Apple gets shitton of indirect advertising when every other company compares their products to Apple, trying to convince their customers that their product is better. Whether it's Samsung or Huawei ads against iPhone, Intel or Microsoft ads against macbook, it's all messaging Apple is the king which every other company compares their products to.
Even after giving unfair advantage to Microsoft laptops (plugged in) they are still getting smoked by MacBook Air. In my opinion comparing laptops by keeping them plugged in literally defeats the purpose of a laptop which is portability. U should do all tests unplugged for laptops because that's how laptops are meant to be.
also battery performance. Don't forget these chips don't use much power at all and get advertised with 20h of use. 14 hours real world use. which you would never get on the other two
yeah these things are insane, I have the upper tier m1 iMac with 16gb ram delivering late July and I'm sure that it will be great and last me for years
@Harsh Patel I’d recommend you to put in a bit extra money and either go for the m1 MacBook pro or Atleast the 8 core CPU and 8 core GPU, 512 gb (minimum) 8 gn ram model. But I’d still go for the MacBook Pro if you are a developer and choose to go for a “notebook” style laptop for developing.
After decades with Windows I bought a MacBook Air and it‘s great. Using it as laptop but also with external monitor (27“, 4K) and a cheap keyboard. It‘s a monster machine and extremely nice. Communicates perfectly with my iPad and iPhone. Good job, Apple!
@@kanha.sh4 then what about mac mini he is using it with external monitor anyways the only thing better in mac air is its portable but since he is using it with external monitor he probably doesn't need portability
Can't stand Finder and the whole file management on MacOs, Windows is by years ahead. I just can't believe cannot take care about such a simple and necessary utility
Anyways you need to keep in mind that the latest 16 inch macbook model runs with an intel processor while the 13 inch pro-model uses the power of the M1 chip. So I think that the CPU-scores of the 13 pro as well as the air-models are better than the CPU-score of the 16-inch pro-model. I am very curious about the new M2-Chips.
Imagine a 16” MBP with 12-16 CPU cores (8-12 of which are P-cores) and 64 GPU cores (yes, 64, as the 8 core GPU in the current M1 Macs is already power sipping and Apple will have no problem scaling up the GPU cores to that level in their 16”, as that one’s cooling capacity is 80W and it has a 100WHr battery). A theoretical 64-core GPU would be about as fast as an RTX 3090 and it would draw 7-8x less power.
@@utubekullanicisi And I was talking about the current ones. Probably I missunderstood him and talked about the latest Pro Model because it is just interesting for me to see the battle between M1 and i9.
Microsoft was always like this. Look at upgrade costs for Surface Pro. In my country for base model of MBA you can get only SP7 with i3 and 128GB SSD so you trade off 50-70% of performance, disk space and good keyboard for wobby keyboard(every tablet keyboard is shit compared to laptop), touch support and microsoft logo. Sounds like excellent deal right? On top of that you can also add that Surface lineup is known from highest failure rate among premium laptops.... Apple Macs are are crazy value now, especially compared to that overpriced shit from Microsoft.
Most government officials use Microsoft & IBM products. Government’s infinite budget = Higher accessory prices. OEMs know Governments & Big Businesses buy everything from the same vendors so it’s a whole other market for them.
@@batboris typical windows answer. "You did not configure it properly". Should I? Can I quit being my own IT Specialist and just work on the machine, not "fix" it constantly? =) That said I had to reboot my M1 Air to make prices visible in safari on our local Amazon clone website. ^_^
I have M1 Macbook Air with 8 GB RAM for couple of weeks. I made lots of video editing with DaVinci Resolve and I can easily say that, I have seen nothing like that performance before.
When they were Intel they were overpriced trash. Now that they aren’t there’s a compelling reason to get one. When they were Intel there was no reason to buy a Mac just to pay the Apple tax. You could get a XPS which is nice as hell in its own ways for 30% less.
@@Tiralful Performance is not everything - pc people are so pragmatic its unreal. Not everyone uses adobe type creation programmes. Most people use word powerpoint and check/write e-mails. When they were intel, the mac was like a “very nice” desk that you work on. Still, I personally am happy that they raised the performance game as well.
I was hoping the 4980 would be good. The 4900hs was last gen best amd mobile chip and everyone praised it to the heavens. Now I’m guessing the m2 and m2x is going to cause some chaos in the realm. Gonna guess m2x will do about 15,000 multi for geekbench.
