Will you ever be buying one Jeff? 🤨

the title makes sense after seeing that ngl
You mean lay count
Oh
Anthony being allergic to grass really explains why he is so good with computers.
Lol
It is crazy how good-a-presenter Anthony is. I remember he was a bit nervous when he started but he is now one of my favourite presenters. Great work!
He's really one of the best writer/presenter because Anthony is just too knowledgeable about a lot of stuff. It's rare to see someone good at talking in front of a screen while being knowledgeable about the product itself. Even linus comes at second place when anthony is on screen.
@@fraserkerr4060he also doesn’t try to force comedy. Just a throws in a tiny snarky comment here and there or subtle little jab. I appreciate the guy
I only watch this channel for Anthony. I actually can’t stand any of the other presenters because of their forced attempts at humour and over the top presentation styles
he should really lose wait tho
With the slower ssd and everybody saying "better to buy the bigger capacity", i think apple done marketing well
I think even if people buy expensive laptop, they would rather choose at least 512 GB instead because 256 GB is not enough
256 is laughable, and should not be sold.
@@lateral1385 I’m not against 256 being sold for people who do cloud computing, however, it’s absolutely unacceptable that it’s so nerfed because the whole point for users should be that its easy to get things on and off the disk? Like… to the cloud or a server or a drive…

I find it kind of hilarious that we have to compliment that
Lol... the things we're grateful for.
Not even just apple, all of the laptop manufacturers are so bad about that on thin machines. Try tearing into an HP Spectre jfc
@@n.g.5234 its called positive reinforcement, but yes, low bars and all
i dont understand why apple can be so good at making good products but when it comes to repairability that do a hard no... dont they want to be known for making products that last?
9:27. I got the MacBook Air specifically because it doesn't have a fan. I'm frequently in dusty environments and the fanless design is a game changer. The thermal tape mod works well. I wish more computers were fanless
i got the m1 pro 14inch, and the fan almost never turns on honestly. So noise wise its almost the same. (unless you are doing something really heavy like video editing)
@@gbessone but the problem is dust like he says, dust cannot be avoided with fans, you have to clean then eventually and get inside your computer and reduce your computer's life span
@@gasparmxm In my case fans almost never turn on (i never do the kind of heavy editing that would require fans to turn on), so i don't see myself ever having to clean them. If i did, would be after 10 years and by then i'd have another computer.
@@gbessone fine dust floats around and deposits whether or not the fan runs. The fan running merely accelerates it 100x. Sealed still matters in environments with enough fine dust.
In dusty environments I would go for a toughbook.

It’s interesting how Apple can make a confusing line-up (for me at least) with only 2 products. 😂
More than 1 product tends to confuse LTT EXCEPT when it’s a non-Apple product, for some reason being non-Apple tends to last longer for some as-yet-unidentified reason.
@@B.D.F. they always call out other brands for confusing naming schemes. You just hear it more often about apple products because they have a horrendous naming scheme and it’s fun to make fun of apple (I’m an apple fanboy btw)
Then once you get 16gb and the higher spec model, you're only $300 away from a base model 14 pro which has MANY compelling reasons...
@@joelv4495 Circular loop. Difficult to buy the MacBook you like without remorse.
@@cienciabit For sure. I had a 2013 M1 Pro that I bought knowing I wanted a bigger screen for dev work but the performance was just too good to pass up. When the MBP 14/16s came out, I immediately ordered a 16 Max, but it was too heavy for me... I finally found my goldilocks machine... 14 Pro with 32gb memory.
1:33 bro is literally incapable of touching grass, a true gamer
When you wake the M1 MacBook Pro from sleep, it sometimes will just have that stutter. Only way to get rid of it is to reboot. Pretty inconvenient, and it’s been a problem since it came out.
So, Apple has not achieved literal software perfection? I'm shhhhhhhhhh......ocked
M2 Pro only or any of the MacBook Pros?
@@guadalupe8589 For a company that once had an ego the size of a skyscraper that is pretty pathetic to be honest. Bugs like that are a little more than just "software perfection". At this point MacOS is worse than Windows and probably even more plagued than some Linux distributions..
Even with just a Shortcircuit, you've already gone deeper into the SSD performance than all of these youtubers who think a peak sequential transfer is all. Throw some random 4K reads/writes in, hammer the IOPS, I hope to see more in depth testing on the full review than many of these less technical channels have done.
