      actually he could have done it with a real macbook air like a quad-core of any kind, i5 or i7. I think the base model is too little with its dual-core for a real 2020 review. I mean, come on, today nobody is really interested in purchasing a dual-core pc anymore. But that's just my 2 cents.

      Matteo Castagnotto I’m glad he did the base model i3 bc he took the ‘crappiest’ of the line and pushed it intensely with the 4K. So if it worked out okay in the worst case scenario, you know it would work out for the quad i5

    Your test was the most useful I have seen and I have watched a few videos on this. Everybody else just say you cant do it or it is slow or it heats up. Show me the numbers! Heavy 4k 3:30 video at about 15 mins, I can comprehend that. I think it is perfectly fine for a non professional. Somebody not making money from this has plenty of time to wait 45 mins to render a 10 min video. But that is truly just somebody having fun with it because nobody truly doing serious work can afford a good 4k camera and not a computer to match it. And 4k from your phone is obviously not the same (would love to see you make a video using 4k phone video) and would render pretty easy compared to heavy 4k. Most people buying a 2020 Air probably only have 1080p video equipment anyway.

      I'm watching this because I only intend to do 1080p. And I'll be using iMovie and Screenflow. I'm annoyed that everyone testing this affordable portable is using the $300 editing program and testing with 4k. Anyone doing only 1080p like me for a UA-cam channel isn't going to spend money even on Final Cut Pro.

    Hello, I just wanted to ask you a question. I'm giving my brother the 13" MacBook Pro from 2017, because I just can't stand the keyboard and I prefer a lighter computer, much interested in the new MacBook Air base model i3. However, on occasion, and not often, I do put videos up on UA-cam from iMovie. And also use apps like, 4k video download and DVD ripper...Am I going about doing the right thing by purchasing the new air? Especially since I seldom use those power boosting apps? I should also note, I always delete files and videos from my computer after I am down with them, or I put them on an external hard drive, so that should should help with keeping enough free space. I am about worried though when it comes to those power boosting apps...Will it significantly slow down, say when I share a file or convert some thing on iMovies or dvd ripper? Please let me know what you think. I really want that new air and not the new pro.

    • @Trusteft
      @Trusteft 4 роки тому

      I never used iMovies so I don't know it. It is a more basic editing software and I assume any edits you do will also be that. In that case, you should be fine. Sharing a file doesn't take much resources. DVD ripper...well I haven't ripped a DVD in 20 years...back then it was a demanding job, but with machines which were many times slower than this Air, they could do it. I assume you shouldn't have any such issue either.
      Downloading files won't be an issue either. Just make sure that the SSD it comes with is large enough for your requirements.

    To me, the MacBook Air is capable of music production and a bit of photo editing. I’m a media production student so the Air isn’t for me but I have a friend who studies Sound Production. He uses a 2018 Air with an i5 and he says it’s handled music production well. But an i3 can handle it also because I’ve been using a 2011 iMac with an i3 and 8GB of RAM.
    Basically, buy the Air only if you are going to do basic stuff, light photo editing and/or music production. But get a Pro for intensive workloads.

    I’m looking at the MacBook Air M1. But I’m stuck. Which one would u recommend. I’m using it for basic stuff. But also wanna hook it up to my DJI drone and take videos from it and maybe do some light editing prob no editing at all just for fun for my son and I. Plus we love checking out the trail cams before hunting season. Trying to keep all the photos I take with my iPhone as well which would you recommend?

    Just bought this Macbook Air and so far I love it, I don't edit photos or videos anyways but I just find it funny how nowadays people just seem to have no patience whatsoever with technology. My last laptop was a Macbook Pro 2012 and it is not upgraded (because I just don't know how to and would have to pay someone to do it for me anyways). I just got the battery replaced and the hard drive replaced about 3 and a half years ago, but apart from that everything else is from 2012. That laptop took more than 10 minutes to fully wake up and I had to wait about 3 minutes for apps to stop bouncing only for them to then say that is not responding so I needed to force quit and re-launch them again at least three times. So yeah in total for me to use my old laptop I had to think about turning it on like an hour in advanced cause overall it took one hour for it to run relatively smoothly. Still works, still runs well it was just a pain to wait so much for it to fully wake up and it did fail me quite a bit if I needed to video chat someone which meant that I always had to video chat through my phone which ironically runs faster than this old laptop. So for me this new macbook is fast as lightning lol.

      Are you actually upscaling them or just exporting them in 4K? I have my doubts it's a real upscaling as you can't really do that if all you have is digital 1080p videos.

    Ok I’m glad I found this video, last week I got the MacBook Air Intel Core i3 - 8GB Memory - 256GB. I’ve never had a Mac before and I thought that would good enough for editing in iMovie but I’m having those same issues of freezing playback. I’ve even had to shut down and restart over and over again. It’s super frustrating, I though macs were the best of the best. Is it because it’s i3, or the 8g memory maybe?
    I’m going to contact them to see what options I have. Maybe return it or upgrade it if there’s any option to do so...

      Did Apple support today, they had me restart, try safe mode, restart again...reset some Nvram settings but after about 20 mins or so it starts lagging again. I asked if it had to do with the processor and they still just gave me trouble shoot options and said if it persisted I may need it to be serviced. I might go that route just to have them give me a clear answer. I don’t mind an extra $100 if it’s stops it but if there’s another reason, I want them to figure it out.
