Still the Best MacBook? | M1 MacBook Air Review | SCR

The M1 Air released almost a 3 years ago and marked a new era for MacBooks with the introduction of Apple silicon. I’ve been using the base model M1 MBA for two and a half years and I have absolutely loved it but is it still the best here in late 2023? Well in todays video I’ll be going over the features of the the M1 Air and I’ll be comparing it to the newer M2 Air to see whether it truely is the best MacBook!

I agree 100% that this is one of the best laptops of all time, including now. I bought a 16" M2 Max and gave the M1 Air to my wife. But my laptop right now is so heavy, clunky and blocky. Now I look over at my wife's laptop and I'm seriously missing it.

*Wife?* *You did not mention to the audience how you like Men.* *MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* (uck, Patooey, spit & spat! Too-too-too-too!)

[@mralxndr2846]

now you can pick one up as a small backup for little as 450-650 in good condition and spec ;)

[@TheThaiLife]

Yea, that's the really cool thing now. Last years model with great upgrades that are like 60% of the prices of new base models in some cases. I have an M2 Max 32 and it's so rocking still. I was editing a 4K travel video and playing "No Man's Sky" as it exported a few mins ago. Pretty wild. @@mralxndr2846

[@evilofalfa]

Wow so it is heavier dann

[@TheThaiLife]

Honestly, the power is worth it. The big screen also if you travel and I'm a digital nomad.@@evilofalfa

[@PackFan-tv5pj]

I picked up a used M1 MacBook Air and it is a beautiful machine. M1 is all most people need for everyday use, but still has enough power for occasional photo and video editing. Love the classic design and light weight.

[@or123and]

+1 also the speaker/music is better on M1 Air (stereo-field)

[@mohdfarizolabdulghani7208]

Just bought a used one for USD630 with 7 months warranty left....love it...just used it for office work

[@whkee]

Fanless M1 MBA still have many Fans 💪💕

[@dulcimerjunkie8516]

Walmart is advertising it for $699. About to replace my aging MacBook Pro

[@homesteadmovies]

Actually, Best Buy has it for $649. That's what I'm gonna do.

[@corrd3ll647]

Look 2nd hand. Got one with 16gb 500 SSD 8CPU/ 8GPU for $500 with 94% battery health in 9.8 condition

[@homesteadmovies]

@@corrd3ll647 Thank you, I will look into that.

[@ThrillGT]

​@@corrd3ll647where did you get this deal I already purchased one base specs with 99% battery for 450 on ebay Is this a good deal

[@amalive_ways]

Thanks for your honest review here, pretty helpful and encouraging me to try this one first after so many years using windows laptops! 🥰🙏🌹

[@Suno-99]

Nice info , keep it up.

[@Cheikh_Ibrahim_Ndiaye3rd]

Great review!

[@NamesSimba]

I got the M1 MacBook Air for my masters program in mid 2021 ( I had a mid 2012 MacBook Pro that took a dive😅), and even till this day. The laptop runs like it’s brand new, it’s easily the best laptop I’ve ever purchased.

[@vajiragamage]

Your review helped me to buy this awsome machine..tnx .

[@twylawarner]

I bought me a MacBook Air 2018 from someone who had gotten a newer one for Christmas, I absolutely loved it... I accidentally broke the screen and had to get it replaced and while it was gone I had gotten MacBook Air M1 from rent a center so I had something in the mean time, and I fell in love with it, I love love love the keyboard so much better then my 2018 model.. and even know the M1 is smaller then the 2018 one I got I like it so much more.. I ended up not taking the M1 back after I got mine back bc for some reason I couldn't go back to the slick keyboard... I absolutely love love love my MacBook Air M1.. Needless to say I was sold on the MBA M1 and gave my daughter the other MacBook which is still an amazing MBA, I just fell head over heads for this keyboard and sleek design...

[@justind901]

it should be noted that you can use your iPhones rear camera for conferences etc, on the m1 MacBooks. If the 720 camera isn't enough for you. Combine that with the AirPods for sound and mic. It's better than most PC laptops.

[@johncalebvillegas7085]

I saved a lot of money because of your review! Thanks!

[@bramkorstjens9837]

Very good review! Everything I needed to know was told.

[@liam_estrada_29]

great vid. good points

[@dinofmj]

Agree! And this is not about to change even with the arrival of M4.

[@harshalh1]

I just bought it yesterday.

[@MoshaXO]

I just ordered one in excellent condition off of back market with a 1 year warranty and was under 800$ thanks for your review!

