I bought an intel MBP a month prior to the M1 release, was five weeks outside of the two week return window, but the local Apple store hooked your boy up with a swap for an M1 machine.
@@andreaslassak2111 You can make that comparison now ony because Apple created that reason to begin with i.e Before MacOS Big SUr there was no optimization so users couldn't say "this is better" (add to to fact it was running Intel Mac's. which only sweetens the deal) so even if Apple wanted to, they couldn't because someone else owned the chip Big Sur and up, is M-Optimized so that is another factor to add in as well .. Ya, its fast because it's M powered chip, but now the OS is also optimized to take better advantage of the instruction set. of M series chips. eg. If Catalina was not optimized but it ran on M1 architecture Big sur would STILL wins because is can excuse instructions quicker (being optimized for performance). It has to be optimized all the way: from chip to the OS, otherwise it doesn't work. And now Apple can do that going forward.
I sold my 2020 i5 MacBook Pro for the 8GPU Core Air. Best decision ever. This thing is incredible. It truly is the dream computer. Light, silent, super fast.
yep, yep and yep... Unfortunately we give up our beloved apps which will never be translated to ARM, but some things are just more important..> >> I still find it interesting to this day until a larger force comes along, we are happy to keep out beloved x86 Mac apps, but as soon as the the sun explores, we think its time for a change. Even if that means cutting our apps by 50% and accepting apps will never be ported (i.e retired apps and free non-popular apps_) so be it. "Performance stays in front"
I usually say that Macs are overpriced intel laptops... Now with M1, the price feels a helluva lot more justified. Custom processor specifically made for an INSANE power to performance ratio... and Rosetta seems to be near realtime if not realtime x86 to ARM machine code translation... Bravo Apple. I usually do not applaud your computers, but even I must say you did good on this one.
They are not going to stay that cheap if other manufacturers lack behind and there is no competition in ARM. Apple needs to attract consumers and developers to the new platform and that’s why these first devices are a bit cheaper than were used to.
yeah fair point, using the same battery size for twice the battery performance would lower power consumption (and additionally electricity bills) and therefore benefit the environment. I like this.

@@tek1645 Zen 1 was a wakeup call they didn't heed. Zen 2 started eating their desktop and server markets in a serious way in 2019 (along with making them irrelevant in high end workstations) and finally threatened their laptop dominance in early 2020. Zen 3 now has the desktop performance crown (and the next generation server, workstation, laptop and APUs will be beasts too). Now add Apple providing the first genuinely solid ARM laptops, their cash cow of the laptop market is even more threatened. Watch Microsoft get together with Qualcomm (and perhaps Samsung) to produce solid ARM Windows laptops. Hopefully MS can produce an x86 translator comparable to Rosetta (or maybe licence the tech) to produce some genuinely low power laptops while AMD is eating up the high power x86 laptop market. Intel seriously needs to get their process node mess sorted. Their engineers have produced some remarkable workarounds to keep 14nm on life support but dear lord they need a serious die shrink.
@@MaxTechOfficial What's crazy is that was with 8gbs of RAM on the Air right? In my experience that's usually the biggest limitation with Logic or Pro Tools.
i mean it seems like it was all native logic sounds, which would be much more optimized. Would not expect the same performance as soon as you start using 3rd party plugins/vst's/samples etc. But even then, can't say i wasn't surprised at the performance it got in the test compared to the intel.
@@SahajOp Actually the i3 MacBook Air is better than the i5 counterpart. The i5 throttles too much and is performing just as shit as the i3. So you pay extra for absolutely no benefit for i5.
@@ToreOnTH-cam historically we know apple is always late to the party and other manufacturers have been "at it" longer. but when apple does it, it really does take over the industry
What’s going to change the industry is that Apple is about to establish dominance in multiple appliances with Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, Watch and Mac. The integration in their walled garden is tight and getting tighter. Once they clean up the iOS applications on the Mac, they’ll shift their eyes to gaming. I know it’s casual right now, and even with gamepad integration, they have a way to go; but AAA publishers are going to take a serious look at this platform that will not only encompass a very capable Mac, but also iPad and iPhone platforms that will simplify development and deployment. From a market perspective, there are a lot of kids who were raised by iPads and iPhones as well. Lastly, China is pretty Apple mad. Apple may not dominate the entire industry, but they are about to buttress that wall especially in higher end consumer electronics. As a fanboy, I’m excited to see where Apple will end up in five years, and this is all post-Jobs.
I've bought MB air M1 today, have to wait a few days for it to arrive though, So happy I didn't buy 2020 version. I really feel sorry for folks who did. Kinda not fair game from Apple

F in the chat for Intel. They got beaten by apple processors amd AMD just destroyed them. I cant wait to tell my dad this who thinks Intel is the way to go.

