The M2 15 inch air I have it for over 5+ months now close to a year and it’s an absolute beast! I only maxed out the RAM to 24gb ram with 256gb SSD cause i don’t really see a difference with the speeds and I always don’t mind the waiting on the downloads anyway since I’m doing something else to keep me busy. Overall, I’m very satisfied with it! Use multiple tabs, have photoshop open while watching a stream or TH-cam, pretty much have multiple applications open and the 24gb ram REALLY helps to not wear out the SSD swap or MacBook itself, absolute powerful machine!
We just got the 15 M3 with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Have you tried using it with an external SSD, do you have any recommendations on which to get or if it works well with an external?
Always relevant content, honest opinion is important to have information about what we should really buy. I miss when the video ended, the word "peace".
Fun fact: If you have an M2 Air in midnight and don't have sweaty hands, your Macbook will be cleaner than someone with sweaty hands and an M3 Air in midnight :)
Because the dude is the typical Apple fanboy TH-camr whose videos are all about showcasing and glazing the latest tech products instead of posting actually insightful content. No effort = no reward
midnight color is clearly still a fingerprint magnet. Yes its better, but if youre ocd about that stuff ide still stay far away. The space gray also has the treatment and is much less prone to fingerprints already
I was hoping for the 16gb version for this video as it also has the extra two GPU cores I think. However this will still be a very interesting video with so many people getting the base model. I'm so pleased that it can now be purchased at other retailers. I'm considering going to that version from my 2020 13 M1 MacBook Pro. I love how the advertising material mentions Baldur's Gate 3, so it should!
I'm coming from a MacBook Pro 2016 :D All haters who say MacBooks are expensive should factor in the cost per year. My MBP pro served me so well during these past 7 years!
You never had anything bad to say about Apple products, yes it was said that the midnight colour has improved the fingerprints issue but did you even try to test if it was true?
FWIW.. I owned an m2 air in midnight for a few months before upgrading to a black m3pro and the pro is only marginally better when it comes to the fingerprint dept. I was wiping down my air every day or two and i still do the same with my pro. It is slightly more resistant, but again, only marginally so.
I am just confused between the Air M3 and the Pro M3 as after we spec out the air with good storage and memory, it’s almost same priced as the pro M3…. and I also need a laptop for years to come atleast 6 to 7 years minimum.
I love the MacBook Air. For the slimness, battery life and quality. And it’s the best laptop for like 99% of people. No windows laptops or Chromebook even gets close to this.
Okay, so, for someone upgrading from the intel version to the newer models, which one would you recommend? Because the m2 is cheaper and the m3 is "newer".
@@akashrai3017 right, so, the way I ruled it out is that considering the lifespan of an avg laptop being 5 to 7 years, if you are capable of getting the m3, get that because it'll last you longer. And if not, then purchasing the m2 will not be a decision to regret as the difference is not dramatically noticeable.
hi nikias, My name is Nmma and I’m from the Netherlands and I have been following you since day 1. I love your videos so much and I have a lot of respect for you, you are a real go-getter. I have been saving for an Apple Watch for a long time, but I don't have that much money and I was wondering. You have a lot of Apple Watches that you no longer use, could I perhaps have one?
Great vid!! I am currently torn between the 15' Air fir 512gb vs the Pro M3. There is 10% off at the moment for the Pro so comes in at roughly the same price. Is it a no brainer to get the Pro over the Air? (I do graphic design and light video editing).
Pro has a waaaaay better screen. Was torn between an 14 inch M1 Pro or 15 inch M2 when that was released. Went with the M1 Pro and have zero regrets, largely because of that xdr screen and the extra ports
Get the Pro, or if you have a best buy nearby go see them. I went for the 15 inch m2 macbook Air since I love the starlight color, but, when I compared them side-by-side, the screen was so so much better on the 14 m3 macbook pro, even though I prefer the design, bigger trackpad, and thiness of the Air, the screen alone of the Pro made me paid the extra $200.
Personally I would get the base model with 8gb of ram and use it as a TH-cam and web browsing machine. The cpu is overkill but that makes sense because you want the cpu to not be used a lot so the battery life is high with lots of battery health long term since it doesn’t heat up. And 60hz is perfect since I like digital detox from digital drugs such as gaming on computers and 120hz so that I’m more likely to put the computer down, go outside and talk with people in the world and maybe even find some cool connections and people networking.
idk what are you gonna be doing with it? go pro if you'll be doing a lot of more sustained processor heavy tasks or if you'll have use for the ports. Air is more than fine for a casual computer though. upgrading the ram is probably gonna be the biggest factor when it comes to future proofing either model though.. or selecting one with more than 8gb. I'm a relatively light user but heavy multi-tasker and the 8gb air just wasn't cutting it for me. upgraded to the 18gb pro when I found a great deal on one.. but I'd have kept the air of I'd gone for at least 16gb
I really wanted to pull the trigger on this midnight MBA. Fingerprints don’t bother me. However, wear and tear around the body/ports is what really worries me. I know that will bother as time goes on…. Even tho midnight is 👌🏼
I have the MacBook Pro M2 base. Want a bigger screen. Am I screwing myself over by getting the MacBook M3 Air 15in? I edit photos and videos on the regular.
The new Macbook Air M3 15" 16GB/512GB is similarly priced with Macbook Pro M3 14" 16GB/512GB. Despite the 1" monitor size difference, in terms of performance in everyday use, with main tasks photo editing and web development (using sometimes Virtual Machines with Parallels), which one would somebody suggest? Should any of them perform better for that tasks?
Wish the newer model MacBooks didn't have such crummy keyboard travel (1mm vs 1.5+) and trackpads that don't actually depress. I hurt my fingers & joints from using all of the new models in the last few years so had to unfortunately go back to a Windows laptop for a keyboard and trackpad that doesn't cause arthritis.
Justo me pillé el MB Pro con el M3 Pro, una maravilla. A punto estuve de esperar al Air pero el ProMotion y la pantalla mini-LED, además de los puertos y el extra de la potencia son un must para mi workflow de trabajo.
El mejor para redactar en alemán, castellano, catalán, euskera, gallego, inglés, francés, italiano occitano, portugués, rumano, valenciano y otros idiomas...
@@allstarkidXD I am a visual artist and even for video and photo editing and visual creation it is good. Of course if you want to edit a short film or made 3D animation de facto I would go for the pro. But alongside my IMac and Ipad it is more than enough. It is a powerful machine.
Bro I am geeting. This m3 is 15 laptop 💻 in similar to yours I believe m3 is good blue I am coming to us soon I guess I buy one ☝️for my dad too !! 😳😍❤️