And still in work segment ... 80% of people are running virtual MSwin on theyr Macs because of Microsoft work infrastructure in almost every bigger company :D
I would be SOOO sick right now if I had not gone with the M1 Air when I did. I saved for 6 months to get a new Intel laptop. When I saw the reviews on the M1, I returned my Intel laptop to Costco and got the Macbook Air M1. Best decision ever.
Yeah. Imagine all the people who got a 2020 MacBook with Intel chips 😭 resale value crashed through the floor. Poor bastards! I know a guy who spent $3,500CAD on a brand new 16-inch i7 MacBook pro with 16GB of ram.. and my $1,099 refurb M1 Air dances CIRCLES around it ALL DAY!! LOL poor bastards
I was a hardcore windows user. but that m1 Macbook air just made me change my mind..what a beast. got one 2 months ago and I've 0 complaints..INCREDIBLE
I had a MacBook Air since 2015 for regular use and taking notes for my classes and never had an issue with it. I just bought my M1 MacBook Pro about 2 months ago and I feel amazing lmao
Just got my MacBook Air M1- just the standard upgrade option- 8 gb ram, 512 gb ssd, 8 core gpu & 8 cpu and I have to say Im pretty disappointed w how bad the camera is. I used it to FaceTime and it’s so blurry. That’s the first comment the person I was FT said too. Other than that love it tho.
@muhammad ehtasam you guys can wait for your imaginary cpu, we can enjoy the best performance now without the laptop sound like its about to take off from my table
@@RishabhAgrawal740 - I hope buying a Mac will be a good ownership experience. Sometimes we just need to switch it around and try something new. I have had Macs for over a decade and I went back to Windows in late 2020, no regrets at all.
Keep in mind, the MacBook is not only unplugged, it’s also *fanless*. What Apple has achieved here thermally to sustain that level of performance is nothing short of remarkable. 💯
no its not what apple achieved, its what arm achieved... arm allows fan less systems and superior quality. literally any arm chip in the market is runing without a fan... apple silicone is 80% made from boroved arm tech.
@mike mcmike say what? im saying that battery and no fan on m1 is thanks to arm not apple... show me arm device with a fan and bad battery life... ita funny to see apple sheeps raging over simple things... even so m1 is not the most powerfull cpu out there... i might be owned by apple sheeps who will say anything to protect they'r precious apple
@mike mcmike Windows is a serious operating system, so it's not so simple just switching to ARM based CPUs which would cause trouble with legacy x86 software.
@@racistpixel1017 First it's silicon. Second Apple is an Architectural Licensee since they were one of the founding companies that made it. They don't have to do anything or pay anyone to modify the chip design. They can do what they want with it. Educate yourself.
@@crazyidiot5309 you told me nothing new, but its good you read wikipedia, yat its a long time while apple dont work with arm, they just modified current arm architecture, 99% done not by apple, and apple not a founder, they joined a competitor and changed a name not to sound like a competitor. they realy did so little for arm, project that was canceled when they had to sell arm shares since of bankruptcy...
Feels nice to had ditch my Intel based MacBook Air early 2020 for my new MacBook Air M1 just one week ago. Battery life has been amazing and performance is so great I can't even describe it.
@@maxpayne7030 funny even without fans its never overheated doing some intense task, unlike my previous hp spectre which will overheat by only open youtube and it has FAN!
At the end they are all in the same performance class (except Video editing). But even for video editing the problem is that the M1 (or now M2) ist just 3 times as expensive (about 2.700 Euro) if you spec it for video editing (16GB, 2TB disk). Just bought a Huawei Laptop with 16GB/2TB and it was about 1000 Euro. I can live with an occasional stutter when I rarely edit a video. And for office work, you do not recognize the difference.
@@theneighborlynumismatist8201 I honestly have 0 regrets buying my Microsoft Surface Pro. At the blowout used price of $120 and still able to run my Native Instruments Komplete 13 and Akai MPC Software it’s a fun little machine. I’m really hoping Logic Pro comes to the new M1 iPadPro’s if so I’ll likely replace my iPadPro rather than grab a Macbook
If you have the budget / time, I'd wait a few months. Loads of news saying Apple have started producing M2 chips for more powerful Macbook Pros / imacs 🤟
The M1 chip is just a no brainer I've been using the M1 air from 3 months for normal media and light photo editing it's been a great experience for a first time Mac user !
apple really made a good decision by switching their chips towards arm. once bootcamp is fully optimised for m1 i wonder what will the results be like D:
@@Tiralful i agree, but in the future, i doubt there would be much consequences or difficulties of going through ARM based software. who knows, window might make it fully compatible?
