If I only do some email, basic work, and watching TH-cam, Netflix on spare time. Do you think I should go for cheaper M1 air with upgrade RAM, not sure it last me a long time before upgrade to new MacBook though.
@@gangan9751 I'd say you could even go with base m1 Mac for that. It's plenty for me. And I do the only things you just mentioned.
I can't buy any tech stuff in my country because its very expensive but I always watching your video thanks 😂❤️💎
Can you compare the 2022 iPad and keyboard case to an Air and a IPad Pro? All 11 inch as the 12.9 is too heavy to carry with a keyboard case.
Hey man, it's completely unrelated to this particular video, but I'm planning to buy an 11 inch iPad Pro. Will you be going to update your battery drain test with the new M2 iPad Pro? I would be curious to see the difference between the 3rd and 4th gen, especially since I'm worried the new Apple Pencil Hover feature could drain battery. Thanks!!
Im happy with my m1 MacBook Air and it has been amazing, 256 is enough for me as I store most of my larger files on my 1tb ssd, I took it for a 3 day vacation and I did not have to charge it even once even with photo edits, exports and imports and watching movies👍
Finally an honest discussion!!! I'm starting uni in September to study photography and honestly it can be overwhelming knowing whether to go for the best of the best or to go reasonable - I think future proofing is important but ultimately everyone has a budget!
are you going London Met?
You do not need anything close to a top of the line computer. You barely even need an M1 Air. do you think that professional photographers used to just labor and suffer all day with useless computers until the newest MacBooks came out?
Future proofing is bullshit don’t do it it’s not gonna help you at all and you’re just gonna end up wasting money for a machine that you don’t need that is probably gonna be replaced in 5 to 7 years at the most anyway if you do actually use it for anything more than just editing photos
If you’re really that concerned about “future proofing”, get a 16” M1 Pro in case configuration
Discovered your channel the other day. Your advice guided me on my purchase of my first brand new MacBook to replace my 2011 MacBook Pro.
I like that you mentioned how users obsess over one product or feature. This is how I have felt ever time I hear about the SSD on the M2 Macbook air. I decided to buy this one as I will be keeping it for years, it's replacing my 2015 Macbook Pro. I've never noticed the difference in disk speeds. I also never save anything locally (except apps) most of my files are on iCloud or OneDrive. But I've definitely noticed the improved design, sleeker screen, and more convenient charging. A few of my friends have the M1 Air and I personally see it as a step back. Although it is still a great computer.
TGT...this has to be one of the most comprehensive videos to assist future Mac buyers to determine what's best for them. Well done!
So glad it was helpful, Rob. Thank you for the feedback and for being part of the channel 🙏🏻
This is a very good video. This guy knows his stuff, and most of the time is spot on. Best 👍✌😊
Excellent video. You've affirmed my buying choice. Thank you.
I see a lot of recommendations to avoid the 8GB version. I've been using an 8GB air since they came out with zero issues. The performance is always snappy. This laptop gets used for browsing, netflix, light gaming, and light audio production. If you are on a budget, and don't use any applications that are memory intensive, don't be afraid of the 8GB M1/M2 Air.
I agree that for now, 8GB can work. My concern would be long term - where the m1 would still be plenty good an the ram may become insufficient.
@@TechGearTalk When Apple drops the M1 Air as a target for the newest OS, the 8, 16, and 24GB models will all be dropped indiscriminately. If the money isn't an issue, and you want to future proof as much as possible, by all means get the 16+GB model. We've reached a point of tech maturity where software isn't requiring the dramatic increases in memory that is used to. There was a youtuber that tested (using a VM) the minimum memory that Monterey required to boot, and it was well under 1GB. With 2GB, it was pretty usable. Ironically, it's my 16" i9 32GB Macbook Pro that I bought in 2019 that's fallen into disuse. It was intended to be my powerhouse laptop, but overheats and throttles almost immediately if I'm running a Window VM and using a 4k monitor at the same time. That was supposed to be my long-term mac but buying all that CPU and memory was a waste. It's been replaced by a work-supplied 14" M1 Pro
Which games do you play? I am thinking about buying m2 macbook air which is gonna be my first macbook and I can’t decide between m2 pro and m2 air. Can I play games like heartstone or tft in macbook air does it overheat?