3:10 a little confused but he's got the spirit😂
Apple needs to bring back the lighted Apple logo, it looks so nice in a dark room
it would glow through the screen since it’s so thin now :(
And here I am the only one perhaps who doesn't even like the logo to show, covering it with anything I can think of.
@denniszenanywhere may I ask why? People are gonna know it's a macbook still lol
Its iconic the lighted Apple logo though
Fun fact: If you have an M2 Air in midnight and don't have sweaty hands, your Macbook will be cleaner than someone with sweaty hands and an M3 Air in midnight :)

Just bought this today. Picking up in a couple hours cant wait!!!!
Just got an M2 13” iPad Air, and I’ll be getting the 15” M3 MacBook Air soon! Love their products and your reviews are very helpful.
midnight color is clearly still a fingerprint magnet. Yes its better, but if youre ocd about that stuff ide still stay far away. The space gray also has the treatment and is much less prone to fingerprints already
I still prefer the midnight colour, love how it looks
So cool video man and I really love them so much
love this video!! the midnight color is so cool!!!
I'm watching your video on my M1 Air, More than enough prolly gonna wait for M5 lol :) Love your vids!
Should I still get the M1 MacBook Air? Is it worth?
(Currently using intel MacBook)
Obv MacBooks are better depends on you work if you should go with M1 or m2 or m3
You are right! That NEVER gets old :)
Literally watching this from my brand new MacBook Air 15 m3.

With you on this I just ordered the 15” air m3 coming from a 2015 MBP and my 2015 is just now showing its age
Which one Best M2/M3
You never had anything bad to say about Apple products, yes it was said that the midnight colour has improved the fingerprints issue but did you even try to test if it was true?
I love my M1 Air. As soon as I can I will upgrade to the M3, but that’s years ahead and by that time M4 will be the current one.
Just wait for the M4
@@MrTechnotrance98 Right. I don’t know, I might do the M3 this year. But my M1 was bought at the end of 22’ so I don’t really need it.

"the processing power is years ahead of what we had a few years ago" lol! ps. I like the video btw

The wallpaper 😭 I need it badly in blue
what's the ssd in the base model? Is it the same slow, with one chip?
2:00 can still see fingerprint, would not say anti lol Although less than before but not by a lot
Okay, so, for someone upgrading from the intel version to the newer models, which one would you recommend? Because the m2 is cheaper and the m3 is "newer".
Both will blow your Intel machine away, M2 is plenty not much gain with M3 unless you want to run dual external monitors
I’m also having the same question. I’m currently using MacBook Air 2017 (Intel based).
Confused between these two .

Is this 13 or 15 inch?
Agreed his is the laptop to get
Please help me choose between these two colors starlight or midnight please 🥹🙏
Have the Midnight it looks gorgeous.

You could buy an external monitor and use MacBook in clamshell mode
The price increase for SSD upgrading is criminal
I have the M2 Max MacBook Pro. I want to buy the new iPad Pro or this MacBook Air. Which should I buy
An iPad Pro if you just want to buy something. The M2 Max is still way more powerful than the base M3.

It's a very nice laptop, yet the sound quality (stereo field width) is less good than it was with M1 chassis.
Still rock 16” M1 MBP. Wanted SCREEN SIZE. Didn’t need the power. MBA only 13” at that time. Bummed!

the air is better in ways like school or office work but it lacks still against the pro for those that do content creation more demanding work

Because air is the best selling laptop
But it is though
- it’s cheaper
- it’s lighter
- more portable
- incredibly fast
I could keep going
The air is better for most peeper
m3's power is years ahead of what we had years ago ? :p

Only buy the pro if your work is intense but if it not just get the air even 1080p video editing the air do fine just don’t get 8 ram
I think it's better than the pro in terms of form factor as well.