@@Tiralful Depends on workflow I guess. If that's the best performance that people can get then it could be a good alternative. My animator friends swear against Apple, because nothing that's industry standard runs on Apple.
yeas but you do understand that any arm chip would have pretty much same performance and battery life... its what arm is all about, its not what m1 is cappable but what arm allows m1 to be
@@racistpixel1017 really? what about the upcoming newer versions of arm chips? like the rumoured m1x and m2 or whatsoever, arent there supposed to be more improvements in performance specifically?
One thing to note on both of these as competitors is that Mac is the same price as Surface but one does have touch screen support and pen accessibility and that would be the Surface, but the Mac delivers in more compute power as they should for both of their consumer's.
You don’t take one thing into account. A price drop after time for used devices. M1 is in such demand it is still way over 1.3 ok while surface used is for like half the price
Just got the M1 Macbook Air with 512GB SSD and i'm in love, it's the smoothest laptop i've ever had and for the price, it completely destroys the competition
been windows laptop user for 15 years, and now I just bought an m1 MacBook pro..so happy about the snappy speed i bought another MacBook Air for my wife.. never been a fan of apple products except the iPhone. .but now I'm impressed about the M1 chip performance..
I compared my MacBook Air base model with my Windows PC with Ryzen 5 3600X, 32GB of RAM and a Sapphire RX5700XT Nitro+ in DaVinci Resolve.. same video, same export settings and both with GPU support. The MacBook was twice as fast! Simply incredible. And the MacBook needs only a fraction of the power... my Ryzen (overclocked) alone needs about 100 watts and the MacBook Air has a powerbrick with only 30 watts. This blew my mind, how fast and efficent the MacBook Air is.
Problem with AMD processor is that it is the last gen Zen 2 processor while Intel has the newest 11th gen. Zen 3 improved single threaded performance quite a bit. That said M1 is crazy good regardless
As a Samsung ecosystem lover I have finally come to the conclusion that MBA is the best laptop available. I was between a MacBook and the Samsung pro but for the price the MacBook is a better deal... I am upset that I won't be able to use my s21+ and tab s7 seamlessly with the MBA but some sacrifices must be made 🤷♀️
No. You should just get samsung laptop cause integration is important. Running the tablet as 2nd screen is amazing. Only get air if you are in apple eco. Apple is fast but a compromise for work due to compatibility with formats. Needing to convert format to export to PC from Mac software is quite annoying.
I still have my MacBook Pro since 2013 there is times I have 50 pages open and can’t be bothered to close them and does not slow down 1 bit, battery on sleep mode don’t drain at all I restart it once every 6 months, it never crushed. Only time my fans come on is when I edit videos. Daily use it’s always cool and still lasts 1 to 2 days depending how much you use it but then it’s nearly 9 years old laptop. I’m waiting for it to break or get slow so I can get new MacBook Pro but it’s not happening 😂 but well worth the money in my opinion
@@DarkAngel-vs3om mine too. It's amazing how long these Macs last. They're premium quality- I was recently looking to upgrade and all of the Windows laptops I saw at the store couldn't compare to the Mac in any spec, let alone the outside shell.
@@snam85 my old never broke was in perfect condition so sold if few months for £300 and bought 14” MacBook Pro was craving for upgrade 😂 yea I tried playing on other in shops but they all feel cheap to me and not as responsive as Mac’s. “Once you go Mac you never go back” 😂😂
they didn't even disclosure what processors they used in the windows laptops they could be the lowest specs for making macbook look good because I know for a fact new ryzen laptops get much higher benchmark scores than this
I was having the same issue with my ryzen 2600x with playback. I came across a video by Learn Color Grading on how to improve performance. After a few clicks, my playback and scrubbing was so smooth. I was shocked! Search for The 5 step system for smooth playback. Hope it helps!
I almost bought a surface pro 7 a month ago, but thankfully I found a good deal online selling M1 Macbook air just a little higher price than the surface pro 7. Couldnt be more happier! It’s really very fast and looks so beautiful!
