Please make a video about an overall comparison between the Air and the Pro 13" 2018 when you get it.

I liked the video and agree that its not a great upgrade unless you need it to be that thin and the 2017 pro is a better computer by far my 2012 13" pro will actually give the AIR a run for its money for price to performance still. the Geekbench 4 results for the new AIR where leaked already and its very good as a dual core but gets stomped by anything higher up the food chain so I agree its a incremental upgrade not a revolutionary one would have liked to see a lower price on it keeping it around a $1000 the new mini is a better addition.

Very nice and honest review men. You've really got an in dept knowledge of apple products, specs by specs.

Great video as always! I’m a big fan of your channel, and you’re the only tech reviewer I found that actually stated some key differences between the MacBook Air and 12” MacBook besides the number of ports.

Well done Dan,always like watching ur vids really appreciate the detail you go into and the time that you have obviously invested in making them.Keep it up.✌🏻

Dude, you the best. I love the patience and detail in this video. Thanks

About the speaker, saying that the previous ones are really bad, is an exaggeration. It's better than most Windows laptop, even today.

I bought the new 2018 MacBook Air, mid range memory options, on sale (-$150) at B&H Photo, no ship, no tax. Couldn't be happier. Previous Airbook lasted 7 yrs, and still limping along.

Amazing video again Daniel! I will follow your instructions as always and get the baseline 2017 MacBook Pro 13" for about the same price. It's better in almost every single way! Keep up the great work. David, out.

Really good info, thanks

Congratulations on 600k subs man, I was waiting for you to hit that since your 30 things you didn’t know about the iPad Pro video :D

I didn't know most of these! Great job with this video

A very substantive review (most substantive in comparison to all other that are available). Thank you.

Very interesting. Some real hidden facts and a great recommendation based on everything. Subscribed!

Youre like one of the best reviewer on yt your explanation is crystal clear, thanks to you

Thank you so much for your reviews. It helps me a lot with which one to buy later. Will probably buy the macbook pro 13' ! Thanks, daniel! Love your reviews.

Thank you for your informative video. Your the best.

Man your vids are awesome, nicely done!

Very informative! Thanks

Really useful video as I was thinking of between the new Air or the 2017 Pro. I have the old Air and I always thought its speakers are pretty good! haha

I have been looking around for a video like this as my OLD MacBook Air (2011) is almost dead and I am so confused whether to Buy MacBook 12" or Air 2018? This clarifies a lot of things for me. Thanks @ZONEofTECH

Thanks, very helpful :)

Once you get the air , could you please compare it to the 2017 mac pro

Good useful information

For a grandma who takes pictures, iPhone videos, Netflix, KZread and email... kind of excited for my new 2019 MBA. Gave my lucky 13 year old grandson my MBP with a larger 256 GB hard drive as he needs more power. MBA is for a niche group, of which I’m happy to occupy. Thanks for your info!

Best Tech Review I have ever seen 👍

I would like to thank you with your advise as I nearly bought a new Mac book air to use for running dj software so it’s a Mac book pro I will be purchasing.

Thx you for helping me a right decision cause I was going to buy a Mac book air and you have just help me made a right decision to buy the 2017 Mac book pro

good comparison Bro

You nailed it.

Really great summary. At the end when you recommend the 2017 13" MBP it looks like you're talking about the touch bar model. (But if I'm not mistaken Apple doesn't sell it new anymore.) Would your conclusion hold for the 2017 13" NTB MBP as well?

Can you do a video editing test on the new MB Air when you get it?

I do imovie video editing with my macbook air 2018 and I see no problem at all, it's super fast and handy

im so in the Zone i grabbed my snakes without you telling me...great video and very informative...i have the the 12inch MacBook and its fantastic i will wait until they update the MacBooks

Awesome!! 👍

I can’t “join the zone” so I haven’t skipped the ads

Time to grab some popcorn 🍿

Great Video but Daniel 2017 model had an issue with the keyboard and in places where there is no apple stores they don't sell that

Very informative! Everyone who want to buy 2018 macbook air should watch this!

Wise comparison 👍

I think you are the only one who pointed out that the processor is crap in the MacBook air..Rest are just misguiding by telling it's a 8th Gen processor and is good

I saw that fan as well and was going crazy watching a bunch of publications say it was fanless...

Thanks for this review.

very goooooood review bro. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 high quality content.👌👌👌

He is a nob...AIR is for non power- video gamers- users so why compare? I love my Air and it is wonderful for my needs!!!

Love your style and insights! (too many ads though (4 total), consider increasing darkness of background (to increase contrast) and a bit less direct light on your face. (or use a bit warmer light).

