@@LeMatt87n Exactly... I never see this mentioned anywhere. Apple supports their machines for approx 5 years. You are loosing about 1/2 the support years with an M1. So if you don't care that you won't be able to upgrade to the latest OS in 3 years save a few bucks but for me you add in those extra years of support on top of the new goodies, and it definitely tips the scale to M3.

M3 perf advantage irrelevant to 99% of users. The real issue is that you can't order a 16GB M1 from Walmart. So, anyone who likes to have a lot of web tabs open will find it runs out of memory. The memory limitation definitely impacts "normal" users just with browsers. I actually prefer the M1 chassis and speakers. But it would have to be a 16GB version, which I guess you can now only get when it's available on the outlet.

Instead of just comparing M1 and M3, comparing 8GB vs 16GB is more informative to most of their target users. Benchmark is not that important to Air users. Here in Japan, many UKpostsrs compare these machines by showing their screens directly (not scores). They run the same MacOS and applications, and check their responses and time consuming. You can easily identify the differences. In conclusion, no much different between M1 and M3 when they are with the same 8GB, big difference between 8GB vs 16GB. M1 16GB mostly beats M3 8GB. M3's improvements can be identified more easily when it is with 16GB. These facts are far more important.

Do you believe in future proofing a Macbook? My current dilemma is I am getting my second MacBook as a responsible adult. My first one was almost ten years ago. A 2013 15inch MacBook Pro 8gb and 512 storage in film school. I did not know anything about it in film school back then, but my college only operated with Macintosh. I maxed out the ram and storage year after year until it wrecked itself in 2016 the complete broke itself physically (the battery burst and the trackpad cracked out). I learned so much from this experience. Pay more now or pay twice later, but being a college student back then, I rarely had money. I am getting back into digital arts "slowly". I own a iMac at home I use for general everyday task. For my laptop to purchase, I am looking at a M2 or M3 16Ram and 1TB or a M1 Pro 16Ram and 1TB. Thoughts on helping me choose for the long run? I also understand no technology stays forever, but I am looking to get atleast 4-5 years out of this.

Futureproofing a Mac.... whats the lifespan Apple gives to its products? I mean, how many years of updates and service they gonna provide? This is from google AI: Apple supports most MacBook models for nearly 10 years after purchase, with the exception of hardware service for obsolete products. This means that MacBooks will receive operating system updates for about 8-10 years, after which Apple will no longer support the software. However, Mac laptops may be eligible for an extended battery-only repair period of up to 10 years from when the product was last distributed for sale, subject to parts availability.

2024 and Apple still releasing laptops with 8/256 variant as base model. Reason why Snapdragon Elite matters. Hopefully if its as good as advertised on UKposts videos Apple would get some sense knocked in them to increase their base variant specs
@ahaimes6320
@ahaimes6320 Місяць тому
From the leaks, most premium X Elite laptops will start at 16GB/512GB but be priced >$1600. So not having a lower config may mean that millions of people will never be able to afford an X Elite Windows machine. Whereas Apple offers people the choice to save $400+ with lesser specs. That is great for consumers!

Didn’t mention the 10 bit vs 8 bit display. The M3 screen is 20% brighter at 500 vs 400 nits, and also supports 1 billion vs 16 million colours, so all content, from UKposts to the home screen, to word documents look heaps better.

Yeah but when the M1 display is by no means subpar why not pick the M1 up? For 699$ or even 549$ in Micro Center it’s hard to find new laptops with as good of a screen as the Air
@samlawrence4670
@samlawrence4670 Місяць тому
Of course it is it’s got mag safe, a bigger better screen dual display support, much better performance especially in graphics, better battery life and will get support for 2-3 years longer than the M1. Now if your budget is topping out at $700 then the M1 is still bit of a no brainer but I would go refurbished or 2nd hand at that point and save another couple hundred bucks.

@@anetizen6404 I have an iMac 27" with 32 Gig of Ram and 1TB Fusion Drive (128 SSD) that was bought in 2016, but built late 2015 that has Monterey OS from 2021 and the updates end in October this year I think. So it only got 5 to 6 years of OS renewals and the security updates were about 8 years. So how many years left does the M1 Macbook Air have left for OS renewals? Not sure how long my iMac 27" will go on working for after the security updates finish later this year? I only use the computer for internet browsing FerrariChat, UKposts, Ebay, Facebook and IG. Perhaps my as new iMac 27", which has a great display, will be okay for my uses for a while yet?

The M3 is using a new smaller 3nm chip. It's like a version 1! Just like how the M2 is an improved version of the M1. So I think the M4 with more cores will obviously be a step up, working out the bugs of the M3 (over-heating?). So, skip the M3!
@davidtodd2104
@davidtodd2104 Місяць тому
M3 isn’t overheating. This dude messed up as he reasoned lower voltages were an indication of throttling. They aren’t as the M3 chip is 3nm and doesn’t require as high a voltage. The M3 runs tests @ 30% lower voltage, slightly lower temps at 20% higher performance over the M2. I like the channels but this dude makes a lot of mistakes.

The M1 MBA is still a great computer in 2024 and the price is fantastic. Even if you don’t need the extra processing power of the M3 chip, the M3 MBA (and the M2 model which is at least $100 less) feature much better webcams than the M1 model, displays that are a little bigger and much brighter, and offer a MagSafe port for charging, which frees up a USB-C port. Is all of that worth $400? Maybe not. But the M2 MBA has all of that and it can be found on sale for a couple hundred less than the brand new M3 models. I’m thrilled that Apple and Walmart have partnered to offer the M1 MBA for $699. It’s a great computer and a terrific value. Especially for college students or anyone who wants the high quality Apple computing experience without paying the high prices Apple charges for its latest models.