These Macs are insane. I love playing gamecube games, so I downloaded dolphin when I got my Macbook air yesterday, I started playing at 3x resolution so it would be 1080p, set it aside, forgot about it, kept using my Mac like normal, and just noticed the game was playing in the background because I unmuted the audio to watch this video, the Mac didn't even get warm and I was web browsing, had a power point open and the Apple TV app in the background, and that's with dolphin not being optimized yet it's running under roseta.
Hey Max!!! I love your vids. Yo help me out a lot with figuring out what laptop to buy. Your channel is so underrated tho. I hope you get to a million subs soon.
Thanks for the excellent comparison video! Although some who bought the previous (though recent) version may be a bit upset, I miss the days of blindingly fast innovation. This gives me a warm nostalgic feeling.
Most of you don’t know this maybe: the intel air is intentionally crippled in 2 ways: the fan doesn’t connect to the heat sink and the heat sink does not actually touch the CPU die. When I discovered this at first I am infinitely baffled as to why, but now I think apple did this to make M1 look better. It’s still a wayyyy better chip, I just think I should point this out.
I've been thinking the same thing for a while now. If that isn't intentional crippling, I don't know what is. I'd be interested to see a comparison between the new M1 and a properly made Laptop that's running Hackintosh software so we can get some fairer comparisons. Also comparing any flagship computer to an i3 these days is like comparing a rowboat to a speedboat. Of course it's going to fail.
Vadim really really earned this video. Vadim has been giving us the Apple Silicon speculation goodness for MONTHS and it's so satisfying getting to see him finally have them in his hands and see how excited he is that it's living up to and/or surpassing his expections/predictions. Ya love to see it.
I remember when I got my MacBook Air intel, I had no idea about intel back then... and the major difference. I would watch TH-cam and my Mac would crash and overheat all the time even when I was writing assignments at uni. I now use a MacBook Pro M3 massive change, but the MacBook Air intel was a horrible experience to say the least..
@@Jimmyxsx I wouldn’t count on it. Intel have been caught with their pants down by AMD’s recent efforts, and haven’t been able to get their shit together in past few years, struggling just to keep relevant, not even keeping up, really. I predict, in no more than ten years, Intel will be reduced to bespoke microcontrollers and legacy hardware support. The x86 architecture will outlive them. I’m sure AMD will continue to advance it, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we found that AMD had been experimenting with ARM and RISC-V on the quiet for the past couple of years, getting ready for a seismic shift like this. Remember, pundits have been saying since at least 2012 that Apple should be looking to shift to ARM, and prior to that, Microsoft was trying to push to ARM as early as 2007.
Will also switch once the android studio/flutter and other dev tools run perfectly on the m1 chip. I might go for air since air and pro are basically have the same specs and im not a fan of touchbar
He literally pulled out the crappiest apple-sheepiest i3 Macbook Air with its innovative wireless heat pipe for the performance comparison. Sure showed the haters.
I'm rocking my 2010 core 2 duo MBP 13inch. I have performed a ram upgrade to 8gb and installed an SSD. Has served me well for just over 10 years for TH-cam, Netflix, browsing, admin. Time for an upgrade I think! Will get 5 years+ out of this
I think what really helps is that the M1's SoC has the CPU cores, GPU cores and Neural Engine core all very closely coupled to each other. The result: shockingly fast performance, especially in graphics. Can you imagine an 8 high-performance core/16 GPU core SoC, the likely configuration for the higher-end MacBook Pros and the iMac? 😲
Hope there is a pillow behind Vadim, because his about to pass out from all the excitement. Also really hope call of duty mobile or PUBG come to these new macs.

