I forgot to mention, best battery life for a laptop - still getting over 15+ hrs and it also has updated ray tracing. I rarely game on my Mac, but it is getting better!
Actualmente tengo un MacBook Pro Mid 2012 con upgrade (8ram/500ssd) pero ya se queda “congelado” con algunas tareas, o le cuesta realizarlas, además de ser lentas. Uso principalmente para revisar contenido Online, documentos como Word, PDF, consumir streaming, edición de fotos ocasional nada profesional, juego LOL y algunos otros… recomiendas ir por el AIR M3 8ram/512gb… AIR M2 16ram/512gb o ir por el PRO 8ram/512gb ??? Ayuda por favor 🙏🏼
Can I buy your M2?
hey i have m3 macbook air for around 5 days. the battery life is not the best. how long does it take for the battery life to imrpove
@@bcyayay check the battery health, you might’ve gotten a faulty battery
@@brycemcmillian1519 thanks but i think the issue fixed itself. the battery life now is really good!!
16gb of ram and 512gb storage should be the standard in 2024. Am I the only one that feels that way specially on a laptop that cost over $1k ?
100P this should be the norm
Seeing that every single review says that, and the comments under every review… no. You’re not the only one.
Nope… 8gb of ram is ridiculous for this price
Apple sent out review units with 16gigs of ram and 512gig hd… so I think apple secretly agrees with you. The base model 8gig is embarrassing.
Well, they wouldn’t sell that higher base spec for the same price tho. That’s why they offer a cheaper base configuration good enough for most users.
Nothing like a good unboxing from Karl! 🔥👌🏾
I'm not currently in the market for a MacBook, but your thumbnail game is so impressive that I clicked on the video right away. 😂
love your videos bro..... can't wait for review
Love you Karl!
“Designed by California in Apple” 😂 Love the Video, another great unboxing!
He says this in every apple product unboxing.. I thought no one haven't clocked it yet. 😂
California designed it and California is in apple?! It is designed by apple in California!!
By California in Apple or Apple in California.... doesn't matter - Manufactured in China.
@@RafalBorowski thats how marketing works.
Just picked it yesterday and the ease of use is amazing just like using my iPhone and iPad I hate I waited so long to get it well worth it
Just bought my m2 MBA two weeks ago. It is also an impressive machine I think to upgrade within 4 years or if needed to a MbP for the moment I am more than satisfy. For me Space gray is the best.
Bro that Omega🔥🔥🔥
I bought midnight and love it! Upgraded from
Mbp pro intel
The M2 15 inch air I have it for over 5+ months now close to a year and it’s an absolute beast! I only maxed out the RAM to 24gb ram with 256gb SSD cause i don’t really see a difference with the speeds and I always don’t mind the waiting on the downloads anyway since I’m doing something else to keep me busy. Overall, I’m very satisfied with it! Use multiple tabs, have photoshop open while watching a stream or CZcams, pretty much have multiple applications open and the 24gb ram REALLY helps to not wear out the SSD swap or MacBook itself, absolute powerful machine!
How do you manage the finder ? It’s still a headache for me being used to windows.. which apps are absolute recommended for easy use of the laptop..
@@Desilvno it doesn’t anymore
hi! im struggling to choose if I should get an upgraded RAM M# MBA or a an M3 macbook pro : < ofc the price is a factor but I really wanna know if MBA overheats with editing? thanks!
Exquisite midnight colour
great brand new - just watch those fingerprints!
@@KarlConradThis years midnight is supposed to be like the space black color. It’s not supposed to be like last years.
Good review video!
I loved the intro ❤
Are you not reviewing the Apple vision? also where did you get that orange bracelet you got on
What do you think? 14 inch m3 pro or 15 inch m3 air for developing?
Is it just the MacBook Air that has a similar packaging to the iPad package or does it have it on all the MacBooks
Hello. How is the situation with the minimum 256 GB SSD drive? He stayed like that, slowed down the same way compared to m2?? Thank you!!
nice watch, which model is your watch?
I've got the M1 Air with 16GB of RAM and 512SSD and the most I do with it is edit photos in Lightroom. The machine still runs incredibly well and I can't imagine having the need or desire to upgrade for even the next few years. I still quite like the older Air design and the M2 and M3 chipsets aren't really meaningfully more capable for me. Definitely would be worth the upgrade from an Intel device though!
I have bought an MBA M2 16GM, 256GB SSD last year. I love it and hate it as the same time.
