Agreed. I needed to upgrade my iPhone 7 a couple of years back (which worked perfectly well still) as I wanted a better camera. I was so close to getting the 13pro max many times then realised the 11 at £450 new was more than good enough. So glad I didn’t waste over £1k on a 13

I have the base model M1 MacBook Air and it hasn’t missed a beat in all the time I’ve used it. Definitely recommend if you are on a tighter budget but need a capable laptop.
If it's an older product you may as well buy used or refurbished rather than new, I've seen the M1 Air for as little as $600 refurbished or $425 used (good condition). There's little functional difference between paying Apple a premium to get an older machine brand-new compared to getting it secondhand, provided it isn't damaged. The battery might be a little degraded, and that's really it as far as things you have any real chance of noticing. My laptop of choice is the Tab S8 Ultra and I got it for only $470 by buying refurbished. MSRP at launch was $1100. Zero complaints, it feels just like a brand new machine.
yeah, I really like the S21 Ultra design a lot. Samsung had the unique and cohesive brand identity going for them with the camera module seamlessly melting into the frame - but then they had to fuck it up with the individual camera lenses for the next generation. The individual lenses are more vulnerable and collect a lot of dust around them and finding cases that fully protect them is more difficult, etc.
@@PrabhablyAGoodUA-camr I still miss the back designs Samsung used to have in S10 series. They were so good! But then Apple came out with the camera bump in the corner and every other company jumped to get some variation of that in their products
@@krishbohra5536 I believe iPhones have had their cameras in the corner on every single model since the first iPhone, so I don't think every other company jumped to get some variation of that because iPhones have been doing it since their first. There are still phones like Pixel that have it in the center similar to S10, but I think companies are putting cameras in the corner more often because it is more space efficient as it is tucked away in a corner, and space is more important as the camera modules get larger every year. If you see teardowns of the S23 Ultra for example, the module is so huge that it takes almost 1/4 of the space. If it were designed like S10, then there would be space left at the top of the phone which could've been used for a larger battery, etc. And the S Pen won't fit because the module would be blocking it, that's why it is tucked away in the corner and they switched the S Pen position from right to left, etc.

As someone who also bought a 14” M1 MacBook Pro when they came out in 2021, I fully agree with Marcus. It is by far the most solid and satisfying computer I’ve ever owned - I likely won’t need to upgrade for another 6-7 years at least.

Until one tiny thing breaks. Then you are screwed. Try to repair one thing on your laptop. You won't be ever able to repair these things outside of apple. It should be possible to do proper repairs with these things. Hopefully legilsation will put a stop to glued up shit.
@@TheRealPostpunkerDo you own one ? My buddy has a MacBook for 6 years and without issues. I had an issue with my M1 Pro, but it was fixed under warranty. If you are that concerned and want piece of mind, buy Apple care. Apple computers tend to be pretty reliable and trouble free. You will eventually have issues with any computer. If you get 5 years out of it or more, that is a win. I disagree with you. I see more issues out of phones than computers. They also tend to be used more.

I think that the M2 MacBook Air is worth it just because of the nicer-looking design. The spec bumps are also great. It also looks like the Pros. But performance-wise, the M1 MacBook Air is enough for most.