I'm starting to think, Apple has one of the best engineers in their teams. They swept the floor with Intel in this comparison, miles beyond what AMD did a couple of weeks ago.
Nope the new 14 inch redesign coming in 2021 will be the higher model while the 13 inch mba with the m1 chip will be the base. Then they will remove all intel macbooks
@@MrTiJackSH why do you think the higher model rn are the intel for 1,800 eventually by next year it will be replace with 14 inch redesign but if you want to be hard head and not believe then it doesn’t really matter what I say
Is that the 8th or 10th gen? If it’s the latter, it’s not a big deal, you still have a great machine, have 2 more USB ports and 1 more vent. And you still get to use bootcamp, which, if you really are a “pro” user, might be a game-changer. Moreover I expect the difference between the new Pro models to not be so huge, not because of the new MacBook Pro, which I am sure will be great, but because of the old MacBook Air, which was probably the worst Mac ever produced. It’s not great if a 999$ machine can run zoom and yt at once, it’s worrying that the older one can’t.
@@giacomorip711 yes i have the 1799 model thats a total pro no fan noise even with final cut pro ectra ports 2 fans 2 vents 16 GB Ram dude clocked at 3733 MHz
The reason why M1 Macbook is running smoothly compared to Intel version is the due to the fact that M1 has 8 cores: With 4 high performance cores, and 4 smaller efficient cores. It's all about scalability, the more cores you have on your computer means the faster it can process all the task that's running.
I’ve been using the MacBook Air from 2013 for the past 8 years and it’s time for it to retire. Aside from a faulty keyboard, everything about it was nice. I’ll be getting the m1! So excited!
Thank you so much for this above par review! I was so thankful I didn't get the Early 2020 Air. 'About to get the 2017 Air, instead, because it had an i5 processor. My concern was the processor since I do creative tasks from time to time. Thankfully, I drop by TH-cam once in a while. When I saw the Apple Silicon coming on November, I hit that. Man, nobody knew how much relief it brought me to know about M1 chip. Until the Apple Event 'One More Thing' event. I ate breakfast while watching that, enormously. Sorry I did storytelling. The thing is, I am glad I waited and prayed for the best thing to come, so far. Thanks for making me realize this even more. ♥️ Lawyer here! 🙋♀️

The buyers of early MacBook air 2020 are really crying right now!
@@paulomark i really am
They've been crying ever since 2017 because of AMD
@@tek1645 Zen 1 was a wakeup call they didn't heed. Zen 2 started eating their desktop and server markets in a serious way in 2019 (along with making them irrelevant in high end workstations) and finally threatened their laptop dominance in early 2020. Zen 3 now has the desktop performance crown (and the next generation server, workstation, laptop and APUs will be beasts too).
Now add Apple providing the first genuinely solid ARM laptops, their cash cow of the laptop market is even more threatened. Watch Microsoft get together with Qualcomm (and perhaps Samsung) to produce solid ARM Windows laptops. Hopefully MS can produce an x86 translator comparable to Rosetta (or maybe licence the tech) to produce some genuinely low power laptops while AMD is eating up the high power x86 laptop market.
Intel seriously needs to get their process node mess sorted. Their engineers have produced some remarkable workarounds to keep 14nm on life support but dear lord they need a serious die shrink.

Close to 95 tracks on Logic Pro on a MacBook Air? What is going on!
the $2300 8-core 2020 iMac was able to run 125 tracks maximum with 64GB of RAM!
3rd party vst support is the biggest problem...catalina wrecked alot of ppl’s vsts, this looks way worse
@@MaxTechOfficial What's crazy is that was with 8gbs of RAM on the Air right? In my experience that's usually the biggest limitation with Logic or Pro Tools.
@@wassapjy1 Apple don't need it as much as microsoft because they have A very good emulator while microsoft emulator is definitely worse
i mean it seems like it was all native logic sounds, which would be much more optimized. Would not expect the same performance as soon as you start using 3rd party plugins/vst's/samples etc.
But even then, can't say i wasn't surprised at the performance it got in the test compared to the intel.

This is going to change the entire industry ..
ARM was set to change the game for a long time. Amazon has been at it for a long time now.
@@ToreOnTH-cam historically we know apple is always late to the party and other manufacturers have been "at it" longer. but when apple does it, it really does take over the industry
@@ToreOnTH-cam they ve been at it yet nobody heard about it. Wait 1 year to see the level Apple is taking this new tech to
It’s to early to say, coz soft is the king, hardware is the second.
What’s going to change the industry is that Apple is about to establish dominance in multiple appliances with Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, Watch and Mac. The integration in their walled garden is tight and getting tighter. Once they clean up the iOS applications on the Mac, they’ll shift their eyes to gaming. I know it’s casual right now, and even with gamepad integration, they have a way to go; but AAA publishers are going to take a serious look at this platform that will not only encompass a very capable Mac, but also iPad and iPhone platforms that will simplify development and deployment. From a market perspective, there are a lot of kids who were raised by iPads and iPhones as well. Lastly, China is pretty Apple mad. Apple may not dominate the entire industry, but they are about to buttress that wall especially in higher end consumer electronics. As a fanboy, I’m excited to see where Apple will end up in five years, and this is all post-Jobs.

These Macs are insane. I love playing gamecube games, so I downloaded dolphin when I got my Macbook air yesterday, I started playing at 3x resolution so it would be 1080p, set it aside, forgot about it, kept using my Mac like normal, and just noticed the game was playing in the background because I unmuted the audio to watch this video, the Mac didn't even get warm and I was web browsing, had a power point open and the Apple TV app in the background, and that's with dolphin not being optimized yet it's running under roseta.

