This two men army is definitely taking this channel to another level . All the best Andres and Jan for the future videos 💖⚙😍
I watched so many videos and first I wanted the 16 inch macbook pro, then 14 inch and now you and another guy brought me to think the macbook air m1 is just more than fine for my needs.
Definitely love the detailed video, the quality and just the amount of time and effort you put into this. I don't know if I can make the switch over to MacBooks, but if I did at this point in my RUclips content creator career, I'd be fine with a M1 Air. But if I had money to spare that MacBook Pro is tempting! Keep up the amazing work and I definitely subscribed to your channel!
Thank you so much for the comment man means a lot! Super happy I am able to help. I think the air will do you just fine for now. I wish you all the best!!
Here’s the thing, it would be nice to have MagSafe, 120hz, higher res screen, duel monitor support and a larger screen. I feel thats worth the extra cost
@@teemuvesala9575 I mean, for double the price of the Air you get double the ram, storage and GPU cores + all of the things I mentioned above. It's deffo worth the price
@@REAZNx And considerably worse battery life... If you consider 14" MBP then 16" MBP becomes very tempting as you realize its better in a lot of ways (battery, speakers, more screen real estate).
Let’s not forget support for more than 16gb ram. If you start using docker or any other virtualisation I don’t think 16gb going to cut it… pro all the way.
In the UK right now it’s about £435 difference between the 16GB/512GB Air and the M1 Pro (binned) with the same memory and RAM. For a further £250 you can get a Mac Studio with 32GB RAM and 512GB SSD and M1 Max. Tough to choose. The M1 Pro is needed if you want to go for 32GB RAM, the Studio offers the most power for the money but obviously isn’t very portable.
I love it, Andres. You literally answered all the questions I needed in terms of which to choose for web dev, common use, dual-screen setup, etc. Thank you!
i was f-ing waiting for this video since you posted it on community tab! thanks man! really helps for making a decision on getting one for my engineering journey.
I agree !! Honestly the air is perfect for everyday use, but the MacBook Pro is needed only for heavy video editing and other very demanding tasks😊😊 I’m still saving up for the M1 Max and it will be an incredible addition 👌🏻😊
I just got the MacBook Pro 14 in M1 Pro for $400 off on BestBuy. It was a great Black Friday Deal. I've been using the laptop for a week now, and honestly, apart from the nicer screen, I see no real difference in term of performance compared to my MacBook Air. My use is mainly VS code and Chrome as I'm a CS major college student. All in all, the deal is great for the Pro, but I'm returning it. If you're not doing anything that deals with video editing, then the Pro shouldn't be the concern at all.
@@manvendra_singh You have even less reason for the MacBook with either M1 Pro or M2 Pro if your use case is programming, especially as a coding student. The main difference in the Pro chips versus the normal version is mostly in GPU performance, which is not at all used in coding, except for very specific situations.
Here we go! Thanks, man. Now I'm confident that 14" is the right choice. Perfect size (not too big not too small), easy for travels and of course battery life. Great video! Please keep it up
@@dotinsideacircle I have the 14 inch base model, and I never heard the fans even once. That doesn't mean they don't turn on, it's just that I can't hear it.
Omigosh Andres... with your new office space and all i think you're becoming something like Linus tech Tips! All i can say is *Keep Grinding* Good Luck!!
Thanks for making me realize that i should just save all that extra cash and go with the air lmao. All i do is open chrome and take notes in onenote and I already got a powerhouse in my gaming pc, so the air will be just fine for all the regular stuff i needa do. Great video man!!!
I am leaning towards the air next year for programming front-end web, I think the pro will be paying extra for really nothing - but I love your informative videos - they are very helpful, thank you
i have both the air and the pro 14 and i barely use the pro 14 ... always the air, since the power is enough, the battery is better, its lighter and i can carry it from office to home and vice versa.... well...
@Quan Truong Even Air can with technology called DisplayLink (not to confuse with DisplayPort). I run my Air with 2 external monitors + the internal one (= 3 monitors).
