Thank you for the support. I wish I could commit more time to youtube but it's hard with kids and running a business. Hopefully this can be full time one day.

Thanks man. So hard juggling business, two kids and KZfaq. Having too much fun with KZfaq content :)

My friend! Such a delight seeing you in the comments. Thought you won’t remember the channel name haha. More Bangladesh content coming~

Thanks man. Appreciate it, say hi if you ever bump into me lol.

I was traveling in South East Asia and it was a pain hauling around my 2012 Macbook Pro 15". It a lot better when I switched to something lighter when I traveled to Spain this year.

Thanks!! I appreciate any real-world examples of this. I need to travel as light as possible. @@tamwilfred

@@mirandadunsterville You are welcome. Another thing if you end up traveling in Europe or Asia, and take public transportation to get around, then traveling lighter would be better. If you have the means and take taxis, uber, grabs rides then the exta weight isn't so bad. I have spent close to two years traveling around. The less baggage and wieght I had the easier the mobile experience was. I did the slow travel experience where I would spend about three months in one location and still found traveling lighter was the better experience.

Hahaha bring the air for all travel gigs.

Ooft. What an upgrade! You’re going to love it.

What colour did you get? @AndrewNez

Ooft. Wisdom.

I agree if u have budget to take 14 inch

100%.. youtubers need to realise that 99% of the viewers never create videos in their life.

Best laptop Apple has ever made. Unfortunately I have to use 16 inch M1 Max because of my work.

Hey Cephas, I mention your comment in the next video. Dropping this Friday 6pm Sydney time. Hope you end up on this ecosystem~

@@thesamuelnam wow Sam. Thank you 😊. I’ll be keeping that video forever ✊🏽

My fellow geek. You are the perfect community member for this channel :) will shout out when I hit 2000.

512ssd 8gb ram. Did the job well with this spec.

Hey thanks. The battery I was showing in the video is made for video cameras and gear so it’s a little expensive. I’d get anything that can handle 40W power delivery via usb c (look into Anker). The vlock battery I used in the video was about $400/battery which isn’t worth it if you’re not using it for production.

I use my tools like they’re tools and don’t mind them getting banged up due to wear and tear. I can definitely see the usbc port showing silver due to plugging in SD card read a thousand times. No scratches but finger print is the only thing visible in certain light. Wouldn’t get any other colour for MacBook Air though I love it. Space Grey is the safe option if you’re fussed about finger prints and silver usb ports.

Think my attention span for work is like 2 hours tops before needing a break. Not because of eye strain, but just brain fatigue.

If you’re not careful (I wasn’t) the usb port starts to get silver on the edges. The lid, bottom and sides color stayed as midnight.

The port started to get a little silver on the edges but I didn't baby it and never used magsafe to charge. Just USB c dock.

Ah. You need to get the base with 512gb ssd upgrade for 2 nand chips.

512gb SSD was the only upgrade. Yeah, the 16 m1 max is just massive. Can't be replaced, though. The power is insane.

@@thesamuelnam Thanks for replying! So 8Go of RAM was enough for you as the main powerhouse is still the Pro Max?

@Gyls Troy kind of. I cut a bit where I talk about the real reason for buying the mba. It was for our photo studio, m2 512ssd is plenty for that. Was surprised by how well it handled my m1 max work flows. But rendering was reaaaaaaal slow in comparison.

Not really. I use a M1 Pro 16" as daily driver and take it anywhere when i really need/want it, but i also have a car so weight is not an issue. In a basic backpack the 16" as well any other device fits in so i cant care less. The bigger screen makes it so much better to use than anything < 15". Also, remember - like 5 years ago a 15,4" notebook with 2,8kg was considered "light" and compact. A modern 16" MacBook weights about 2kg so even 30% less than a once "light" notebook. Also its smaller than most 15,4" notebooks. 15,4" was a "regular" notebook size, 13-14" a small notebook and >17" a "desktop replacement". Just seeing how powerful and silent M1/M2 macs are nowadays and with that screen size, yet "small" and "light" even the 16" - Its definately compact and light! The only issues i would see with the 16", as in the video seen regular usage on planes, so basically small areas to use might be a bit wrong for the biggest model. But how often you are that limited in space to be a problem?

Totally enough, but I would make sure to get 512 for sufficient memory swap as well as 2 nand chips so your read write speeds are much faster than the base 256.

@@thesamuelnam thank you :3
