Since my old Mid 2014 MacBook Pro is starting to fail I ordered a MacBook Air last week (7 Core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) and now I am checking every day to see if it shipped (currently estimated delivery on the 18th of December)
I just got an M1 air (the 512gb version you can walk into any apple store and buy) to replace my fully loaded mid-2014 15" Pro and I absolutely love it. It is my favorite computer I've ever owned.
My laptop kinda gave up on me so i finally ordered a MacBooc two days ago, not knowing anything about M1 and stuff. Now i binged basically every video on it on YT and yours are my faves! They give me the infos i want in a way i understand. Now i only have to wait until (at least) December 8th.
I’ve been using a 2012 air, and it’s really been showing its age. So glad I held out on upgrading last year, now that the M1 laptops have launched. Just ordered an M1 air w/ 8 cores, 512GB storage, 16GB of RAM. Cant wait! Should receive it by the third week of December.
I disagree on the MacBook Air shell, to me, it's almost like a Porsche 911, it's sort of a timeless design. They did refresh it, what, a year or 18 months ago or so? But Apple should keep that same basic wedge design and just continue to improve it. The only thing are the colors - I love gold, but why do they have to make it a rose gold? I don't want boring silver or slightly darker silver - yet when I buy the gold one I look like a fruit because of the pink shade to it. Fix that Apple, make a gold to match the new iPhone 12 Pro Max gold - I want bling, not boring.
Thanks for making this! Ordered mine and it'd take a week more to arrive! Binge watching your videos, you're taking my excitement level blow up! Can't wait for mine :)
I just received it today and OH MY GOD it is just AMAZINGG! I wasn't a big fan of MacBooks until the M1 chip was released. I used to think that buying a MacBook Air isn't worth it and the Pro is just too expensive. But this one solves that problem and wow, just wow!
So the other major concern that many people have expressed about the M1 Macbooks is that they still have the same sub-par 720p front facing camera. Not an issue for me since I don't ever use it, my biggest issue is with bluetooth. My AirPods (Pro and V2) cut out/stutter ever 5-10 minutes. Not an issue with my early 2020 MBA. Many users on Macrumors are complaining about bluetooth issues...disconnects, cutouts, etc. I'm hoping Apple releases a patch for this soon since my return window is shrinking.
Everything is ok but I'm more worried about your upcoming macbook pro video because you literally don't have any words left to praise that thing now. 😂👏
I've been using my MacBook Air M1 to play WoW, audio editing, recording, video editing, and everything else... during WoW gaming on very high settings (4K and "7" on the graphical settings) I'm getting 45-60FPS and the Air definitely gets warm, but not nearly Intel levels of heat.

@@soda-cr1pn Been using the Mac mini 8gb with pretty much exactly what you described and it handles it perfectly! I opened all my programs, and had like 20+ safari tabs open (lots with RUclips videos playing) and it didn't skip a beat. I had the 16gb I7 mini before this (for 2 weeks before this came out) and I'd say they're pretty close in terms of how much memory pressure they use.
Compared the 13" MacBook Air vs. Pro at Costco this week. The Air was the early 2020 model, but the keyboard, I believe is the same for the M1 Air. While the key travel may be the same, the keys on the Air seem almost recessed into the body, where the Pro keys were obviously raised above the body. The typing on the Pro was a much much nicer experience. Any other comments about the the Air and Pro keyboard?
I just bought this MacBook Air, it actually is due to arrive in two days. Because I was watching a lot of videos about the different Macs available now, this popped up today. Have only had an iPad since my Dell laptop died, (never will I stray from Macs again,) so I had to really get updated on the state of Mac computers. I’m very excited for my new MacBook to get here. Your vids were a help to this & if RUclips had suggested this 2 days ago, I’d have spent less time going back & forth on what to buy. Glad to know I prob made the right choice & will be very happy with my purchase. And that brings me to a point I want to make if anyone else is looking now to buy a new Mac & finds this video & chooses the MacBook Air. Amazon has it for $50 less & they do sell AppleCare if you buy that, AppleCare is the same price as at Apple’s website, but the computer is $50 cheaper. For the basic model described in this video. Used that savings to get the Magic Mouse 2 which I really need because I’m all thumbs & so I always disable the trackpads. Was going to just put up with my silly trackpad problem b/c budget is tight, but yay, I didn’t have to.
