  • I've used the BASE M1 MacBook Air for over 3 months and I have to say it's honestly an under rated laptop and a serious contender for your money. I hope this video helps you and enjoy!

    After using the base MacBook Air M1 for my work laptop, definitely loved the light weight carry and was able to use multiple programs at one time. Battery life was great. My boyfriend has the same model as his personal use, for his various guitar plugins and guitar programs. Definitely better than my 2016 MacBook Pro (which has slowed down a lot). So, definitely switching to it this year and will be in my ecosystem for years to come. Also, loved your iPad mini 6 video (planning on purchasing that as well soon).

      Wow!! That’s amazing to hear the work and personal experience and seeing the positive feedback! I feel like not everyone needs all the bells and whistles so the M1 MacBook Air is sooo under-rated and with the new chip and my experience so far, the performance is just to impressive.

    Probably the best video on RUclips regarding the MacBook Air. You clearly explained how long the battery lasts while editing videos, around 3 to 4 hours. Also adding how long it takes to fully charge from 25 percent was also valuable information. Additionally, thank you for explaining how the screen looks outside, 400 nits isn't enough. Very informative video. A very capable travel laptop.

    It's a great laptop, agreed. I can actually edit 4K videos at 60fps on my M1 Air with very little issues in FCPX. As long as you keep the video length reasonable, and are not adding tons of layers and effects, it will keep up. I managed a 25 minute video with multiple layers and graphics (and minor colour grading), and it worked quite well (I have the base model as well) For photos and general productivity it's fantastic.

No doubt the MB Air can handle 4k and probably 6k, but it may not be as efficient or seamless over time. In addition to some programmers who utilize heavy work and need multiple heavy programs running at the same time etc. I tend to recommend the MB air to many of my friends

    I got it for Christmas it was technically a Christmas gift to myself. I love the the battery life Is amazing its so fast especially coming from an acer 6 year old Chromebook. This display OMG its so good I did some research its 2k no wonder its so damn good. The build quality Is just amazing. This MacBook I would recommend to most people. People that are not doing a crazy insane amount of high quality video editing or intense gaming on the go. Its such an upgrade from that 6 year old Chromebook. I do not really watch RUclips on my iPhone 11 anymore manly my MacBook just because bigger screen and the screen on the M1 MacBook Air is a lot higher quality then the screen on the standard iPhone 11.

And I agree, I think the MacBook is great for the general everyday user, who even would like to edit, but for intensive purposes like 8k footage, gaming, large motion graphics files, or etc. it's not the ideal laptop. But, nonetheless, still an underrated laptop!!

    Don't use keyboard protector, screen protector and don't leave your laptop closed so long because it leave a mark on monitor or screen like I've experienced (when i leave my laptop close for too long) that can probably can damage your screen permanently. and it is annoying on the eye.

    I made my decision to get MacBook Air in 2022 on June. But apple revealed a WWDC event on June 6 and what they have confirmed about the new MacBook with 2M. You’re explaining so good that people can understand you. But I still wonder if the MacBook Air 1m will get replaced or will get forget by apple and.. if the MacBook 2M would beat it? That’s why I’m worrying about.
    MacBook Pro just come with 2 finish color, that is silver and grey. But MacBook Air comes with silver, grey, and gold. There may be some issues with MacBook some you may have taken up in the video. But I’m sure about there is still settings to fix that. But you decision still snapping in my head and I plan to get it!

      I'm with you! All the rumors of these new laptops make it so hard to make a decision. I was in the same spot as yourself a few years ago. But I would recommend taking a look at what you need a laptop for and if the current selection is enough for those reasonings and if not, wait it out. There is a lot of "fear of missing out" in tech because there is a new laptop or phone every year. I hope this helps and goodluck! I know it's not easy. And thank you!!

Maybe somewhere between the M1 and M1 pro? I am also looking for more ports but the next Air may not have it. Tbh comparison is such a killjoy and I'm torn between getting the base model M1 Air (that comes with great discounts on retail stores) or M1 Air with maxed out ram (retailers don't sell that and buying from the apple website means the same price when it was og released months ago) OR just get the base level 14" Pro.
