The new Apple MacBook Air M1 is here and after everyone I know has been bugging me to try it with its new M1 chipset, I gave in and bought one. So let's see how someone not using Apple's programs does in terms of battery life, photo editing, video editing, and more in this M1 MacBook Air real-world test.

1:32 while your friends have been very impressed with the performance of the new M1 MacBook Air, your workflow is probably more what the computer is actually intended for. I have had my M1 MBA for about 2 days and so far it is my favorite laptop ever.

@lorensims4846 3 года назад

Very nice 'real-world' review. I'm getting tired of seeing benchmarks and it's nice to see someone with a real appreciation for battery life. Yes, more memory is usually the better choice and I really can't wait (nor even imagine) what the next Apple Silicon machines will be like. We've got a pretty exciting couple of years ahead of us.

@lorensims4846 3 года назад

I'm also a bit tired of watching video editing demos, but this is RU-vid and the fact that you can even try to edit a video on the MacBook Air is pretty amazing.

@yellit1975 3 года назад

I think it’s a smart move for Apple to move to its own chips. Hopefully, this will encourage/force intel, etc to raise their game. I only just bought a new MacBook about 6 months ago and so it’ll be a couple of years before I need a new one. Seeing as I don’t really use a laptop on the move, I might get a Mac mini or an M series iMac.

Most people misunderstand what's great about the "unified memory" If your CPU has an integrated GPU, it already has to share the system memory with the CPU. The great thing is that it's on the SOC, and that allows both the CPU and GPU to have very fast memory speeds.

@stumys 3 года назад

I've wanted a MacBook for years and finally pulled the trigger on the M1 Air this last weekend. Since 16gb was a month and a half out, and some research I decided to just get the 8gb version (with 512gb ssd). I use it for light FCP editing and some LR and PS. I've been extremely impressed so far. It feels weird editing 4k footage and exporting out of Lightroom on a computer with just 8gb of ram when my main PC is running at 32. Needless to say, sometimes it's nice to edit a vid real quick on the couch on the little MacBook Air. No regrets here!

@brandonfarley5297 3 года назад

I think in a few years, it’s gonna crush!! And more importantly what it will force the industry as a whole to do, which is the real exciting part in my opinion. I’ll hold onto to my 2015 MacBook Air for a bit and possibly grab a 2020 13” MacBook Pro if I decide to upgrade within the next year. Apple said 2 years. But I’m guessing more like 3-4. Restructuring software architecture is time consuming. I’ve always applauded apple’s ambitious nature, even when they have fallen short at times. But moving what equivocates to a global industry at this point to shift gears is going to take time. And 2 years is well, ambitious if nothing else.

@ronmiller3741 3 года назад

Actually the unified ram is fast for a gpu. That way gpu gets large amounts of memory and cpu gets the faster gpu grade memory. Also the copying of data between the cpu and gpu takes lots of overheads which can be avoided in case of unified memory.

I have the 16” MBP for work and there are three things I don’t like about it. The battery life is okay, but nothing to be excited about as electron apps like VSCode or Slack just slurp at my battery. I actually don’t like that it has to be thicker than the 2018 15” just to be able to have decent thermals and decent performance and finally the thing is constantly over 100°F if not higher when it’s at idle. So I’m looking forward to the new M series Macs. I hope the 16” gets thinner but with multi day battery life with a 10 or 12 core CPU.