Maybe I missed it, but it would be nice to see a real world performance comparison between the 8 and 16 GB memeory MacBook Airs. If that one more core GPU really helps out in Lightroom and Premiere. Thanks.
@@Tiralful well yeah but i scored well and got into the apex section.. (the gifted section?) not trying to brag or anything cuz it was a HUGE achievement for me.. I’m not that good at studies and i worked hard this time so my dad gifted it to me..

Ofc ik i dont NEED it.. But ig when someones gets something rather than saying stuff like “what do you need it for?😟” they could have said something like its a really great device and i hope you enjoy it? Thats all that i was saying.. Im really sorry if i came off as rude or spoilt because thats FAR from me..

The simple answer is : first of all serious windows people don’t even buy m1 macbook air / pro. Processes, handling of files, apps on mac os are cumbersome for no god damn reason . On top of that any experiment with apps can lead to irreversible memory wastage. No serious software is free on mac os. Please tattoo this on your wrist. Be it parallel via which u wanna run windows or the windows itself. No key generator works here in that case. If windows people still wanna flaunt the apple logo please go for mac with intel and bootcamp it. Oh by windows people I didn’t mean people who do video editing only. I meant some serious work on windows. Like running a tfs server from it, setting up a sql server . You name it. On top of that bootcamp helps to allocate entire RAM on windows os , not like parallel where you need to decide how much RAM to allocate to windows, so with M1 you will end up buying a minimum of 16 gb of RAM version vs minimum of 8gb version of INTEL macs in this regards. What common in tech reviews are like very few youtuber got the guts to speak truth rather than nurturing the fake apple impression. It’s unfortunate but a fact. Peace 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I switched from my maxed out XPS to a base MBA and I’m way happier. Probably similar to you I’m 38 and have used Windows my entire life and I’ve never really had anything Apple. I always figured why bother it’s the same Intel chips you’re just paying more. This new M1 is absolutely absurd though. I’m also running Parallells Windows VM on it and it’s awesome.
It would be really interesting to see if you see the same kind of drop (plugged / unplugged) on the AMD surface in Linux. I bet that is a software setting to encourage better battery life, so if that setting isn't applied the performance may come back.
When you look at geek bench scores “single core” results, are actually single thread results, the m1 chip being ARM only has one thread per core so the tread has the full power of the core, while x86 processors use multi threading so the AMD and intel cores can’t use the full power of their cores, because there are two threads per core
No that's not how it works, dual thread cores are so called hyper threaded cores and tries to exploit the fact that single threaded cores are more difficult to keep busy as you have unavoidable dependencies in software which means cpus tend to spend time waiting for the result of a calculation before they can keep executing, a cheap solution to regain some of this lost performance is to add a second hardware thread as it costs very little hardware wise- so when one thread stalls it schedules the other instead and that way can keep the core more utilitised, you can disable hyper threading in the BIOS though if you only want "single thread per core" performance. But regardless M1 is way faster and what people don't realize is that M1 is Apples entry level processor; they're going to leap frog ahead once they introduce their actual pro processors.
I worked at a company which used Surfaces. The Surface was really nice. But with the strong cpu, docking station, foldable keyboard (I think the same like in your video) ... it came in at around 3500 bucks! And I thought Apple was expansive. However honestly it is kind of lacking comparing a _tablet_ to a MacBook - I'm ready for the iPad Pro VS Surface comparison though.
2:04 wow we have reached the time where 300MBS is considered "extremely slow" I remember when I was 12 bought by very first USB flash drive 128MB and yes MB no GB for a swift $70. And while transferring files being in absolute shock the blazing speed of 756KBS. Oh how times have changed.
Heheh. Yeah, i just updated my old PC (Hackintosh), it had a mechanical hard drives (120MB/s) and a 2.5" inch SSD (400MB/s). The motherboard was from year 2012 ...just got my self a M1 Air (16/512), and this thing pulls almost 3000MB/S 🤣
the x86 world will not be affected unless a competitor makes/releases an arm based chip as powerful as the m1 for windows machines. because apple making m1 computers isn't gonna get windows devs to switch to arm. for that there needs to be a windows 'm1'. its all about the devs and existing programs/apps. if there is no incentive to switch then there'll be no switch.
no, when m2 will come out, X86 world will offer similar performance to m2 with advancements... it will also offer dedicated gpu, better io, more ram and more ssd and other thing better..
