M3 MacBook Air - 3 Months Later: Some Surprising Issues...

[@jasecola]

Speakers don't pack enough punch in a busy cafe? Rule of laptop speakers in a cafe = if you forgot your headphones, you don't get to use your speakers.

[@andyH_England]

Yes, I would not be disrespectful to other customers by using speakers in a public place like a cafe. That is a weird one!

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Tbh I agree with this take

[@jace888au]

I was gonna say you’re far too young to be “that person” who uses speakers in a crowded cafe.

[@itsacookie1]

True it's the Macbook Air not the Rapbook.

[@SamLozano]

[@WidePhotographs]

You had me worried for a second when I read your title. Good to hear the negatives seem to be a defective MacBook rather than general known issues overall.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Yep 100%, overall it's still a crowd favorite for good reason: it's an incredible everyday laptop.

[@nikhllogic1248]

Interesting take and inclusion of the Snapdragon laptops keeping it honest and balanced. Apple is in a sweet spot right now and has been ever since the M chips but as a tech lover I always welcome more options and competiton from Windows PC's.

[@platinoir]

I bought the 15" 24GB. and I picked it up over the pro because of the slim form-factor & beautiful midnight color. I've been using it for design work and I have seen no issues or heating troubles.

[@rayensabandar8392]

would programming and design work be a comparable task? I mean would a programmer work well with that device without issue?

[@platinoir]

@@rayensabandar8392 I think yea, programming on this shouldn’t be a problem. Perhaps the only heavy tasks for it would be 3D work & gaming. Would serve you well to search on KZbin for how programmers rate it.

[@hyperone1356]

@@rayensabandar8392 It depends on what type of programmer for you. I found that the 15” was not suited to my needs as a programmer (I work with deep learning). Chip would throttle consistently and get hot. I ended up going with a MacBook Pro 14” with M3 Max and 36 gigs of ram. I plan on keeping my laptop for at least 4 years. But again. This is for deep learning, which is very intensive. If ur programming involves less power the m3 pro or 15” model with m3 should be fine. Hope I’m not too late!

[@experiencelifelittleone]

because it's 24GB. Normal ppl don't want to pay that money

[@GIFOYT]

@@rayensabandar8392I’ve been coding smaller projects and working with servers and everything is fine. The only lagging i’ve had (but it seems that now is no longer happening) has been related with sidecar (while connecting my iPad). I would recommend the 15 inch over 13 inch model. It is still extremely portable and the bigger screen state really makes a huge different while editting videos and working with programming projects

[@NexXxus86]

I love this laptop, but my only concern with it are the thermals due to the lack of fans. I'm a power user and use performance demanding programs at times or even game on this machine. it gets hot, but not to the point that its uncomfortable to myself, but I'm more concerned about the longevity of the components or drying out thermalpaste due to the CPU getting hotter than the boiling point of water.. I really want to keep this laptop around for at least 5 years before getting a new one, and don't want it to die during that time due to this issue.

[@djerikfox]

after 2 months my 13' m3 air with 500g ssd and 16g ram working almost 24/7 in my studio has no problems so far...using cubase 13 , logic pro 11 and many plugins, the max temp by HOT app is about 98C cels while rendering...I hope it will stay reliable in the future.👍

[@hugoagudo4282]

Great review. Really helped with my decision. Picked up a 15" macbook air M3 on sale. gotta love the EOFY sales and snap dragon competition bringing prices down. Went for the M3 over the snapdragon as I don't really use multi core apps and M3 has a much better GPU. The speakers on the 15" are fantastic. I still think my iPad has a better OS (like I said, not a power user). What sh!ts me to no end is that out of the box, the mouse scroll and trackpad scroll can't be separated.

I’ve been using my base-level M2 MBA for the past 1.5 years and it’s served me so well so far. Top-notch battery life, good performance overall for research, and a beautiful, lightweight design. I can’t wait to upgrade in a year or two!

[@taimoorkhurshid3244]

has the low ssd speed affected you in anyway? i am thinking about getting one but getting mixed reviews

[@JerusnamWien85]

@@taimoorkhurshid3244 not at all! I think the SSD speed issue only surfaces in benchmark testing, and that's how all these reviewers latched onto the SSD "issue." Honestly, I didn't experience any slow performance except when too many applications were open simultaneously. I think the SSD speed surfaces when you try to transfer data from or to an external hard drive. I'd spend the extra money on extra RAM. If you're a student, get the baseline model.

