Good job for the explanation!
Nice roundup Brandon 🙌
Thank you Seamus, bit of a disappointing event this year!
Great video, enjoyed that
Thanks Anthony!
Why don’t you just buy a cover case for it I have one on mine midnight m3 and it works wonderfully.
Can i Buy 16GB ram , 256 GB SSD variant for Doing Video editing/Productivity. is that Best buy..?
You could do that but you’ll need an external SSD at some point
I'm an iPhone 12 owner and I wouldn't say my phone is working perfectly😅I still can't justify the upgrade since I can do everything I want on my iPhone 12. Phones are getting so good nowadays to the point where an upgrade is probably due every 5-6 years imo. I want to lower my screen time as well. Having a slow-ish phone helps with that😂😂 Other than what I said, great video man🫶
Completely agree man, screen time is always a struggle for me.. I want to lower it but I’ve spent a lot on the phone so I should use it… strange battles to be had😂
Dope video man! The Magbak case and accessories are top notch. The magnets are super strong like you said😂 I take the Airpods Pro 2 with me everywhere I go. It's such a big upgrade from my Gen 2 Airpods imo. I'm still rocking my Tissot watch. I'll upgrade it eventually haha. You'll probably have plenty of great recommendations for me when the time comes.
Thanks man! AirPods Pro 2 are the best thing I’ve bought in a while (thanks to your recommendation!) and I’ll be here when the watch world is calling your name again don’t worry 😎
Every component explained in 8 minutes. Super stuff! I need to see the new PC build🤩I also need to build one myself at some point🙂
Exciting man! Have you any parts in mind?
YES... love it!
Awesome!
Fantastic video! Extremely helpful and thank you so much for explaining all of that. First video out of about 10 that I’ve watched that actually explained what all that stuff is and how it works 🙏
I really appreciate that, glad it helped!
Should I buy them now Or buy airpords 4 ANC?
The good news is that AirPods pro 2 have got even better following that event and Apple didn’t replace them which tells me they still think they’re worth buying! Watch some reviews and see what you think.
8/256 or 16/256 or 8/512
Depends on what you’ll be using it for but always more RAM less storage if you have to pick one. External SSDs can always be added
I will just use it for browsing, watching videos and trading. Also i want it to be future proof. So i should get 8gb or 16gb ram ?
You should be fine with the base model if you don’t plan on increasing workload to the likes of video editing, etc.
should I get m3 air 8/256 just for youtube netflix web browsing? is this good enough? is that good for 6-9 years? (sorry for my english😅)
Hey! The base model will be perfect for years to come if that’s all you are doing 😎
This was VERY helpful! I’ve had my first pair of AirPods (AP2) since 2019 and it’s time to upgrade them 🤗.
I’m glad to hear it helped! They are a great pair of earphones 😄
I love my mini 2. Need nothing else
Same here! The best all rounder tbh
yeah i'm gonna upgrade. using the iphone 12 rn it's earpiece doesn't work properly and the battery is terrible.
It’s going to be a big jump I’m excited for you!
Should I buy airpods pro now or wait? I hope they dont release new airpods pro next week.
Hey - I think they are going to be releasing new AirPods so I’d hold off and see what they come out with. It’s only a few days at this point 😁
@@brandonkennedy thanks! I will wait then. Cheers!
@@gb649 No problem!
@@gb649 I still think it's good to get the Airpods Pro 2. If you want good ANC, then the new Airpods are not for you. If ANC isn't a necessity, then the Airpods 4 without ANC would be a good choice for you.
Nice video BK, im an apple nerd but you make sense. I may well keep my 15 pro for another year
Thanks Anthony and yeah your phone will be perfect for another year (and more) but iPhone 17 should be a decent upgrade so it’ll hopefully be worth the wait 😎
By your recommendations, I'm due an upgrade...sh*t 🤣Talking head scene looks really well!
Hahaha not at all! If it’s not broken don’t fix it - thanks man still some work to do but the new lighting should help 🙏🏻
Why does M3 air feel heavier than Acer Asus swift vivo books?
Are they an all metal build?
damn sir you're rich
@@shanedawson4277 I wish!
Too fast, too advanced for one who needs step by step!
What in particular do you need help with?