Why would you even bother testing SSD performance on a laptop like this?
@@evrythingis1 Because it sits in the price range of many high performance laptops. Laptops which people will actually care about the performance of.
Aaaayyyy. I love you Anthony. Tell Linus we want the MSDOS gaming PC. I’ve got too much old hardware with nowhere to put it.

@@suntzu1409 you can always be thinner, look better.
10:07 Because Apple still enforces only one external display natively on the MacBook Air, even though it's more than capable of running two external displays since M1. That's why I have to use a Wavlink DisplayLink hub.
Anthony is as always fun to watch and informative
The 13 inch pro has almost always been the sacrificial Mac to bring up the sales of the air as they spec so similar and this year once again they did just that
Ya honestly I have no desire to buy the Pro anymore. If I need more power it is way more economical to just build a desktop, but if you are gonna have a laptop, better to have the best combo of portability and power, and that's definitely the air
@@theNimboo a desktop is not portable though and cannot run off battery so that’s an irrelevant comparison
I've never watched this guy's videos before, but he's great! Super funny and informative. Thank you.
Hello! Am trying to decide on a Mac book (pro or air) model to purchase... I am in academia and my workload is somewhat intensive to very intensive on graphics and processing, with files of over 10 million data-points and images on the range of 500 Mb, some programming (mainly python), also Auto-cad and some GIS applications as well as data-mining over the internet (which sets my number of open tabs on the range of 40 to 50 at any given time)... which model would you recommend that will not make me break bank, and its going to perform well above average, as well as which configuration you recommend. Thank you in advance for your help!!! Great videos and expensive toys you always try...
It’s about time! How else was I suppose to form my opinion without you guys
1:33 Anthony finally answers the question we've all been wondering: Q: How is he so knowledgeable about tech? A: He actively avoids touching grass.
the best review for m2 macbook air. Thanks Anthony.
When I was looking for a MacBook with M2 I was torn between the Pro and the Air, inevitably I went with the Pro as I needed a little more cooling than I would get with the Air. The additional fact that there was the issue with the SSD's that are being presented, it made me go the direction of the Pro. I love the form factor of the Air over the Pro but aesthetics isn't the only thing that got me there. Hope they go this direction with the future updates for all the designs but don't hate what I have.
9:22 I’ve been using the M1 Air all year and I’ve never managed to get it to a point where I’d like a fan. The silence is absolutely priceless.
I don’t do any intensive rendering though.
Thanks for the review and for sacrificing your thumb! \m/😄
$1699 for 16gb + 512 + 2 extra cores. At that point you might as well buy an M1 Pro 14" for $1799 when it's on sale, or $1850 w/ edu discount. I loved the M1 air, but $200 for each upgrade ontop of the increased base price, makes it hard to recommend outside the base 8/256 for general light activity.
I’ve just come to this same conclusion! 14” pro has a much better screen, much better speakers, supports multiple external displays etc
Picked up my used 14" for 1500!
Fully agreed! I loooove my 16“ M1 Pro!
You can get the 14" for $1749 refurbished. I agree that while the M2 can do a lot, it is not worth speccing up for performance
Depends on how much you value portability / style
Anthony's stage presence and comedic timing has improved so much since he started going solo. I'm so proud of muh boi. He's crushing it.
Dbrand is absolutely bonkers, and hilarious. I actually enjoy reading the add mails they send.
I've been using my M1 Air daily for almost a year now. I personally love that it DOESN'T have a fan, because it keeps silent the 99% of the time the CPU isn't at full speed. I'm not afraid to keep the computer at weird angles or on bad surfaces because it's completely solid.
@Garrus Vakarian even with the option to run the laptop in passive mode, when it heats up the fan starts to spin anyway...
MBP M1 has only once spinned up the fan, when I was playing stellaris :D
Also doesn’t suck up dust etc over time!
I agree, it was a big selling point for me. And really makes complete sense considering almost all smartphones and tablets don't have fans and have plenty of power. GG Apple!
@@Fasneocroth so apple turned their laptops into smartphones? so when a new update pops up i would expect my laptop to run slow?
I waited for the M2 to release, got a great deal on the last bit of remaining M1 air base model stock and bought it
❤ the side by side comparisons.
Nothing better than an Anthony video after a difficult day
He is like a big kid.
