Intel is ass, sold mine so fast got a m1,, wow.
For programmers, please note that at the time of this video, M1 doesn’t support docker yet. So it is something to think about
I had an i3 Intel air and went to an m1 pro...to say it’s a night and day difference is a severe understatement
In midst of making that transition myself too
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Amos Micah instablaster ;)
I bought an intel MacBook Air in August 🥺😭 waste of time, space, money, energy, natural resources lmao
Same
sad boi hours for u 2
If i were you i would sell it or trade it in for the m1 version
Facts, we got my mom the 2019 late last christmas and i just traded it in for the m1 they gave 600 for it, maybe you can get about the same if not more, also buy education pricing bc apple doesnt even check thats another 100 off
In the same boat brother I bought the 2020 intel MacBook Pro cuz everyone said not to wait for the first Apple silicon Mac smh
Man. Almost 300k subs and you still work a full time job. You most definitely are a hard working fella. I know of channels where they quit their day job at 100k.
I just received my 13” M1 MacBook Pro today :)
It’s quite the upgrade from my mid 2012 MacBook Pro! I was doing all my Lightroom and Photoshop on that beast for 5 years. It’s been rough.
Thank you was looking for this comparison specifically!
It's almost criminal recommending an Intel over the M1 under _any_ circumstances.
You ought to also wrap in resale value at the end of ownership when I'm sure it'll be not only worth less, but practically impossible to sell.
The biggest drawback is that you have very limited options for having windows 10 on your macbook at the moment. The only viable option is paying a DaaS.
@@philippebaillargeon5204 And Microsoft will probably get really salty about offering Win 10 ARM licenses for Apple Silicon computers when they outperform their own Surface offerings.
MS can _say_ they'll be offering their own custom ARM chips, but it's a really long haul project building a CPU that can compete with Apple Silicon - and they really don't have any in-house silicon design expertise. If they're depending on Qualcomm, they may not even be trying considering how expensive advanced CPU design is and what a small market ARM-based PCs represent.
All of Qualcomm's recent efforts have been juggling placement of standard ARM designed cores on their SoCs (including the Cortex-X1).
Watching this on my m1 macbook pro. Idk why. I just like his voice!😅😂
Well thanks so much!
MacBook Pro M1 is the same as Air except that it has a Touch Bar
Yeah !! His style is dope 😃
Not really.
@@TheEverydayDad 😳🤭 a big fan of yours!
0:37 42,000 emails and counting. You've got something to read 😂
My email filter is just not reading them 🤣
Hey, I've seen a lot of people are bricking their m1 MacBooks by using type c dongles. Have you had any problems while charging using dongles?
Great video. As you said, for those that only do basic app tasks, the added power of the M1 probably isn’t necessary, but I would suggest that if saving money is the biggest concern, waiting for the M1’s to start hitting the refurb site would make more sense than buying the Intel version. Buying an Intel version at this point guarantees that the device will be obsolete in 3-4 years (even if it continues to work for more than that). And also as you mentioned, the battery life alone is a huge benefit to the M1 MBA, not to mention the fan-less and low heat characteristics just make the Intel Macs seem outdated already. My wife got a 13” MBP a couple of months ago from her work, and the thing runs so hot, even when she’s just doing basic tasks. It’s crazy how bad the thermal design of the Intel chips are.
Yeah the intel chips were fine when they were the only option on the market. But anymore its a real big stretch to still recommend them to someone.
Would really appreciate it if you did the same video for the M1 vs. Intel MacBook pro ☺️
What the hell how did you know I exactly needed this kind of video? 😂 Well my situation is 2018 intel MacBook Pro to M1 air or pro but, this will greatly helpful thank you.
Hope it was worth watching!
I have a 2018 MacBook Air. It has 128GB of storage which I’ve nearly used up, plus the fact I’m starting uni in September so I kinda need more storage. I paid 1200 nearly for this in 2018 but I’m now thinking of upgrading to the M1 MacBook Air as it has a much faster chip, more base storage and will maybe do me better during the 5 years I’m studying. Is it worth it? The trade in price at Apple is 380 which is appalling so I’d sell it privately.