I got a mbp 16" m1 pro and a mbp 13" m1, I always try to switch to the 16" but I end up going back to 13", as a software engineer feel 0 difference on real world usage, and its easy to carry around. I hope apple still release 13" inches slim and light weight laptops
The 14” M1 Pro only gives you about 1 more line of code in full screen xCode Vs the 13” so I think the 13” is really great if you only need 1 external display and 16GB RAM
@@DanielHarrisCodes Yep, I am using it with an ultra wide monitor, so I have my gaming laptop on laptop stand and mbp 13 under the monitor lifter, it fits perfect. To use the 16" one I need to move my gaming laptop and place the MacBook there, which is annoying because I have to do it everyday
Thanks for the detailed video. As a developer/programmer, I returned Mac pro M1 14" and got a Mac Air M1 16gb refurbished just because we as programmers don't need those extra GPU cores. Yes, graphics designers/video editor should go with 14 version. Rest Mac air is hands down the best value portable developer laptop even in 2022 after M2 Air launched.
@@FurkanGulsen get a macbook pro 14 since there is not much difference in cost when comparing 16gb 512 m2 air. And 14 pro is just great laptop comparatively what you get inside the hood plus promotion, speakers, ports, extra gpus, bandwidth, etc. On side note, if still on budget get a m1 air 16gb since that will save you almost half the money. I got refurbished 16gb 256ssd by luck for 1319 cad. Its brand new even though refurbished. I personally prefer portability since most of the time i use ultra-wide 144hz monitor for programming so 60hz display doesn’t bother me on air but extra weight of laptop does which is the only reason to go for m1/m2 air over pro 14.
@@bhaumikd I will have to wait 1 month for m2. It hasn't been released yet and I have to buy a laptop within a week. I take advantage of the student discount. So right now m2 (pro-air same) and m1 pro are the same price. What would you do if it was the same price?
I got baseline m1 pro 14inch and to be honest as i am both android and web developer i see both my work can be done on air as well i am getting macbook 14 because i can simple and the package it provides like better display, cam, speaker, power, speed its all worth if you see this as tool not a toy.
Nice video and very good comparison. I got your same configuration for my Macbook Pro 14s and I'm in love with it, that's such a good machine for developers.
There're people saying that the MacBook Air from no where the windows break and they said that it was a careless use, but other people has has report the same problem with this machine....
One reason to spend the extra $$$ for the 14" MBP is you'll get your money back when you go to sell it in a few years. The current 2021 M1 Air is an obsolete design - we all know it will be redesigned in 10 months from now. It's the 'old' design language and will be worth much much less than it should be 3-5 years from now. There will be used 2022 Air's on the market at the same time and the old gen Air will be a hard sell. So if you keep your laptops for a while and keep them in good condition, you might as well plunk down the extra for the 14" Pro and enjoy it while you're using it. The screen size and quality is enough of a difference. You also get the 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM vs. 256/8 in the Air.
I was going to buy the pro, but after watching this and a few other videos, I’ve changed my mind! I have always owned pro’s, even though I don’t do any heavy editing or coding, just because I like the longevity and other perks (ports, etc). My industry increasingly requires some video and design work, but not enough to make the pro seem worth it anymore.
Good review. Personally I'd have liked a more detailed review of Excel (Silicon and in a VM) on these machines. Fast Excel performance is my #1 buying requirement for my next Mac.
When you buy you should also consider the future. If you buy a strong pro you can keep it for 4-5 years and still have a super machine, with the air you'd need to upgrade faster. All that said, still, only programmers with lots of docker or content creators might need it.
Guys it is easy to get carried away with with new model on every corner- for any common user the MacBook Air is the choice ( if you can go for the 16 GB version) People who works with graphic intensive tasks (You would know if you do) need the any of the pro models. Student, office workers, home use and day to day task - Please don't waste your money Just go with MacBook Air OR Mac Min. Its worth it. I have been using mind since last June. and it can handle web conferencing and all of my office work ( Work processing, Web base systems, multiple email accounts and ETC)
@@marysy9032 I take it you are a light user - if you are - yes go with 8 GB - ( if you can go with 16 do so ) If you can go with 256 + 16 GB and it fit the budget go with it and buy a cheap external hard drive- the only reason I ask you to consider 16 GB ram is for the future - if you are person who is going to upgrade the laptop in the next 2 years - go with 8 GB it will be fine- I have been using mine (256+16) for more than a year and its perform as it did when it was new- ( I have rearly seen my ram use go beyond 8 GB anyway)
I work in UI/UX and some QA. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, Axure, Xcode emulators, Multiple browsers w multiple tabs while at the same time being connected to 10+ vms. So I hope the 14’ Pro 32gb 1tb will handle it with ease.