Apple takes their customers for a ride. 16GB and 512GB SSD should be standard.
I am not insane to spend the extra bucks for an SSD upgrade. Apple lost its marbles on that.
@@oliverlison Nice! And very much agreed.
@@oliverlisonOh i actually have a macbook air m2 8gb 256gb ssd tbh it does actually does the job for me ❤️but i feel like 16 gb gonna be double the power that i have already
@@Denmark873nice
@@Denmark873 Well 8 times 2, is 16... So yeah, you nailed it on that feel!
what watch are you wearing? .. it nice
I love the 15" M3 MacBook Air in the midnight!!!!
I'm coming from an M1 Mac Mini and I've been longing to go back to a laptop, but the previous Macbook Air's didn't support two external screens. Now that the M3 one does, I've ordered one with 16gb RAM and 512 SSD in Space Grey.
For 100$ more you could’ve gotten the m3 MacBook Pro! Same specs but more ports and better GPU performance, from Best Buy!
@@josiasalvarado2571 Can't buy from Best Buy for reasons
@@joitsI’m the other way around. I’ve got a Best Buy gift card so no going to Apple.
New silicone cases dropped, are you gonna make a video about them? 👀 (spring 2024 collection for the iPhone)
What are the 256gb ssd speeds for new m3?
They don't put logo lights anymore right ?
Still running the intel MacBook Pro 2020, but tempted with new MacBook Air lineup 🤔
"Designed by California in Apple": my favorite thing to read as I open my new MacBook box :)
Appreciate the short but informative video, Karl! I'm 🤏this close to pulling the trigger, but coming from the Windows world, I hope I can do some (very) light gaming, mainly BG3. Did you try any games on it?
I’m still using my MacBook Pro mid 2012 with 4gb of RAM. I think I must give it a rest now and I’m considering buying MacBook Air M3 8gb of ram 1 TB, which I intend to use for another decade :)
I'll wait until I can output to two external monitors with the laptop open, because this is what I do for my current work setup.
seriously considering upgrading to this from my 2017 MBP 13"
not worth wait for M4
Me too
yes. they dont give the protective anodisation around the apple logo.
I have a windows laptop since 2014... This is the one i want to upgrade to before summer. Not sure about the colour though.
eep reading advice to get the 16GB MBA M2 or M3 rather than the base 8GB. But when I look on the apple sites it seems you have to first take 512gb (+++££) and THEN upgrade to 16GB (+++£). Can I not just take 16GB and 256gb option? Insight gratefully received.
My early 2015 MacBook Pro is still chugging along 😅
They could have used the new technology of the fanless blowers: the flat ultrasound blowers....
and make the screen mechanism 360* for the tablet mode..
and apple pencil support...
and multi OS option (iPadOS+MacOS)
and 512/16GB for the base config.
Those features would have justified the price and the upgrade
I have a m2 13 inch in midnight but cannot bare the fingerprints on it, I’m going to trade it in and get 860$ would it be better to spend a 250$ extra to get the m3 in space black or get the m2 for only 100$ more. Although sounds dumb it’s a personal opinion.
SD card slot is a want for me, not a need. and the display from the pro models it is really tough to go backwards. 16GB of RAM and 512GB of Storage is standard. i'd love one of these as a secondary device but thats what my ipad pro is for. (i still really want one)
Why is that a Omega SpeedMaster Prof in gold on a leather strap I see? Gorgeous. The laptop is cool too lol. (I have a saphire sandwich, really want the new white face one grrr.)
Hey i want to buy a laptop for video editing,
Im planning to get MacBook air m3 (8-256) and 2tb external ssd
Will this be enough for editing lengthy podcast videos and 4k videos..
Please suggest
In my opinion It would save a little battery when running also a bit faster than MB Air M2 but not enough for MB Air M2 users to update. Just one notice on MB Air M3 is about Its SSD speed that's faster than MB Air M2.
Midnight Perfect❤
when did this launch?
Thank you for review. Probably time for upgrade from M1 for bigger 15 inch screen 😉
I just got the MBP M3 Pro and it came with glass slightly smashed in the corner WTF
Good stuff
What bracelet is that btw? Hermes?
I am just confused between the Air M3 and the Pro M3 as after we spec out the air with good storage and memory, it’s almost same priced as the pro M3…. and I also need a laptop for years to come atleast 6 to 7 years minimum.
im looking forward to macbook pro new lineup
2:34 love that wallpaper
Wish to have space black on Macbook airs so bad
I’m curious what is the SSD speed 256 vs 512
I'm wondering if I should trade in my m3 pro macbook pro for this and save like $900.
