Should YOU Buy the M1 MacBook Air in 2024?

Does this laptop have what it takes for creators!?
The most important thing for us content creators is understanding what tools can best optimise our workflow. For most of us, buying a $2000+ laptop just doesn't make sense, YET. Come with me and test this laptop as we analyse how good it is for editing and creating.

    I just got one 3 days ago. An older man bought the M1 Air 2 months prior from Apple for 999. He sold it to me for $550. He only used it twice. He didn’t like MacOS so he went back to Windows. He also had an M1 iMac for the same price. Crazy!! I love this thing so much more than my $2100 asus gaming laptop. 😂

    Got one a week ago for $400 as an upgrade from my 2014 air. Kid said he tried it for school but wanted to go into construction instead. It only had 13 battery cycles, basically unused. A couple dings in the metal edges but that’s not important to me. I sold my iPad Air after trying that world and deciding it wasn’t for me. This laptop is crazy

    As I didn't´t have a powerful laptop since so many years. My gf has an old 2016 MBP and we use an. IMac and an iPad so I jump to a base M2 MBA and it is slowly become my best creative tool. when on the go it is my main laptop for my creative workflow: Photo editing, planning contest and esxhibitions...There are not so many differences between the M series. I don´t think to upgrade to M3 maybe to M5 for M6. Now those machines are so powerful you don´t need a MBP unless for specific very professional work. Until my workflow will demand more power I will continue with those Air series. They are amazing compare to my 16gb 512 SSD HP Laptop this machine is a real killer and it does everything in silence with my HP for each photo editing task with other windows open I hear the fans and also some freeze while this M2 do those things in a fast and smooth way. My best investment.

  • @paulharrison8379
    @paulharrison83795 ай бұрын

    You may have read that the 256 GB SSDs in base M2 Macs are unusually slow. This is because the dual 128 Gb flash modules in the M1 Mac are replaced by a single 256 Gb flash module in M2 Macs with half the data transfer rate of M1 Macs. This means that these $881 256 GB M1 MacBook Airs are a better buy than 256 GB M2 MacBook airs and so I would recommend them for cash strapped customers. Note that this problem has been fixed in 256 GB M3 Macs which have reverted to using dual 128 GB flash modules again.

    I purchased mine in October of last year for $745. Was seriously thinking about trading it in to Apple and purchasing tge new M3, with trade of $445 it would come out to roughly $645. I use it everyday, but never pro things. Maybe later I'll switch, but you showing its power remind me i could just leave my money in the bank. Thank you

    Nice! In reality, especially with Apple, the margin of difference in performance is rarely ever huge. The change from Intel chips to Apple Silicon were the biggest leap EVER. But it’ll likely be 4-5 generations of Silicon before it’s an absolute must to upgrade. I feel it’s the same logic with their phones. No need to buy the latest every year.

I almost change my mind to buy M2 MBA but realised I can get what I need in this M1 MBA. And after watching your review, OMG I believe it's my best deal to get m1 MBA right now.
