based on the B-roll in this video Andres seems to be in Montreal, Canada, where USD $1 is CAD $1.35. So his CAD $999 pricing corresponds to USD $736. Here in Canada we are always getting screwed on exchange rate by Apple, we should be paying a little less than CAD $999 for the base model M1 Air.
People please don't upgrade the SSD over the RAM if you're limited on budget. You can always buy an external SSD that is as fast as the internal storage, and for much cheaper. The SanDisk Professional 1TB PRO-G40 SSD for example is even faster than the internal storage, and you get 1TB for the price of adding an additional 256 GB of internal storage on the MacBook Air. However you'll be memory swapping with 8GB of RAM if you do anything else than light multi-tasking.
I picked up the base model 15” m3 MacBook Air to review for students, but I one thing I can definitely agree with you that 512gb ssd and 16gb of ram should be the bare minimum 😅🙌🏻
@@marucsreynolds459 it would be better if Apple delayed the next processor generation - M4 by a year, and instead up the standard to 16GB RAM/512GB SSD. I think they would sell a lot more laptops period - Airs and Pros, if the base memory and storage were better because people would buy them as second machines. However, they're still making loads of money, so they are unlikely to change.
My dude, the annual laptop refreshes aren’t meant for people to upgrade their laptops every single year. It’s for the people who are due for an upgrade, they can get the latest and greatest. It’s not for the M2 air owners to buy an M3.
Great video. What type of lights did you use in the beginning of this video. You placed a long tubular type of light on top of a rack above your desk. Thanks for the time you put into this video.
Andres, with so many MacBooks on your table while comparing them, you could add captions to show which models you are showing. It can be hard for non English speakers to follow thru the speed of the video. Think about adding a frame with a comparison table. As always, great video!
I switch from intel MacBook Pro 15" to M2 13" Air 512GB and is been amazing experience. I don't hear the fans anymore, battery life is been amazing, super easy to carrie around the house and performance for the work flow of lite video editing with Final Cut Pro and web browsing is been a perfect machine.
Last week I picked up a refurbished MacBook Air M2. It has 24 GB RAM, and 1TB of ssd, which was hard to find, but I got lucky! Got it for a good price too. I think the M2 Air is a great option because you can spend less money than on an M3, and get a solid performance improvement over the M1, and still pretty close to the performance of an M3.
M2 MBA user here. I have the base model but it totally perfect for my workflow you have made the best move the difference between the M2 and the M3 doesn´t worth the upgrade. you can wait until the M5 or M6 if not M7. If you have a M1 it is another story. I am looking for a M1 Pro MBP for now the prices begin to be quite interesting.
@@nicolasb.henry294 yeah I'm considering the M1 Pro too, do you think the performance is still better than M3 and will go in next 3-4 years? (I'm just a unistudent)
@@quyenuc8887 The M1 pro chip is still powerful enough for 3 or 4 years and the M3 Pro is above a lot of budget especially if you are a student the base M1 Pro 14"" is more thsn enough
@@andresvidoza Yeah. unless you are dealing with super high rez footage and doing a lot of magic masking, the air is fine. The Max configurations however are beastly.
As always, insanely well shot! Your intro question though, I couldn't agree more. A yearly release of Macs is just not sustainable and it's far too much for so little a jump. 2 years between M chip release is a great model to go with for now on I'd think
Switched from the 16 inch M1 Max Pro to the 15 inch M2 Air. Only looked back at the 120hz display and battery life. Portability of the Air is just awesome, performance is more than good enough for my work (software development).
I bought my MacBook Air M1 last year and as a first-time MacBook owner, I am greatly impressed. Your videos were part of my research - they were really helpful. Also, how did you come to choose the name Anke, for your media company? The sign looks awesome.
I understand your concern regarding the price increase when upgrading to the Air M3, as it gets very close to the cost of the 14-inch model. It might be worth considering last year's model instead.
What is the name of the tube light that you lifted with two hands and put on the top of the rack? I looked for it in the description but if it’s there, I missed it. Thanks. It may be in the Aputure Store but I couldn’t find it.
Superb video! Think I'm getting the 16gb 512gb of memory. Was thinking about 250gb of memory and an external ssd but.. more things to carry around idk.