@@cloggaming2254 There is no shortage of evidence on the internet that PLENTY of people (including me) have heat/throttlling issues with the 16". They did nothing to improve the thermal issues when they upgraded the 15" to 16"
Well , I do have a MB air m1 8gb , sometimes using too many Internet tabs it gets pretty slow. I do not use any kind of heavy programs, only internet browsing, pdfs, telegram, stuff like that, and yes , if you have too many things opened it will lag. Fun fact is that I have a feeling that my old Asus i5 16gb could handle more tabs opened and that it was a little bit faster handling that
Very good and smart who speak just really right and honest things. Good
Very helpful video . Thank you
Thanks for the video and recommendations
I picked up an awesome deal on a m1 air with 16gb ram and 1TB drive for $1154, already have the m1 mini, but that deal was too good to pass on, love it. Thanks for the great advice
Whered you find this
very helpful good video - thank you!

Excellent review!
Just upgraded from the iPad 8th gen to the iPad Pro 11 inch 3 rd gen. It’s a massive improvement. Never owned a laptop of any make. Need it to run DAWs to record and arrange hardware synths and bass guitar. Also a little bit of gaming , but it’s mainly for electronic music production. I have around £1800 and I’m really cautious of ordering the wrong one. Going for the 512gb and definitely going into a shop to have a look and feel of them. Think I might sell the iPad Pro on. Thanks for your advice and video. Just wish I knew which one to definitely get. I’m disabled so can’t work or get out much. It’s going to be used all day . I’m so impressed with the IPads . Used PCs a little but not a computer person.
Excellent advice. I reviewed my actual use case and ended up getting a refurbished 16/256 Mac mini to work with my studio nano display and an older Dell 27 in 4K. This is because I have a 2 TB iCloud account that I share with my family and mostly work in my study.
I supplement this with my early 2015 MBP which is still superb for day to day use.
My work then bought me a 16/512 MBP M1 which I keep there now so saves my backpack weight.
Old good stuff still works well. Of course, the 2015 MBP will not take the next MacOS but it will still work with Windows via parallels and bootcamp. I also upgraded the SSD to 1 TB for about $130. It was probably the best ever MBP on build quality and ports etc. I didn’t have any screen delaminating issues as I think that was just a bad batch.
My daughter still eyes it up for the ‘when you don’t need it dad can I have it’ time.
This was really informative thanks! Ive actually been really conflicted in getting a refurbished 2020 macbook pro vs getting the new m1 macbook air for music production. With 16gb of memory they both cost about the same. Any suggestions? I spoke to someone at the store but tbh they werent very confident in advising me. Thanks!
Regarding storage: USB drives and USB thumb drives are always an option. If there's a slot for an SD card then an SD card is another option.
I just got the 14 and love it. I use mine mainly for photos/ browsing, so putting things on a drive isn’t a big deal for me
Great info! I have been known to get a new MacBook when it reaches the point of being incapable taking of MACOS upgrades. I’m getting close and I am starting to question if I would be better with a desktop! Truth is my ipad handles most of my on the go needs anymore. And I don’t really go that much either. Seems like I can get more/as much from a Mac mini.
Glad you enjoyed it. If your iPad takes care of your on-the-go needs - the Mini is an awesome value!
Back in 2013 I bought a Macbook Pro 15 and overpaid by "specing" it out. It has a 2K display, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD, and a dedicated GPU. Almost 10 years later the thing is till relevant for today. It runs the latest Mac OS, boots up in seconds, and is very responsive. 10 years is a long time so I did end up replacing my battery myself twice, but it runs smooth and I just don't need to upgrade as I have a desktop gaming PC for power use and my MacBook Pro for web browsing and watching videos.
I bought the MBA M1 a year and a half ago, and it works great! The one issue I have, is the fact that it only has the two USB-C ports. I have a hub to give me more ports, because I’m getting my first external display. However, I do wish I didn’t have to have the hub.
I bought the MBA because I’m a beginning content creator. But, I made the mistake of going high on storage (1TB) and low on RAM (8GB). I’m going to continue to use the MBA because it works great for my needs right now, but I can tell eventually I’m going to outgrow it.
That's why I went with the M1 Pro 14-inch. Slightly larger display, more ports, and base model comes with 16GB RAM
Good points! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Thank you for this helpful video!
I'm super glad it was helpful!
