[@kaijunnie6601]

From my experience, if you're not a content creator, most MacBook users will be perfectly fine with the performance of the M1 chip. In fact, the processing power of the M1 is often overkill in many cases. What matters more to these users is RAM and SSD storage. Therefore, instead of purchasing the latest M2 MacBook Air, many people would be better served by using that money to upgrade the RAM and SSD on an M1 Air. Saying that 8GB of RAM is sufficient for those who don't need to do video editing is misleading. I've seen many people, especially university students, regret not upgrading to 16GB because they didn't realize that having multiple Chrome tabs, PDF documents, and Office applications open simultaneously can consume a lot of RAM.

I’ve had an M1 Mac Mini for a couple of years now and use it as my main working computer. I recently got the M1 air on Amazon, for portability and for working on the go and holds up nicely to browser multitasking and having the applications i need open while working. it’s still a perfectly capable machine, and with Amazon’s pricing and the ability to get apple care on it still, shouldn’t be slept on. Especially for on the go tasks, and if you’re needing a spare monitor, and you have an iPad, you’re set. I personally just traveled and worked and used just my MBA and iPad Pro and had no issues.

[@DiegoMorales-mq7uo]

My M1 air is just perfect in 2023, no reason to go for faster chips if you use it to study, do reading or even do office work in it which is what I do with it. I got the 16gb and 512gb version.

[@AndyJMacLeod]

What confuses the issue for me is that Apple stagger their releases now. If Apple were to release a 15” M3 MacBook Air when they release the 13”, I’d definitely buy the 15”. But, I will not want to buy a 15” M2 MacBook Air when Apple have already started releasing M3 in October (probably).

I’m already waiting for the M4..or M5..or.. While waiting I will read tons of comments - like a maniac. The matter of fact is, however, a huge number of people are hesitating their individual choice of the RIGHT Mac. (Beeing a “Mac man” my self by the way). Tech development is constantly speeding up (= freqvency of new releases). I just can’t afford stepping into this rocket. I feel like I better have to take a deep breath realizing the M5/6/7 will be launched in about 3-5 years, too. So, I’ll stick to present stock discounts, meaning “just” M1. Have a nice day, everyone. /John from Denmark.

Basically, M1 Air if you want the absolute cheapest laptop. Go 14" Macbook Pro if you want the best price/performance balance.

Of all these Macs, my favorite is by far the 15-inch Air with 16GB of Unified. It's light, portable, big screen, and can do almost anything.

[@kerrydaniels8460]

14 inch pro is better in just about every way once you do any upgrade to the 15 inch. Screen size is negligible between the two and the pro would come with upgraded RAM and storage already. Not to mention again literally better everything else. I'm thinking of going 14 in pro as an upgrade to my MBA 13 inch.

[@casvanarkel]

I bought the MacBook Air M1 on January 4, 2023. A really nice laptop and a good screen size. The battery also lasts a long time. A whole day. Really recommend this one too. One thing that annoys me a bit is that a lot of dust sticks to and around the keyboard. otherwise a very nice laptop for school and daily use. the battery health went down quickly for me in the beginning. after about 4 months I had about 70 battery cycles and battery health was already 98%. now with 106 battery cycles my MBA M1 battery health is still 98% so nothing to complain about for the rest. Just wanted to say so that you take this into account if you decide to buy it.

I definitely do not recommend the MBP unless you really need the power: it’s very heavy, very thick, and the screen size just a bit too small. I fell in love with the specs but after a day it was clear portability (weight and thickness) play such a big part in a laptop for me personally.

Eventhough their windows laptops where also as expensive as the macs. While having a way worse performance, thermal issues and build quality problems and a not so good battery life. Not to mention that bad displays too. But nonetheless I hope windows solve this problems in the future not to look like a desktop replacement. needed to be Plug all the time just to maintain its performance, a laptop is supposedly a portable device that you can carry anywhere without worrying about performance shortages, it just destroy the main purpose of getting a laptop.

[@zm_mihel]

Ever since they developed the m series chips they have been the best at the price range. I think it’s cuz of the shady stuff apple does like the extremely overpriced ram and ssd upgrades or the fact that they’re so awful with repairs and upgrades that apple gets bad credit.

[@hb__989]

The extra cores will not make a HUGE impact. The point to keep in mind is that when it comes to our day-to-day use cases, the raw spec comparisons showcasing the differences between the lower core and higher core machines in the form of benchmark tests are not going to affect how we use the machines essentially. If you're someone who is coming from an Intel based MacBook or Windows laptop, I guarantee you that you'd be blown away by the performance of the Apple silicone. As far as RAM is concerned, it would be better to spec up to 16GB if you're thinking of buying the MBA or the 13" MBP.