no laptop can handle "10+ VMS." so you are con via the cloud so I would say you can go with even Air if most of your work is via the cloud but again you do Ux/UI I say this is why you will need to opt for the 14"
@@BrieoRobino the only one who actually does what he says is a full stack and a DevOps with 10 years experience and still struggle to believe he also does UX/UI or anything design related and if he works in such a pro-level I would assume as most companies I know they have physical devices to test the UX in it.
my 14 inch is coming tomorrow (from a 16 inch i9 heater/wind turbine) and I can't wait. Not a power user so definitely overkill but looking forward to it being quiet and cool throughout.
Thank you for this awesome video, I am a beginner of programming, still decide to go for MacBook Pro M1 pro basic + 1TB, cuz I am planning to have it for 5 years at least.
@@dannysalazar7568I think it is a bit overkill for me, I don’t do video editing or use any heavy program, I am learning SQL, python with small databases and some front end like react JS, Gatsby etc, it runs smoothly. But I think most of those things can be done on MBA, like MBP’s monitor and also for long term benefits I don’t regret having it. Buy earlier can enjoy it sooner:)
Now Thats why I follow Andres Vidoza, I broke my head for hours and finally, I've Gotten an Answer, I am gonna get the air and Build a custom pc with an i7-12700K and RTX 3060ti, Thank you so so Much andres!!! You need 1M!
Got a 16 inch, initially felt a bit regret that screen is big as I was coming from MBA but after using for 2 months, my MBA is ready to be sold as I don’t want to go back to that small screen, everything is way much better on 16” and you get used to size slowly just like how we got used to from iPhone 3,4 size to iPhone pro and pro max sizes. Watching Netflix shows and movies is definitely worth more on 16” than on 14”. Highly recommended that extra money to get 16” than 14”. Instead of 14” I suggest to stay on MBA if size matters and not quality.
My air m1 is very nice, i manage to run both xcode and android studio simulators at ones but it gets laggy. That's because i have 8gb ram model but even then its crazy how this tiny laptop can handle such tasks. I am considering upgrade to 14 inch, If I would've had 16gb ram on my air I wouldn't bother. But since I have to replace it I'd rather go for 14 inch in this case. One thing to note is that with Monteray and xcode 13 my air m1 became less perfomant and more power hungry. It also started to heat up more frequently not sure if that because of the new os or xcode or both. I would stay with Big sur if I woud've known that before the upgrade. But overall for $1300 air is very good machine, if you are a developer defenitely pick 16gb ram model it's a must, believe me!
Honestly the only thing I would want from the pro is the promotion and the mini led. If I could get that on the air it would be perfect. I have absolutely no use for the extra power.
I‘m a software engineering student in his first year, with a heavy load of stuff to study. Do you think 8gb of ram in the air are enough for the next 3-4 years? Edit: I bough the 8GB model, since Im on a tight budget, but honestly even with 8gb it's amazing and I can do everything for university as well as much more. E.g 8GB on Windows are nothing compared to this. Cheers
Yes, without a doubt. I believe that Air would be an excellent alternative for you if you are a student on a tight budget with a number of projects/college assignments to complete.
Thank you for the review and for the honest verdict! The specs are so similar and it does seem more worth to save the $1000 and to maybe consider the upgrade if you actually need it. I decided to get the MBA M1 (512 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM) and if I need more power I'd definitely consider the MBP Pro in the future.
Thank you so much for this video! Now Im leaning more towards m1 air instead of m1 pro. Have you tried doing docker and mobile dev work in macbook air? Im wondering whats the performance on that.
I have a M1 Air with 8Gb of RAM and it definitely is too little. If I have VsCode + Chrome open with 3 Containers mainly php-apache, phpmyadmin and a tiny mysql database running, the 8Gb are completely full and it uses a swap of around 5Gb. So maybe 16Gb would be enough? It really depends on how many containers you plan on running. If you want to "future-proof" get 32Gb of RAM.
