I can’t stop watching M1 videos 😬
Counting down til my Mini ships 📦
Me either, I love watching and making them 😅
Same
Same 😀
100% me. I've watched around 50+ videos at this point. I have a 2016 MBP and am VERY much considering a Mini and then just wait till the 16" MBP get good then just have both
Glad i'm not alone with my new found obsession 😂
I have an M1 MacBook video addiction problem. I watch everything UA-cam recommends to me.
Me too! And I don’t even have one...
I do too and I have MacBook 16 inch
S(h)ame
Me too
I ordered mine last week
I will watch videos everyday till it arrives 🤣🤣
I think it's safe for Apple to include stickers in their Macbook with "Intel not inside"
Oh, but that means I won't be able to use these laptops as lap warmers this winter!
@@lorensims4846 😢
Apple inside
😂😂😂😂
😂😂🔥
I've been working away all day on my new MBA - 13 hours of screen time. Battery is still at 63%. Just feels so smooth and snappy to use. LOVE IT.
which configuration did you get?

This is the greatest apple product I have ever purchased other than the iPhone X. These two products blew me away and ruined every other product in their category. Hats off to the silicon team at Apple. HOLY SMOKES, the animations are butter.
I have the 16gb. Best computer device I have ever owned by far. It just does everything perfect. It’s insane 😎
@@Tackleqb Yo, i need this for school work and stuff like MS office, zoom, ms teams, spotify, chrome safari, a bit of minor gaming, discord etc. do u think that 8GB will be enough or do u think im gonna need to get the 16gb, since im thinking of upgrading from my 4gb 128gb dual core 2014 mac air, which slows down too often.
@@soda-cr1pn very enough. Cause the extra ram is a little bit excessive if you aren’t doing video editing and big rendering. Office work, light gaming and multitasking would be easy on the entry model. Check those multitasking demonstrations videos of the MBA M1 lowest end version, it works perfectly. And It’s just $999.
@@soda-cr1pn honestly it’s only $200 more. I would just go with the 16gb. 8gb should be plenty for what you’re doing but as they say you are getting the 16gb so it lasts longer.
I guess you didn’t buy apple in 2012 then...? That’s when it was at its best by far, and especially compared to the competition
10:50 this was legit the first time i noticed him without a hat on. Gonna be honest, i've always thought that the hat was part of his head.
Thank Apple for making him do it
hahahahaha
that’s how you know it’s good
I just bought this recently. I am blown away by it, the performance is off the charts. He's not bs'ing.
Right?!?!? It is toooo sick
Can it game?
Can you watch streaming movies on it for hours on end? Any tests with Adobe products?
@@sanidhyapratapsingh4952 it can game, just gotta make sure the game you want to play is supported by it

Hope you like it!!
@@tokyo9328 thanks sm, i’m so happy i got it because i’d been saving up for 9 months😁 i hope you get what you want soon too

Yeah, I've been using the 8GB mini for nearly 2 weeks now editing some big photo files with no slowdowns... 8GB's gonna be just fine for most things.
I can’t wait for my M1 MacBook Air to arrive 😍
Gonna be my first time leaving windows and trying macOS !
Same I’m watching these videos while waiting for mine😂
@@shafay4496 I got mine since 5 days now and I’m in love with it 😍

sameeee i'm waiting for mine
@@shafay4496 i can't stop watching these reviews too. they're all positive
I'm watching M1 MacBook Air videos on my M1 MacBook Air... very satisfying
I got mine a week ago, i'm doing a lot of programming right now and i still agree on everything in this video. The power, the batterylife, the compatibility. There were so many things that could go wrong on this device, but i hadn't any issues at all. i love it
How is web development on it?
@@abhishekshah5961 Pretty good, i've been editing some html and css files in vscode, having a webserver running using java and eclipse and installed a postgresql using homebrew. Everything worked without any issues. And you can easy do 10h+ webdevelopment on one batterycharge with 8-10 application running at a time
For programing works 8gb or 16gb iss recommended?
@@kpopz5740 are you just getting started in programming?
@@abhishekshah5961 i m not yet into heavy coding, still in learning phase, so asked
Thanks for making this! Ordered mine and it'd take a week more to arrive! Binge watching your videos, you're taking my excitement level blow up! Can't wait for mine :)
Thanks for the comment!
I ordered on 22 n it’s said to arrive dec 4th - 11, you too?
@@iLastStar I ordered yesterday it says the same for me
I loved seeing all the joy and excitement in you throughout this review🥰 fun video!
I plan on getting the M1 MacBook Air this winter! Thanks to your reviews it made my decision on what to get a lot easier!

