Simplistic point of view makes it so much more better to appreciate the details we often overlook by over explanation! Well done!

[@kennynunez]

Thank you!

Straight to the point and super informative! Thanks a bunch, Kenny!

[@kennynunez]

Update: The Macbook Air dropped to $750 at Amazon & Best Buy! The price keeps changing so definitely keep checking

[@DS-gv5fs]

Same thing at Costco.

[@codewithguillaume]

Great video Kenny, just discovered your channel. Will subscribe. Love the tone and no bullshit talk you have.

[@kennynunez]

Thank you🙏🏼

Broo this is the best M1 Review I've seen in YT, straight to the point and honest review, thanks for this Kenny!

[@jamquijano4402]

I love your review format. Thanks for this bud.

[@MotherJammer]

love you went straight to the points and facts, instead of having a boilerplated speech as other tech youtubers do

Thank you🙏🏼

Thanks for watching🙏🏼

[@Valhalen716]

Excellent video! Clean editing, straight to the point, and factual; this is the video that ultimately sold me on finally replacing my broken 2015 MBP with the M1 Air. $699 is an awesome deal for this!

[@SuBhAmVLoGS]

bro u deserve more subscribers for sure

I appreciate that🙏🏼

The fact that this video is less than 4 minutes is truly endearing for a channel like this.

Bought a base modell on black friday for professional software development. Because of the 8GB you have to make sure not to run too many apps at the same time, but beside that, this thing is dope!

[@kosta1605]

I did originally get this about a week ago but with the m3 coming I returned it and just went with the newer model. Glad I was able to exchange it in time for this release as the m3 is a bit more capable and nicer. Worth the $100 difference. This is a great honest review and not like others at all. A lot of the other reviews you see for such items they feel the need to tell you to upgrade basically everything, IMO if you are going to upgrade the Air you might as well save a bit longer and go for a decked out pro model.

[@d.r.martin6301]

My wife picked one up at Costco last month for $750. For her needs, there was no reason to spend $250 more for an M2 Air. She loves it.

[@shaunak4591]

like it...on to the point

[@kennynunez]

Thank you!

[@Test998899]

Great video! Short and informative. Where do you get this crazy price?

[@kennynunez]

Thanks! I got it from Best Buy but I think they got rid of the sale. The M2 MacBook Air is currently on sale for $900

[@digital4ddict]

got mine new for 650. yeah!

In great Indian sale on Amazon I am getting it for 840usd I will go for it. Can you tell how is external ssds performance?

[@toza89]

I bought mackbook M1 yesterday but it camo out without plastic wrap. Should i be worried? Please advise

[@redplace2]

In my case, it will be my first ever macbook, moving from Windows. Do you recommend me this macbook? I feel it’s small a bit

[@kennynunez]

What size are you used to?

[@bioaudi4131]

Hey great video, new subscriber here. Do you think it's ok if im buying the base model with 256 gb? gonna use it mainly just for office work like excel, word etc

[@kennynunez]

Thank you! If you’re starting from scratch without transferring anything, then yeah 256gb should be more than enough for office work

[@bioaudi4131]

@@kennynunez thanks for the reply! In the future i just need to buy external ssd right? I wanna get the 512 gb, but im kinda in the tight budget right now

[@kennynunez]

@@bioaudi4131 yeah an external ssd is all you’ll need if you have files you want to save but don’t need access to at all times. It might be a while before you need it. I use a few for bigger files

[@Youtuber-dq9wm]

Do you think the prices will drop next year, even if they are discontinued by apple. I mean like buying a used one next year?

[@kennynunez]

Yeah used ones should be even cheaper next year

[@jessicalynn9204]

I thought the same thing by buying this 3 months ago and it's so slow. I use it for basic web browsing. That's it. Not worth it IMO.

[@anushandhan8393]

Hi. Apple is coming out with m3 macs on 31st October. So m1 might be phased out and m2 air 13 inch might come to current m1 air's price point. So m2 might be a good deal for late 2023.. just my thoughts..

