Hey! I need a new laptop for uni and I’m considering getting the 2020 MacBook Air. I’d like to know if the new M1 chip is compatible with softwares used at uni. It would be great if you could help out 😅 great video by the way 👍😀
You see, the amount of ram doesn’t effect the general performance. It’s ram speeds that does. All the amount of ram contributes to is the performance with how many programs you have running at the same time. For example, performance is going to be identical between 8gb and 16 when running google chrome and a few folders open. But 16gb will outperform 8 if you have lightroom, 15 google chrome tabs, and a video render on FCP all active, at the same time.

Use your desire to have these things as a way to motivate yourself to acquire skills and knowledge for your future. You got this! Youre not far from being able to get these things for yourself. Dont be like me and take way too long to start working. You dont have to figure out what you want to do for life right away, that pressure is insane, but at least work towards something save some money for your future and some for things you want. Also, the most important thing is don't be rendered insecure if you dont have some type of material thing. People who are worthy of your time don't give a damn about things like that.

I am a PhD scholar. My usages are writing thesis, paper, online classes, translation, movie watching etc, should I go for 8gb/512gb or 16gb/1tb?
you can probably do that on even a 500 dollar laptop so id say go for the 8 gb if u still havent gotten one

La MacBook 💻 air es muy buena también 👍🏻👍🏻
Macbook air m1 is a beast of a machine..
I’m wondering how Notability for i(Pad)OS work on M1. Would your experience warrant the purchase of Notability for MacOS?
You can get it for free if you have the ipad version. It syncs all your notes and let‘s you edit & add new notes
@@Coolkat777 can you still sync without connecting iCloud?
@@tokkigifs No :(.
I often edit videos so..Which one should I get the 8gigs or the 16 ?
16
8, since 8 in M1 equal to 16 in intel
Get Final Cut Pro once you get it. I got the 16GB version and I’ve had no problems. -fellow M1 user

🤦 MacBook Air good for students. Depending on what you are doing and getting into.
Computer science?
@@nolifezay4636 good
Nice video
Does it have a disc drive??
What do you mean, the size of it really is blowing my mind lol
How many gigs would you recommend for an iPad Pro? Also is 8gb ram good enough for a MacBook Air?
depends on what you will do, but generally speaking, 8gb is more than enough for everyday use
Given that with an iPad Pro you will be doing much more productive work, I would recommend atleast 256gb
@@cbumsteady ...ram gb not storage gb
My 2017 15.4’ only need to charge it once a week. Then again I only use it for school, and I don’t do video editing.
That's awesome. I think you're definitely in the minority there; most laptops after 3 years have pretty bad battery.

Hi Harris! How were you able to download Photoshop on your M1? I can't find the free version on the Mac App Store :(
Adobe Creative Cloud, I think there’s a free trial

If u wait intel for making ARM chips, u may loose ur youth waiting😂
First here
which student need photoshop & video editing?
Any film or photography majors, as well as other graphic design, marketing, communication, etc majors.
..... students who study video editing, filmmaking and stuff?
Can you send me one?