@@soda-cr1pn try and get the 16GB ram if it's on a sale, for future-proofing so to speak.
I heard OBS is I the process of making this run native on the M1. I’m really interested to see the performance on that for my live streams. Having an ultra book that doesn’t chug at 100% on a 1080p stream would be AMAZING.
I think the M1 native version of OBS will run really well because it will probably use the hardware H264. H265 encoder, so it won't need to max out the CPU at all.
It already works very well, you can watch George Hotz's programming streams on Air M1 with 0 dropped frames on 1080p
It's not an ultrabook technically as to qualify for an ultrabook a laptop needs to have an Intel processor.
@@Nobody-xp6ip You could argue that the Ultrabook branding was Intel's response to the MacBook Air.
@@ShowsOn yes I was just saying for the term ultrabook..btw, this macbook is amazing
“If I can figure it out, you can figure it out.” Literally my favorite line from this channel 🤣🤣🤣
I definitely am getting this one. Thanks Dad!
The wait on my 16gb MBP is killing me...
lol ordered yesterday the same!
trust me it's worth it bro, I have it
The 8GB Ram model was available for pickup near me next week 11/30.... Switched to 16Gig and boom, a month delivery timeframe. Today i log into order status and it moved up a week
UGH Me too! Cancelled a 16 Intel version which would have arrived this week. Now Dec 10-17. All the accessories are here though lol
Pre ordered right after the Apple event and have my 16gb now 😎. This thing really the best laptop I have ever had bar none. Seriously this thing does it all.
So happy I waited for the M1 air, looks like my perfect laptop
I ordered an Air, but it won’t be delivered before Dec 22nd. Apple should send an advent calendar to count the days..
Same thing, i don’t understand why it takes so long...
Omg!!! So soon!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos!!
Love your tone and delivery! You’ve got yourself a (fairly picky) new subscriber
PC user switching to my first Mac, 16G 1T M1, cant wait to get my hands on it!!!
Finally apple laptops aren’t for cooking anymore
aww man, now how do i cook my bacon and eggs
@@sankeer28 easy: just buy the early 2020 intel mac air and u will be able to cook them faster than in a frying pan
never know that intel cpu can reach 100 celcius when its ramped up, thats literally water boiling point, literally cooking temperature.
MacBook Air in 2020 is still overheating after 10 minutes of use, just Google it. If you’re buying MacBook take a pro don’t take Air.
@@roggyo u talking about the m1 ones or the intel’s
You’re so good at this! This was excellent! Made me subscribe!
My laptop kinda gave up on me so i finally ordered a MacBooc two days ago, not knowing anything about M1 and stuff. Now i binged basically every video on it on YT and yours are my faves! They give me the infos i want in a way i understand.
Now i only have to wait until (at least) December 8th.
I ordered one today. Can’t wait to get my hands on it
Mine is in Shanghai right now. I’m playing mental games with myself to try and not check the tracking every 20 minutes. I’m so excited.
Yo, I need an air for school work and stuff like MS office, zoom, ms teams, spotify, chrome safari, a bit of minor gaming, discord etc. do u think that 8GB will be enough or do u think im gonna need to get the 16gb, since im thinking of upgrading from my 4gb 128gb dual core 2014 mac air, which slows down too often. do u think im gonna need 16 gigs or will 8 be enough?
@@soda-cr1pn Been using the Mac mini 8gb with pretty much exactly what you described and it handles it perfectly! I opened all my programs, and had like 20+ safari tabs open (lots with UA-cam videos playing) and it didn't skip a beat. I had the 16gb I7 mini before this (for 2 weeks before this came out) and I'd say they're pretty close in terms of how much memory pressure they use.
The. MacBook Pro is “fan” tastic 0:29
Badum tss.

