- The new Apple MacBook Air M1 is here and after everyone I know has been bugging me to try it with its new M1 chipset, I gave in and bought one. So let's see how someone not using Apple's programs does in terms of battery life, photo editing, video editing, and more in this M1 MacBook Air real-world test.

This guy is doing some actual practical tests by starting with the lowest base model which most people will buy.
A lot of people have done tests with the base model.

@@coco2114 What is up with that dude?
@@ambuj.k just kidding mate
Chup beh
This is the first M1 review I've seen with coffee and without benchmarks - one of those two things has earned it a thumbs up 👍

meow meow
wow 666 likes wow just worw
love these real world tests - great work!
1:32 while your friends have been very impressed with the performance of the new M1 MacBook Air, your workflow is probably more what the computer is actually intended for. I have had my M1 MBA for about 2 days and so far it is my favorite laptop ever.
This guy is the absolute master at making it look like his camera flies over and sets itself up as he walks in a room.
This is probably one of the most well explained reviews I’ve seen so far. Also appreciated that you tested it out with Adobe since that’s also what I use to edit stuff. I guess you just got a new subscriber here 😉
Thank you!
One of the best real world tests I've seen on this Macbook
Very nice 'real-world' review. I'm getting tired of seeing benchmarks and it's nice to see someone with a real appreciation for battery life.
Yes, more memory is usually the better choice and I really can't wait (nor even imagine) what the next Apple Silicon machines will be like. We've got a pretty exciting couple of years ahead of us.
I'm also a bit tired of watching video editing demos, but this is TH-cam and the fact that you can even try to edit a video on the MacBook Air is pretty amazing.
every part of this video was everything i wanted and it's just so satisfying
🙏🙏🙏
I hate you for convincing me to order one of these.
I blame Jaime really
I misread your name as “Intel” and just about lost it. 🤣
@@Fluffisnoterm if only it was. Haha

This was simply an amazing video - love the tests for battery life - thank you for a great video
The thing that impresses me the most is holding that phone for 30 minutes in your hand...
meow meow
Yep... Watching paint dry for 30min 3 times... That blew me away
@FirePhly really??? ;-)
Great and informative video man. Thanks
Thanks so much!
meow meow
@@ANYA.RIZALI wtf
One of the better reviews I've come across. Subbed!
so cool you're in NY. Also you're one of the vids that made me buy the XM4's. keep up the great work
A really informative vid cheers mate 🍻
Awesome format. I like it.
This is the most authentic video on M1 chip so far on TH-cam 👍
Great stuff, as always, David! Have been keen to get this sort of input on Air vs Pro ahead of updating a Pro in the New Year, so Big Thanks and I'll watch out for your Pro test in due course. Yeah, OK, I'll get on-board with Decodr too 😉
Great video keep it up as always stay safe 👍
great video, love the editing style
I think it’s a smart move for Apple to move to its own chips. Hopefully, this will encourage/force intel, etc to raise their game. I only just bought a new MacBook about 6 months ago and so it’ll be a couple of years before I need a new one. Seeing as I don’t really use a laptop on the move, I might get a Mac mini or an M series iMac.
The kind of video that I like most. I just bought. You convinced me and I'm very happy with my purchase. Thanks dude
This is the most honest practical review i've ever watched
valid points! liked and subscribed.
Came in here to get convinced to get a Macbook, and that little glimpse of the Blade Studio made me want that instead. What a beautiful machine
That was awesome dude
Great review 👌🏾🤙🏾
Thanks for the vid! Very informative. :)
I like your video. I think there would be a lot more views had this come out a couple days earlier.
Yes yes yes
Thank you for the great content
Excellent video. I understand a lot more about my new MacBook now. Thank you.
You just got a new subscriber! Nice upload.
This video is literally professional and highly useful! Thank you!
Thank you!
You've definitely helped me a ton with your info on this man! 🙏🙏🙏 I run Premiere and shoot with a Sony A7iii not the siii so this should handle my footage even better than my current desktop. 😅 I'm going for 16 GB of RAM. Not only is it good for now, but it helps future proof the laptop as well.
Excellent video & review, thanks! I’ve the same MacBook too, same colour, but the 512gb version. I just love it! Fast & snappy with amazing battery life. Stay safe over there. Best wishes from Australia. 🇦🇺😁✌️
Thank you! You too!
Amazing real life video.. Thanks so much..
Appreciate it..!! 💫
Thank you!
Didnt know i was gonna learn Photoshop today!😂
‘First thing first, Coffee...Check” ....It never gets old...LOL
I love mine. I was a lifetime Windows user until a month ago when I bought the base Mac Air M1. I am very happy.