@@SHRModding with MX as a new architecture you have to recompile apps to optimize for it, many tools/apps will start to support Macs anyway because it will become the dominant leader in performance. So the 'does it support windows' argument will become less and less important.
@@alexmeek610 if you did not notice amd cpus run pretty close to m1 performance and even with zephyrus 14, while unplugged keeps same performance... x86 gets faster every year... so who cares what they gonna do... it will get faster... for m1, its scaled iphone cpu, just look yearly iphone cpu performance i crease amd you will be able to predict m2 performance... probably little bit faster this year since arm will drop v9 architecture to them to brag and market it as apple silicone
I don’t think you mentioned the generation AMD chip being used. I found that they are using the last Gen version because of the Chip shortage they weren’t able to give Microsoft the 5th Gen version
Yes it's a higher clocked zen2 4800U called 4980U. There are some results for the zen3 5800u on notebookcheck. It's around 20% faster single core, but same speed in multicore and graphics due to power limits. His test results are kinda strange or they messed up the power plan on that surface laptop. The device shouldn't lose performance in single core applications when it's not plugged in. The poor graphic performance on battery is also a power plan failure.
Well, it’s not quite that AMD didn’t give Microsoft Zen3 chips “because of the chip shortage”, but Microsoft used Zen2 mainly because of development timing.
@@dvabsarma but they are literally comparing a last gen cpu to the newest apple one, how is this fair especially given the performance increase of the new zen 3 architecture ?
Just a suggestion, for graphics performance. Instead of relying on synthetic benchmarks, try running a 3d game or two while recording average fps. Would be nice to see a real world comparison
Lets compare the speakers. Naturally we feature a song that is full of distorted synth sounds, so it's impossible to detect the distortion imparted by the devices under test.
That's not entirely true because the surface laptop has a way better camera and has great battery life and more ports. But the m1 air is cheaper, faster and has better speakers.
Except you can write on a surface, which unfortunately is more important in an education setting. Here’s hoping the iPad Pro will run normal macOS otherwise it’s wasted power.
I know and we made it popular lol. I like that it has a quieter less bass part and then louder with a mix of frequencies and vocals as well. Some laptops are loud at the start but have to cut down the volume once the bass hits so it was great for testing but a lot of people complain about it.
@@MaxTechOfficial I guess one option to keep the song would be setting each device to the same volume level and separately noting max volume level. Haha The same song is nice bc it allows us to compare across the spectrum. Same reason I tune my stereo on the same (not this) song whenever I move.
Your content is really solid man. Excellent presentation and real world comparisons without much bias. I’m completely sold on the MacBook Air at this point. I just wish that Apple would integrate a removable touch screen, although I realize that from a marketing and sales standpoint, that wouldn’t make much sense for them. Cheers.
The surface laptop speakers sounded so promising at first but they clearly sacrificed the high ends and a little bit of mids I think overall the mac had a cleaner sound stage
@@TheRutubeify Better architecture. x86 is old and should've died before year 2000. x86 doesn't stand a chance against any other architecture. The reason why it still exists is software support. x86 ist 43 years old - therefore there are many software libraries written for x86. Microsoft still doesn't have a good ARM support for their software. If Windows wasn't the most popular OS (Desktop) ARM would've taken over years ago.
@@Tonyhack123 Yeah but it just gives off the false impression that Intel chips are better atm. Also I think that the new AMD chips perform better than M1 iirc

At this point, I expect the new 16 inch macbook pro to be able to break the space-time continuum
Anyways you need to keep in mind that the latest 16 inch macbook model runs with an intel processor while the 13 inch pro-model uses the power of the M1 chip. So I think that the CPU-scores of the 13 pro as well as the air-models are better than the CPU-score of the 16-inch pro-model. I am very curious about the new M2-Chips.
@@thephantomengine8179 He’s talking about the next gen M1X 16” Macbook Pro, not the current model. Was it that hard to understand?
Imagine a 16” MBP with 12-16 CPU cores (8-12 of which are P-cores) and 64 GPU cores (yes, 64, as the 8 core GPU in the current M1 Macs is already power sipping and Apple will have no problem scaling up the GPU cores to that level in their 16”, as that one’s cooling capacity is 80W and it has a 100WHr battery). A theoretical 64-core GPU would be about as fast as an RTX 3090 and it would draw 7-8x less power.

