- The new M1 Macbook Air vs the 2020 Intel Macbook Pro. It sounds too good to be true but it looks like the M1 macbook air is better than the intel Macbook pro.
I'm a professional videographer and photographer and I'll be testing the performance in Lightroom and Final Cut on both these macs. Just for fun I compare my 2014 iMac to these laptops too. Some of the results were surprising.

😂
This is what I wanted. I'm stuck between an air 2020 with M1 chip and older pros with Intel
get the m1/m2 base air
This review is exactly what i needed, thanks man!
love this review. very straightforward and honest. thanks!
Really useful comparisons and greatly appreciated.
A video I was looking for 😍 Thanks Man
Thank you for the comparison!
Woah, thanks for the detailed video! Great real world test! Im subscribing to you!
Great stuff Alex (if I could LIKE it twice, I would) and a unique 'real-world' comparison of the two computers, based on your creator needs and work product.
I read an article recently about an android-based camera (I believe it was Leica) that has Adobe PS built-in/on-board, allowing full PS edits within the device.
Granted, you would have to use a blue tooth/external keyboard/tablet in order to edit effectively, but I think we can all see the writing on the wall - especially as AI advances, with automated workflows, and cloud-based compute to augment the processing component.
The next 20 years are going to be a WILD ride!
(see comments below)
Yep I'm really excited about the emergence of machine learning being integrated into these systems. It will take some time, but when that's able to predict what we want to do it will save hours and hours that I normal waste on repetitive tasks.
great review,,,,
Great review. Awesome job.
looking for a long term review on the same. Is the no fan on M1 Air, effecting your performance at all?
I have been using the air under some really heavy loads lately. Exporting timelapses, importing footage, exporting videos all at the same time and I have noticed a slow down in performance after like 5 hours of this. It takes quite a bit for thermal throttling to take a big toll.
Great comparison!!! Thank you heaps!!! You are helping me to choose as I was unsure of the potentials of the M1 MacBook Air. Thank you for the detailed and real-world comparison!!! 🙏❤
Ohhh btw! Does your M1 MacBook Air have 16GB of RAM and 1TB of HD???
It has 16GB of RAM but just 256GB of storage. I'd recommend at least 500GB I'm always running out of space.
how 8gb mba M12020 for editing vidio? wort it?
I just got my 8/512GB MacBook Air M1 last week for $1,230. Originally aiming to 16/256GB but it costs $1,550 in my country. Didn't go with the base 8/256GB model cause the swap issue (some said it's been fixed after 11.4 update, but not completely fixed). And the first heavy thing I did wasn't editing 4K videos. Instead, I made a simple scene in Blender that was actually running pretty good! I used Cycles, and it performed not so much different than my desktop with AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB. Except, this is a fan less, noiseless, power efficient ultrabook! And using Blender and Opera browser at the same time, the RAM usage only got to around 6,5GB max. Loved it!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that it was running only on battery
Wait what is the problem about 8/256gb model?
@@mrtoasticles7144 really no problem tho. It's just because the storage on Apple Silicon based Macs are almost impossible to replace, the smaller the storage, the faster it'll wear out
@@mrtoasticles7144 "swap issue" I meant in my first comment was about the 8GB of RAM (either 256 or 512 SSD), sometimes isn't just enough. And when the system needs more RAM, it'll swap/borrow some from the storage/SSD. Good thing is, Apple Silicon SSD are pretty fast enough to keep up with RAM speed. Bad thing is, swap memory will wear the storage faster rather than using 16GB of RAM for example. So, the bigger size of the storage, the longer it should last. Cause far as I know, general estimated use time for SSD is known as TBW (terra bytes written). Which usually doubles as we double the storage amount.
I like your speech style, Not loud like others
Hey! I have the early 2015 Macbook air with 2,2 ghz i7 but 8gb ram, i use it all the time, mostly for video editing. I don’t have the money to buy the best macbook out there, but I’d like to ask you, do you think an upgrade to Macbook air 2020 1,6 ghz i5 with 16gb ram would worth it? I don’t know how much of a big deal the processors are. Please help me :)
that would depend how happy you are with the performance of your current computer. If it's getting the job done, I'd say wait until you have the extra cash. If the footage you are editing is bogging down the system a lot then I think the new macbook air would be worth the upgrade.
Bro this is the dopest review I’ve seen Ever!
Thanks Bro!
Nice comparison. I did return the base model mbp 2020 for base model mba m1. Could you make a short brightness comparison side by side if you have time? I know there is 100 nits difference but I can't find a place to compare between two. Thanks in advance!
This is a fantastic request/request Em! Likewise, I would be curious to see 'how much' correction in the display profiles is required to balance the two displays using an App/Tool like X-Rite's Color Monkey, in particular V4 Profiles.
Sorry but I just boxed up the pro to sell on Ebay. Both computers had the brightness turned up halfway in the videos if that helps. I haven't noticed much of a difference between the two.
the difference is only really present if your outside and working in direct sunlight otherwise the MBA m1 the brightness is more then enough hope this helps :D
I’m wondering of getting a MacBook but I don’t know if I should get the M1 Air or the Intel Pro which do you recommend?
M1 air 1000%
@@caerwynross593 why?
if you sum up the timings for expoerting those jpgs overall time m1 took was still shorter than intel though second and third round was lost
The big advantage the intel MBP has over the M1 based MBP is the ability to run Windows Bootcamp.
The air can’t run windows on boot camp?
Hi... Which one would you recommend for a student.. both are at the same price.
I would go with whatever is cheaper but since they are the same then I’d recommend the m1 air.
did you get the 8gb or 16gb of ram? I got the air M1 8gb base model. would love to hear your updates on this.
I got the 16gb. If you’re going to be doing professional work I would suggest the 16gb model.
2 years later review ?
This is literally exactly what I needed to hear & see! I have had my 2020 m1 MacBook Air for a bit but my dumba** bought it with 256 GB because i wasn’t thinking. So I was able to get a hold of a 2020 MacBook Pro with more storage AND more RAM but it wasn’t M1, it’s intel, so I was weary about whether it’d be up to par with the expectations my m1 air set. But this was super helpful !Thanks dude !!!!
What did you later do ?
@@fakolujoboluwatife3126 I have both now. I use the intel MacBook Pro with more storage for my storage-consuming video work and use the m1 macbook Air for less storage-consuming, every day work. ‘Tis the Apple way, I suppose.
@@Jjusmaxx sorry just curious cause I’ve been using the 2017 MacBook Pro which was decent cause I just use it for coding so I’m thinking of upgrading now so I’m stuck deciding between the 2020 MacBook Pro with the touchbar and all intel or the m1 MacBook Air
@@Jjusmaxx cause I was scrolling through Walmart I saw a MacBook Pro 2020 core i7 32ram and 512gb storage for around 750 and also the normal MacBook Air m1 256gb storage for 699 I’ve been thinking for like a week now for the one I should go for
@@fakolujoboluwatife3126 what I will tell you is that they’re both very similar, both very good computers, but there is a noticeable difference in the processing speed of the M1 versus the Intel. I love the touch bar on the pro and i think it’s crazy they don’t make them anymore. But the real answer is- if you need more storage for the same price and are willing to sacrifice a little bit of processing speed (i.e. time) then go for the Intel with more storage, as it will do what you need it to and is the better value for your money. Otherwise, the MacBook Air is also great but will have half the storage for the same price.
*"M1 intel vs Air pro"*
you sound like you just came back to life
1.5x speed, thank me later!
So much regret oozing out of his face....
Lol so M1 wins?
No
