- The new 2020 MacBook Air M1 is here with the new Apple Silicon, the scissor keyboard, better battery life and more. In this video I unbox, setup, benchmark and take a first look at the M1 MacBook Air update that improves on the last major update we had with amazing speed. #MacBookAir #MacBook #Apple #macOS

Heâs a real one for muting âhey Siriâ
no cap
Same I do it on my phone lol. Just hold the lock button if I wanna use it.
Exactly!!!!
YEhs u agree
I*
Appleâs âOne more thing...â
A new amazing macbook ( in my opinion)
Now we only need this with slimmer bezels aka 14 inch display.
It's nearly perfect!
The startup chime is seriously underrated. Iâm so glad they brought it back :)
The chime, along with the glowing apple logo were the two nice finishes to Macs, itâs a shame they didnât bring back the glowing apple logo now that battery life is much better
(I know you could always enable the chime via a terminal command but itâs nice that it has a real toggle now)
Iâm glad they got rid of the glowing logo. Firstly, it always felt super obnoxious when I was in public. Second, it was a completely unnecessary waste of energy. And third, it added extra thickness and weight to the body of the machine. I donât miss it.
@@micahgoldson1253 The glowing Apple logo didn't actually use any extra LEDs, it used the backlight from the screen to illuminate. So no difference in energy consumption. But I agree I don't miss it, the new design looks slick and doesn't scream "look at me!".
@@jeremiah23924 wow I genuinely didnât know that, thatâs such a cool fun fact! :)
They had to. The reason why is because sometimes it would go through the screen
Don't forget the Apple Polishing Cloth..đ
Thank you so much for showing the setup process, I really wanted to see that â¤ď¸
its 2023 and I just bought this laptop and I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase. this is also my first matchbook. I was using windows till now and oh boy the battery life and the raw performance of this laptop is insane. love the video and the product. thanks apple and zollotech
how was your experience? is it completely from windows? planning to buy next week
Hey, I have been confused with the ports. Are you facing any issues regarding? You had to buy an adaptor for it right?
@@cupcake4798yeah I had to buy adapters. Not a big deal tho.
@@eduaordddsorry to reply after 2 months. Yeah so the experience has been great since it was my first mac experience. I found that Mac's shortcuts were more useful than windows' shortcuts. Its just like using an iPhone that has a bigger screen and a physical keyboard with a trackpad. Easy to use once you get used to it.
Let me write down all the shortcut commands that I currently know and use on a day to day basis.
- Cmd + Opt + Backspace (fully delete & avoid recently deleted)
- Cmd + Backspace ( Delete the file & send it to trash can )
- Cmd + Tab ( App Switcher )
- Cmd + Q ( Fully Close The App )
- Opt + Arrow Key ( Move cursor one word at a time )
- Shift + Cmd + Arrow Keys ( Select All Text )
- Cmd + Delete ( Delete The Entire Written Text )
- Cmd + Opt + Esc ( Task Manager )
- Cmd + M ( Minimise Any Window Or Running Task )
- Cmd + A ( Select All )
- Command + Tab ( To switch b/w different apps )
- Command + T ( Open new tab )
- Command + W ( Close the current tab )
- Shift + Command + N ( Open private tab )
- Command + D ( Add favourite website to start page )
- Cmd + R ( Refresh Current Page )
just got this one this year and it still runs amazing very happy with it
Are you picking up a new MacBook Air with Apple Silicon? Thanks for watching!
should i sell my early 2020 macbook air for this one i dont know, i think the one i have currently is ok for now
Goodđ
@Mustafa Ali Lawai niceee hope you like it :D
I wish bro. I wish...
Iâm sitting this out since I purchased the early 2020 MacBook Air. It works just fine for my needs. Iâm sure by the time I upgrade (in a few years), Apple Silicon chips will be out of this world.
Got one of these coming tomorrow and all the current reviews seem to show it's still a great machine in 2023. Good stuff!
Im getting one of these tomorrow actually, Iâm planning on using it for school/work and personal use. How are you liking it? I wonât regret buying it?
@@fbi6482 for school/work, you wonât regret it. Good battery life, good performance for most web browsing, word processing, coding, and other tasks. Gaming might be mid, but itâs def a good productivity machine
Wow! You are amazingđđź you literally tell about everything from the FIRST which is so good..you give details about each and everything...đđźđđź
Thanks for reviewing this I was waiting for your review! I canât wait to get mine!