Apple's long standing rivalry with oranges finally resolved.
i have the 2020 13" MacBook Pro M1 and it changes to30hz or somehting pretty often which is rather annoying because you can see it very visibly...
it changes back sooner or later but i hate that you dont have a setting where you can control or at least monitor the fps
I was investigating our web app performance issues in Safari recently (actually, some Safari dev tools are better than Chrome ones)
And stumbled upon the following thing, I will cite...
By default, macOS Monterey enables “Low power mode” on Battery power and disables it when using a Power Adapter. Safari, it seems, is programmed to interpret this setting to mean that it should reduce the number of times it paints to the screen to prolong battery life.
I was planning on getting a new air in january 22, to replace my 2013 one, and I am so glad I waited mainly for the MagSafe and the new color
@madan pal the 256k and 4K random reads and writes are about the same if not faster in the m2 air so for most users they will never notice the performance difference or have a better experience even on the 256gb air. Also, hardly any users spring for a TB3 nvme pcie SSD external drive. They are either using an HDD or at best a USB3.1 Gen 2 SSD that maxes out around 1GBps. So they will never have an occasion to utilize this speeds pretty much. File copies to the same drive are instantaneous now with the APFS filesystem.
Love Anthony, legit nerd energy. We use one of these m2 airs to render 8k video and it absolutely rips!
Thank you for the air diagnostic.
The Peter Griffin like Swswswsw aaahhhhh at the end.🤣 Thanks for the good infos by the way.

I can't belive I literally enjoyed watching d'brand's comercial 😂 That skin is such a smart move and also looks cool and fun 😍
So can you replace any parts like ssd or ram in the pro or air. Did the m2 fix the video out issues the m1 had
Shoutout to voiceOver being mentioned! I use it every single day on my pitiful little Intel macbook air.
So Apple’s cheapest ‘new’ laptop is $1200. But you shouldn’t buy that. You should upgrade it to the $1500 one. And better yet $200 more for 16GB of memory.
And all that you needed was a light laptop for browsing and office work.
p.s. the $1500 one is €1870 in Europe. Because Apple tax.
Ah yes. Stupid prices in Europe. And the base model is 1500€? Instead of 1200€ that it should be (let’s say 1300€ because of VAT and transport). Retarded prices.
$1500 is without sales tax, which you always need to add for US prices unless you live kn a state without them like Delaware.
With current bad Euro conversion rates (1=1) and let’s say 19% sales tax in Germany, you are at 1785€. Same model is 1850€ in Germany.
So the Apple “tax“ in Europe is not as bad as you think it is, especially since e.g. in Germany there are also more bullshit taxes like GEMA which actually charge you for any sold phone, tablet and computer to accompany for “private copies of music“. I shit you not, this is an actual tax and costs you like 13,72€ for notebooks.
@@neappx Forgive me if this is ignorant, I'm not familiar with the tax systems in Europe. Also, I may not understand what you've said.
If the product is listed as 1850€ on the German website, would the 19% German sales tax not be applied to that amount making the final cost 2,201.50€? The US cost would be $1,594 (with avg US sales tax of 6.35%) vs $2,201( Germany with 1€=$1). Difference of $607 (32% more expensive). Or is the 1850€ on the website already including sales tax?
I'm not trying to be argumentative or call you out. I'm just confused on the differences in costs haha
@@yellowood252 Listed prices in Europe for consumers are pretty much always the final price, including taxes. So 1850€ listed means I pay 1850€.
@@neappx Ahh, I see. That makes much more sense then haha. I wish the US would do that with their products, it would be much more consumer friendly. When we buy gas, the price already includes all the taxes, but not with other products. Thanks!
Great video, big Anthony fan here. When you were talking about the SSD speeds and the toll that stuff like Final Cut will take on it - I hear you, BUT if I'm doing enough video editing where that would matter, I'm not buying a MacBook Air to do it. In that scenario, I would be getting a 14" Pro.
Why? 512gb+ SSD, CPU, and GPU are all the same. It’s not going to make a difference until the M2 pro comes out.
Edit: I suppose if you need the fan that makes sense but I doubt the Air thermal throttles much.
Yeah people are complaining about the speeds but who will buy an air with no fan to use as their machine to make money ??
