So many people out there trying to scare you into buying the 16gb model. While you are chilling here with infinite amount of tabs open, running Vs code, davinci Resolve, recording the screen telling us that 8gb will do the job!
Thanks man you just confirmed that 8gb will be enough!

Excellent video, it helped me a lot to decide and I m going for M1.

Now I know buying the 8GB M1 will suffice for my needs. I plan on using the MacBook Air for learning and then building iOS apps. I never have more than 4 tabs open on safari. Running Xcode, learning and building apps so be a breeze for the 8GB MBA M1. Thanks for sharing.

Very good video. This is what I was looking for! Thanks for showing that the 8GB is more than enough, especially that MacOS will use Swap to match the demand. Can you also make about M1 256GB capacity too?

God bless you man! That's what I was looking for for the long time here on youtube. Real world testing and showing up the actual activity monitor. Thank you.

Eye opening video for me! apple silicon has some serious optimization, Great content.

[isaiahjannavasquez]

This is what I've been looking for! Great content. Thank you!

[horizon_brasil]

Excellent video, thank you very much, I had this doubt about the performance

Hi I see it has been 3 years since this video was published, with all the applications and websites becoming more demanding with time how is the 8Gb holding up, I am still paranoid about getting 8gb, can you please share your experience with heavy multitasking and coding?

Very good review, some other tech YouTubers or people in this comments saying get a $4000 machine for chrome and some light dev work lol, thanks you for this video

[ft-nishant]

thank you for this video, these results are exactly what i was looking for, you earned a sub !

[dollarkevin]

Should be enough if I'm planing to buy something better in the next years, Im afraid of a damaged ssd in a few years specially bc its only 256 GB. Great Video.! Greetings from Mexico.

[de-freitas-matt]

Thanks for the video, very informative!

[lightxlampax]

Thank you!!!
Veeeery helpful! Never seen such detailed test before

[jpvaneeden]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

What a fantastic review. Poor Mac went through rigorous testing. Good job.

Finally some really good stress test where we can see the true power of the 8gb of ram on m1 macbook.

[WernAncheta]

Thank you for making this video. Would be interested to know how long can it perform the same way over longer periods. 8 hours for example. Im a developer and the new M1 Pro is just too expensive so Im thinking of getting an M1 Macbook Air instead. But Im worried the performance will start to deteriorate for usage over 8 hours. Would be nice to see a reaction video on normal usage as a developer. With VS code, Android Studio, Xcode, Docker open.

[wkurniawaan]

how long the ssd wil stand if we use more swap memory? is it will stand for 4-5 years?

[haaneeahmed]

thank you dude <3 for reassurance, thought picking up the 8gb was a bad idea.