One of the things I'm interested in seeing is how support for third party operating systems will turn out in the future. One of the things I love about the Intel Macs is, that I can of course run the Mac operating system, and just about any other OS I want either by VM, or even natively. Both Linux and windows has ARM support already so would like to see where that goes. I've thought about building my own computer for the third party operating systems, however using a mac for this has the nice advantage of running mac os natively without modifications, and windows and Linux also run as long as the right drivers are available. So it's a win win situation. I of course run macOS on my macs, just saying having the option to change the OS is nice.
For the keyboard brightness: there is a keyboard brightness controller in the control center at the top of the screen
Aaron, your explanation is amazing
Thank You for all the details
Hi Eric I just picked up my M1 at Best Buy. I decided on the M1 due to a great sale s/b a great up grade for me as I am coming from a mid 2012 MacBook Air. Thanks for you set up video.
I just ordered my very first MacBook and this one was it ! Iâm so excited for it to arrive
How is it?
@@D_flame since he didn't respond. I have it since last week, and it's just an amazing machine. Definitely worth it!
@@beau6699 is it worth the price you reckon i need a laptop for uni but not sure if the price is justified
@@ta8258 100%, I've been using it for school and regular video watching etc. And I has just worked great, the battery is amazing. For my personal use it can last up to 3-4 days, which is pretty insane. Besides that, the keyboard is really nice. So typing feels very good.
@@beau6699 appreciate the response got uni in 3 weeks and done a lot of research and going for the MacBook Air m1
Getting this exact configuration on Friday đ¤đ˝ Thank you so much for the video!
geekbench benchmark was impressive and faster than any other intel mac thank you
The best unboxing and setup video ever. He explains almost all the things...
Awesome presentation Aaron!! Expecting more comparisons between intel and m1! Great work
On your channel for the first time, Loved your way of explaining things, It's good
Thank you
Dude I am about to get one of these and I wasn't sure this was the right one.
But after watching ur video, I got one straight away. U explained everything clearly.
Well done My Guy!
Wow, those benchmark scores are amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing how the MacBook Pro performs in the future, especially considering it does have the additional cooling fan unlike this MacBook Air.
Should be better because of the fan. sustain peak CPU speeds longer. I dunno how the fan and ssd speed thing would connect..
The one I have been waiting for.
Getting my MacBook next week , Excited :) :)
Best tech makes best unboxing znd reviews he give everything you need
Like always nice video mentioning things other reviewers dont mention like the FaceTime camera and sounds tests. Congrats
Excited for Macbook Air M1. Hope it will arrive soon here in Philippines! :) great review!
đ I thoroughly enjoyed your coverage. I appreciate your thoughts. Blessings on your day.
Great video. Thanks for your efforts. One question regarding speaker volume. I have an older macbook pro and at times, wish the volume was louder. You mentioned a reference to the macbook pro in this regard and that there are some issues with this Macbook air M1 at higher volumes. As my macbook is several (many) years older, I was hoping things would have changed and that this unit would provide better volume. Any thoughts or should I try to go see one in person to test it before ordering?
Great review. Thanks from Chile!
Aaron is the wizard of unboxing videos! Always look forward to his.
The M1 is a beast guys.. swifts through all my heavy machine learning projects.
Detailed video mahn ! Keep it up !
Bro the Startup chime is LEGENDARY
So much better review than those where the youtubers shows themselves.
Thank you for such an in depth starting up of the MBA M1. I am looking forward to buying my first laptop and Apple product and it will be the MBA M1. I just subscribed and rang the bell. Great video for beginners. Thank You
- just bought one of these - the 256KB / 8GB version though, and I get almost two full days out of it off charger, streaming video and music from platforms. Really impressed so far!
Ahhhh I am so excited I just ordered my air M1 today I upgraded to 8 gpu with 16 gb memory and 512 ssd in gold. Canât wait until it finally arrives. Did tons of days/hours of research. This will be my first ever MacBook! It will match my iPhone 12 max pro in gold.
2:26 pause and tilt back to read it!
Bruh
I really enjoy the intro!!!
I was waiting for this unboxing by you.
