So glad I could help my friend! :)

in 8 gb ram or 16 gb ram?

@@techgaming8454 8gb

@@RunningInSuits Thanks for replying..i am also thinking to buy macbook air 8 gb for video editing..would it be good?

What about the very small 256 ssd? Will it make struggle handling the OS and other software files? Are you able to use an external ssd for the files and projects without any errors?

@@techgaming8454 if you're working with a single 4k video in Final Cut Pro, it should have no problems, especially if you proxy first.

Glad it was helpful! :)

And I ended up getting the Pro yesterday lol. 😁🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm somewhat new! I've only recently been uploading a lot of tech related videos. I'm glad you are enjoying them :)

Thank you!! And that’s awesome, when is it arriving?

It will probably arrive after 15th May, Because of covid restrictions and stuff here in India

Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thank you :)

Thank you!

I'm glad you enjoyed! :)

That’s awesome! I’m glad I was able to help :)

Is it good enough for video editing

Glad it was! :)

Yes thanks for pointing it out! I trimmed it in KZfaq’s editor, it should be processing soon! Unfortunately I wish I could keep that clip there but KZfaq doesn’t let you manipulate audio after posting lol So I just removed it, would rather protect your ears than leave it in haha

@@TerrenRule all good! figured I’d give ya a heads up! Lol keep up the good work

Thank you. :)

Thank you for sharing this. Been trying to figure out whether to get it or not. How do you think it performs with multiple windows open with a bunch of tabs?

@@jeffreyzie Thank you for your comment. Don't know what are your tab management preferences, I generally tend to keep as few tabs open as possible (aestethic reasons). However I often had 10 tabs open in Safari and another 5 in Chrome and there was no slowdown at all. Generally, I don't think that any reasonable amount of tabs will affect the performance. There is obviously a slowdown if you are rendering a movie.I also recently observed that when you animate a powerpoint and have other work apps opened (like Teams & Outlook) the browser might stutter from time to time, nothing serious however.

But if a late one, is it ok with 4k?

8Gb or 16 GB ??

@@RahulYadav-yg6zh maybe 16

Please help share if you got some info on this..

@@questrunnerchannel great..thankyou so much..video also will be very helpful..

no, no

$300 one-time payment, make sure you get plugins also

Thank you!! :))

I bet!

My MacBook air doesn't even come close to the rendering speeds of my ryzen 5600x rtx 3070 gaming pc.

Hey! Proxies are just low resolution video files that take the place of the original footage. It allows you to work faster and edit faster, as you aren’t using the full resolution of the video. Then once you are done editing, you turn off proxies, and export the video in the full original quality. I hope that makes sense!

same question!

Personally I have that same set up, I only face problems when I use color grading on playback. Otherwise editing especially on a T5 ssd has been nice.

Thanks for watching!! :)

Let me know when the SSD fails Bro

How good it now? Can u tell me tq 🙏🏼

no

I’m sure that will be more than enough. I edit 1080p videos with quad core i5 lol.

Hey.. I just ordered Mac air 7cpu 8gpu 8gb 512 ssd… and im wondering if I should have upgraded the ssd to 1tb. Just for basic KZfaq videos and blog social media content.. watching movies etc… I know you can always use a cloud.. how are you doing so far with 8gb/512 ssd? Thanks :)

