I went for Mini M2 Pro 32gb 1TB 10cpu/16gpu cores same with yours, main reason is that I only have small desk and mini will be perfect for that. Also, I mostly working on software development, and some video editing and photoshop. That works for me. Studio size is too big for my small desk

Do you have a link or name of the port extender you use at 2:28? Looks super clean! I don't think I missed it in the description, thanks in advance

OMG Thank you!! That silent icon was driving me crazy. dying here.

Hi Kyle! Thanks for this detailed video! I’m a new subscriber :) very informative. I’m pretty sure I want to go with the air with the same specs you have. I just feel like the pro would be too bulky for me. A few reasons I’m still hesitant are that I would mostly use it with a monitor and the fact that I will be editing KZbin videos.. My KZbin channel is fairly new and most of my videos would be about 20 minutes long, nothing too heavy. The 2 main programs I use for work are photoshop and illustrator so I almost feel like I HAVE to buy the pro😅 I guess I’m wondering what you would do in my shoes? Thanks again!

What camera for the video ?

what app is that 1:15

As someone who just wanted a pc and ended up making 3000$ pc, i would go with air

Since Air M3 doesn't have HDMI, is it possible to connect an external monitor? Can someone explain how to do it? The monitor isn't an Apple one, and I often have compatibility issues with my mid-2012 MacBook Pro (it's a lovely old machine, please don't make fun of her haha). Thanks in advance for any help!!

when running in clamshell mode any bluetooth keyboard or mouse will stay connected and any input will wake the mac (macbook pro late 2013)

Just give the ipad air 90hz or 120hz. Done, dusted. Now that pros have oled, 1000 nits, m4, thunderbolt, lidar, better camera and flash, face id, four speakers and base storage of 256gb, I think bringing down 120hz should be the next step with probably a chip upgrade, that's it. I'm calling it, the iPad Air 7th gen will have 120hz and m4/m5 launching in 2026 March - June as the only changes. They won't do anything else.

No touch screen. Thanks, no thanks

Hi. Just discovered your channel and loving the content. Quick question that I didn't see an answer for in the comments - when you disconnect the Macbook, do you eject external drives, etc first? If not, any concerns about data corruptions. Specifically I'm concerned about Time Machine backups. Thanks!

first realistic review

The thing with the cheaper models often is that after a few years, they become obsolete. I've got a 2018 iPad WiFi model with 32 GB of storage and just 2 GB of RAM. It shows. Within about 3 years, it became harder and harder to update the iPad because the storage was insufficient. Also it often becomes slow and then I have to put in some effort and a lot of patience to be able to turn it off. After I turn it on again, it's fast again. When I bought it, all the technical gibberish was more than sufficient. So basically this changes over time as apps and the OS become bigger and bigger. Also the use of memory becomes more and more. Even in Mac the minimum is 8 GB, although 16 GB probably is more future proof. (I would nowadays go for 32 GB minimum in Macs anyway.) That's why I want to warn against buying the cheapest options. All these iPads have 8 GB of RAM at most. While the 1 and 2 TB versions of the iPad Pro have 16 GB. Honestly, if you want to still use your iPad in 5 years, I think that's the way to go. Same goes for storage. If the storage gets mostly used up, the iPad will be unable to update. This means you'll probably have to delete apps. I've even had to delete Numbers and Pages for example. 2 apps that I quite regularly use. (Numbers mostly for finances and Pages to make the trainings for the club where I'm a trainer/instructor.) Therefore I would advise to go straight to the 512 GB storage option or more.

Is the background real. It looks so good tbh

This video personally, Helped me soo much

the only thing that bothered me was the lack of face id

I'm still using my Apple Watch 6. I will upgrade to the Apple Watch 10.

Hi Kyle, something no one seems to talk too. I hold onto tech for as long as it works without too much compromise. I'm still using a Ipad Air 2 but its now definitely showing its limitations. Given I don't turn tech over every couple of years and future proofing is important for me, Air or Pro???? Many Thanks

Great video, not just parrotng specs from benchmarks- but real world use. Really like your workspace too.

love the air but i hope they are like possible to go to 32 GB RAM at top,

As an artist / web designer I do not envy people who have no use case for the iPad and buy it just to try and justify it later 😬

So which one should I get if I’m going to use it for school work

100% agree, I have no other apple devices in my home and the apple TV is still the best possible solution.

This will be my first Apple Watch. I am a long time Iphone, Ipod, and Ipad user, so I am used to the IOS. To be honest the main reason I am looking at them is because my Dexcom G7 Gluclose Monitoring System will now feed info straight to the watch. Before it went to my Iphone and I had to carry it around. I'm pretty sure I am going to go with the Series 9. My middle son has the Ultra 2 but as a retired senior I don't really see a need to spend that kind of money on a watch nor will I use it like a younger person would. Thanks for the video, I appreciated the information.

