It’s 2024 now. Just wondering if you still feel the same about the 8GB RAM? I’m in this debate with myself right now about 8GB/16GB and just going M1 vs M2 vs M3. I do photo editing, but for personal use only, and work through Microsoft Remote Desktop to a virtual Windows desktop (no option there…employer choice). It runs great on my wife’s M1 MBA but I only got to spend about 30 min trying it out. Curious if your view has changed with new MacOS releases on the same machine.

dhbkm is that you?

Is it valid to edit videos using Adobe Premier Pro on this laptop?

just purchase a glass/ screen protector that is 360 degrees protection and no matter how many times it falls or bumps to surfaces

Exactly what I needed to hear! Seeing these used for $200 do we still think they’d serve me well for starting Ky youtube channel? Editing Talking head and action cam vids for a mountain biking channel and just need to get started cheap!

I have the Logitech MX Keys keyboard for Mac too and really like it but it hasn't been without problems. The concept of the backlight coming on based on ambient light and when your hands are near it is great but doesn't really work properly, and ever since I've had the keyboard (about 2 years), the backlight just comes on and off randomly when it's sat idle with no one near it, whether in daylight or darkness, so drains the battery. Logitech 'Customer Service' is the absolute WORST and do not want to know about this problem that I and many others have had with this keyboard, judging by various forums I've been on about it. No one has managed to get a proper response or solution from Logi about it. Logi refuse to acknowledge there's an issue with the randomly flashing backlight and any request for support, they just fob you off by telling you how marvellous the features of their product are and then send you the instruction manual again (sometimes in Chinese) as if to say that there is no problem - you're just too stupid to use it properly. Then they will close the support ticket as 'resolved'. Every time. They want you to give up and go away, which I wouldn't do. After much trying and nagging, I did actually manage to persuade them to send me a replacement keyboard, which was a miracle, but this one has exactly the same issue and so I have actually given up now. I simply turn off the backlight completely during the day or overnight when I'm not using it, to stop it randomly flashing on and off the whole time, but I don't always remember to do that. Another issue is that the keyboard sometimes forgets what you have assigned to the F keys in the Logi Options software, so where I have the 'Lock' key (F19) assigned to increase volume on my Sonos system, sometimes pressing that to turn it up will just lock my Mac instead and it takes a few clicks of my mouse to make it remember the special commands I have assigned to the F keys. I've assigned the otherwise useless Eject key to lock my Mac but it sometimes forgets that too. Pretty irritating. And, the aluminium-coloured coating is rubbing off on the edge below the Space bar, so starting to look a bit shabby. Apart from all that though, it's a very nice keyboard - just don't expect anything other than to receive patronising remarks and several copies of the instruction manual if you ever have a problem with it!

Experienced Mac user here, this is a short and very informative video. I even learned a few things. Keep it up!

1:45 Isn't that the Left hand side?

All the electronics are in the chin of the I-mac. It is not possible to get rid of the chin.

I’m debating on getting a pro if I stay in academia. I have an air and it’s not powerful enough to run office 365 plus reference managers. I end up studying at home on the iMac which can handle it but I don’t think I’ll be able to stay home as much.

Super helpful, using it for xbox so it's bye bye

I just need 4 usb ports for external ssds, nothing else, what do I get? Thank you

So... bought a new iMac with M3 processor, but my external camera and speaker/mic, printer, scanner, etc all still old USB ports. So need a hub that has at least 5 usb ports- any suggestions out there???

I have been a Windows user my entire life, and I'm about to commit to switching to Apple for my computer, phone, watch, and headphones. I was an iPhone user from the 4,6,8, and X but switched over to the Samsung S22/S23 line when my Apple watch broke on during a deployment. I have a Windows rig with a water-cooled 14900k and 4090, as well as a very powerful Windows gaming laptop. Do you have any advise for me about switching back into the Apple ecosystem? I'm holding off and waiting for the 16 Pro Max iPhone to be released and the m4 chips for the next-generation Apple MacBook. I miss iMessage, facetime, Airdrop, and the stability I had with iPhones. However, I have never used an Apple computer before.

What software did you use for this speech-to-text function please ? An app native to all the Silicon chip Macs ??

Старый? У меня ноутбук Леново и ему уже 13 лет

Pay double and get something that will last, or buy a windows machine and be forced to replace it in a year.

Thanks for this video! It is very informative! I heard a lot of useful information in this video, which interested me very much, because there are so many opinions about this tablet.

A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own and will use modern smart phones??

