I can't imagine anyone working with 6K+ footage would ever expect to work on a 13" lightweight portable laptop as their main driver. That seems silly to me. The fact it can reasonably handle 4k is incredible and more than expected really.
@L-dragonix Mate if you can't afford to replace your Macbook every 2-3 years, then what's the point. It's not like im gonna own one macbook for 20 years.
@@sydneytomlinson Alright. i just ordered one im very excited. For me 256gb probably also is enough because i have 1tb of onedrive cloud for all my files. Thanks for the reply though!
The M1 processor line is just amazing for what it offers. Really good battery life, relatively high performance, and the ease of use + stability of MacOS. I just use Parsec to connect to my desktop computer or use a cloud computing service for heavier compute tasks.
Part of the reason that swap memory still performs so well is that Macs won’t really swap anything that is in active working memory unless it absolutely has to. It’s swapping stuff that it might be using, but not nearly as often. The SSDs are ridiculously fast, but there is still an access latency that is estimated at around 100-300K CPU cycles, which is still many orders of magnitude slower than the ~200-500 cycles of an average RAM operation. (And it’s not just the SSD access latency that has to be worried about. It’s also context switches when the OS has to take control to fetch the memory before handing the CPU back to the app. These context switches will take several thousand cycles on their own). As slow as this is, it’s still worlds faster than the millions of cycles required for hard drive swap operations, and these Macs are also faster than most other SSDs. It’s a fast enough that it can throw anything that it isn’t actively using at any given moment (browser tabs, sections of programs containing memory that isn’t used much, etc) and when you need it again, it fetches it from swap fast enough to be more or less unnoticeable unnoticeable from a UI standpoint. Memory compression also plays a huge part. Mac OS does a good job of this, and can squash memory quite substantially and can do so much faster than the swap operations. Still far slower than RAM operations (RAM compression still takes several thousand cycles due to context switches and the need to compress/decompress 4K pages at a time), but still much faster than SWAP and the M1’s processing power helps to make this faster than on Intel era processors. The end result is that Mac OS has plenty of options as far as what to do when RAM gets right. It can afford to put stuff that isn’t used quite as often into swap or memory compression and the hit is smaller when it needs it again. You can generally push the memory pretty hard on a Mac as a result, but it’s not quite the same as just “slower RAM” - the OS fundamentally treats it differently and Mac OS is just managing it all in a very smart way. In general, running out of RAM is rarely an issue on these new M1 macs, but there are certain algorithms that will push it pretty hard. It all depends on how often Mac OS needs to use the memory it’s needing to swap out. If it’s browser tabs and sleeping OS services, or maybe mostly dormant sections of memory for different apps, the swap is pretty much unnoticeable. For most of us, this is the case and the Mac won’t miss a beat once you fill up your RAM. But if it’s LZMA on ludicrous settings or video rendering, it might be tighter. I’ve only managed to really push my Mac to its limits one time, and that was with three virtual machines, several NodeJS processes, about 30 browser tabs, and about 15 other apps open. I pushed it quite hard before 8GB was no longer enough. These things perform like a beast.
I am an m1 macbook pro user and I have to point out that the fan rarely turns on so the issue with having macbook with a fan on a bed or sheets is negligible.
Its an amazing laptop. Been using it for a few weeks now and everything is so fast and smooth. I had some files that were in my old laptop (Lenovo, i5, 8gb RAM) so I went back to retrieve them, and from the moment I turned it on, to getting the file, and accessing chrome to send the file online, took me 30 minutes (I am not even joking about this). Made me realize how amazing the Macbook M1 Air is when the same process took just that few clicks here and there to complete. The only problem I had with it was during the first week when transitioning from a Windows laptop to a Mac. The trackpad, keyboard, shortcuts and all were unfamiliar but now its much better and a breeze when it comes to work completion.
Hey, I'm thinking of buying an entry level MBA M1 16GB RAM for college, mostly I'd do browsing, some beginner level video editing and coding. Will you suggest it?
I don’t think you’ll go wrong with the decision. I’m a university student as well. Excel, Word and some of my biotech related programs run very smoothly. Mine has 8gb of RAM and it’s already blazing fast. Do keep an eye on your storage options. I opted for 512gb as a long term buffer and very quickly almost half is full (it’s probably because i synced my iPhone stuff into the Mac). Just keep in mind that if you’re coming from a windows laptop like me, then give yourself a week or two to get used to the trackpad, shortcuts etc.
@@kdr9608 I've the option of either upgrading the RAM to 16GB or the Storage to 512GB, I'm confused as to which should I choose. The RAM makes it future proof to some extent. While I can always get an external SSD for a price that's cheaper than what Apple offers, the same wouldn't possible in case of the RAM.
@@shishirkumar9570 Yeap you’ve got a point there. And also since you’ll be using it for video editing and coding, opting for a better RAM should be a reasonable option. And if you were to edit videos and save the files into the Mac, pretty sure it’ll hog a lot of storage so an external SSD may be the better long term choice. I didn’t opt for a stronger RAM but a 512gb storage option because I knew I’d be backing up my phone in this Mac. The phone is 256gb and there’s already like 150+ gb used up after year 😆 So surely in a few more years time my backup sizes would only grow alongside the files etc I will have in my Mac.