@@koalaunknown not the same. M1 pro has 512GB with faster write/read speeds than the Air (don’t know why). Also, base model has 16GB RAM. Like MKBHD said: the M1 Pro runs circles around the M2 Air
fair, the m1 pro is hands down a better product to buy for creative use, *however* the fact that the current controversy is measuring the speed in stuff like rendering final cut projects is amazing. like, it's a MacBook air, the fact it can run final cut renders faster than most last gen MacBook pros is insane. I wish they would disclose the SSD speed thing, but this is a thin and light entry level mac, and it's plenty capable for creative work as long as it's not more than 50% of your use case
I think if anyone is doing any heavy work go for the 14 mbp. The air isn’t really meant to be your main machine especially without a fan.
9:20 I love that my MacBook Air does not have a fan. Happy to trade a little bit of performance for a silent machine.
Does the m1 macbook air they still sell, also have one 256gb nand ship (the one that are producing now and not the old stock of course)
Thanks Anthony, I really appreciate your advice. I got the 512gb M1 air a little over a year ago with the intention of using that while I waited for the M1 Pro to come out. I ended up skipping the M1 pro because my M1 air was more capable than I expected it to be, and I loved the light weight as someone with back issues. At this point I'll probably just sell it and get a M2 air instead, the higher end one like you recommended. Thanks so much for your advice pal
why not keep your M1 air? the M2 air has a big price hike for not much of a difference
Just keep your M1 air dude
@@ThunderDraws Unfortunately I only got 8gb of ram, which definitely bothers me. I originally tried to order the 16gb, 512gb version, but they said it would take a week to arrive. So I saw I could get the 8gb, 512gb same day and I went for it cause in my mind it was only going to be temporary anyway so what the hell. I wish I had considered that I might actually want to keep the M1 air, in that case I would have definitely been willing to wait the extra week for 16gb of ram. So now I'm not sure what to do lol. but I know I wish I had 16gb of ram.
@@2intheampm512 See my reply to Thunder Draws. What do you think I should do? In most cases I don't mind only having 8gb of ram, but in others it has definitely hurt having so little :c
The extra room accorded by a 512GB SSD that costs Apple $50 max, while they upcharge you $200 for it. Apple is the king of "suck it up and pay us more".
Price is never dictated by cost. It's dictated by demand. If people were willing to pay $500 for it, that's what it would cost.
Yeah but apple fansimps love it .it's like paying apple for it's onlyfans
@@tails618 it's called simping
yep, that's why I say it's base models or bust with apple, and the m2 air is a bust in the base model so I'd rather get an m1 air, m1 pro, or wait for a new one. It doesn't help that it doesn't have any real cooling either, that's why it will get over 100 degrees while doing anything with the performance cores
@@girlsdrinkfeck Hope you didn’t buy whatever device you used to type that comment on, because you’re just simping for those companies.
work for apple and honestly opening those shipment boxes are so satisfying lmao
When are you doing the termal tests dude?
i did get that weird stutter on my m1 air too, googled it and found other people with the same issue happening occasionally, no solution other than rebooting and hope it doesn't come back, only happened to me once so far, apple, as always, says nothing
EDIT: i noticed it when moving the cursor and it was leaving a huge trail behind
Sounds like a glitch in the (matrix) Graphics Cores. Probably be fixed in future graphics drivers. Similar nonsense can happen with NVidia and AMD drivers. As long as it's not happening with any regularity, it's probably not an issue.
@@thewiirocks Yeah but Apple's selling point is "it just works". This is how they justify the premium prices.
@@MrAkaacer For the most part Apple devices do "Just Work". But if you think I've never had to reboot my phone or Mac due to some sort of glitch, I've got a bridge to sell you. These devices are way too complicated to expect zero issues.
With that said, I was a bit peeved the other day when I had to reboot my Windows 10 machine to successfully reconnect to the corporate WIFI after it was power cycled, while my Mac colleague happily reconnected no issues. You definitely see the differences on a daily basis.
I had a weird glitch on my iphone the top part of the phone got blurred i got scared but when i restarted the phone it went back to the normal
@@thewiirocks I've seen mac with wifi connection issues. I've seen win10 and linux machines with wifi connection issues. My current PC (and the 6 I run for my nephews and nieces) have no wifi connection issues and neither does my current laptop. My pc Windows htpc has wifi connection issues. Windows and Linux support a wider range of hardware, so occasionally there are glitches. What's Apple's excuse? As a PC user who also supports the occasional mac from family and friends, I don't see a difference in number of issues, except when its a mac issue, it can be a lot harder to resolve at times.
