Is M1 Macbook Air still a GOOD BUY in 2024? - 3 Years Ownership Review

M1 Macbook Air in 2024: Still Worth It?
The M1 Macbook Air was a game-changer when it launched in 2020, but how does it hold up in 2024? In this video, I share my experience of using the M1 Macbook Air for over three years, and how it compares to the newer M2 Macbook Air and some of the best Windows laptops in the market.

[@mayankk.tewari]

The content and quality of this video truly sets the bar so high for new channels. Excellent skills dude. Did not realise it's a new channel until I went to the comments. Kudos to you. Subscribing! Apart from that, I too am a MacBook Air M1 user (also my first laptop) and couldn't agree more with your views. It has definitely set a standard for gadgets for me now. I prefer my tech to be subtle yet powerful while looking elegant and it truly checked all the boxes when I was looking for my first laptop. Since the day I have purchased mine in January '24, I always feel I am underutilising this machine. That's how effortlessly it handles routine tasks that you never feel like you are pushing it enough to slow down or lag. While it has loads of impressive features what I love the most is the smooth and classy typing experience. The keyboard is a treat for writers. Loving it so far.

[@TechPrideCo]

Means a lot bhai 🙏 and welcome to the pride, and truly the typing experience on the M1 Air is unmatched 🔥

This channel is going miles. Absolutely best content. Wishing you the very best! I rarely subscribe but for your channel, it is a no brainer. Just a request. Can you make a video on video editing performance for this laptop?

[@TechPrideCo]

Means a lot bhai ❤️ I might make a dedicated video on video editing performance on this but until then, here's the summary, it's very good for 1080p edits, you can experiment with some 4K footage as well but zyada push karoge toh it runs out of ram, especially the base model.

[@swadhinnandy]

What a quality content !❤ I didn't look at your sub count first.. you put so much effort as a 1st video of a channel.. its randomly appears to my feed.. eventually I am also thinking to buy a MacBook air m1..

Bro Bro can I buy Samsung galaxy book 4 over the macbook air m1, because it is too old no much features like Samsung has more features I think bro so I'm thinking mac will satisfy my features needs ? Or I'm an student of artificial intelligence and Machine learning will macbook Air m1 be best choice for me

[@kabirsingh1000]

That was a great review! Need a suggestion. I am looking for a new laptop. I run a creative agency and my workflow includes using Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, inDesign, VS Code etc. I have been using Acer Aspire 5 from 3 years and its GPU and battery are both dead but it gets the job done. Should I go with Macbook air M3 16/512 , Macbook Pro M3 16/512 or some other windows laptop. The only other apple device I own is an iPad and not planning to get into the eco-system. (Give priority to the price)

[@TechPrideCo]

Thanks for watching 🙌 if you don't plan to move into the ecosystem, you should prioritise windows laptops because if you're price conscious, they generally offer better bang for buck, also M3 released very recently so there won't be any good deals or discounts.

[@AssassinGhost]

Absolutely recommend this laptop still even in 2024 This thing is sweet 😍

[@manishksethi]

Please try to solve the issue. I need to run a windows software specifically busy accounting software. Planning to buy m3 air.

I'm using M1 MacBook Air base model for my software development work since last couple of years. Currently planning to switch to M1 MacBook Pro base model. Couple of reasons for switching, need more RAM for both iOS and android simulator and storage space for Xcode installation. Otherwise, it is holding its ground very well. Absolutely gem in its price point and quality, both in hardware and software. Prior to this machine I was a Microsoft Surface user. Though that machine was good in terms of hardware quality, this Air is off next level. Also production quality of your video is good enough, keeping in mind that it's your first one. Your speed of speech can be a little faster. Keep your good work. I'm subscribing.
