M3 15" MacBook Air: End of Year Review! (2024)

[@_xh3l9jkw4j]

Since I upgraded to M3 Air (13”)(16+512) in May from my old Dell, it’s been perfect & literally changing the way I work. Probably my best purchase of the year.

That's awesome to hear!

[@jodysayers9688]

Great review! You are one of the few tech reviewers that have figured out that we want to see the actual product being reviewed on not spend 75% of the video looking at your face! Well done

[@MTGProductions]

Thank You! I appreciate your comment!

I just got a 13 inch M3 MacBook Air, with 24gb ram 10 core gpu and 512gb ssd for only $1249 brand new from Amazon, and I can tell you for the specs this is a bargain!

[@alvin12341]

I paid $399 for 16/512 m1 air last year opened box, and told it was absurd. I can’t imagine shelf out 1k for any non pro models😂

@@alvin12341 I paid $1600 for 15in M3 16/512 at the beginning of the year 😅

How’d you get your clock like that in the corner?

[@EcoGamer831]

I have the 13" M3 air (16+512) and it's a beast! I have the 14" M1 pro (16+512) but I tend to use my M3 Air more coz of its portability. Sure I have less ports, but I'm able to live with a USB-C hub with HDMI.

[@MTGProductions]

Awesome!!

Thinking about doing the same, except to the 15" Air, since my 2021 MB Pro 14" M1 is starting to randomly power off, which is apparently a common problem. Any issues with the change from 120Hz to 60Hz on the screen refresh?

[@EcoGamer831]

@@user-ym9wb2mk5e I have no issues but strangely there have been apps that are not working (i.e. messenger) no matter what update and uninstall/reinstall I do in my m1 MB pro 14". But that's about it. I like working outside also so the portability of the m3 macbook air really suits me.

[@peacedji]

please which would you recommend air 15 inch 16GB or Pro 14 16GB for starting video editing

[@MTGProductions]

Either one. I use the 15inch MacBook Air and it performs like a champ!

[@TerrilynHunte]

Thank you for the great video. I just got a 15 inch MacBook Air and didn't even notice that it was 16gb as the base model now! Feels like an even better purchase.

[@architgupta6096]

hi, wanted to know is there any difference between SSD speed in 256 vs 512gb model in m3 15 inch? if yes how much

[@samet8405]

Hi, I'm torn between the 13" M3 MacBook Air (16GB RAM + 512GB storage) and the 13" M3 MacBook Air (24GB RAM + 512GB storage). I'm a student, and while I don't do video editing, I occasionally code in Python and often use Chrome with multiple tabs open. I also plan to keep the laptop for at least 5 years and take full advantage of Apple's AI features. Do you think 16GB of RAM would be sufficient, or would it struggle?

[@MTGProductions]

I think 16GB of Unified Memory should be fine but if you ever do intensify your workflow since you hold on to your laptops for at least 5 years, I would say pick up the 24GB Unified Memory or consider a MacBook Pro. Ofc, this is just my opinion. Sevgi ve Saygilar Samet Bey.

[@erinconvey742]

Should I return my 8gb? I’m worried it’s not enough

Hi, i mostly use photoshop and clip studio for drawing 2d characters and stuff, maybe sometime 4k video editing for my gaming channel. Should i buy macbook air m3 24 gb 512 gb or should i go for macbook pro m4 or m4 pro?

[@Bryan-vm4fg]

This or the Macbook pro M3 14? The MBP 14 is on sale at Best Buy right now

[@MTGProductions]

MacBook Pro if it is on sale.

[@sricant7086]

[@MTGProductions]

Awesome!

[@ShariarSuhan]

thanks 🥰🥰🥰

[@MTGProductions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lou3492]

I’m not sure whether I should get the 15 inch air or get the 14 inch MacBook Pro base M4 (hate the naming scheme with the new pro models). I don’t plan on doing much else besides maybe a bit of Minecraft and some KZbin and probs college as well, still debating air vs pro hahah

[@FelipeFelice]

If you can go with the Pro, go with the Pro!

[@eman1845]

does it get loud when doing heavy work for long periods?

[@Nigelfwestland]

Air doesn't have fans

[@Shinooobi211]

What’s your battery condition?

[@MTGProductions]

Very good

[@Shinooobi211]

@ percentage wise?
