Bought m1 air and I am really happy with it. Its my first MacBook and tbh I didn't considered it to be this good. The performance, the battery and everything else is quite great!
@chaitanya-iq7kk i bought the base model . Honestly if you wanna buy it for coding, then Go for 16gb Ram variant. As I own two laptops, one Mac and one windows. The 8gb variant in M1 is just not enough for coding especially when you gonna run docker containers and stuff. 16gb would be good though
I Just randomly came across this video, and I'm surprised to see that this is one of the underrated channel on youtube. Doing great job, I'm sure that, with consistency very soon you will hit 100k subscribers. Best of luck. And thankyou for your honest feedback
I use 3-4 browsers at the same time & multitasking too!! I switched over to m3 air from m1 air... M3 is surprisingly faster than m1, I can feel it , It is snappier!! Worth upgrading ❤
Depends on your use case. Unless you are a heavy user (e.g video editor) the M2 with higher RAM will be a better device. If money isn’t a constraint, you can get the M3 with the 512 and think of the extra amount as an investment that is spread over the 3-5 years you will use the laptop at least. Hope this helps!
For very very heavy editing and large exports - I'd actually get a pro or a given it's fan cooled and can deal with sustained workloads. But for most editing - an M2 or even an M1 works great - which is the budget option. (If it helps, MKBHD does his editing on the go on an M2 Air:). Good luck!
I'm planning to buy the MacBook Air M2 (8GB RAM, 256GB storage) for daily tasks like learning new skills, watching UA-cam, and working on Excel sheets. Will this be sufficien for these tasks?or should i go with m3 air base model??? In uae only 8000 - 10000 inr rupees difference while buying macbook
For these tasks you won’t feel any difference. However if the price difference is so less than why not buy the M3 which will be more future proofed in 5-7 years!
Sir, I've been using the m1 laptop for two years as my secondary editing laptop. I use a PC for my vfx work and editing work, but a couple days ago, my m1 laptop screen got some issues and the service center said the repair would cost 40-45k, so I think I should update my macbook, so which is better - the m2 or the m3?
Hi I wanted to buy a MacBook for MBA studies and future uses. I really liked the 15inch air but sadly that model isnt available on apple site in m2 variant Also I am a bit worried about 8gb ram being bottleneck in coming years, as my windows laptop is almost consuming 8gb ram. My budget is flexible. Which one should i get considering future proofing and maybe later years doing some video editing and photo editing. 1. MacBook air M3 15 inch 16/256 @ 1.54 lakhs 2. MacBook Air M3 13 inch 16/256 @ 1.35 lakhs 3. Macbook Air M2 13 inch 16/256 @ 1.19 lakhs Ps. I recently bought Samsung T7 shield 2TB ssd so storage isnt an issue. Thanks 😁
Looks like you got a lot of help from the community already ❤️ I’d say yes invest in more ram if you can. Since you want a 15 inch MacBook, then yes the M3 is the official option. You could also look at third party websites for the M2 15 inch, or get it from another country?
Hey nice review but i need a suggestion should i buy M2 air 512gb or just 256gb with external 1TB i need laptop just to do basic college projects and writing stuffs 🤔
@@akshay.goenka No actually i was just worried about single ssd in 256gb will i face any slow transfer problem if i just do day to day basic stuffs or pairing with external ssd would make a cut
It’s slower, but not unusable. If you do some heavy multi tasking (compiling, exporting etc) then the swap memory will be slower. But for everyday tasks and basic file transfers sometimes - it’s not a big deal. Created tech has a great video on this specific issue you can check out if helpful
Lastly i had used macbook air 2017 model and had been using it for 3 year after that it broke am thinking to buy a m2 instead of m1 would be good to buy the m2 base model or invest some more money in m1 and spec it a bit what do you think. I am an student and i need a laptop which one would you prefer base model m2 or a bit spec m1?
Depends on your budget really. M1 is a great deal in 2024 - see my full video on it if needed. Only downside really is slightly older wedge shape design (which is pretty iconic - I still miss it), and it will not get OS updated after 3-4 years - which is pretty long.If you have a higher budget - spec up the M2 - that’s even more future proofed
I was considering buying the m1 air. But now that it has been discontinued, I am concerned that I may not get support from apple after 3- 4 years . Any inputs on this concern?
I am a current user of MBP 2020 intel 16gb ram. Due to summers it hangs a ton! This is a company provided laptop. For my personal use which will involve development work that is having 10-15 tabs open + code editor + spotify + terminal and maybe 2 more apps. Will MBA m1/m2 8gb survive this? Or should I go ahead with windows 16gb i7 13th gen 4050 rtx ? Both are for similar price. Getting MBA m2 at 84k while windows @ 77k
If you are very budget conscious the M1 is still a great choice while stocks last (see my full video if helpful). However the main considering is it may have 3-4 years of updates to the OS left (which is not a massive deal - all your stuff will still work for a few years beyond that!). If you can spare a bit more - get the M2 with higher SSD/RAM vs getting the M3.
Both of them can do the job. The ecosystems and application compatibility are very different though. What are the you solving for? Do you use other Apple products?
@@akshay.goenka i have an apple ecosystem atm. i had an intel macbook pro and wanted to make an upgrade now. I would have gotten another pro but i feel that im getting better specs for the same price in a windows machine..
@@ishaanshrikantkulkarni4660 I see. But can you help me understand, if you are getting the same specs for the same price - then why consider windows? Was there something lacking in your experience with the Macbook? Overall I'd say that for you, the HP Omen 16 would be a better gaming laptop, have old USB A ports for compatibility, and you'll probably be able to spec it up more on a RAM/SSD basis. If you use excel or any windows based applications - it will be a better experience. However, the Macbook Air would be a great choice for portability, all day battery and good integration with your other apple products. Both would do a good job with development, but a mac has generally been a favoured developer laptop as I'm sure you know. It comes down to your past experience with the mac - if it was good, and you aren't a big gamer - stick with it! If you are, you can consider switching :)
I’d say both are pretty good. If you have the money then of course go for an M3 512 - these things are an investment. If not - the M2 512 will work wonders
I just have a doubt, should i purchase m1 or m2? I'll be doing web development and system designs. I don't want to make any kind of content, so camera won't be an issue for me. I mean for doing such tasks, can m2 really provide considerable difference?
Just bough m1 yesterday and I am really loving it. Though if you wanna go for web dev and system design i would recommend a 16gb model. I do it for my cybersec works and it works fine but if you planning to run containers and stuff i highly recommend 16gb model. Its gonna be 1lakh 8 thousand though with student discount.

I’d wait. The spec upgrades will be more valuable than the processors upgrade. However the base model with 256 GB SSD has only one module - so can be a bit slow for data transfers on the physical hard drive. If you mostly work online and on the cloud then no issue. Else would upgrade your M2 spec to 512GB SSD
