At 3:25 it is meant to be 39% not 70%. I did the percentage the wrong way around... But with this 39% , it makes the point even more clearer! So do you think it is worth getting an M3 MacBook Air or is an older M2 or M1 MacBook Air Model more worth it?

I waited for the MacBook Air M2 to come out. When first reviews came out I immediately purchased the base model MacBook Air M1. It’s faster but I have no use for it. Matt nails it. The jump from Intel MacBooks to M1 was a quantum leap. And M2 and M3 improvements are evolutionary not revolutionary. I am so happy that my M1 continues to give a speedy user experience for my non-Pro uses. Listen to Matt, buy a M1 if you’re not a Pro user and not pretending to be one.

@fitnesschefen Месяц назад

I think I'm gonna go with M1, much cheaper and I only watch Netflix, browsing, light 4K videos from vacation and so on! But must admit the M2 and M3 designs are nicer

You can get a Macbook Air M1 and a Mac Mini M1/M2 for about the same price as the Macbook Air M3. That's what I have and it works great...90% of the time I'm using my Mac Mini M1 16GB and the other 10% I have my Macbook Air M1 8GB for when I'm on the go. I don't need to worry about dongles as the M1 mini can easily connect to two 4K monitors without any special adapters...and I got the one with 10G ethernet so I have future proofing there.

I have a MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro chip. I bought it when they first came out, and to this day, it still feels like a brand new computer. It is ridiculously fast and I plan on using it for many many many more years. I don’t feel the need to upgrade anytime soon, and don’t plan on it for many more years. The M1 chip is exceptionally fast. Anyone who purchases a machine with Apple Silicon in it for any price, will thoroughly enjoy it.

The reason why we are upgrading my daughter's M1 Air to an M3 Air is the RAM. Moving from 8 to 16 GB along with a significant jump in GPU / CPU plus 6 + years support means we don't have to think about it until she has finished university. The M1 is great but it is coming up to 4 years old and the 8GB RAM does create issues and will be even more of an issue as the years go by..

@sovanait8229 3 месяца назад

Precisely why we had all of our M1s (small business) built with 16 GB. They are a couple years old now, but have plenty of "oomf" to last several more.

@AndrewUKLondon 3 месяца назад

I thought about an m2 but the mic improvements with the m3, better gaming and other improvements (ray tracing, mesh shading, double WiFi speed, dynamic caching, AV1 decode etc makes the m3 more future proofed. 256gb is more than enough for me. On a phone I want more but a laptop I’m always using in a WiFi area - and using cloud storage and cloud media 256gb is great. 8gb ram is fine for my uses but I can see some people would want 16gb (and have that option). Thing I would really like to know is what benefits the m3 over the m2 for Apple’s upcoming AI infused MacOS (and iOS) changes. Like a lot of people my AI use has snowballed over the past several months and that’s accelerating.

3 days ago, I purchased the MBA M1 13 base model to upgrade from my current MB Pro 2015. I mainly use my Mac for daily tasks. I'm pleased to discover that, through research before the purchase, the MBA M1 offers the best value for money. Appreciation for stating the obvious.

@DanijelTurina973 Месяц назад

Tab key on my M1 air died recently, and the repair shop quoted me insane money for replacing the entire top cover, probably hoping I'll just throw it away and buy a new one. That was an option, but since nothing else was wrong with it, I went with option B) and installed a free piece of software for keyboard remapping and remapped the CapsLock to Tab.

@joseph-montanez 3 месяца назад

One item to also include... M1 Macbook Air can run a second monitor at a small cost! There are cheap Display Links adapters and even its cheaper Silicon Motion sibling. I picked up a used Plugable UGA-HDMI-S which is fine for 1080p@60FPS, and its a USB A / USB C port for less than $40. Need 4k? Than for $80 you can get a single USB-C port to output to 2, 4k monitors@60FPS, again from Plugable USBC-6950M. Now, it does take up CPU to run these additional monitors and you cannot rotate them in display settings, but I'll take that hit over the extra $500 for the M3.

