I had never used Mac OS before I bought the new M1 MBA and I called apple support for a question and the tech spent almost 2 hours giving me a tour of Mac OS Big Sur I was impressed !
Just bought one October 2023 for $729 never had a MacBook or any type of Apple Computer but I’ve had three iPads the watch and of course the phones. One thing I believe you left out was the seamless connecting between all of these different things, especially with the watch. Not having to use either a fingerprint or a Pass code. another pluses from Costco you get a two-year warranty with no extra cost.
They dont need to copy anything. Intel and AMD chips from a year ago are still beating the M1 chips Look at Cinebench for example: Apple M1 Multi threaded score: 7760 Ryzen 4600HS: 8934 Ryzen 4800U: 10156 Ryzen 4900U 11061 Ryzen 5800U: 11203 Intel 9980HK: 8370
Im also getting my MacBook Air next week which is also a Christmas gift and I cannot wait! I’m trading an old MacBook Pro in which will place it under $500 total and considering all the reviews I think I made the right decision 🙂
I have had both the M1 Air and Pro for almost a year now, and I can say both laptops are amazing quality. Honestly, I don’t see any significant difference between the performance quality between the two. I actually prefer the air most of the time. I edit videos, pictures, and run a few other programs for work that I didn’t think the air would be able to handle, but it does. If I was to give most people advice on which one to get my answer would be the air!
@@s.bamahfoodh I switched from windows 3 years ago, for the first few months I struggled to get used to macos (the top row of things, the dock, etc) but now I am 100% used to it and can't go back to windows (because it is so complicated)
I bought it, too and I'm absolutely impressed! Way better than the Intel Mac before. Battery life lasts for about 1-2 weeks with my personal usage. I have mine for about two weeks now and I'm totally satisfied!
From my experience 4K renders in almost real-time. So it’s going to be. 2 hour export. I’d expect it to get hot and throttle to maybe 80-90% performance for maybe a small portion of the export. So it might make the 2 hour export turn into a 3 hour export, at most. But I’d bet the machine you’re coming from was nowhere near those numbers for 4K exports. 1080p is usually done in a quarter the files duration. So 2 hours would take 30 minutes. I do 30-60 minute exports on my air constantly and have no issues with heat.
The Air is my first MacBook as I’ve been a Widows user all my life. My last note book purchase was an Lenovo with a Celeron processor, about 12 years ago. Mine came with Windows 8. I got a free download to Windows 10; that’s how old that Lenovo was. Needless to say moving to the MacBook Air was a mind blowing upgrade for me. It took me about an hour to familiarize myself with the Mac interface. This is an awesome computer, the speed, the display, the battery life, the Mac OS. Some reviewers criticized the Air for not having a touch screen. I don’t see it happening ever, as it would kill Apples iPad market. I got a crazy good deal at BestBuy, $750 plus tax with the student discount. It felt like I stole it.
“Annoying touchbar”. Finally I hear this from a tech channel. I’ve been thinking I’m unnecessarily too oldschool for it. As a person who loves to put both hands on the keyboard and use it without looking at it, I’ve never got used to touchar because of accidental “touches”. Hope they come up with macbook pro models without touchbar in future.
Damn! I wasn’t expecting that “in future” was sooner than a year. I paid $3K to that touchbar thingy last year (yeah thingy, beause it’s history now). Good to know that Apple ditched it anyways.

How dare you compare a Dell to any Apple product!! I’ve owned 3 of those Dells you mentioned. The first one went over the balcony when it was a month old. I got tired of making calls to Dell because things kept going wrong. Dell is trash and the only reason why I chose Dell in the first place was because it was so special with photography. Well it’s hard for me to give an honest review of Dells because the Dells were always breaking down and I got tired of the constant calls to Dell.

I bought the mid-2020 Macbook Pro. Kicking myself for it now. I checked the trade-in value and it's $700. After this review, I am seriously considering trading mine in to get the MI Air for the extended battery life and kick-butt performance.
we are using MbP 2019-2020 at work, to be honest I still preffer my MbP 13 / 2015 at home. And now I'm trying my sister's MbP 13" M1 basic version. Well ..I think now it's the right time to upgrade. This one is a beautiful beast .
Thanks for the great info! I have my eye on a MacBook Air and this helped, particularly with the RAM choice! Also why would anyone buy any color but gold? :)
Have you purchased yours yet? If yes how do you find it? I’m in the process of buying one and stumbled across this video to see whether it’s the right choice.
Lol ironically these are also better value under 1k. They're more n more mainstream as the years go on. They are slowly cornering all industries they work on just cuz of slow n steady patience and all interconnected. The MCU of CPUs
Yeah, it’s really the total package for a thousand dollars. No PC laptop really can match it in terms of power, battery life, quality, and price at the moment. It’s in a league of its own.