The logo, needs to light up again man!😮💨
I've had the midnight M2 for six months now and had no idea there was a fingerprint issue.
Do you live in the cold and have dry fingers
Just got a brand new M3 Pro, wondering if i should return it for a new M3 Air?
If it’s the M3 with the Pro chip than I’d keep it. The weights not that different.
for all the watch enthusiasts here. that is a pretty beautiful speeedmaster right there
Is this 13-inch?
Got a 2010 MBP, time for an upgrade 😂
Test the speakers
Can i do 4k@60 fps vidio edit ?
I’ve got a 15” MBP from mid 2017(intel i7) is the M3 really a massive jump?
Any intel upgrade is an upgrade!
Hi, does anyone here have experience with the color Midnight and if it scratches easily over time (regarding the M2 mb)?😬
Especially with the new anodized surface I‘m thinking about purchasing this color and I wouldn‘t mind some scratches around the ports, but if after time it started to also show the silver aluminum around the edges this would be a reason for me to choose a different color… maybe someone here can help me out😊
Is it worth it if you don’t have a MacBook?
Love your videos. Thanks for the good work! What's up with the audio on this video? Very weak and tinny. Just watch an MKBHD video and then this one played next and I could barely hear you. Had to almost double the volume level.
Hmmm. I'll have to check on that. Thanks for the feedback!
In my opinion, BECAUSE the price of the m2 air dropped, I will get the M2 MacBook Air because I need that 16gb memory configuration because it is now A$1,899 instead of A$2,099
it's called "greed". It’s one thing when you make an expensive product and include all the new technologies in it and for 5 years you can forget about updating the gadget. It’s another matter when they deliberately (artificially) stretch out modernization (including programmatically limiting the capabilities of equipment) in order to add some little thing every year and sell it to those who are ready to spend money on minor upgrades every year.
right earbud only
Makes a whole new video to show the same aluminum case, doesn't say much about chip technologies
You talk about all the specs which the Apple official infos. But there’re some problems that M series MacBook which you need to review the most, it’s the touchpad and screenshot.
Of course you said that there’s no problem with the touchpad and screenshot. But many people experienced MacBook Air m1 with bad experience of touchpad after buying the new macbook several months afterwards. The touchpad not smooth, even MacBook Pro 2012 touchpad was so very smooth and good, but this air M1 was so bad and mot smooth.
And also after screenshot usually we put the shot directly insert it into Words or Apple Pages. After put it the screenshots for several times, it will loading so ever lasting! Never experienced it from MacBook Pro 2012, even using other things at the same time was never damage from the screenshot like M series MacBook.
So, I don’t know whether your review on M3 junk did the same other like m2 or m3? Without any research or experience it? Better not misinforming.
fingerprint complaint is literally the biggest first-world problem lol 😂😂😂😂😂
You're watching a review video. TF did you expect?
Hey Karl, I'll take this MBA off your hands, seeing that the colour won't affect my eyes....or pocket 🤣😁🇹🇹
Sooooo just like the previous MacBook Air?
Yup!
Kaaarl 😃
Nice
Is the M1 still worth it?
Depends what your using it for
I watch these videos just to hear you say "Designed by California in Apple"
0:55 “designed by California in Apple” 💀
its worth the upgrade from m1 or m2 for casual users? no. its worth the upgrade from intel or any other windows laptop(non gaming) cuz you wanna switch to mac? yes
Answered my Question. Thanks
no upgrade for me.
Viva Nicaragua
Bought the M3 , with 24 RAM and 1 TB 😂 I will be using Logic Pro…
Keeping my M2 lol
Please giveaway me thissss i needed for studies brother ❤🎉
Lot of love❤
👇 people who noticed he said designed by california in apple
YAD
this video is brought to you by Apple.
You say "obviously" a lot.
gi me nor 🥺
Its notch looks so bad.
😁😁😁👍👍👍
Average users no need to upgrade that much. Might as well save up and go for a pro if you are going to upgrade the air. Average users will be just fine with 8gm of ram and 256gb ssd.
FIRST
first? haha
Close! 😂😊
Notch on a f**king laptop screen what is wrong with apple
i wouldn't get that ugly dark blue color even if it didn't get any fingerprints. Starlight or Space Gray are the only nice colors.
