The new Apple MacBook Air M1 is here and after everyone I know has been bugging me to try it with its new M1 chipset, I gave in and bought one. So let's see how someone not using Apple's programs does in terms of battery life, photo editing, video editing, and more in this M1 MacBook Air real-world test.

This guy is doing some actual practical tests by starting with the lowest base model which most people will buy.

Very nice 'real-world' review. I'm getting tired of seeing benchmarks and it's nice to see someone with a real appreciation for battery life. Yes, more memory is usually the better choice and I really can't wait (nor even imagine) what the next Apple Silicon machines will be like. We've got a pretty exciting couple of years ahead of us.

@yellit1975 3 жыл бұрын

I think it’s a smart move for Apple to move to its own chips. Hopefully, this will encourage/force intel, etc to raise their game. I only just bought a new MacBook about 6 months ago and so it’ll be a couple of years before I need a new one. Seeing as I don’t really use a laptop on the move, I might get a Mac mini or an M series iMac.

David, thank you for the videos and reviews. First, love the look of the apartment, the earth colors, and the wood. Second, you are a hard-core coffee drinker to be sitting outside on what had to be a cold day in NYC, I am very impressed. You need a coffee and coffee maker sponsorship for the channel. How hard is the transition to Apple products? Never used any of their products. Stay safe.

Most people misunderstand what's great about the "unified memory" If your CPU has an integrated GPU, it already has to share the system memory with the CPU. The great thing is that it's on the SOC, and that allows both the CPU and GPU to have very fast memory speeds.

Hello there m8! Nice video :) I'm pretty new to apple world and M1 macbook is my first-time-macbook ever. And I'm wondering... How are you managing you disk space when editing videos, photos etc? I mean- it's ONLY 256 gb of disk in my case. And I say only, because all these years I was using PC with more then 4 TB od overall disks space. So I used to have free space of my disk all the time, so the 30-50 GB recordings were not a problem for me. And now they are :) So are you using iCloud to manage all the materials you're using? Or maybe external drives all the time? What is your secret here? :D