[@Daonhon]

2:27 combined power consumption for GPU and CPU is at 33w but we need to factor in other power consumption like the screen, the speakers, the keyboard backlight, SSD, RAM, etc. The 35w charger cannot charge the battery without a surplus though peak power consumption is not really sustained all the time.

[@thomastuorto9929]

I don't need top of the line. I just need for some photography editing apps, layer edit type work. Maybe get into some short nature clip type vids one day. A m1 would probably be enough for me. Thinking about trying a air or mini to see if I can adjust & like using the Mac coming from a pc. I have an older 10" 7th-gen ipad & iphone 11. If so, would keep the air for photo handling while traveling & pick up either a Macbook Pro or most likely a Studio for the home. I doubt most people need to upgrade as soon as a new model is released which seems like every 6-12 months these days. Apple really nails you once you leave the base models & a custom built pc desktop would most likely be upgradable well into the future for a lot less & way easier to repair if need be. The constant Windows updates kill me thow!!! All I want are the security updates. Not all this for your user experience crap they push on you saying it is for your banefit when it is really so they can track what your interested in for sales & marketing. I know, I went off subject. sorry.

[@craig9668]

It doesn't matter how good the Snapdragon is, we'd still be hampered by Microsoft's abysmal software. Airy.

[@bmwmrt]

100%. In terms of AI processors for productivity work, I still prefer macs (specifically mba m3) over windows ultrabooks with NPUs such as the surface laptop. Besides, I believe apps will better integrate their systems to Apple’s neural link AI engine in the near future. M3 mba still outperforms its competition engineering-wise. In an incredibly thin fanless chassis, they have solid performance and top of the tier battery life. The pure definition of efficiency, design and build quality. Macs simply age better. Without any maintenance, I’ve been using my macbook pro 15-inch 2017 for about 7 years now, and it still runs well, had no issues with it.

[@zenodezeno454]

Yeah its funny how people are hyped about snapdragon finally (after 4 years) catching up to Apple when Microsoft doesnt have a functioning translation layer to translate over all the old software to the new chip lol. The only native programs are like office apps and Edge, it will take another 5 years for Microsoft to be on macbook air level

[@prk3437]

Competition is good for everyone. I think MS will definitely take a chunk of Mac sales with its upcoming ARM generation devices. And speaking of software, MS is pretty well optimized on Surface Laptops, if you have never used one, try it out. I have never experienced any glitch on Surface devices, I have been using them since Surface Pro 3 (currently I am not using Surface devices, but once the reviews are out, I would consider the Surface Laptop if it is worth). And a lot of software's that I use on daily basis (and lot of my colleagues) for work are Windows only (I am a academic researcher). The other part is pricing, Surface devices come with a removable SSD, so the customer is not stuck permanently with the storage they buy and Apple's SSD and RAM prices are ridiculous. All this will definitely boost competition and ultimately customers will be happy.

[@MAK1975-v6l]

Problem with Snapdragon chips is lack of app support. I would never even consider one until they have more compatibility. I run a number of apps where Snapdragon chips are not supported. It's either Mac or Windows Lunar Lake for me. Don't care how efficient Snapdragon is if it can't support more apps it is not worth buying. Macbooks are still the most complete laptops in the market. Best track pads and webcams. Love the Magsafe charger as well. Mac just does all the little things right!

[@Shwammi]

Great review. I really appreciated and I just subscribed.

[@teng029]

I have nothing against the Windows laptops catching up or even surpassing the Mac Air. The OS, software, and hardware we choose to use are personal preferences. So if you’re a Windows user, more power to you. That said, it won’t matter to me how well the new Windows machines perform as I am not a Windows user, unless it’s for work. For personal use, I have been using a Mac for a long time and have no plans on changing that. I am eventually going to pick up a Mac Air because I do believe it’s the best option for what I need.

[@MrBlackhen]

The charger is fine, first, if you charge slowly the battery temp is better for the battery's longevity. second, if it uses some of the battery capacity it's good because you probably do not use the full load all the time using some of the battery capacity is also better than not using it at all.

[@Ivan-up7ny]

Negative issues: 1. Sensitivity issue with the E key on the keyboard causing accidental registrations while typing. 2. Difficulty in simultaneous charging and battery usage, particularly noticeable during resource-intensive tasks like 4K video editing. 3. Despite decent battery life, there were challenges with the MacBook Air M3's charging capability, especially with the included charger struggling to keep up during demanding tasks. 4. Speaker sound quality satisfactory but desires more power, especially in noisy environments. 5. While the new anodization process reduced fingerprints on the laptop's exterior, the keyboard still attracted fingerprints, similar to previous models. 6. Some minor drawbacks were noted, including issues with fingerprints, speaker power, and charging, though these were relatively manageable.

