They tell you almost nothing about the screen

I spent not much more for the 14” MBP M1 and is the better overall purchase, in my opinion. Better screen, ports, etc

You must have a lot of confidence to pull out your MacBook on the bus.

[Jimmyfly]

the M1 Air is still the best of the bunch. you can get that for 799.00

I wish it had XDR or HDR display support.

I can't wait to see it! The 13 inch is nice but the screen is a little small for longer time periods.

Those Bacbook Airs are going to sell like hotcakes for that price!

I am proud to say my friend is the EOM of this Mac Book 15 project team. So proud of him. Way to go David!!!!

13 & 14inch all the the way, 15” & 16” have portability issue in flight; on bus, subway &Trains; can’t even fit on coffee table well; and its off balance on the laps.

I just want a 13” with the newer design or an iPad mini Pro.

Bottom line: any MBA is for the casual user. any MBP is for power users. there is a huge difference between the two type of users

The differentiation in SOCs makes the 15" Air worse than it need to be. One more USB-C to the right, a 120Hz display and more than 2TB of storage and 24GB of RAM... that'd be tremendous. In the base spec the 15" Air is pointless. Nobody needs that with less than 512GB of storage.

Boiling down different price points and feature sets, I think the best device to get now is the M1 Air at a good deal around 750 USD.

[ctoney]

I think the biggest disparity is the air is limited to 1 external monitor

[CapeRides]

Still wish i could afford an m1 air to replace my 2012 unibody pro😅

[BOMBSQUADPYROTECHNICS]

No resolution details, no hdr details

[scottwalters]

Why talk about the base prices and the top line specs? Most people want to know what they get in the base model of each and at what price to make a comparison. Suggesting an Air is a better choice than a Pro for a video editing use case also doesn't seem like very good advice.

[danielmorales]

thank you and I will be waiting for your feedback

[Gurenn]

13 inches is $1099 while the 15 inches is $1299? So that is like $100 per inch? If that is the case, I would need a 6 inches Macbook Air then.

Great video. Very professional, helpful, and fun. How does one enter the 15" MacBook Air giveaway? :P

[samiahmed]

Nothing changed, just 1.4in more display