One mistake a lot of people ignore. Buying a new computer when your old one works fine. I have a 2012 Macbook Pro with a 1TB SSD and 16 GB ram. It still works fine. I couple of years ago I replaced the keyboard and battery foraround $150. I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with a 2TB SSD. And I have a super cheap PC. I don't really need the high powered stuff for making high tech videos. I make videos with powerpoint slides, which don't require a lot of computing power. Yes, my old computers one day will fail, but in the meantime, they work fine enough for my needs. Yes, you don't get upgrades after a while, but again, the old versions work fine for me.
Is it wise to only buy my new mac from Apple or is Costco a good choice as well? Also, while I do not do any video editing I do download art videos and watch those often for a few hours or longer at a time. Would the MacBook pro be the better choice given it has a fan for cooling with these long videos? I currently have a 2014 MacBook pro that has sufficed just fine. I can no longer do updates on it but it is still working but I obviously will need to upgrade in the near future. Should I decide to get the MacBook pro, does it pay to wait until 2023 for the newest one to come out? I'm concerned if I get the MacBook air, it will not handle the long videos that I watch for art classes but maybe it would be fine. Any advice is welcome and thank you for the videos!
After reviewing the video and the comments then it's more than enough to make your mind which a specific MAC for you
very useful tips thank you.
Glad it was helpful, Theresa!
I'm looking for a laptop for my youtube videos with FCPX (etc) so this video is excellent and very helpful - thanks :)
So glad it was helpful!
For a simple task like browsing a web and a normal user like me who don’t open 92 apps at one time..
8gb is enough.
I’m a new sub.
You have amazing content.
Cheers!
that is truth thanks you for your advice and making this video content
😄
Glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Always buy according to your needs and budget, and as you always say (buy nice , don't buy twice)
Thank you for the input!
Always like your reviews! 👍
I appreciate you!
Hey @TGT, love the videos! Curious for the brand of long sleeve shirts you wear, they always look great! Thanks and keeping putting out videos!
Thank you for the kind words. The brand is called Rhone and these are the Reign Long Sleeve. They are awesome!!! Hope that helps.
Thanks for this video very helpful
So glad I could help. Thank you for being part of the channel!
I'm using the MacBook Air m1 for about almost 2 months and it works great. I got the base model and I have zero issues. I can get a full day with the battery so the is great in my opinion.
good video. Thank you for your work
So glad it was helpful
what do you think of a 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch ? student perspective. I don't travel a lot. i have an older iMac and an older MacBook Pro. 2012 n 2015. time to upgrade maybe.
Great Job. I need an apple laptop for my cyber security program. Which one do you advise. Thank you.
This is very helpful. Tq
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing this practical advices. My checklist was almost the same and very well summarized. Do you have any advice for hubs? I am still struggling with it.
BTW, wanna say thanks to you for practical advices. It helped me in purchasing Macbook Air M2 with 16GB & 256GB configurations. Thank you hug from Germany 😂
Glad it has been helpful! Congrats on the new MacBook!
This has been really helpful. I've been vacillating between the M2 MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro 14. The base M2 Air is perfect for my travel needs (I have plenty of power and storage in my desktop Mac). But that Pro is so tempting, especially when it's on sale and is close to the cost of a spec'd up M2 Air. However, I wouldn't be taking advantage of the Pro's power, additional ports, beautiful screen, or other features often enough to justify it. My solution (subject to change without notice): a refurbished M1 MacBook Air.
good choice.
I love seeing your process! Thank you for sharing!
Yuym😂I😂
Wow...thanks
Such a great video!!! Thanks alot this is all needed
Glad it was helpful!
What would you recommend for someone who just wants a laptop that will last a long time? I'm typing this on a circa-2012 or 2013 Macbook Pro because my 2018 Macbook Air died. It leaves me wondering...are pros built better? Or was 2012/2013 a better era for manufacturing quality? Or is it just dumb luck? (I also realized my Macbook Air barely had enough storage to handle its own OS + required updates by the end, so it seems like a very finite lifespan unless you buy a model with upgraded storage.)
I've been out of the graphic design game for quite some time. I've been teaching English abroad in Italy for the last 8 years but now feel like picking graphic design back up. I'm a bit out of touch and will have to do a bit of catch up and upskilling.. I'll be using a lot of illustrator, indesign, photoshop etc. Would a M2 Macbook air be up to the task? Open to recommendations 👍
Hey man. Which one do you suggest: Macbook pro 13 m1 or macbook air m1 or macbook air m2. It's really an enigma for me that which one is good. (i'm a programmer and I use my mac for programming).