Excuse me, but how can you have an opinion if you don't own it yet? Sorry for being nit-picky but really - to make rational decision, make sure to un-bias yourself before spending money on it. Consider getting the Pro version if you'll make any extensive use of the machine (resource-heavy)
I like how the cons are "isn't a supercomputer" and "you can't replace the SSD manually", two things that are nonissues for 99% of users. The only real con of this thing is the ports. Other than that it's the best £999 (or less!) you'll ever spend.
Before anyone says it - yes this setup is inspired by Dave2D :) I've been using these tube lights in my videos since the channel had 5k subs so thought I would pop them in some A-roll too.
I just had the macbook air for 3 days now. Im coming from a windows laptop that cost less than half of the mac, i3 4gb ram 400gb hdd, its not the best laptop out there. And man, switching to macbook, the experience is phenomenal. Its blazing fast, multitasking never felt this buttery smooth, huge battery, nice screen, loud and clear speakers.. its just better in every aspect compared to my old laptop. I still have a lot to learn, the file management still confuses me but everything else is perfectly fine. Im really satisfied with my purchase
@@alexceleste7778 im surely happy with it but please bear in mind i dont speak for every mba users haha.. since i am a college student, it works well with my needs, i dont do something crazy with it (yet) so im not sure how it’ll do with someone else’s needs (professionals probably better off with mbp i guess to be safe) but yeah for me its all good
Always excellent content, have been using the M1 air for about 5 months, was primarily an Windows user and I still enjoy my Windows laptop, but this M1 at the price point is just running circles around it to the point to where unless I believe you really invest in an higher end Windows laptop you just want see the benefit,. I use the mod and I admit I do light video editing, not hardcore but the battery life, the performance especially with the mod is just through the roof, it just seems to be the best alternative for most people unless you're doing heavy lifting, then the MacBook Pro could take a lot of that weight, as always keep the fantastic videos coming, always informative and interesting content!
I just got an M1 Macbook Air and I'm overall pretty impressed. This is my first Mac and I've experimented with Hackintosh, but that's it. I don't have any affinity for Apple products and I personally despise iOS. With all that said, the M1 Air is the real deal. I thought Rosetta 2 would suck and I'm really surprised by how far Apple was able to push the ARM architecture. There are plenty of things I don't like as well, but most of that comes down to little quirks with Mac OS rather than the hardware and performance of the Air.
Another con is the lack of optimized apps. Some of the biggest do have an M1 version, but there are plenty that don't. Some still work, but they either hit the system hard, or they are full of bugs.
I bought an M1 Mac book air a year ago, and now I feel envy for an upcoming release of M2 Mac because of their better performance and improved efficiency.
I spent a lot of time researching this when they first came out, and I bit the bullet for an M1 MBP with 16GB/1TB. I use it for light video work, and my IT job - it has been an incredible tool for work and play and at no point have I ever been left feeling like I'm missing out. The hype of it being a "powerhouse" is not wholly incorrect, when comparing base model M1 MBA against similarly priced competitors, they are pretty much class leaders and often punch above their weight. $1350AUD is not a lot of money, but oh boy you sure do get a LOT of computer.
yup. still in love with my M1 Pro 16GB 256GB SSD and it's nearly one year old. if people studied these videos they would see there isn't a huge need for M1 Pro, M1 Max or M1 Ultra. sure, they are better. but the base M1 is god.
@@trapbeatproducer Yep even 11 months after I posted this, I still use it as my daily driver. The M1 and now M2 are still kings in the segment, there is still no device on the market that can maintain competitive performance on battery power.
@@joytech23 I was in battery saver mode for a couple of months, only realised the other day. It's like owning a brand new laptop again 🥹 I'll make a couple more beats then I can say it is 100% the laptop for me. But I think I'm good with what I threw at it yesterday. It doesn't care how many instruments I play - it doesn't slow down or crash. It is the BEST piece of tech I have ever bought! Ever.
@@trapbeatproducer I did the EXACT same thing! Had it like that for months and I only noticed because my Windows VM was a bit slower than usual. I agree, it is also the best piece of tech I have ever bought. It made all of my hobbies, and things I love to do portable and I'm not tied to a desk or charger anymore. No more battery anxiety if I'm out for an entire day, now that's the kind of freedom that other computers can't quite offer. Also it is almost always dead silent, and when I return to my gaming laptops I'm always a bit surprised when I hear the fans lol

Yo its been a while since I have checked one of your videos, and I just wanted to give you probs on the improvements you have made to your video style, editing etc. Its always been on a good level but you have really managed to still improve on that so - good job ;)
I just started using Photoshop and going back and forth on my Macbook Air M1 and Ryzen 5 3600x Desktop gaming PC, I have to say the M1is superior in so many cases. Not just Photoshop, Apple Silicon optimized apps run insane.
@Dhruv Mohabir I chose the Macbook Air with 512GB storage (with that version you also get another gpu core) and stuck with the default 8GB ram because of swap memory.
I see your being smart, I always looked at the pros, but some of the cons were some of the biggest things I would do, 45 days until I get my MacBook Air 16gb LESSGO
I accept everything that’s been said here. But, I’m afraid that my battery life on the m1 MacBook Air wasn’t as good as it was used to be when I first bought it. It’s been almost 7 months since I’ve bought this. Maybe I’m alone in this owing to my usage pattern but it’s a thing to look out for, nonetheless.
Well my macbook is 8 moth old and battery health is 100% and no issues, maybe you charged 100% and used till it died probably, that will make your battery loose energy so i persionally charge when its 40% and discharge when 80%
@@samio2944 What about your Mac's battery cicles after 8 months? Do you always let it discharge till 40% or mostly keep it plugged in? Appreciate the info!
