Great video! I exclusively use Microsoft office (Word, Outlook, Excel, Powerpont) on my base m1 MacBook pro and it’s amazing. Very fast loading up multiple tabs of the same app and even using auto sync (OneDrive) is smooth.
The first time I open any of the Office apps after a restart, it takes longer to open the apps. After that first open, any subsequent open is as fast as seen here. Most people forget that Word and Excel were written for Mac first before the advent of Windows.
Actually, they all have been working fine through Rosetta as well. I haven’t noticed a real difference. The M1 is great! I did not intend to use my Mac for Office, but it so much faster than Windows.
"Name another way this happens on any other computer" (in regards to the start up speed of all the programs) Well... That's normal on any somewhat recent windows machine with a decent SSD and either an up to date windows 10 or 11. The start up speed for ALL of those programs is under 2 seconds. If I edited a huge excel file on a different machine or in a browser before and just started the computer (so it didnt have time to cache it via onedrive yet) it might take 2.5 or 3 seconds to catch the current versions of the most recent files but other than that the office suite opens just as fast on windows as well. This is NOT exclusive to M1 Macs. I just checked it on several machines (multiple laptops and desktops) with a variety of Intel and AMD CPUs and they all easily open in under 2 seconds. And no, none of those programs run smoother on MacOS with an M1 chip than on any somewhat decent windows machine. In both cases they run very, very smooth. If you don't know that this is normal I recommend to you to check out any modern windows machine (regardless of whether its AMD or Intel) and you might be surprised that it's totally different from the old Intel Macs.
🐬 I use Teams, Word, Excel, Outlook, OneDrive, OneNote the most on my MBP 16" 2019, iPad Pro M1 11", iPad mini 6, and iPhone 13 Pro. It does what I need but every now and then I run into small Excel issues. I have not tried any speed tests tbh. My MBP was configured with 2.6GHz i7, 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM, and only TB3 ports. I am not a power user by no means, experienced no issues when I use the other above apps. Most of the time my iPad Pro is near. I split Outlook and Teams on the MBP and use everything on the iPads. 🐬
I like how he uses the baseline models to do the reviews. Many of other reviewers usually go with the high end models and they show us how those models are better than others. Well everybody know the fact that you will get a hell of a powerful device if you are heavier on your pocket. But not everyone can afford to spend 2000 bucks on a laptop.
The baseline models are not only cheaper, they also offer more value per dollar. You pay €700 or €1000 for an entire Mac and for just upgrading the RAM (only one component in the machine), Apple asks €230 extra... Not that upgrading RAM is a bad idea, but it comes with a really high price.
I just tried it on this Intel laptop (i9-10900K, 32GB RAM, nVidia RTX 2080 Super). The fans didn't start, and the apps were loaded up each in about 3 seconds.
but in overall microsoft office has limited version for mac as compared to windows there are many basic features in windows version which are totally missing in MAC version
@@ppookkaaii actually, they are a lot. For instance in Microsoft Excel the MS Excel on Windows is far superior to Mac version. I'm sure Microsoft intentionally did that to keep Windows in competition for their suites. Functions like Ribbon tables are missing on the mac version, Power Query on Mac is total garbage compared to Windows. A lot of command keys don't work on Mac either
I use MS office all day at work, but at home easily get by with the Apple apps. Sometimes I email work docs to my iPad to do things much easier in Pages. Since pivot tables came to Numbers I do not need Excel, and prefer Keynote to Powerpoint.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2019 iMac with Intel i5. It does take some time for the Microsoft apps to open, but since I’m retired I typically only use Word. I would like to move up to an M1 chip, but not certain the price is worth my 15 to 30 seconds for the Word App to open in a couple of seconds. Maybe someday. Thanks again. You always have great topics.
Lets just be fair. Word in Windows is WAY more fluid to edit documents, because of the lacks os some "small" but HUGE in quality of use features. For example, on mac you can't have the CTRL + space bar to remove text formatting.
I'm using MS Office as well. Had it on my Air which I traded in for an M1 Pro MBP and recently got a base studio. Once open they have been opened things in less than a second. But all of mine take about 5 seconds to launch after a reboot because it' "verifies xxx app". If I have opened them since rebooting, even when closed, they launch as quick as you show in the video. So the app loads amazingly fast but first time for me it takes a few seconds to connect to some MS authentication site. I haven't had any of them crash though, very stable, much faster on my Macs than on Windows.
I've been thinking of going from my old Lenovo w520 with 24gb of RAM and early i7 processor to a Mac Studio. All my office apps like Excel, Word, Outlook all open in less than 2 seconds. Makes me wonder if I should just run the old Lenovo into the ground or, when it's out of support and jump ship. My Lenovo has been amazingly problem free for 10+ years now, and is still running like it did when I bought it. Decisions, decisions.....
Will this be a regular series, with each new generation of chips? 🐬 I'd be interested in a 'what's on my Mac' video. I plan to get the new baseline MS Air, when I can!
Hola Sergio, una consulta: ¿que diferencia existe entre la versión de excel para Windows y Mac?, es decir, ¿solo cambia un poco la interfaz, o existe alguna otra diferencia relevante?. Quedo atento y muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos con la comunidad.
