    Currently using an M2 15” MacBook Air and it has been amazing so far. Over 1 year of usage daily and everything is amazing, screen, keyboard, speakers are loud and clear, battery lasts me all day, it isn’t heavy to carry around, this is by far the best laptop for 99% of users. Technology is innovating so quick that we get overpowered machines for things that are incredibly simple to do.

      You are right, apple's pricing policy is just absurd. Hopping to M3 Pro MBP with 18gb ram doesn't justify 2150euro price around here. (In official iStyle shops in Belgrade, same Air with 512gb storage retails 2300euro).

    I'm staying with my M1 MBA for now. It's still doing fine for me, though it does have a somewhat annoying dead pixel in the bottom right of the screen (that's been there since shortly after it was new). I spec'ed mine up to 16GB and 500GB of storage when I bought it, and it's still going strong. It could be faster when editing my 42 megapixel RAW images, but it isn't too bad even at that, and given that I'm not a professional who does photo processing/editing all day long, it's perfectly fine for me. I think my next machine will be either the M4 or M5 Macbook Air.

    I’ve got a 2015 MacBook Pro and it’s still holding strong, been a fantastic laptop through university and work life. However, it’s getting old and battery life isn’t the best as expected so I’m after something newer. For intensive tasks I’ve got a high end PC so I’m looking for something lightweight, with a long battery life and still functions as a good computer. All my files are on iCloud so storage isn’t a concern. The baseline MacBook Air M3 or even a discounted m1 air seems like they fit all the criteria and great value for money

      I was in same page as you . But I sold my MBP 2015 This year and I worked in that for 4 years and handled well. I just sold coz I could not travel to another countries with that . I was looking and used for a while the MBP 2019 and honestly I didn't see different for my basic use with adobe stuff. But then I was about to buy the MBP but I travel a lot and after hours of comparative I believe the MBA M3 will be very great update if compared for what I used (and was happy with (MBP 2015)
      I was also concerned about the bright of the screen the MBP M3 Or M4 Has but when I did compare with the MBP 2015 that I was using (and being happy with ) I saw that there is a upgrade of 200 nits. (300 nits vs 500 nits) plus there is P3 instead of sRGB.
      So for my use after so many research I'll go for the MBA M3 24gb abs hopefully 1T instead of 512GB.
      So it all depends of the use but I felt like commenting here coz I can understand how hard is to us to upgrade a MacBook when we were happy with the old good one tho.
      Another note I use iMac 27 5k 2019 and the performance for the MBA M3 and screen will be not lass but same use to better. So again wish u lucky in ur decisions

      Currently using a MBA M3 13 inch upgraded w/ 24 GB RAM and 2 TB HD and that is more than enough for my needs (running Ableton with > 40 tracks containing Kontakt Libraries, CPU hungry VSTs like DIVA). Smooth as butter. The MBA's portability , smaller form factor and weight more than offsets the decrease in power relative to the MBP which feels like a brick in comparison. Honestly, a lot of the benefits of the MBP are irrelevant for music production, like the GPU, screen resolution, etc. The one thing that I was concerned about with the MBA was lack of fan and performance decline with CPU throttling but I've never run into that so far. If your songs are < 50 tracks I'd pick up the MBA for the portability and lower cost. And if you do occasionally go over 50 tracks, you can always manage that with freezing tracks!

    This past September 2024 ( 1st week of September ) I bought a 13" M2 MacBook Air 8GB Memory 256GB SSD on sale at Best Buy for $799.00 ( $200.00 Off ) and received a $350.00 Trade - In for my old MacBook Pro.
    With the sales tax I paid $514.92 out of pocket which I still think is really great buy.
    Now that Apple doubled the memory from 8GB to 16GB I looked into trading up to the 16GB model and can get $500.00 Trade -In credit.
    It's not likely, but if the store would credit the $500.00 Trade - In allowance back to my original form of payment the purchase would basically be a wash and I would not miss out on the 16GB Model.
    If not. I would be losing both the $200.00 saved as well as the $350.00 Trade - In allowance on the sale price.
    I only do basic things i.e. UA-cam videos & email so I probably shouldn't obsess over losing out on double the memory.

      The M4's only different is 2 more cpu cores, 400 more nits in brightness. Everything else is the same only for the base model M3 vs M4. Not worth the upgrade or purchase. Just get a M3 with 16 GB of Ram .

      I would love an oled air to use in a more travel friendly laptop. But I fear it won’t make it to the air for at least 1-2 gens past the pro. Especially not the dual stack 120hz display my iPad has.
      Would be great in a MacBook Pro too of course but I’m favorable to the more stationary 16” pro and I don’t think it would be as important as with a travel/smaller laptop (and my iPad goes with me basically everywhere and that brightness slays).

    Love the video mate. But... you should take a look at your benchmark 'charts'. They give a false idea of the speed difference between the MBA and MBP, because the lines don't start at zero. For instance at 6:28: The MBA line looks like it's about 2/3 of the length of te MBP line. So the MBP looks almost 50% faster in multicore. But it isn't. It's 24% faster in multicore as your saying... Same goes for the single core charts. This way the MBP looks waaay better than MBA, but the difference is not thát big.

I have an M1 Ultra Studio on my desk so my laptop is really for secondary usage and travel and I'm thrilled with the new Air. Also, having acquired it via Apple's Refurbished route, the value equation for me is even better.

    Great video as always. Super informative! One thing I’d note though is that the air isn’t just for people who want good value but that design is a feature in itself. The lightness just makes it “easier” and more accessible to use. I had the M1 Pro MacBook Pro and it was great - screen and speakers, honestly loved it but hated using it on my lap. Sold it and got the MBA and yes I miss the screen and speakers but for me that’s the trade off for it being comfy for me.
