I’m impressed so far!! - Apple M1 MacBook Air 

Correction Note: Whoops, Linus meant Mac Mini, not Macbook Mini at 0:57

OBS Project team member here! Flattering that the first thing you think of trying on the M1 is us :) We're working towards full native ARM support, there's parts (all right now?) that are just emulated, but seem to work ok. Also, the CPU usage listed in OBS is in the context of the process itself, and not the whole system. It's... a bad metric, honestly, I wouldn't use it for any kind of real benchmarking as it's fairly arbitrary.

can't believe he didn't go for the actual air joke and poke at the fact that it's fanless

"They should call it the Macbook Success" ...Didn't they try that with the iPhone 6S already?

2:15 Andy: Is that a charger? Linus: Yeah its a charger man. What a concept.

Now you just have to add the _Intel not Inside_ sticker, to make it complete.

LTT Store needs to make a "Whatever.. I'm Canadian" linus tshirt.

You can tell it's a PC user when using two hands on the trackpad :)

Watch a man suffer in denial for 12 minutes

Friendly note, the same behaviour as option-clicking the green button is achieved by double clicking the title bar

The joke he should have said was “why do they call it a macbook air when there is no fan”

I'm surprised Linus doesn't know that double clicking the top of a window makes it full-size.

The “drag to install” option allows you to start an application without installing it. You don’t have to copy it to applications first. It’s a nice feature sometimes.

Her dad: so what do you do for a living? Boyfriend: Sir, I'm a professional sticker putter

Linus: "Anthony said its pretty good!" Me: Ok, next video!

I feel like I just watched Linus whine for almost 12 minutes straight.

Apple: *Achieves world peace* Linus: But it was so unnecessary!!!

Watching Linus work a Mac is one of the most boomer experiences I've ever had.

0:59 did i hear that correctly "macbook mini"

linus was really about to shred that install before Andy reminded him of "Next->Next->Install->Next->Finish->Yes"

I think the advantage of the drag system instead of the double click feature is to prevent accidental installs! I mean, it's easy to accidentally click 'ok' or 'cancel' but you can't accidentally drag something..

Ironically, the Macbook Air doesn't have a fan

He's like a dorky Canadian Conor McGregor complaining about how he lost a fight.

This was painful to watch! Linus looked like he was in pain the whole time and never smiled or acted anything like his normal behavior. If this product would’ve been from a different company I have a feeling he would’ve been a little more upbeat with a more typical high energy review…

Watching Linus try to use macOS is like watching iJustine try to use Linux..

The reason why you have to drag applications into a folder is because it literally isn't an installer at all. Applications on macOS are literally just directories you dump into a folder, and the .DMG you open is just a disk image with the directory in it and a shortcut for convenience. Want it on a USB stick? Drag it to a USB stick. Don't want the application anymore? Toss it in the trash, it's gone. You can have proper installers on macOS but that gets rid of the benefit of macOS's more isolated application packaging. On Windows, you need installers, because Windows doesn't provide an easy way to package applications at all. Furthermore, those installers often need to install dependencies into your Windows system (DirectX runtimes are notorious for this). This makes "uninstallation" a nebulous and tricky concept as Windows does not keep track of what files are part of which applications. Applications have to ship their own uninstallers to do that for Windows, and there are shared dependencies that Windows doesn't reference count, so you can't ever safely uninstall them lest applications you installed afterwards break. (I really like how Linux gets around this with package managers and the kinds of curation you can only do when your software ecosystem is all Free Software. This still requires you to actually use an installer, but the installer is actually smart enough to manage your entire system, and it's *part* of your system. Packages are just archives and the installer tracks what files go where. It also tracks dependencies, so if you uninstall an app, the OS can actually tell what can safely go away with it. It even handles core OS updates with the same mechanism!)

The reason you need to drag the application to the Applications Folder Shortcut in that small window is because on a Mac the program is contained inside a file that acts like a virtual drive. The application is then copied from the virtual drive to the Applications Folder and is then installed. If it was to be made simpler by having it install on click then the file would have to be executable from the get-go, which I believe is against the Macintosh Operating System. Even so, some applications you can download as a package and the package runs a setup wizard just like Windows where you have to select the installation location and agree to all the steps and keep on clicking Next, Next, Next, etc. which is more tedious than that drag and drop feature. At the end of the day its a small ask to drag the application to the Applications Folder Shortcut. Hope this helps Linus, and anyone else who read it.

Why you have to drag apps to the folder to install: You can actually run many apps off the disk image without saving them to your computer which is very handy.

Alternate Title: Linus getting pissed at MacOS for 11 minutes

2015 Benchmark: But can it run crisis? 2020 Benchmark: But can it run google Earth?

Five minutes of this video is Linus yelling at Mac OS to get off his lawn, lol...