Hi Gary, thanks for sharing. I got a MacBook Pro mid 2020 i5 with >>32gb ram
I’m so glad I managed to sell my three month old i3 Air... the fan was blowing my ears out. It struggled with freaking zoom/teams calls. It performed worse than my old air. I was so disappointed.
gonna get the M1 soon
I’m not even a tech person but ever since watching your video on your iPad 8th gen accessories I’m obsessed with your voice and your videos 😭
What is this Apple refurbished website you talk about so often? I’ve checked their website so many times and can’t find it. Is it just on the American site or something?
Which would you recommend upgrading, memory or storage?
since the air will be redesigned in 2022 should i wait and get one then? or should i get the m1 now
You’re the best everyday dad 😍😍😍😍 I love watching your videos
Thanks so much!
I had a dilemma of getting an Intel MBA back in March but then I heard about Apple Silicon rumors in May and waited. I got my M1 MBA on launch day and its never let me down. Great video!!
Hey, I have a quick question to ask. I'm currently a senior in high school and I need a new computer my freshman year of college next fall. I'm really set on getting the new macbook air. I know I want the 8 gb ram and the 512 gb ssd model, but what I don't know is if I should get the 7 core or 8 core gcu model?? Does that one core REALLY make a difference? I'd be doing light photo and video editing just for fun and as a photography minor, I'm majoring in marketing though so the workload for my major won't be super heavy on it. Just wanted to ask your opinion!! Thanks!
Pls do a video on M1 Air VS Intel Pro 13 2020: Should you trade in now?
I’ve never used any MacBook. Is its track pad more efficient than the one on Surface Laptop 3? Now Surface laptops have great track pads too with gestures. I’m considering buying one.
Can you get the education price when you buy refurbished products? Or does it only apply to new products?
watching this on my new M1 MacBook Air Santa got me ^^
Share your xperience !!!
@@inspiredscape5611 it‘s really incredible. Currently writing my thesis and this thing has just unlimited power. Everything runs just so well and simultaniously btw
@@user-ww2dn6cz1q tx man🤝
I would like to see you create a video using FCP, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci on both the M1 laptop and the Mac mini!! I believe these results will make or break the M1 in terms of which is the best and most OPTIMIZED for this new technology.
I bought my m1 MacBook air and it was a biggg upgrade from my 2017 air like the software I needed too use runs amazing on my m1
Great stuff, thanks!
Thanks!
When you were talking about the battery life, I thought you were going to say WOW!
Are you going to do an M1 MacBook Air vs. iPad Air 4?
So if all im doing is taking notes, powerpoints, occasional netflix, is it really worth it over the Intel?? Thanks!
I got the M1 without realizing that it can't support 2 external monitors. Might be a big factor for some. Intel Macs have been doing that for years so I was really surprised to find that out.
It can support multiple monitors, you just need to purchase a DisplayLink dock.
I have a Macbook Pro (without touchbar) from 2017, a newer one i5 Macbook Pro with 16Gb RAM 2020 and just got the M1 with “just” 8GB Ram. Really love the performance, battery, coldness (new word?) of the M1!!
I have the Space Grey 2017 MBP (no touchbar), Silver 2020 i5 MBP and Gold 2020 M1 MBA. Love the cold feeling and long battery life. Performance-wise, I don't feel the difference and I have apps that only work on Intel (and Bootcamp games). The 2020 MBP is my main driver. My wife uses the MBA, she doesn't even know what I'm talking about when I talk about Intel vs M1.
I need a new laptop for school. it’s driving me crazy. I keep being told to get the MacBook Pro m1 but... a part of me wants the intel that I can max out in ram and all that fun stuff. Not because I need it but because I just want to.
