I Tried EVERY 2024 MacBook: Here's EVERYTHING You Need to Know

It’s hard finding the right MacBook and it’s even harder when each model is so similar, but what if you were someone who spent too much money on these things and used all of them before. Or at least most of them. That would describe me too well. Let’s talk about it.

But we’ll talk about the MacBook airs, pros, their screen sizes, storage, ram, accessories, and my own personal picks of what I’d recommend based on budget and needs.
Okay. So this has everything I learned after owning quite a few macbooks, and most of the Apple silicon lineup. I hope you find this information useful in some way, and I’d love to know what you think. After this, what are you thinking about getting? Did this breakdown guide you to that decision in any way?

M1 air refurbished through apple with 16GB memory and 512GB SSD is $1099 which I was considering but I ended up going with open box good condition base M1 Air Gold from Best Buy for $605. It's in perfect condition and I'm only using this for taxes, typing long emails, Figma in browser, making invitations for parties and light stuff I don't want to use my iPad on and it's been amazing. I use my company issued laptop 16" M2 Max with 64GB memory for engineering work and that thing is way too overpowered and heavy for what I do in my personal life. Great content!

I don’t wish to be the bearer of bad news, but… I have an M1 Air 5 iPad. It’s plagued with issues, especially after the most recent 17.4.1 update, in my case; Google: M1 iPad / MacBook not charging after 17.4.1. Presently, my device no longer charges without being restarted. I understand, this being Apple’s first foray into designing their own in-house chip, which also has an unpatchable design flaw, which will eventually be exploited, but it’s faulty and every subsequent patch appears to come with more issues. My advise, avoid the M1, if at all possible, no matter how tempting…

Personally, before watching this video, I purchased a refurbished 15 inch base model M2 Air from Apple with only 6 battery cycles for $1019 about 2 wks ago. I only use my notebook for simple browing, KZfaq, reading, etc. Essentially the lightest use case possible for most people and I wanted a larger screen for viewing which was why I didn't opt for the cheaper m1 Air or the 13 inch m2. I think for people like me, this is a perfect choice! The battery life, display size and brightness, and speakers are beyond great for regular usage

Thank you for this. Curious on your take on my hilarious (?) situation. Right now i'm using a 2013 MacBook Pro that I upgrade as much as i could at the time. I've used it HEAVILY - I am a sound designer and video editor, and i have also used Motion a few times (and will be using After Effects in the next couple of years). I'm more than due for an update, as you can imagine, I can't even update the operating system, and programs like Logic really struggle. So anything will be an improvement. Because of video editing, and my old eyes, right now i'm looking at getting the 16" M3 Max 16 Core - with 2TB. My question is - do you think the 128GB is worth it? The only reason the one i'm on now has survived is because of the money i put in it when I bought it - so the extra cost would be worth if that was the case. However it is a $1000K, and i'm an artist, no a rich person ha. Thoughts? I am leaning toward the 128GB.. but i also don't want to just be burning money. I give Apple enough of my money as it is.

No one talk about the speakers much but the MBP M3 speakers are much better for content consumers than the Air and has a better screen. Sure you can use a Bluetooth speaker but is something else to carry around. I do some image editing on my M3 it does fine. Knowing what I know now I probably would have gotten the M3 Pro for future proofing.

Just bought the M3 15” air yesterday and I have to say this is my favorite. Form factor and screen size is unbeatable. I have to say I am more comfortable working on it, having a bigger screen and using it for productivity, marketing work and online businesses.

I currently use the 2016 MacBook pro so it’s due for an upgrade especially because it doesn’t support software updates anymore. I do 3d design work but am also a student so, I need performance but also portability. Budget is not an issue because I am going to be using it for 8-10 years and I want something that will last performance wise. I checked on my iMac and I am using at least 32 g of RAM. I was thinking of waiting for the M4 max 14’ but those would probably have the same overheating issue as the current gen so I am not opposed to the 16’. What do you guys suggest I buy?

