Can you please enable subtitles again! 🙉Your last 5 or so videos haven't had any captions, not even auto captions. My gf is hard of hearing and we have both been MKBHD watchers for years, but she hasn't been able to watch any of your recent videos! 😭 This will probably get lost in the comments like hers did on the last few videos, but I have hope (maybe whoever is reading this will like it to get it more notice)

2020 is tough. MKBHD started talking to himself.

Hey Marques, I have been a fan for about 7 years now, you helped advise me to buy all of my phones and you got me into tech, and I just wanted you to know that I am using you as a citation in a University paper about ARM architecture, I am sure you get these comments all the time but I just wanted to personally thank you for the years of content. Peace.

Looking forward to seeing you in movies soon. I see the acting skills

[Bluey]

AMD beats Intel
Intel: Well at least we got macbooks right?
Apple: Lmao bye

How do your videos just keep getting better

[Pheer]

"There's nobody out there watching 10 hours of video in a row"
Haha yeah totally... who does that?..

[matthewjones]

"There isn't anyone just sitting around watching videos for 10 hours a day" Obviously he's never met me

[sofiabuecker]

i used this video to show my dad the pros and cons of this macbook and he bought me one for my birthday!

[CrashedCarChannel]

There are full TV corporations that have much lower video quality than you Marques

Marques: "So I've had a twin for a week now and here are my thoughts"

I have owned the MBA m1 base since it was released to the public for purchase. What intrigued me about the m1 version, is that I viewed the chipset as what is in their iPad and iPhone, both of those devices both are run by chips that are designed by Apple and both those devices run awesomely. Both of those devices operate so well and efficiently than I have in the past tried to use the iPad as my EDC but fell short because the apps for the iPad are not as full-featured as their desktop counterparts; So really the only thing missing was the waiting for Apple to finally release a laptop with their own chipset.

Since owning the MBA m1 base, I use the computer for everything from work to personal use. The Apple chipset runs everything more efficiently which allows me to have more apps and Chrome Windows open at a time that the device never gets bogged down or overheats when working on the MBA for long periods of time. I now do not have a reason anymore to own an iPad because my Mac just runs as efficiently if not better than the iPad. macOS, to me, feels more like it's more portable breatharian iOS.

For an everyday user like myself, the base model is now the way to go. It uses to be that the base model always left you guessing if you should have gone for the next tier up. For me, all those second questions are answered in a definite no.

Great Video as always

I have been using the MBA M1 as my EDC device for work since the device was released to the public. The highlights for me about this device are 1) It's Fast. So to start off, I do not use the device for anything too labor-intensive. I primarily use Chrome and have about 11 tabs open, and the apps outside of Chrome I use are Microsoft and sometimes Polaar as my photo editor. 2) The memory management, when owning Intel-based laptops, the Ram would be enough but there would be more times where 8GB was not enough. The MBA M1 on the other hand, I never run out of space. The device always flutters around 4.5GB to maybe 5GB on occasion. 3) The MBA M1 feels like an iPad to me, I am not sure why, but I use it I feel like an iPad in how I use it. I rely more on apps than I do on the desktop itself. it's weird.

Now I may be wrong in how I have labeled things in this response but still after all this time owning it, the Device has not failed me and it runs crispier than the Surface Pro 7, Surface Laptop 3, and the Surface Laptop Go. It is the first laptop that I have owned where I am definitely not bored with it. So in hine site, if you use a device like a Chromebook and only need Microsoft Apps, this is the best device for you.
