This is true. I still have my M1 Macbook Air and can't imagine needing more than this for at least a few years. I would've considered trading and upgrading to the M2 Air but they screwed up the storage and made it too expensive to get the not crippled storage. If I upgrade anytime soon I already decided I'm getting the M1 Pro MacBook Pro with the higher core CPU and GPU.

@imperfectxennial3008 Год назад

Agreed, I got the M1 MBA as well even though the M2 was available, not only was it cheaper but because the SSD is faster.

@sloppynyuszi Год назад

After a year or two of using your tech it shouldn’t feel old. The M2 isn’t for M1 chip owning crowd.

@amitthehuman Год назад

I think it also has to do with the way they messed up the price ladder. They increased a lot of prices while making some lower tier options very bad. Those changes make people with a limited budget (that means most people) not want to climb on that ladder at all

@imolliebro Год назад

Absolutely, I bought I refurb M1 MacBook Pro when the M2s were released specifically because the M2 asked for a 30% higher price. They increased the price and are later surprised demand is lower?

Plus the M2 laptops have slower SSDs and higher prices. So what you are saying affects the budget shoppers, and the shoppers with more money or higher demands just probably cant justify paying more for the M2 when it's not always faster and IS always more expensive.

@momaw_C1-10P Год назад

Totally agree. And while maybe it's not fair when you consider discounts, I wanted the M2 Air, but by the time I upgraded the SSD and RAM to what should have been on the base model (I don't know how 512Gb and 16Gb is not the minimum these days), I could get a higher spec M1 Pro for less money. So I went the pro.

The M1 Air hits a sweet spot that's hard to beat, and you can find them relatively cheap. I paid $900 for mine, but that was only a couple months after it launched.

@aronfaine9457 Год назад

i have the base model MBP 13 M1 and despite only 8GB of RAM, it crushes 4k video editing (compared to an equivalent specced Windows machine at least) and does everything I want it to do. I got the base model because its mainly used as a really good everyday machine, but if I need to do some heavy lifting, its able to do it too. The biggest issue is only 256GB of storage, and it not being upgrade-able. But, such is Apple. Its also good to remember, Apple slowed down old phones *with bad batteries*, not just any old phone to entice you to get a new one. They were shady about it, but it had a legitimate reason.

But then my work changed and I had to do more heavy coding and video editing work so I decided to stick with the Air but get a proper workhorse of a machine.

Even with just 8GB of RAM, I don't see myself buying a new laptop in the next 5 years.

@josechomali Год назад

Probably M3 will partially fix the lack of linear performance upgrade when duplicating the chip cores with higher models, and that’s why a mac pro won’t release until then. Otherwise, the extra price for a bigger chip than the Ultra won’t justify by any means.

@jurajchobot Год назад

It's mostly the fact you can't sell the M1 Macs because the data can't be wiped. Many people already want M2 but they can't buy it because throwing away the old M1 would create a lot of waste, so they will have to keep it for years and years despite really wanting to upgrade to a new model.

The only exception I see to this is the M2 Mac mini. Mainly because it dropped in price over the M1. Yes, the r/w speed is slower for huge files, but dropping 100 across the board (and with sales, really 200 for 512 version) , it's still great.

Other than that, it still surprises me at how fast it loads things! It’s just hard for me to find a reason to upgrade from my M1 MBA when it’s still a beast. It can do exactly 80-90% of what the M2 version does, just in a smaller body. If the M3 MBA is amazing (and worth it) and if I’m willing to upgrade by then, it’ll be nice. But it is safe to say that I’ll definitely be keeping my M1 MBA for at least 2-3 more years from now.

Thanks for the feedback. However, I recommend the M2 MacBook Air to be better future proofed and the newer design. Not to mention gaining more ports with the reintroduced MagSafe.

@larsfromaustria Год назад

I really wanted to either get the M2 Air or M1 or M2 Pro but the prices in Europe for these machines are just insane, especially if you are looking for a bit of an upgrade. Gonna be sticking with my M1 Air for quite some time still.

For the mac pro subject, i wonder, since the Apple silicon chips are arm based, is there actually a way to plug a gpu in it? I mean, does the chip have the necessary instructions set to be able to support a gpu? Idk, i might say something dumb, please correct me if I'm wrong but i don' t see a case of a solid arm pc supporting a modular gpu, it' s always the integrated graphics. The most obvious path in this scenario would be for apple to build their own high performance graphics card into the chip or implement the necessary instructions in a new chip revision.

I have an 16" MCP M1 Pro and I do light video editing and some browsing. I really just wanted a 16" Apple laptop and the beautiful display. I don't see myself upgrading for like 5 years bare minimum. It's overkill now and I feel like it'll be overkill in 5 years too.

@svenmify Год назад

I have an m1 MacBook Pro, but did get an m2. Mostly because I wanted more ram anyway and figured I’d just get something as powerful as possible. I rarely use all this power, but sometimes I do intensive tasks, and when I do, I want them to be as fast as possible. Still using the m1 too, it’s my music studio computer, and the m2 max is my workhorse. Obviously overkill for most use cases, but for those of us that often use Photoshop and Illustrator and After Effects and Unity and have several batch processes running (and hundreds of tabs), all at the same time, it’s pretty good!

As long as you do NOT have the touchbar. I was so happy with my M1 Macbook Pro until recently, after warranty expired, it started to flash. Sometimes it's off but for the most part, it's on. I am glad, I have an external display, so therefore it does not bother me that much. It is still an issue no one really knows why it started to happen and how to stop it. I have tried almost everything but so far, no solution.

