Is it worth buying this repurposed machine? Or just spend the extra on an M3 Air?
@mohammedramadan3480 Місяць тому
I'm a web developer and has M1 with 16GB of rams and I can tell you that this is a beast until now and I always use it in lower power mode 😂😂😂😂😂. The only mistake I did is having it 256GB of storage, but since it's my working machine and used for work only, that's totally fine. I think if someone creates content can still use it but he/she must have super fast external SSD and you will be good for many years.
@Niasyy Місяць тому
@@mohammedramadan3480 why is 256GB ssd a mistake for you? is it because you need more storage or more transfer speed? I'm only using 80GB of ssd on my previous 128GB SSD model and I'm really hesitating whether it's worth upgrading to 256GB or extra money for 512GB , knowing that I'll be using it for a long time.

I have an M1 base Mac mini with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, but use an external 4TB SSD as the Home drive. Functions as the “headquarters” computer. I figure an M1 MBA with the same base specs would make sense as a work computer as all family photos, etc. are stationed at headquarters.

If you directly compare the Apple RAM prices, you just simply doing the same like you compare the HDD price with SSD price.. Just to reach the 400GB/s transfer speed what M2/M3 Max laptops have, you need 8 channels DDR5, and PCIe 8.0 x16 slot for the GPU to plug.. just show me any laptop with this spec (so with 8 RAM slots, and also has a PCIe 8.0 x16 slot on it). Becaude the current PCIe 4.0 x16 slot where you plug your GPU has 32GB/s limit.. compare that with the 400GB/s the diff is 13x.. so the same like you compare the HDD with 150MB/s to a SSD with 3400MB/s, the diff there are also 13x.. so guess do they have the same price in the same size..?)

I loved my M1 AIr until I broke it. Then I upgraded to the M1 14" Pro at a really good sale. The Air was really light, small and compact, easy to carry around, battery lasted forever, great machine. I actually miss it. I upgraded to the 14" Pro Base model mainly for the XDR screen quality. Only downfall to the M1 Air, being that it is almost 4 years old, is you may only get 3 more years of Mac OS updates. Apple tends to stop supporting OS updates after 7 years, but I still have a 2013 MBP 15" that works fine even on the older OS.

Costs stay down and Apple can continue to sell these thru Walmart and show the DoJ that they are "team players" 😉 ......

Apple's strategy here makes a ton of sense for all the reasons you describe. I'm a college professor, and lots of students have crappy Windows computers simply because that's all they can afford. Going forward, more students will be able to afford a M1 MBA, which is still a high-quality machine and a great entry-point into the world of Macs. Personally, I would LOVE to see the 12" Macbook come back, powered by M2 or even M1, with a magic not butterfly keyboard. I would buy that in a minute. I bought my folks an M1 Macbook Air for $800 when the M2 models first came out and they are still loving it. If I ever get tired of lugging my 15" MBA around, maybe I'll pick up a cheap M1 MBA for travel. (It's really that hard to travel with the 15" MBA tho.) Thanks for the video!

I was so confused when I saw it I just thought that they were trying to get rid of all the stock by selling it so cheap I am glad they still are selling hoping to upgrade from 2017 Air

Both my daughter and I have the M1 air, and absolutely no complaints! Amazing value, and performance

The issue that I have with the M1 MacBook Air and M1 MacBook Pro is that flexgate-like problems are showing up in these models. I have a 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro and I expect that they fixed it with the new case design. I have not run into anyone with similar problems on those models nor on the M2 Airs. So I don't recommend the M1 13.3 models. I personally prefer larger screens but there are times when the 16 is too big and heavy.

flexgate? so ur r sitting on it?

I'm still waiting for an M1, M2 or M3 12 inch Macbook... Meanwhile, I have upgraded my 2016 model with a new battery and a 2017 motherboard (faster CPU, more RAM), and I will keep on using it for as long as possible, alongside my M1 Macbook Air, my 2015 15 inch Macbook Pro and a bunch of Linux PCs.
@clintmiller88 Місяць тому
I definitely recommend the m1 but if you can wait till the holidays the newer design m2 MacBook Air will be on sale for 899-999 and the design alone is worth it screen and chases is more durable.
@jw_au Місяць тому
It will be interesting to see if/when they sell it in other markets like here in Australia what the price will be… maybe $999???
@barrydraper Місяць тому
It's a brilliant idea, to reach a whole new audience. Correction: It's a $700 ($699) MacBook, not a $600 one. Am I to presume that in 1 to 2 years, WalMart will get the M2 MacBook?