Not very good conclusion. For majority of people it’s the screen real estate and quality that dictates that you’d better choose MBP 14” device. Extra power, ports, better webcam and sound are the sweet additions, but these are only secondary advantages. Just compare screen real estate to understand that MBA 13 is too small in 2022.

@@Mr.Singhhh Macbook Air is good for you, I'm using 2017 MacBook Air and works well...you don't need more
Ah finally! A quality content!😎
Guys it is easy to get carried away with with new model on every corner- for any common user the MacBook Air is the choice ( if you can go for the 16 GB version) People who works with graphic intensive tasks (You would know if you do) need the any of the pro models. Student, office workers, home use and day to day task - Please don't waste your money Just go with MacBook Air OR Mac Min. Its worth it. I have been using mind since last June. and it can handle web conferencing and all of my office work ( Work processing, Web base systems, multiple email accounts and ETC)
Is 8gb ram still okay orr
@@marysy9032 I take it you are a light user - if you are - yes go with 8 GB - ( if you can go with 16 do so ) If you can go with 256 + 16 GB and it fit the budget go with it and buy a cheap external hard drive- the only reason I ask you to consider 16 GB ram is for the future - if you are person who is going to upgrade the laptop in the next 2 years - go with 8 GB it will be fine- I have been using mine (256+16) for more than a year and its perform as it did when it was new- ( I have rearly seen my ram use go beyond 8 GB anyway)
Nice review, thanks for the comparison! I can now choose the right one! amazing videos!!!
Great video man ❤️🔥🔥 production Quality and Cinematics are god level ❤️🔥🎉
I work in UI/UX and some QA. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, Axure, Xcode emulators, Multiple browsers w multiple tabs while at the same time being connected to 10+ vms. So I hope the 14’ Pro 32gb 1tb will handle it with ease.
I was wondering if the M1 Air could be use for the same tasks, except Axure and Xcode and the vms.
Do you connect to the VMs or are you running the VMs locally? 10 concurrent VMs is a lot.
no laptop can handle "10+ VMS." so you are con via the cloud so I would say you can go with even Air if most of your work is via the cloud but again you do Ux/UI I say this is why you will need to opt for the 14"
@@ko-Daegu they're full of crap. No one that does UX needs 10 VMs.
@@BrieoRobino the only one who actually does what he says is a full stack and a DevOps with 10 years experience and still struggle to believe he also does UX/UI or anything design related
and if he works in such a pro-level I would assume as most companies I know they have physical devices to test the UX in it.
Supporting you form the Philippines 🇵🇭
my 14 inch is coming tomorrow (from a 16 inch i9 heater/wind turbine) and I can't wait. Not a power user so definitely overkill but looking forward to it being quiet and cool throughout.
One of the best comparisons i've seen! Thank you!)
I ordered my m1 air 2 days ago and it'll arrive in a month so hyped!
Video and editing on this video is awesome
That intro song is epic nice work..
Good review! Finally someone who does things other than just video editing. Keep up the good work. Do you think you’ll do a flutter benchmark?
Amazing still very impressed with the performance with the M1 chip for the air.
Some great production quality man
Exactly the video I was looking for, thanks a lot
FIRE REVIEW
Hello sir
awesome video, digged the new looks
Thank you Diego!!
Thank you for this awesome video, I am a beginner of programming, still decide to go for MacBook Pro M1 pro basic + 1TB, cuz I am planning to have it for 5 years at least.
Im super happy to help!! Nw at all
How’s it going so far? I’m getting into Python programming as well and still deciding which one should I get 😅
@@dannysalazar7568I think it is a bit overkill for me, I don’t do video editing or use any heavy program, I am learning SQL, python with small databases and some front end like react JS, Gatsby etc, it runs smoothly. But I think most of those things can be done on MBA, like MBP’s monitor and also for long term benefits I don’t regret having it. Buy earlier can enjoy it sooner:)
Now Thats why I follow Andres Vidoza, I broke my head for hours and finally, I've Gotten an Answer, I am gonna get the air and Build a custom pc with an i7-12700K and RTX 3060ti, Thank you so so Much andres!!! You need 1M!
Happy to help man!!
Thanks Man! I will buy Macbook Pro 14 next month and thanks this advice deepnote: I am a Game Developer
Everything aside
But
Those intros are just ❤️
Air it is and that battery life while coding helps away from a power outlet!