Picked up one of these (the base model) last night and initial impressions are good... The battery truly does last forever. First time back on Mac in nearly a decade and man it feels like it hasn't changed a bit haha Got it for $900 since I had to wait an hour for Best Buy's curbside pickup. Still love you BB

*0:58** “Lesser than the MacBook Mini”, the what lol*

Can't wait to see Linus' face when he actually tests this thing.

Is the title changed? Yesterday was "I don't know how to use the Macbook Air"

It’s like he has never seen a computer before.

This is actually something for students who constantly use Office products. Battery life on notebooks with small sizes were always a issue especially if you work more than 8 hours in a high school.

I just realized that they nailed this format, short circuit the quick and dirty explanation of something and then an in depth dive on LTT

Im at 4:18 so far and damn Linus, you’re trying hard to trash talk wherever you can 😄

5:53 When I switched to MacOS (one year ago) I had the same issue. It isn't bad, it is not like windows. Once you get used to it multitasking will get so much faster. I can't live without it now.

Ungelled hair, bearded Linus looks like such a massive CHAD. I hope we keep Chad Linus forever.

The application install makes sense Linus: 1. That way you can easily tell your users that the app is installed in that directory 2. If the user wants to install it in another directory, he can just drag it anywhere else. It is a graphical version of the "default install location" option on windows app installers

"The vast majority of people pretty much just use their laptop like a Chromebook anyway..." FINALLY this dude says something I actually agree with. People are happy with these devices because the average person isn't compiling code, rendering video, or down mixing 120 tracks on Logic. They're loading up chrome and putting up a gmail tab, Facebook tab, twitter tab, Netflix, RU-vid, and other regular people stuff.

I would behave the same when I got my first Macbook as a Windows user for like 20 years. It took me a year to get used to a MacOS and now I like it more than Windows.

I don't mind the move to ARM chips, at least all of the people sat next to me in the library wont have their macbook fans ramped up to the maximum while they're typing on Microsoft Word. They wont be fighting over power outlets either, I see this as an absolute win for PC laptop owners.

You're just downloading a disk image and then drop the application itself completly into the programs folder. That's it. One of the best installationprocesses ever.

This is the exact config I was planning to go for. Thanks! Was tired of reviewers using the base model for all comparisonsz

I love the fact they didn't ditch the function keys but added the fingerprint button. Love it on my MB Pro 2017 bc i use an App for all my passwords. This new generation is a serious contender as my next purchase

i prefer the drag and drop experience vs the *.msi "agree next next next next next install finish" nonsence... 1 app containing all files already installed vs hundreds of folders all sprayed out across the system

They way Linus uses the trackpad gives anxiety

It would be interesting to see how much advantage the higher spec machine provides over the base model.

@Linus the reason for dragging the app is that it's much easier to put this certain app to an external folder. It's not really an installation which writes itself into the OS. But real installations are often used by larger programs.

"Hey, whatever I'm Canadian" - Canadian

Linus: "lol I'm a professional sticker putter onner now" Me who actually put stickers on things as a job: *"🙁harsh life decision reflections"*

Holy cow, Option + Green Button.. You learn something new everyday.

Come on Linus, I've never heard you whine about MacOS this much in years.

In 2012, I joked with my co-worker that we needed a MacPad, and we are now almost there.

"I'll leave it to Anthony to try out some random stuff." ~Linus, LTT store ambassador.

alternate video title: "old man grouchy over new computer, about as expected - MAYBE MORE!"

The installation has this process because sometimes there are other files and/or instructions seperated from the app itself. In that case, you will see 2, 3, 4 icons, maybe one of them is a README, maybe one of them is a supplementary piece of software or extension software that you may/may not necessarily need. Lots of times there is only this one icon for the entire .app package for you to drag to the applications folder, so if you haven't been using it for a while you will not be able to understand why this is the case. This provides the users with a chance to select software that you need.

Whenever I watch a video where Linus reviews an Apple product, It reminds me of my Math Teacher who hated me religiously and always found mistakes even if there wasn't any scope of finding them.

Why did I think that when Linus shushed the Macbook, it was Obiwan sushing General Grevious?

i think the point of having to drag the app into the app folder is so that you dont have to actually"install" the app to use it, you can open it and see if you want it, then add it to your library after.

Really enjoyed Andy chipping in here and there! I quite like ShortCircuit with the back and forth between the host and the camera guy

Tell Anthony to finish his review on M1 mac mini and upload it now.

Linus, for the Macbook Pro vid, can you guys do some showcase of audio workflow in Logic Pro with some processor and RAM heavy plugins. My studio uses the 2018 refresh of the 13 inch Macbook Pro for remote recording. That is the kind of workload that I think would be a good showcase for the new chipset.