@mardengonzalez3561 Күн бұрын

If you can wait you may as well just wait for the m4 roll out. Look at specs, testing, and then decide whether you want an m3 or m4 for your work loads. Also the M3 will probably be cheaper by then too because of the m4 models replacing. In the end if you can save those couple hundred bucks, why not?

Just a few videos ago I did a desk setup video in a completely different style that I loved doing even if it performed awful! But that also does include items I use in my day to day life. But humor on the channel has dropped and that’s probably due to a some stressful things going on in my own life the last couple of years but something I’ve been trying to add back in where I can. For example I started trying portable pc handhelds and they’ve been super interesting for me and hoping to push out content on that sort of thing and more experimental stuff this year. This comment definitely echoed a lot of sentiment I’ve been feeling myself and I appreciate someone also pointed it out!

For pros 32gb is the bare minimum as it is shared with the cpu and GPU. This will help avoid ssd wear and slower performance. Think before you buy a 8gb 256 GB Used mac as they can never ever upgraded. And on.m1m2m3 when.that ssd goes it will not boot from external drives meaning your machine is now worthless. This is why an upgradeable ssd is so so important to stop planned obselence and e waste. Apple did this on purpose to make higher profits on at purchase ram and storage and to make sure these machines die once the ssd dies making users need an entire new machine. This is unfortunate and extremely risky for pros and business. Who need to Be able to destroy and or replace the ssd. Or add memory when or if need changes. Unfortunately others are doing this as well now. Even Microsoft does allow ssd removal and upgrades as corporations will not buy unless they can do that. They must be able to destroy the ssd or change it if needed.

I'm quite confused between the 13" M2 air with 16gigs or the M3 Pro mbp. ~2200 for the pro and ~1500 for the air where I live. I am someone who works on AI and trains models. I have been getting by just fine with a 10th gen Intel i7 H series processor with 16gigs of ram, though it has started to get slow and be a bottleneck. I usually have a lot of tabs open and multiple editors, some that are connected to VMs. I am pushing my current machine to 100% ram and cpu very often. I would soon be joining a tech focused masters. Although I can spend the 2200, it is no doubt going to be a huge dent on my pocket. Even the air is quite expensive, but I am fine with that much. I'd probably be using this machine for a good part of the next 4-5 years. Does it make sense to save on the cash and go with the Air, I am willing to manage the occasional hiccups. Or does the pro seem like that much better an investment being about 50% more expensive? TYIA.

I have changed some settings which helps with battery life but Im just wondering if getting a macbook pro/air is worth it at all? and like would it be better than my current specs as of now? and how much battery life am i expecting. Basically in short, the macbook is meant for bringing to school so its easier on my back ache and I can bring it out to cafe etc to study at the same time while leaving my legion at home as the main work desk etc i guess ? looking to do graphic design related in the future and also self learning blender here and there( ofcos I have my legion to run the 3d software) the macbook probably will target more of photoshop/illustrator/premier pro and such...

I just ordered a refurbished MacBook Pro M3 with 18 ram and 512 storage versus 15 inch MacBook Air for the same price which I’m returning. 🎉. My M1 MacBook Pro suddenly died on me. The extended warranty had just run out and they wanted $700 ship it off to a facility to check it out. I have also had trouble with the M1 iPad Pro dying on me. I’ve had to replace it twice with the extended warranty. So I don’t know if anyone else has had trouble with M1 or I just got unlucky to have lemons. I really wanna just unscrew my M1 and see if I can put a new battery in myself or find someone that will do it for me. I really wanna know why that computer died. The main reason that I am switching to the pro is because as I get older colors seem to dim and fade on me and it’s hard to see them clearly. So I’m hoping that the pro will be clear and sharper for me. What do you think about that? it’s a big decision and a lot of money to drop especially since I just bought that M1 two years ago.

I have an M1 Air 5 iPad. It’s plagued with issues, especially after the most recent 17.4.1 update; Google: iPad not charging after 17.4.1. Presently, it no longer charges without being restarted. I understand, this being Apple’s first foray into designing their own in-house chip, which also has an unpatchable design flaw, which will eventually be exploited. My advise, avoid the M1, if at all possible, no matter how tempting…