@ananyanarayandhanabalan Год назад

I think it depends on the system you were using earlier as well... I went from a 2020 Intel Macbook Pro to a 22 M2 Macbook Air. While I did consider the M1 Macbooks as well the really great ones (M1 Ultra and M1 Max) were more expensive than the M2 Air. M2 Air also has a better screen, speakers, and camera. I was also taken with the Magsafe charger the M2 came with instead of the thunderbolt charger of the M1. I think if budget isn't a concern then M1 Mac pros are definitely the way to go as M2 pros are just far too expensive for essentially the same system, but the M2 air is definitely worth the $200 extra from the M1 Air IMO. However, as I said before, this is heavily dependent on the system you are currently using. Going from 2020 Intel to M2 Apple silicon was AMAZING for me personally, but if you already have M1 Apple silicon then the jump is mostly not worth making right now. The M1 can hold at least for a couple more years.

I went from a 2020 Intel Macbook Air to a M2 Mac Mini Pro.... the biggest increase in performance I have ever seen, upgrading a Mac. staggering really...

@MannyRataul 10 месяцев назад

I purchased the M1 back in 2020 with upgrades to the ram and SSD. I just recently picked up the M2 15" Air and honestly the performance difference is negligible, especially in day-to-day use. Apple created an amazing laptop but also cannibalized its M2 MacBook Air sales in the process, a loss for Apple but a win for us consumers.

@prplwzrd1720 Год назад

its been about 3-4 years since getting my last MacBook Pro and I'm really starting to consider other options as Macs don't supply the amount of gpu power that id need while working for me to consider them right now. Unless this next event truly blows me away I'm highly unlikely to get a MacBook.

@ShayGamerD3 Год назад

Not only M1 was really good, but also cheaper. Also, macs are prohibitively expensive in many countries outside the U.S.: e.g., they cost as much as twice as more as PC laptop with similar specs where I live. Apple "tax" is becoming insane in some places.

@CommodoreFan64 Год назад

It really is not that much different here in the US, as Apple has almost always been the more expensive offering here, when you can get a machine for 1/2 to 3/4 cost of an Apple that can do the same things. In fact overall computers made in the past decade, or so have been so good that with a RAM, SSD, and maybe a GPU upgrade if you're running a desktop, they can still do the vast majority of what people need to do with a computer for daily task just fine. Lastly let us not forget the economy is in the dumps right now in so many places of the world, that a new computer is one of the last things people are thinking about right now compared how the hell am I going to pay for these groceries that have nearly doubled in price, and still pay my other bills!!

@tomdfrog Год назад

oddly when I shop and really compare tit for tat, the PC and Mac come out about they same. Sure, there are lots of PCs out with skimped on specs which cost less. But they do so because of the skimped on specs. I buy old Macs and with BootCamp, deploy them as PCs. Why, because they run for YEARS. My oldest units are from 2008 (having just retired my 2006 models). Yes, there have been some upgrades along the way. No PC I have bought (or that my friends have bought) have run 24/7 for over a decade without any issue. The PCs always fry themselves. Powersupply fails, fans fail, stuff melts. Not the Macs. They just run and run and run. Every 5-7 years, I replace the SSD. Currently these new M1/M2 seem super fast for Video production from all the review videos. The M1 Max machines we have bought or not remarkably faster than our older i7 machines with our day to day Creative Cloud work. Most the boost is in read/write of files. So, we have held off on buying anymore. The exorbitant SSD/Memory pricing plays into that. Also, the fact that the MacPro and Studio still languish with outdated hardware.

@earnistse4899 Год назад

M1 air is STILL the best price/performance laptop on the market almost 3 years after it’s release day. It’s regularly 799 at Amazon and Best Buy and the M1 chip is still super fast and efficient. Other laptop manufacturers can’t offer an 800 dollar machine with that kind of battery life and performance.

@nyanko2077 Год назад

The same here. Using the M1 max and I see no reason to upgrade yet. Will see what M3 max brings to the table next year. If it doubles the battery life, might consider it.

@Travisharger Год назад

@evroadtrips689 Год назад

Apple needs to do a 24 to 36 month refresh cycle on the new Mac's. They are too expensive to upgrade every year.

@JoshSher_ Год назад

The ridiculous thing is, that the improvement from the M1 to the M2 is actually very big, compared to what you would see during intel times(correct me if I’m wrong). I thought it would be way less than that. So yes, the problem is really not that they were lazy after revolutionizing the industry. They actually innovated on they’re innovation, but M1 is just too good for most users to have any wishes left 🤯 M2 was the first time when I didn’t think “wow! I need that new MacBook”, it was more like “Ah amazing! But I’m fine”😂

@benwaardenburg Год назад

One thing I think people are missing with the Mac Pro was the PCI slots for music production. I would recmmend checking out Neil Parfitt and how he uses the Mac Pro to replace two trash can Mac Pros. He uses all the PCI slots to run very specific audio gear from Avid and the like. He uses the base GPU and the rest of the machine is basically filled with Avid cards and some other stuff. This is what Apple is missing, the professionals who have very specific hardware that integrates with Mac hardware.

It's so insane haha. I used my MacBook Pro late 2012 till 2022. Yes it was frustrating the last years but i never needed really a lot of computing power. Then i got the chance to sell my 10 year old Macbook still for 180€ so i switched to an 14" MacBook Pro wit the M1 Pro. For me, it's such an quantum jump. I still see myself using this one for again 10 Years +. I never head even a little bit that feeling/fear of missing out with the updated version of the MacBook Pro M2's. Assuming, the M1 Architecture (Memory-Swap) don't kills my SSD's TBW lifespan too early. If Apple really is into sustainability they should extend the individual lifecycle of a MacBook lets say for total in two years until a new generation pops out. Free resources can be invested into better UX.