Finally i know how to maximize a window in mac !!!! Thanks Linus !!! ( option + green button )

Was wondering how much GB is the total Os system taking up the ssd with this new m1 ?

I hope someone who is familiar to macOS reviews the new hardware, cuz Linus doesn't give a damn.

Meanwhile: You can literally fly from Brazil to the US and buy TWO of those, and that (including the flight tickets) would still be cheaper than the same MacBook air bought from Apple in Brazil (R$12 999,99)

I appreciate the fact you did an unboxing. And didnt just jump into the review

Thank you! I cant unhear the ‚error‘ now any more...

Linus, stop reading the comments and go eat some snacks. you are hungry.

That move into folder installation process helps with UX. This way people see that their installed software will be in the "Applications" folder. On windows it's the default uri and that folder is "hidden" in a folder structure nobody(normal) will open, ever. The "program files" and "program files(x86)" are confusing - and even more confusing in other languages.

Linus went from "meh" to "woah" in two title changes

is touchscreen but a mere compensation for lack of quality touchpad? Idk, never had any desire to spread grease over the screen

Instead of the "Intel Inside" sticker, it must have a "Anthony says "It's pretty cool!!" sticker... Technically the later sticker is more valid...

What would really take the MacBook air to the next level would be to add a touchscreen as Linus says, but also make the screen detachable from the keyboard so it can be either a full blown laptop or a full blown tablet.

can you also do a render test with it against the compensator, or an amd 3950x machine? just curious to where it stands against a high end machine.

Dragging+dropping an app to install is a pain according to Linus. I guess he's still pissed after the Johnathan Morisson's YOU ARE WRONG video.

Regarding the application install process on macOS, something that is quite nice in comparison to Linux or Windows is how easy it is to try out an app. You don't have to install it but can just run it. And if you like it drag it into the Applications folder and you're set. To be honest, the way Windows handles software installation seems to be the worst of all of them, but maybe that's just my opinion.

5:42 You can swap it in system preferences or double click near the top. Magnet is a great app to bring Windows style window management to Mac OS.

I’m honestly so interested to see what the desktops and next Mac Pro are like, where the power comes from the wall and the heat goes everywhere. That’ll be somethin to see with how these already are.

I think in 3 - 4 years time, Apple will find a way to integrate the SSD along with the SoC.

I've never been so fast to click on this video besides waiting for Intel to transition from 14nm to 7nm

he sounds so sleepy in this video compared to how he usually was before the beard! and the voice is deeper

Having a lot of issues with my M1 Mini and the Magic Mouse 2 not working well. Lots of connection issues.

People in the future will say *IS THAT A CHARGER?!!* like how they’re saying *IS THAT A SUPRA?!!* right now.

Missed a chance a to say. " Official Sticker sticker".

This is the most burnt out I've ever seen Linus.....

how about for longevity esp when they update their chip? is it better if i buy the base product and change it after 2 yrs? or what is best to buy now that would last me at least 5yrs? i tend to keep my laptop until it dies, esp now that mine broke 2 months ago. i really need one. cant decide what to get. i tend to be in my laptop for many hours web surfing, streaming,download, school stuff, play games all at the same time. (i tend to change what i do a lot depending when im bored). i also like to learn how to edit clips and learn how to code. what is better for me in terms of RAM,Memory, Air or pro? thank u

I don’t know maybe this is a tutorial how NOT to use an Apple product 🤣

Even Linus can’t help but “ahhhhh” when he lifts the Mac out of the box. Also, homebrew for installs direct from the command line

5:40 Instead of doing that, you can just double click on the area on top of the window (where you can drag the entire application window) and it does the exactly same thing.

The Macbook Air is nice, but I've bought an M1 Macbook Pro, I like the touch bar, and the longer battery life. I've used a mid 2012 11" Macbook Air for yeeears, and then it stopped working. I'm so glad I was able to get the M1 version, and it was sooo damn hard to find one, I just love it.

Last time I was this early intel was still on top

Ironically the new MacBook Air is now the only MacBook Apple sells, that has NO air flowing inside (due to lack of fan).

So is it really 6x faster over the 3x of the previous 50% increase of the 2x?

my use case is to run OBS alongside 10 chrome tabs running 24*7. is this macbook m1 air base model suitable for me ? 1) Am i going to regret not having fans sometimes in future ? 2) is this 8 gig ram enough to handle these 10-15 tabs with OBS without burning my thighs/Lap while planning to use this for Long Hours.. i really don't have any other use case otherthan those 10-15 chrome tabs and obs studio... running 24*7 - 24*6 Need Legit advice only please...

To be honest, Linus looking clueless using MacOS is all of us Windows types.
