After using the MacBook Pro M3 Pro for 5 Months, is the 2024 MacBook Air actually better?
ALL MY FAVORITE GEAR IS LISTED BELOW 👇
Discover why the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air might just be the best MacBook you can buy in 2024. I've spent a week with the latest from Apple and I'm here to share my insights on its performance, design, and value. Is it time to choose the MacBook Air over the M3 MacBook Pro? In this video I delve into my experience, compare it with previous models, and explore its capabilities for both creative work, productivity, and software development.

If you're leaning toward just getting a new laptop that you occasionally use with an external monitor then why not? If you're using your MPB like it's a Nintendo switch, where it IS your desktop computer and can be a hand held as well then of course get the MBP. By the same measurement no one would get Macbooks at all and just get iPads.

Hi from New Zealand Kyle! Excellent video and just what i needed.. my 2017 super spec'd quad core intel Macbook Pro just developed a screen fault and I decided it was time to upgrade.. to the new Macbook Pro.. OF COURSE! I couldn't believe my luck that the new M3 Air has JUST been released. You know how it is, it's usually "oh i just bought the M2 and the M3 is out. Not this time! And after a bunch of videos your very detailed review sealed the deal. Instead of spending a boatload more I'm going with the Macbook Air 15.. I use FCP and a bunch of other programs of course, and I'm feeling super happy to go with the Air (as I'm about to travel for 6 months) and it looks like it'll do everything I need. THANKS! You saved me considerable dollars.. it hasn't arrived yet but I ordered after watching this, so chur bro! (as we say in NZ.. or choice brutha.. LOL)

[@Leon-tm5tj]

M1 Pro runs circles around the new Air. Better display, better speakers. The Pro has fans and 16GPU cores. The fans are a big deal for sustained performance, gaming, rendering, exporting videos etc. It would be a downgrade, really.

Thanks for this. I was considering the Air, but I've had memory pressure with 16gb. I was tempted to get the M2 MacBook Pro SKU the just released that has 1tb and 24gb of RAM, but I broke down and bought the 16" MBP with 512 and 36GB RAM. Still, that's a very pricey difference. The whole thing was brought on by my base M1 Mac MIni starting to crap out on me when recording video. I love the more powerful machine, but the cost is still a big issue.

[@dennisseemann571]

Have been going back and forth between the 15" air and the 14" pro, my biggest concern is the heat, the 14" having a fan vs the conductive cooling of the air is the 1 thing that I worry about, I do a lit of parametric modeling (free cad) for 3d printing and cad work but I think you have answered the performance questions around that so its just the heat, and perhaps the ruggedness of the air vs the pro.

[@josephfisher2324]

Which MacBook do you use?

[@360clouds6]

Very helpful, thank you. I've been holding off buying an M1/M2 Pro because I always liked the Air better. I don't need 120Hz or Mini Led or all the other gimmicks, that's why I never could get myself to buy a Pro. Since I do a lot of the things you do (Affinity, Adobe, Clip Studio, a little bit of Blender) I'm glad to know that the M3 can handle that type of work. Now I can finally pull the trigger and get an Air. Thank you very much for your review.

[@ashitavohra2181]

This video solidifies my decision to keep the 13” M3 air. I have until tomorrow to decide to keep it or get a Pro. I got the same version as you minus the Gb to 256 though. But I’m absolutely loving it so far. Thought maybe I’d need a pro, do I really. What I do, nope. And the 13” is perfect size for me.. I did talk my employer into getting me the M1 air that’s on sale. Working great, I’m doing office work and some editing and photo editing via canvas and websites. So glad they lowered the cost, I’m an Apple girly. But I am super excited about the M3 air.

[@burtdanams4426]

Lmao are you asking if it is powerful enough for graphic design? Just get a 14" or 16" M1 Pro or get an M2 Air instead and save yourself $600-$1000, depending on what you go with. If you want something light and 15", then get the m2. If you want something more powerful than either the m1 or m2 airs, then get an M1 Pro. But really you would barely even need an M1 Air for graphic design, and you definitely don't even need that. You would be fine with a 2015 15" MacBook Pro for like $300 if you just want something for graphic design.

Thanks for the review! I'm a photographer and I travel more and more, which is why I'm thinking between the Macbook Air 13" M3 16GB/1Tb and the Macbook pro 14" M3 pr 18Gb/1tb. I usually do post-production on Mac Studio. The Macbook is actually needed for copying and sorting the pictures while I'm waiting at the hotel or at the airport. Maybe 1-2 times I would also take a complete wedding material to the end in LrC, but this is an exceptional case, so I would use the machine about 4-6 times for this and basic average things. What made me think of the Macbook Air was its light weight, portability, and it would be just about right for the purpose, but I am a bit worried about the heating. However, the cooling of the Macbook Pro M3 pro is positive for me, but its weight not really, because of its portability. To what extent do you feel that you would be mentioned too much under these conditions, with these conditions?

[@wutangcatclan]

Yes!

[@burtdanams4426]

You'll be completely fine with an AIR. You don't even need an M3 Air for what you are describing. You would be fine with an m1 air

Since you are an photographer you may or maynot end up using lot of generative AI features which will develop with time,currently you wont need that power but better to future prrof since you are investing money,I would suggest a higher RAM cofiguration on the pro 18 gb may not be sufficient.

[@Thatbeardedguy86]

I’ve had both and gone back and forth between them. Honestly it’s not that noticeable unless you’re doing heavy media consumption. The thing I notice the most is the 120hz refresh but even then only 60 isn’t terrible unless I’m gaming.

[@crickhollowcrick6177]

Right, so I got an iPhone 15 pro instead of the regular model simply because my eye seems to really pick up on and appreciate the higher refresh rate. That said, do you think the OS animations in the macbook pro really make the most of 120 hz and does it make the whole computer seem more responsive?@@Thatbeardedguy86

[@dibledop]

I was in the same boat and went with the pro. I compared both screens at an Apple store and felt the pro was brighter/smoother in SDR and definitely better for HDR. Also wanted 16mb ram/512mb storage and the price difference was only $100. For that money you get a better screen, more ports, and fan for cooling chip. Biggest downside is loss of screen real estate.

What app are you running for for stats (wifi, connected devices etc) that you showed on the screen?

Clean My Mac X. There's a link in the description. Been working on my own, but I put os much time into these videos I haven't got very far with it yet. Hoping to poke at it more soon or get some help with it.

Should I buy the new M3 Air in the base model 8/256, or the old M2 but with 16GB RAM/256 ?

[@akin242002]

The old M2 for 16GB of RAM alone. With a Geekbench single core score of 2600, that is already excellent quickness for simple computer tasks.

Go with 16gb of RAM.

Where can I find your wallpapers?

Nice review. I do think the 120hz display and speakers are the bottleneck for this laptop. It could feel even faster with the performance it offers.