@@muffinhugz1512 I haven’t been using it. I use a Surface Book 2 personally, but do professional work on Macs. I could see myself buying the MacBook Air in a year or so, simply because of the performance and battery life gains, but my Surface Book 2 still works great and I like the touch screen.
I don't really see how the Touch Bar can be described as annoying. For me, it is one of the best additions to the MacBook Apple have released over the last few years. Yes, maybe it is because I use applications which have support for the Touch Bar, but even so, you can revert it back to the standard Function Keys if you want.
This is a good question. With the lack of wide color and the max 300 nits before, the MBA was never a real option for me when I bought a year ago. I wonder if this combo would've gotten me over the hump.
I have a suggestion. Can you also do a review of this laptop from software engineering perspective? A lot of people use macbooks to create software and would be great to know how they perform.
Thanks for the very informative video. That new M1 chip is no joke. It absolutely blows the competition out of the water, and without any fans. Holy God the technical prowess to make this thing is just impressive.
I have never owned a mac computer. I used windows for many years and hated it. I have been using chromebooks for the last 6 years. But I realized I need something more. So today I ordered Macbook air m1 and I am super excited. Plus it comes in gold!
Lol I got one launch day at Best Buy. Its so good we did a trade in thru apple for my husbands old Pro to get one and its been "processing" for weeks hahah.
I just ordered an M1 MacBook Air (16GB/512GB). I've proudly never given Apple my money before this, but the M1 MacBook is truly a standout. As much as I prefer Windows/Intel, I think it will take years for them to catch up. I look forward to not have to look for a wall outlet or to not bring a portable charger for my laptop all the time.
This was the very video I needed to see, I have been pondering the new MB Air for my wife, who is the quintessential user for this hardware. You did a GREAT job presenting the information, the summary up front was precise, didn't waste any time and let me just relax and listen to the rest of the video. Nice work, you have a subscriber for the long haul!
Ok , that is an enthusiastic review. But there are a number of reports that non-Apple bluetooth mice, such as Logitech, do not work reliably . Could you test this , please.
The battery life is just mind-blowing!! However, I think they should have added the light that shows that the device is fully charged without having to open the laptop every time.
I have mine on order (the exact model and color), imagine my thoughts when I saw the title on this video. However this video was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks a mill.
I checked the UPS website on 12-10-20 and it indicates that the M1 MBA I ordered is facing a shipping delay in Shanghai, China. My hands are tied right now, but I admit my concerns are going to increase daily. If that status remains the same 7-10 days from now, I will cancel and then try to purchase the base model that I can carry out of an Apple store. Back in March, I purchased something off eBay that shipped from China ... it took 4 months to receive that item but I just will not wait anywhere near that long again. It is enormously frustrating especially when waiting for something that you really want.
@@usafballer79 A lot of laptops including computers like the Core i9 MacBook Pro throttled like crazy. So for a fanless notebook that's doing this while using only 10 watts of power and performing at the same level of the Intel chips, that's actually damn good. Not all throttles are equal!
Says a lot about todays society that the “long term review” means having tried the unit for two weeks...... That should be what a normal review is about....
Just cancelled my 2020 M1 MacBook Pro order to get the MacBook Air M1 16gig 1 Tb , the difference in performance isn't worth it, and the better form factor and non touch keys is a bonus.
I'm returning mine to Apple after 4 days of use. It SUCKS. Write speed is painfully slow, bluetooth keyboard keeps cutting out, the charger 'ping' sound keeps going off when it's plugged in, Adobe suite runs like a fucking dinosaur on it. So f*cking disappointed

Not quite, Apple have been designing SoCs for years, just that they only used that on iphones not macbooks
@@7654321220 Yeah, I was speaking in terms of M1 itself for the Mac line. 👍
I’ll be upgrading to an M1 MBA from a 2015 MBP and I’m excited to do so much more!
Same here
Same. Got the space gray 8 gig and cannot believe what an upgrade this feels like
I bought the mid-2020 Macbook Pro. Kicking myself for it now. I checked the trade-in value and it's $700. After this review, I am seriously considering trading mine in to get the MI Air for the extended battery life and kick-butt performance.
we are using MbP 2019-2020 at work, to be honest I still preffer my MbP 13 / 2015 at home. And now I'm trying my sister's MbP 13" M1 basic version. Well ..I think now it's the right time to upgrade. This one is a beautiful beast .
This is the best review of the m1 air I’ve watched so far.
Great real world use cases discussed that show the power of this laptop.
Going from my 2017 MB pro to the M1 air made me feel like I was down grading. But not any longer. Thanks. Great vid.