Same here, wondering as well .. but I feel like the opposite, that the 512gb ssd is a better upgrade for the money, the 8gb should be more than plenty.
@@benjaminbergel6353 macbook air with 16gb ram and 256 gb ssd. This is because with 16gb ram it will 'future proof it' (wouldn't be slow in the future). With the storage you can get a 1tb hard drive cheaper than upgrading it to 512gb ssd on the apple website.
I have never EVER bought an Apple product in my life and never thought I would, but Apple absolutely killed it with the new M1 laptops! I ordered the Air M1 base model, and seriously couldn't be more excited!
I choose the space gray already, because is a more elegant or serious color for me. But I was thinking to buy the silver one because if it’s scratched you can see the real color below and is going to be silver. I suppose I’ll have to be careful. 😁
Space grey is out of this world. Silver has a little edge at looks when the laptop's closed but space grey nails it when you open the laptop and look at the keyboard and the trackpad area. Space grey is also good when the laptop's closed but legendary when its open. I suggest you go for space grey, as it looks a lot elegant.
@@audreys766 I doubt it, I think apple would want to diversify their lineup more by increasing the distinction between the “pro” and “air” models at a glance. By adding a 14” screen, anyone seeing a 14” MacBook would now know it’s the pro, and that lineup different alone would justify the larger price difference from the air. People that don’t need or care about the larger screen size, would then just go for the air.
Well said! The M1's limit of 8GB or 16GB RAM (unified memory), two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports and a maximum of 2TB SSD storage feel a bit restrictive on the MacBook Pro or the Mac mini, but these are exactly the kind of specs we've come to expect on the MacBook Air. The MacBook Air has finally really come into its own. Three times faster, twice the battery and NO FAN?! I think I'm in love! And this M1 is the bottom-end unit. Can you even imagine what the next machines will be like?
For those curious, the 7-core integrated GPU in the M1 chip matches the GTX 1050ti. And the higher variant having the 8-core integrated GPU, it almost equals the GTX 1650. So don't fall for those notebooks with discrete graphics such as "MX350".
Can you make or recommend a video on switching from Windows to Mac? I've been interested in these laptops for a while, and these ones just might drive me to buy! Great vid as always, keep it up!
Typing this comment on my mid 2015 MacBook Air, which had its fair share of drops, dents and overall abuse but never has it ever crashed, is heartbreaking because I might even consider upgrading the little beast.
Just listening to many hours of videos about the MacBook Air M1, I am returning the base model MacBook Pro M1. The Air M1 I will get will have 16GB unified memory, but I am still tore about internal SSD space! I have external hard drives at my disposal or cloud storage for backup/archive purposes! Mind you; I am in front of a Late 2013 21.5" iMac running Big Sur... Where I am seriously thinking of trading in for credit to spec out the M1...
Hey gary, i was planning on getting the apple silicone pro before we saw the actual computers but i think im going to go for the air now because i can get it earlier and save some money, (i kinda wanted the touch bar but according to everyone its not worth it so i decided to give it up)
I first ordered a MacBook Pro but cancelled it and got the air (which will come a week later now) because after all the reviews and some thinking about it, I realised that I would be wasting my money by buying the Pro. My last MacBook was a Pro and I loved it but the Air just makes more sense this time.
Damn, had this laptop since 2021 November and I'm in love with it. Best battery life, perfect for high level coding and 4K ProRes editing. MIne has the 512gb ssd and 16gb ram with the 8 core gpu. Perfect configuration and I'll chose this over the m2
i spent almost a week watching m1 macbook air videos prior to buying one, and now that i finally got one, I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED. thank you everyday dad.

@@soda-cr1pn 8GB is enough since Apple's new member is quite fast. You don't need 16gigs of ram unless you run android/ iOS emulators, edit videos all day and play games all the time.
My 16gb/512gb Mac Mini came yesterday, way sooner than the Dec 4-11 the site said when I ordered it. I haven't really have time to really put it thru it's paces yet, but I'm liking it so far. I have 1 hiccup, that will probably be fixed as soon a logitech makes a m1 version of Options, Flow on my MX Keys/MX Ergo Trackball will handoff from MBP 16" to the M1 Mac Mini.... However the I have to manually switch back to MBP 16". I keep moving the mouse cursor to the edge and it won't switch.
