WWDC was a disappointment... so I bought an M1 MacBook Air?!

Ғылым және технология

7 months after release, I managed to get my hands on the M1 MacBook Air. This video outlines my initial impressions (full review to come soon), and my only regret regarding this machine is the fact that I didn't purchase it sooner.

    Hope y'all enjoyed my initial impressions of the M1 MacBook Air - I didn't cover everything in this video, such as battery life, optimisation and app compatibility, but all of that will be in the full review, so make sure to subscribe for that! If there are any questions you'd like answered for the full review, leave them here!

    I love small channels like these. Straight to the point, no clickbait, no BS. All I wish is you uploaded more, but you have your own things to do.

    Thanks for the kind words! As a viewer of many channels myself, I also like videos that are to the point. I’m trying my best to upload more, and I should be able to in the near future because this new Mac makes editing (the longest part of the video creation process) far more efficient.

    I ordered my macbook air on June 1st and I recieved it 2 days after wwdc I was happy I didn't hold my decision of not buying it until wwdc(and I didn't have the budget too😝) it's insane I usually use it for web browsing and coding and the battery refuses to die comfortable 2 days battery 🔥

    It's a tough call for me. The most heavy work I foresee doing is music recording, likely through Logic, potentially recording multiple tracks simultaneously with multiple plug-ins and such. I just don't want to run into a situation where I run out of power or things start getting choppy. I really have no idea if this type of workload is more or less than mild-moderate 4k video editing. Either way, I want to see what M1X will offer and for what price. I debate Air, M1X 14", or wait even longer for the new Air.

    I was really hoping they added HDMI and an SD card slot back, plus usb port(s) at the least. Would make editing videos and importing files great rather that having to make a rough edit on one device.