Finally a real life honest review..
love the way u say coffee check
Wonderful video! I just bought my first MacBook and I’m curious how the M1 chip stacks up against other competitors.
Good review and nice to see the motion elements added into the technical review , that lightened the overall mix and made what is essentially a tecnical Mac review into a very watchable video for this of us out there who arent MacHeads
This was a great video. I bought a Macbook air '13 2020 about 2 months before silicone released. I'll wait till they get the bugs straightened out in a few years before jumping ship.
Wonderful wonderful review man I just subscribe jus to let you know bless
Thank you!!
I was skeptical for new macbooks but when I saw your review which good and explanatory. I would try new macbook 👊
hello
hope you are well....
that is a great review thank you but could you please tell me if data science and machine learning softwares would run on it?
thanks
The best video i saw so far about the m1 . Thanks!
Thank you! M2 MacBook Pro video coming soon too!
Do you think that the next year's model will rise in price? Also I hope they will fill the left-empty space by the smaller motherboard inside with some more battery.
Is there any chance they will also expand the screen to make it bezel-less?
can you try to enlarge photos form your camera in 5 times and try how it works in photoshop, especially with healing brush? thanks
M1 really is a game changer. Can't wait to see the development of this chip in future considering how good this first-gen is. Excited to hear that you want to buy the 16GB as well. I am very curious about how much better the performance can be with more RAM.
Subscribed!
You's the man bro!
Nice video, good points but, now what would you do with that laptop? I mean, if it's not your main laptop f or anything, does it worth the price to keep it for any secondary task in your case?
David, thank you for the videos and reviews. First, love the look of the apartment, the earth colors, and the wood. Second, you are a hard-core coffee drinker to be sitting outside on what had to be a cold day in NYC, I am very impressed. You need a coffee and coffee maker sponsorship for the channel. How hard is the transition to Apple products? Never used any of their products. Stay safe.
Just purchase mine can’t wait to get it
Yes i loved the Format
Hey very interested in getting an air to use Lightroom classic for raw photo editing! Have you noticed any slow down with this (ignoring what you experienced in photoshop)
Has premiere pro ever been optimized? I have hopes of Davinci working well with this system but I’m glad I already edit on final cut almost exclusively.
This an awesome review of the M1, especially Apple has that full stack control can optimise the crap out of it.
At first I was watching it and thought, no coffee? Then couple mins in, it's coffee time haha.
Torn between gold and silver. Trying to figure out in videos if the gold is pinkish or orangeish. Does anyone know which color it's closer to?
This was the most perfect video I could find, THANK YOU! When do you think Adobe photoshop will be optimized for the M1? Need need PH for work😂
really enjoyed the video! keep it up🔥
This kind of video is actually better than reviewing everything inside a room, like to see this more 💯
Subscribe and you will 😊
What was your screen brightness? Not the whole time at max i guess? Battery life on my MacBook air isn't nearly as good as yours
most of my work is just coding and presenting and reading and no photo/video editing, so I bought a pro one with 8 gigabytes ram, just about 15 minutes ago... now after watching your video, I'm really happy with my new laptop
So glad I could help!
Asking suggestions.. air m1 isn’t good on video editing ? I am planning to buy .
REAL TESTING! THUMBS UP!
Great video! How was the display brightness outdoors, considering the 400 nits?
I'm watching M1 macbook air review on M1 macbook air...... LOL😂
Most people misunderstand what's great about the "unified memory"
If your CPU has an integrated GPU, it already has to share the system memory with the CPU.
The great thing is that it's on the SOC, and that allows both the CPU and GPU to have very fast memory speeds.
This will be a great baseline test for pre optimised software. As soon as the non apple software gets optimised for apple I'd love to see a comparison.
How is the air going temperature based? I am doing light typical student workflow at my phd and this is the only thing that makes me a bit scary
I did the same test with the same spec fo MBAM1 and final cut pro and it blew through 4k RED footage like butter.
Coming from a 8 yr old VAIO, I’m SUPER EXCITED to get the new air!!
I was worried that my Mac's battery power might have been faulty. I mainly only use my mac for video editing and would lose full power in about 4.5 hours. I guess this is normal?
This is the perfect in-real-life-use case video that I needed. I've been a lifetime windows user and I think I'm leaning more and more towards apples stuff
as someone who switched to Mac for educational purposes and experience with the OS, I can say its overhyped and not worth it.
