    You have an incredible ability to go straight to what people want to see or learn when they click on your videos. I normally skip at least half the duration time of a video, but I always watch yours almost entirely. And the amazing thing is that not a second is thrown away in useless things, but always used to say something interesting (except for sponsors, but you got me to know about Notion and Skillshare, so it's impossible to complain about anything). You definitely earned your million subscribers.

  • @es5746

    Currently writing this on my base model M1 MacBook Air. It is ridiculous how good it is. For reference I bought the Dell XPS 13 a month or so ago and I had to return two different units because the quality was horrible (bad keyboard, weird screen, bad sound, dead pixels etc...) and I'm so glad I did. I saved nearly $150 by buying this instead and I don't regret it one second. It should be noted that this is my first MacBook ever which probably adds to the wow factor. It is a joy to use.

  • @tbirdparis

    Honestly I think for many people, a main decider is going to come down to the Touch Bar. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple are paying close attention to the sales demand between the two models, to collect some feedback on how desirable the Touch Bar really is. The models are so close in most ways, it's arguably the most consequential difference between the two. The battery life of both models is already so huge an improvement compared to what people are used to, it'll be really telling if more people still choose the Air even if the Pro's lasts longer. Apple have excellent sales data analysts so I'm sure they'll be able to get a decent verdict on how popular or unpopular the Touch Bar is, based on how many people (and which kind of people) choose the Air instead.

    Great to see a UA-camr actually choosing the Pro over the Air and emphasising the importance of battery life. That's a huge deal for me, it's more important even than performance, and it's why I went with the speced out 13 inch over the new 14 inch despite there only being a 200 pound difference and really loving the new display and thin bezels.
    Macbooks are portable devices and the more battery you can squeeze out of a laptop the better the portability will be. Amazon now sells the Pro for about 200 pounds off so it's even harder these days to justify the Air when there's only about a 100 pound price difference between the retail price of the Air and the deals on the Pro.
    2 hours battery life difference is pretty huge, that alone could see your through most flights around Europe. The battery will also age better because as the battery degrades over time, the loss in battery life won't feel as significant on the Pro as it will on the Air

    being a dj, the macbook air in my opinion had the best mic quality because all they did (or whatever they did) was add more bass than mids or highs to the macbook pro, making it sound cheap...

  • @asterix908
    @asterix908 3 роки тому +17

    great review. One small thing I'll point out ... macbook's sound best when kept directly on the surface i.e desk/table etc. Apple designs them to achieve optical reflection of sound from the surface, thereby getting better sound from these tiny speakers. If you keep a mbp on a mba, you're may be downgrading the sound slightly.

    I went for the Pro in the end and I’m glad I did but i completely agree it is definitely only worth it if you’re actually going to stress that CPU with very big workloads. The fans are useful and do come on if you’re really pushing it. Wouldn’t trust the Air with sustained gaming either, with so much running through Rosetta I found the unit’s did heat up, I’d imagine that would be more noticeable on the air

    I think a good choice would be taking the air (cheaper) but upgrade it to 16GB, 512GB. Then you have a price closer to the pro (slightly higher) but with better features. I'm waiting for the M1X this autumn though

    I bought the same one almost exactly for the same reasons. It's been 2 happy months cause I take it everywhere with me (and I mean EVERYWHERE and I'm never home). I basically just take the charger with me to go to my job, for all the rest I don't and battery never dies cause it really lasts many hours. I also plan to start doing podcasts (I used to work on radio) so microphones and audio are important to me. And the fan, I need the fan. I already made it work so hard it got super hot, and the fan doesn't sound at all while working (not like my old macbook pro that sounded so hard hahah)... Greetings from Colombia.

It would be a coincidence to be from a small town, go on vacation to visit your uncle and find out that his neighbor is a close relation to your neighbor back home. Having the same mouse and computer speakers as someone is just straight up expected. Like pulling into a parking space next to a honda civic and going, "Ah!