He's so right about this. I have an M1 Pro 16in and honestly there's absolutely no need to upgrade. It does EVERYTHING incredibly fast no matter your workflow.
M1 MacBook Air is awesome but plagued by the flex gate issue. The Apple Store says they’ll have to change the display for a broken cable that’s too short.
@@nazeefkhan4290 Its where the flex cable that connects the ;mother board to the display is too short and it sometimes breaks when you open and close your monitor on a MacBook many times(or to its full extent).
Fr this flex gate issue is no joke. 3 of my close friends have the m1 air and 2 of them got flexgate issue recently and since they got those at the time of launch, its a nightmare to fix now since they are out of warranty.
I thought something was up. I didn’t even have my m1 a full year and the screen just goes black but the backlighting is still working. It takes days for the computer to come back on.
@@mikeo.4203and that don’t acknowledge it. Because if they do, they’ll have to call all of them back. Got mine repaired at a local repair shop for 300 USD . They claimed that the screen is OEM from LG and the quality suggests so, however that meant that they changed the camera as well(the camera comes in-built with the screen panel), which is horrific now(very low res). And that is your best chance at getting your M1 MacBook Air fixed for a low price.
Good luck. Most likely the SSDs fail and you are not able to repair anything of that kind of matter if there is not a clever guy who can rewrite the protocol of pairing that apple does.
I’ve been using an M1 MacBook Air for two years now. I don’t recommend it if you have to edit lots of videos. Would recommend the M1 MacBook Pro or something instead where it has a fan.
Just got the MBP M1 Max and save 1100 on it from B&H, it’s the one I’ve been wanting for a while and now that I can actually afford such a machine it’s incredible! Hope it’ll be a great upgrade from my old 2017 iMac with intel 7700K
M1 MacBook air is definitely worth the money. The battery life is insane, performance is more than enough for day to day use and it can even handle some heavy tasks without sweat. Updates will keep rolling for years in the future and the fact that there is no fan means there is less points of failure and the need to clean the inside. its so convenient and small too.
Same goes with people who get the latest iPhones or Samsungs. If you have a recent version no older than three years, you don’t need the update. Unless of course you’re trying to show off, which we get.
I have an M1 Pro and it is still running smoothly. Quick. Boots up quick. No lags. Have not freezed up once. I can say this computer will last a few more years. Couldn’t have made a better investment. I jumped from an iMac 2012 and waited until the M1 Pro. Worth the wait.
Although M1 is just fine, thr M2 has way more powerful efficiency cores. If you use power saving mode often like me, M2 could actually make a difference.
The quantum leap will always exist if you are on old hardware for a long time then move over to new hardware. I cannot wait to get my 12.9” iPad Pro with M2. People say it has minor improvements over the M1. I’m still using my 9.7” iPad Pro from 2016. That will be a huge insane quantum leap for me. Going from an iPad with the minimum multitasking to a power house with dual display support. I can play Xbox game pass on an external display while exporting an HEVC 4K timeline to an external SSD while talking to my brother during the game on FaceTime. Mind Blown 🤯
I went from 2012 MacBook Pro to 2022 m2 MacBook Air last year. I basically had to upgrade because newer versions of Microsoft office wouldn’t work on my old one. The difference was absolutely nuts.
only reason i went with the 14 inch m3 macbook pro is bec i came from a 2019 dell xps and wanted to finally experience the macbook pro. good thing i found the $2400 model (upgraded cpu with 18gb ram and 1tb storage) going for $1950 bec someone returned it after 2 days at best buy lol.
Hard not to think from all the benchmarks and specs that m2 is just a slightly overclocked m1 with slightly different core counts, which means it actually only fills in space between m1 models rather than replacing anything. So why would anyone who sees that crossgrade if they already chose their price/performance level and m2 doesn't improve the price/performance curve, only adds extra options I'm between?
Can I ask a question ? I see a lot of FB market place sellers who sell brand new in box MacBook Pros M2 Max etc, for up to 1000 dollars off? I wondered if they were Appo employees reselling, they get friends / family 15% discount and passing that saving on to FB buyers? One of them said its his side business. Is there a way people can start a Mac reseller pay for large stock and sell it at huge discounts? Or what else is happening???????

Honestly I would buy the m1 MBA, but I really love the 15inch display on the new MBA m2. I'm currently using a dell xps 15 and i can't see myself using a smaller screen
I found M1 Air for $899 vs $999 M2 Air $100 difference which one should I go with? I'll be using it for school and video editing. I'm thinking M1 will have everything I need. But for $100 more will it be worth the upgrade?
I’m using a 2019 i9 MacBook Pro w/ 16gb ram. It does well but not great with video production In4k. It stutters at times. I have a chance to grab an M1 Mac mini 16gb ram / 512 SSD.