I agree, I’ve used it for 2 weeks now for work, video editing, a lot of multitasking and it’s been amazingly quick. Definitely recommend
Hey, did you use it for designing like PhotoShop and Illustrator ? Thanks in advance
Great delivery bro ! This was a pure seller!
Ordered mine. I owned a 16” MacBook Pro and sold it before these released. Thank god!
I find the M1 to be way more powerful and comfortable for long usage than the Pro, but I prefer the design of the air
Omgg I'm convinced... I was literally debating between the two
So what’s your decision
@@rahimbosh7118 i think it's implied that it's the macbook air
How do you think the Air would preform in humid climates while traveling? Such as Costa Rica? Thank!
Thanks for the great info! I have my eye on a MacBook Air and this helped, particularly with the RAM choice! Also why would anyone buy any color but gold? :)
Have you purchased yours yet? If yes how do you find it? I’m in the process of buying one and stumbled across this video to see whether it’s the right choice.
Actually, the 720p Facetime camera is a GOOD thing for most people.... They don't need or want to have every line, pimple, in glorious 8K
Most hilarious comment ever. xD
Now no one can say that Macs are overpriced.
~ A new and proud fanboy
Lol ironically these are also better value under 1k. They're more n more mainstream as the years go on. They are slowly cornering all industries they work on just cuz of slow n steady patience and all interconnected. The MCU of CPUs
Yeah, it’s really the total package for a thousand dollars. No PC laptop really can match it in terms of power, battery life, quality, and price at the moment. It’s in a league of its own.
@@bizmonkey007 how long have you been using M1 MacBook Air?
@@muffinhugz1512
I haven’t been using it. I use a Surface Book 2 personally, but do professional work on Macs. I could see myself buying the MacBook Air in a year or so, simply because of the performance and battery life gains, but my Surface Book 2 still works great and I like the touch screen.
@@muffinhugz1512 ... lol. 2 weeks ...
I don't really see how the Touch Bar can be described as annoying. For me, it is one of the best additions to the MacBook Apple have released over the last few years. Yes, maybe it is because I use applications which have support for the Touch Bar, but even so, you can revert it back to the standard Function Keys if you want.
This is going to be such an amazing laptop for university students taking notes, learning to program etc
Is it good for 3D Max and autocad?
Nice video, Max! :)
Does anyone know if there is a really huge difference between 400 nits and 500 nits? Or it doesn’t really matter
This is a good question. With the lack of wide color and the max 300 nits before, the MBA was never a real option for me when I bought a year ago. I wonder if this combo would've gotten me over the hump.
You had me hitting the thumbs up at 0:39. Well done!!
I have a suggestion. Can you also do a review of this laptop from software engineering perspective? A lot of people use macbooks to create software and would be great to know how they perform.
Thanks for the very informative video. That new M1 chip is no joke. It absolutely blows the competition out of the water, and without any fans. Holy God the technical prowess to make this thing is just impressive.
i grabbed the macbook pro with 16gb ram and 2tb and wow its incredible
I have never owned a mac computer. I used windows for many years and hated it. I have been using chromebooks for the last 6 years. But I realized I need something more. So today I ordered Macbook air m1 and I am super excited. Plus it comes in gold!
Yeah it would be great if it could FRIGGIN SHIP
They are making them as fast as they can. Demand is unprecedented.
@@fitfogey yeah, I understand
Lol ikr all sheep's isheep apple sheep
@@johndripper I believe the term you meant was, "discriminating customers".
Lol I got one launch day at Best Buy. Its so good we did a trade in thru apple for my husbands old Pro to get one and its been "processing" for weeks hahah.
By far the best reviews on RUclips! I just wonder how you get the performance indicators in the top bar? Cheers.
Thank you! TG fan pro. Istat menus 6.
@@MaxTechOfficial how prevalent is usb c hubs killing m1 macs? ruclips.net/video/FQFeVvOk3bo/видео.html
Just ordered one! Got 16gb and 1tb. I'm so excited.
We can buy these in Best Buy right?
@@Oo-Shiesty I got mine off apple's site but best buy sells some 8gb ones
I just ordered an M1 MacBook Air (16GB/512GB). I've proudly never given Apple my money before this, but the M1 MacBook is truly a standout. As much as I prefer Windows/Intel, I think it will take years for them to catch up. I look forward to not have to look for a wall outlet or to not bring a portable charger for my laptop all the time.
Why is that something to be proud of?
This was the very video I needed to see, I have been pondering the new MB Air for my wife, who is the quintessential user for this hardware. You did a GREAT job presenting the information, the summary up front was precise, didn't waste any time and let me just relax and listen to the rest of the video. Nice work, you have a subscriber for the long haul!
