Apple held a virtual event on October 30, 2023, which was dubbed “Scary Fast” The event was focused on the launch of new Mac models. Apple announced the launch of up to four new M3 Macs with a release date of November 8 . The new MacBook Pro M3 Pro is expected to be “scary fast” . The new iMac is expected to feature a larger display and improved performance .
10 month later I still use the M1 Max and there won’t be a reason to upgrade from performance aspect. I will upgrade soon because the M1 generation does not support Nanite in Unreal Engine. M1 Max can still hold up very good in 2024.
Love my M1 MacBook Air and until this one I was not even a laptop fan. I have been looking at the latest M3's and.... I just can't do it. Gonna keep this M1 Air for a few more years, and love the old design of the MacBook air. The new ones look like they are trying to be a Pro model. Keep the old MacBook Air design.... it's what they are known for
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
Purchased the M1 Max December 2021. This computer is a game changer. It is dead silent when working. I did exported a 2 hour video and it was quiet the whole time.
Is it worth switching to apple just for the mac? Stupid question but I'm geniunnely curious as to how good people find the m1 compared to flagship windows
@@unknownwarrior5672depends of what you are doing on your computer, for photo editing, video editing or even coding I really recommend to try m1 Mac. Now you can even play some games on it without issue.
@@unknownwarrior5672 I switched to MacBook due to the M1, two years later never going back to Windows. With that said I did grow up in the 80s using Apple computers, my Dad worked there for a decade+. Once you get used to the OS it's so much better and snappier than Windows.

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.

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.
I presently own and M1 Mini, and M2 pro Mini, and an M1 MacBook Pro. The one thing that bothers me is that they sell an 8 gb version. For anything past word processing and web surfing, it's woefully inefficient. And it's not just me...the only Minis I see for sale used all have 8gb of RAM.
MKBHD! I bought a macbook M1 with 8gb ram and 256gb storage for coding and programming 1 year ago. It started well but now I am in 2nd year of AIML COUSE and almost every single software I have to use is cracked and is not supported well with Mac M1 . So don't recommend M1 rather my friend has M2 and M3 they are optimised well for programming. Also M1 is 5 years old and according to the pace at which the AI is evolving M1 falls behind. Now 1 week ago I bought a Gaming/ performance laptop for CSE aiml and this is very well recommended.
Great machine, althought the build quality of M1 MacBook Airs was not that great. I have this machine for a couple of years and the screen already shows the age. Few spots there and there... Intel Macbooks were more durable to me, like Macbook Pro 2014, but much slower and more expensive.
Yeh and that old laptop still cost way too much. That's the problem with Apple. Aside from the annoying limitations of it, for regular users their great if they were 25% cheaper.
Easy on the koolakd folks. That stuff will rot your teeth. No shade whatsoever, if anything it’s recognition of achievement and stature. There isn’t much, if anything, Marques pays for out of pocket, especially tech wise. That being said, part of his schtick and appeal as a creator is his homegrown, down to earth, sometimes no frills attitude. Someone who came from very modest beginnings and even in the midst of a tech revolution, with new products, categories and inventions being thrown at him from every angle, he never forgets to remind viewers that he would be perfectly fine with device A, or laptop B, or smartwatch C from 5 years ago…then you come to realize that he spec out a laptop from Apple with $20K worth of add ons, just because the website gave hub the option to, and then going on to tell us that while this would never be something that would be ordered and used by the everyday consumer, he isn’t an everyday consumer, and for that reason he needs to constantly remind you that he can click buttons on configurators like it’s a video game and he’s using play money. Which he technically is….
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.
Can’t lie, Apple did a fantastic job with the M1 like of MacBooks. They’re fucking fantastic for everything other than gaming. I’m a film major so I do heavy video editing and I have the M1 MacBook Pro 16” and it’s so fucking good! Handles Premiere Pro with no problem, along with Photoshop, Lightroom, and After Effects. It’s a beast. But for gaming def stick to PC or consoles. Other than that, this line of MacBooks are just insane
Can you please link me to where I can purchase the exact one he's talking about? I produce music for a living, do you think it will be sufficient? Thank you.