@@jayfokichu some say the 16gb is not needed. It may increase the life of the ssd and will help with really big projects. I would have probably gone the 8gb route with 1tb. Are you waiting for the m2 in the air or the 16 inch pro ?
How will it handle having an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, and external backup ssd drive using a usb hub? Taking the laptop on the on the road and then returning to the office for editing of photos is a real world use. Is this a good choice for such applications?
Damn you. I'm one of the unfortunate few who bought the 13" MacBook Pro earlier this year (higher end Intel 10 model) and have been kicking myself watching all the great M1 videos. Your video made me go out and get a MacBook Air 'just for the hell of it'. It is amazing as you said. The battery life is just insane. I plan to use it for my "casual" computer and use the MBP (still a decent computer) for the more intensive stuff.
As of the moment any daws other then logic can not run it even with Rosetta 2, so if you buy it either it’s cuz u use logic or your willing to wait on the other softwares to release an arm version
This is my first Macbook, Bought it on release in November and I am so surprised about his preformance! And like said the battery life is crazy. If you looking to buy a laptop, buy this MacBook!
Keep your 16 inch. Dedicated GPU is still powerful. You won't see any performance issue in your daily tasks. However, if you get a very good deal, sell/exchange it.
@@aman9267 Thanks! I'm hesitating so much because I'm still within the return window for the laptop. I bought it even though I knew the M1s were coming for its screen size, so I have until January 8th to return it. I wouldn't lose any money going for the M1 (actually would gain over $1000 in my wallet), so it's been hard to pick! Seems like the M1 can perform just as well as the 16", but I know I'll love the screen size when I'm traveling!
I returned mine and went with the air and omg way better 😂 heat is way less and no fan is great and it’s a great computer overall and only 1/3 of the price of the 16 inch
@@MobileFilmmaking I own the 2019 version I had to install an app that disabled intel turbo and it worked wonders in lowering the temperatures, it runs at around 30-40 when I’m on safari with multiple tabs, before it would go up to 60 forcing the fan to turn on

I just got an M1 air (the 512gb version you can walk into any apple store and buy) to replace my fully loaded mid-2014 15" Pro and I absolutely love it. It is my favorite computer I've ever owned.
the 8 core one? With 8 gigs of ram?
You've convinced me to go for a MBA instead of a pro.... I'm gonna buy it in January
My laptop kinda gave up on me so i finally ordered a MacBooc two days ago, not knowing anything about M1 and stuff. Now i binged basically every video on it on YT and yours are my faves! They give me the infos i want in a way i understand.
Now i only have to wait until (at least) December 8th.
Me watching reviews even after buying the air
I’ve been using a 2012 air, and it’s really been showing its age. So glad I held out on upgrading last year, now that the M1 laptops have launched. Just ordered an M1 air w/ 8 cores, 512GB storage, 16GB of RAM. Cant wait! Should receive it by the third week of December.
Smartphone level battery life, this is just perfect.
This is from a Windows-PC user.
My laptop is struggling to have a 4hr battery life.
gaming laptop here. when im quick i have enough time to run from wall plug to wall plug
workstation laptop here. I can walk, but I better be quick when switching to another outlet.
My laptop is struggling for 1 hour
I disagree on the MacBook Air shell, to me, it's almost like a Porsche 911, it's sort of a timeless design. They did refresh it, what, a year or 18 months ago or so? But Apple should keep that same basic wedge design and just continue to improve it. The only thing are the colors - I love gold, but why do they have to make it a rose gold? I don't want boring silver or slightly darker silver - yet when I buy the gold one I look like a fruit because of the pink shade to it. Fix that Apple, make a gold to match the new iPhone 12 Pro Max gold - I want bling, not boring.
Looks like this is going to be my first Macbook!! 🤩 I'll probably get it w 16gb unified memory & 512gb!
Nice! Hope you enjoy it!
I ordered that config, but delivery time is loooong (I ordered last week, expected delivery is December 18th)
Same config as mine, but shipping mid December 🤯
@@jannikmeissner So lucky you could already order!! It's not even available yet in the PH :(
@@DanRichardsonTV Wahh lucky!! I'm excited for you guys
My only concern is the screen brightness is it as bright as previous MacBook Pros
Thanks for making this! Ordered mine and it'd take a week more to arrive! Binge watching your videos, you're taking my excitement level blow up! Can't wait for mine :)
Thanks for the comment!
I ordered on 22 n it’s said to arrive dec 4th - 11, you too?
