I had used this M1 Macbook Air (8GB ram) for the last 3 years for office work. I did coding on it and had to run 3 different projects at the same time and trust me, never have I ever faced any lagging issue. 256GB for coding is more than enough and you can use icloud to store your personal data like photos or videos. Also I love the build of this one as it was thin near the end and not like the box one which is currently being used

So I forced my dad into shifting to this (rose gold) from his old dell in early 2021. It’s been a beast ever since. Even to date it opens apps in the blink of an eye, has a great battery life and is running all software amazingly fast. Only downside is the discolouration on the sides of the trackpad as the aluminium is not anodised like the new models . Overall still loving it.

My personal opinion based on my usage: 1. Battery life is not as good as people make it sound it out to be, especially when it starts to run the cycle up 2. Great screen, great color reproduction, great charge time, great build quality, great speakers, and great third party apps. Overall very beautiful. 3. Love how that in the winter, the MBA M1 it stays icy cold and not that hot in the winter when using multiple programs 4. Crossover works flawlessly. 5. Photoshop and any photo editing app works great. I highly suggest to get at least 16gb of RAM.

I have found that the two largest factors that affect battery life on this thing are screen brightness and the gpu. If you need more battery life lower the brightness, put it on Low Power Mode, and try not to leave gpu heavy tasks running in the background. I have noticed the battery life is a bit less than when I first got it, but that is to be expected with the battery health now at less than 90%.

Logical. I use a 2019 MBP16 i9 with an external 16 in 2k portable screen for hot-desking away from my study or main office (both have a pair of 27in monitors). More recently I have used an MBP13 16/512 from work on the move and now a superb M1 16/2Tb iPad 11 and magic keyboard for true mobility such as plane travel, trains and editing AV and photos when away from base. I got that combo at a great price ($1200 the pair). The iPad is so versatile nowadays I also notice more of my students have iPad 13s and the keyboard with the pencil. As I teach engineering they find that setup more intuitive than a laptop. Costs more but they want something that will last for many years and still have residual value. I was going to get an MB Air for my daughter (hospital doctor) but she took a shine to my 2015 retina MBP13 for its superb build and keyboard. She also has a 10.5 iPad Pro with a Logitech keyboard and an M1 desktop at her home. So older stuff still gets lots of use.

The migration was smooth, and the absence of a notch is such a relief! (Yeah! coz I really don't like the notch on the newer MacBooks.) I opted for the base model, and let me tell you, no regrets whatsoever. The design is sleek and beautiful, and the M1 chip, though it's three years old, impresses me with its optimization. It's a powerhouse that gets the job done seamlessly. Loving every bit of it and can confidently say it's a fantastic machine. Highly recommended! 🚀

Okay. Here are my two cents about the MacBook Air M1(8GB/ 256GB config.) in 2024; I'm a digital marketer by profession and use Safari, Keynotes, Pages and Numbers daily. Also, I'm using Canva or Photoshop, Capcut or Final Cut Pro sometimes. I purchased this as soon as they released this, and since then my Macbook has been working just fine since I turned it on for the first time. I dropped my MBA and effed up a speaker, there are a few scratches here and there and the palm rest is faded. Software experience 100%; hardware experience 100%. Also, I'm using this MBA for my studies and day-to-day personal use. Nothing to complain about. It's just perfect. In 2024, yes MBA even with base configuration is more than a decent laptop (and most of the Windows laptops in this budget range are total 💩). In conclusion; Is it future-proof: I can count decent 5 more years; so YES. Is it a decent laptop for a decent workflow: YES Is it budget friendly: YES Who are you gonna recommend this for? Anyone with a decent workflow. Ex: College students, Small business owners, Executives, Managers likewise (hope you get the picture)

And honestly, I can see myself using it well into the future, the only note that I would like to make is that you should really stay away from the 8 gb model, it was way too little when it got released and it’s not getting better over time, it’s fine if you only use it for web browsing and KZbin and word and such, but then in my opinion you should really just get an iPad, it would cost around the same but you would like enjoy it way more because of the touchscreen and just how portable it is.

not only is the M1 good for "college students" (duh) but it's a perfectly fine machine for heavy creative tasks such as making music or video editing (in 4K probably). I use it professionally for music making and I've yet to hit any CPU limit. People will tell you you need the pro or whatever but really don't fall for marketing; getting a model twice more expensive will probably not change anything in your everyday workload. Get 16GB of RAM if you can and you'll be set for years. If you don't know if you need a more powerful machine then you probably don't. Also beware specific worload use specific core combinations, so the newer model is not necessarily the best for your specific needs.