Correction: The MBA M2 has 2 thunderbolt 3 ports just like the previous model

@@gs7828 but if it’s thunderbolt 4 then it must be able to support 2 4K displays which I believe was what he wanted that the m2 air doesn’t support unfortunately

Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports with support for:
Charging
DisplayPort
Thunderbolt 3 (up to 40Gb/s)
USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s)
USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)
M1 / M2 can't support multiple external displays because the chips for displays are in the SoC and they are relatively big, so Apple is only including one.
Would you recommend it as a daily driver for university work such as assignments including programming?
Staying awake using Benadryl is one thing, staying awake AND hosting a video is impressive
the problem with buying a reasonable spec on this laptop is that the 16 GB + 512 GB storage option brings the total to $1499 which is just soooo close to the 14’’ MacBook Pro base model with the same specs which went for $1849 iirc on sale on Amazon. For only a couple hundred bucks more there are substantial upgrades over the m2 air. Maybe this was Apple’s pricing strategy to get people to buy the 14’’ mbp though
Those specs sound reasonable to us tech geeks but for the majority of people it's not necessary to have 16gb or an internal 512gb storage. A lot of people use airs to write notes at uni, stream video and music and keep their photos mostly on the cloud or an external. If you aren't one of those people and must have an apple laptop then the higher tier macbook pro that antony references makes sense. Because as you've pointed out extras are shit value on all apple products.

16-512GB version of air is dangerously close to the pro irrespective of whether or not somebody will actually buy the 16-512GB version of air
Lol if 16gb is necessary to you then just buy the pro. 95% of the people buying the air do not need 16gb of RAM. The only upgrade that people might wanna do is upgrade to the 512gb ssd so you have 2 NAND chips. And where I live the price difference between the 14” pro and the M2 air with 512gb ssd is still €500

Remember to also blur the barcodes - not just the text. You could quite easily reverse engineer the barcodes or just screenshot and scan it.
Anthony’s journey from being awkward on camera to super comfortable is inspirational
I really want an Air. But 16GB of RAM like you say is essential - immediately that with the not-slow SSD is the same price as the equivalent M2 Pro... and that has a fan so you'll get better performance. It's annoying because it's basically the only 2 things I care about - 16GB of RAM and a super fast SSD. I'd otherwise be happy with the slower or less well-cooled CPU.
Suddenly we're talking about a 1700 GBP laptop.
Unless you are doing specific things, you will never notice that SSD speed difference. Copying large files every day? Sure, maybe. The most important figures are the random reads/writes.
@@tiestofalljays copying *where* is my question. If you're using any kind of network or USB 3.0, you're likely limited by that.
@@andreewert6576 True. It’s really not a huge deal. Basically, if you’re copying a bunch of vids from one folder to another, that’s where you’ll see a speed difference. Everything else: external storage will be your bottleneck.
I’ve got a stupid fast PCIE nvme drive in my desktop (PC). 7gigs per second or something? Literally cannot tell it’s that fast lol. I’d still be fine with my old 1.5gig/second Intel drive.
@@tiestofalljays so many people fall for this. My boot drive is a PCIe3 1TB Samsung 970. There are folks who would call sub 3GB/s performance "too slow" today. Meanwhile, i've pondered going for SATA-M.2s as boot disks for friend's builds, because windows, browers, programs and many games just feel the same with 500MB/s as they do with 5000. Not saying i wouldn't buy NVMEs, it just use them for stuff that actually profits.
@@andreewert6576 Yep for sure. I’ve thrown SATA SSDs in friend’s builds (Samsung EVO models). They work great. No complaints about them being “slow”. Even DRAM Cache is a mostly unnecessary feature **unless you’re using the drive as a system/OS drive**. For a non-power user/someone who doesn’t copy loads of videos/photos, DRAM cache on a secondary drive is pretty much inconsequential. I’m 99% sure my 2TB secondary Nvme drive doesn’t have a DRAM cache. Just use it for games - works fine. Really only matters in a ‘high write’ environment.
I almost feel like they're doing this on purpose. The M1 MBA was sufficient for a lot of professionals. It was almost too good, so they had to throttle it back to encourage people to spend more. Ultimately, I went with a 14" MBP M1 for $1616 at BB (Open-Box).
