16gb Ram and 512gb SSD should be the base minimum for 1099$ 🗣🗣🗣

Thanks for still using the same song for the audio test, haven't caught a vid of yours in a while but it was nice for nostalgia/consistency

[joseph_p]

I actually think I like the microphone on the M2 better. The M3 sounds a little over processed to me. M3 might be better with more background noise though.

[PaDutchRunner]

Tries to find videos comparing m2 to m3….finds video talking about finger prints lol

[abemiranda]

I really appreciate the webcam and built in mic quality reviews. I do a lot of dictations (several pages daily) and Teams/zoom. It helps a lot!

I purchased 15” M3 512/24 my first MacBook

[BoyNamedKelly]

I have the base model M2 and honestly it’s been great for a run and gun set up. I leave all of the heavy lifting for my desktop.

[martingifford]

M2 mic was much better in this test. That's important to me as a music producer. Why did they reduce the mic quality in the M3? Crazy.

[Manifestoronaplain]

Great review, very well done guys.
On the speaker test, maybe try to do the switches not on the beat. It'll be easier to spot the differences💜

Nobody upgrades their laptop yearly. I really think your channel missed a big opportunity not comparing the M1 Pro and Max chips to the M3 versions

[tw]

isn’t the coating on the midnight color just on the outside and not on the inside area around the trackpad?

[leebeeskee]

In can't see any YouTubers making comparisons between M3 Air and the last made Intel Air. That would be good to see how far we've come and also for those that are close to upgrading to Apple Silicon

[Kulka]

You should make a comparison Air M1 vs M3 :)

[dannymartial]

I want the M2, but they don’t even sell it anymore. I guess when M4 comes out, they’ll bring back the M2 and hide the M3 option on their website

[pestibenji]

The way you preferred the new anodized finish on the inside of the machine - when it is only applied to the outside and the inside is literally the same 😂 1:58

[markpenfold]

Please do a comparison on the MacBook M3 Air and the MacBook M1 Air. Would love to see this.
You guys do great reviews so honest and helpful for the consumer

I was in the Apple store yesterday where I compared the form factors of the various Apple notebook computers. The 13 and 15 inch MB Air notebook computers are ridiculously light. The 15 inch MB Air is certainly much lighter and maneuverable than the 4.8 pound 16 inch MB Pro though I certainly did not feel that the 16 inch MB Pro was physically unmanageable given its size though I could certainly see it as a burden for those who are frequently on-the-go with it throughout the day. I would go with the 15 inch MB Air instead if the larger screen is a key factor and higher level performance options that are offered by the MB Pro / Max lineup are not a key factor. I would not dread carrying the 15 inch MB Air computer around and using it in various locations throughout the day in comparison to the 16 inch MB Pro. I believe that the sweet spot is the 14 inch MB Pro when both performance and portability are important factors as the screen is just large enough for productivity tasks like spreadsheets, software development, etc.

Rocking the 15 inch m2 air and its such an amazing laptop.

Your test the other day of the SSD's was the decider for me. I bought the M3 256GB with 16 GB's Ram. I'm an editor. I work almost exclusively with external footage. I usually work with a M1 Mac Studio. My desktop is still faster with 64GB's of ram but the more refined design of the M3 is the better machine.