Fr this flex gate issue is no joke. 3 of my close friends have the m1 air and 2 of them got flexgate issue recently and since they got those at the time of launch, its a nightmare to fix now since they are out of warranty.
I thought something was up. I didn’t even have my m1 a full year and the screen just goes black but the backlighting is still working. It takes days for the computer to come back on.
@@mikeo.4203and that don’t acknowledge it. Because if they do, they’ll have to call all of them back.
Got mine repaired at a local repair shop for 300 USD . They claimed that the screen is OEM from LG and the quality suggests so, however that meant that they changed the camera as well(the camera comes in-built with the screen panel), which is horrific now(very low res). And that is your best chance at getting your M1 MacBook Air fixed for a low price.
Just ordered the m1 air after hearing so many recommendations
hows that going so far? been thing of getting a m1 as well
I can’t seem to find m1 anywhere
Love it that’s exactly what I’ve ordered
I’ve had my 16” M1 Max for a while now, and love it. I hope to keep using it for another decade of use.
Good luck. Most likely the SSDs fail and you are not able to repair anything of that kind of matter if there is not a clever guy who can rewrite the protocol of pairing that apple does.
Makes me wonder how and when windows will start pushing arm versions to compete
M1 is low-key really good. The other models but it mostly for designs on the other Ms
Love you guys .❤
I have the M1 MBP and I love the Touch Bar, I’m sad to see they are removing it
Hell yes!! I love my M1 MacBook Air. No lie best laptop I’ve ever purchased. I have no complaints.
I’ve been saying this for years and everyone calls me a fanboy. It’s just an awesome laptop! Lol
@@stumpf9938 Hahaha very true! It’s just great.
I’ve been using an M1 MacBook Air for two years now. I don’t recommend it if you have to edit lots of videos. Would recommend the M1 MacBook Pro or something instead where it has a fan.
Just got the MBP M1 Max and save 1100 on it from B&H, it’s the one I’ve been wanting for a while and now that I can actually afford such a machine it’s incredible! Hope it’ll be a great upgrade from my old 2017 iMac with intel 7700K
The m1 is the only mac i have used and miss. its just top level
Until a tiny thing breaks. You won't be able to repair this. You are out of warranty. Good luck.
M1 is still going hard after 3yrs
M1 MacBook air is definitely worth the money. The battery life is insane, performance is more than enough for day to day use and it can even handle some heavy tasks without sweat. Updates will keep rolling for years in the future and the fact that there is no fan means there is less points of failure and the need to clean the inside. its so convenient and small too.
Those electrolux ne27 mics or whatever are great and look stunning.
my m1 mac mini is coming tomorrow :)
Same goes with people who get the latest iPhones or Samsungs. If you have a recent version no older than three years, you don’t need the update. Unless of course you’re trying to show off, which we get.
Keep maxed out m1max 16 or sell?
got one for 886 usd just yesterday. crazy value for money
8GB RAM and 256GB SSD?
M1 Max gang where u at? 😂✋️
I have an M1 Pro and it is still running smoothly. Quick. Boots up quick. No lags. Have not freezed up once. I can say this computer will last a few more years. Couldn’t have made a better investment. I jumped from an iMac 2012 and waited until the M1 Pro. Worth the wait.
Although M1 is just fine, thr M2 has way more powerful efficiency cores. If you use power saving mode often like me, M2 could actually make a difference.
what does power saving mode do exactly?
I still love my M1 no need to upgrade for a long while
MKBHD not being hyper consumerist??? I think I’ve now seen everything
The quantum leap will always exist if you are on old hardware for a long time then move over to new hardware.
I cannot wait to get my 12.9” iPad Pro with M2. People say it has minor improvements over the M1. I’m still using my 9.7” iPad Pro from 2016. That will be a huge insane quantum leap for me. Going from an iPad with the minimum multitasking to a power house with dual display support. I can play Xbox game pass on an external display while exporting an HEVC 4K timeline to an external SSD while talking to my brother during the game on FaceTime. Mind Blown 🤯
I went from 2012 MacBook Pro to 2022 m2 MacBook Air last year. I basically had to upgrade because newer versions of Microsoft office wouldn’t work on my old one. The difference was absolutely nuts.
only reason i went with the 14 inch m3 macbook pro is bec i came from a 2019 dell xps and wanted to finally experience the macbook pro. good thing i found the $2400 model (upgraded cpu with 18gb ram and 1tb storage) going for $1950 bec someone returned it after 2 days at best buy lol.
Hard not to think from all the benchmarks and specs that m2 is just a slightly overclocked m1 with slightly different core counts, which means it actually only fills in space between m1 models rather than replacing anything. So why would anyone who sees that crossgrade if they already chose their price/performance level and m2 doesn't improve the price/performance curve, only adds extra options I'm between?
That’s dope I have the m1 Mac book pro love it
I'm typing this on an M1 Mac mini. Such a great device, and really affordable
Can I ask a question ? I see a lot of FB market place sellers who sell brand new in box MacBook Pros M2 Max etc, for up to 1000 dollars off? I wondered if they were Appo employees reselling, they get friends / family 15% discount and passing that saving on to FB buyers? One of them said its his side business. Is there a way people can start a Mac reseller pay for large stock and sell it at huge discounts? Or what else is happening???????
I'm a student in the Data Science field and mine MacBook Pro M1 8GB struggling with opened VS Code and couple Google Chrome tabs opened. Definitely should have bought more RAM. I'm thinking to buy M3 Pro, that will be the laptop for years to come for me.
Macbook Pro M1 Pro is still good option actually. It comes with minimum 16gb of ram
@@PradiptaGitaya thats a lie as I have 8 gb of ram
Just bought M1 air very amazing Katie. No regret and don’t care about dressing at all and got it 512gb 16gb which is way better for the money than any other
Whos Katie?
@@sergiojt😂
Bro it’s $100 extra I’d def recommend anyone buying one brand new get the new one
Honestly I would buy the m1 MBA, but I really love the 15inch display on the new MBA m2. I'm currently using a dell xps 15 and i can't see myself using a smaller screen
bought an m1 MacBook Air for £611 being discounted and using codes. can't fault it best purchase ever
M1 Air is a powerhouse for a small price
I found M1 Air for $899 vs $999 M2 Air $100 difference which one should I go with? I'll be using it for school and video editing. I'm thinking M1 will have everything I need. But for $100 more will it be worth the upgrade?
M2 definitely. You get a couple of extras that are nice with the M2 air.
@everythingreviews3336 what features cause a lot of people are saying don't get the base M2
I’m using a 2019 i9 MacBook Pro w/ 16gb ram. It does well but not great with video production In4k. It stutters at times.
I have a chance to grab an M1 Mac mini 16gb ram / 512 SSD.
Would anybody consider this an a “good” upgrade?
I work with Adobe suite , ps / Lightroom / Final Cut Pro and meta shape software
How long while get supported for new software updates?
If you choose used MacBook, would it be m1 or m2?
I wish PC and Windows had this CPUs... I hate Mac but I need this efficiency
M1 MacBook Air is a beautiful thing. The design is better as well in my opinion.
