You asked so many times about Swap Memory and if you should get 8GB or 16GB for the M1 Macbook Air and M1 Macbook Pro so I answer this right now!
FYI: This video was edited on the Base M1 Macbook Pro (8GB)
I have lots of test coming out over the next week so stay subscribed as I will be pushing the 8GB M1 Macbooks and show you how they perform in the Real World.

That was a very informative video demystifying the concerns about swap memory, and highlighting instances when it legitimately might be negatively impactful on the useful life span of the fast M1 SSD. You certainly helped me out and for that you have my gratitude.

check out my newest video one this on my channel where I tell everyone what really going on here and tho I will tend to agree with 16 gigs of ram as you seen in this video he had 8 and using 6.69 and he is into using swap when is not possible until you have used up all built in memeory so this seems to be a Big Sur issue as I run monetary and my air has 8 and my mini has 16 and neither one ever attempts to use swap at all also you should no matter what limit how many programs you run at a time as this affects ram usage as well as the pontentioal for swap to be used how ever Big Sur either way seems to just go after swap and it shouldn't until its really needed I go into detail on this in my video and I have other videos as well talking about other related stuff as well..

Great video. I think it’s important to remember that it really boils down to YOU and your laptop usage. I’ve bought the 8GB RAM model of the Pro with 256GB SSD, and its performance is fantastic. I think you’re going to have to really push your Mac to its limits to notice a significant decrease in performance. The new M1 and unified memory is amazing. Go with what you can afford and don’t be bought into paying more just because someone online told you. Of course, if you’re going to use the MacBook heavily then maybe consider your options but enjoy the machine you’ve purchased and stop stressing if it is the right choice. If it turns out you need more then hopefully if money allows you could sell it in the future and purchase a higher spec one.

Exactly what I was looking for. Framing your opinion around your workload really help in the decision making process. For those 5% that have have a workflow above what you describe, 16Gb clearly the way to go. For the rest of us mere mortals that kill time surfing the net, enjoying media content, and dabbling in GoPro vids of the kids falling off their bikes / paddles boards etc, it sounds like the 8Gb will be good for years to come. I’d only be upgrading to ‘future proof’ as many other have stated on various threads, but from what you’re saying 8Gb with this M1 set up is good to last for average users...? Another sub... :)

There are two ways you can avoid SSD wear. The first one, that you mention, is to get more RAM so the SSD is used less to swap RAM content to the SSD when the memory is full (which happens when you have a lot of programs open at the same time, lots of tabs open in your navigator, or on some heavy graphical workloads). The second way is to get a larger SSD without increasing the amount of RAM. This way, the wear will be spread on the larger SSD. Doubling the size of the SSD also doubles the time before the device's wear becomes a problem. It can actually be more effective that doubling the amount of RAM, it depends on your typical workload. By doubling the SSD's effective lifetime, you push it so far in the future (maybe 20 years), that it will never be a problem. If your budget is constrained, it may be that opting for the larger SSD instead of the larger RAM is a better deal for you. It's obvious that 256GB of SSD is probably insufficient if you intend to store your personal photos and videos on the computer. So if you need and purchase more storage, it's important to understand that this will also help with reducing the effects of SSD wear. For many people, this may the best option, better than getting more RAM. I have ordered the 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD model anyway, because I know this computer will have a very long useful life. I think it will still be perfectly usable in 8 years from now (at which point Apple will not provide OS updates for it). I'm not going to use it for 8 years, but in 3 or 4 years, when I want to switch to a better model, I know I will be able to sell this 16GB/1TB baby. Will you be able to resell your 8GB/256GB? It will be much harder, because they will be under-powered at that point, and because the resell market will have too many of them. That's a good $200 difference in resell value, at least. Think about it.

I’ve watched lots of videos on this and this is by far the most informative and accurate I’ve seen. The people who just want to see 16gb in the system information will pay the extra but this video says it all, you just don’t need to spend the extra. Anyone who would seriously use 16gb memory probably wouldn’t be looking at this device and will be waiting for a m1 16 inch anyway. I’ve got the 8gb pro and it outperforms my 2020 i5 16gb in every way. I’m selling my 16gb and replacing it with a 8gb m1. People need to see this is a new way of working and get used to the specs on paper being lower. Very much like iPhone vs Android, on paper iPhone have almost half the memory of the other phones but perform better and multitask better,

You will totally be fine with 8gb. I have 8gb too my mini and 32 on my pc and 16 on my Mac laptop. Guess what... they all use swap. This video has been pretty honest but the fear mongering on swap ram is ridiculous right now on RU-vid. You would have to write literally the full SSD everyday for half a decade before it would fail. The only reason to get more RAM is for speed in Ram intensive tasks but I have yet to experience such a task so far.

Thanks for this. I own quite a powerful desktop but I'm planning on replacing it with the new M1 MacBook air for something a bit more portable. Most reviews I've seen have been people saying thier 8gb model is breezing through every task yet insisting people get 16gb. If the laptop lasts between 5 and 6 years I'd be very happy :)

@@worod1042 I got the 8gb. I'm coming from a hackintosh with 24gb of ram and my logic x projects are running perfectly fine. I was worried to begin with because I was experiencing severe CPU spikes but they were actually being caused by 2 incompatible plugins and not the actual power of the Mac mini. Once I removed them it plays my projects with very little effort

This is the best video I’ve seen about the 8GB vs 16GB RAM. You explain it really clearly in such a short video, thank you! :) I have watched like a 100 videos by now and I’ve decided I only need 8GBs and the base 256GB storage is fine to me because I’m familiar working with external SSD’s and using the cloud. But I’m still not 100% sure about the Air vs Pro. At most, I do 4K video editing in Davinci Resolve on like 10-15 minute projects with significant color grading, effects and multiple layers. I do not care so much about render times, but I would like a smooth editing experience with as much smooth playback as possible. Does the performance gap of the base 13 inch MBP compared to the base 13 inch MBA because of the extra GPU-core and better thermal performance make much of a difference in this use case? I would really like to know.

No problem and you will love that machine, I've been editing on the pro now and it's so nice, better than my high end Intel 13" MacBook 2020, which I paid £500 more for like 4 months ago lol people still complain about performance even though this out performs a more expensive MacBook Pro that apple released 5 months ago! This is a huge jump in performance and thermals

Hi. What are your thoughts on MacBook Air M1 8gb vs 16gb when using Logic Pro X rather than for video editing? Although it’s not really for professional use, I do consider myself a more proficient user and include plugins such as Amplitube and BigBang drums and would want this more longevity as mentioned in your video here (I’m essentially replacing my iMac 2011 version!). Thanks

I got the base model MacBook Air and this thing is RIDICULOUS!! I haven’t seen any issues and I’m coming from a Surface Laptop 3 with a Core i7 and 16g of RAM. Not seeing any limitations and it stays cooler.

Planning on getting the base model of Macbook Air 8gb RAM. I will most likely use it for editing videos using final cut and sometimes editing photos. i normally edit 1080P sometimes 4K but in 24fps timeline. do you think this would be good?
