is M1 Macbook Air good for Web Developers?

VSCode vs WebStorm
which is the better tool for Web Developers?
Tell me which web development tool is better in the comment!
Macbook Air Model : Apple MacBook Air (M1, Late 2020), base model(7 Core GPU, 8GB RAM)

[@alkapatil8463]

This is what I was waiting for

[@jagernull6641]

Heck yeah, after seeing that many youtubers claim they made the most detailed review of every aspect of M1 mac. I was like "You fucking bunch of noob video-maker, how dare you? Where is web developing, where is ML, where is data processing? Is video editing the whole world for you?"

[@mplovecraft]

@@jagernull6641 I know... I must have seen 15 videos by now showing different variations of movie editing and processing. I get it - they are all KZbinrs and so it's important for them, but most people watching are not KZbinrs or content creators (crazy, I know).

Can i not just download VScode when buying a mac what is rosetta?

[@enditrianto]

@@mcmurdostation7134 vscode now has the universal app for M1 Mac.

[@mplovecraft]

I'm actually getting the base model with 8/256 gigabytes. The Air is great for the price right now, but if you add ram it's a 30% price increase (where I live at least). And if you want a bigger ssd you end up with a 60% price increase - not such a great price anymore. I'd rather get the base model and upgrade to a MBP 16 M1X or M2 in a year or so and then invest in extra ram/ssd for that one.

[@uzaisindiko6589]

i agree, where i live at, if you wanna upgrade the ram, the price jump up to 30%, this is madness

[@siddiksalim5037]

Love the way you say "Celsius". Sounds like an ice-cream flavor XD

[@Warlock_UK]

I’m a WebDev, but I ordered the pro. Webstorm m1 native coming soon. It’s decent, I pay for it but the indexing and cpu hitting 125%+ every time I open a project is maddening on my 16” mbp. Especially as I tend to have 4-6 complex projects open simultaneously. 16 inch fans are like a jet engine when I start everything up.

[@rmcf3972]

Did you consider air m1? Or got straight to the pro m1? 8gb enough or 16gb needed?

[@jaytran247]

How about i run vsc with 10 extensions enabled while discord, whatsapp, slack, fb messeger, and 30+ tabs chrome opened at the same time.

[@HaneezHaroon]

Thank you for doing this. I think the performance is identical on both systems. Looking forward to the optimized versions that will really take off.

[@ajazshaik3547]

That key sounds are soo satisfying 🤩🤩🤩

[@ronmiller3741]

We don’t have to build nodejs projects unless there is typescript in it. Or you are using lint or something for preprocessing.

[@Aemulatius]

I’m also a developer and I have switched from OSX to Linux/PopOS. I have the best workflow setup for productivity and coding on a much cheaper and more powerfull laptop than Macbooks. It’s not about the hardware, but about the whole experience with OS and the way you use it. And another tip: never buy the first version of any Apple product. Its going to be slow, because most of the software is not optimized for the M1 chip. I saw someone reviewing the M1 after one week of usage, and he noticed that it was actually very slow when editing videos.

[@zieuw]

I'm sure that it still can't handle Android Studio fast

[@jdassonval]

[@nitishagarwal1946]

I myself am planning to get an upgraded ram version. Is it worth it, have you done any research?

[@camillevillanueva1223]

@@nitishagarwal1946 from what I was able to find from other reviews, if you're keeping the laptop for a long time and if you can afford it, better get the 16GB. I'd like to just mention though that from copist's video itself when he pulled up WebStorm it seemed to eat up a lot of RAM, but if I'm not mistaken the JetBrains team is apparently still working on optimizing their products for ARM, so RAM consumption could improve in the next few months. If you plan to use it as your work machine, 16GB is probably the better option so you can have more room for multitasking. As for me I'm only getting the MBA because my current personal laptop has died and I don't have anything for personal use. I have realized that I won't be coding on it for long periods of time, and right now I'm really after the 14" MBP that is rumored to come out next year, so I don't think I really plan now on keeping the MBA for a long time.

[@nitishagarwal1946]

So did you get it ? How good is it for programming ?

[@camillevillanueva1223]

@@ismailbouazizi984 this is probably not the answer you are looking for, but the truth is, I didn't get it, I ended up building my own PC instead :-) It's snappy and fast, I have almost forgotten I even wanted the M1 in the first place, haha. I'm still looking forward to the rumored 14" though that's supposed to come out this year. :)

[@mplovecraft]

I'm curious about WoW. Since you will be maxing out for a few hours I think you will get a better result with the fan on a MBP. Hard to defend spending another 30% on the price for a fan and a touch bar I'd rather be without though. Question is how big of a difference it is.

[@JuanPerez-do9kj]

So I know WS is an E2E IDE so it should be heavy. But what about running multiple servers and VS Code windows? I'm doing so with Gatsby and React (separate projects on WIndows). Wondering if my setup would work fine.

Please, make one about editing video! You can also compare using Premiere Pro/After Effects and Final Cut, because FCX is already integrated into the m1 but adobe programs are not. I'm very indecisive if I should get the 8gb or 16gb version to edit videos, I use adobe programs, but according to some videos I saw it seems that 8gb will be much better than the PC that I currently use...