Got a 16 inch, initially felt a bit regret that screen is big as I was coming from MBA but after using for 2 months, my MBA is ready to be sold as I don’t want to go back to that small screen, everything is way much better on 16” and you get used to size slowly just like how we got used to from iPhone 3,4 size to iPhone pro and pro max sizes. Watching Netflix shows and movies is definitely worth more on 16” than on 14”. Highly recommended that extra money to get 16” than 14”. Instead of 14” I suggest to stay on MBA if size matters and not quality.
yo your videos r improving day by day, and those cinematic intros look fire 🔥! informational video btw! 💛 subbed
Thank you so much broski!! Means a lot man
My air m1 is very nice, i manage to run both xcode and android studio simulators at ones but it gets laggy. That's because i have 8gb ram model but even then its crazy how this tiny laptop can handle such tasks. I am considering upgrade to 14 inch, If I would've had 16gb ram on my air I wouldn't bother. But since I have to replace it I'd rather go for 14 inch in this case.
One thing to note is that with Monteray and xcode 13 my air m1 became less perfomant and more power hungry. It also started to heat up more frequently not sure if that because of the new os or xcode or both. I would stay with Big sur if I woud've known that before the upgrade. But overall for $1300 air is very good machine, if you are a developer defenitely pick 16gb ram model it's a must, believe me!
Nice and classy as always, just use a little bit wider frame.
Huge fan of your videos.
Gotchaaa!!
I had to end the video when he said the notch is necessary for a 1080P camera. I like apple products but the camera doesn’t need that notch.
Very Clear Verdict. Loved it. 😁
cinematics are amazing
Honestly the only thing I would want from the pro is the promotion and the mini led. If I could get that on the air it would be perfect. I have absolutely no use for the extra power.
Exactly
I might reconsider buying air than the pro after watching this. Kudos to you!
Hello 👋🏻
As always the video is amazing 🔥
just wanna say
beautiful
epic
banger
amazing
outstanding
wonderful
just wow!!!!
I‘m a software engineering student in his first year, with a heavy load of stuff to study. Do you think 8gb of ram in the air are enough for the next 3-4 years?
Edit: I bough the 8GB model, since Im on a tight budget, but honestly even with 8gb it's amazing and I can do everything for university as well as much more. E.g 8GB on Windows are nothing compared to this. Cheers
Yes, without a doubt. I believe that Air would be an excellent alternative for you if you are a student on a tight budget with a number of projects/college assignments to complete.
Go for 16gb.
What is the lifespan in years of a MacBook Air? I keep my laptops for very long.
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT ANS SETUPS!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much bro!!
Thank you for the review and for the honest verdict! The specs are so similar and it does seem more worth to save the $1000 and to maybe consider the upgrade if you actually need it. I decided to get the MBA M1 (512 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM) and if I need more power I'd definitely consider the MBP Pro in the future.
Looking to go for that exact config.
How do you find it so far?
really wish you compared the 16GB version of the Air. It is much, much more capable for development use.
Thank you so much for this video! Now Im leaning more towards m1 air instead of m1 pro. Have you tried doing docker and mobile dev work in macbook air? Im wondering whats the performance on that.
I have a M1 Air with 8Gb of RAM and it definitely is too little. If I have VsCode + Chrome open with 3 Containers mainly php-apache, phpmyadmin and a tiny mysql database running, the 8Gb are completely full and it uses a swap of around 5Gb. So maybe 16Gb would be enough? It really depends on how many containers you plan on running. If you want to "future-proof" get 32Gb of RAM.
I ended up with the MBA since I already have a 5950x + 3080 PC. Doesn't make sense to spend more when the PC can handle heavy tasks.
exaaaaactly. good stuff
Trust me get the air. Worth the money and already miles better than most laptops out there
great man thanks for so interesting review
Excellent intro and review
thank you for this video
great insight and advice
Thank you for your efforts ❤️🔥
Not very good conclusion. For majority of people it’s the screen real estate and quality that dictates that you’d better choose MBP 14” device. Extra power, ports, better webcam and sound are the sweet additions, but these are only secondary advantages. Just compare screen real estate to understand that MBA 13 is too small in 2022.