0:37 "Blown" away by the new MacBook Air
@@maschan91 okay but how can he got blown away if they don't even have a fan
@@LuckyTheory pfff
Great review. I stumbled in, listened and am now a subscriber. Oh yeah - You convinced me to stay with my option for the Air.
Been waiting for your review. I'm a video editor and I'm looking at this in replacement to my MBP 2012 Retina. Thank you for this!!!
Watching this on my M1 Macbook Air. Yes, it's that good!
Finally! A laptot from Apple I am willing to buy! The first one in 5 years! Almost got me with the 16 inch one, though!
I have seriously watched all your videos of the M1 MacBook Air. Thanks a lot for these as these are legit 'practical demonstrations' and not just bench scores. Gonna get mine next month. Thank you for this! It'll be my first ever MacBook.
im picking up my M1 macbook air today because of your videos on it. Thank you!!
I'll bet in the future, we will look back at laptops prior to the M1 and say" remember when one of these was like a frying pan with a blow dryer tethered by a power brick you had to carry around all the time?" In one swoop, apple has set the bar to a level that intel and even amd will ultimately have to match if they want to stay competitive or else they are gonna end up being yesterdays news like 8 tracks and the cassette and Cd's for that matter...this is "the holy grail" of the computing world: Powerful and yet cool running and great battery life...its been shown possible, now its time for the rest to catch up.
You've convinced me to go for a MBA instead of a pro.... I'm gonna buy it in January
I got mine - same specs as yours - on Sunday, unplugged it from full charge after set up and migration etc around 5pm and have only just plugged it in again (2%) at midday today (Tuesday)
Insane.
Ran updates on Sunday night sans power, and then Monday was a full day of video conference calls and all the while running a remote desktop as I am awaiting my physical work laptop.
31hrs of use without any cable involvement.
The battery has been amazing and then it's completely silent and the thermals are mind boggling.
Sensational start to things!
Love these M1 videos. I wanna review one soon! Keep up the good work.
Can you make or recommend a video on switching from Windows to Mac? I've been interested in these laptops for a while, and these ones just might drive me to buy! Great vid as always, keep it up!
Everything is ok but I'm more worried about your upcoming macbook pro video because you literally don't have any words left to praise that thing now. 😂👏
factz
Been waiting for a video like this for the MacBook Air M1!
Just bought this laptop to use for college based on your recommendation. I can’t wait for it to arrive
I sold my MBP 16" for the M1 MBA with 512gb storage. I am amazed by it!!!
Gonna get the Air, my first mac after being on iOS for years.
You can get the 13” Pro for $1149 at Simply Mac with their Black Friday sale right now. Wife got one and it’s really nice.
@@robertelliottsr4566 wow thanks! also i need some help: I need an air for school work and stuff like MS office, zoom, ms teams, spotify, chrome safari, a bit of minor gaming, discord etc. do u think that 8GB will be enough or do u think im gonna need to get the 16gb, since im thinking of upgrading from my 4gb 128gb dual core 2014 mac air, which slows down too often. do u think im gonna need 16 gigs or will 8 be enough?
@@soda-cr1pn 8 will be just fine, yet just get the 16GB for better performance in the future
@@user-jr9cn7bs6n oh ok thanks
@@soda-cr1pn 8 should be enough. I opened every single app at once on my wife’s M1 Pro along with Microsoft office apps, 20 loaded tabs in Safari trying to choke it down and it never slowed down!
Woah I just booked mine..Ever first Macbook, space grey...So excited to use it after hearing all these great reviews. Love your excitement and detailed information on MacBook Air M1. Amazing video , great work💗😇
I love your excitement!!!
Looks like this is going to be my first Macbook!! 🤩 I'll probably get it w 16gb unified memory & 512gb!
Nice! Hope you enjoy it!
I ordered that config, but delivery time is loooong (I ordered last week, expected delivery is December 18th)
Same config as mine, but shipping mid December 🤯
@@jannikmeissner So lucky you could already order!! It's not even available yet in the PH :(
@@DanRichardsonTV Wahh lucky!! I'm excited for you guys
Good thing I ordered one. 16GB, 512ssd. Can't wait! Good Videos, keep it UP!
Got the same ,cant wait its taking forever to arrive :(
Bought my Macbook Air M1 a month ago and no regrets. Love everything including the keyboards and battery life 🥰. Kudos!
Thank you for a great review!
Me watching reviews even after buying the air
Where u got the better WoW experience? 16" with the graphics or the M1? Askin for myself ,greetings from Germany, im a huge fan :)
I’ve only watched two of your videos 🙄 and I must say, I don’t know why I only stumbled upon them now. I’m not a tech savvy at all and boy your videos are amazing, it’s not complicated, it’s easy to understand and relatable for a non tech savvy - normal layman like me. And the best part is, your personality is refreshing. I’m subscribing to you right away!
Also, I’ve places a few orders of things you use from another video. Keep up the good work! 😂
your hat reminds me so much of a dad who spends most of his time on the garage doing some car or construction stuff.
Smartphone level battery life, this is just perfect.
This is from a Windows-PC user.
My laptop is struggling to have a 4hr battery life.
gaming laptop here. when im quick i have enough time to run from wall plug to wall plug
workstation laptop here. I can walk, but I better be quick when switching to another outlet.
My laptop is struggling for 1 hour
Got mine yesterday, spent the day setting it up. So excited for work on Monday haha
How did it go
WHOA - why haven't i already subscribed yet - time to rectify that. You convinced me on the Air.
i bought mine last weekend just cause i’ve been saving and your review was great
My air will arrive on 10 Dec...
And by looking all these videos dying for it
Make a video about M1 Mini 16GB if its able to handle 4K multi cam without jittering ?
I don't think we have anybody else watching your video and this channel or caring about m1 macs 😅😂
@c a i t l y n lol i meant no harm at all. It was just a response to @soamjena in good faith. looks like it came out bad lol
Hey dude! I recently bought the iPhone se 2020 after watching one of your reviews! It’s great and so are your videos!!! Thanks
Keep on watching on these M1 videos. One of the reviewers out there which i love watching. MacBook Air M1 is quite impressive
Hey there Daaad 😆. What external display would you recommend for this new MBA? (Mainly working with Lightroom/video editing)
I just want the 14 inch to be released already! Lol
I would love a 14 inch MacBook Air with a 16 inch style screen and 4 thunderbolt ports.
@@TheEverydayDad don't just blurt out everybody's dream like that Gary!
Do you think the 14” will come to the air as well?
@@audreys766 I doubt it, I think apple would want to diversify their lineup more by increasing the distinction between the “pro” and “air” models at a glance. By adding a 14” screen, anyone seeing a 14” MacBook would now know it’s the pro, and that lineup different alone would justify the larger price difference from the air. People that don’t need or care about the larger screen size, would then just go for the air.
When will it come out?
I’ve been watching you since you did your Ipad Pro 2020 review and all videos after that. You made me buy the 2020 Ipad pro and I couldn’t thank you enough on influencing me on the purchase becuase it helped my work/life easier and faster. Thanks man
such a great review. thanks
Hey gary, i was planning on getting the apple silicone pro before we saw the actual computers but i think im going to go for the air now because i can get it earlier and save some money, (i kinda wanted the touch bar but according to everyone its not worth it so i decided to give it up)
same!!!
Same feeling
I first ordered a MacBook Pro but cancelled it and got the air (which will come a week later now) because after all the reviews and some thinking about it, I realised that I would be wasting my money by buying the Pro. My last MacBook was a Pro and I loved it but the Air just makes more sense this time.

