@@limbitsafe6620 Ok i think i exaggerated , MacBooks have good sound quality but windows laptops have better and they're more value for money

@@princethakur8424 There is almost complete consensus among reviewers that MacBook Pros have the best laptop speakers in the world, it's not even a competition. MacBook Pro speakers are the best among laptops.

most people choose air because it isn't as expensive as the macbook pro.

Most people choose the Air because it is the most accessible Apple laptop in terms of price.

also most people that buy mac in general dont know anything about tech and dont know what to buy so they just pick the brand that they know will deliver a satisfactory experience. Maybe not the best bang for your buck, but they will still buy it.

Yes! 😂 I just bought it because it was lighter than a pro - I upgraded everthing on it.

Do it, do it, do it

Back in 07 th MBP was definitely ahead of the curve in design. But until the M1 released Apple was outsourcing for RAM, Graphics and Processors, so in terms of "Bang for your Buck", it was a huge rip off... Now, with Apple's custom chips and the performance that comes with it, it's a Different story entirely.

@@MrGonz801 but macOS sucks compared to Windows 11. Apple really needs to step up the OS game

@@Minto107 i think windows 10 is better than 11, heck linux (arch specifically) is better than both

@@Barism I’m a web developer and I really love Windows + WSL connection it’s the best of both worlds

what you do and which cloud service you generally use ?

So true, I returned the 16 inch MBP as it was just comically heavy and wouldn’t even fit in a large messenger bag. It was actually so heavy that my legs would get tired just holding it in my lap after a while. Too bad as everything else was amazing.

@@smartlearning6390 I'm doing lots of web dev, azure computing, db services, trying out a VM locally has been pretty good as well but the shitty part is you'll have to pay a fee monthly where as windows is free

If they were the same price (same GB and SSD), would you still take the Air even if the Pro gives you more?

@Smart Learning do you think 15inch air is better than 13inch for work? as a software engineer

How’s the laptop? I’m a nursing student/art student and looking to get a laptop I can study with and do my creative work with. I never liked the smaller screens so any review on your experience with this laptop would help, thank you 💖

@@rose968 Hi Rose. So far, so good. I use both the 2023 MBP and 2023 MBA daily. I find the air keeps up with most tasks but the speakers are no where near as nice as on the MBP. The lack of ports is annoying too, but overall, it's a great laptop of the price. Screen is great, keyboard very comfortable, very lightweight too. Considering it's half the price of the MBP, it is definitely more than half as good... if that makes sense! I could do a video review of these if you like?

wish more cuz it aint happening.. apple needs to milk every last cent outta consumers

That’s why my 2013 MacBook Pro feels so slow. Thanks!

He's the bomb. Consistently relevant and brilliant. Plus he's got personality. We're very lucky.

Sunglasses next? 😎

The comparisons to cars helps me understand the car market better.

Then you would love the channel. Not sure why Apple is compared to Tesla. It’s not like more people know/have a Tesla, than have an Apple product.

Comparison was something but totally wrong, Tesla is not the best selling car in the market neighter is Apple selling most computers. Maybe it was something people want to hear but statistics are totally fake.

I love it when Tech KZfaqrs comment on each other's videos.

Yeah, right now I'm looking into a new day-to-day business laptop to replace my 15-inch ThinkPad. That inch downsize means I can carry it around a lot more easily. Plus, most 15-inch laptops are 1080p and the smaller Air still has a 2K display. Technically, it's a 1.7-inch difference, but I'm still not convinced I need a bigger screen.

@@ethanpschwartz Oh yeah, it'll be a hell of a lot more portable. I use a 15" ThinkPad every day at my shop, but I'm not lugging that thing around.

And I think the extra .6 to 13.6 really makes it almost the ideal size for me.

I think you should hit the gym if a 1.6kg ish device is too heavy to carry..

@@jonneymendoza no one is even talking about the weight, stop projecting

Ha definitely sounds like a Best Buy crowd.

If you want windows, you're going to get windows . If you want an apple product, you're going to get a mac.

Nah apple finna make you buy the pro 💀

The M2 chip only has 2 thunderbolt controllers on the chip, so they couldn’t add a thunderbolt port, however they could’ve added one more USB C port if they wanted to. Similar to the higher end 24” iMacs. But I would agree that they definitely did not need to, sure it would’ve been nice but having MagSafe and 2 thunderbolt ports is more than enough for the average consumer. I know plenty of people who are just casual users and they will go months and months without plugging anything into their laptop other than to charge it. Anyone who needs more ports can get the MacBook Pro.

@@MikeDold But I want a 16 or 17 MBA though?

Stupid banana price.

You are not a human are you ;)

15 is small and 13 is useless. 17 is big and 18 would be ideal.

@@chrisx5127 why is 13 useless lol

they can be annoying in sustained workloads

@@chrisx5127 17 is annoying. You might as well get a desktop

@@ipodtouch470 Why would I get a desktop? Can you carry a desktop?

Is the Air beefy enough for heavy workloads though? I can’t see myself leaving home without my M1 MBP.

@@MakeItMakeSense285 I agree with you on that, given it's officially their entry line laptop, what it does achieve with the M2 (a bump up from the m1) is quiet remarkable. I myself used the 13" M1 MBP and now use the 14" M1 Pro MBP for my personal use. Having dealt with "high end" windows laptop, from a coding point of view, this should be a breeze.