@@Logophiling yeah i let it discharge till 40% and plug in till 80% and macbook knows i always unplug when its 80% so its slows down to 15watt charging speed when its 70%
The reason it has the hype isn’t because it is an objective power house but the fact that in its class nothing compares on battery life, performance, and price
You should make a video testing the M1 Mac for engineering software such as AutoCAD, Tekla Structural Designer, and Idea Statica. I’ve been wanting to get one of the new M1 macs for a while now but I’m not sure how it will run these softwares, even if it needs to be through Parallels. Every other video tests the Mac for video and photo editing, but that is not something I would use the computer for. If you could help that would be great.
I only know about Fusion 360 though, and my friend told that it works perfectly fine! AutoCad also might work well, since it's from the same company. For windows softwares, ig softwares like Ansys would work through parallels czcams.com/video/ReQQdJtIJdI/video.html
Agree. I wonder how well M1 would perform when using Tekla, Staad, Revit, and other engineering software. I do know AutoCad is now supported. Still 50:50 about buying one.
Depends on what you are looking for. If you want maximum portability get the M1 Mac. If you are working mostly at your desk get a more powerful windows machine like Razer Blade/Asus G15 with 3060 at least. About the software, AutoCad 2D didn't perform as fast as my 3 years old windows last time I checked it on my friends M1 Mac, but it worked. Revit, 3Ds Max, Maya were worse via a windows Virtual Machine(only way available now), I believe if we tried 3D modelling on AutoCad, it would be bad too. Simply said there's is no replacement for a laptop with a good GPU with a M1 Mac for Architecture/Civil softwares. But if you really want to make M1 work, you can follow the workarounds on internet.
I work on a Windows computer with good hardware for me, works great, it is absolutely quiet because I turned off the fans, I don’t play games, I don’t edit pro video right now.. But I also need a small laptop for carrying and portable work, and I think that Macbook Air or Windows Oled Ultrabook is better (2k display, lighter than MacBook air).. What I like the most is the absence of a fan and the long battery life of the MacBook air.

You could have mentioned that M1 Macs can't run bootcamp due to the different chip architecture, so some windows stuff like steam gaming are off limits
Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts about the chip. A bit TOO overhyped. But i like the sleekness and good battery life. Eager to see what intel and amd will do with arm :)
I’m planning to buy MacBook Air M1 in ₹63000 rupees. The warranty is expiring on 7th October and seller don’t have bill box so should I buy it? It’s battery cycle count is 22.
LOL the lack of fans would mean you need to use this in an even more well ventilated place so that the heat can escape as it's not being pushed out or cool air pulled in.
Good unique points that I haven't really seen emphasized on other channels. Glad your channel is growing. It's difficult to have a unique view on tech stuff since there's so many people in the tech youtube space but keep up the good videos.
why with 30+tabs opening in safari and some native apple apps open I already started to notice some lag and stutter? The memory pressure is yellow all the time , the swap memory is about 2.5G. As I can remember (very possible my memory is wrong) when I bought it brand-new it was more smooth?
I am an m1 macbook pro user and honestly the fan rarely turns on if that, even while doing some video/photo editing. To be honest it really only turns on slightly during longer (and I mean like 5 or 6+ hours) periods of use time. The fan really shouldn't be a con to the pro and pro to the air. I do agree the air is great, but if your looking for the sustain, like heavy use/long period of time use, look into the pro (which does have a longer lasting battery may I add; I can go 3 days sometimes on one charge). I'll add that the performance on both machines is amazing and can't really separate the two aside from the base model pro gaining an extra gpu core over the base model air. The sustain is really the major point with the pro against the air in my eyes, with the brighter screen, better battery life and updates keyboard being a plus (the touch bar for me is whatever bc in the end u still have to look down to operate function keys, not just the touch bar).
You say that now. That was the same case for my mbp from 2017 as the device gets older I think the fans turn on more frequently as the software gets more demanding and the hardware ages
I think that thing with the swap you said is not entirely correct. You can find other machines with fast SSD that will choke under heavy load on the RAM. The thing that make m1 fast on swapped pages, is the very short distance between the CPU and the RAM compared to regular computer.
I don’t get how the M1 Pro is worse on a soft surface. The fan only kicks in on the M1 Pro when the system gets hotter than this fanless model’s threshold. They’re equal on light tasks but surely it’s better to have some air flow when it gets warm rather than just throttling when that heat just radiates outward.
The XPS 13 might not be as powerful, but I'm not buying a thin and light in 2021 without a touchscreen. The performance delta does not impact my use case at all. Also the fact that I can replace the SSD, battery, with minimum effort. Apple makes disposable products.
Dude, what's stopping you from working with a windows computer? Because you think that an apple product leaves something to be desired for you , you just keep working with your windows cabinet . More and more people are switching to mac , even the users who were real apple haters 2 years ago , are overjoyed with their mac , how would that come …… . To each his own . A touchscreen on a destop or laptap is very inconvenient to use, but hey, what's stopping you from buying it? no one .
@@Theo5555 as much as I love Apple products and I just got an M1 Mac mini, saying that a touchsceen is very inconvenient makes zero sense. Do you realize that you don't have to touch the screen, that this is an additional option? It's like saying a stylus on an iPad is very inconvenient. Then don't use it! And above all a touch screen makes even more sense in a convertible device and in devices with pen support, which again are all touchscreen devices
Only con for me: ain’t a gaming pc + 99% of my steam library wouldn’t work on it cause it’s a Mac. 😒 … but really impressed that I spent $900 and was able to do some of the same editing tasks my rigged out PC does. Mac is really trying to bring me back over from PC again and it’s working

are you sure the ssd will die after few years ?? that's the major point to consider before buying.. should anyone even buy this ?? how long the ssd will last approximately ??
