MacBook Air M1 in 2024? Long Term Review After 3 Years

Long term review of MacBook Air M1 after 3 years of usage and should you buy this in 2024 and more importantly who should buy it? You will find out in this video. I have shared my daily workload on this MacBook Air M1 which includes video editing, photo editing, coding and Android Development. How it performs on 1080p and 4k video editing in practical life and is 8gb Ram & 256GB SSD enough? And also the problems you can face, like running out of ram and ssd swap problem. Also the battery backup and battery health after 3 years of usage and all the issues I am facing like dead pixel along with pros and cons.

i got my macbook air M1 in 2022 and it's still in fantastic condition and it never disappoints in any task whether it's video editing or heavy apps not a single lag or performance issue, just to be careful about one thing that it is fanless, so better use it with normal room temperature as it does heat up based on your usage, if it's hot outside it will heat pretty good show some performance lag (minimum) bu everything else is very good and as farr as the budget is considered it's the best macbook you can buy for productivity.

My college provided me Teams ID, that worked for all ms applications. So I didn't have to worry. What you can try is Office 365 online in any browser. This is free so try it on your current laptop and if it works for you can go ahead with a mac. Hope it helps!
