The big game changer is Apple Silicon. M1 draws 7 watts idle and 40 under full load. Intel draws ~20watts idle. More energy = more loss as heat.
@RiZeLegiT 2 роки тому
they’ve always been great, they were just too expensive for how quick the batteries would die out overtime, they’d get really hot and loud, the expensive storage increase options, and they’d have OS slowdown overtime. However, imo it was a lot of intels fault for bottlenecking them. I love windows pcs but a mac is a must in my opinion, its such a super smooth and clean experience. Watching movies on the retina displays is great and the speaker are so good for laptops. Macs have ALWAYS been great, they just got a lot better, cleaned up the few cons they had, and finally making that price tag totally worth it.

Some folks have reported playing frickin GTA 5 on the damn thing at Normal-High settings at 50-60fps at 1080p... Again though, this being a first-of-its-kind machine you have to overcome some barriers. There isn't a MacOS version of the game, so you have to create a Steam bottle on CrossOver and play games via a DirectX/Vulkan -> Metal translation layer, and Rosetta & CrossOver handles the CPU part. And then the Rockstar launcher doesn't actually launch, so you have to get a fresh copy of the game off the internet (from 'questionable' sources). So you won't be playing GTA Online on it, but the Story Mode plays just fine. And despite all of the translation layers in place, the graphics of games sometimes having 2 translation layers (DirectX -> Vulkan -> Metal) and Rosetta for the CPU, GTA 5 still manages to run at 60fps, on an ultrabook. It's a testament to how good of a job Apple has done with Rosetta, and of course, the M1 itself.

All of his observations of the basic things like being able to open it with one hand, no wobble in the keyboard, good speakers, amazing trackpad etc are the things us Apple folk have been talking about all along. The bits you actually physically interact with is something Apple nails so well and it's hard to explain to people how these things impact your entire experience without them actually experiencing them.

I guess the screen is a tiny bit larger but I don't even notice that. The M2 does have MagSafe charging, which is cool. Other than that I'm not really sure it's worth the extra $$$. My staff pointed out that the M2 will likely have longer Mac OS support, but that's not much of a consideration for home users.

I was interested in the Macbook Air M1 when it came out, but I still had my Macbook Pro 13" 2014 which I was able to put together by buying different used parts. But the screen started to mess up on it. I saw that the base model of the m1 was on sale for $799 at Micro Center. So I went and checked out some of these long term reviews like yours, and I decided to pick it up. I am loving it so far. The speakers are mind blowing for their small form factor, the keyboard is really good as well. The battery is great, and even with only 8GB of ram, things have been performing great, I am able to multi-task as much as one would need to on a device like this. I can even do some retro emulation and some newer games. I am getting some drop outs here and there with my wifi, but it might be the fault of my wifi more so than the laptop. Also I agree with you that 256GB isn't really enough, but the base model is the one that was the most discounted at Micro Center. For gaming and more intensive work, I have my recently built Windows PC. Ryzen 5600x, 16Gb of 3600mhz ram, and a 3060TI. I even will remote from my Macbook if I am at school or somewhere else, to my machine or PS4 at home to play some games. So for pretty much the same use case as you, surfing the web, basic productivity, watching videos, and even some light gaming, this device is a great deal.
@Watchandlearn91 2 роки тому
I have the 16GB / 1TB RAM Macbook Air M1 and I can confirm this laptop does everything and more. I have had absolutely 0 issues with it. I use it for writing my books that will never get published, hammering out code, running docker containers, and all the usual office needs (email, pdfs, MS Office, etc...). I also play games on it occasionally but the list of games that you can play on it is very small and rather disappointing, which is the only downside to this machine for me. That said, I do have my nintendo switch for all my "gaming on the go" purposes... Also worth noting that I have a linux workstation that I use for super heavy lifting (scientific computing, long compiles, etc..) and for the small amount of pc gaming I do occasionally. I imagine that the "one external monitor" may really hold someone back from buying this but that is really the only con I see.

the base model is (near) perfect - I do everything on it... it's my main work machine (office applications) sometimes - when I have everything open, lot of safari tabs, numerous long pdf's etc.. I feel some limitations from the 8gb of ram but nothing dramatic (and it's my only 'negative'). It outpaces my previous Macbook pro in all categories. Am also a huge fan and user of the seamless integration with my iPad. Storage - for me is not an issue, with the cloud and fast ssd's... My previous gold standard was the MacBook Air 2013 - battery was epic on that one, but it was underpowered (even editing a large word doc was sometimes difficult) so I had to upgrade to a MacBook Pro. With the M1, the Air has all the power I need, an excellent screen and a great battery...

I have the Intel Quad i-5, and I’d trade out happily for the M1 air…the Intel units get quite hot just doing standard workload, and around 5-6 hours into a work day, the battery is pretty low. I’ve noticed Microsoft Teams burns a lot of resources- so that may be the reason my battery doesn’t last
@Spinachomelette 2 роки тому
Had the M1 MBP base model since release and I love it, love the touchbar, love the speakers and screen but hate the keyboard (nothing will top a x1 carbon). Only issues I’ve encountered recently is battery life isn’t like when I first got it when doing the same tasks.

NOTHING beats Thinkpad keyboards. This is the only thing that's keeping me back from getting an air...
@danielhenderson8316 2 роки тому
Occasionally, I think about dumping my iPad Pro for an X12 Detachable because the IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad are the best you can get for keyboard. Even the detachable keyboard is pretty amazing.

Thanks for excellent coverage! Pandemic has thrown us into different lifestyles. Now I use zoom or streaming for meetings. I am ordering MacBook air as my other devises 2 smart phones, ipad,. Are wearing out somewhat. A lot of usage last over year and a half. So a base model will be more than effecient. I average around 6 hours of zoom time a week, 2, 7 hour sessions,. And 1, 3 day convention per year. Your indepth review helped a lot to decide on upgrades. Saving me hundreds $

Quick tip: you can actually use an M1 MacBook with dual screens using a DisplayLink compatible adapter, it negotiates using USB protocols, it takes a hit on resolution but nothing major if multiple screens is a must.

Estatic to have grab one of these a week ago! at Best Buy with student deals at $749. They're at $799 RN (8/11/2021) at Best Buy. Been PC my whole life and this is my first Mac ever and I have an iPhone but really blown away by the battery life and how snappy this M1 chip is! Looking forward to the future apple m1x, m2 chips or whatever they decide to call its truly a game changing chip.
@JordanThomasmedia 2 роки тому
Good call on the upgrade of the memory beyond 256gb if you use this for more than productivity tasks. Agree that using your phone capacity is a good measure for how much memory you should buy. I do however think for the average person 256gb is plenty. That monitor you're using looks awesome. What monitor is it?
@andrewharding4806 2 роки тому
I’m an average person and my current (old as rocks) MacBook Air has 256gb and I don’t have that much memory left. I would recommend for the average user in 2022 to get no less than 512gb on a new computer. This will allow for “some” future proofing!

Dimitry, listen my story! I've a very limited budget and already decided to go for new m1 macbooks as my portable editing machine. I can buy either 8/512 air or 8/256 pro. I was revisiting the old reviews and recent videos of those machines yet I wasn't able to decide where should I go. Just as I was thinking, you posted this video and you answered some of my questions on which no one else was talking about. Thanks for helping me to make my decision. Keep creating videos. I really like your presentation and the artistic flavor you keep creating in every single videos. ❤️