@@iLastStar I ordered yesterday it says the same for me
I just received it today and OH MY GOD it is just AMAZINGG! I wasn't a big fan of MacBooks until the M1 chip was released. I used to think that buying a MacBook Air isn't worth it and the Pro is just too expensive. But this one solves that problem and wow, just wow!
Watching this on my M1 Macbook Air. Yes, it's that good!
So the other major concern that many people have expressed about the M1 Macbooks is that they still have the same sub-par 720p front facing camera. Not an issue for me since I don't ever use it, my biggest issue is with bluetooth. My AirPods (Pro and V2) cut out/stutter ever 5-10 minutes. Not an issue with my early 2020 MBA. Many users on Macrumors are complaining about bluetooth issues...disconnects, cutouts, etc. I'm hoping Apple releases a patch for this soon since my return window is shrinking.
Everything is ok but I'm more worried about your upcoming macbook pro video because you literally don't have any words left to praise that thing now. 😂👏
factz
I've been using my MacBook Air M1 to play WoW, audio editing, recording, video editing, and everything else... during WoW gaming on very high settings (4K and "7" on the graphical settings) I'm getting 45-60FPS and the Air definitely gets warm, but not nearly Intel levels of heat.
I ordered one today. Can’t wait to get my hands on it
Mine is in Shanghai right now. I’m playing mental games with myself to try and not check the tracking every 20 minutes. I’m so excited.
Yo, I need an air for school work and stuff like MS office, zoom, ms teams, spotify, chrome safari, a bit of minor gaming, discord etc. do u think that 8GB will be enough or do u think im gonna need to get the 16gb, since im thinking of upgrading from my 4gb 128gb dual core 2014 mac air, which slows down too often. do u think im gonna need 16 gigs or will 8 be enough?
@@soda-cr1pn Been using the Mac mini 8gb with pretty much exactly what you described and it handles it perfectly! I opened all my programs, and had like 20+ safari tabs open (lots with RUclips videos playing) and it didn't skip a beat. I had the 16gb I7 mini before this (for 2 weeks before this came out) and I'd say they're pretty close in terms of how much memory pressure they use.
Compared the 13" MacBook Air vs. Pro at Costco this week. The Air was the early 2020 model, but the keyboard, I believe is the same for the M1 Air. While the key travel may be the same, the keys on the Air seem almost recessed into the body, where the Pro keys were obviously raised above the body. The typing on the Pro was a much much nicer experience. Any other comments about the the Air and Pro keyboard?
In which scenario would you recommend someone to upgrade from the 7 core GPU to the 8 core GPU?
When rendering vid
I have a MacBook Pro 2017 now, it's getting rather old and has the sleep/wake issue. Im getting the air on Monday and I'm soooooooooo excited!
Finally! A laptot from Apple I am willing to buy! The first one in 5 years! Almost got me with the 16 inch one, though!
I just bought this MacBook Air, it actually is due to arrive in two days. Because I was watching a lot of videos about the different Macs available now, this popped up today. Have only had an iPad since my Dell laptop died, (never will I stray from Macs again,) so I had to really get updated on the state of Mac computers. I’m very excited for my new MacBook to get here. Your vids were a help to this & if RUclips had suggested this 2 days ago, I’d have spent less time going back & forth on what to buy. Glad to know I prob made the right choice & will be very happy with my purchase.
And that brings me to a point I want to make if anyone else is looking now to buy a new Mac & finds this video & chooses the MacBook Air. Amazon has it for $50 less & they do sell AppleCare if you buy that, AppleCare is the same price as at Apple’s website, but the computer is $50 cheaper. For the basic model described in this video. Used that savings to get the Magic Mouse 2 which I really need because I’m all thumbs & so I always disable the trackpads. Was going to just put up with my silly trackpad problem b/c budget is tight, but yay, I didn’t have to.
Which macbook air;
8gb ram with 512gb ssd or
16gb ram with 256gb ssd?
(I'm an accounting and finance student and need something to last for 4 years)
16 gb ram
Same here, wondering as well .. but I feel like the opposite, that the 512gb ssd is a better upgrade for the money, the 8gb should be more than plenty.
Would you say the 3 year apple care is worth getting?
@@bigw208 I do not know how much that costs, I am not from the US. Also, have you decided on which version of MBA you gonna get?