If ur planning on upgrading an M2 with more storage or ram then don’t waste ur money and just get an M1 Pro MBP or M2 pro if u can stretch ur budget. It’s a bit absurd to pay anything more than apples starting from* prices for an entry level device.

[@HarshvardhanKanthode]

The M1 Pro MBP has worse battery ( 12 hours on Air vs 8 hours on M1 Pro) and is much heavier ( 1.2kg vs 1.6kg) to carry around though. The only real upgrades are the better screen, speakers and more ports. Ports can be solved with a $12 USB C hub, Better screen is only worth for HDR content, and a good pair of headphones are better than laptop speakers. The M2 is plenty strong for 95% tasks.

[@dertyp5778]

but don’t you think the M2 will be longer supported for macOS updates than the M1 Pro?

[@kenpalmer4256]

I went with the 15" air for my new macbook. I only use it for web browsing, word processing , power point and emails. If I'm doing anything heavy, I have an iMac and a 2018 macbook pro that still works for big tasks. I think most casual users will be more than satisfied with that one. The sound quality is pretty awful, but I feel like most people use headphones anyway because most likely you're using it in a public space.

[@szymonpogorzelski]

The Best Buy now is MBP14'' M1Pro 10c/16c 16gb 1tb. There are still some new or refurbished in MBA/MBP M2 price. 1.8c/14c comes usually with much slower 512gb and M1 Max is much more expensive an more power consumption. 2.If you don't really need 32gb for ram hungry apps like After Effects and other full pro programs buy a 16gb. Ram is so quick and so good optimized with fast SSD and SoC then swap is unnoticeable. 3. 16" the same spec is good for people who need bigger screen, better battery life and don't care about portability. This spec should be good for next 5 years until macOS update will come. Good luck.

I refuse to upgrade until base macbook air has 16gb of ram.

[@lukemenezesdasilva3450]

I had an M1 MBA but my sister liked it so much she took it and I got an M2. Honestly I don’t see what the big deal is about mag safe. It isn’t more convenient, doesn’t charge faster and only feels cooler. Instead of MagSafe apple could’ve provided another usb c port imo. The bezels from M1 to M2 are the only reason to get the M2, everything else is the same, isn’t really worth the 100-200 bucks more. I’d still recommend the M1 to anybody on this earth, they even go refurbished or used for even cheaper. If u get the M2, ur not really doing anything wrong, it is also an amazing machine but doesn’t justify the price difference.

[@ark5458]

i like that when you pull it doesn't risk damaging it (im clumsy) but yea other than that not that big of an upgrade, but you can now look at it as one extra port while you're charging it (which you dont need to do very often cause of how goated mba is)

I got myself the 15 Air with 24GB RAM and 256 SSD, the reason why I went with the configuration is cause I use a gaming monitor as a 2nd Monitor display which can use significant energy when I have 2 windows open on an browser so that extra RAM is very useful and there is NO alternatives for extra ram while I do have a 5TB external hard drive which there is many alternatives and having a bigger screen on the MacBook Air for less then 2000 bucks is just insane value. I was thinking at a Pro version at first but just to have the 14 M2 Pro is already 2000 bucks + tax and I don’t really need the HDMI port since I already have a USB Hub, overall I love the portability of the MacBook Air 15 and upgrading it from my Intel 2020 MacBook Air is a huge Win for me!

It's so hard to decide, I'm thinking about this for months now. I want a Macbook for basically web browsing and watching video content, but would also want at least 512GB SSD. 13inch is too small, so there's basically the 15 inch Air or 14 inch Pro . I don't really need the power of the Pro's but want the better screen, speakers and also connect two screens sometimes. An 15inch Air with upgraded SSD would be around 1600€, the 14inch Pro costs 2000€ where I live. 400€ difference but double the RAM, better display and speakers. But on the other hand fanless would be also great and the bigger screen too.

I definitely do not recommend the Pro for that usage. I just returned mine actually (base Pro 14 M2). I fell in love with the specs of the pro but once I used it for a couple of days, it became very obvious that it’s just way too much power with too many downsides: it’s very thick and heavy, and this is actually very important if you use your laptop casually: you put it on your lap, put it on your couch or bed when watching a movie, take it all over the house (at least I do) and the weight and thickness just don’t fit that job imo. Also the screen is too small if you like to watch a lot of content on it. This is all opinions of course but I 100% think the Air is pretty much made for users like yourself (or me).

Why buy a laptop now when we’re 2 months away from a Mac event.

[@meshalalnahash7616]

Thats half of the semester that just started

[@jamaalabdinasir54]

Because you could save money 😂

[@woodjoewood]

Help me out please. Just want to do invoices, save loads of course work, practise my excel skills and send emails. What’s good for that

[@MaxTechOfficial]

15 inch MacBook Air 👍 and it’s a great price too. I’m making a video on it that will post tomorrow

[@woodjoewood]

Amazing thanks.