Is there actually a person who is buying a 999usd laptop, but can't afford to spend a hunderd more? 100usd is certainly not nothing, but considering the longetivity of a laptop it almost is. If 100usd is a problem for you, you shouldn't be spending 1k on a laptop nowadays.

I've had my M1 since launch and this thing still gets 2 days of battery life - when I'm not playing Resident Evil or The Sims lol

Oh it's compatible on Call of duty mobile

dude, you hit the space bar with your index finger when you type? Seems odd but we are all unique. Thanks for a great video.

Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

and yet touching the screen on other apple devices which leaves finger print; You are okay with that.

Jesus, I wish someone would have a Tech channel that isn’t exactly the same as the hundreds of other Tech channels Loving their Apple products and talking the same points as the others channels It’s like you get a script from Apple to read Same setup’ shots of everyone happily working away Too many tech channels doing the exact same thing

Honest opinion on 24gb ram on MacBook Air?

I live in Asia and the recent heatwave here has highlighted one of the biggest issues with the MacBook Air. Mine kept overheating meaning I was getting the spinning beach ball. It was the first time I had ever experienced instability with the machine and it lasted all week. I think the lack of cooling is not a problem if you live in temperate regions but in this part of the world, it made the machine unreliable. Of course this won't be the norm for many people but in hot climate the MacBook Pro is a much better option. I had the same issue with my iPad Pro and so these chips do run hotter than people realise. Laptops really do need fans simply to prolong their lifespan if for nothing else.

Absolutely great take on the MacBook Air. I've been using the base M2 Air since release day and this thing handles everything I throw at it without a problem. The heaviest tasks I do weekly are with Photoshop and audio editing. I have done a few small video edits as well. The Air breezes through it all. It's a great machine for most people.

MKBHD ?

I don't really know what to choose. the MacBook M3 Air 16GB/512GB (€1,760) or the MacBook M3 Pro 8GB/512GB (€1,850). I would mainly use it to edit photos on photoschop. the better screen quality and SD card slot on the PRO model is a big advantage for me. Or am I better off with the Air M3 16GB/512GB because it has more RAM? I use a Nikon D750 and shoot an average of 500 photos per year. So not a heavy user I guess? My current laptop is an Acer nitro 5 (8GB/512GB) from 2019, but not really optimal

I bought m3 10 gpu, 512 gb ssd , 8 gb ram , I don’t do multi tasking , I either edit on iMovie or writing , one at a time, is it enough or should I change it to 16 gb ram

Do you have an extra laptop you don’t need that I can have? I’m too poor right now to get another one and you’d really help me. Edit: My other one broke! Also I’ve been subscribed for years man, I’m glad to see you getting sponsors and still making good videos.

What do you guys think of the M3 MacBook Air so far?! :)

Great video, Terren. Thank you. If I decide to choose the M3 MBA over the M3 Pro MBP I'll definitely need a hub.

My Z Flip 4has a 6.7 inch screen and I watch a ton of videos on it. So I'm probably going to pick the iPhone 16 Pro Max as my first iphone ever

I have an exam tmrw and it’s currently 10pm😭

In almost exact same situation rn. It's 1.14 and exams is at 9.30. Damn

How can i get This video games that U show in yor iphone, couse i dont see this games in my App Store. Thaks for yor video.

Cool! Good to learn about it. Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

The Ultra 2 is finally available as a refurb from Apple. My old watch was 3 years old and needed a new battery very soon. With the refurb price and selling my old watch, the price was almost reasonable. I was worried it would be too big but I have admit, I really like it. It was only available with the Ocean band, which I didn't think I would like but I like that too. Very comfortable and light. I have not signed up for cellular but I am considering. Great vid! Thanks!

Unfortunately, feature like “pinning” screen and multiple screens are not available unless used with iPhone 15. I was shocked those features don’t even work with their own “Station”. Horribly disappointed in the audio. At full blast I can barely hear mine. Now, these features coming out on the new “Lite” version, so that means no upgrade firmware to get those lost features on my 2 month old Rokid Max.

Does it hurt your computer to use a PD port on a computer that doesn't need the power, like a Mac mini?

Bro turned it into a Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 1:38

sick vid bro

What’s the watch band you have in the video. Not the cloth looking ones…the metal link type band?

I have an old Apple Watch 6 I think it is. I’m wondering if the 2 is worth it now? Or should I wait til whenever the 3 is out? I like that it has a titanium casing

I think 14,2 for MacBook Pro is smaller : a 14,6 screen will be a good alternative between 15,2 MacBook Air and 13,6 MacBook Air

Me, deciding to watch another video without going back to study or getting the sleep wow