Thank you. It would have gone live last night but then Apple released an update
Very Good Review; I would like to see if the startup speed is improved or not compared to older laptops, is startup faster if you shutdown the laptop and startup ( and please remove password prompt to decrease the time of boot)
Thanks
Your mic that you record with sounds amazing
This video looked great on my new 2020 MacBook Air M1. I've been using it for 3 days now, as they came out first in Australia. Love the gold colour! The screen is very impressive, as well as the speed and battery life. After a life time using windows PCs, there is a lot to learn here!
â2021â
This is amazing. Those figures will give my 2020 MacBook Pro 13" with 16 GB ram a run for its money. Can't wait to see your report on the M1 MacBook Pro, although I am disappointed that this only has 2 USB ports instead of the 4 which I have and often use 3 of them. Probably wait until next year anyway to see if they make the much anticipated 14".
You can get the USB hub. I got one for like 10 dollars
Getting a MacBook Air m1 tomorrow and have heard a lot of good stuff about it
I got it yesterday. Absolutely fantastic machine. Speedy, no fan AT ALL. No intense heating up. Runs everything, from old apps, to optimized, to iOS iPad apps, just spectacular. They really werenât joking about the instant on feature when opening it up. I used to think the old MBP was fast. Not even remotely in comparison. No hiccups using my Apple Watch to unlock it as with the older MacBook with intel. Everything is just so streamlined now and I love it. Apple sheep for life. Donât even care. Life is simpler with them.
Hey how is it performing now in late 2022, is it wise to buy this m1 macbook base model in 2022?
Wondering the same never got a laptop before
The IOS app thing... its just a joke really...
People will find it useful running iOS apps on Mac, but it needs work (trackpad to touch issues etc..)
THAT is why we have no touchscreens on Mac..... Either they will see the evidence, or they will just keep wanting it regardless..
What will make people understand??? I ask you.
This is an great video!
Its great how Zollo mutes the "Hey Siri" Part, so that our own Siri doesnt wake up! :)
I just love your videos Iâm a big fan! â¤ď¸
This channel always my go to
Maybe do some tests again with it plugged in to see if there is any improvement.
Great presentation and explanation đđ
Comprehensive as always. How do iOS apps run on it, especially LumaFusion and Netflix?
Good review, keep up the good work đ
Well, i have been using Windows machines, but after watching your reviews, i am thinking about moving to Macbook for programming.
thank u was waiting this đ
Really appreciate saying hey and Siri separately and then muting all the "hey Siri" during the setup! great video
You give a truly professional presentation. Spoken well. Very clear and concise . Thanks!
Here is a hint, when migrating from one mac to another you need to shut off the firewalls on both computers, and if you have a security program like Norton you need to shut off that firewall as well.
I canât wait for mine to arrive :D
Hi Aaron, great video! Iâve been enjoying your iOS and watchOS content for a while, and Iâm looking at making the jump from Windows to macOS soon with this MacBook Air. During the setup process you mention not activating FileVault on certain Macs, that got me thinking - why? And, on a broader stroke, what other things would a Mac newcomer want to know when migrating. A transitionerâs guide would be a great watch in your clear, concise delivery
My first thought was, âAaron why didnât you update to Ventura yet?â
Then I realized itâs 2024 now and Iâm just that far behind in getting my first MacBook
Ordered mine yesterdayđ
I'm really happy and blessed. Thanks mom dad and god.
@@timothytandy9968 - Start saving for a refurb next year! They are still going to be pretty dominate for the next 12 months at least
Man Iâm getting a 12 pro max otherwise I could get a MacBook Air I need a laptop too so planning to get a acer laptop I really wanted a MacBook Air but a 12 pro max is still enough
â@@BlackinWhite9 Could you get a free iPhone 12 via trade-in and then use the saved cash to buy a MBA? I think the MBA would be better quality of life (depending on how much you use it) vs a iPhone 12 Pro Max over the iPhone 12
My computer is an Compaq âPrestĂgioâ he IS SO SSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWW
@@BigDawgCAM I'm poor.
Thanks Aaron! Ill go with the Air simply because I don't like the Touch Bar on the Pro.
when zollotech posts i will ALWAYS BE THERE love you
@@brianhansen2202 of course not man!!!
Hey man, great work! I really appreciate it. Greetings from PerĂş.
