它讓我受益匪淺。

But yeah, that's the video.

沒錯，就是這段視頻。

That's why I chose the 16-inch model over the 14-inch MacBook Pro.

這就是我選擇 16 英寸機型而非 14 英寸 MacBook Pro 的原因。

And hopefully it helped you out.

希望對你有所幫助。

If it did, please give me a like.

如果有，請給我一個贊。