I've also been a windows user since forever and never owned a Mac until the M1 Macbook Air and I gotta say that, for the money, this is the most powerful ultrabook out there at the moment. Mac OS is very difficult to use tho, lol
@@marbesto Exactly! I already have a powerful pc where I have my games. And the m1 MacBook seems like it's just what I need, a good laptop with a good battery life that just works
@@marbesto I'm not referring to the laptop capabilities, a third of the people on the Internet who are raving to get one do not and will not even use all of the power of the m1 they just want it just to have it which is fine, but I was referring to the OS experience, and how every TH-cam worship us and everyone says windows is trash. although macOS is more polished than windows the overall experience was meh at the best. they both have their pros and cons. for what I need windows suits me best but for the more simple task and day to day, I would say macOS does it just fine
Real life use isn't just video editing but TH-camrs can't seem to understand.
Thanks for the video
Please do M1 MacBook Air get hot when using it for a long period time in a day?
Would you like do some test for coding. I wanna try this stuff but Idk is it compatible or not
this dude was like "uhh yeah some slow down here" bruh that was like a tenth of a second.
it's bc it's Apple
I think in a few years, it’s gonna crush!! And more importantly what it will force the industry as a whole to do, which is the real exciting part in my opinion. I’ll hold onto to my 2015 MacBook Air for a bit and possibly grab a 2020 13” MacBook Pro if I decide to upgrade within the next year. Apple said 2 years. But I’m guessing more like 3-4. Restructuring software architecture is time consuming. I’ve always applauded apple’s ambitious nature, even when they have fallen short at times. But moving what equivocates to a global industry at this point to shift gears is going to take time. And 2 years is well, ambitious if nothing else.
Do you have to upgrade your particular software for this mac book for free or extra expenses?
Hello there m8! Nice video :) I'm pretty new to apple world and M1 macbook is my first-time-macbook ever. And I'm wondering... How are you managing you disk space when editing videos, photos etc? I mean- it's ONLY 256 gb of disk in my case. And I say only, because all these years I was using PC with more then 4 TB od overall disks space. So I used to have free space of my disk all the time, so the 30-50 GB recordings were not a problem for me. And now they are :) So are you using iCloud to manage all the materials you're using? Or maybe external drives all the time? What is your secret here? :D
I had this strange feeling that I have seen you somewhere and then I realised that you look like Tom Hiddleston.😂
No.
@@theplagueroad4603 Yes.
yes me too!!
He looks like Hunt from Grey’s Anatomy
Subbed great video 📹👍
Thank you!
Does this have 8 GB RAM?
What camera do you VLOG with? looks great!
How much hours is the batterylife ?
Hi ! Have a quick question, when you say market share what’s the market you are referring to ?? Apple users, Mac users, or something more like computer (pc, Mac, Linux included? Because my prior would have been that Mac users prefer to use safari, for example.
Nice
I have the 16” MBP for work and there are three things I don’t like about it. The battery life is okay, but nothing to be excited about as electron apps like VSCode or Slack just slurp at my battery. I actually don’t like that it has to be thicker than the 2018 15” just to be able to have decent thermals and decent performance and finally the thing is constantly over 100°F if not higher when it’s at idle. So I’m looking forward to the new M series Macs. I hope the 16” gets thinner but with multi day battery life with a 10 or 12 core CPU.
I really thinking and debating if I should get the ipad pro or the M1 I really like the fact that i can have all my apps popping on my screen with the ipad tbh and im using my current desktop computer only for word and google sheets tbh i feel i can do it also on a new iPad..
What are your thoughts?
Are the Adobe softwares optimised in this MacBook in 2023?
I upgraded to the m1 air after my 2013 pro had screen issues haven't had it long enough to make a proper judgment yet but this thing is crazy fast and so far great for music production great W for apple on this one
8gb for músic production??? Thanks!
I've wanted a MacBook for years and finally pulled the trigger on the M1 Air this last weekend. Since 16gb was a month and a half out, and some research I decided to just get the 8gb version (with 512gb ssd). I use it for light FCP editing and some LR and PS. I've been extremely impressed so far. It feels weird editing 4k footage and exporting out of Lightroom on a computer with just 8gb of ram when my main PC is running at 32. Needless to say, sometimes it's nice to edit a vid real quick on the couch on the little MacBook Air. No regrets here!
Do you still think 8GB was worth it after one year?
@@Sana-hp9on Absolutely. I use it almost daily and it handles everything I've thrown at it. I forget it has 8GB sometimes to be honest.
Abelton 11 running native on my m1 is gonna be a game charger with luna UA interface. i have the pro with 16g/1tb
Did you test the MacBook Pro m1 with a 120 hz display I have a 49 inch 3800 x 1080 would you know if it work thanks
Will this work for 3D graphics
how about heating or not ?? i just want to know , it is ok with heat ??
