Some quick corrections: It’s 50g and not 500g difference 🤦‍♂️ And Apple has now reintroduced two NAND chips, bringing back the fast data transfer speeds.

ok i'm running a base M1 Macbook Air (8 GB / 256 GB) for 3 years now and the heaviest apps I use are Arc Browser and Figma (I design software). I also usually have 8-10 running simultaneously, with 2-3 active switching. With that use, mine is running great. Never thought about SSD speed or RAM speed or whatever, coz the software handles it all for you. Not the fastest or snappiest, but no noticeable slowdowns 99% of the time. so yeah, i'd suggest for most people, even the base M1 Air is excellent, especially if they're money conscious.

@Oliur 2 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing an actual real world use case.

@johhny.d. 2 месяца назад

Are you using any external monitors like 4k combined with Macbook Air?

@hacorn96 2 месяца назад

@@johhny.d. yes, I connect a 4k monitor about 20% of the time. That's where it runs into slowdowns after an hour or so, especially when using Figma full screen. That's because it heats up a lot and automatically slows down performance, from what I noticed. I have many ice packs lying around, so I use that for extended use (not ideal, but whatever). My next purchase would be a Pro precisely because of the fan, as it can handle extended use on a 4k monitor, without heating and slowing down as much. Again, this is specific to my use case.

@Niasyy 2 месяца назад

Which model ?

@oliverniehaus7159 2 месяца назад

Great that dual monitor support was brought to the MacBook Air and will be coming to the base m3 macbook pro. I understand the software limitations of not being able to run two monitors and the built in display at the same time, but why must the lid be closed? I own an apple vision pro and when I use mac virtual display it blacks out my screen but I can keep using the trackpad and keyboard. Why not do the same thing for the m3 air and pro? Black out the laptop screen if connected to two external monitors but don't require the lid to be closed. That way people can still use the keyboard and trackpad and don't need to get an external keyboard and mouse. Seems like an easy software change.

@chefTjay 2 месяца назад

Well explained, my friend 🎉

@elliekim6666 2 месяца назад

There is differences if you want to nitpick. 2 NAND chips, WIFI 6E vs 6 on the M2, and 2 Display out if screen is closed on the M3. Also. the Midnight color on the M3 has that new seal like on the Space black on the M3 pro. I have the space black model and it is fine. go with midnight if you want it imho.

Mainly needing a travel computer for transferring pics and video to external SSD from camera and then working on work email and web browsing. Should I go base model or 16gb ram/512gb storage?

@geraldcapo4400 Месяц назад

16/512 will be better suited for you and transfer speeds

@Abdullah-zl9ub 2 месяца назад

Very good comparison and a detailed one! I think the only thing you missed mentioning is the screen bezel size on the m1 which is holding me from getting it. What are your thoughts on that? Do you think the M1 would be good enough for Swift UI Xcode? Or get M2? M1 Pro is good price but it's really huge 16inch and heavier.

@BrenR 2 месяца назад

Honestly, I think it looks more friendly/charming with those bezels. Either way doesn’t detract from using it. I recommend finding a good used one with like 60 charge cycles for $500. That’s $700 less than the base M3 (1100+tax) with double SSD speed and M1 is still very fast.

@trinilup 2 месяца назад

The screen actually has the same usable space in both m1, m3 and m2. in M1 it will hide the top menu, in M3 and M2 it will always be there and that eliminates the "extra" space that there seems to be.

@Abdullah-zl9ub Месяц назад

Interesting. It’s set to auto hide? I think you advise going for the m1

@destructodisk9074 2 месяца назад

Unless you are in that super small niche of people that benefit from 10-20% short burst speed performance, there is no reason to get the M3. Get the M2 and put the saving towards accessories or if you want to get the M1, you’ll potentially save enough to upgrade RAM/storage which will be much more noticeable and useful than running a task for 60 seconds at higher performance.

@ZhuJo99 2 месяца назад

@WidePhotographs 2 месяца назад

But that M3 wont matter without a fan. It will thermal throttle to the point it will be as good as a M2. Save your money and get the M2 Air while they are still available and on sale.

@chidorirasenganz 2 месяца назад

@@WidePhotographs Actually if it’s a full load under 5 min, it won’t. Also if it’s in low power mode it won’t. Meaning it will match or exceed M2 without any thermal throttling. Finally in terms of gaming it will handle 1080p 30fps much easier since it’s able to use less power to get the same performance

@WidePhotographs 2 месяца назад

@@chidorirasenganz when you connect any monitor to the MacBook, it builds up heat because the GPu is being utilized a lot more. Also you do realize low power mode means the CPU performance is reduced to use less power.

@chidorirasenganz 2 месяца назад

@@WidePhotographs It depends. If you’re using more than one monitor then yeah it’s going to use more power. If you’re doing something power intensive then you’ll probably use one monitor unless you don’t care about the performance loss/heat buildup. Yes you do lose some performance with low power mode but for extended intensive tasks it will still meet or exceed M2. M3 Max has already shown this in comparison to the M2 Max.

I would so much want the Air with a mini-led screen. I don't understand why they refuse to make one. I would be willing to pay for it. I want the form factor and the lightness of an Air but with a fantastic screen. I don't want to go up to a heavy Pro model just to get the better screen. I'm just a normal user and don't need all the pro stuff. However... I want a great screen. Why Apple? Just charge us like you do with all other products. Would it be heavier, thicker perhaps?

@anthonyt425 2 месяца назад

I think it would hike up the price and the target audience (average student or general office professional) doesn’t require such a great screen for an entry level MacBook.

It’s very clear to me now that Apple ‘nerf’ the airs with 8/256 to get you to buy the Pros. If you stick 16/512 in them you get a significantly more capable machine, easily good enough for most ‘prosumers’ but the cost to Apple is peanuts. So, they make it a painful £400 upgrade, to make you feel stupid not paying “just a bit more” for a base Pro 14. Simple as that. They could, but they don’t, because cannibalisation of their own profits. Frustrating ad hell, but hey, they’re not stupid and in business to make money.
