MacBook Air 15" Review - The Best Laptop ALMOST (1 Month Later!) 

It is NOT the best. NO NATIVE HDMI PORT.

The majority of users don’t need hdmi. Same with the RAM but it would be ideal if Apple included 16gb as the base.

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 👑🇯🇲🔥💥🌟⭐💯💎

Thanks I was really going for over edited garbage, I guess I succeeded.

8gb or 16gb ram?

Yeah everything is fine! New video tomorrow, sorry to keep you waiting 🙏

interesting, maybe due have a lot light? mini led?

It's from the PWM the mini-LEDs use to modulate brightness. Some users (like myself) are quite sensitive and literally cannot use devices with PWM comfortably. The 15 in does not use PWM. Neither does the M2 13 inch. Every other apple laptop for the last 6 years besides those use PWM.

interesting, what about the 32 XDR display, same thing?

Ha thank you 🙏

I have a 2015 15” MBP, too! It has really served me well. I edit vids but nothing that is an hour long. Good luck with your decision!

Especially if you spec up the Air!

If the screen size difference doesn't bother you, I would go with the Pro for similar money.

@@chicobs Absolutely

I love my Pro (although I have the 16) and I find the screen colors/brightness and speakers just too good to pass up. Sure it’s a heavier thing but it’s not like it’s too heavy to carry around.

If you can stretch a little bit more, get the 15in 16GB/256GB, otherwise get the 13in 16/256.

For your budget and if you consider a 13" Mac: Macbook Air M1 with 16GB. 8GB is not future-proof.

I got the same specs for my Macbook Air and love it

so coooooooooo

You would have gotten pro with that money

😳

It will have a different title and go viral. The money he makes off it maybe worth 10 MacBooks lol 😂

Same here. My 16 inch is so heavy, bulky .. stays home most times. Use iPad Pro 12.9 in its place. Guy at Best Buy told me trade-in on M1 16” 16GB RAM/1TB storage was $800!! I don’t need the processing power but do need the screen.. But I’m not stupid!!

@@NomusaMagical Same. My MacBook Pro stays at the desk 99% of the time so I also use a 12.9” iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard as a portable device.

@@Piketom1 I guess iPad Pro really is a “desktop replacement” for some of us. I do have a few things that require a full desktop version browser. A FEW!! 😊

How much storage did you get? Thinking of getting the 16gb with 512 storage. Probably will get an external later on.

@@orlandoalexander7119 get 512gb that’s fine for apps but use iCloud and external storage for everything else but try getting 24gb Ram you wont regret it

Very portable. I took it to Europe with me last month. Perfect size!

I didn’t win a prize, this is spam

Stop scamming people

15 air

I am also considering 8/512. How is your experience so for?

@@Emre-tf9mx it’s great! 8gb of ram is enough on a Mac even for the UX design / photo work that I do, Mac handles ram very well. I got 512 because I needed the extra space for apps and design storage. But I think a lot of people can get away with 256 just depends what you plan to do with it

😂

Yeah it can handle it! If you're editing projects that are longer than 10 minutes with more than 1 stream of 4K, I'd strongly recommend upgrading to 16gb of memory for a smoother experience.

@@GregsGadgets Thank you Greg 🙏🏻. Very helpful info ❤️

Any M1 or M2 device can handle hobby level and even intermediate level 4k editing pretty well. It's only once you get up dealing multi-cam footage, heavy effects work, or doing big exports that you'll want to start looking at the Pro devices. Not because of the chip itself, but because of the cooling. Basically, if the computer is not going to be running at 100% CPU for several minutes at a time, it'll probably be fine. That's the cool thing that Apple did with their M chips - there really is no "low end" M chip, they start out pretty darn good.

@@RameshKumar-ng3nf and if you're upgrading to 16GB of RAM you're getting closer to the price of a 14" Macbook Pro which is superior to the Macbook Air in it's screen, ports and sound.

@@mavfan1 Oh Okay. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

There is zero, less than zero chance the base M3 will come with 16GB/512GB base without a considerable price increase.

Are you finding the m2 struggling with 16gb of ram in this? I haven’t been able to slow it down.

Why should he? This product is for people who do NOT need all those ports, but really want a bigger screen, like me. I never ever hook my MacBook to an external screen. Otherwise I would get a MacMini. I simply need a good sized screen and MacOS. I don’t need a massive SSD as I have already external storage at home, with back up. The user base for the pro series is different in reference to what they need and want to do with their machines. The Air, both sizes, are incredibly portable and light weight. Perfect for when I travel. And I travelled a lot since 1993! So you see, your comment is just an assumption of what you think Apple is doing here. Of course, everybody is different. But techno’s so advanced these days, that the top end products are not necessary anymore. And Apples OS‘s across the board are a huge argument for that! Food for thought, right? BTW flexing with the most expensive is so 2009. And that you can afford something doesn’t mean you have to buy it.

No I'm at Greg's Gadgets HQ.

@@GregsGadgets so you guys share a building?

Yes,not the best thumbnail 👎

Is caffeine a PED?

Looking at many Windows reviews and most are sponsored as they are so boring upgrades that YT creators would not bother if they were not paid by Windows OEMs. It is a laptop, a mature market. What are you expecting in this sector. Boring is now the new good as we are just getting refinement to what we have.

@@andyH_England plenty of innovation out there if you take a look, from LG, Asus and others. This is literally JUST a bigger screen and YT's are jizzing all over it with excitement.

@@shaun1900 there are some freaky looking niche designs that have the wow factor when released but soon become a waste of money and no one buys them. Next year. Laptops have matured and the best design is simplicity and user efficiency. That means for vast the majority, the MacBook Air 15 is a beast and easily the best ultrabook in the world at the moment.

Apple silicon is amazing. This is only the second generation of a monumental chip change and most Mac users are still on an older intel machine. What's not to get excited about?

@@GregsGadgets bigger screen size does not excite me. If Mac air going to be a portable device they should’ve made it touchscreen and this is the only thing that can make me excited I’m still using my iPad Pro. It’s a great computer can almost do everything what I want to do it is very portable.