I just got a brand new MacBook Pro base model M1 16 for a mind blowing 700 off the retail price at Best Buy. I had the base 16 M2 and took it back. I love the 16 and I travel with it all the time.
I've been thinking of getting the 14-in pro base model. Been planning to transition to a WFH setup and go freelance. I think for the anticipated workload, it should be more than sufficient.
It's a wonderful - and extremely capable machine.
I’d go with the new MBP 16 despite the extra weight. If you were working on client sites or with other people the larger screen gives much greater productivity. I kept my MBP16 i9 for that reason and the fact I can still use bootcamp for pro applications in Windows like MS Project and Visio professional. I was tempted by the new MBP16 but I only got my i9 in 2020 and it’s still got 7 months guarantee left from the seller.
For WFH get an M1 Mac mini 16/256 refurbished and then a high quality 4 or 5k 27 in screen. Your eyes and back will both thank you downstream.
@@andrewcrossley2448 this would be perfect, however we have blackouts where I'm from and I need a 'workstation' I can up and go. Also, I prefer switching up my environment once in a while. But yeah, good points! I can prolly get a dock to use the macbook as a desk setup, like some TH-camrs Ive seen.
I am thinking about it too (14 Pro). One reason is that it has an SD-card slot that I do not need. So I can put an SD-card there and use as extra storage for files, when 512GB is not enough for me in a few years.
There are special SD-cards manufactured for the purpose - fitting exactly in a MacBook Pro.
I currently type this on a 2014 MacBook Air with just 128GB SSD, but I use a 256GB (minimal size) USB-key next to the MagSafe to effectively have room for all files I need.
@@gunnarthorburn1219 where can I buy those? What are the read/write speeds?
I’m glad you’re making these Videos. I recently bought a 16” M1Pro with 32Gig Ram. I’m a Developer/Student and initially thought of buying the Base 16” M1Pro. I can’t say how happy I am when I bought my Computer with 1TB SSD and 32Gig RAM since you can’t upgrade any of those. Also I travel everyday but still prefer the 16 Inch because of the Screen Real estate. Edit- Could you please make a video on some Note Taking Tricks and tips on the new iPad Air/Pro. Cheers!
Wow that’s a very expensive tool to take into college but if it works, great.
Note taking - if you need to share notes and use on multiple platforms OneNote is excellent. If you are sticking to an Apple ecosystem then Apple Notes is brilliant and has lots of great features that are not obvious. I use both. OneNote for my work as a university lecturer but Apple for everything else. I love the ability to make notes on my iPad, iPhone and Mac and instantly be able to see them on all my devices via my iCloud account. I also share these with my family members where relevant.
I made the mistake of getting the 14 inch m1 macbook pro. I thought the size will be perfect as i have used 14 inch laptops before without any problems. But now i m having neck and eye problems due to long hours of work and study. I would suggest everyone, if you don't travel with your laptop get a 16 inch as the size is really helpful. Now i m planning to get a monitor to solve this issue.
I attach my M1 Air to an external monitor when I use it at my home desk. Really helps with the neck strain. I had an older 1080p 23 inch kicking around and it has been perfect :-)
Hi there, im looking at getting in to coding xcode and running virtualization software. I am going to get the 14' Macbook Pro M1 do you think the 8core CPU and 14core GPU is sufficient or am i better of going with 10core CPU and 14core or 16core GPU? Or will this thermal throttle with that configuration and will my battery greatly suffer, will the fans be too noisy? I will be getting 32GB Ram and 1TB SSD. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Great video by the way 🙂
I got a M1 MacBook Air with 16GB of Ram and 256GB of storage. I rarely store files on my Mac so I take advantage of cloud services. Thought about upgrading to a MacBook Pro but I don’t think I would need it now. The Air will last me for years.
macbooks pro 14” for my youtube travel videos. is it good option or suggest
Great explanatory video. Thanks.
Is MBP 16' good enough for someone who is a teacher and makes video calls through Zoom, edits and exports ( but not heavily). I'm intended to work on programming and coding.
If you want a bigger screen real estate then go for the MBP 16 base. It can easily handle your workflow, saying in from my own perspective because I own a week old. MBP 14 10c and 16c and it's so fasttt.
I do landscape photography and editing photos in Adobe light room and Adobe Photoshop. Now I want a good laptop for this purpose. Should I go for M2 MacBook Air. Please suggest me if there are better options for that.
HI TGT......I have a question....