The mac will use all the ram it can so you can't really rely on the total ram usage indicator to tell the whole story; more the memory pressure and swap size. mac uses memory compression for least used memory and swap which happens on a fast ssd so it's less noticeable. a bigger swap means more problems though.

One question that has not been answered by anyone yet, is for how long will Apple support M1 Macs with OS updates . Historically an Intel Mac would receive updates for about 7 years after the model year; maybe less, not 100% sure. i.e. a 2020 model would receive updates -let say- until 2027. As these M1 Macs are still on sale in 2024, would they receive updates for 7 more years ? or not, which would be a bummer.

I have the base model, 8gigs, 256gb. For software and mobile development. Seriously, It takes time just to make the ram full (swap also). I need to open all of my application, start tons of server, I opened so many tabs and application until I don’t know is there any people using the laptop that way. I ended up with 20gb of swap memory and 7gb of physical memory. It did runs slow after past 25gb of swap ram. Actually, it’s not the swap ram that make this device slow, is how much CPU is used. If I open tons of application and most of them are idle, it does not give me sign of any lagging. Also for internal storage, Is there any people still storing other bunch of big files other than application in internal ssd these days? cmon we got ext ssd/hdd and cloud storage. Use them. I initially want to buy M1 Max with 32gb of ram, but it’s my first apple silicon mac. So I had to give it to the lowest variant of M1 and geez, it still outperform my workflow that I intend to. It is enough actually. I don’t know how much overkill M1 Max is for my software development.

I just bought a used M1 with a warranty left for 7 months. No regrets. I don't do video editing. Save money to buy an external monitor.

I’ve never had a laptop before from any brand, and I plan on starting some businesses online whether that be Etsy based or some faceless, KZbin channels. For my first laptop, do you guys think this is a good investment until I can save up for something better? I will purchase this from Amazon if I do decide to get it.

As someone who has the M1 since launch.. I’m perfectly fine with it as I don’t use it for anything but watching videos, light internet use and emails. It’s perfectly fine for me. I don’t need all the speed to just type down a document.
@Alex-vp4ky7 ай бұрын
Not worth over 800. Its still a great buy, but only at a right price. And still honestly should have 512gb and 16gb standard. While 8gb for those looking for a cheap basic laptop and arent picky, will work. Its still not something one should have to settle for.

I have a M1 Air with 8gb of ram and 512gb HD and this is by far the best laptop ive ever had , and im going back to the late 80s. For what i do, this is the perfect computer. Love love love this computer. I got mine for $750 new to replace my 2012 MBP. I still have my MBP and that is a nice computer, but the M1 is just all around smootehr experience.

Will the M1 still be useable after 2026?
@prestotechreviews88716 ай бұрын
@DeluxshanPrantheepan my guess is software support will end anywhere from 2026-2028 so I would say most likely yes, however, you will run out of software support and might only receive security updates at that point.

😅🤔🤔bro I had seen your videos of macbook and decided to go tak a macbook with 16gb ram. But the main problem is the 16gb ram configuration of m1 and m2 is only on apple official website where the price gap is huge since if m1 8gb in store is 70k then in official website it is 100k(only for 8gb ram) pls suggest what to do?

Great video thanks!!!!! IMO Mac has great hardware but the operating system sucks or at least the UI side of things such as - Non-functional window management, non-functional dock, and unified Title bar (this seriously sucks - come on, developers like me have multiple windows open side-by-side having to focus each window to access the file menus sucks), window tiling - don't even get me started on this lol. The worst part is you can't customize them you are basically stuck with the default look and feel.

I am an artist and seriously think to buy this MBA. I use a 2012 IMac 8 gb Ram 1Tb as base laptop. I have an Ipad 9 and the both are more than enough. I just need my MBA for light photo and video editing. This not the machine who determinate the art but the artist. Maybe upgrade to a M3 MBP within 2 years. Do frugal but do it good and creative.

The top USB-C Port on mine went bad about 2 weeks ago :( This also can't export in 4k in iMovie. That's fine, if it didn't have the feature listed in the software, but it does. It renders to about 95% and then just pauses and stops working.