[@irensaga561]

Mine is still going strong nearly three years later. Sonoma has given it a little more oomph in my experience.

[@barbancourt69]

After many years I bought a new Mac and it is a MacBook Air 15" with 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD, which is overkill. Reason is that I could buy it for the price I should have paid for the 15" with 16GB/256. My previous was an Intel MacBook Pro from mid 2012, and is still running fine with his 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD and running the latest OS. But what a difference with this new one! Fantastic screen and a huge battery life, and no fans. I guess I will keep this one for many years. Me happy! :-)

[@sadiesworld2461]

I bought mine at best buy for $645. It was an open box and look like the box was just opened and then they changed their mind. Battery was still at 100% with everything still fresh. I did add apple care and geek squad for 175 which is extra but smart buying something like this. I also have a 2019 macbook pro i9 32 gb 512 macbook and a 27inch IMac. The M1 is a beast and great to type and carry around

[@fanz6410]

Does the display of all MBA M1 makes sound when being shaken vigorously?

[@LokiSeidrGod]

I currently have a surface laptop go (1st gen) and it runs mostly fine, have noticed a bit of a slow down and the battery life is horrible. Thinking of trading it in for a rose gold m1 being sold at a pawn shop near me.

[@fahemmohammed3011]

I am shifting from HP Envy x360 to M1 MacBook Air 8/256 GB. What do you guys think? ( for school)

[@shantanusharma4513]

I got m2 AIR on sale for 800$ I use windows but needed a Macintosh to get my setup complete loving it so far this thing glides through day to day task and battery is insane on these airs.

[@Cheikh_Ibrahim_Ndiaye3rd]

I've been using the 2020 MB air intel, And I need more power now, after watching this vid, I decided to jump to the M1 and see, then to the M2 maybe lol.

[@owenchuarbx]

Might be going for the M2 Air mainly due to lack of Magsafe

[@butchgo8930]

‘Can’t help choosing the lighter and thinner M2 MacBook Air a year back. I’m in my mid-70s but if I’d be in your age now I’d choose the MacBook Pro series. Used or new.

[@beckamsalvatore1422]

I love how you call your MacBook “this guy” 😂

[@shamz666]

Dont let the pronoun people hear that 🤣

[@Tessou]

Picked one up in rose gold this weekend for $350 as a lighter daily computer to complement my M2 Pro MBP.

[@honeybuzzard2843]

From Where?

[@AHMED-99996]

I have one I 99% agree with you ❤️‍🔥 Best Mac ever

[@depends6688]

why the 1 percent deduction😂😂

[@boondockmutiny9955]

I would pay the extra just for MagSafe. My friend dragged my laptop off my desk when he snagged my usbc charging cable. Learned my lesson

[@piotrd.4850]

There are USB-C magsafe split plugs. You plug power adapter into one part, and leave other in USB-Port.

[@amirruladli5664]

Can we use external webcam for macbook?

[@semicomprehensivereviewer]

Yes, although you will most likely need a USB C adapter for it

[@2050ankrush]

You can use iphone as a webcam with any mac

[@Dragonsddms]

just picked one up for $300 on ebay

[@angryguymwa]

Touch screens are 100% a gimmick on windows devices. They are not intuitive are relaxing to use. It's more of a novelty. Microsoft has never been able to figure out how to make touch screens a necessity and feel natural and comfortable to use.

[@erichill414]

To me it’s better to just have a MacBook and iPad.

[@angryguymwa]

@@erichill414 I 100% agree

[@vartikcsaba]

Does the screen cracks easily?

[@erichill414]

Only if you put things like a webcam cover. Make sure nothing is in between the keyboard and display when you close it.

[@SD-ff1je]

No.

[@KC-bi9jw]

I got it on DAY ONE and it’s still more pleasing to use than my M1 Max mbp!

[@omarmendoza7150]

I love using my MacBook Air m1 with 512g, it works just like a base model M2. I take it every where great for video editing

[@yogipray]

i regret buying dell 7400 over this

[@iLucifer_X]

Y E S

[@petersu4869]

30 chrome tabs is not a problem

[@Obikenobi93HD]

I had the 15 inch MacBook Air for 5-6 months now and I’ve been loving it ! 24gb RAM with 256 ssd with 200gb of iCloud+ storage to save SSD storage from the MacBook

[@xdnmedia4329]

still best laptop

[@digilux4017]

Disagree. 13” is too small. 15” is the general optimal size. Making the 15 MacBook Pro and now MacBook Air the best.
