2020 MacBook Air M1 Base Model - Is It Enough?

[@AntonioDal.]

What I like about buying base models is that their resale value is pretty good which allows me to replace them sooner.

@@jackn2364 When reselling a mac, you really need to re-format the hard drive and reset the machine to the way it was when you first bought it. When formatting, the OS gives you a security level option where you can choose to write over the hard drive with 1/0's so it's impossible for someone else to obtain info from it in the future.

​@@EvolutionRider909 I previously used a MacBook and a MacBook Air with an external monitor and an Apple keyboard and cheap mouse. The MacBook Air worked great but ran out of storage space. The iMac with the Retina display is the only Mac that I regret purchasing because of it's super slow speed and is what the M1 MacBook Air is replacing. It seems it will pretty hard to find anything close to the Retina display at a budget price. There is an Acer ConceptD FHD 24" 2K monitor at Costco that I'm considering, but I'll wait to see if it goes on sale. Thanks for the reply and have a good day!

For normal purposes such as School work and basic video editing, the Mac Air base will be more than enough. In terms of storage, I would recommend to use either multiple cloud storage or an external SSD if 256GB is not enough for you. Just my recommendation

[@HereWeGoATL]

@Bilbo Baggins at apples price for more storage, I’d rather buy twice. Apple makes good products but their pricing for upgrading the configuration has always been outrageous. 200 dollars for an additional 256gb? You can get a 2tb external ssd for that much.

[@lennythekyd]

If I have like 1tb of external storage and my internal storage (256gb) is full, does my performance still decrease with that? Because I still have the 1tb free from my external storage..?

Another thing to consider is that the 512GB model cost $200-300 more than the 256GB model. But for $200 you can buy the Kingston XS2000 2TB external SSD which supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. Yeah, the Macbook Air M1 doesn't support that, but future high end Macs probably will (in like 3-5 years), so the drive might come in handy some day. And you get an additional 2TB (externally) instead of 256GB (internally).

Save that $300 premium of Pro 13 and get MacBook Air instead. Use that saving to upgrade the RAM to 16GB or 512GB SSD hands down. The Pro 13 is basically same computer as the Air.

[@greenfortytwo6414]

I don’t think there is a better laptop at that $1000 price.

[@dad.0]

100% agree!

[@soul4813]

Good shit man, this video is helpful

[@Area52-uhc]

I just bought the new Macbook air M1 chip, 512 SSD, 8 gb ram. Im going to school full time for computer science/web dev. Will this Macbook be good enough for what Im studying until I graduate and get a job?

[@dad.0]

I believe so

[@Strawhat..]

Is it ok to work on it plugged in all the time? What is the best way to save the battery lifetime?

[@martiananomaly]

No need to keep it plugged in as it's battery is a beast and MacBooks have same performance whether unplugged or plugged.

[@lilYDALco]

I Was thinking how long will it last . Until it start to get a slow performance. 5-7yrs? When you do photoshops and other multitask as everyday use (professionally)

[@BeatrizRombaClara]

I have the exact same question

[@sadequehossen1892]

Same here,… 😕

[@san.pituco]

Somebody help me please! Do u recommend a refurbished base M1 MBP for $1099? Or a refurbished M1 MBA upgraded with 16gb of ram? (which cost almost the same)... I love the touch bar... but at the end, Ram might be more useful right? I can't decide yet :/

[@MrLuffy9131]

I know it's business but I just can't justify spending $200 for 256gb more storage since an m.2 1tb is around like $100-130 but also conflicted just in case I run out of space lol

[@angelicavasquez3064]

They sell 200 gb of iCloud for 3 a month :P fixed my storage problem

[@hannankhashir6375]

I just want the base model for premiere pro , after affects and coding . Is its gonna enogh or should i go for a higher one ?

[@dad.0]

should work IMO

[@MrAhLut]

Ive read before this kind of technology same as Kirin Chip in Huawei Phone... All in one chip... I think so...

[@Zraekor]

You stated that 256GB Storage is not enough. However is more really necessary when there is Cloud Storage and External SSD speeds through Thunderbolt?

[@dad.0]

it may not be enough for some but it may be for others. I get by just fine with 256GB

[@Cruella-Deville]

Thank you so much