Microsoft was always like this. Look at upgrade costs for Surface Pro.

The simple answer is : first of all serious windows people don’t even buy m1 macbook air / pro. Processes, handling of files, apps on mac os are cumbersome for no god damn reason . On top of that any experiment with apps can lead to irreversible memory wastage. No serious software is free on mac os. Please tattoo this on your wrist. Be it parallel via which u wanna run windows or the windows itself. No key generator works here in that case. If windows people still wanna flaunt the apple logo please go for mac with intel and bootcamp it. Oh by windows people I didn’t mean people who do video editing only. I meant some serious work on windows. Like running a tfs server from it, setting up a sql server . You name it. On top of that bootcamp helps to allocate entire RAM on windows os , not like parallel where you need to decide how much RAM to allocate to windows, so with M1 you will end up buying a minimum of 16 gb of RAM version vs minimum of 8gb version of INTEL macs in this regards.

Great Video Guys! Does the M1 get a performance boost when plugged in though?
It would be really interesting to see if you see the same kind of drop (plugged / unplugged) on the AMD surface in Linux. I bet that is a software setting to encourage better battery life, so if that setting isn't applied the performance may come back.
That's always what happens.
When you look at geek bench scores “single core” results, are actually single thread results, the m1 chip being ARM only has one thread per core so the tread has the full power of the core, while x86 processors use multi threading so the AMD and intel cores can’t use the full power of their cores, because there are two threads per core
Ok? It’s a single threaded benchmark, who cares if it isn’t fully using a core. Arm is a more efficient architecture
Who cares. M1 is faster
No that's not how it works, dual thread cores are so called hyper threaded cores and tries to exploit the fact that single threaded cores are more difficult to keep busy as you have unavoidable dependencies in software which means cpus tend to spend time waiting for the result of a calculation before they can keep executing, a cheap solution to regain some of this lost performance is to add a second hardware thread as it costs very little hardware wise- so when one thread stalls it schedules the other instead and that way can keep the core more utilitised, you can disable hyper threading in the BIOS though if you only want "single thread per core" performance.
But regardless M1 is way faster and what people don't realize is that M1 is Apples entry level processor; they're going to leap frog ahead once they introduce their actual pro processors.
That’s not how hyperthreading works.

the x86 world will not be affected unless a competitor makes/releases an arm based chip as powerful as the m1 for windows machines. because apple making m1 computers isn't gonna get windows devs to switch to arm. for that there needs to be a windows 'm1'. its all about the devs and existing programs/apps. if there is no incentive to switch then there'll be no switch.

The device shouldn't lose performance in single core applications when it's not plugged in. The poor graphic performance on battery is also a power plan failure.
Well, it’s not quite that AMD didn’t give Microsoft Zen3 chips “because of the chip shortage”, but Microsoft used Zen2 mainly because of development timing.
@@Psi-Storm Test is rigged to make windows laptop look bad
@@cin2110 nah, ure just being insecure becoz m1 mac beat ur jetplane sound making windows machine's ass🤣
@@dvabsarma but they are literally comparing a last gen cpu to the newest apple one, how is this fair especially given the performance increase of the new zen 3 architecture ?
M1 nailed it 🔥
Tim is cooked
@@leooo770 😂
Great comparison Max, just wanted to know that is buying iphones or Macs as reliable and trustworthy as compared to an actual physical store?
That was great comparison 🔥🔥🔥
Just a suggestion, for graphics performance. Instead of relying on synthetic benchmarks, try running a 3d game or two while recording average fps. Would be nice to see a real world comparison
I am glad that I got M1 air last week 😁
Is it makes sense to compare CPU when you testing macbook on safari and other devices in other browser?
Lets compare the speakers. Naturally we feature a song that is full of distorted synth sounds, so it's impossible to detect the distortion imparted by the devices under test.
Guys, guys, sidenote: Thats an AIR! not even a Pro.
Air only 7 GPU……..still very fast!

I can’t wait to snag that M1 IPad Pro!!!