It sounds like you should just buy a PC laptop. Something like the Dell XPS 15 9500 offers upgradable internals, I believe. I would not buy an Intel MacBook though. The worst of both worlds.
I bought the education store MacBook Air base version recently (in like October) but when I checked the specs in person (now in December) it showed it had an intel processor. I bought the MacBook Air from Apple themself but is it possible I bought the intel by accident?
U got got
I just want to say that you're now one of my fave content creators (together with Casey Neistat, MKBHD, Dan Mace, UrAvgConsumer, Matthew Moniz). Hahaha. You're hilarious man. Continue your thing.
PS: i pre-ordered my macbook air m1 256gb due to your videos. Lmao
For purely clerical work and school typing, what about the under $600 dollar older macbook airs as an option?
TLDR, if you're just using it for browsing, typing, and basic tasks, don't waste your life regretting why you didn't wait for M1 Macs. I agree considering I have both I still use my intel 2020 MBP as my main driver.
I have a 13” 2010 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. Do you think that I should upgrade, or it’ll do for another 10 years? Asking for myself.
Yes! I'm still on my 2010 white unibody MacBook, 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo. For all that I'm super keen on these new MBAs, I also feel like my old Mac is getting cooler and cooler the older it gets... I'll be sad to lose the social currency of having the most retro laptop when I do eventually have to admit defeat and upgrade.
I’ve got the same thing and face the same dilemma. The old ones were completely upgradable and had lots of ports. The new ones are, unfortunately, non-upgradeable appliances that will be tossed in 5 years. Nevertheless, he’s right about the quality of the hardware and software.
Just check to make sure that all the software you need has been ported to Apple Silicon software.
@@kermitspicnic I replaced the battery, installed a 500gb SSD and upgraded to 8gb of ram. It won’t support the latest OS, and it’s not suitable for heavy video editing, but it’s perfectly fine for Day to Day media consumption and office workflow.
I upgraded my mbp 13 intel 2020 for a mba m1
Nice! I love my M1 MBA.
I was hoping to see some benchmarks but was disappointed instead. Otherwise I love your channel.
not even watched but know it will be a good one, "lets find out"
Stock m1 air for 4k editing?
Everyday dad is the best tech TH-camr
Great video! But I really wanna see a Macbook air m1 vs Macbook pro intel 2020
I own both and I'm still using my Intel MBP 2020 as my main driver. Frankly I don't notice the difference in everyday use except for battery life. I can't use the M1 as my main computer due to some compatibility issues with software development apps I'm using and I also own some Windows 10 games which I can play on my Intel Mac. If you own the Intel MBP 2020, don't sweat it, it's a good computer and still plenty fast.
9:23 this is why I use a $200 chromebook as my junker laptop I throw in my bag just for emails and simple web browsing. It gets a ton of use. I have beasts of machines including M1 Pro and Ryzen laptops but I stand by the N4000-6000 processors in a chromebook for students. Acer even makes a fanless 315 model that has no fan and needs no fan. Chrome OS is quietly becoming a giant. It actually utilizes low end hardware exceptionally well.
Its a shame that MS office is so limited on macOS. Now, there's no possibity to boot camp to get fully funcional Excel :(
I'm honestly trying to find the i5/8/256 MBP 13 (since it can boot camp and doesn't overheat as much as intel MBA), but it's unavailable everywhere or too pricey. Any suggestions?
I bet if you looked on the apple refurbished site from time to time you might see one in stock.
@@TheEverydayDad unfortunately, there's no refurbish program here in my country provided by Apple.
hey question should I buy a intel mac mini or a m1 mac mini because I want to have one as a mini pc for my brother just wondering and also super cool vids I love all the vids you make :D
I personally wouldn't buy an intel Mac unless I HAD to have bootcamp.
@@TheEverydayDad ok thanks
5:44 - is he talking about my comment 😏😏
Man... you’re milking the shit out of these M1 MacBook videos
Which one is best for music production???
