$200 dollars too get 8 more gigs of RAM should be illegal

repeat after me, if you've already got an m series laptop, you DO NOT NEED THIS

It's refreshing to hear someone say "if you are doing lightweight work, consider the older gear"

Awesome review! This has been VERY helpful for me on selecting for my son's laptop. I had to explain the difference between a need and a want. He needs a new laptop that can handle his daily school work. He does NOT need an M3 Pro or the 36 GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Your review cements practicality and reality. Thank you.

Thanks for not being afraid of really calling out the ridiculous pricing of upgrading the machines from base. Everyone needs to share this video.

I somehow missed the fact that they released the m3 Mac air

It's so refreshing to hear this from a tech guru like yourself! I remember back in 2010 I bought my first Apple Laptop - it was an "open box" MacBook Air from Best Buy for hundreds less than a new one. It gave me years and years of use and even was still very usable when I replaced it. Co-signing your advice 💯

Warching this on my M1 MacBook Air, still very happy with it. It is good to see the incremental improvements in each of these releases though, because when one replaces their M1 in a few years there will be a nice jump.

“M1 Air from walmart” - $699 BRAND NEW. I think thats really the way to go for anyone who just wants a mac and does most of their work in a web browser (lots of people)

Marques is the only one that can call out Apple and still get invited and receive review units 😂

[DeeJayAdverb]

Bro your video's are mixed so well lol Out here watching your stuff on various studio monitors and it always sounds SO FIRE and the levels are SO ON POINT!

Also, cool video :)

The "enabler" thing is quite true. I've been doing heavy coding for over 3 years with a base M1 Macbook Air and it's still going strong. It paid for itself hundreds times over haha

[mjefferson]

I have the base m1 MacBook Air and it still runs like butter. Probably won’t need to upgrade until M5 or M6

[bikashnath]

Still rocking my M1 Macbook Air 2020, and it has been great without any hiccups as per my usage. No need of any upgrade for me for a long time.😌

I got the M2 air base model as a remote work station and have been very happy with it. I use it for emails, web browser based tools, mostly Quickbooks and some Canva, excel, acrobat. Basically office stuff.

I’ve never found the need for more RAM or storage space.

My main workstation at home is an M1 Mac mini on an ultra-wide gaming monitor.

[omiomardreamer]

That was the most excellent approach in delivering concept. I have seen in a very long time. I loved it. I loved it. I loved it.

My MacBook Air m1 is the best computer I have ever bought. Zero issues editing. Battery still incredible.

[MihneaStoian]

The Air is for people using 80% browser/office apps, 10-15% communication apps and 5-10% creative apps. My wife is using the M1 Air base model and the thing doesn't skip a beat. I have a M1Pro and we always use her Air for travel and even just looking stuff on the couch - the lightweight, size and insane battery life just can't be beat. I used to use it for photo editing, and I never-ever saw it struggle with 25MP raw images.

Love your reviews man, thanks for the honest tips

[Lefsler]

I still have my "day 1" M1 MacBook with 16GB and have no problems, while I do not work with photo/video editing, for C++/Rust development it works great, I also leave tons of tabs and even different browsers open and the thing is super fast.
