I just upgraded to the M1 MacBook Air base model for all my photography needs. But is it good enough? I give my honest opinion on its functionality with Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. I explain exactly why I switched from the 15" MacBook Pro to the smaller M1 MacBook Air.
I hope you enjoy this video and if you have any questions then do drop me a comment and I'll do my best to answer them for you.

Would you recommend this laptop as the only laptop to work with photography, as in no need for a extra desktop or something like that? I don't know anything about photography, but I am looking for a laptop (two, actually) to give to my sisters, both of which work with these softwares and photography. They have been struggling with Windows PCs to do their work for the longest time and seem to need Apple hardware to work more efficiently. Only problem is that where they live, Apple products are obscenely expensive because of import taxes. I want to give them a proper work laptop as a gift but I can only spend so much though, and at first this looks like a great budget option that I could pick for them.

@gkexposure4101 3 года назад

First of all that’s really really nice of you to purchase a MacBook for your sisters. Even if you’re just considering. I know it’s bot the cheapest I genuinely think it’s well worth the money you spend on these. You can output to a bigger monitor very easily which will help their workflow. If I had the choice to only have the MacBook Air as my main machine I don’t think I would say no. You’re absolutely right. Apple hardware does last longer.

@claytonjon 2 года назад

Gorav, I would like to know this as well. I am really struggling with which machine to buy for LR Classic editing.

@trevorkim 2 года назад

It works great. Owned a 8GB air for 6 months and it only struggled with panoramic stitching my canon R5 45mp photos. After getting another air with 16GBs of ram it’s just flying through now. Also it struggles less when I use my 4K monitor and use Lightroom with duals screens with the built in monitor.

@gkexposure4101 2 года назад

It’s not bad. It’s got a little better considering the native compatibility. I wouldn’t recommend editing a wedding in LRC as it starts to get sluggish when copying and pasting settings from one image to another. Furthermore I’m finding that my external hard drive seems to get really hot. Like worryingly hot. I’ve recently bought the M1 pro base model. Testing that with LRC.

@GroverCleveland43 2 года назад

Thank you for a straightforward review aimed at photographers. I traveled in India for a few months and appreciated having such little weight as the Air gives. That was a few years ago and now I am considering a M1 Air. How much computer gear do really travel with? Also regarding cost, I am in California but moving back to Wales next Spring, and wonder if the import duty and other taxes in the UK would or should play to my decision to purchase an Air here in the US and just bring it with me. Lovely channel and now you have another subscriber.

Hey pal. I’m currently travelling Indonesia with the MacBook Air base model. It’s the perfect laptop especially if you’re only travelling with a carry on bag. It slips in nicely into any tight space.

It hasn’t affected my SSD health but I’ve definitely been concerned. What I have noticed is how hot the laptop gets when editing images in Lightroom classic. Even with the new update which is compatible with the M1 chip. It’s as if the programme is using the machine to its maximum capacity. Strange I know. The truth is Lightroom classic needs to be reprogrammed from the ground up. Other programmes such as Capture one pro hardly break a sweat and perform just as well if not better.

Is 8 gb ram enough for photo editing? Which one would be a better choice MacBook Pro 8GB RAM vs MacBook Air 16GB RAM ?

@gkexposure4101 3 года назад

Right now I would wait for the M2 or M1X whatever they’re going to call it. But if I had to choose then I would go for the MacBook Air 16GB RAM for photo editing and future proofing. Especially if it’s going to be your main machine. This is because the M1 pro will only give a slight boost in performance due to the active cooling system (fan). For photo editing you can always do with the extra RAM depending on how far you want to push it. I went for the 8GB model because I wanted a replacement for my old MacBook Pro for travelling. Even then I am more than happy with the performance. I regularly use my MacBook Air around the house for photo editing without any issues. Just waiting for Lightroom classic to go native M1. I can video edit. Something I wasn’t able to do on my previous MacBook Pro. I hope this helps. 😊👍

I'm watching this review over a year after it was made. I'm finding more recent videos, made within a month or two of 1/2023, is reporting that the 8gb version is getting really hot running Lightroom for more than 20minutes and having a noticeable difference in performance as a result. Are you experiencing this now that Lightroom is working proper with the M1? I just got the M1 iMac and found there's a huge difference in performance from the fans in the 8 vs 16 model. Does that apply with the MBA as well?

not sure if I missed out but are you using the 256gn variant? is that ssd enough? thanks!