Thank you for this video. There is so much hype these days that the M1 sounds like a super machine. You don't know whether to trust this or not. Any computer can browse the web and edit videos. So you should assess your use case. Not everyone is a CZcamsr and needs this kind machine. A 600$ pc can do or an xps might fit someone's needs as well as an m1. Good review
i’m getting my first ever Macbook M1, but which one should i get: M1 Macbook Air with 16gb ram or the base model of M1 Macbook air with 8gb ram? Im going to use it for school....word, excel, powerpoint, Discord, browsing, Netflix and youtube.
The new generation M-series Macbook with solder on ram and hard drive or it power component break down after 2 to 3 years. If apple expect the consumer to get a new rather to repair it, than apple had to sell it product cheap enough if it don't meet it quality.

And planning to buy after my exams.. my work will be classes, video editing for youtube , coding basic stuff, some short movie editing, etc.. and I wish that as I am saving money for it, it should last 5-6 years at least.. coz not everyone is that much rich.. hope you understand my concern... Please suggest or make video on this.. or alternative to ssd fail..
Always look at Apple refurbished to see if a products is good or bad. Just saying if a product is good there won’t be much stock of refurbished macs. Since Apple had to remove their reviews page due too many bad reviews by users …..the refurbished page is the best to get a gauge. Don’t buy is the word on the street
Although your points are certainly valid, the fact still remains that because the M1 is a custom arm chip from Apple, users cannot run either Linux nor Windows natively. Parallels and virtualization is still the only available option; this means that whenever Apple decides to drop support for the M1 chip in the future, your only option is to upgrade...planned obsolescence in a nutshell. If you're planning to run Windows or Linux, you're far better off buying a non apple branded computer, regardless of the supposed advantages of the M1 versus either intel or AMD. Everyone praises the MacBook and never mentions the fact that without Apple continuing to support it with software updates, the consumer has zero ability to repurpose any M1 mac with a native Linux or Windows installation, once Apple support ends. Left this comment in another video, but think it's nonetheless valid here.
Once Apple support ends, usually after 6-7 years, most people will have upgraded, but those that do not, a tiny minority can still use their Macs, they just only get important security updates, not new yearly upgrades.
@@andyH_England perhaps, but my point is that it’s your computer, purchased with your hard earned money. Why should Apple be allowed to entirely dictate its path to obsolescence? My 2014 MacBook Pro costs me nearly $2000 at launch and will stop update after Big Sur. With security patches likely to follow within the next 2 years. It’s still in good condition. Thankfully, because of the intel processor, I can run a full native windows install, after Apple abandons support. Macs have now effectively become iPad and iPhone; completely useless once updates end. For this reason alone, I’d buy a non Apple pc instead.
@@mw7967 MS and Google also have 6-7 years of OS support so Apple is similar and as you can say on the Intel Macs you can stick Windows or Linux on. Who is to say that in six years time Apple Silicon Macs will not support Linux? I know there are projects to get Linux running on ARM for consumers and if MS gets its act together maybe WOA? It is very harsh to make these claims in the early days of a new project?
@@andyH_England Actually Google chrome books from 2018 onward will be supported with updates for 8.5 years minimum. Even after support ends, users can run a native Linux distribution or can even run Windows natively on intel based Chrome books. Yes, in 6 or 8 years the M1 may support Linux, but the reality is that as of now they do not. As it stands, for me a Windows laptop and in many cases even a chrome book are a far better long term investment for the money. You're incorrect regarding Windows OS support. Windows 10 was released in 2015 and will be supported by Microsoft through 2026. That's 11 years of end to end support. If Microsoft and Google can be this transparent regarding support length, what's Apples excuse? The fact that Apple consumers must wait for a yearly developer conference to find out if Apple will continue to support their hardware is unacceptable, given the premium they charge for their devices.
Can anyone tell me after how many year later the sad will die if I will be using it for coding and little bit photoshop and normal youtube plz can anyone help me .

I don’t think you’ll go wrong with the decision. I’m a university student as well. Excel, Word and some of my biotech related programs run very smoothly. Mine has 8gb of RAM and it’s already blazing fast. Do keep an eye on your storage options. I opted for 512gb as a long term buffer and very quickly almost half is full (it’s probably because i synced my iPhone stuff into the Mac). Just keep in mind that if you’re coming from a windows laptop like me, then give yourself a week or two to get used to the trackpad, shortcuts etc.
@@kdr9608 I've the option of either upgrading the RAM to 16GB or the Storage to 512GB, I'm confused as to which should I choose. The RAM makes it future proof to some extent. While I can always get an external SSD for a price that's cheaper than what Apple offers, the same wouldn't possible in case of the RAM.
@@shishirkumar9570 Yeap you’ve got a point there. And also since you’ll be using it for video editing and coding, opting for a better RAM should be a reasonable option. And if you were to edit videos and save the files into the Mac, pretty sure it’ll hog a lot of storage so an external SSD may be the better long term choice.
I didn’t opt for a stronger RAM but a 512gb storage option because I knew I’d be backing up my phone in this Mac. The phone is 256gb and there’s already like 150+ gb used up after year 😆 So surely in a few more years time my backup sizes would only grow alongside the files etc I will have in my Mac.
