I also made a review of the M1 MacBook Air specifically for computer science students, check it out here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yzz-3OoRU7s.html
I know this is a 2 year old video now but I'm commenting because I just picked this model up and it's life changing just how incredible this laptop is even 2 years past it's release date... Apple really knows how to design some quality products
Love this video! Especially appreciate how you mention you prefer the macbook over the ipad for most of the day, at the moment I just want one and have been trying to decide between the two! Seeing your workflow on the various iDevices was awesome!
A lovely concept you've chosen for this video - you distanced yourself from the conventional specifications presentation, but I believe you've elaborated in the quintessential aspect of using this laptop - actual function and usage! (the sporadic avocado gang seems to be content with its new technological friend!)
Hey! Just found your channel and I subbed! Love it! I just got my M1 MacBook Air with 16GB and yea. That extra 8GB really helps with editing 4K video. I can edit 4K video with no issues.
Thanks for the great video! I'm torn on which laptop to get. I want an XPS 15 for the large screen with virtually no bezels but I know the new Macbooks are much more powerful internally but the bezels are huge 🥲 apple needs to make a 16 inch bezeless Air 😆
Love the video! Did you buy the MacBook Air just to review it? If you already had a 16 inch pro wouldn't that be better for the lectures too? I personally can't wait for the apple silicon MacBook pro 16 💻
As a student myself, at the end of the day, before you plugged it in to charge, how much percentage of battery did you have? I hear it has excellent battery life, but I want to listen to it from a student's p.o.v. It's one of the essential things I'm looking for because the one I'm using now will only last 3 hours before I have to plug it in; it weighs about 5 pounds. It was great when I was doing online, but now that I'm going on campus, it is giving me shoulder pains. The video was excellent as well. Thank you!
I had a 2020 i3 MacBook Air and was going to upgrade to the m1 Air, but they were sold out everywhere. The apple stores did have the m1 pro in stock, though. Ended up going with a base model and it's a total understatement to say the difference between the i3 air and the m1 pro is night and day. i3 is fantastic for what it is while the pro just basically lets me do whatever I want without worry. The battery life is unreal, too!
Dang I have been watching so many videos about this laptop and this was honest and informational also THANK YOU for the keyboard sound I needed that and I can’t go to Best Buy to test so overall just thank you!!!!!
Interesting, what a beautiful machine! I have never used an Apple computer in my life (unless you count emulating System6 on an ST, that is, haha). They have come a long way and I really like the design and OS, but I don't think I'm going to throw any money in that company's general direction, ever. Nor microsoft's for that matter, bleh.
still patiently waiting for my macbook air(currently still processing) :( while waiting, I bought some accessories for the laptop like a keyboard and monitor lol. black friday deals were too good to pass up.
I recently spilled a bunch of water on my laptop and it’s completely DEAD. Seeing your open bottle gave me anxiety so be careful 🤣 This is gonna be my next laptop though! I’ve got $200 saved up so far. Wish me luck 🙃🥴
@@CreatedbyEllaYT Nope. Apparently I should just throw it straight in the trash. It’s a really cheap laptop but at least it worked. I definitely learned my lesson. I’m going to treat my next laptop like a baby and only use it on completely clear surfaces. 🤣 at least I have my phone!
I’m planning to buy it, but I don’t edit videos so much so shall I go with 8gb, I’ll mostly use it for online classes and watching Netflix!! So what do you recommend me 8gb or 16gb!!
@@TheCarGuy-- thank you however as a student I don’t want to have to carry around an ssd even if it is small, because the ssd will have my files on it and if I forget it then I will be screwed
Seems like a lot of people are testing 4k video editing on MacBook Air M1 8gb and works fine so I’m wondering why streaming was so hard on your system? Considering getting the 16gb but dont know if i really need it. I use office 365 and chrome and final cut.
I have both the M1 MacBook Pro and the M1 Air and I can hardly tell a different in them. Both base models. Only thing I upgraded was the memory to 512. No issues with anything I've thrown at it. I'm selling my 16in MacBook Pro because of it.
Thanks for watching! Chrome performs very well and is actually native to ARM now! Since this macbook only has 8 GB RAM, I can't have too many Chrome tabs and applications opened at the same time.
From what I heard, in the next update you will be able to use among us in full screen! Also, when your multi-tasking does the MacBook Air get very hot?
hello, I really loved your video, I have a question, I am a computer sciences master degree student and I am taking courses like machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligent, do you recommend the macbook air M1 or should I go for a pro or promax? I need it for my studies. thank you very much for your help.
8 GB would be enough if you make sure to not have too many applications opened at the same time...but I would recommend 16 GB to be safe, and so that the performance of your laptop is not limited by the RAM.
@@kayleepham9911 hi I’m a student and I have the MacBook Air 2020 without the the m1 and I’d say it depends on what you’re studying. I study Asia pacific studies with Japanese and will be adding Korean to that next academic year and 8 ram is more than enough. If you were doing something more graphic related or that relied heavily on software then I’d get the pro. I wish I waited for the m1 because the fans in mine are so loud and sound like it’s gonna take off 😭😂😂 so the m1 defo sounds like the way to go. But yeh it depends on what you’re studying xx
Hey Ella! I’m not sure if you went over this in any of your previous videos, but what do you think about the touch bar on your Macbook Pro? I’m not a function key user, but I hear a lot of people complaining that they hate the touch bar since it doesn’t give tactile feedback. I’m planning on using a macbook as a CS major, so I’m not sure if the touch bar would hinder me much.
tbh the touchbar makes very little difference for me. I almost never use function keys, so most of the time I only use the touchbar to change the volume, display brightness, and to type emojis lol 😄😅. I'd say the touchbar is nice to have, but definitely not necessary
I just got 256 gb for this macbook but I didn't intend to use it for school. I would say 512 gb is a safe choice for an incoming college student. You want to have enough space to store various files, photos, videos and be able to download all the apps that you will need!
I just want to know about some computer science related topics, I am student of this, make some videos on it please. It may be helpful for many other people also.
Hello! I'm about to be in high school in 2 months, im thinking of buying the macbook air m2 In july, what ssd and ram do you recommend?❤️🙏 (1) I'm thinking of buying 512gb ssd, and 8gb ram because i have a desktop and an ipad so i wont need to open that much tabs in only 1 device! (2) But what do you recommend because i'll be using it everyday in a science high school (3)
No, it was Final Cut Pro so it should be a native application. I think the performance of final cut was mainly limited by the lack of RAM, and not because of the M1 chip
Yes, I think 16 GB RAM would be the best choice for anyone looking to get into dev work. Even if you don't think you need that much RAM right now, I think that 16GB RAM especially helps to "futureproof" your laptop. This way, if you start doing more and more heavy work on your laptop, you won't have to worry about RAM.
Do you have a Samsung phone and a macbook? I have an android phone and considering getting a macbook but am worried that it wouldn't be easy to transfer my photos over
I also planned to get a macbook and im an android user as well😭it is possible to use google photo or drive tho to transfer but whenever i transferred mine on google drives it would take hours.