So the entry level M1 Air is fine for editing video? And when you say "miles better", you're saying an M1 MacBook Air edits video more smoothly than an i9 with an AMD graphics card?
if apple put real cooling in their laptops their wouldnt be such a big leap, you hav get a 13th gen rtx 3070 laptop for the price of the m1 macbook pro
If you could upgrade your old MacBooks chips. Like an SoC Upgrade for MacBooks. Could be done by Apple. But the markup at cost of environment and basically the future of our children is better for apple.

I think apple will hate themselves for this later on. the M line is so good right now that upgrading year over year doesn't make sense. Not a single time have I thought oh my M1 Pro is getting slow, let me get the M2 pro
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???????
My 2011 1st gen Air just died today. Between the m2 and m1 now. I vibe with the M2 design and plan to do lots of photo and a little video editing. I’m still torn though. The refurb 2022 m2 air in midnight is calling my name rn
I don't understand why apple thinks people will shell out another 1k dollars for a marginally better laptop every year. if I buy something, I wanna stick with it for as long as possible, of course until the manufacturers decide to push out updates to slow down the hardware. smh
They don't expect most to shell out that type of money, because most that have MacBooks use them for long periods of time (about 5-7 generations at the least). My 15" 2014 MacBook still worked fine on Big Sur despite the battery so worn down that it would lose battery while being charged. It still can run well on its top OS, it just now is officially unsupported for any new OS. Plus when Apple switched to Big Sur, Intel Macs saw a boost in performance as well, so, they still are running great, if not better than the OS designed for Intel parts. Apple's biggest fuck over was with the mobile market, which they intentionally slowed down their phones. For their computers, they are almost the opposite. Only computers that have 4-8GB of RAM suffer from updates, and that applies to PCs as well. Gaming on PC has been a constant battle of specs in recent years, and yet it still remains the best option for gaming if you are willing to spend the money.
It’s a weird situation where I agree, but it’s hilarious still seeing m3 people going on insta predominantly on there devices… it’s sad that people see power and use barely a percentage of it, I’m cool with my 4 year old Mac Pro and I’ll use it for another 5 years before I even think of switching if it dosent burst into flames or if there is a generational leap to quantum computing hahahaha
The m2 MacBook Air is ok….. I bought the 15 inch for the bigger screen but coming from the m1 MacBook Pro which I still use everyday… this MacBook, has more issues than that one. WiFi issues, I realized after a while that I couldn’t use it the same way I did the pro with the fans! It’s less powerful than the m1 PRO for sure. Of course it’s an air… I like it for the screen and the new design… but that’s literally all.
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.
Yes it can?! Hell I have the base model, and 4k videos get edited fine. If you’re saying it handle a complex timeline with multiple different effects and elements stacked on top of each other then I agree with you.

Great machine, althought the build quality of M1 MacBook Airs was not that great. I have this machine for a couple of years and the screen already shows the age. Few spots there and there...
Intel Macbooks were more durable to me, like Macbook Pro 2014, but much slower and more expensive.
Getting an m1 in 2024 🤙
How did that go? I'm looking into buying a new laptop and still confused on what to get
Is upgrading the iOS will be an issue on m1s ??
Same here. I have a pro m1. No need to upgrade in next few years. I already have the m1 for 2+ years
I am looking to purchase a Pro M1 16gb. Is this ram capacity is enough for Xcode development & MEAN stack development ?
How's your battery health? Mine was degraded to 85% in just 390 cycles.
@@Shubham89453 Really ?
@@Shubham89453 Mine still at 100%
@@contemplator1993 Yes 😭
Two of my friends upgrades from m1 to m2 and I constantly see them shouting in front of their laptops. One of them got their m1 back from their dad.
I'd still recommend the M1 MBP over the air, seeing how big the cooling and battery gulf is.
They dont sell them new anymore sadly
@@Bckner they do. I think they call them M2 MBPs now.
@@kenshinbattousai374 arent those more money tho?
Do you mean the m1 MacBook Pro 13 inch specifically?
@@Bckner they're discounted since the M3 came out and now the M4 is coming to the macbook pro later this year... so the M3 will be the new M1
Still using my base m1 air and it's not slowing down anytime soon. Damn this laptop is really worth thre price.