[@woodjoewood]

Am I right in saying you can use excel as you would on a windows pc?

[@giorogus]

Thank you for your great video. For "normal users" (mails, web browsing, documents and excel...), is ot really a problem the slower SSD in 256Gb Air M2?

[@dominator5498]

@11:04 Another KZbin ‘expert’ telling us what we don’t need until we need it as was the case with the iPad Pro with the M2.

[@MonsieurGuy]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. MBP14 M1 pro is the best bang for buck for 99% of users out there right now. Get a MBP14 M2 pro only if its a good price. The differences between M1 pro vs M2 pro are minimal, and to me, not worth the additional outlay. If you're able to hold out till Q2 2024, wait for the new MBP14 M3. I got a MBP14 M1 Pro 10c 16GB / 1TB for 1500 USD brand new on sale from Apple. I couldn't ask for more. It is an incredibly capable laptop. XDR display, great webcam quality, outstanding speakers, all in a laptop. It's incredible. Apple outdid themselves with M series silicon. I am not even an apple fanboy (this is my 2nd mac, 1st was a 2020 MBP13 intel from work - the difference is night and day)

[@pearlos]

I totally agree with you the MacBook M1 Pro 14 inch is the best bang for buck, after that it's the MacBook Air M1.

[@nicktw8688]

It's 2 years old. The M2 pro has superior GPU.

[@pearlos]

@@nicktw8688I agree but, slower ssd and ram because it's one stick compare to two on the m1 models and it costs $250 more the 14 inch m1pro costs $1500 compare to $1750 for the m2pro

[@MonsieurGuy]

@@nicktw8688 99% of people won't be able to utilise the better GPU in the M2 pro, they're better off saving money and getting the M1 pro on discount. Also, you say the M1 is 2 years old like it's suddenly old and outdated. Most similarly priced laptops still can't even match the M1 pros performance. Stop drinking the KOOL aid, the M3 will be the jump that everyone expected the M2 to be.

[@TheThinkingPhilosopher]

none since the new macs are getting announced this month.

[@techmaster4913]

The 13 inch m2 MacBook Air is easily the best value, it’s 100 dollars more then the m1 at $1099 instead of $999 but u get so much for that price including MagSafe, fast charging, faster M2 chip, much brighter and higher res screen and it’s just so much better then the M1 version, honestly the M1 is about 3 years old and I would only buy it under 800 dollars and no more then like 700 dollars, if u think the M2 is more expensive, u can find the M2 air 13 for 900 dollars

[@Ziyang-Xie]

Given that my intel macbook still working fine, I would get a 15inch mba with M2.

[@seanminser-wg3hb]

I just picked up a certified refurbished M1 16 MacBook Pro base model for 1449.00 I was able to add Apple Care I'm good for at least 5 years!

[@bella1329]

6:31 bro nct always at the crime scene 😭😭😭

[@Drew1218s]

At $749 through Amazon the m1 MacBook Air is still an insane value. I still can’t think of any windows machine that matches it’s Battery life and performance for the price.

[@KingsOfFootball6ringsL]

Guys pls help I have 3 more years of high school and 1100 bucks. I currently am using a base model 2017 MacBook Air in fair condition. Should I get the 2020 M1 MacBook Air or keep mine?

[@Drew1218s]

@@KingsOfFootball6ringsL m1 air is 749 right now on Amazon and a significant upgrade

[@reincarnated.phoenix]

I currently have a MacBook Pro (2020) base model but I am looking to upgrade within the next two years or so. This was a very helpful vid

[@alxb.5467]

Thanks a lot for sharing!! I would like to know what would you recommand for me as a day trader? I am running multiple app at the same time and I need something robust enough to not even blink if I use multiple app and multiple monitor. I am make money reading the charts so I need something fast and strong. I love mac computer so I was hesitating for the M2 pro and M2 max. I dont really have a budget, I just want the best for my needs. Thanks again!

[@tony.cortez]

Just buy the m1 air, i have the 14 base mbp m1 pro, it’s a beast, I don’t even use its full potential.

[@P--O]

Great and really helpful walkthrough!

[@jordangrant8572]

The mac's are stacked: air, pro, air, pro, air, pro. All in that order

[@techmaster4913]

The 13 inch M2 air is a really good price, I’ve seen it for like 800 dollars, the 15 inch M2 air is cheaper now too that the M3 MacBook Air 15 and 13 inch, they have the same hardware as the new m3 airs It smokes the M1 MacBook Air because it’s got way better hardware and is way newer and better thermals then the m1,

[@boogiedownbronx73]

Right now the m2 air is 899 or even 800 refur...the m1 is same price