I am thinking of getting the M1 to save a bit but with the M2 coming out would it be worth paying a bit more for the M2 Air?
Depends, the M1 air hits $800 sometimes and its a good deal at that price.
@@MrWongBurger that’s not a bad deal at all
you could argue that the intel macbook air doesn't have an active cooling system either because the fan's placement is terreble 😅
I've struggled with this question. I have the 2018 MacBook Air that everyone complained about because of it's unusually high price, bad keyboard and having only two thunderbolt ports. I am a teacher and student that was desperately in need of a computer. So far I never had a problem with it, but I am considering upgrading my computer. What should I do?
If you rlly wanna upgrade now, m1 MBA will do you fine
If it does anything you want it to and you are satisfied, there is no need to change. If you need higher computing power or a better display or longer lasting battery power then find out how much it would cost you to change your system. And then you have to decide if you are willing to invest the money. If you never had problems you are probably satisfied with your mashine. If so, why upgrade?
I would recommend the M1 Macbook Air because you can use your computer for a long time thanks to the processor that sips battery life which can benefit during class.
If you don't need to upgrade I wouldn't upgrade. If you are considering the M1 is a fantastic option.
but it is really up to your preference I personally like the M1 Macs.
Is macbook air 8gb ram enough for Computer Science Engineer???
yes you could, but i think is better u get the 16 ram since ur doing a lot of hard work. hope i helped. have a good day.
I found a program/app that heated up my MacBook Air up to pretty hot. It’s called Universe Sandbox. Even IMovie didn’t get that hot.
M1 Macs would be a beast when it starts supporting Bootcamp!
PLEASE DO THE SAME COMPARISON FOR 13 inch MACBOOK PROS
Intel cpus are good for the winter time like you said because my gaming pc that’s intel run and it heats up my room in like 1-2 hours
Whats the link for apple refurbish ?
I love your channel
Thanks!
I can’t wait to get my M1 MacBook Air tomorrow, especially when it’s really good for my programming use 😁
Update?
@@opfer1555 he got awife and kids now
I got a basically brand new i5 air with 512gb about a month ago for like $500. Couldn't be happier. It was basically brand new too. Dude must've been mad because the m1 came out just a little over a month after he bought it.
Edit: also, I can't remember, but the there's something a little wonky going on with the thunderbolt ports on the m1. Could be wrong. And you can still use e-gpu on the intel version... for now. Can't wait for the newer generations of apple silicon.
Mine's air M1 coming day after tomorrow!
9:00 get the M1 I guarantee you even if you don’t need the power now you will inevitably take advantage of it down the road the M1 will last a couple years longer
Great video, and just say no to INTEL🤣. But I believe that the M1 air has the same display as the M1 MacBook Pro 13 minus 100 nits of brightness.
Just bought an M1! Now to wait 3 weeks 😢
you should buy any spec 2018 Mac Mini and compare it against the M1 !!!
Got m1 MacBook Air a month ago best laptop ever
I don’t really need pro so I’m good
just upgraded from my i3 Macbook air to the m1 MacBook Air yesterday. I can't believe they are made by the same company!
Unicorn kisses. 🤣🤣🤣 I will not buy another Intel Mac anything...but I’m not rushing to get rid of the recently purchased stuff I have.
I love MacOS BUT also need Windows. After mucking around M1, Parallels, etc I have settled with Intel MacBook Pro with dedicated graphics card. If you plan to use anything on windows, do yourself a favour and stay away from M1.
As such intel MacBooks are pretty fast for my use - Photoshop, Web, Etc.
The price difference in my region is too much. The Intel i3 version is $200 cheaper than the M1 version with 8 GB RAM & 256 GB SSD. That’s why i got the i3 version as my computer needs are very basic i.e. Watching Anime, Microsoft Office, etc.
Where is the slam gary ? We need the slam💯

Just gotta have a refined workflow and allocate the proper time to it.
Just sold my macbook pro 16 inch basic model for macbook air m1
Yeah I've replaced my 16 with the 13 inch MBP. These M1 are fantastic.