Yeh and that old laptop still cost way too much. That's the problem with Apple. Aside from the annoying limitations of it, for regular users their great if they were 25% cheaper.
I would stick to it too if I spent $8000, because he definitely got it maxed out
I've just installed Linux Mint on an old Macbook Air (2017). It is a quantum leap ahead in performance without needing to buy a new laptop.
Watching this on my M1 Air, I love it everyday
Best school computer by a mile
All these comments want to make me go m1. $750 vs $1099 do I need to spend $349 more?? 😭😭
no
$699 at Walmart and $649 at Costco now.
Bro I can’t find any
helps sticking to an M1 max macbook when u have an m1 ultra mac studio already but okay lol
When the godfather of tech speaks, you listen 👀
Easy on the koolakd folks. That stuff will rot your teeth. No shade whatsoever, if anything it’s recognition of achievement and stature. There isn’t much, if anything, Marques pays for out of pocket, especially tech wise. That being said, part of his schtick and appeal as a creator is his homegrown, down to earth, sometimes no frills attitude. Someone who came from very modest beginnings and even in the midst of a tech revolution, with new products, categories and inventions being thrown at him from every angle, he never forgets to remind viewers that he would be perfectly fine with device A, or laptop B, or smartwatch C from 5 years ago…then you come to realize that he spec out a laptop from Apple with $20K worth of add ons, just because the website gave hub the option to, and then going on to tell us that while this would never be something that would be ordered and used by the everyday consumer, he isn’t an everyday consumer, and for that reason he needs to constantly remind you that he can click buttons on configurators like it’s a video game and he’s using play money. Which he technically is….
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.
I own a Macbook air M1. It's the only laptop I'll need for a long while.
He knows like we all do Apple upgrade prices are not worth it. Price gouging at its finest
Still rocking an original IBM Thinkpad for remote work 😅
Most boring reviewer on UA-cam hands down.
I have that exact Apple M1 Air. It's perfert as a daily driver.
Can’t lie, Apple did a fantastic job with the M1 like of MacBooks. They’re fucking fantastic for everything other than gaming. I’m a film major so I do heavy video editing and I have the M1 MacBook Pro 16” and it’s so fucking good! Handles Premiere Pro with no problem, along with Photoshop, Lightroom, and After Effects. It’s a beast. But for gaming def stick to PC or consoles. Other than that, this line of MacBooks are just insane
Can you please link me to where I can purchase the exact one he's talking about? I produce music for a living, do you think it will be sufficient? Thank you.
So the entry level M1 Air is fine for editing video? And when you say "miles better", you're saying an M1 MacBook Air edits video more smoothly than an i9 with an AMD graphics card?
Doesn't make sense
if apple put real cooling in their laptops their wouldnt be such a big leap, you hav get a 13th gen rtx 3070 laptop for the price of the m1 macbook pro
You’re not suppose to upgrade a laptop every 3 years or whatever
Spot on! I am still rocking the M1 mac book pro and I don’t think I’ll buy anything till the SSD chips die.
Same, I can be editing 4K video, doing something in photoshop and have a stupid amount of tabs open and it’s never skipped a beat!
The M1 can do anything the M2 can. But $200 extra, thats not too bad actually.
$100 now. After the 15 inch MBA came out they reduced the 13 inch by $100 and the 15 starts at $1299. With m1 at $999
If you could upgrade your old MacBooks chips. Like an SoC Upgrade for MacBooks. Could be done by Apple. But the markup at cost of environment and basically the future of our children is better for apple.
What laptop should you get?
Video and photography = mac
Programming and development (excluding ios dev) = windows
Basic web browsing & light document work = windows or chromebook
Best machine to do just about everything = windows
Sudo nerds = Linux
Ableton Live actually performs better on M1 pro, compared to m2 and m3 pros.

Pristine, like-new M1 Pro 14" refurbished models are going for around $1240 these days. Well-worth the price.
I bought my 2016 pro 15 inch with 16gb ram. 4 usb ports. 600 dollars. That 1200 dollars sounds excessive for a small screen laptop.