10th generation is better for me because I am not gonna buy apple pencile and its cheaper in terms of performance over price

Dude how did you costamized your phone 😢

I use both.. The lines are NOT blurred. The fact of the matter is that the APPs themselves are very different in quality. Don't get me wrong, I love using my Android flagships.. but the app quality on iOS is ten fold better. For example, the Liftmaster/Chamberlain garage door app "MyQ" on android doesn't send notifications for the door opening or closing until the phone is unlocked, regardless of notifications settings. The banking app I use was not programmed correctly and the DPI scaling is way off and super tiny on Android flagships with high res screens. None of these issues are on the iOS versions of the apps. This is NOT a fault of the phone manufacturers but the developers of the apps themselves. The iOS apps are simply better in every way in MOST circumstances. Some android apps like the Ubiquiti Unifi app are consistently good on both platforms. For me, I love using android but I HAVE to use iOS because of the every day apps I use, plus everyone I know uses an iPhone so iMessage and FaceTime are big sellers for me. No one in the USA uses WhatsApp. Until Google raises their app quality standards, I will continue to use iOS.. it's a shame but that's the bottom line.

Great video, thankyou, think the M1 will be best for me as your descriptions of usage make be a average email / browser person.

under? nice joke

1 feature no one talks about is using the apple tv as a second monitor wirelessly with my macbook... i literally leave my macbook in my room, bring my bluetooth keyboard and mouse and just use my apple tv as my computer sometimes

What I’d really like to know is: how does the external drive integrate with MacOS. I just want something that is seamless where I can use it without feeling like I have to go a get something off of the external drive all the time. Like with photos. Can the photos library be stored on the external drive?

It should be like this for the next gen basic ipad = 60Hz Air = fixed 120 Hz Pro 120Hz variable

The best real life review for macbook air. Thank you really helpful

@KyleErickson Would the Acasis Enclosure paired with the WD SN770 SSD be better than a Samsung T7 SSD for running Komplete 14 Standard on a 2019 MacBook Pro ?

i like the ipad pro for the m 3 chip

I'd rather buy the M3 Macbook pro. It has a better display and actual cooling for the chip.

6:43 This comparison is highly flawed. Apple silicon uses unified memory, which means memory shared between GPU and CPU. GPUs like RTX 4090 have 1008 GB/s memory bandwidth. In that way, M3 pro is terribly slow.

amazing hardware let down by an extremely limiting OS implementation.

I got the 14 inch M3 Pro and it’s a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I’m disappointed. I’m returning it for an M3 Air…

I’m using ipad air m2 11”from about a month for both gaming and studying. Let’s not talk about studying but for games it’s totally beast. No lag in PUBG even whole crowd jump at bootcamp at same time. I’ve seen lag while jumping at bootcamp with screen recording on because electricity was gone and it’s too hot this year. But normally with fan it doesn’t heat. No 90fps. But i am not regretting by any chance with this ipad ❤

I don’t have a particular use for the pro, but I decided to buy it because I don’t own a TV, or a computer so it’s basically my one stop shop for everything I do as far as tech goes so I figured I’d get my moneys worth because of that. I am an artist so I also got the Apple Pencil pro. I do need something to run my website with along with various other things of that nature. So far I’m happy with my choice. Also I don’t plan on upgrading until I absolutely have to, so I wanted a device that I would be happy with for years to come.

Bottom line, always get the Air (I would opt not for the 13” but the 15” and make sure you get 16gb of RAM since AI won’t work on 8GB) unless you are in a very small niche group. For the other 99% don’t bother with the Pro. I had an M1 Pro and in my case (and most people’s case) it was merely paying extra money for things that only 1% of users would use. As for the small use case of sitting on a beach directly in the sun (where the pro would work better) my recommendation is not to sit directly in the sun (smile)

Hello, I have always been a PC person. But in the fall, I'll be switching to a Mac and will be going to college for CS. I am struggling to understand if an MBA M3 vs MBP M3 vs MBP M3 Pro is appropriate. There are financial considerations for sure, but since I'll be studying Computer Science, I am afraid that if i JUST consider the cost, I'll suffer in my later years as a CS student. And given, I have no experience with Mac, I am unable to figure out if the Mac Book Pro is better than then Mac Book Air.. and if so, would i also need the M3 Pro chip. Any suggestions or perspectives is much appreciated. =8^)

HyperDrive GEN2 12-Port USB-C Hub

samsung tv os' are abhorrently terrible. I cannot blame you for using an Apple TV. I really find the LG OS with the C3 to be fantastic, but even then I find the Apple TV to be a better experience.

I've used the apple watch series 3 since 2018. It just shucked out on me 2 days ago. The screen has lines going through it and won't display anything. Just bought the Apple Watch series 9. Was going to try to hold off to wait for the Apple Watch X next year but the amount of times in the past 2 days I've looked at my wrist and not had my apple watch is too much to bare lol

And no talk about how to improve ssd lifespan, because if he die you can't replace it because it's soldered, good e-waste from a company saying they are ecologist, big joke (ram is soldered too...)

I left my MBP 13 2017 plugged in for 6 months. The battery was completely fried. Lasted tops 30 mins after that.

The speakers 🔊 and the keyboard ⌨️ makes me prefer the pro over the air