Thank you
Looks great. Love the colour.
Aaron that's what I was asking before about the keyboard brightness keys remember? I see now it is automatic. So you can not adjust it with the function keys? I wonder? Thanks for the review!
Yeah Iâm early I only saw Luke Mianis video then I came and saw your video about the M1 MacBook Air. Zollotech certified unboxing. Yeah â
Really loved how well you reviewed this and specially that you added time stamps đ ... canât wait for my MacBook Air m1 to arrive
Hi how are you liking yours I want to order mine . Hope to just hear whatâs your like
@@Isabellapalasida Hi, I love it . Itâs really good. Canât game too high end games like in a PC . But otherwise itâs great.
How many inches is yours ?
@@nidhim7632 which one did you get? Did you upgrade the gpu and ram/ssd? I am waiting for mine I upgraded to the 8 gpu 16 gb and 512 ssd. Super excited canât wait!
Hi. How's your M1 now? I came across to this video because I am planning to buy a macbook air but I can't decide what to choose. M1 or M2.
Iâm getting mine today, so excited!
@@elliejohnson7692 I dont really know much about macbooks, but i'm sure that this one has the scissors switch keyboard.
@@elliejohnson7692 since itâs not a scissor keyboard, itâs a little thicker than the butterfly one. But it does not change the thinness of the laptop though. I think you should still get it, itâs been working flawlessly for me and most people that I know.
howâs it holding up for you so far? (:
@@evistte So far, mine has been working really well
Thanks for this!!
P.S. Always enjoy your channelđ
I have so much respect for you for muting the "hey siri" part. I was reaching for my controller to turn down the volume because I'm used to people not muting it.
Could you do a video on the performance of Final cut pro and Adobe photoshop on the M1 Macbook Air?
I cant wait to get this for summer
Nice video very informative đ
Try to use cinebench multiple times (maybe after 10 then 30 times) to see what it comes after the system begin to heat since it doesnât have a fan)
Great video! Thanks
Gonna grab the base air soon!
Waiting for M10 CPU. Can't wait to see it.
I am thinking of buying this M1 Macbook Air very soon. Which adapters do you recommend since my current Mac is the 2017 model with the A ports and SD Card ports that are now missing from the new Mac? Thank you for the great review.
Would love the Air offered in the new iPhone green.
Watching this on my Macbook Air M1 2020
Damn. This blown away my ryzen 7 4800h in geekbench 5
I just wanna say, your videos are great
great review!!!!!
This is Aaron from zollotech đđ˝
Interesting how the MacBook Air went from quite literally the slowest performing laptop for $1000 to the fastest.
I Just ordered this exact one, Super excited ! Thank you for the video Aaron it helped in my decision đ
Hiii, do u still have it? If so, how is it*
@@Stalk_nelle yes I still have it itâs like brand new it works fantastic even being from 2020 I have purchased AppleCare with that. I paid the last couple years just in case I need to replace anything, but so far I havenât. Definitely a worthwhile purchase. We use it all the time.
I've watched this video a year ago. Now I have my M1 MacBook Air after 9 months of using it, and it's still really good until now.
same
How about now, is it still good??
Hi Aaron, great videos as always đĽ keep it up đđť
Should I buy air with m1 chip with 7 gpu or 8 gpu? Also, the reason I ask is that the memory jumps from 256 to 512 gb respectively. especially considering that memory is cheap and can purchase 2TB very cheaply. Iâm making my purchase at Costco to save on the bottom line. Thanks for your help.
Base model is all youuuuuu realllyyy neeeeeed
Great and informative video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Just got mine about a week ago. Space Gray, 16GB & 512GB. Loving it. Fast. Great battery life. Major boost to productivity especially with photo editing. Some minor software glitches with legacy Intel apps over Rosetta 2 but generally running way better than on my old 2014 MBA. Thanks for the recommendation.
Be grateful.i can never afford one in my lifeđ
@@ANGEL-mb9yx you will, my friend.
How long does the battery last on the m1 air
Reply this comment using my McBook Air 13 inch (Early 2014).
Thanks Aaron. This will be my first Mac.
Same! How was it so far? Still waiting for mine.
@@YARA_Gelou absolutely brilliant. Apple did an amazing job.
All we need now is a startup video
