I would love to have a MacBook. Just can’t bring myself to spending that kind of money on it. Love your content. Thank you for all the hard work.

I'm getting the 13" version (with 24/1TB), specifically for world travel, since it's more portable than the 15". If I weren't traveling, I'd get the15".

Amazing unboxing. Maybe you should do a comparison of the M1, the M2 and the latest M3 versions.

Midnight Blue is a smudge and dust magnet, go for the other versions instead.

Thank you for showing the temps in Celsius for us outside the US

Very nice Macbook. I have the M2 MacBook Air so no plans to update.

[realx]

Great review! Just waiting on my M3 15" to arrive in the mail today 😁

[JustAPersonWhoComments]

Those with an intel based MacBook Air is definitely a great upgrade. I would hold off if u currently have an M2 MacBook Air

[lucymorrison]

definitely gonna keep my M2 Air for at least another refresh. Can't see the point in upgrading when all I'll get is a little bit of a spec bump.

I am still using my M2 13-inch MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar in 2024! I like the old school look and I don't really use FaceTime for the most part. I was sort of bummed out when I discovered the lack of third party apps using the Touch Bar! I have some regrets not getting the M2 MacBook Air, but I wasn't a fan of the notch display, etc.

[wolfsonryan]

Great review! I have the newest 15" M2 Air 16GB RAM. I love it!

[peterthepanda]

At this point, Apple charging $1099 for 8GB RAM and 256GB (slow) Storage should be considered a felony.

Hi, Make a comparison video of M1, M2 and M3 . Also suggest if one should buy M1 MacBook Air in 2024 . Usage is normal office work and browsing. Thank you

[DjeverB]

great review top !!!! :) i like so much your test for heat and thermal

[MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

Thanks Aaron! Great review I agree the newer blue looks better IMO. Still no keyboard keys for adjusting the keyboard brightness?

[darthraider]

Is this worth the upgrade over the M2 MacBook Air 512GB (the version of the Air with dual NAND, instead of the single NAND of the 256GB version)? The battery on the M2 is fantastic and easily surpasses 20 hours on general use, with the 18 hours specified by Apple for the M3 seems like a downgrade, are they compensating for increased chipset energy use?

Nice one I have the intel model from 2017 and I like it a lot, my first MacBook ever!

[charlottecasey]

Just recently bought a macbook air 15 inch m3 with 16gb ram and 512gb storage. It's my first Mac, and I love it. Still adjusting to using the operating system, though