@gkexposure4101 2 года назад

Hey. Yes I’m using the 256gb model and only install essential software on the machine. Everything else I keep on an external hard drive.

Hello great video. I’m a sports photographer & I am in a MacBook Air Vs IPad Pro (2021) thought. As a sports photographer I would require to batch process on either Lightroom or on Photoshop images of when I’m shooting how do you think this laptop could handle this. I use a 16 megapixel Canon 1D Mark IV. I would store work on the hard drive instead back up everything externally. Thanks

@milld9345 2 года назад

Yeah don’t get iPad Pro for editing. The only thing that’s enjoyable for PS on iPad Pro 2021 is you can mask better with the pen.

@gkexposure4101 2 года назад

If you get the MacBook Air then get the 16gb ram model. You’ll be fine.

@mt-nv4jd Год назад

At 3:20 you said Macbook Pro. Which is it you're talking about. Air or Pro. I'm totally confused.

@gkexposure4101 Год назад

MacBook Air buddy. I think I misspoke. Thanks for pointing that out. 👍

Did you notice any performance hits after editing for a while in photoshop, for example multiple adjustments and layers? My current laptop, the base MacBook Pro 2016 becomes so slow after a while and crashes often.

@gkexposure4101 3 года назад

I haven’t noticed any performance issues but it might be worth me making a video about it to push it’s limits. My 2015 model was insanely slow too. Im surprised I kept it going for this long.

Is m1 air good for gaming and video editing ? Although I mainly want for image video editing

@gkexposure4101 3 года назад

Great for video editing with Da Vinci Resolve. Haven’t tried gaming on it. I’ve got an Xbox and a separate gaming PC.

@@gkexposure4101 I would atleast love to play some games especially strategy games . Does steam work in Mac

@milld9345 2 года назад

I’ve read they are still not great for gaming mainly because game developers haven’t designed popular PC games for MAC’s. But people are suggesting in the future more developers might put more effort in, due to the M1 chip being so powerful, so users would get better game play experience. I’m guessing this is partly why Apple developed such a powerful chip, to encourage game developers…as it’s huge market.

Hi. Would you recommend this 8GB RAM for video editing in Final Cut pro? Hope you can reply. Thanks.

@gkexposure4101 3 года назад

The one I have is the 8GB model and I’ve not had any issues video editing in 4K. Even with da Vinci resolve.

@milld9345 2 года назад

I’d get 16gb as you can’t go back and change your mind later on. More RAM the better.

@SimoneMalakay 2 года назад

Hey mate, great video, I've really enjoyed watching it. Could you let me know your feedback nowadays, considering that you've been using it for quite a while and Adobe has released multiple patches? Cheers!

@gkexposure4101 2 года назад

Definitely go for the 16gb ram model. My 8gb shits itself all the time when using Lightroom.

What is that pad you are using to edit with?

@gkexposure4101 3 года назад

@Umarshafiq2012 3 года назад

Does 8gb works well with adobe photoshop and illustrator? Or I should get a 16gb variant?

@gkexposure4101 3 года назад

I’m happy with the 8gb model but I guess if you want to future proofing it a bit and have the budget then go for the 16. 👍

@milld9345 2 года назад

I’d definitely future proof to 16gb!

What do you think about the IPad pro 12.9 256/8gigs with the Samsung SSD and the Apple pencil for photo editing instead of the MacBook Air?

@gkexposure4101 3 года назад

Personally I like to edit in Adobe Lightroom Classic which you can’t get on the iPad. Lightroom Classic is also the preferred version for most photographers I’ve worked with. Also Adobe Photoshop isn’t the full blown version on the iPad which is another reason why I prefer the MacBook Air. It all comes down to preference. The iPad had potential and is very powerful but the professional editing software on desktop cannot be matched. Not yet anyway.

Is it worth getting for LRC in late 2022? Or should I get the 16GB version. Or an Intel based Laptop?
