Thank you for this, can you do some estimates doing 2D animations using the air?
Thanks!
Can you tell me which laptop is the best for motion graphic and 3d?
For someone who does want to learn animation sometime down the road but has a studio would the MacBook Air be a good choice for remote work when I don’t want to be in my office?
i worked with a lot of apps running like photoshop, illustrator, and 10+tabs of chrome. my design file usually running at 2gb, but still under 5gb. i often times connect my mbp 2020 intel i5 (16gb, 512gb) to external monitor. does the m2/m1 air suitable for that workload? thanks!!
How long does its battery last using Photoshop?
Whata nice video 👊🏽
Could you make same test with macbook air m1 + studio display 🤩🤩
I’ve started working with Photoshop on my M1 model & I haven’t had any problems at the moment.
you shouldn't have any
Can I ask yours is 16GB or 8GB?
is it as laggy as Photoshop 2024 on Windows 11?
my laptop has Ryzen 7 5600, gtx 1650, ssd nvme 1tb, 32 GB ram, and it's laggy when doing large Photoshop file with hundred layers.
well, my Mac Studio m1 ultra handles 3D stuff quite good...
Hello!! Wow this video comes to me at the exact time, I'm a graphic designer and I'm thinking of upgrading my MacBook (mid-2012), I've been watching video after video about which model can be more accessible because I'm in Latin America. I prefer MacBook air M2 (for many reasons, among them its portability since it is crucial for workflow) but I needed to see how they behaved with the actual use of design programs, and the result I see with the M1 is good, so I assume with the M2 must be equal to or better. Recently I have recently had to work with files with similar sizes and weights up to 3.5GB in photoshop. Although I have been able to finish the arts with my 2012 MacBook, it took a long time to finish tasks such as saving and resizing the image, this and other things have made me decide to renew the MacBook. Thank you for all the videos and design information you share, your content is precious for designers.
Greetings from Venezuela👋👋
The m2 is a wonderful machine, go for it! I also had the mid 2012 and I upgraded last year to the M1. The m2 is more powerful so definitely a good buy!
@@designthescenes @eloy I am in the same boat. I need to install Photoshop and have purchased their CC subscription but found out Photoshop versions are not supported in Mac OS Catalina and i need to upgrade to Big Sur.
How did you manage to run Photoshop in 2012 macbook? What kind of license and version worked with Catalina?
Hello, I’ve been trying to choose between 8 and 10 gpu mba m2 (16ram/512ssd). I’m a multimedia design student and I’m going to use my laptop mainly for figma, photoshop and illustrator. Which one should I get and do you think it will be enough for 2023 or I should go for the m1 MacBook Pro 14 ? Thank you in advance! Keep up the good content!!
Been following your design videos for awhile, very useful and mind-opening tips. Thank you. One question, does this M1 Air still works well in editing videos on Adobe Premiere Pro?
Yes it does, in fact I do all the work for UA-cam in premiere ; )
Hi! Thanks for the video.
Can someone please tell what the specs of your MBA is?
16gb RAM, 1tb SSD
My budget is low. Around 800 doller which laptop is best for Grafix design?
What about MacBook m1 8/256 variation?
Badly need your advise. Please reply.
256 is not enough
Hello!
Cool video, thanks !
In the video, are you using a macbook with 8 gb or 16 gb RAM?
16gb, 1tb ssd
@@designthescenes How about 8 gb base model ? is enough doing things like above ?
@@JuangMahmud8 gb of ram is not even close enough to run things smoothly like in the video.
Thank you for a very detailed and clear explanation.
Do you think the MBA M2 (16GB/512SSD) will also keep performing well for Graphic Design (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.)?
My son is starting design courses (college) and I was thinking of buying one for him.
Thanks, Amir
Absolutely yes, that computer is even better 👌
Hey! I'm Graphic Designer. I'm not on a high budget I'm thinking about 2020 M1 256GB, 8GB Ram Macbook Air. Yeah I know 256gb going to be main problem. But what about other things? Will it be good running Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier pro with it? I'm not expecting best PC but I want it to be solid and long lasting for my graphhic design projects. I mean I'm using now Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with NVIDIA GeForce® GTX 1650; 4GB, AMD Ryzen Mobile Processor so I just want that Macbook Air 13 256gb 8GB RAM to be more smooth and better with ADOBE programs than my Lenovo
So what did u got? Or decided ?