U could fry an egg on the back of an old air probably
Ok , that is an enthusiastic review. But there are a number of reports that non-Apple bluetooth mice, such as Logitech, do not work reliably . Could you test this , please.
It’s Big Sur.
The battery life is just mind-blowing!!
However, I think they should have added the light that shows that the device is fully charged without having to open the laptop every time.
I keep reading reviews about screen cracking for no apparent reason and Apple not accepting responsibility. Have you views on this please.
It's fake
I have a 2017 Air i5... think its worth an upgrade?
Thanks in Advance.
Definitely
“This thing is stupid fast” lol
I heard that sound comparison music and now my life is complete :)
Hah, yeah I immediately looked the song up on Spotify. open.spotify.com/track/4wX3QCU2hWtuPiv8GSakrz?si=IWERufqWTMm6Z2TrczQQIQ
So this is the final video you’re gonna watch before buying it.
Finally upgrading my early 2014 Macbook Air to this M1
im using it for almost 3 months for ui design
and i have no complain
it's literally perfect for me
I have mine on order (the exact model and color), imagine my thoughts when I saw the title on this video. However this video was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks a mill.
how is your experience with the m1 so far? 🥺
Yeah how? And what model?
No Ads on a review, respect, oh and you got a very good music taste
imagine the shame felt by someone who purchased a MB air in may
I BOUGHT IT IN OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@petrepredulete5914 feel u
That's my life
You cannot buy something that did not exist only what is present.
@@marchofthelorex238Wtf the MacBook Air is next to me so I have it
I checked the UPS website on 12-10-20 and it indicates that the M1 MBA I ordered is facing a shipping delay in Shanghai, China. My hands are tied right now, but I admit my concerns are going to increase daily. If that status remains the same 7-10 days from now, I will cancel and then try to purchase the base model that I can carry out of an Apple store. Back in March, I purchased something off eBay that shipped from China ... it took 4 months to receive that item but I just will not wait anywhere near that long again. It is enormously frustrating especially when waiting for something that you really want.
hey, there is 1 advantage of over heating, it you are getting to cold, please touch the CPU to warm up lol
That’s it guys... I’m sold. Sounds like I’ll be perfectly fine with the M1 MacBook Air
@Varang Pratap Singh :/
@Varang Pratap Singh I wanna know for how much I can buy him
6:33 I got the 8 core GPU on the Air and my scores are a little above 21000 so there's a slight difference
And I've found the 8-core throttled less in a 90 minute Uningine Valley stress test. 7-core throttled 32.2% whereas the 8-core throttled 12.4%!
@@usafballer79 A lot of laptops including computers like the Core i9 MacBook Pro throttled like crazy. So for a fanless notebook that's doing this while using only 10 watts of power and performing at the same level of the Intel chips, that's actually damn good. Not all throttles are equal!
Says a lot about todays society that the “long term review” means having tried the unit for two weeks...... That should be what a normal review is about....
Thats barely long which makes this review a sham lol
the fact that the title is a bit off doesn't make the review a sham, cant argue with data lmao
Ordered mine a couple of days ago...eagerly waiting for it to arrive...i got the base M1 Air in silver....hope it holds up for the next 4 years.....
LOVE THE ENERGY AND TRANSPARENCY
Truly appreciate your review. This helped me to make a decision: switched the order from pro to air.
I'm loving my MacBook Air M1.
I’m loving my M1 MacBook Pro
Same. Very happy with my purchase
Does it make noise or get really hot? Does it sound like my ps4 taking off
Me too
@@Solicity850 it doesn’t have a fan bro
Wow... This is probably one of the best (and most useful) reviews on the M1 MacBook's I have seen yet! Thank you.
Just cancelled my 2020 M1 MacBook Pro order to get the MacBook Air M1 16gig 1 Tb , the difference in performance isn't worth it, and the better form factor and non touch keys is a bonus.
I just Bought Yesterday Mcbook m1 air I think I choose the right Laptop hehe
His Mcpro costs 15k, my dad's car costs 14k and we've been paying for it for 10 years :") I gotta get into RUclips I guess
10years for a 14k car? I got one and paying it for 4 years.
Jesus, just how much interest did your father pay on it?? Like 5k?
By far the best reviews on RUclips. You answer all the questions I had and helped me make my next purchase decision. Thank you!
“Long term review”
I'm returning mine to Apple after 4 days of use. It SUCKS.
Write speed is painfully slow, bluetooth keyboard keeps cutting out, the charger 'ping' sound keeps going off when it's plugged in, Adobe suite runs like a fucking dinosaur on it.
So f*cking disappointed
Maybe MSI or ASUS is the perfect choice for you.