[@kennynunez]

The m2 MacBook Air is also on sale for $900 but they’ll both still be great options going into 2024. The m3 MacBook Air probably won’t come out for a few more months. It’s looking like just the m3 iMac and MacBook pro’s coming next week

[@MKIVD]

Nah my 2018 Macbook Pro is even supported to this day, granted 2023 will be the last year it will see a major release like Sonoma. Next year, it will be the 2019 Macbook Pro's last year in major release support. The year after that is 2020's time to go. But I think the 2020 M1 macs will enjoy the same treatment as the 2012 Macbook Pros where they still sold them till around 2016. The Macbook Air M1 is still sold on Apple's website. That in itself tells that this will not be phased out anytime soon. The day Apple discontinues the M1 Air will be the day where we start to count 4 years of further support

[@pirateinpants3708]

Got this with 16 and 512 with student benefit and got airpods pro 2 usb free.

[@kennynunez]

Nice

[@annalisettegalacgac1520]

Debating whether to get this or the mba m2. Do you think it can work with multiple tabs like 25 or more chrome tabs, discord, slack, and sometimes Photoshop running simultaneously? Thanks!

[@kennynunez]

The chrome tabs should be fine but once you start running all those apps at the same time, you might start having issues. Individually they will all work fine but 8gb of ram might not be enough for all of them. I would suggest looking into 16gb of ram for either m1 or m2 especially if you plan to have this MacBook for years. 8gb may actually be enough for now but it may not be enough in 2-3 years for you. 16gb would future-proof your MacBook

[@annalisettegalacgac1520]

@@kennynunez thanks so much for this. Might go for the 16/512 m1 2020.

[@kennynunez]

@@annalisettegalacgac1520 of course! That one should be good enough for what you need

Still 2 nand chips right? Even 2023 models of m1 air base model

[@birdieh1716]

Thank you for your video but you are talking at such break neck speed that it made me feel so rushed. I think your video would be so much more enjoyable if you just slowed down a little. Thank you nevertheless.

[@365tonkatruckfit2]

I have a question that only so far one tech KZbinr answered for me clearly out of the dozen I messaged. First Question: Is buying the “M1 Macbook Air” in 2024 as of Spring 2024 financially smart with this machine being soon to be four years old this year? General Facts or Opinions: Apple normally does updates for laptops 5 years or 6-7 years some have said. The base model for the “M1 MacBook Air” from Walmart is not meant for users who are in the digital arts at 8gb of Ram and 256gb of Storage, but simply to me in my own opinion a daily use model for web browsing, some tv shows/movies and document writing. People have been trying to resell this exact base model even online these last couple of weeks. I returned mine and just putting money up to get what I need and what would last. Second Question: If considered, is it worth getting the maxed out version of this laptop in Spring 2024?

[@lunarosa321]

Question 1 is my question too

[@365tonkatruckfit2]

@@lunarosa321 I only had two KZbinrs give me straight forward answers on this and I only believed them, because they have several MacBooks of their own over the years plus people from Reddit gave me advice along with Best Buy/Micro Centers. I literally drove to get research, because yeah it is an investment and no need to purchase a laptop that you may have to buy again. Now I am not saying you may have to upgrade from the M1 buying it in 2024, but go with what is best long term for you so you can fully invest in your next upgrade when you can. The manager at Best Buy gave me my Brand New/ Sealed "M3 Pro" 18GB of Ram/1TB of Storage 14 inch Space Black for $2,167.19 out the door last weekend for my 30th Birthday coming up. This price in a walk in authorized store completely Brand New/Sealed is UNBEATABLE right now. This offer the manager gave me even beats out the refurbished price of this exact one with exact specs on the official Apple website currently. I just unboxed it on my channel. I am not waiting ten years to upgrade anymore, I was a college student at the time so that is just Life. I am upgrading every 5-6 years, at the least 4 years. I upgraded from my 2013 MacBook Pro 4GB of Ram/512 Storage Silver 15 inch. It was nearly 5 pound (4.8 pounds) from college 11 years ago. I want to be a person that needs a huge MacBook or the latest every two or three years but it just not the case for me. I invest my money in my Nutrition/Fitness Lifestyle. Anyway, buy the MacBook you want and only you. The investment WILL pay off if you believe it.

[@FreshTooDef247]

It’s getting cheaper.. You pay for what you get.. There are limitations..

[@kennynunez]

Definitely but you still get a lot for the money

[@heraclio8]

For this case, the limitations far outweigh the benefits for most people who really need this particular macbook at this price level.