M1 def a good deal if you can find good used pricing. Main thing that concerns me is the SSD wear since you can't replace it though. Many will be due for a batter replacement by year 5 probably too though with apple silicon you can run them longer like you mentioned so less of an issue.

@MattTalkTech 3 месяца назад

@@MattTalkTech Well... I have a mac mini, so I would assume that you know I already have those peripherals! LOL. I also have a CalDigit TS3 Dock. The reason I'm moving away from the mac mini is that I'm doing more travel these days (purchased mac mini during covid) and I miss having my main computer with me when I travel and I'm more than okay with using the keyboard on the laptop and the trackpad as well so no need for me to purchase extra equipment.

The big change was between Intel Mac and the M chips. If you have a M1 then differences between M2 and M3 are really tight. I have bought a M2 MBA two weeks ago and it is really powerful. I really don't need to upgrade for the moment. And it is just a base model.

It took me about a minute to work out the M1 was 95% the computer for 40% the money and all it lacks is enough ports to not need a dongle and a replaceable ssd which is a short coming the new models have to so if Apple want my money they need to add more than faster internals and a new shape that doesn't feel as nice in the hand as the old one.

Plugable makes a dual 4k HDMI @ 60hz dock that works GREAT with the M1 Air. The only catch is you have to install DisplayLink software to get around the M1 external display limitation. That said, we have several M1 Airs running off of these docks with dual 27" 4k displays. Very cost efficient setup with plenty of power to drive our business needs.

@barkmonster 3 месяца назад

@@sovanait8229 DisplayLink stuff misses the point. Installing the DisplayLink driver is far from the only limitation. It doesn’t use the video acceleration of the internal GPU and it’s a half-baked work around. They’ve been around for years and only good for low bandwidth display usage like business software. Worthless for anything that needs a dedicated GPU for acceleration like rendering, gaming etc…

I’d say if you are a student or normal home/office user, buy the best condition M1 or M2 MBA (2nd hand, refurnished, or old-stock) you can find at your price point. They are, most likely, will be base spec 8GB RAM/256GB SSD anyway. If you are a more serious user and do more calculations, graphics, video editing, etc., then find similar M1/M2/M3 Pro MBP that you can afford. Just make sure they come with at least 16GB RAM (18GB RAM in case of M3 Pro) and 512GB SSD minimum. If you are a pro, then you know who you are and what you want. Simple as that.

Specially if you modify the heatsink inside the Macbook Air with some thermal pads and then use a laptop fan under the Macbook air, you get sustained performance rivaling the Macbook Pro. To protect the internal battery from the heat dissipated to the back cover, tape some heat resistant tape on the back of the back cover to prevent heat transfer from the cover into the battery.

How well does Stable Diffusion work?

These are two apps where you'd see a huge improvement with the M3

M1 is a masterpiece. Especially the Air. All that grunt and silent operation. Tough to beat.

It is a FANTASTIC DEVICE!

I think m1 is at a perfect price. For cost and performance, if you want the new design and bigger screen then get m2 15”. You want something more pro? Then get one of the newer pros.but if you doing light computing, emails Microsoft suite stuff, home photo or video touch ups nothing to fancy,light gaming then m1s or m2. I am looking for something cheap and long lasting so I am leaning towards 16gb m1 or an m2 15”

This was a good honest video, but I had to watch it with subtitles. I couldn’t listen to the loud voice. Sorry Matt.

Apple M series price depend on the Ram 8G,16G, 24G and the Storage Disk 256G, 512G, 1TG, 2TG. The speed depend on the read and write speed. No matter how fast it is, it cannot happen all in a second display. It all depend on it process. When it happen, it take 20 years later.

Apple software updates and support usually start fro the date of release, so in theory you will receive 4 years more of software support on an M3 and two years more on an M2 than an M1 and that alone makes the cost of entry for on gojng software and security updates worth while.

I have an mba m1 and a mbp m3pro. They do different jobs most of the time but for every day use, social media, RU-vid, emails etc you can’t tell the difference except that the mba is lighter and easier to use on the “lap”. Won’t be selling mba any time soon…