I will be doing MBA. Is 8GB Ram enough? Mostly MS office stuff like excel and PPT
Yep you should be fine!
@@brandonkennedy thanks!
Scann
$2097 for 16gb ram 😅 oh god
It ain’t cheap!
I am a student is it worth for me to get one?
It all depends, do you need it?
I am a programmer
I do not do that high of problems but I feel it is the most value for money
My Dell XPS 15 has 32GB RAM and it still sucks most of the time. How's compared to that? I'm planning to switch to a Mac, probably Mac Air 16/512 variant. I wish I could get a refurbished one in India.
what xps ??? what year --- dont be fooled 8gb of mac is not 16gb on windows.
As Rusty mentioned, RAM on a windows machine vs Mac are really not compatible, MacOS is far better optimised to use the RAM it has.
@@Rusty01 XPS 15 9510, 2023 It’s not that old but really sucks randomly on normal use. Sometimes it works just fine even with resource intensive work but not reliable I’d say.
I’m thinking of getting the 8 GB/256 GB variant and will be using it for normal tasks such as Word/Excel, browsing, research etc. Since I do research I will definitely have too many tabs open at once, although I won’t use Chrome considering how it much RAM it uses. I will also be using R on RStudio. Is the 8 GB option good enough? I need to save money but don’t want buy a Windows laptop
It should be fine, but if you want to future proof yourself the next model up (even just 16gb of ram) will be a massive help.
Sickkk EDC - don't go near the city centre with all that gear though... The Magbak gear looks brilliant - nice video Brandon!
Thanks a million man! Absolutely 😂
"as little items as possible" sb "as few"
I said items not words..😂!
Nothing beats a good watch. I want to invest in a good suit, shoes & feel like a true professional.
Completely agree, just be careful the world of watches are like a never ending money pit😂😁
@@brandonkennedy I bought a lovely gold watch from H. Samuel’s in the Blanch shopping centre. Only watch I own. I’m not at the stage where I can afford several watches. I’m a broke university student haha
@@Siopc very nice, ahhh that’s only for now, just remember it once you start earning 😄
One of these days I will cave and splash out on an omega, but for now it's all going into the freelance business haha, but sick video man!
Thanks man! I think it would suit you 😁😁 Best of luck with the business venture excited to see what you do 🙌🏻
What’s in your EDC?
I use a base 8gb Mac mini for a lot of professional video work and not once in the past year has it been an issue, it's weird to see people say the minimum you should get is 16 or even 24gb of ram, I think its overkill, but then again I don't have 50 things open while editing cause there's no point of that.
Yeah everyone’s use case is different, it’s a great machine though glad you’re enjoying yours!
Hi, for music recording like GarageBand. Does the performance very fast by only m2 chip (not pro) 8gb Ram?
It should be fine, but I’d recommend looking up videos tailored to that use case.
I am praying about starting a church, and initially I’m looking for something that I can study on, make notes and print off documents for sermons. Later if it grows possible slides and perhaps some video/sound usage. I’ve heard mixed reviews. Do you believe the baseline mini would suffice for me? Or should I save up more and go with one with more processing power? The mini would initially be used in my apartment and possibly used as a home church computer. What do you think the life would be?
Go for the mini with M2 16gb ram and 512gb. This should be enough for you. 8gb would be enough too but it's always best to keep the future in mind as you might be doing other things with this machine
Base model will be fine but as mentioned if you’re thinking about future proofing it’s always best to go for the additional ram.
@@brandonkennedy I’ve settled on the base model but with 16 gigs unified memory. It’s gonna be a powerhouse!
is the macbook pro m3 14 inch 16gb ram good for carrying around in my backpack or would it be too heavy? I like how it has a good screen so I can do homework outside and the 16gb for future proof. The 16 inch might be good cuz if a bigger size right but then I feel it would be too heavy since the pros are heavy the airs. I found an open box pro m3 14 inch 16gb ram 512 gb for $1,413, and I paid $1,400 for the same version except 16gb. So I was thinking about getting the 16gb since its pretty much the same price. Also, since the pro has an HDMI port I can connect it to my tv right?
I am looking to buy m3 macbook but can't decide whether to get 8gb ram or 16gb ram. I will use it for school purposes (studying) which include browsing, word/excel and other school related tasks. Which ram do you suggest to get?