At the moment I’m looking to replace my 2013 MCBpro 15”. I am completely naive regarding M1 chips, etc. What my needs are: I’m just breaking into voice acting so I need to record and run Adobe Audition, or any good DAW, I also need to do picture & video editing; but nothing crazy. I make shorts with my kids for fun, etc. But we’re considering moving into longer pieces, longer films. And I’ll also be using the same machine for podcasting/streaming etc. And of course be doing day to day workflow/life stuff. How much power do I need? I went way overboard in 2013 but I’ve had a machine that’s been great for almost 10 years. I would rather err on the side of caution and have too much “power”, than to regret later. But I also don’t want to go crazy, overspend on what I will never need when I can spend that $$ on other equipment. Thank you for any advice you can give me!
Do you use proctective hardshell case on your macbooks?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being part of the channel!
LOVE THE WALLPAPER, PLEASE WHERE CAN FIND IT?
Hi there, I'm a new subscriber and your video are amazing but can you make video for the laptop under $500 please
Nice
good video , thxxxx
Thank you for watching and for the kind words!
I will have enough money this Friday to get my first MacBook. I’m getting the M1Air with 512GB SSD and 8GB unified memory. I’m just using it for office stuff as well as personal finance.
Are the Intel chipped mac's upgradeable in terms of RAM?
This really helped a lot, so my situation is that I'm a Medical Student and Produce Music so for me Traveling and Portability is a must, I need a device that's efficient enough for me to last 5-6 years and also has that much power which can handle music production softwares, so I'm kinda stuck between the M1 MacBook Pro 13 Inch and M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14 inch so I need help in that also my budget is enough for MBP M1 13, But I'm afraid since it came in 2020 in a few years it will slow down, please guide me regarding this
He’s made a video comparing the 13” MBP to the 14”, I hope you can find it.
Buy something for yourself and buy it because you want it. Too many situations where people hold back on fancy stuff because they don't "need" it. These machines are getting ridiculously efficient and 99% of people won't NEED one. If you want a top of the line device to watch TH-cam on and type up documents, THAT'S OKAY. Don't hold back on something you initially wanted because someone else told you that you didn't need it.
Also, don't get yourself into the mindset that BECAUSE you buy a top of the line device, all of the sudden, you WILL use it to its fullest capabilities. Buy something because that's what YOU want. It doesn't matter if you don't use it at 100% - most people are in the same boat. Wanting something and buying it because you want it is OKAY.
On a side note, Apple's storage and RAM pricing is disgusting. Get yourself an external drive for a fraction of the cost. As for RAM, I guess you're screwed.
Thank you for sharing!
exactly. I am so fucking sick of people who don't understand technology asking me "why do you need more storage? why do you need more ram?" There are so many people who just don't get it. The reason the prices are the way they are is because the people who run Apple art communist scum of the earth.
I want to buy Macbook to edit video for youtube only. I intend to make some travel vlog for our kids. Can you suggest what kinds Macbook is good for me?storage?memory… thank you
You are gem of a person, i was looking for a laptop for my university needs and started from 12th intel to macbook 14(M1) and after watching your video i have realised that i should pick macbook air m1, which is most bang for the buck as per my needs, i was tempting towards 14 pro M1 but i have just decided that’s all wastage of money even if i can afford, i would get a 16 gb ram upgrade which i thinks is worth for a person buying his first and probably last laptop because & as far as storage is concerned i can see 256 gb is more than enough for my needs but i still have external ssd option available at all the time, how my decision?
Thanks a lot you have saved my 1000 dollars
What is the right laptop computer for college students?
MacBook mid 2011 works great but the video card went out of date for some apps. Upgraded to 16mg of ram and SSD
Hello! I wanna buy my first macbook. I need it for some netflix( mostly watch smth on different platforms), browse info and do some studying. Which one is the best option? I’m doubting between macbook air 2020 8gb/256gb 13.3 inch and macbook 2022 8gb/256gb 13.6 inch.
Hello. Is the IMac 24 inches good for photo editing work ? Please suggest. Would highly appreciate it ! Thanks a lot !
If you're looking for an AIO - it will give you similar performance to the Mac Mini and the M1 MBP. I would get 16GB of RAM.
If I want to be an interior designer, but I am only starting my first year of study (and there will be 5 of them in the final result) and we will use Autocad, Photoshop..( sure the others programs too).. which MacBook is better to choose? Because I am not sure to buy MacBook Air 13 M1 or MacBook Pro 14 M2?
