Indeed you are correct about baseline models. As an audio professional I have completed several projects using a base model 2013 MacBook Air with 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD. Projects were stored on an external drive and the internal drive used exclusively for the OS and its applications. That laptop is still running flawlessly today. Fast forward to 2023 when I purchased my M1 MacBook Air with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Performance is flawless and the value is unmatched. This laptop has been recommended by almost everyone in the tech industry over the M2 MacBook Air as the best laptop to buy in 2020-2024 until Apple removed it from their website. M2 runs hotter and is less efficient than M1 making its gains negligible in the chassis of a fan-less MacBook Air. With the M3 MacBook Air, Apple has improved upon the shortcomings of the M2 MacBook Air. They have brought back dual nand chips for SSD speeds compatible to the M1 MacBook Air and with the new 3 nanometer architecture of the M3, efficiency and thermal performance have improved. In my experience, the M2 MacBook Air is the one to skip. If you are looking for value and performance, get the M1 MacBook Air and if you are looking for the latest, get the M3 MacBook Air. Both machines in their base configuration are fully capable of professional audio, video and photo editing.

The choice of music for this clip is epic - fits so well with the professional editing - and the compelling content - AMAZING. New sub now. Greetings from Australia.

The takes in this video are spot on. I’ve been using the base M2 Air since release day. My workload isn’t super heavy, but I do audio editing and Photoshop weekly, so I push the machine a little. It handles everything I throw at it no problem. I also have 10+ years of docs and Photoshop files from our church stored on the 256GB drive and it’s only about 2/3rds full. The base model really is plenty of machine for 90%+ of the users out there.

And incredible editing on the video! So fun to watch!

I took back my 14 m3 pro and stood with my 15 inch m3 air. If you do a lot of typing the air feels like gold. You don't really notice the difference in screen unless most of your tech is 120, if not the screen looks amazing.

[fifthfeliciano]

I bought a base line Air M1 way back 2021. And now, 2024, I haven’t use yet half of my storage. The bottom line is, it will always depends on your preference and how will you use your laptop.

[TheLemon]

I use a M2 15" MacBook Air for school, general web browsing/social apps, and occasional light photo/video editing. There is absolutely no reason for me to upgrade to a pro besides the 120hz refresh rate. I think its pretty much perfect.

I, personally, think that we should consider the 1300$ MacBook 13 M3 16GB 256GB as the base model. Please don't buy the 8GB version unless you do nothing on the laptop and are planning to keep it for a many years.
For 1300$, I think it's a very good machine. It is unbelievably portable, not having to worry about carrying the charging cable at all. Just pick it up and put it in the bag. The battery life is ultimate. For me, it redefined the way I carry a laptop. I feel free. Lol!

[EDChero]

Some of the best effects and production value I've seen on YT in awhile, nice work 🏆

[liviurosca]

It’s more like a mental thing and the way it’s sound for most of us. 8 GB of RAM, 8 GB of RAM for something launched in 2024 and cost 1000£/€/$. My OnePlus 7 Pro got 12 GB of RAM and i bought that thing for 799£ 5 years ago or something like this. I don’t have a problem how Apple it’s doing RAM management, i have a problem how they manage my money because they are very greedy and you can see that even better when you start to increase the specs.

[latinreuben]

This is the 1st tech video i don't speed up bec i like the background music. 💯

[Adinok]

This is some amazing art work/effects! NICE!

[derekuhm]

I have a M1 macbook pro. If you need all that mental gymnastics to justify your purchase, don't buy one.

[gabrielcabrera]

I work for my local school district as a technician. We have bought all teaching and admin staff MacBooks and the tech dept as well has them, all baseline M1 models and it works perfectly fine for them (aside from some software compatibility issues.)

[bryanm.]

Yoooo~ your video editing and execution overall is *chef’s kiss* keep it up!!

[TheAnaspanja]

I wanna give a shoutout to the video editor for this video. Man you are an artist showcasing your Art!

[shawnhudgins]

As a tech director in education the baseline model is all I purchase. It is more than enough for my teachers and administrators.

[TheBalkanSpy]

almost 3 years later I still rock my M1 Max macbook pro 16", it's maxed out with 64GB RAM, and 32 core gpu. Still run my video production, product design and anything in between projects.

[heraclio]

Great analysis on the MacBook Air M3 !! Just purchased the 15 inch with 8gb ram and 512 gb ssd version and am so pleased about your insightful diagnosis on this particular baseline model which obviously is misunderstood as a consequence of so much information emanating from so many so-called specialists in the field of laptop technology. Thank you for the smart and simplistic viewpoints and opinion you made on this particular model MacBook model.

[navirs]

You’re totally right about baseline models and MacBook Air longevity compare to windows.
I’ve used MacBook Air 2015 for the past 8 years and just now I purchased MacBook Air M3. My air 2015 is a bit slow but still fully functional.

[devanshmalikk]

why is no one talking about the intro? it's sickkkk