I'm more concerned about RAM size tbh, I'm on a windows desktop, just Jetbrains Rider and Unity open and the whole 16GB is used

@@yousifragab479 Unity ia quite the RAM hog. Photoshop too, I have 16GB Surface Pro 8 and Unity + PS eats all the RAM easily. From my experience Macs are really good with RAM management though, but I still wouldn't take less than 16GB for a Mac either, my old MB Pro is 8GB and it's just not cutting it. I'd really wish a touch screen for Mac should I ever go back. It's just so much more convenient to do mobile game testing directly in Unity editor with touch screen on SP8, plus it's easier to draw assets too.

why you and companies wouldnt recommend 96gb ram 16 inch macbook pro then? or 14 inch 96gb ram MacBook pro?

Same, still very happy with my m1 air and recommend it to everyone

I used to be excited about trading up for newer Apple models. But I haven’t found anything that has more benefits to me personally than the m1 air and iPhone 13mini, even putting price aside as a factor

How’s the editing power?

@@HenriqueVefagoSC Apple silicone is pretty powerful

@@HenriqueVefagoSC it's insane ...

I dunno why Apple takes 15' MBA's away, then reintroduce them when people want them back.. Sounds to me, [they] created the problem in the first place. Whats so bad about leaving an additional product on the site? They do that anyway now with the M1, M2, Ultra and whatever else.

@@Tech-geeky there was never a 15 inch MBA tho?

You're right. It's officially called MacBook Air 13”, and the screen size is 13.3”. Weird that Marques refers to it as 14" without reason or logic.

@@BumblebeeElectron I think it's 13.6 for the smaller MBA, so he just rounded it to 14". Classic MKBHD haha

@@alanbravo5830 I checked Apple's site before I posted that, and it's definitely shown as 13.3” in the specs. I just went back to the MacBook Air page and copied and pasted that 13.3” just for you, lol. Anyway, I think since the size is part of the actual freaking name of the product, it only makes sense for MKBHD to use that to avoid confusion.

@@BumblebeeElectronYou’re wrong, it’s a 13.6” display. I just looked at the specs again and i have the laptop.

@@josephwilcox You're right! I was looking at the M1 like a dummy.

Absolutely same for me. Thinking about switching to the 15 inch Air at the moment. Did you do the switch?

@@sndro1 same lol

Can you not 3 finger swipe multiple desktops on the 15” air?

And that's exactly why it's not 120 Hz. Artificial product segmentation is Apple's bread and butter.

@@chrys9256True, but it’d also make it quite a bit more expensive

@@akajambas And kill the battery life.

I find myself thinking if the Air line can be configured with 32GB of RAM whenever the M3 hits I could see going for it because yeah, I don't do a lot of intense development on my personal systems, but totally agree the 120Hz display of the Pro line plus the addition of HDMI and SDXC ports plus better speakers and higher spec CPUs makes the 14" Pro feel worth the added cost. Between it and the 13" and 15" Air models as well you kinda need to go with the 13" to have any sort of noticeable benefit IMO, which is the 13" model being nearly a pound lighter.

@@white.lodge.dale.cooper I’m sure it has adaptive refresh rate

Perfect timing. I hope I can find it at an affordable price in Germany since I am buying my first ever macbook and dont want to fall into the trap of buying the new shiny M3 Model

Really great point looking into getting one as we speak!

But then it's 14" again...

Having it all just "there" is good, but you can always attach a bigger display as the expensive of being 'portable' There has got to be some tade-off's.

Yeah, for college, 13-14" laptops are the sweet spot, especially in terms of portability. Having a laptop under 3 lbs makes you not even feel the weight in your backpack. When you're at home, just connect to an external display.

@@Tech-geekyyeah, if I need a bigger screen I’ll just plug it into an external monitor or a TV. Same reason why I own an 11 inch iPad Pro instead of a 12.9 inch

the problem is confirmation bias. If you had thought otherwise, you'd have been your worst enemy

I have the 16" MacBook Pro and can use it on the train. I don't see what your problem is.

@@zoltanzana the trains where I live have 3+2 seating layout so they’re narrower. Typing this from my 13” MacBook on the train where it just about fits but no room for my coffee :p

And that's why I haven't jumped on any of these. I'll wait for the M3 and see what the landscape is like before I purchase. My question is do they do two separate or one mega event for the M3 both Air and Pro with M3 Pro and Max Chips. I'm thinking the latter to boost the whole lineup.

m3 will be an insane step

Software engineers prefer 16" MacBook Pro

@@zoltanzana When i’m at home or at the office yeah got 2-3 4k external monitors, but when I’m coding away outside nah To be fair tho, I don’t bring a bag to work, just my laptop

Agreed. When I saw this 15" Macbook Air come out, I thought it was my dream computer, but when I went to see it in person, it looked too large and the 13-14 inch looked much better to me.

The 16” comes with a couple of bonuses: the display is larger, you will get more of that beautiful mini led display, the bezels look slimmer due to the ratios, the notch looks smaller for the same reason. The 16” gets a larger trackpad which is more convenient to use and the speakers are better giving richer sound. As far as battery life the 16” gets three hours more in terms of web browsing, and also gets a more powerful 140 watt power supply.

Watching this on my HP ProBook 630 G1...😭😂

You’re not wrong. I recently bought an Amazon excellent refurbished MB M1 Pro 16 for about $155 less than the M2 air with 16gb and 512gb. It’s a better computer in almost every way.

I would recommend getting the pro in terms of professional use. I started off as a photographer myself and I never knew I’d get into video editing and animation alongside it. 😅

m2air15 should be more then adequate. (m1max owner here)

that work doesnt needs the pro chips, base m1/m2 is perfectly fine and probably the same performance, lucky you :)

@@JohnSmith-pn2vl I have a base M1 Air currently, it slows down a tad when doing Lightroom. Maybe going for 16GB would have helped.

It’s Apple, what do you expect ? Outside of good deals at 3rd party vendors (e.g., BestBuy) or the Apple Cert Refurb store, you’re always going to pay that rip-off premium or as some call it, “Apple Tax” 😢😂