@@kdr9608 Got you sir. I was really looking for a Mac owner to have this discussion with. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your honesty about this machine. I feel other people have tried to hide the real dimensions of its performance.
Another benefit of the fanless design is that it doesn’t risk accumulating dust inside the machine. So no need to periodically clean it out.
Recently switched from windows to mac and I'm already enjoying everything about it.
0:18 🔊 Now there are hundreds of videos like this so Im gonna talk about key points.
Ur seriously so honest man !!!
Idc about the cons, imo its a perfect laptop in the market rn. I am saving up for this one(halfway there) hope to get it soon :)
Definitely worth it. Battery life is insane, if I have to nitpick this thing I will say about port, but we have dongle anyway so we move.
Excuse me, but how can you have an opinion if you don't own it yet? Sorry for being nit-picky but really - to make rational decision, make sure to un-bias yourself before spending money on it.
Consider getting the Pro version if you'll make any extensive use of the machine (resource-heavy)
i am saving money to buy this laptop or upcomicing mac to replace my 6 year old dell laptop. i hope is enough to use blender and coding
I bought mine direct from Apple refurbished….entry model $850. Just like new…battery had only two cycles. Great deal
@@MehOccor probably the touchbar that keeps them from preferring the Pro over the Air
I like how the cons are "isn't a supercomputer" and "you can't replace the SSD manually", two things that are nonissues for 99% of users.
The only real con of this thing is the ports. Other than that it's the best £999 (or less!) you'll ever spend.
And you can't play games
@@karatekid8312 yeah it's not for gamers sadly
It’s an issue because it’s a part that will fail earlier than the rest of the machine if you use it more heavily. Especially with swap.
Those tube lights in the background are looking great
Dave2D vibes
@@sreeramoffcl yeah… exactly
Yeah
Before anyone says it - yes this setup is inspired by Dave2D :) I've been using these tube lights in my videos since the channel had 5k subs so thought I would pop them in some A-roll too.
I just had the macbook air for 3 days now. Im coming from a windows laptop that cost less than half of the mac, i3 4gb ram 400gb hdd, its not the best laptop out there. And man, switching to macbook, the experience is phenomenal. Its blazing fast, multitasking never felt this buttery smooth, huge battery, nice screen, loud and clear speakers.. its just better in every aspect compared to my old laptop. I still have a lot to learn, the file management still confuses me but everything else is perfectly fine. Im really satisfied with my purchase
Bro you making me excited now
@@alexceleste7778 im surely happy with it but please bear in mind i dont speak for every mba users haha.. since i am a college student, it works well with my needs, i dont do something crazy with it (yet) so im not sure how it’ll do with someone else’s needs (professionals probably better off with mbp i guess to be safe) but yeah for me its all good
You missed out the keyboard, if your coming from the 2020 13 inch you’ll love the m1 macs keyboard more.
Nah i love butterfly
Oh, the lighting is just wonderful :)
Always excellent content, have been using the M1 air for about 5 months, was primarily an Windows user and I still enjoy my Windows laptop, but this M1 at the price point is just running circles around it to the point to where unless I believe you really invest in an higher end Windows laptop you just want see the benefit,. I use the mod and I admit I do light video editing, not hardcore but the battery life, the performance especially with the mod is just through the roof, it just seems to be the best alternative for most people unless you're doing heavy lifting, then the MacBook Pro could take a lot of that weight, as always keep the fantastic videos coming, always informative and interesting content!
I just got an M1 Macbook Air and I'm overall pretty impressed. This is my first Mac and I've experimented with Hackintosh, but that's it. I don't have any affinity for Apple products and I personally despise iOS. With all that said, the M1 Air is the real deal. I thought Rosetta 2 would suck and I'm really surprised by how far Apple was able to push the ARM architecture. There are plenty of things I don't like as well, but most of that comes down to little quirks with Mac OS rather than the hardware and performance of the Air.
Another con is the lack of optimized apps. Some of the biggest do have an M1 version, but there are plenty that don't.
Some still work, but they either hit the system hard, or they are full of bugs.
OneDrive 😂
I bought an M1 Mac book air a year ago, and now I feel envy for an upcoming release of M2 Mac because of their better performance and improved efficiency.
When is the m2 mac coming out ?
@@Vaikida From what I've heard, I think it is coming in June 2022. Not sure if it true but yeah.
Dude your computer is insane. Not sure what you usually do on your computer but man it's great either way
M2 is terrible
I spent a lot of time researching this when they first came out, and I bit the bullet for an M1 MBP with 16GB/1TB. I use it for light video work, and my IT job - it has been an incredible tool for work and play and at no point have I ever been left feeling like I'm missing out.
The hype of it being a "powerhouse" is not wholly incorrect, when comparing base model M1 MBA against similarly priced competitors, they are pretty much class leaders and often punch above their weight. $1350AUD is not a lot of money, but oh boy you sure do get a LOT of computer.
yup. still in love with my M1 Pro 16GB 256GB SSD and it's nearly one year old. if people studied these videos they would see there isn't a huge need for M1 Pro, M1 Max or M1 Ultra.
sure, they are better. but the base M1 is god.
@@trapbeatproducer Yep even 11 months after I posted this, I still use it as my daily driver.
The M1 and now M2 are still kings in the segment, there is still no device on the market that can maintain competitive performance on battery power.