Seriously the M1 air was more powerful than their best intel macbook pros, which professionals had been using for ages. So ya most people don't need more
The ending reminded me of that one episode of family guy where Peter trips and holds his leg 😂
Your reviews are great , it’s a joy watching your posts . From UK
You ever seen Apple take a bite out of you? I am so sorry Anthony. I hope you’re OK!
The bite in the Apple logo could have been a warning 😂
How long until Anthony's face at 11:45 becomes a meme?
Ikr. 11:44 enjoyed every moment of his pain 😀 narcissism punished just in time 👍
Dude, it looked like he was having an orgasm😂
I like your style of video! Very well done and informative. Great work! Down to earth review!
Worker’s Comp!!!!, lol
Nice rev, Anthony!
Hope you heal quickly…
I actually can't wait for the LTT/Mac Address video on this laptop since I'm considering upgrading from a base model 13" Intel MacBook Pro. Performance and all that will obviously be better, but I kinda want to see how it holds up comparatively since M2 had a rough start with the 13" MBP.
I'm in the same boat as you. I started with an MBA went pro and now want to go back to the air.
Well I got my Pro for reasons that ultimately fell through. So I got a higher end Mac for basic web browsing and music lol
So I think “downgrading” will be a better choice this time around.
@@silverwolf6236 I respect that man. I thought I'd be doing a lot more video editing and yet I've done very little. I do more in Logic Pro X than anything else. I like what I see in the new MBAs though. Good luck on your quest sir.
And good luck to you, hopefully this time we both won't have to think of buying another Mac for quite a while lol
@@silverwolf6236 haha. No kidding.
Your first priority should be getting on the treadmill and start dieting lol
I think the same, he needs autoestim
Pretty sure it has Thunderbolt 3 ports not Thunderbolt 4. The M1 /M2 Airs have Thunderbolt / USB4 ports as listed on Apples site. As opposed to Thunderbolt 4 (USBC) for the Studio and MacBook Pro’s.
The timeline needs a split at 7:25 transitioning from "webcam review" into "SSD testing"
At the current pricing you should definitely just get the MacBook Pro 14. Really expensive for the air with similar specs now
11:35 And that's why only certified professionals should be allowed to open an Apple device /s
Because apple literally designed them bad to the point where even a seasoned tech professional can't open the damn thing without hurting himself... Most conventional laptops even use standard phillips screws...
Yeah, they broke it so they could fix it
i don't think so.. better deburring they should do!
@@kurtthealien585 dude they made the thing sharp, its not that complicated, it shouldn't be sharp and i bet you apple employes sliced thier finger on that thing too... its dumb to say people shouldnt fix thier own stuff because apple made that plate sharp(prob didnt meen to)
More like 11:45
Oooh where can i get the toolbox/bag thingy that he used?
Great segway into the dbrand sponsor. Real smooth. 😁
11:38
Apple: That's our cutting edge technology, that and being able to provide additional 256gb storage for 200$
Keeping my M1 MBA 1TB/16. It’s the best tech product I’ve ever purchased. Top 3 for sure.
1:33 bro is literally allergic to grass dead 💀
Fun Game: Do a shot of liquid Benadryl each time Anthony says, "Benadryl."
Anthony is an international treasure. We must protect him at all costs.
Is anyone after him? 👀
I honestly do not like anything Apple does, but I'm half considering getting an M2 Air and running ASAHI Linux on it (avoids the *awful* non-standard keyboard layout and their walled garden)
I just enjoy Anthony's wit, delivery and reviews LOL :) Keep up the great work! .....
what do you do with laptops after you review them?
I'm a simple man. I see Anthony, I click.
11:44 enjoyed every moment of his pain 😀 narcissism punished just in time 👍
I love the new Mac book
got a question, so I need a laptop for my College because I’m going to take photography & maybe video editing in future & I was going to get a MacBook Pro 14-inch M1 Pro base model or should I upgrade to 1 TB because I have the Sony a7 4 & should I get 32GB memory or the standard 16 GB? But one of my friends said MacBook Pro is not good after 2016. I think that what he said was he told me to get an Asus laptop idk what model tho 😆 so what laptop should I get?
what App are you using to check the SSD speed?
The pro exists for sustained workloads and also if you only have that laptop available for any PC gaiming (however limited that may be).
So, yeah. There IS a market for it. But atm, the other M1 pro options are better, I believe.