Upon reading the title of this video, I thought to myself " I doubt I'll learn anything knew," but how I was wrong. Great video.

I would love to see a "things I did not know" about the 2018 mac mini. I have a late 2012 i7 mac mini and would love to upgrade to the new 2018 mac mini base model.

Love this in-depth review. So detailed! 👏🏻

I pre-ordered the new MacBook Air prior to watching your video and felt a tinge of regret. But I’m simply a student looking for the most portable laptop without sacrificing the real estate on the screen (the 12 inch one is simply too small for me as I’ve to read many pages of text). So while the new MacBook Air has specs that pale in comparison with the MacBook Pro, it’s still my first choice. Informative video though! You’ve scored yourself a new subscriber!

Like many, was contemplating between the 2018 Air vs. 2017 MBP without touch bar. Does the updated keyboard and Touch ID not rly make it better than the 2017 MBP? Rly tough to decide....

SSD is not that expensive these days. 256GB SSD costs 34 usd retail. So........ it does not justify the 256GB upgrade of the macbook air. They ask 200 more for that. Which is just a ripoff. They should have made it a 256 GB Standard. Trust me, this bunny knows.

Where to get one of those Google and KZread notebooks? They're really cool.

do you think that with eGPU that slow processor could be a bottle neck?

Off topic but what specs should I be getting for a $1200 laptop?

Nice video

Thanks for this video by the way. You did a good job of highlighting how the new MacBook Air is basically just a suped-up version of the 12 inch MacBook, making it a rather pointless upgrade to go from the 12 inch to the new air. You might’ve saved me a small fortune there 😂

you are very close to 600k

For me the reduced size of the charging brick is a big deal for overall portability. The new MacBook Air 30W adapter is so much smaller than the 13 inch MacBook Pro 61W adapter.

If I get a 2017 13" Macbook Pro instead of the new Air, should I worry about the MBP keyboard reliability? Is the 2017 MBP covered under the keyboard replacement program? I'm looking to get my first ever Mac computer, and I thought the Air would be a good option. Uses would be programming mainly and some web browsing/streaming video. No gaming at all.

Which Mac should I get if I am gonna use it for editing and gaming I need advice

Love you 💓💓

So, basically, throw in a couple hundred bucks more and get the Pro model, that’s what I imagined would happen.

Hey Daniel! As a college student who plans on staying on school for the next 6 years. Would you still recommend this air for me? As I will need it for notes and more simple Microsoft stuff. I am also new to the Apple world.

Great video and honesty. But when you say get the MacBook Pro instead, which one? Assume you mean the dual core without Touch Bar, as it is the 640. Quad core with Touch Bar is a 655... Also is 8gb enough??? Or should everyone future proof with 16gb???

Regarding the recycled aluminium used in the new Air, it’s only from shavings which have been re-alloyed for this new model. It doesn’t (yet?) use recycled aluminium from previous products or reprocessed recycled aluminium!

I thought my playback speed was 2x than I realised you speak sooooooooo fast are you flash from dc 😂😂😂

I can do video edit on FinalCut on my 12" macbook although rendering a tad slow when thermal throttle (processor running at 20%) with this Macbook Air that has a Fan to cool the processor I bet it can do video edit and render at a OK speed

Nice shirt bro

adding storage and ram quickly makes that price go up

Fun fact: I made it to the end. Keep up the good work D.

That’s great man!!! whatever you said was true There is no meaning purchasing the air

Hi! I have a question: does the MBAir 2018 offer better performance over MBP 2016 base model (non-Touch bar).

Student here, I read everybody is complaining about the 8th gen processor and how weak it is. Will I have issues with general homework using excel, word etc. The 2nd gen butterfly keyboard on the Macbook Pro (even for $100 more) is kinda a deal breaker.

I’m in college I will be doing assignments on word and doing research on the web. I’ll ask is watch Netflix and KZread so I want a god screen. Would you recommend the Air 2018 or the non Touch Bar Pro 2017? I don’t need the speed or anything but I’m stuck between these two please can someone help me?

Help!! I wanted a MacBook Air for 5 years..finally caved 10 months ago and bought one. Just my luck, not even a year later they redesign the whole thing for what’s basically the first time. Do I sell it and upgrade? Or do I keep this one? I’m a senior in high school and this computer is supposed to last me through college...any advice is appreciated!

The biggest problem with the MacBook Pro (2017, base model) is the second generation butterfly keyboard which is "not so good". As MacBooks does not have touchscreens (and I do not say they should) this is the only way to write on this device. It is a big gamble to buy a laptop with a problematic keyboard, which costs a lot to repair. Otherwise it was a great video!

Please make video for mac mini

Thank you for not falling for a "8gen intel" crap and telling us how it is