@@joytech23 I was in battery saver mode for a couple of months, only realised the other day. It's like owning a brand new laptop again 🥹
I'll make a couple more beats then I can say it is 100% the laptop for me. But I think I'm good with what I threw at it yesterday. It doesn't care how many instruments I play - it doesn't slow down or crash.
It is the BEST piece of tech I have ever bought! Ever.
@@trapbeatproducer I did the EXACT same thing! Had it like that for months and I only noticed because my Windows VM was a bit slower than usual.
I agree, it is also the best piece of tech I have ever bought. It made all of my hobbies, and things I love to do portable and I'm not tied to a desk or charger anymore. No more battery anxiety if I'm out for an entire day, now that's the kind of freedom that other computers can't quite offer.
Also it is almost always dead silent, and when I return to my gaming laptops I'm always a bit surprised when I hear the fans lol
@@joytech23 I just wanted to say, you are a good person 🙏🏽🥹
It's really nice being able to talk to someone on the internet without it being a 🍌 swinging event 😂
You're cool af man! Have a great day 💪🏽
Yo its been a while since I have checked one of your videos, and I just wanted to give you probs on the improvements you have made to your video style, editing etc. Its always been on a good level but you have really managed to still improve on that so - good job ;)
Thanks mate!
I think the hype is warranted, it absolutely is, fast & powerful, never seen anything like it, had zero issues.
I just started using Photoshop and going back and forth on my Macbook Air M1 and Ryzen 5 3600x Desktop gaming PC, I have to say the M1is superior in so many cases. Not just Photoshop, Apple Silicon optimized apps run insane.
I didn’t expect there to be a different in photoshop.
@Dhruv Mohabir you cannot upgrade it in the M1 models
@Dhruv Mohabir I chose the Macbook Air with 512GB storage (with that version you also get another gpu core) and stuck with the default 8GB ram because of swap memory.
So has the 8gb been enough
@@spicyshizz2850 more than enough. Swap memory does wonders.
I’m assuming there will mostly be good things about this, haha 😂
i see you everywhere lol
My dude LeBeautiful showed up this channel is official now!
Not only do we have the same music taste but we also wanna buy the MacBook 😭
stop stalking me on CZcams, you literally on every video I watch
Dave said that he’s missing some tubes in his studio. I wonder where they are ?😂
I actually prefer to watch videos about the flaws to make an educated purchasing decision.
I see your being smart, I always looked at the pros, but some of the cons were some of the biggest things I would do, 45 days until I get my MacBook Air 16gb LESSGO
Best apple laptop ever. Got mine for $850 brand new and couldn’t be happier
I accept everything that’s been said here. But, I’m afraid that my battery life on the m1 MacBook Air wasn’t as good as it was used to be when I first bought it. It’s been almost 7 months since I’ve bought this. Maybe I’m alone in this owing to my usage pattern but it’s a thing to look out for, nonetheless.
Well my macbook is 8 moth old and battery health is 100% and no issues, maybe you charged 100% and used till it died probably, that will make your battery loose energy so i persionally charge when its 40% and discharge when 80%
@@samio2944 What about your Mac's battery cicles after 8 months? Do you always let it discharge till 40% or mostly keep it plugged in? Appreciate the info!
@@Logophiling yeah i let it discharge till 40% and plug in till 80% and macbook knows i always unplug when its 80% so its slows down to 15watt charging speed when its 70%
The #M1Chip is probably the biggest innovation post-Steve Jobs for Apple. 🍏🍎👌
The reason it has the hype isn’t because it is an objective power house but the fact that in its class nothing compares on battery life, performance, and price
You should make a video testing the M1 Mac for engineering software such as AutoCAD, Tekla Structural Designer, and Idea Statica. I’ve been wanting to get one of the new M1 macs for a while now but I’m not sure how it will run these softwares, even if it needs to be through Parallels. Every other video tests the Mac for video and photo editing, but that is not something I would use the computer for. If you could help that would be great.
I only know about Fusion 360 though, and my friend told that it works perfectly fine! AutoCad also might work well, since it's from the same company. For windows softwares, ig softwares like Ansys would work through parallels
czcams.com/video/ReQQdJtIJdI/video.html
@@c04-rhikbanerjee55 thanks, that sounds promising at least. I’ll check out the link you sent
Agree. I wonder how well M1 would perform when using Tekla, Staad, Revit, and other engineering software. I do know AutoCad is now supported. Still 50:50 about buying one.
Depends on what you are looking for. If you want maximum portability get the M1 Mac. If you are working mostly at your desk get a more powerful windows machine like Razer Blade/Asus G15 with 3060 at least.
About the software, AutoCad 2D didn't perform as fast as my 3 years old windows last time I checked it on my friends M1 Mac, but it worked. Revit, 3Ds Max, Maya were worse via a windows Virtual Machine(only way available now), I believe if we tried 3D modelling on AutoCad, it would be bad too.
Simply said there's is no replacement for a laptop with a good GPU with a M1 Mac for Architecture/Civil softwares. But if you really want to make M1 work, you can follow the workarounds on internet.
@@arijit276 thanks for the insight, that has been helpful
This new setup is nice...looks like it's inspired by Dave 2D 😏😏
It sure is ;) Dave moved into a new studio so I thought I would inspire my new setup from his old look haha
@@CreatedTech nice ❤️
I work on a Windows computer with good hardware for me, works great, it is absolutely quiet because I turned off the fans, I don’t play games, I don’t edit pro video right now..
