M1 vs M2 vs M3 MacBook Air - ULTIMATE Comparison!

⭐️ Get Qi2 charger, speaker, mic, phone stand with voiceprint recognition technology in one device!

I bought every single generation of the Apple silicon MacBook Air and compared them in everything from CPU performance, coding, Adobe workflows, blender, gaming, battery life, and even thermal performance. The question is - which one should you get? The latest and greatest, or save some money and get the older versions?

These are the best MacBook Air deals I could find:

I won't replace my 8GB M1 Macbook Air until Apple releases the base Macbook Air with a minimum of 12GB RAM, 512GB storage, and a 90hz refresh rate display

I use my MacBook Air M2 with 16GB of ram for work and school and it’s a beast, I’m a web developer.

[DarKnightRayleigh]

I don't understand why these youtubers just throw Macbook air as " email machine ", a $100 phone can do that too .

[strike]

holding my m1 16gb air for as long as i can, i love it

[MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

Nice comparison. Would love to see a comparison between the 13" and 15" MBA M3 vs the 14" MBP M1 and M2, since they're all within a couple hundred bucks of each other.

[Chopper]

Please upgrade your RAM to 16 GB whether you're buying M1/M2/M3. You'll thank me 2 years later.

The Best Video. I was waiting for this video.

I got MacBook Pro m1 (basically an air m1 with fans) and I can assure u guys, its way more powerful than what I need for my daily use

[bnlojyo]

I want to buy one of the Anker Workers, can you share a link? as the one you sent won't allow you to buy it.

I prefer the wedge shape, and I use continuity camera for webcam as it’s far superior to both the 720p and 1080p

[chanchanadissanayake]

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to you. I'm getting my first mac tomorrow, a MacBook Air and I've watched a lot of your videos on MacOS and Macs and they have been incredibly valuable for me. Keep up the good work!!!

Please make a video comparing MacBook Air m3 with 16 gb ram 256gb storage to MacBook Air m2 16 gb ram 512 gb storage. Because in this configuration the price is almost same. Which one should I go for.???

bought 15" M2 16/256. runs perfectly & love that extra screen space. makes doing anything feel more immersive.

[skepticalmechanic]

Bought a 15" M2 MacBook Air new at Best Buy with 16GB ram and 1TB SSD for $1, 499... What a deal! Got it yesterday!

You said that you stopped the head of autonomy when the MacBook M1 was at 5%
But I would like to know how much time has elapsed from the battery at 100% to 5%?

[dylancarey]

If I am doing Speech and Debate and could have 5+ huge word documents all open at the same time all of which could be 50+ pages will it run fine with 8GB of Memory or should I definitely upgrade to 16Gb?

[gerardrosales]

4:07 damn I didn't know that upgrading the RAM will also automatically include the non-binned GPU add on. Apparently, this was also the case for the M2 MBA models.

I have an M1 MBA and I upgraded the RAM, but I didn't get the upgraded GPU core count back then.This was nice to know.

[DatTruckinGuy]

Still have my M1 Air 16GB/256GB. Hasn’t lost a step once. Still don’t mind the 13 in. display.

Great comparison and review, I especially like that you're an Aussie. Can I ask, for those people who keep their laptop plugged into power 90% of the time as it's used as my desktop, does these new laptops have the maximum 80% charge like the iPhones?