I have an Intel-based MacBook Pro 15" mid-2014 (yes, 9 years old) that I use every day for work. When I REopen a Microsoft application (like it is done in this video, i.e.: not the first launch after booting the computer), for example Excel or PowerPoint, it takes between 2 or 3 seconds. And my Mac does not become noisy. Since I will eventually need to change my computer (in a few months or, hopefully, a few years), I wanted to know if Microsoft applications are now running better on the latest Macs or on Windows machines. So I was expecting some answers to the question "Does Office 365 Works Better On M1 Macs Than Windows?", which is literally the title of this video. I am a bit disappointed that it does not deliver.
The office 2021 suite for Mac has a big bug. Holding command key and double clicking words doesn’t allow multiple selections as it should (I can only select one word at a time) (this is not the click, hold, and drag method of selecting multiple words). Anyone know how to fix this bug? Secondly, the edit text toolbar doesn’t pop up above the mouse cursor after I select text. What other features are missing I’m starting to wonder. This is not the same exact version pc has.
I know this video is a year old at this point, but Office for the Mac was horrible back then and it remains horrible to this day. The Windows versions of all Office apps are so much better and so much faster, there is no comparison. And I'm NOT a Windows guy....I've been using Macs for years. But when I want to run Office on my Mac, I fire up a Windows VM in Parallels and run it there. When you can't do something as simple and fundamental to email functionality as create a custom distribution list in the "new" version of Outlook for the Mac, something is definitely wrong (this feature was supposed to start rolling out in June of 2023 and has now been pushed to September of 2023). Also, "Send to OneNote" from the Mac Outlook client has been broken for YEARS. If you have more than a few thousand files on your OneDrive storage, it will fail every time because of a known and documented bug that MS has yet to fix. Their workaround is to clear out your OneDrive folders. Seriously?!? Yet on Windows, this feature works perfectly every time, regardless of the number of files you have in OneDrive. Microsoft really needs to get Office for the Mac feature complete at this point and at least have a modicum of parity with the Windows version.
I have exactly the same problem with my Mac Air M1, it takes way much more time to open office programs than the one shown in the video (or even comparing it to an exhibition of Mac Air M1s at stores), for example, it takes 13 icon jumps (11 seconds) to open Outlook. I've already reset the Mac to factory settings and installed the Microsoft 365 suite from the app store, and I still have the same slow opening issue. If anyone knows what the issue could be, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
Question, is it still possible to do a partition and install Windows on a Mac? And if so, would the Microsoft products work seamlessly by doing it? Thank you Fernando 🐬
Great video. Thank you. My question is; since I can download Outlook from MS365, does this mean I then have the desktop version of Outlook on my Mac? And,does this mean my Outlook data will be (or can be) stored locally on my Mac? Or, must that data be stored online or in OneDrive? Hopefully, I have the option of keeping that data locally since I often don’t have Wi-Fi access but still need to work in Outlook. Thanks
Hi , when i right click to paste text on windows i get many options in word , also when i highlight a text in word i get pop up text customization options on unlike mac which does nothing when you select a text, any change of getting same options?
Can I organize my folders using cool icons/photos? Or to change folder colors? How do I do that? I wanna add colorr and creativty. I am subscribed to Enterprise. Thank you!
How do you download an app that is not compatible with monterey? Am getting the same msg when am trying to get the whatsapp app and its saying i have to instal rosetta ? Any thoughts?
Well... I've just started Word on my Windows device and it took less than a second to load. Just saying... Update: I've also started Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook and they all loaded in less than 2 secs.
Thanks so much for this video!! I am considering buying the baseline model MacBook Air like the one in this video. Do you think this laptop will suffice for a college laptop throughout my 4 years. I’m not planning on doing much other than schoolwork (assignments, essays, UA-cam) and possibly some streaming services every once in a while. Would the baseline model be enough for this or do you suggest I get a model with more ram/storage? 🐬🐬
if you use office on mac then you clearly don't know how to use office. Office on Mac is so far behind that I run office on a virtualised machine on my mac
Who cares if it opens .4 seconds faster. Word on Mac is garbage bc u cant minimize multiple 8-9-10 documents in a taskbar w thumbnails and jump around between them.
Paying 100 $ per year fow writing text on pc ? It's joke from microsoft? :) apple has much more better office named works (pages, numbers, keynote) and it's much cheaper.

Office for macOS has more bugs than for Windows. Once I experienced bugs on wrapping text functionality on Word & never come back to mac for Office.

Office apps from Mac App store vs Office portal? Which one should I purchase and download from on my Mac
Hello professor.
Microsoft 366 is not working on MacBook pro.
The response was because macOS version 11 or is required
Excellent review.

How does excel compare on Mac OS vs Windows
That's right, but you didn't say that Power Pivot in Excel doesn't work on macOS, not on Intel, not on M1
Does M365 work well on the MacBook Air M2? Or should I just get the M1 version?
Please respond asap 😊

My M1 mini is quick with the exception of Excel. My 6 year old i5 handles my pivot tables much easier
You think it be the same for the m2 chip ?
Wish they put more effort into Onenote
On my m2 air first start after booting takes up to 10 seconds to launch ms office applications