Just bought, 4-6 tabs of chrome, emails… 10 gb already used of 16
Guess I will get the 16gb ram
You could get away with the base model - I did my entire computing degree with a base model that wasn’t apple silicon and it was fine but it did struggle as the years went on and as I threw more at it.
@@brandonkennedy I bought the 16gb one for future proofing
Really informative Brandon! I definitely would love to see a full build guide for your upcoming build!
Thanks Seamus! Leave it with me 🫡
First
Ayyy howdy!
people tank on these but i deadass love these airpods
Agreed man! Great piece of tech.
Right. People always talk junk about the sound quality. It’s great.
Can you run dual monitors on the mini?
Yes you just need an hdmi adaptor for one of them. That's my set up.
You can indeed! One USB-C and one HDMI
Thanks for the reply 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your video. Very professional and informative.
Thanks a million for the feedback. I hope it helped 🙏🏻
I bought the M2 Pro Mac Mini with the 16GB ram and 512GB SSD. It's only $1099 if you buy refurbished from Apple and $1299.99 if you buy brand new. However after 3 months I sold it. I really started to look at things over the last 2 weeks on my Dell inspiron now. A big comparison here. Overall Windows PCs are a lot better. Here's a list of why. #1. The taskbar combines the menu bar and dock together with time, wifi, notices, volume, applications, all into one bar on Windows. #2. The dock is annoying in Mac as it doesn't cover all the way to the left and right and leaves open space not covered by anything. #3. Windows has over 500,000 games on Steam, Gog, EA, and Epic game launchers. #4. Apple doesn't allow any upgrades on there macs anymore, it's all system on a chip. No upgrades at all! #5. Only USB-C inputs. Some have thunderbolt 4 which is USB-C combatable. Some have 2 and some have 4. Only Mac Mini has 2 USB 3 inputs. #6. Mac requires a cell phone for sign in. Windows never does! #7. To quit an app on Mac, you must go to the menu bar, name of app, close program. In Windows it's easier with just X. #8. Mac doesn't have Window snaping to left, right, corners, and specific fit ways now in Windows 11. #9. Windows has the best graphics available and better frame rate than console games. #10. You get more inputs on Windows PCs. #11. Windows PCs cost less. #12. In Windows, documents, pictures, music, and videos files are already there by default in the file explorer. But in the Finder on Mac you have to enable these with settings in the menu bar. A big reason why Windows is better and easier to use and cheaper. #13. You can upgrade a Windows PC, you can't upgrade a Mac at all anymore. A big reason why Windows PCs are better.
Lots of good reasons in there, but windows simply can’t compete when it comes to ecosystem and how all the products work together.
im going to be starting university soon for cyber security, i think the 16gb variant is worth it, especially since I want the macbook air lasting atleast 4 5 years
Completely agree, best of luck with cyber security 🙌🏻
Hii bro i am a cyber security student studying btech 2nd year my doubt is macbook air m3 16gb 256gb good for cyber security ?? Please reply
@@chinniapparao6616100% worth it
The 120hz is a huge selling point to me. For something that you use every day, you'd want it to feel butter smooth. I just can't justify buying a new iPhone right now as my iPhone 12 is working fine (most of the time). Maybe when the iPhone 17 drops👀
Completely agree, it really makes it feel even more premium. I definitely would struggle going back to the non pro models now. That’s the right approach to tech, if it’s not broken don’t fix it!
omg.... wish I had seen this video before buying air m3 with 8 gb ram. Im really bad at laptop specs, so asked shop assistant help me with the choice. He said 16 and 8gd have no differences in performance, so i went with the cheaper option.... Maybe il try trade in and get even m2 with 16gb
Don’t worry you still have a very capable laptop. What kind of work do you do on it?
@@brandonkennedy I wanna try myself in video editing, but mostly I’m gonna use it for studying
@@oleksiytsabun8985 Try out some video editing and see how it goes - it may be fine depending on how complex you go!
The Mac Mini is a great computer. My M1 Mac Mini with 16GB of ram holds up quite well today. I love the machine!!
I’m glad to hear it! It really is a powerhouse 😁
Using a non pro iphone is genuinely insane to me
Use pro one it is infinity
How so?