It’s “fan-less”-tastic! 😉
Thank you so much.
When I have the opportunity to buy this, I'll definitely go for it!
Nice if you get one I hope you enjoy it!
Because of you I got a 13 MBP. So far it’s ticking the boxes. It has magic pixie stuff that is doing stuff beyond the benchmarks.
This air is amazing, the fanless design makes it better than pro imo and apple is going to re design it and give it more power with future m2 and m3
I need this footage of WoW playing at high settings on a MacBook Air. PLS
And of SC2!!!!
Been watching all your great reviews on the m1. Just bought the Air 8gb ram and started editing in premiere tonight. You're right... this thing is INSANE
watching the unboxings and ratings until i get my macbook air...so excited!!
In which scenario would you recommend someone to upgrade from the 7 core GPU to the 8 core GPU?
When rendering vid
"spent hours and hours" bro you could've just told the number of hours the battery lasted.
Im usually a MBP 13 person too!! The fact that i just brought an Air 13 I was nervous but so so very glad i i did!
Cant wait for my new air! I was dead set on a pro but the savings and performance of the air is insane
I wish apple had Amazon class shipping
Buy them on Amazon, problem solved! 🤷♂️
@@gardiolan they aren't available
I am very indecisive. Which color should I choose? Silver or space gray? 🤯
I choose the space gray already, because is a more elegant or serious color for me. But I was thinking to buy the silver one because if it’s scratched you can see the real color below and is going to be silver. I suppose I’ll have to be careful. 😁
Space grey is out of this world. Silver has a little edge at looks when the laptop's closed but space grey nails it when you open the laptop and look at the keyboard and the trackpad area. Space grey is also good when the laptop's closed but legendary when its open. I suggest you go for space grey, as it looks a lot elegant.
I’ve been using a 2012 air, and it’s really been showing its age. So glad I held out on upgrading last year, now that the M1 laptops have launched. Just ordered an M1 air w/ 8 cores, 512GB storage, 16GB of RAM. Cant wait! Should receive it by the third week of December.
👀 Nice, comprehensive review. I enjoyed your presentation. Blessings on your day.
