This was the video I was searching for. I am Java backend developer, in each macbook review they talk about audio/video editing and 100 other things, but no specific developer use. Thank you so much man. Would really appreciate it if you can create a video on all the M3 macbook possible for developers. Right now I am confused between macbook air M3 16/512 and macbook pro M3 pro 18/512. On rare thought, just to save money what if I buy macbook air M3 8/256, and my use will include some personal web/mobile e2e development along with binge watching, etc.

@Anthony-kp7sf Ай бұрын
eeeeevery time a new m series chip comes out everyones like "wtf only 8 gbs?!!?!" and then apple does some techno wizardry and shows everybody that for some reason their 8gb is more like 16gb or something. I bought an m1 the week they came out, out of sheer curiosity before the things were too well known and everyone was having melt downs about the gb and swapping. idk what the heck apple does but they might be aliens because honestly these machines are insanity. I run heavy heavy stuff on Logic Pro and cannot make these m chips hit walls unless I'm purposefully trying to do it. oh yeah and the fans don't actually matter. I had an m1 mini with big old fans in it and when you hit a certain point the entire thing just gets hot regardless of how hard the fans are blowing, I think those fans are just there to make people feel more comfortable honestly lol.

My only use for this machine is development of node js and react based application. i am using docker for my deployments. i have ROG G752vy since 2016, That machine is the beast even for today but due to its size it is not portable. but since last 7 days i am enjoying development in this M1. Portability with power is the key for this machine. its battery last for more then 10 hours which is enough for me. Thank you so much for your work. Please keep it up.

So for anyone who's willing to spend a bit to get a mac but on a budget, the base model m1 air will still be good enough unless you have some very specific use cases

I believe the fan will come handy while connected to a desk monitor. People don’t realize the M chips begin to over heat while connected to a monitor. Imagine two monitors with the lid closed on the M3. Thanks again for sharing developer related task.

Great advice. It’s good to see a balanced review with solid recommendations rather than flexing the algorithms as many Mac reviews tend to do. The M3, no shocker, is great and better than the M2 Air. Already £100 off in UK for the base 15-inch model which is my recommendation. As for 8GB base, I agree, it is essential for OEMs to offer a cheaper variant to exploit the demand curve. People saying Apple should not do this completely miss the point and are totally wrong. I have been using 8GB for 40 years and know that it has served me well I like the option of getting a discounted base model going forward and saving what I can. I got my base MB Pro 13 M1 for £800 and still runs like a dream. I am tempted by the MB Air M3 15-inch but looking for £200 off in the next few months. Keep up the quality videos.

Hey Alex, I have a great question for you. I am planning to buy a Macbook Air M3 with 16GB's of RAM but I am having some hard time trying to choose whether to get the 512GB or 1TB model. I will study CS (or something computer related) next semester and I am kind of unsure about what to do. I want to build a few apps this summer and then focus on AI maybe but like I said I am not sure. Would you recommend going for 512 + external ssd or 1tb just in case? Also I know it's kind of off topic but would you recommend CS or CE for Bachelor? Like I mentioned, I want to get into AI or write the code of some machines for automation or maybe not even those and just mobile apps and games and software. Btw, I know MB Air is won't be enough for intensive works but I am just looking for a device that can carry my work for 2-3 years for the beginning as I am a beginner overall. I love your videos and the way you explain things.

This is, by far, THE BEST review for a very long time. Period. Please keep it up Alex! I’m so sick and tired of the generic reviews like “okay here’s the box in all its glory *ASMR opening* let’s put the device aside for a moment, there’s only a charger and a cable in the box which is a shame because at this price I was expecting my grandma’s wheelchair spare tires here. Anyway, back to the device it’s got a gorgeous retina display, 2 USB C ports, decent speakers, good webcam and mic. Geekbench this Cinebench that. Thanks so much for watching please like and subscribe!” I’ve been posting comments on every single new mac review about comparing it to an old intel mac but nope. “M3 is about 10% faster than M2 which is disappointing”. No one gives a damn about what viewers want, what pros do with their devices and what are the expectations. It’s only Geekbench, Cinebench, Performance per Watt, blah blah blah… I can’t care enough about the wattage under full load, I want to see how faster and smoother the experience is comparing to a potato based intel MacBook Pro base model!

Thanks for this! I’m torn between the M3 air 13” and the Pro 14” I value portability but don’t care much about the weight. I’m a mobile and web dev so that would be 90% of the time. I wonder if 13” is enough for comfortable coding sessions on the go or if it should be 14”. Also de 14” is supposed to be brighter and overall a way better display. In terms of performance, the Air 18 RAM 1Tb SSD looks good enough for most times, but I’m also keen to do some video editing and even check the progress of gaming in the years to come. Ideally I would buy this machine and it lasts for at least 5yr. If I go for the Pro, I’d want to just get a high end option, as in the highest Pro (not Max) and 36Gb RAM. This puts the Air in around $3000 AUD and the pro in about $4300 AUD. I quite a bit difference, but if the Pro with high specs is 100% a longest lasting machine, I’d consider it. I plan to travel a lot and work on the go the coming years, so battery life is quite important as well. I’d appreciate any opinions on this!! Thank you!!

I'm looking to upgrade my macbook pro (2017 model) to a new model. I know that any model, even an m1 air, is a significant improvement on my current one but i'd really like to go for an M3 model. now im debating between whether i should get the more expensive Pro (18 ram, 512 storage) or the m3 air (16 ram, 512 storage). My primary concern is usage of tools like Docker and running ML models (test versions) locally. Do you have any recommendations for that? the difference in price is about 600 euro for me and im wondering if a m3 air would be sustainable long term for frequent/longer usage of Docker and running/testing ml models

Upgraded my wife's 10 year old macbook pro to M3 MBA with 16/512 config. I was debating on getting a M2 MBA 16/512 but it was only around a $300 difference even after additional work discounts. All the retailers in Canada don't seem to carry 16GB M2 or M1 MBA variants.

Same in Mexico, everyone here is selling the 8 gb version, the only way to get a 16 version is via online or going to the Apple store

This was the video I was searching for. I am Java backend developer, in each macbook review they talk about audio/video editing and 100 other things, but no specific developer use. Thank you so much man. Would really appreciate it if you can create a video on all the M3 macbook possible for developers. Right now I am confused between macbook air M3 16/512 and macbook pro M3 pro 18gb/512. On rare thought, just to save money what if I buy macbook air M3 8/256, and my use will include some personal web/mobile e2e development along with binge watching, etc.

Would you say 16Gb of RAM should be enough for a FullStack Dev with a VM running? I’m upgrading from a MacBook Pro 2019 with 32 Gb RAM

Hey I took a fresh m3air 16/512 , I’m really happy with it . I’ve add some thermal pad and performance stability increase a lot for 2-5 min workload ( especially in clamshells) My usage is coding // managing // low wow gaming

I've been looking for this. So docker can run smoothly on Air?

That’s what I needed! Finally a guide on what to get when coming from an intel MacBook Pro. I Was kinda torn between the M2 Air and the M1 Pro MB Pro. Will definitely get an used M1 Pro 🫡