I have bought and sold many an M1 MacBook Air. Used to be able to flip them for pretty good profit. Now it’s hard to get people on Facebook marketplace to pay 500 for them. And I mean good ones with low battery cycles. People don’t know how good these Machines are. I had a heckuva time selling an upgraded 512 GB one for 650 but with perseverance I finally did after putting it on craigslist. Still would love to pounce on them if I could find them for 400 which I probably could talk some people down to that but it’s just so hard flipping them now, it probably wouldn’t be worth it. Wouldn’t be worth the time and effort.

Thats still a good laptop and being able to get it new for 700bucks is even better. It just should be 16GB/512GB out the box

Correction, Walmart stores have actually sold MacBooks in the past. Also, fun fact, Im not sure if it was a mistake in the system, but my local store actually had the space gray version of this mac book in $200 👀

NGL, I don't know what it was about that M1 Macbook Air, but my experience with subsequent Macbook Pro iterations (M1 Pro/ M2 Max) wasn't quite an enjoyable experience as it was with the Air.

I have a M1 Air with a 1Tb drive and I suspect it will last for many years.
@lairdinho Місяць тому
Problem is the inability to option is with 16GB from Walmart. A $900 16GB MacBook would be very nice.

They also have the MacBook Air with M1 on Best Buy for $649, an actual $600 dollar Mac laptop

This is genius! This is like luxury clothing brands collaborating with Budget conscious stores to provide clothing for those with limited budgets.
@dansanger5340 Місяць тому
It makes me happy knowing Apple will continue to make and sell the base model M1 MacBook Air. I've been using mine every day for over two years and still have no urge to upgrade. When the 16 GB/500GB M3 Air is available new for under $1000 then maybe I'll start thinking about it.
@valdir7426 Місяць тому
really annoyed with the 'well it's for people who want to browse the web and emails' type of command no the m1 is still a very powerful machine you can do quite heavy work on. For me it's a music production machine I use professionally, and it's largely enough. Besides the perf difference with the m3 is not that huge. Now there's a huge resale market as I suppose this discount will not be available outside of the US
@KC-bi9jw Місяць тому
Exactly. You can do anything on an any of the Mac’s now. The only difference is how fast do you want to render and export your work.
@heroninja1125 Місяць тому
the people that limit the capabilities of their device to web browsing and emails should just get a cheap used ipad with a Bluetooth keyboard.

Macbook Air 11 2015 with 8Go was the best laptop I've ever had.
@rightwingsafetysquad9872 Місяць тому
It's only $100 cheaper than it was 2 years ago. It's not that this is a bad deal. I'd buy one if I didn't already have one. But it's not impressive in the slightest. Reminds me of Microsoft telling people to buy an Xbox 360 instead of an Xbox One if they didn't want to play online only games.

M3 air power saving mode vs M1 air standard power mode would be interesting video

Got 2 years from a G5 tower, got 14 years from a 13 inch Macbook pro, got 14 years from a 27 inch iMac and a Mac mini used for home theatre. Around 4 years from several iPhones, when the battery dies I just buy a new one. The SE gen 2 died 3 yrs from a hardware fault, probably dropped too many times. Now on a Studio and a 2018 mini used for the home theatre. All in all I thought they were good buys. G5 was rubbish but as usual its luck of the draw. If I bought the extended warranty all would have been fine.

The XElite chip must be an amazing chip. If apple a company that does not give discounts can allow the sale of one of their iconic laptops to be sold at a $300 discount in order to capture the market before the rival launches their product in laptops is kind of smart.
@anantakrishna4462 5 днів тому
They have done it before. iphone 11 is still available in shops. I think it is safe to say they aren't still running down stock so they must be still making them.