So if I were to get the m2 MacBook Air, would I be able to open 97 tabs on chrome? And how long would it last me?
Make detailed video on ipad. Which thing can we use and where are the limitations.
Like I am UX UI designer. So can I use figma, adobe xd?
Sorry for bothering you with this question. I am a college student and my MacBook broke down. Is a MacBook Pro from 2014 13' i5 4GB, 2.5GHZ DDR3 enough for Words, Excel, powerpoint and short video editing? I found a cheap deal from trustworthy seller (Guy who works from home 1x a week).
Great explanation and excellent advice. I’ve one question though, should I wait for m2 mbp 16” or go with m1 mbp 16” . I’m not in too much hurry, and I work professionally as a software developer (for context).
Thank you so much 😊
just go for the MBP 16 with M1 Pro, its very fast.
@@launcherxofficial9893 thanks 😊
What about for 4k video editing and 360 editing?
I wanted to buy the macbook pro m2 13inch 16GB with 256gb storage, it is for my school (unniversity). Also is it too small what do you think?
I’m using a 128 gb base model 2017 MacBook Air and I still haven’t managed to run down the storage on that one, I guess I’ll go with the 256g/16 gb ram model
Hi! I would like to ask for your recommendation. I want to buy a Macbook Air since I mainly use it for social media and work, which I’m a translator so it’s mostly writing a lot of documents. My brother offered me his 8GB M1 MacBook Air for $650 since he mostly uses his other work computer. It’s in great condition. Should I buy the M1 Air, or should I buy a new M2 Air for almost double the amount? Thank you all for your recommendations!
I need the wallpaper at 1:01. its gorgeous
Hello @TechGearTalk I study software developer and I was thinking on buying the mac book pro M1 is it necessary cuz am confused and need your help I just need smthx that will be okay with what I want to do
MacBook Air M1 vs M2 Air ?
Work : Decent Video Editing, Coding, Graphics work
PS: please mention the variant too
Does a MacBook pro m1 pro (8-Core CPU, 14-Core GPU, 16GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD) support cinema 4d?
I dont have much money. As a begginer editor( learning after effect rn. I can run ps and premier pro basic) which one will you recommend me? My choice M1 macbook air with 16gigs 256. Cause i cant afford more. But if i buy macbook pro i can barely afford 13" base model. I need suggestions Please
Mine was buying 14 inch Macbook Pro instead of the larger 16 inch and need bigger screen. Macbook Pro 16 inch with 16GB and 1TB SSD is great. My last MBP only had 256GB hard drive that ran out quickly after a few years. Really need at least 16GB RAM memory and 1TB hard SSD drive minimum.
Can you recommend a laptop for remote work?
Reading these comments and watching this it looks like I scored big with that 2 day $800 sale on the base MacBook Air m1 last week 💪🏻
Congrats!!! You got a great deal!!!
Very helpful, thanks again. Watching from Cameroon 🇨🇲
2:00 - Docker Desktop for macOS uses a CRAP ton of RAM, so if you're a software developer who uses Docker you should keep that in mind. Get an M1 Pro or Max, that comes with 16GB for the base models, or at least fork out the exta $400 to upgrade to 16GB or 32GB.
How much ram is good for a student in m1 air
Bought a used 2015 15" MBP (Configure To Order). Upgraded the SSD to 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus. All is great for this machine just that after upgrading to OS Monterey, boot up need 4min 30sec. Once boot up everything runs great and smooth.
Anyone encountered similar issue like me? Pls share how you fix the issue. Cheers
great video! unfortunately apple does not deliver refurbished macs outside US
Hello, I am looking to buy a laptop. I wanted to ask:
- I am a content creator, mostly social media. I use photoshop a little bit, a lot of canva, some sony vegas pro, as well as spreadsheets, word, cPanel (browser usage) and some light coding.
Would the 8GB Macbook Air M1 version be sufficient for me?
I got my daughter a Macbook Air with 16/512 bought her a 2Tb external NVMA SSD and a 3Tb external hard drive for time machine. So far she hasn’t used either of the external drives and we just back the iMac Air to iCloud.
Can someone give me their opinion on this: I want to buy m1 air base model for college to use during lectures for notes etc. maybe some coding on the side. I will be using my pc setup at home since I have a good enough pc for most tasks: has 16gb ram and 1 tb storage, ryzen 7 3700x and 1660ti
