ALL MY FAVORITE GEAR IS LISTED BELOW 👇
Discover why the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air might just be the best MacBook you can buy in 2024.

In this video I delve into my experience, compare it with previous models, and explore its capabilities for both creative work, productivity, and software development.

I had a 13inch pro, Quad core I5, it was bullet proof too, until about 2 weeks ago when the logic board fried and the battery gave up. Thats how macs go, they run great for about 5 years (heavy usage) then they just start crapping out. Battery or charging issue usually.

If you're leaning toward just getting a new laptop that you occasionally use with an external monitor then why not? If you're using your MPB like it's a Nintendo switch, where it IS your desktop computer and can be a hand held as well then of course get the MBP. By the same measurement no one would get Macbooks at all and just get iPads.

Thanks for this. I was considering the Air, but I've had memory pressure with 16gb. I was tempted to get the M2 MacBook Pro SKU the just released that has 1tb and 24gb of RAM, but I broke down and bought the 16" MBP with 512 and 36GB RAM. Still, that's a very pricey difference. The whole thing was brought on by my base M1 Mac MIni starting to crap out on me when recording video. I love the more powerful machine, but the cost is still a big issue.

Hi from New Zealand Kyle! Excellent video and just what i needed.. my 2017 super spec'd quad core intel Macbook Pro just developed a screen fault and I decided it was time to upgrade.. to the new Macbook Pro.. OF COURSE! I couldn't believe my luck that the new M3 Air has JUST been released. You know how it is, it's usually "oh i just bought the M2 and the M3 is out. Not this time! And after a bunch of videos your very detailed review sealed the deal. Instead of spending a boatload more I'm going with the Macbook Air 15.. I use FCP and a bunch of other programs of course, and I'm feeling super happy to go with the Air (as I'm about to travel for 6 months) and it looks like it'll do everything I need. THANKS! You saved me considerable dollars.. it hasn't arrived yet but I ordered after watching this, so chur bro! (as we say in NZ.. or choice brutha.. LOL)

M1 Pro runs circles around the new Air. Better display, better speakers. The Pro has fans and 16GPU cores. The fans are a big deal for sustained performance, gaming, rendering, exporting videos etc. It would be a downgrade, really.

I don't need 120Hz or Mini Led or all the other gimmicks, that's why I never could get myself to buy a Pro. Since I do a lot of the things you do (Affinity, Adobe, Clip Studio, a little bit of Blender) I'm glad to know that the M3 can handle that type of work. Now I can finally pull the trigger and get an Air. Thank you very much for your review.

@Tiffs-bookshelf 2 месяца назад

This video solidifies my decision to keep the 13” M3 air. I have until tomorrow to decide to keep it or get a Pro. I got the same version as you minus the Gb to 256 though. But I’m absolutely loving it so far. Thought maybe I’d need a pro, do I really. What I do, nope. And the 13” is perfect size for me.. I did talk my employer into getting me the M1 air that’s on sale. Working great, I’m doing office work and some editing and photo editing via canvas and websites. So glad they lowered the cost, I’m an Apple girly. But I am super excited about the M3 air. Plus STARLIGHT, need I say more.

Have been going back and forth between the 15" air and the 14" pro, my biggest concern is the heat, the 14" having a fan vs the conductive cooling of the air is the 1 thing that I worry about, I do a lit of parametric modeling (free cad) for 3d printing and cad work but I think you have answered the performance questions around that so its just the heat, and perhaps the ruggedness of the air vs the pro.

Lmao are you asking if it is powerful enough for graphic design? Just get a 14" or 16" M1 Pro or get an M2 Air instead and save yourself $600-$1000, depending on what you go with. If you want something light and 15", then get the m2. If you want something more powerful than either the m1 or m2 airs, then get an M1 Pro. But really you would barely even need an M1 Air for graphic design, and you definitely don't even need that. You would be fine with a 2015 15" MacBook Pro for like $300 if you just want something for graphic design.