@@victorfernandes83 Perhaps. To each their own :)
with an lcd low refresh rate? slow intel inside? @@victorfernandes83
My wife and I are still using M1 MacBook airs. Literally no reason to upgrade they do everything perfectly.
I got 2 M1 2019 MacBook Air’s love it
The M2 MacBook Air is worth the extra $100 if you want the improved display, webcam, speakers, and MagSafe charger.
You want to buy on Student discount? Same question here😂
That’s all I needed to hear: m1 MacBook Air.
You’re advice always worked 4me
MKBHD not being hyper consumerist??? I think I’ve now seen everything
I think apple will hate themselves for this later on. the M line is so good right now that upgrading year over year doesn't make sense. Not a single time have I thought oh my M1 Pro is getting slow, let me get the M2 pro
That's were planned software obsolescence comes in. Ever felt like your phone is getting slower? They were accused before and might do it again.
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???????
699 entry level is still a solid buy in 2024
My 2011 1st gen Air just died today. Between the m2 and m1 now. I vibe with the M2 design and plan to do lots of photo and a little video editing. I’m still torn though. The refurb 2022 m2 air in midnight is calling my name rn
m1 first hand would be better than refurb
M1 MacBook Air is a beautiful thing. The design is better as well in my opinion.
M1 899 euro / M2 is 1069 euro / M3 1349 euro .. all base model, which one should I buy ?
M2
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.
The M1 is a tank cant blame him
I don't understand why apple thinks people will shell out another 1k dollars for a marginally better laptop every year. if I buy something, I wanna stick with it for as long as possible, of course until the manufacturers decide to push out updates to slow down the hardware. smh
They don't expect most to shell out that type of money, because most that have MacBooks use them for long periods of time (about 5-7 generations at the least).
My 15" 2014 MacBook still worked fine on Big Sur despite the battery so worn down that it would lose battery while being charged. It still can run well on its top OS, it just now is officially unsupported for any new OS.
Plus when Apple switched to Big Sur, Intel Macs saw a boost in performance as well, so, they still are running great, if not better than the OS designed for Intel parts.
Apple's biggest fuck over was with the mobile market, which they intentionally slowed down their phones. For their computers, they are almost the opposite. Only computers that have 4-8GB of RAM suffer from updates, and that applies to PCs as well. Gaming on PC has been a constant battle of specs in recent years, and yet it still remains the best option for gaming if you are willing to spend the money.
He’s absolutely right, I actually needed that lol thanks.
It’s a weird situation where I agree, but it’s hilarious still seeing m3 people going on insta predominantly on there devices… it’s sad that people see power and use barely a percentage of it, I’m cool with my 4 year old Mac Pro and I’ll use it for another 5 years before I even think of switching if it dosent burst into flames or if there is a generational leap to quantum computing hahahaha
Bro it’s $100 extra I’d def recommend anyone buying one brand new get the new one
Same! Not upgrading until Face ID is in the notch!
The m2 MacBook Air is ok….. I bought the 15 inch for the bigger screen but coming from the m1 MacBook Pro which I still use everyday… this MacBook, has more issues than that one. WiFi issues, I realized after a while that I couldn’t use it the same way I did the pro with the fans! It’s less powerful than the m1 PRO for sure. Of course it’s an air… I like it for the screen and the new design… but that’s literally all.
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.
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.
seeing this on my M3 Mac, this thing is incredible.
God, the consumerism is getting out of hand.
The m1 wasn’t that long ago !!
M1 air cant even handle a 4k video lmao
Yes it can?! Hell I have the base model, and 4k videos get edited fine. If you’re saying it handle a complex timeline with multiple different effects and elements stacked on top of each other then I agree with you.
It literally can
i think u bought that from second hand or thief
The only downside I found was the inability to use multiple monitors without DisplayLink.
I have the M1 base MacBook Pro and it's a beast. I never think about needing to upgrade.
The m2 base model had a worse hard drive than the m1 base. So it’s performance was often worse.
«I just save myself a hundred fifty buuckkss»
My M1 Mac Mini is the best computer I’ve ever used! I just hope Apple doesn’t brick it like my 2012 MBP.
