Which of these two is better for a university use (take notes, watching videos, using excel and other stuff)?: -MBA with 512 of SSD and 8gb of RAM - MBA with 256 gb of SSD (with the storage issue) and 16 go of RAM Considering that I would like to keep this MacBook for at least 5-6 years
@gabrieldsfaria 2 жыл бұрын
I think the first option. 8gb is quite good to handle those kinds of work and 512gb of storage would give you, besides more storage, more speed too!
@TonyNguyen-it7vd 2 жыл бұрын
Assuming your use case does not get more demanding down the line. You will benefit more from the 1st option . -8gb RAM is more than enough for your use case, you will NOT notice a difference between this and the 16gb -2 chips nand speed in the 512gb ssd is more noticeable when transfering larger files If you absolutely want to futureproof for years to come. The 16gb RAM 512gb is the way to go. But, imo with the price increase defeats the purpose of getting an air, what is supposed to be a budget tier laptop for light to moderate users. Also, financially it would make more sense to upgrade later and sell the current. Given apple laptops keeps it value very well, especially so for the base model.
@johnaart 2 жыл бұрын
@@TonyNguyen-it7vd agree..... As someone who has the same spec m1 air... I can agree 8gb is more than enough for a student... Considering i am video editing on this device and graphic design.... And the device is super fast... So i would recommend you only upgrade the storage
@gabrieldsfaria 2 жыл бұрын
I really think you shouldn't consider 256gb of SSD because apple made it with 1 chip rather then 2 of 128! It really means half the speed! The 512gb option is 2 of 256. Double the speed

Time for Tim Cook to step down... The company and the brand would be better served by the direction of Jony Ive at the helm... I think Jobs would have agreed. Offering 8G/256 (w/ 1 SSD chip) is another example of corporate malfeasance.

The design is boring and derivative. The Ive Air wedge was iconic and functional (eg. easier to lift off a desk). A blocky box with sharpish edges is rather Dell/Lenovo-like tbh.
@DionMedia 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Willem, Jony Ive has been part of the whole process over the past years so he is as “guilty” as anyone else :). Under Tim Cook Apple has grown tremendously and I do not see that change:). Yes, I see your point on the 1 SSD chip (against the past 2 chips) , but that is most likely related to the worldwide chip shortage. If this is not enough one has to upgrade I think
@Raja995mh33 Жыл бұрын
Jony Ive is a designer dude. He would NOT be able to run Apple like Tim Cook can because he's a business man. Apple is running better than ever before thanks to Cook... And do you seriously think that Ice or Jobs would've changed the config? With those two we maybe even still had a 4GB RAM model or 128GB...

I'd snag 256 GB with 16 GB of RAM. You can use cloud storage for files, and the RAM will give you plenty of room for browser tabs and running multiple applications at once. You're not going to need "speed" for any crazy large file transfers.
@DionMedia 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Giovanni, I am in the middle of preparing the tests for this device, but my suggestion probably will be to go for the larger storage as apps etc over time tend to get bigger. And if you mainly use it for university related work, than the 8GB of RAM should be sufficient
