Apple's M1 MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro: Goodbye, Fan Noise! | WSJ

The latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro are powered by Apple's M1 chip, so they run cooler and quieter than their counterparts with Intel inside. So what does it take to rev their fans? WSJ's Joanna Stern tries to turn up the heat with some punishing tests. Photo illustration: Preston Jessee for The Wall Street Journal

I think this is the most useful review of M1 Macbooks. Literally all I needed to see how many tabs can new macbooks sustain without a hiccup and ONLY THIS VIDEO shows this. Seriously in daily use, how many people need to compare geekbench scores or fps? All I needed was how smooth does this laptops performs under heavy use of chrome and multitasking and this video simply answers this question.

If you feel like all the tech reviews are the same, wait for Joanna

[randocalrissian]

I came to see Joanna be the most extra tech reviewer and she effing delivered. That thumbnail :chefs kiss:

Keep in mind Chrome here is being translated, is not yet natively supported for ARM.

[jerrynkumu]

Over 100 chrome tabs didn't push the M1 passed 80 degrees?
My inner Palpatine: We will watch your career with great interest

Imagine how M1/M1X/M2 16" Pro will perform.

First AMD and now Apple? Intel is quickly becoming a thing of the past...

0:30 " Do you hear that, silence ??"

Thank you Apple for keeping a 720p webcam. I don't want everyone on video calls to see ever zit and hair follicle on my face

I love Joanna’s tech reviews, they’re so entertaining ☺️

[profmerlinpants]

You are seriously better than 95% of those “tech” reviewers on YouTube.

[RayMak]

I was trying to imagine how loud the fan was in the beginning

[marcustulliuscicero]

As a european I dropped my jaw when she said "I never got it above the low 80s", then I realised it was Fahrenheit

[MelkMan]

4:00 "surprisingly well" is a bit of an overstatement.

[Dstny]

This is what I wanted in a video. My MacBook Pro I have now sounds like a jet engine 😭

[MsVamPireChic]

Dang, the fan is one of my biggest complaints about my Mac! Thinking of getting it 🤔

[floridaman]

As I watch this video my fan RPMs are climbing.

[lukecwolf]

I really appreciate Joanna’s tech reviews in the chasm of tech reviews, especially during the pandemic. Where is everyone always make some vanilla review of the specs or possible upgrades from the last, johanna always delivers something special ♥️

[shaduck]

i have almost 100 tabs open on 2020 intel MBP, where is the noise?

[hassangacham]

My chip must be broken my laptop is still loud 😂