@@benjaminbergel6353 macbook air with 16gb ram and 256 gb ssd. This is because with 16gb ram it will 'future proof it' (wouldn't be slow in the future). With the storage you can get a 1tb hard drive cheaper than upgrading it to 512gb ssd on the apple website.
I have never EVER bought an Apple product in my life and never thought I would, but Apple absolutely killed it with the new M1 laptops! I ordered the Air M1 base model, and seriously couldn't be more excited!
I am very indecisive. Which color should I choose? Silver or space gray? 🤯
I choose the space gray already, because is a more elegant or serious color for me. But I was thinking to buy the silver one because if it’s scratched you can see the real color below and is going to be silver. I suppose I’ll have to be careful. 😁
Space grey is out of this world. Silver has a little edge at looks when the laptop's closed but space grey nails it when you open the laptop and look at the keyboard and the trackpad area. Space grey is also good when the laptop's closed but legendary when its open. I suggest you go for space grey, as it looks a lot elegant.
your hat reminds me so much of a dad who spends most of his time on the garage doing some car or construction stuff.
This air is amazing, the fanless design makes it better than pro imo and apple is going to re design it and give it more power with future m2 and m3
I was wondering if I should buy the M1 Air now or wait for the potential 14-inch to come in 2021...
I just want the 14 inch to be released already! Lol
I would love a 14 inch MacBook Air with a 16 inch style screen and 4 thunderbolt ports.
@@TheEverydayDad don't just blurt out everybody's dream like that Gary!
Do you think the 14” will come to the air as well?
@@audreys766 I doubt it, I think apple would want to diversify their lineup more by increasing the distinction between the “pro” and “air” models at a glance. By adding a 14” screen, anyone seeing a 14” MacBook would now know it’s the pro, and that lineup different alone would justify the larger price difference from the air. People that don’t need or care about the larger screen size, would then just go for the air.
When will it come out?
Well said!
The M1's limit of 8GB or 16GB RAM (unified memory), two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports and a maximum of 2TB SSD storage feel a bit restrictive on the MacBook Pro or the Mac mini, but these are exactly the kind of specs we've come to expect on the MacBook Air.
The MacBook Air has finally really come into its own.
Three times faster, twice the battery and NO FAN?! I think I'm in love!
And this M1 is the bottom-end unit. Can you even imagine what the next machines will be like?
PC user switching to my first Mac, 16G 1T M1, cant wait to get my hands on it!!!
For those curious, the 7-core integrated GPU in the M1 chip matches the GTX 1050ti. And the higher variant having the 8-core integrated GPU, it almost equals the GTX 1650. So don't fall for those notebooks with discrete graphics such as "MX350".
Can you make or recommend a video on switching from Windows to Mac? I've been interested in these laptops for a while, and these ones just might drive me to buy! Great vid as always, keep it up!
Typing this comment on my mid 2015 MacBook Air, which had its fair share of drops, dents and overall abuse but never has it ever crashed, is heartbreaking because I might even consider upgrading the little beast.
I wish apple had Amazon class shipping
Buy them on Amazon, problem solved! 🤷♂️
@@gardiolan they aren't available
Just listening to many hours of videos about the MacBook Air M1, I am returning the base model MacBook Pro M1. The Air M1 I will get will have 16GB unified memory, but I am still tore about internal SSD space! I have external hard drives at my disposal or cloud storage for backup/archive purposes!
Mind you; I am in front of a Late 2013 21.5" iMac running Big Sur... Where I am seriously thinking of trading in for credit to spec out the M1...
Where u got the better WoW experience? 16" with the graphics or the M1? Askin for myself ,greetings from Germany, im a huge fan :)
I’m going from an iPad to a MacBook Air. I’m so excited.
Hey gary, i was planning on getting the apple silicone pro before we saw the actual computers but i think im going to go for the air now because i can get it earlier and save some money, (i kinda wanted the touch bar but according to everyone its not worth it so i decided to give it up)
same!!!
Same feeling
I first ordered a MacBook Pro but cancelled it and got the air (which will come a week later now) because after all the reviews and some thinking about it, I realised that I would be wasting my money by buying the Pro. My last MacBook was a Pro and I loved it but the Air just makes more sense this time.
Damn, had this laptop since 2021 November and I'm in love with it. Best battery life, perfect for high level coding and 4K ProRes editing. MIne has the 512gb ssd and 16gb ram with the 8 core gpu. Perfect configuration and I'll chose this over the m2
Good thing I ordered one. 16GB, 512ssd. Can't wait! Good Videos, keep it UP!