[@andyH_England]

I certainly would not recommend charging and intensive use simultaneously with the MB Air as it has no fan. Obviously thermals will be bad when doing both.

[@hs_random7384]

Snapdragons haven't lived unto the mark as they were hyped up before release, they do compete with M chips, but not a win over them

[@ADesignersLife]

Great long term review, very balanced and fair. Hopefully you’re able to get that keyboard issue resolved, it sounds like something your warranty should cover! P.S. Airy 😉

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Thanks, I'm hoping so too!

[@dan007-]

Lol after using an Apple M chip laptop it's near impossible to go back to x86 laptops that run hot, loud and have terrible battery life. But I hope snapdragon changes this with the Elite x. If snapdragon CPU could use Graphic card from nvidia or AMD then Apple maybe in trouble..

[@JerusnamWien85]

The new M Macs just have a cleaner design and amazing battery life. It’s so easy just taking it to a library or café and working there without having to plug into an outlet. My wife has a Dell laptop for work and it’s just so loud and bulky.

[@andyH_England]

Chrome has been much better lately, with good RAM management and no longer requiring a heavy CPU resource. I would say it is no longer a negative to use versus Safari.

[@philhersh]

Great review. Regarding the ‘E’. It looks like you are a touch typist. I imagine very few Mac users are.

[@grahamwatson791]

Interesting point about the power consumption vs the charger power. Is that why Apple offer a 70W charger option?

[@creator.exchange]

the E key problem means you probably need to manually remove the key, check that everything is clean and working, then snap it back into the keyboard. i've had this problem with a number of keyboards over the years (macbook pro, external, etc.) and it's pretty common to just pop it out carefully, then snap it back into the keyboard. that will fix your problem 90% of the time unless part of it is broken or really dirty. most of the time it happens to me with the space bar because it's used the most.

[@AndrewEthanZeng]

Unfortuantely even that did not fix it... that'd be too "eee"asy. Back to Apple it goes

[@andyH_England]

I recommend charging in laptop downtime. It creates less heat than pushing a fanless PC with a heavy workload and expecting it to charge. I assume Apple uses optimised charging to keep thermals in line. As Macs can run on battery with no performance loss, I would not charge and work simultaneously. If you want both, buy a Mac with a fan that will allow that.

[@creator.exchange]

When it comes to audio, I always use Boom 3D and it sounds great on my laptop. I've used it for years and it really boosts the audio quality on MacBooks.

eI own a high spec M3 13 inch MacBook air it has 24gb ram and 512gb ssd with 10 core gpu, and it's been amazing, I got it brand new for only $1249 on Black Friday on Amazon, I got the base charger because I already have a 61w oem apple charger. reason why they got that cheap because the 16gb version is now the new base model and the only second option was the 24gb ram which replaces the 16gb for 1500 while I got it 250$ off, and now I thermal modded the machine meaning it no longer thermal throttles under heavy use.

( it is sometimes called, crakcling problem but I think it is a little bit different )The corrupted sound goes simultaneously with the vocal. Especially if you talking a little bit fast or doing music like a rap song. I tried almost everything to fix it. Believe me! So finally I changed my computer. I got brand new MacBook Pro M3, and today I tried to have a record again, and hello! Same problem goes again. By the way I should tell that first I have a new Focusrite Scarlett solo 4. generation. AT4040 condenser mic (new). A balanced good quality xlr cable. So ı tried almost everything the fix that problem. ( changing buffer sizes, trying with the usb mics (they are new), almost every settings in the logic and also in the MacBook Pro ( midi settings), tried with different recording program, even the MacBook pros own mic do the same problem! (İt drives me crazy), I tried to isolate everything around ( cables, any electronic devices any charging cables or exc. Even I turned off the wifi router.) I did a lot of things. I don' t wanna write it down here because probably it is going to be pages. İt is the same problem that I can hear with your video. I warn you guys it is hard to hear, but once you hear it you can detect it. İs anyone here faced with the same problem pleaseee help me.😭😭 note: By the way I can describe that sound as a nosal problem that somebody is having, it sounds like sometimes there is an extra mess in somebody's nose.

Which MacBook is better for video editing? Both are almost the same price on Education sale. MacBook air m2 16gb 512gb VS MacBook air M3 16gb 256gb. Or, anything else do you recommend?

Don’t get air for video editing. Get pro with higher RAM.

[@alvis97]

for video editing: M2 16/256
