Switching from the 16" MacBook Pro i9 to the 13" MacBook Pro M1

In this video I explain my experience with switching to the new 13″ M1 MacBook Pro after almost 10 years with first the 15.4″ and then the 16″ MacBook Pros. There are a lot of things I really love about the new 13″ M1 MacBook Pro, but also a couple of things I kinda miss.

Spoiler alert: In the meantime I ordered myself the new 14″ MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro. So… probably an update on this soon as well!

Who I am:
My name is Jasper, I’m an entrepreneur and marketing consultant. When I am not working on my business I love to play with the latest tech, travel to new places (or NYC, which is always a great idea), hone my camera skills in photography and videography or wander through an art museum.

But more than the things I do or have done, I’m a person. I have a deep sense of empathy and I enjoy connecting with people; that’s why I do what I do. I’m also a guest lecturer in B2B marketing and Digital Marketing at my alma mater. I thrive on the balance of giving back to those around me, just as much as I enjoy touring the wines of Saint-Émilion.

In my videos I share the things I learn and experience on this journey of becoming a better entrepreneur, marketer or just a better person.

What Gear Do I Use?
Most of my videos are shot with a Sony a7iii. Sometimes I also use my iPhone 13 Pro, Canon 70D, Canon G7X or GoPro Hero 9.