Got the same ,cant wait its taking forever to arrive :(
Im usually a MBP 13 person too!! The fact that i just brought an Air 13 I was nervous but so so very glad i i did!
"spent hours and hours" bro you could've just told the number of hours the battery lasted.
i spent almost a week watching m1 macbook air videos prior to buying one, and now that i finally got one, I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED. thank you everyday dad.
Macbook: Doesn't loose any battery when its closed
My laptop: looses 1 percent every second even on charge : (
(btw I ordered MBP and it'll be arriving soon, will edit this comment with my review) :P
Congrats and welcome to the gang.

@@soda-cr1pn 8GB is enough since Apple's new member is quite fast. You don't need 16gigs of ram unless you run android/ iOS emulators, edit videos all day and play games all the time.
@@NamanBajpaii
If you can get the 16gb, it’ll future proof you, since Macs last a long time.....
@@scubasteve1555 Yes true!
But if all you're gonna do is watch Netflix and edit presentations, then I don't think it's worth it
My 16gb/512gb Mac Mini came yesterday, way sooner than the Dec 4-11 the site said when I ordered it.
I haven't really have time to really put it thru it's paces yet, but I'm liking it so far.
I have 1 hiccup, that will probably be fixed as soon a logitech makes a m1 version of Options,
Flow on my MX Keys/MX Ergo Trackball will handoff from MBP 16" to the M1 Mac Mini.... However the I have to manually switch back to MBP 16".
I keep moving the mouse cursor to the edge and it won't switch.
Make a video about M1 Mini 16GB if its able to handle 4K multi cam without jittering ?
I don't think we have anybody else watching your video and this channel or caring about m1 macs 😅😂
@c a i t l y n lol i meant no harm at all. It was just a response to @soamjena in good faith. looks like it came out bad lol
Orderd mine last week, sucks tho that it takes forever to be shipped, its says I'll get it between December 10-17
i am learning front end web development and do very light 3d modeling. will the base model work for me?
oh yes.
Buttery smooth.
I have been using one while on vacation. Wow it’s so fast !!! It is eating through FCP. 8 core 16gb 1 TB
I was considering getting the MacBook Air with these specs! Debating between this or base model to wait for M2 chip.
@@jayfokichu some say the 16gb is not needed. It may increase the life of the ssd and will help with really big projects. I would have probably gone the 8gb route with 1tb. Are you waiting for the m2 in the air or the 16 inch pro ?
Please compare it to the xps 13. ik mac will win but i want to know by how much.
@@PPLRRN yes the R7 and R9 are really powerful. I love those chips

How will it handle having an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, and external backup ssd drive using a usb hub? Taking the laptop on the on the road and then returning to the office for editing of photos is a real world use. Is this a good choice for such applications?
It’s “fan-less”-tastic! 😉
Damn you. I'm one of the unfortunate few who bought the 13" MacBook Pro earlier this year (higher end Intel 10 model) and have been kicking myself watching all the great M1 videos. Your video made me go out and get a MacBook Air 'just for the hell of it'. It is amazing as you said. The battery life is just insane. I plan to use it for my "casual" computer and use the MBP (still a decent computer) for the more intensive stuff.
I just don’t know if this will be enough for music production :(
Depends on the applications you will use
@@_itzomar1952 good point! I wonder if the 8GB of RAM would be sufficient for a few plug ins on Logic

This time next year, “Here’s the release with bezels that smoke the XPS”... 😧
Fingers crossed
I can't stop watching M1 videos trying to figure out if I should keep my new 16" mbp or return it for the M1 macbook pro or air... 😩
Keep your 16 inch. Dedicated GPU is still powerful. You won't see any performance issue in your daily tasks. However, if you get a very good deal, sell/exchange it.
@@aman9267 Thanks! I'm hesitating so much because I'm still within the return window for the laptop. I bought it even though I knew the M1s were coming for its screen size, so I have until January 8th to return it. I wouldn't lose any money going for the M1 (actually would gain over $1000 in my wallet), so it's been hard to pick! Seems like the M1 can perform just as well as the 16", but I know I'll love the screen size when I'm traveling!
@@e_velog RETURN IT!!! You can test the new one and save lots of money - or you don't like it, give it back, too, and get another 16" again.
