You’re a breathe of fresh air in the tech space. You’re vids are a definite must watch for me now.

Somehow I feel like I needed this type of review out of all other review videos. Amazing video man! Love from Bangladesh

Totally agree. The M1 was amazing and the M2 is just that little bit better. Has completely replaced my desktop for 4K video editing

DUDE you're my fav youtuber now, all those reviews filled with pourpose. i like it a lot

Your videos are different in that the way you mix reviews and deliver a social message so swiftly. Love your content with mild humour and useful relatable content I am sure you are destined to become a successful KZreadr

Thank you for the support. I wish I could commit more time to youtube but it's hard with kids and running a business. Hopefully this can be full time one day.

Concise, useful - brilliant review. Loved that you read comments at the end of the video. Keep up the good work!

Finally I’m ready to start my channel because of your videos. You’ve inspired me greatly.

I honestly thought you had about a million subscribers - Amazing videos, keep going and you will get there. As long as you keep quality up, it's only a question about time.

Subbed after watching ipad pro 2018 video, because really liked the high quality of the video and your sense of humour. Binged the channel, no regrets😂 Regarding air - got myself m1 air and absolutely love it, probably the best purchase of the last few years for me. I want to use it all the time❤

The best review I have ever seen for the Macbook.

I've had this same MacBook Air for the last 2 months now and it's exceptional. Great video by the way!

What a great review 🙌 I was deciding between a 16” and a 14” mbp, sooo glad I went with the 14 ! The portability is awesome

You did an excellent job and making the video. I appreciate your hard work.

Just love your videos man. Hoping to see hundreds more! 👏👏

Congrats! The best real work performance video.

I’m a mature student about to go to university for four years and I’m thinking about getting the base 13’’ m2 MacBook Air. I’ll just be using it for basic things and getting one video a week out. After a week of watchings video reviews you’ve sold me on it. That’s a great review man, subbed 🙏

What an amazing review!!

great example of how tech reviews can be entertainment, cool story and b roll!

Love your style - good info and you’re so entertaining !

this is exactly what i needed to see

I love your video style, and editing is amazing!

Great work! Keep up inspiring more people

Love your videos Brother. I run a nonprofit agency in Atlanta. We serve minority youth in poverty across the country. I also own a lot of equipment, and I LOVE using my equipment to serve others. It's a huge blessing to use the things God blesses you with to advocate for and represent, lift and empower others.

watched a few videos of yours, you’re pretty good. No doubt you’ll be hitting 1million subs sooner than a ton of other tech-head KZreadrs.

I cannot believe that you have only 30k subs! When I opened video, i really though like "How i haven't heard about this guy, he must be popular, nice editing, comedy, pro shots" just everything ok. Remember me when you hit 1 million as well!

This video let me make a choice of buying macbook air 13 vs 15. Love the way you narrate your experience. Macbook air 13 it is.

I like this review so much, thanks a lot and many regards from Europe. 👍

The last bit of this vid ! That's exactly what you're gonna be doing in near future. This shit's gonna blow up because i can't stop watching your videos and your video popped up about an hour and 30 minutes ago!

@@mirandadunsterville You are welcome. Another thing if you end up traveling in Europe or Asia, and take public transportation to get around, then traveling lighter would be better. If you have the means and take taxis, uber, grabs rides then the exta weight isn't so bad. I have spent close to two years traveling around. The less baggage and wieght I had the easier the mobile experience was. I did the slow travel experience where I would spend about three months in one location and still found traveling lighter was the better experience.

I had the OG M1 macbook air and now a 14 inch macbook pro. The air is so light and I wanna carry that everywhere. 16" would be a beast to carry around. I think the 14" MBP is pretty good right in the middle.

14” Pro is a good in between with ports

@thesamuelnam

Жыл бұрын

I use my tools like they’re tools and don’t mind them getting banged up due to wear and tear. I can definitely see the usbc port showing silver due to plugging in SD card read a thousand times. No scratches but finger print is the only thing visible in certain light. Wouldn’t get any other colour for MacBook Air though I love it. Space Grey is the safe option if you’re fussed about finger prints and silver usb ports.

Hi, great informal video and thanks for answering my question about how light and portable and how you prefer to always take the air over the pro. My question is what was the charger you showed in the video? Or what type of charger should I search for on Amazon? I need something portable to charge my phone, laptop and camera gear like what you traveled with in this video. Any help appreciated Thanks.

@thesamuelnam

Hey thanks. The battery I was showing in the video is made for video cameras and gear so it’s a little expensive. I’d get anything that can handle 40W power delivery via usb c (look into Anker). The vlock battery I used in the video was about $400/battery which isn’t worth it if you’re not using it for production.

Just watched to see the colour... but your cool bro! New sub.

I got very posetive vibes from you. Keep up the good work

But I agree you feel like using the air

If you’re not careful (I wasn’t) the usb port starts to get silver on the edges. The lid, bottom and sides color stayed as midnight.

I think the biggest reason why I want to buy the apple laptop is it's battery life. I've used windows all my life and I like it because I've never had compatibility issues with windows. I'm scared to buy Apple because I feel I might have compatibility issues. No one talks much about them. Like can I use MS Office, can I transfer stuff from my Android phone to the MacBook (phone behaving like a pen drive on windows) and vice versa. The battery life changes the way you use a laptop. When you don't have to worry about plugging in the laptop while working, it makes a huge difference because now you can work anywhere and that increases productivity significantly. The procrastinating thing comes under control because how easy it is to use it. Yeah! The battery life kinda impacts our life.

Battery makes a huuuuuuuuge difference. Never took charger out once over the two years. Incredible. But, it's best going with iphone and macbook. Android works with work around apps.

Bro i do like the fact that you like the m2 air but need the performance of the m1 pro 16in laptop, you do realise that the 14in macbook pro is right in the middle for your needs right ?

what configuration did you get on the MacBook Air?.. I actually have the M2 Pro MacBook Pro 16 inch and it is extremely heavy like you stated. and I got the M2 MacBook Air to do what you just stated to use it wherever I want and to take it with me. but im unaware of how the base model will hold up..

How is the midnight color holding up?

I have a 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 at Home as my Main Laptop. For traveling i Need a smaller Laptop. So i will go with another MP 14 inch as my second Laptop, but i think thats Overkill (2 MPs) or i go with a MA 13 inch in Midnight Black. I love the color and it is not expensive, the biggest lost is the Perfect Display, but i think for Travel it is ok.

Not really. I use a M1 Pro 16" as daily driver and take it anywhere when i really need/want it, but i also have a car so weight is not an issue. In a basic backpack the 16" as well any other device fits in so i cant care less. The bigger screen makes it so much better to use than anything Also, remember - like 5 years ago a 15,4" notebook with 2,8kg was considered "light" and compact. A modern 16" MacBook weights about 2kg so even 30% less than a once "light" notebook. Also its smaller than most 15,4" notebooks. 15,4" was a "regular" notebook size, 13-14" a small notebook and >17" a "desktop replacement". Just seeing how powerful and silent M1/M2 macs are nowadays and with that screen size, yet "small" and "light" even the 16" - Its definately compact and light! The only issues i would see with the 16", as in the video seen regular usage on planes, so basically small areas to use might be a bit wrong for the biggest model. But how often you are that limited in space to be a problem?

I enjoyed this video I have the 15 inch air lol

How does the smaller screen size effect video editing? specifically colour grading?