Same bro, mines coming in soon, so hyped
wait now that next lineup is announced ryt
What would be impressive is try using the same browser on all 3 systems for consistency. Safari vs chrome vs chrome is inconsistent.
as we all know benchmarks are no good in real life situations.... this guy wont get it
the way the macbook air slaughtered the surface in every aspect 😭
That's not entirely true because the surface laptop has a way better camera and has great battery life and more ports. But the m1 air is cheaper, faster and has better speakers.
Except you can write on a surface, which unfortunately is more important in an education setting. Here’s hoping the iPad Pro will run normal macOS otherwise it’s wasted power.
@@DJFrostHeave true
@@DJFrostHeave most likely no. Apple has a good track record of making sure their products don't cannibalize each other.

Dave made a battery life comparison. M1 is better in battery aspect too.
Say it ain’t so! You guys gotta keep the same music test track. It’s associated with your brand now 😂😂😂
I know and we made it popular lol. I like that it has a quieter less bass part and then louder with a mix of frequencies and vocals as well. Some laptops are loud at the start but have to cut down the volume once the bass hits so it was great for testing but a lot of people complain about it.
@@MaxTechOfficial I guess one option to keep the song would be setting each device to the same volume level and separately noting max volume level. Haha The same song is nice bc it allows us to compare across the spectrum. Same reason I tune my stereo on the same (not this) song whenever I move.
+1,
Keep it, we are boring to hear new and unmemorable songs in comparison. Make it standard .
@@MaxTechOfficial ok
FINALLY! After watching Dave's review I was waiting so eagerly for you guys to do a detailed comparison. Thank you so much!
Same
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@iamhooman7522 I had very good idea about trackpad and keyboard. Was waiting for performance review and battery life.
Your content is really solid man. Excellent presentation and real world comparisons without much bias. I’m completely sold on the MacBook Air at this point. I just wish that Apple would integrate a removable touch screen, although I realize that from a marketing and sales standpoint, that wouldn’t make much sense for them. Cheers.
For those who don't know, he is testing Macbook Air with no fan.
The MacBook Pro is much better with fan inside. So you can imagine.
God, the guy in the background who yelled ‘dude it’s a joke!’ Made me lmfao
Which minute?

Lol Apple Machine is like a Michael Jordan vs kids
He was trying his best to show MacBook worse than the others, but still Mac is a worthy king!
Just FYI, I haven’t been a student for years. And I get the Apple education discount. Literally anyone can. Hop on that you get huge money off!
Just select education store and buy it off there.
Yes! Exactly!
Type in Apple then education! It will automatically be in the browser!
You can get it even cheaper on apple's refurbished website!
@Abijith Nair no they do not, bought mine back in October 2020 and I didn’t need to provide proof. It was a quick easy transaction
The surface laptop speakers sounded so promising at first but they clearly sacrificed the high ends and a little bit of mids I think overall the mac had a cleaner sound stage
How it's possible?? How Apple arm mobile chip can beat intel regular... i have no clue. this is insane!
MacBook doesn't support games
@@Drannn54 Yes it will, also game that running on the Ipad currently have Console Quality - rich enough detail - high res and 144fps
@@Drannn54 I think you're wrong, m1 can easily run latest Tomb Raider
@@Drannn54 its official. The only demographic left for windows are people gaming in their mom’s basements.
@@TheRutubeify Better architecture. x86 is old and should've died before year 2000. x86 doesn't stand a chance against any other architecture. The reason why it still exists is software support. x86 ist 43 years old - therefore there are many software libraries written for x86.
Microsoft still doesn't have a good ARM support for their software. If Windows wasn't the most popular OS (Desktop) ARM would've taken over years ago.
I was watching this vid on my phone last week and now on my MacBook Air, this note book is too good to be real
Is this supposed to be a subtle hint at great storytelling?
Keep us posted
I bought Macbook Air M1, one reason is because of you, and I not regret it :D
@@phillipgoat00 Undervolt the CPU, it makes a huge difference
@@phillipgoat00 I actually prefer Asus when talking about thermals.
you should mention the spec at start...the amd is last years chip 4000 while intel is the newest....11gen
Yes, you're right, he could have. But that won't change the conclusion since you can only get the 4,000 series chip if you buy the AMD version
@@Tonyhack123 well yes it won't change the conclusion. but i don't think that's a reason for not mention it anyway lol
@@Tonyhack123 Yeah but it just gives off the false impression that Intel chips are better atm. Also I think that the new AMD chips perform better than M1 iirc
Wow, well done M1. Well done.