Nice video I am watching this from my Base M2 MBA and it fits perfectly my workflow and complete my iMac. I also love the Air for its lightness and power. You can work almost everywhere with this machine. I think my next machine will be am M4 or M5 but an Air series with 16gb. The diffrences now between the Air and the base Pro are so tight the upgrade worth is you go to M Pro or M max chips. But those Air are definitely the best laptops ever made especially for creatives.. Just for info this base M2 MBA performs better than my. 16gb 512 SSD Hp elite book 840 in fact it totally kills it.
Hello, I am a computer science student and I am entering my final 2 years of university, but I need to change my PC fairly quickly. However, I'm not sure which MacBook Air to choose between the M1, M2, or M3, and I'm undecided on whether to go for a base model or one with more RAM and storage for my development tools (Eclipse/IntelliJ, VSCode, Docker, Android Studio, etc.). Also, considering that I will keep it for at least 3 years.
Long live the M1 MBA. My first MacBook. It’s still going strong after 4 years. Great battery life and just a joy to use. I wish I got 16gb of ram, rookie mistake.
I agree with you. Base models with 8Gb of RAM and 256Gb SSD will be hard to keep up its power over the years and to sustain a user more powerful demand change. I prefer to bump the memory up. And use a fast external SSD drive if I need more storage. I hope Apple finally bumps all base models to 16Gb of RAM soon. My personal current Mac is a M2 Pro 14” with 32Gb of RAM and 512Gb SSD. I am sure it will hold well during 5 years use easily.
I honestly got the m1 air at incredible for like R16000 or about 875$ brand new and it is going very good I love the laptop and it was my best purchase ever
I own the Macbook Pro M1 in 16 inches and the Macbook Air M2 in 13 inches. Currently I use the Air almost 90% of the time. The reason is because it is extremely handy and even better than that (14 inch MB Pro) and it is simply fun to use. Definitely the picture, sound and performance of the Pro is better, but should that be the reason to choose it over the Air? I only use the Pro when I need the performance or I want to see HDR content. The only thing I really miss about the Air is the SD card slot. Ps. the color midnight is awesome and if like me you don't have sweaty hands you should choose this color.
I own the Macbook Pro M1 in 16 inches and I am tired of lugging it around. I feel bad for trading in my Macbook Air for my 16 inch, but am now saving up to get a Macbook Air again so I can have one I can carry with me and the 16 inch at home for more serious work. Glad to know your experience as it confirms what I have been thinking along. I really need the Air more. What is your spec for your Air? I'm thinking of getting only the base model, as I have the 16 inch anyway. For the base model, I'm thinking of only using it for writing and some light graphic design. As for the color, I'm thinking of getting the starlight color. Doesn't the midnight color chip the color away eventually -- and easier to spot the change in color when it gets worn out?
@@denniszenanywhere The performance of the M1 16 Pro is significantly better than that of the M2 13 Air. I have the Air with the basic configuration. Using the Air is much more fun, I'm currently traveling in Barcelona and you don't notice the weight. I wanted to edit a few pictures now, it works, but there's no comparison to the Pro and I'll wait until I get home. If you work with it a lot when you're on the go (more complex work), then it's better to go with the 14 Pro or the Air with more specifications (16 GB RAM). But the Air is easily sufficient for 90% and is also significantly lighter than the 14 Pro. There has been no negative change in the color so far. A friend of mine has Starlight, also a very nice color and even less vulnerable.

if you want it to last it can last, but it really also depends on your major and interests if you are into video editing or plan to get into it or really want to try out machine learning and all then you might see some throttling later on, other than that just make sure you get external ssds for storage if you are going for the base storage
I got a MacBook Air M1 with 512gb it works good, good for video editing and battery last a good while a full whole day!! even till the next day. I recommend people get an upgraded M1
I feel they should take their time and innovate a lil more with all there products including the iPhones the watches iPads and the Mac’s … I agree .. the upgrades are becoming minimal.. not worth the upgrade every year !!!
Releasing them every year isn't about continually exciting you personally. It'a about keeping them up to date so that if someone is spending money on it they're getting an up to date machine.
The MacBook Air M1 are removed from Apple’s website but they are now being sold at Walmart for $699 as part of an agreement from Apple.
I have now a MacBook Air m1 , but I consider to go for a MacBook Pro M1 Max , because of the power and storage...
