3:13 , i hate to be that guy but for anyone considering the m2 and m3 models, they do have the updated 1080p webcam! :)

@potchinyan95 Ай бұрын

I noticed that too, that and the Magsafe 3 is its upgrades aside from the Chipset. I hope Apple puts 16gb as the minimum one in the near future.

Oh shoot my bad, thanks for letting me know man

For sure, good upgrade of you use them. I’ve had the M1 MacBook Air for like three years and used the webcam one time.. just to FaceTime with a friend to tell them I got one. I love the wedge design a lot.. I do wish I had MagSafe but not a big deal. I will use this thing til it’s so slow I can’t anymore. I hope that’s many more years cause the display and speakers sound and look better than my TV

I paid around $1240 back in 2021 for my M1 Air, 16GB Ram and 512GB storage. Account for inflation, it is crazy value for that machine. Easily one of the most economical machine I bought from Apple.

I went into Best Buy January 2021 when my Dell shit the bed. Was determined to get an XPS for $1k. The only one I’d have bought was like $1600 so I looked at the MacBook Air then at the specs.. left with it for $899+ tax and haven’t looked back. I still feel like I got a fantastic deal. It works better than any other laptop I’ve had and ironically costs 2/3 of what they did somehow. The M1 SoC is a monster… they really came out swinging with that one.

can this laptop be used for a music composing/production…anyone??? I would appreciate some help on that topic. Thnx

@atgred Ай бұрын

Yes. Just get and external ssd to save your projects and media there.

@sigiligus 13 күн бұрын

For very, very light production. Composing? You can do that on paper if you're a real musician, so there's no reason a laptop can't do it.

I’d heavily recommend this to anyone that’s getting their first Mac or just needs a laptop for general purpose stuff and they want a Mac. I have an M1 8GB Air, base base model, and I’m able to do medium-load video editing (church videos and photography) and some IT stuff flawlessly. Still an amazing laptop

I’m looking at getting one. I’m wanting to make 4k videos on iMovie of my kids volleyball highlights and our puppies. Would 8 gig be enough? I just sold my 2017 MacBook Pro with 8 gig because it would slow way down and heat up when I was using iMovie. On eBay 16gig is around $100 more than the 8gig. I’ve seen some 8gig models go for $400-450.

I had one in 2020.. and sold it because it gave me some problems with the logic board (or so they told me on Apple). I took an M1 Pro Macbook 14" but in these days I use an M3 Max Macbook 14". Still .. you know? I'd like to buy another M1 MacBook Air again!

I've had one since release, and i have no complaints, I use whiskey to play steam games, and Ive dropped it from high up and have had no problems. If I broke mine tomorrow I would buy a new one the same day.

This will probably be my next laptop if I ever get another one. My iPad Pro does the job for me. The new M chips set them on level with the MacBooks.

@DC_Cha_Cha_Cha Ай бұрын

Great prices on these now, even in the UK places like Argos sell them for around £800 which is good. The only concern is 8gb RAM, if that will still be OK in 5 years time etc

@racecarjonny8460 Ай бұрын

I have the M1 Air. I would buy another one if I could find a used 16gb version. Or, even a M1 mini with 16gb. But, they are rare to find used where I am from. M1 is great even in 2024. The only issue is 8gb.

I see people whine about the screen, but it's really no big deal. Yeah, it's a pretty standard screen, but standard screens are good these days. Some people seem to think in terms of "the best, most cutting edge luxury technology and total unusable garbage are the only two things that exist" when it comes to this stuff.

I’m going to buy it this week. My first MacBook…I hope it lasts a long time. I fear Apple is gonna be shady because the M1 is still selling and very cheap so they may take it off future updates. But let’s hope not. 😅🤞🏾