But I also need a small laptop for carrying and portable work, and I think that Macbook Air or Windows Oled Ultrabook is better (2k display, lighter than MacBook air)..
What I like the most is the absence of a fan and the long battery life of the MacBook air.
Huge swap memory is not a "MISLEADING" information... it is still a thing
Yes! especially with how tightly integrated the ssd with other components make how efficient the swapping works
@@coolname92 swapping still have problem..with huge writing to ssd
Still not efficient

@@leocompany you know nothing how ssd works..
Good luck for the next 2-3 years.. If you keep this.writing up...

Wow your setup is improving everyday! Giving me heavy Dave2D vibes! Keep up the good work.... :)
I Have got the MacBook Air M1 16 GB RAM, I love the tapered design, I love that it is silent (no fan) and not get hot, it is fast for anything, I do not waiting for exporting edited heavy image file. Apple do NOT change the tapered design !!!
One thing you forgot: you have the full power of m1 even when its unplugged from electricity. Windows machines lose around 20% of power.
Windows machines lose way more than 20% of power when unplugged lol
Ok I know no one cares about sponsors but... This is the best web to make your own web litrally the best 5 star review
I realllyyyy appreciate your honest review esp the last point
You could have mentioned that M1 Macs can't run bootcamp due to the different chip architecture, so some windows stuff like steam gaming are off limits
Bruh! Thank you for this review! Thank you!!!!
Fanless MBA M1 still have many Fans🥰😎
Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts about the chip.
A bit TOO overhyped. But i like the sleekness and good battery life.
Eager to see what intel and amd will do with arm :)
Subscribed just because you giving very good cons in this video unlike other youtuber.
I’m planning to buy MacBook Air M1 in ₹63000 rupees. The warranty is expiring on 7th October and seller don’t have bill box so should I buy it? It’s battery cycle count is 22.
LOL the lack of fans would mean you need to use this in an even more well ventilated place so that the heat can escape as it's not being pushed out or cool air pulled in.
Actually no, in testing that's not the case. Very little difference in thermal dissipation regardless of surface.
Using swap memory consistently is harmful for ssd. For instance I use 4gb swap memory I am going to change mac.
IT’s not if you consider the ssd should last 20years with swapping and no one is keeping the MacBook this long
Good unique points that I haven't really seen emphasized on other channels. Glad your channel is growing. It's difficult to have a unique view on tech stuff since there's so many people in the tech youtube space but keep up the good videos.
why with 30+tabs opening in safari and some native apple apps open I already started to notice some lag and stutter? The memory pressure is yellow all the time , the swap memory is about 2.5G. As I can remember (very possible my memory is wrong) when I bought it brand-new it was more smooth?
I am an m1 macbook pro user and honestly the fan rarely turns on if that, even while doing some video/photo editing. To be honest it really only turns on slightly during longer (and I mean like 5 or 6+ hours) periods of use time. The fan really shouldn't be a con to the pro and pro to the air. I do agree the air is great, but if your looking for the sustain, like heavy use/long period of time use, look into the pro (which does have a longer lasting battery may I add; I can go 3 days sometimes on one charge).
I'll add that the performance on both machines is amazing and can't really separate the two aside from the base model pro gaining an extra gpu core over the base model air. The sustain is really the major point with the pro against the air in my eyes, with the brighter screen, better battery life and updates keyboard being a plus (the touch bar for me is whatever bc in the end u still have to look down to operate function keys, not just the touch bar).
You say that now. That was the same case for my mbp from 2017 as the device gets older I think the fans turn on more frequently as the software gets more demanding and the hardware ages
I think that thing with the swap you said is not entirely correct.
You can find other machines with fast SSD that will choke under heavy load on the RAM.
The thing that make m1 fast on swapped pages, is the very short distance between the CPU and the RAM compared to regular computer.
I don’t get how the M1 Pro is worse on a soft surface. The fan only kicks in on the M1 Pro when the system gets hotter than this fanless model’s threshold. They’re equal on light tasks but surely it’s better to have some air flow when it gets warm rather than just throttling when that heat just radiates outward.
still waiting for CONS !??!?!
The XPS 13 might not be as powerful, but I'm not buying a thin and light in 2021 without a touchscreen. The performance delta does not impact my use case at all. Also the fact that I can replace the SSD, battery, with minimum effort. Apple makes disposable products.
Dude, what's stopping you from working with a windows computer? Because you think that an apple product leaves something to be desired for you , you just keep working with your windows cabinet . More and more people are switching to mac , even the users who were real apple haters 2 years ago , are overjoyed with their mac , how would that come …… . To each his own . A touchscreen on a destop or laptap is very inconvenient to use, but hey, what's stopping you from buying it? no one .
@@Theo5555 as much as I love Apple products and I just got an M1 Mac mini, saying that a touchsceen is very inconvenient makes zero sense. Do you realize that you don't have to touch the screen, that this is an additional option? It's like saying a stylus on an iPad is very inconvenient. Then don't use it! And above all a touch screen makes even more sense in a convertible device and in devices with pen support, which again are all touchscreen devices
When you are so powerful that one of your main con is the fact that people think hype it up to be very good something it can’t even control
I've just bought a MacBook Pro 14. Imagine that everything has been said for MacBook Air m1, can be multiplied by twice!
Only con for me: ain’t a gaming pc + 99% of my steam library wouldn’t work on it cause it’s a Mac. 😒 … but really impressed that I spent $900 and was able to do some of the same editing tasks my rigged out PC does. Mac is really trying to bring me back over from PC again and it’s working
Good points man. Thank you.