If it were up to intel, it’d take a year to get 20% faster, 5 years to get 2x faster and 15 years to get 4x faster. This is like intel in 2035.
Dude you are not comparing same arch.
Plus do nothing about the heat and power consumption. Now we realize how Intel has been skating by all these years taking customers money
Also, 20% yearly improvements means 4x in 8 years, not 16. Not defending intel, just pointing out a mistake:)
More like 2.5x faster after 5 years and about 15.4 x faster after 15 years because a 20% performance boost each year compounds

i was 1 click away from purchasing an Intel Macbook Air as it was on sale and a lot cheaper. This video saved me a lot of trouble.
Same buddy 😂
Thanks for the excellent comparison video! Although some who bought the previous (though recent) version may be a bit upset, I miss the days of blindingly fast innovation. This gives me a warm nostalgic feeling.
Most of you don’t know this maybe: the intel air is intentionally crippled in 2 ways: the fan doesn’t connect to the heat sink and the heat sink does not actually touch the CPU die. When I discovered this at first I am infinitely baffled as to why, but now I think apple did this to make M1 look better. It’s still a wayyyy better chip, I just think I should point this out.
I've been thinking the same thing for a while now. If that isn't intentional crippling, I don't know what is. I'd be interested to see a comparison between the new M1 and a properly made Laptop that's running Hackintosh software so we can get some fairer comparisons.
Also comparing any flagship computer to an i3 these days is like comparing a rowboat to a speedboat. Of course it's going to fail.

I remember when I got my MacBook Air intel, I had no idea about intel back then... and the major difference. I would watch TH-cam and my Mac would crash and overheat all the time even when I was writing assignments at uni. I now use a MacBook Pro M3 massive change, but the MacBook Air intel was a horrible experience to say the least..
Intel is so DONE. Even me, hardcore Windows user might switch to Mac.
Competition brings out the best of everyone. Im sure Intel will put their shit together now and make something to compete.
@@Jimmyxsx I wouldn’t count on it. Intel have been caught with their pants down by AMD’s recent efforts, and haven’t been able to get their shit together in past few years, struggling just to keep relevant, not even keeping up, really. I predict, in no more than ten years, Intel will be reduced to bespoke microcontrollers and legacy hardware support. The x86 architecture will outlive them. I’m sure AMD will continue to advance it, but I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we found that AMD had been experimenting with ARM and RISC-V on the quiet for the past couple of years, getting ready for a seismic shift like this. Remember, pundits have been saying since at least 2012 that Apple should be looking to shift to ARM, and prior to that, Microsoft was trying to push to ARM as early as 2007.
Will also switch once the android studio/flutter and other dev tools run perfectly on the m1 chip. I might go for air since air and pro are basically have the same specs and im not a fan of touchbar

Best in depth comparison I’ve seen so far today👏🏽
I think what really helps is that the M1's SoC has the CPU cores, GPU cores and Neural Engine core all very closely coupled to each other. The result: shockingly fast performance, especially in graphics. Can you imagine an 8 high-performance core/16 GPU core SoC, the likely configuration for the higher-end MacBook Pros and the iMac? 😲
Conclusion? The Intel MacBook Air is an 8-Track Player. Not just obsolete like an 8-Track Player. Literally an 8-Track Player.

Is that the 8th or 10th gen? If it’s the latter, it’s not a big deal, you still have a great machine, have 2 more USB ports and 1 more vent. And you still get to use bootcamp, which, if you really are a “pro” user, might be a game-changer. Moreover I expect the difference between the new Pro models to not be so huge, not because of the new MacBook Pro, which I am sure will be great, but because of the old MacBook Air, which was probably the worst Mac ever produced. It’s not great if a 999$ machine can run zoom and yt at once, it’s worrying that the older one can’t.

The reason why M1 Macbook is running smoothly compared to Intel version is the due to the fact that M1 has 8 cores: With 4 high performance cores, and 4 smaller efficient cores. It's all about scalability, the more cores you have on your computer means the faster it can process all the task that's running.

Thank you so much for this above par review! I was so thankful I didn't get the Early 2020 Air. 'About to get the 2017 Air, instead, because it had an i5 processor.
My concern was the processor since I do creative tasks from time to time. Thankfully, I drop by TH-cam once in a while. When I saw the Apple Silicon coming on November, I hit that. Man, nobody knew how much relief it brought me to know about M1 chip. Until the Apple Event 'One More Thing' event. I ate breakfast while watching that, enormously.
Sorry I did storytelling. The thing is, I am glad I waited and prayed for the best thing to come, so far. Thanks for making me realize this even more. ♥️ Lawyer here! 🙋♀️