@@JAtwinkletoes1386 Hi Liz A. Congratulations on the purchase! Sure you'll be happy. I've had it for some time now and it is the best laptop that I have ever used. Re your question: For the use cases you mention - basically browsing and consuming content, the SSD doesn't really matter as you are not actually storing/saving anything. So even 256GB would be fine. However, you will want to store some stuff and I think that you are saving to your SSD, then I think 512GB is a good 'sweet spot'. The 256GB will fill up very quickly. Regarding 1TB, it depends what you want to store on your computer. Video takes up the most space depending on resolution so obviously 8k>4k>HD>SD. Music, you are okay except when you get into Apple Lossless (or similar) & High Res Lossless which again use up a lot of space. Photos again depend on resolution. You will find so many different answers on the internet as to how much space various media take up. Thats because there are so many variables. The best way to estimate how much space you need is to do a sample (x10) of a particular media you use, see how much space is used and extrapolate from there. Note though, if you just want extra storage to get up to 1TB, you could always buy an external SSD - about half the price of Apple Memory. As for other specs in regard to your usage. 7/8 core GPU: The 8 core GPU is about 14% faster than the 7 core. You may see it in slightly improved frame rate in games but not in videos or movies. 7 cores are fine for that. 8/16GB Unified Memory The 8GB Unified Memory can handle pretty much anything. This is because it uses additional memory (swap) from the SSD when required. There is no single task that I am aware of that the 16GB can do that the 8GB can not. It may be that the 16GB is a little faster for some very specific tasks e.g. in rendering 6/8k videos or very heavy coding but in 99% of use cases you won't notice it.. The only 'limitation' I can see in 8GB is multi-tasking. But you have to put that into context. The 8GB can do a huge amount of multitasking, its just that the 16GB can do a colossal amount. In practical terms, I've never encountered a limit with 8GB unless I've deliberately induced it, as in open up 60x Chrome tabs + Da Vinci Resolve playing 8k vids + this + that + whatever. That's because of the swap memory. Even though it supposed to be 8GB, the Activity Monitor sometimes shows me using over 20GB! Actually, one thing I've just thought of. if you get something like 'Parallels' to put virtual Windows on your Mac, then 16GB would be a good idea as you have to allocate memory to that.

@@parjau4554 Hi there! Would like to consult you too. I am currently learning how to edit KZfaq videos, is Air sufficient in terms of durability and performance or should I get a Pro instead?

@@Fmaistix1 Hello. The M1 Air is fine. YT videos generally go up to 4k and the Air is more than good enough for that. In terms of M1 Air vs M1 Pro, for normal tasks there is no difference at all. For very extended video tasks where the CPU is running at 100% continuously, you may see a (theoretically as based on Cinebench results) difference of 5-15% depending on whether you have the 7 or 8 core model. In practice, from real world tests I've seen (e.g. rendering), the difference is at the lower end of that. So, performance wise, except at the most extreme of limits where the last iota may matter, there is nothing that the Pro can do that the Air cannot (I've actually got a 12k clip on Da Vinci Resolve that I am playing around with!). It's just that, on the odd occasion, the Air will take a little longer as it doesn't have an active cooling system. However, there is an upside to this because as far as durability is concerned, the Air is potentially better than the Pro in that it doesn't have a fan - no moving parts, no dust buildup inside. It's a solid machine, no signs of anything loosening in the 9 months I've had it, you just have to be careful with metallic objects as the anodised finish will scratch (shows more on the Space Grey), but that is the same with the Pro. One big positive for the Pro is battery life. It lasts substantially longer than the Air, 4-7 hours more from tests I've seen online (one channel had it going to 20 hours!). Something you may want to consider is that the Pro models will be upgraded very soon. If you want a Pro, I'd wait. It could be that this model will remain, if not and you want a particular feature (e.g. trackpad - which many believe will not appear on the next Pros), then you could always get a refurbished one from Apple and save money. Also, if it becomes the 'old' model, it will depreciate. I think (but obviously don't know) that the Air will be around for a while. People love it. The final thing to consider is memory. In my experience, there is no difference in performance at all between the 8GB and 16GB. The only difference is that you can almost limitlessly multitask on the 16GB and the 8GB will eventually limit (but that is an extremely high limit). Also, if you want to use Parallels and assign a larger proportion of memory to e.g. Windows, then having the larger memory would obviously be better.

Whoops, sorry. The feature which may not be on the new Pros is the Touch Bar, NOT trackpad!!! That would be a pretty useless laptop.

Takes time! Hopefully I’ll get bigger soon, thanks for tuning it my friend :)

Thank you 🙏

Purchased it 3 weeks ago. Refurbished and it is working very very good. I mostly edit iPhone videos and its working great. I've 8GB model
