M1 MACBOOK AIR REVIEW | A Good Choice For Computer Science Students?

M1 MACBOOK AIR REVIEW! How is the M1 Macbook Air for computer science? In this video, I test out Pycharm, VS Code, Xcode, Android Studio, monitor support, and more. Let's see if the M1 Macbook Air would be a good choice for computer science students!
Normally, I would not think that a macbook air would be a good choice for computer science students given that they need to run all sorts of programs on their computer, and thus would need a pretty powerful one. However, the M1 Macbook Air is unlike previous macbook airs. It is fast, powerful, and has great performance. So while I didn't intend to use the M1 Macbook Air for any computer science work myself, I'm beginning to consider doing so...
I hope you enjoyed this video and found it helpful. Again, this video is not meant to be comprehensive. Before you make any purchases, please make sure that any specific programs/applications that you need to use are able to run on the M1 chip!
💕Ella

Nope. Ram is only use when apps are running. Having many installed apps shouldn’t affect RAM usage. If you do have issue with 8GB, would suggest going with 16 because you can no longer upgrade the system by yourself without buying a completely new device

One thing that's important for developers, for day-to-day stuff, is the ability to run applications in Docker or similar container software (like Podman). Now Docker will eventually release a compatible version, but right now there's no way to run containers. And even with a container, it's gonna be weird to see how the translation will work between the container (most often it's gonna be x86) and the base system. Because it ain't gonna be Rosetta.

What windows/applications did you have open at 9:04 in order to recommend getting 16GB of RAM instead of 8GB? I've talked to a few others and read a decent number of reviews that say that they didn't have any problems with the base model of the MacBook Air even when running a lot of applications.

@fetchstixRHD 2 жыл бұрын

Can't speak for her, but I recently got the base model MBP. Using a browser like Firefox and opening multiple tabs is enough to get the memory section turning orange, pretty tempted to return it while I still have the time to (though considering I've bought and had to return 2 Mac Minis already, I just want a computer that works without me needing to worry about it, honestly!)

@popcornfury9095 2 жыл бұрын

@@fetchstixRHD To the best of my understanding, most modern applications try to use as much RAM/unified memory as possible (I came across this claim when I was researching whether I should get the 8GB or the 16GB version, but I forgot the source), so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Anecdotally, I asked a friend of mine who has the base model of the MBP for a screenshot of his Activity Monitor, and it showed that he was using 7GB (out of 8GB), but he says that as far as he can tell, performance hasn't suffered after a year of use. Personally I ended up getting the 16GB version since a lot of the CS/DS people I talked to said that if they wanted to do anything computationally demanding locally, the 8GB version might not suffice. Good luck making a decision :)

I have been watching lots of review about this M1 Mac, only Ella spots that 8GB of memory problem, thats really crucial. Thank you so much Ella, that made me rethink to buy M1 Mac with 8GB of memory. What about the space, how much space left after you installed Pycharm, VS Code, Xcode, Android Studio and Chrome? Is 256GB of SSD quite sufficient? I'm planning to buy it for apps developing too.

@CreatedbyEllaYT 3 жыл бұрын

Good choice on choosing 16 GB RAM! Even if you don't think you need that much RAM right now, I think that 16GB RAM especially helps to "futureproof" your laptop. This way, if you start doing more and more heavy work on your laptop, you won't have to worry about RAM. As for space, I had well over 100 GB of SSD left after installing those apps. I would say 256 GB is good enough if you don't plan on storing a lot of videos/other large files. Of course, you can always buy external SSD for pretty cheap!

I'm a bit surprised you are getting that memory issue with so few applications open. Other youtubers have stress tested the memory much harder and didn't have issues. Are you sure your applications and OS are up to date?

I later realized my Chrome wasn't the native ARM version. After updating to the native ARM version, I have not been hit with the out of ram warning. However, I've noticed by looking at my Activity Monitor that I still use very close to 8 gb RAM on a daily basis.