Why? they both go hand in hand lol
4:40 it doesn't have better thermals. its been shown to run hotter consistently when in use compared to the pro. but hey no fans so no noise👌
He meant better compared to the intel i3 MacBook Air. It’s definitely better thermally than that.
Just picked up a pair of new quad core i5 256 GB from Costco for 800 each!
Just a reminder folks....Intel is universal right now (compare to the M1) and some of them have four USB ports.
Gotta love them emojis 😂😂😂👌👌
Let's find out 🔥
Lets!
I think no one should get intel Macs anymore, it would be like buying an iOS devices which can go up to iOS 9 now. basically intel devices will be ditched and Mac OS update will naturally be more heavy and have more features meant for apple chip Macs, while intel Macs will struggle to run those versions
Yeah I agree, its fine right now but the gap is only going to get wider as time goes on and more programs are optimized for ARM.
@@TheEverydayDad When I saw useful apps in the Mac app store and had no access to them because they are only M1 chips and iOS it was painful mainly cuz my MacBook Air is just a year old and I spent a lot of cash buying it
I got a m1 MacBook Pro
If you only need to do clerical stuff, consider a iPad.
We can still run windows on M1 through parallel i.e no advantage of buying an intel🙂
Linux
I'm from the future and my wife has the dual-core i3 early-2020 Macbook Air and it is unbearably slow. Probably going to upgrade to the M1. Can get it with 512gb Renewed from Amazon for $650. Apple will give us $350 for the trade-in of the current laptop. I've looked at the M2 and M3 and I just do not see that the extra power is worth the cost.
Yeah, I'm 37, but I'm cool 😎 keep it up!
@@STICKITINYOUREAR well, I guess I really don't either, but it's fun to play cool with my doughter of nine who thinks I'm a fossil. Jajaj. Currently the air base model cost USD 1.900 here in Chile.... So I think I'll buy the US version and ship it in with a friend.
I have an iPad Pro 12.9 with the magic keyboard, would it be worth it to buy a MacBook Air and sell the iPad?
Well what do u use it for?
@@user-dh5fp4gw1b Mainly School
@@ericchen888 I mean tbh, the small formfactor of the ipad is also pettt amazing. Ofc the m1 is way better but is it actually needed?
@@user-dh5fp4gw1b good point
Спасибо 🙏 супер сравнение
Тьі реально думаеш он читает на русском?
Wow, that old MacBook Air was a ripoff, especially in hindsight. $800 for a dual-core i3? What the hell was that?
Next video: M1 vs iPhone SE
Please do a comparison with the cheapest MB13 Pro vs M1 MB13 Pro
pointless, the M1 outperforms the intel based one in EVERYTHING, I would only buy an intel mbp if it was second hand at $200-300 MAX
It would be a lot like this but with a fan.
@@MF_OXF man！you are brutal！😂
I had an Intel MacBook 12 inch before, for very basic stuff was ok, but battery life; thermals and performance for the price were just sad (in the long run I regret buying it) when I switched to the MBP 2019 I ended up returning it within days as the fans would go nuts, it would overheat even for basic tasks and the battery life was just a joke....about 5-6h... So yeah.... The last Intel MBP that was awesome for me was the 2012 retina MBP
2015 MacBook Air vs M1 MBA. It probably sounds dumb but I really want to see a comparison between the two.
It would be a lot like this one just with older tech inside of it.
I love it
Hmm, replace a flaky ipad with another or....
Sold my 13” 2017 MBP with 256gb for the MBA M1 with 512gb. 👩🏻💻. Your videos are great. 👍🏼 🇨🇦
Another difference: the Intel supports 2 external displays, whereas M1 only supports 1 external display. Not a big deal to most people, but it's a deal breaker for some.
not much ppl are gonna be running a whole desk setup with multiple displays just from a cheap macbook tho
Well I’m still goin with intel
Waiting for the next gen