Well XPS cheap don't necessarily have more RAW power.
But Agree with your right to repair point.
It's the only thing I don't like about APPLE.
Still using a 13” mid 2012 pre-Retina MacBook Pro, luckily I can patch Big Sur and it’s fully functional, but the weight, screen resolution and thermals start to show its age…
are you sure the ssd will die after few years ?? that's the major point to consider before buying.. should anyone even buy this ?? how long the ssd will last approximately ??
5 - 7 years
Ok so… mostly positive, I love my M1 Macbook Air and I do edit heavy photo and video files.
just bought one last weekend for $749 at Best Buy with student discount…

great review!!!
Thank you!
Id like to see new rendering on AE tests now that it seems to run natively on the M1
Still not running natively but under Rosetta2.
Thank you for this video. There is so much hype these days that the M1 sounds like a super machine. You don't know whether to trust this or not. Any computer can browse the web and edit videos. So you should assess your use case.
Not everyone is a CZcamsr and needs this kind machine. A 600$ pc can do or an xps might fit someone's needs as well as an m1. Good review
I'm gonna be buying an air but im not sure to wait for the redesign.. It'll probably cost more.
just got one for 750$ on best buy for my first year in uni!
i’m getting my first ever Macbook M1, but which one should i get:
M1 Macbook Air with 16gb ram or the base model of M1 Macbook air with 8gb ram?
Im going to use it for school....word, excel, powerpoint, Discord, browsing, Netflix and youtube.
I have the base model. I bought it just over a year ago. It has been great, but do think I should have got the 16GB model to future proof it a bit.
The new generation M-series Macbook with solder on ram and hard drive or it power component break down after 2 to 3 years. If apple expect the consumer to get a new rather to repair it, than apple had to sell it product cheap enough if it don't meet it quality.
I change my MacBook pro 2017 15 inch to a mackBook air 2020. 8g 256hd. What do you thinl. I think i did right. What do you think…? Thank you for your great review…🙂
Is is worth to buy base m1 air coz I am worried to buy it because of ssd problem you told .. i have started saving money for it since 5 months. And planning to buy after my exams.. my work will be classes, video editing for youtube , coding basic stuff, some short movie editing, etc.. and I wish that as I am saving money for it, it should last 5-6 years at least.. coz not everyone is that much rich.. hope you understand my concern... Please suggest or make video on this.. or alternative to ssd fail..
congrats on 100k!
Keep up the good work

Always look at Apple refurbished to see if a products is good or bad.
Just saying if a product is good there won’t be much stock of refurbished macs.
Since Apple had to remove their reviews page due too many bad reviews by users …..the refurbished page is the best to get a gauge.
Don’t buy is the word on the street
Although your points are certainly valid, the fact still remains that because the M1 is a custom arm chip from Apple, users cannot run either Linux nor Windows natively. Parallels and virtualization is still the only available option; this means that whenever Apple decides to drop support for the M1 chip in the future, your only option is to upgrade...planned obsolescence in a nutshell. If you're planning to run Windows or Linux, you're far better off buying a non apple branded computer, regardless of the supposed advantages of the M1 versus either intel or AMD. Everyone praises the MacBook and never mentions the fact that without Apple continuing to support it with software updates, the consumer has zero ability to repurpose any M1 mac with a native Linux or Windows installation, once Apple support ends.
Left this comment in another video, but think it's nonetheless valid here.
Once Apple support ends, usually after 6-7 years, most people will have upgraded, but those that do not, a tiny minority can still use their Macs, they just only get important security updates, not new yearly upgrades.
@@andyH_England perhaps, but my point is that it’s your computer, purchased with your hard earned money. Why should Apple be allowed to entirely dictate its path to obsolescence? My 2014 MacBook Pro costs me nearly $2000 at launch and will stop update after Big Sur. With security patches likely to follow within the next 2 years. It’s still in good condition. Thankfully, because of the intel processor, I can run a full native windows install, after Apple abandons support. Macs have now effectively become iPad and iPhone; completely useless once updates end. For this reason alone, I’d buy a non Apple pc instead.
@@mw7967 MS and Google also have 6-7 years of OS support so Apple is similar and as you can say on the Intel Macs you can stick Windows or Linux on. Who is to say that in six years time Apple Silicon Macs will not support Linux? I know there are projects to get Linux running on ARM for consumers and if MS gets its act together maybe WOA? It is very harsh to make these claims in the early days of a new project?
@@andyH_England Actually Google chrome books from 2018 onward will be supported with updates for 8.5 years minimum. Even after support ends, users can run a native Linux distribution or can even run Windows natively on intel based Chrome books. Yes, in 6 or 8 years the M1 may support Linux, but the reality is that as of now they do not. As it stands, for me a Windows laptop and in many cases even a chrome book are a far better long term investment for the money. You're incorrect regarding Windows OS support. Windows 10 was released in 2015 and will be supported by Microsoft through 2026. That's 11 years of end to end support. If Microsoft and Google can be this transparent regarding support length, what's Apples excuse? The fact that Apple consumers must wait for a yearly developer conference to find out if Apple will continue to support their hardware is unacceptable, given the premium they charge for their devices.
Another negative is the camera quality… it’s not really that good for a 2020 release
watching this on my M1 MacBook Air !
Should we buy this laptop now? Or should we wait for the next generation Macbook air?