@@meraki5431 never purchased mac yet. But heard from some people that Macbook 2020 m1 is still not perfect selection for graphic design. Some of other people offers better to buy any other regular PC with good CPU and Graphic card for that money and you can get much better deal
Thanks for the videos, i watched like all about your m2 and m1 video performance for photoshop yet cant decide what mba should i pick 😢
I mainly use photoshop daily (5-8hours) for a bit of social media post, artboard, and any ‘not really heavy’ psd files
But eventually i also work on like 2gb or more psb files with 300dpi extra canvas size or huge 6m banner in 72dpi
Based on your videos i watched, id rather have to buy at least 8/512 for longetivity or 16/256 for productivity (extra web tabs, multi apps opened) or even better at 16/512 (which i hardly afford for extra 400 in my country)
Really appreciate if u could suggest which i should buy
- save my pocket with 8/256 cause its enough for my workload
- mba with 8/512 for extra ssd speed for longetivity
- mba with 16/256 for future proof and productivity
Consideration :
- i have desktop for any hardwork process and i need mba for office mobility
- i have ssd external where i usually put my source files
- price of m1 upgrade is similar to m2 upgrade in my country cause we dont really have apple store
Thankyou in advance 🙏🏻
simply dont get anything that is 256, that is a mistake you will regret. Start at 512ssd. M1 will save you some money and performance wise for photoshop is practically the same as m2.
@@designthescenes so practically on my workload 8gigs is sufficient enough?
Thanks for the answer! Happy holiday anyway!
@@kenzkunz no 16gb is better, but 256ssd is useless... if it goes too high in price I would aim for M1 AIR 16gb Ram 512 ssd, or simply macbook Pro 14 inches with 512ssd.
Thanks! Appreciate your kindness to respond during holiday ⭐️
ssd is most important and higher ram is better on my workload if i could afford it
Sadly apple price is kinda frustrating in my country
M1 16/512 price currently as high as M2 16/512 here
M2 8/512 converted to dollar will go high as $1500 and M1 is about $1350
M2 16/512 is around $1800 while M1 is about $1700
M1 base model is $1000
M2 base model is $1100
So its kinda complicated to choose best option here while im on a budget with those gap on each upgrade 🥲
I know its silly to ask with all your info and suggestion, if i could only afford m2 with 8/256 is it stupid to buy it with all my workload and daily usage? Or just do m1 cause its cheaper and higher ssd speed?
Thanks anw for the answers
@@kenzkunz I already answered to your question: forget the 256ssd, its useless. Then choose whatever you can afford above that. Either computer is good, M2 being slightly better.
Hello is MBA air m1 8gb ram enough for graphic designer? I use mainly Photoshop only.will it lag while I open multiple tab on browser or software on background while using Photoshop?
16gb is better. 8gb is enough for small/medium file sizes. If you only do digital design it should be sufficient. If you do print and high res imagery in photoshop you will need 16gb
@@designthescenes thank you so much for the reply. I mainly design some logos and advertisment stuff. I also thought of buying 2019 MacBook Pro 15 inch 16 GB but second hand cuz I'm tight on budget. I just can't afford 16gb ram m1. And what about the flexgate issue in m1?
@@navinchitrakar7690 M1 base model is better than than intel chip. Then I would suggest getting the 8gb 512ssd model. I am not aware of any issues with M1, I havent experience anything with it since more than 1 year using it
@@designthescenes thank you so much for your reply. You cleared all my concerns. A sub you gained 🥰
@@designthescenes hey sorry to bother you again. I'm about to buy MacBook m1 Pro 16/256 GB second hand,is it ok? It's got 160 battery cycle count
I recommend the m1 MacBook Pro far as longevity.. the m1 air had it time and starting to show its age far as overheating from multitasks.. at this stage the m1 air is only good for basic stuff like e-mail, web surfing, UA-cam etc.
if you had the 256ssd and 8gb memory that's probably why, I use the m1 with 16gb and 1tb ssd and its flawless
You must be joking, still using my MBP 2015 for Graphic Design and it's still going smooth, why bother buying M1 mac if you use it just to watch UA-cam lmao
@@ananda_adiyah that comment made me laugh, someone must have paid him to type that load of **** 😂😂😂 buddy said emails and UA-cam 💀😭
