Indeed the M1 MacBook Air is a phenomenal machine in 2024. I use it for music production, video production, photo editing and occasional gameplay. Excellent machine.
when the m1 came out every channel was in awe at how amazing video editing is on that thing. unless you wanna do 8k prores, it still edits as well as it did on day one.
Remember all the praises that M1 garnered from video editors and how radically faster it was than anything that preceded it ?😮😮 Well, in video editing world not much has changed since, so basic M1 powered laptop is still that amazing today. I have basic M1 MBP and everything I throw at it deals with ease so no need to upgrade. I am one of those rare specimens who misses the old task bar above the keyboard 😂
I'm also using an m1 air for photo editing and other daily administrative tasks and never had any problems at all. I don't see any reason to jump into newer macbook soon!
Gave my mbp m1 to my dad and kept the air m1 for myself love it sleek and small still love the design They should make a MacBook SE with MacBook Air m1 shell but with like m2 chip
That would be sweet! Yeah after having the M1 Pro and put the M1 air on my lap I instantly decided the weight factor was worth it. I also like the older design.
Thanks very much. I was so confused. I plan to use it for regular browsing, Netflix and little bit of excel. However, I was planning to get back to photography and videos so sometime in the future will load photoshop and basic video editing stuff. Wasn’t sure if I had to go for M2 or 16GB RAM which is v expensive than this. There is a sale in India right now and M1 AIR has a good deal. I think I’m gonna go for that. Thanks once again.
I was so much confused about the m1 because in my budget there are good windows laptops available but i feel m1 is the best machine and right now is available in best pricing range . i will be using vs code n sometimes editing on it . hope it works out well. Thanks for clearing my confusion.
Team Air!!!!! I came here after watching a video comparing Air and Pros. Still not convinced to go Pro. Nothing beats Air for me and this video cements my appreciation for Air
Please help me out with this question! Or make a video on it, can I edit iPhone 16 pro max 4K 60FPS ProRes videos on m1 ? And EVEN 4K 120 FPS ON M1 BASE MODEL?
Hey wanna start conetent creation so thinking of buying laptop what should i buy macbook m1,m2 base models or lenovo loq i5 12th rtx 3050gb 125wtdp I have iphone 13 as shoot device
Hey! Yiu use M1 for video editing, what video editimg software though? I. curupus to know Premiere Pro render/export speeds on it. Any help wpuld be much appreciated.
"video editing" for some is just cutting and pasting some clips together. for others - its a lot of effects that kill a "low spec" device. tried rendering a project - it crashed.
Just got a used mba 8/512 for 475 usd. Hopefully it’s ok for starting a small yt channel. No crazy edits or big 4K files. What do u suggest for video editing footage off an iPhone 13 Pro.
I look for a cheap MB for my Video editing with davinci resolve 1080p some special effects and a lot of cuts an stuff. Do you think the MB Air with M1 is good?
Wow this video comes at a time when im lookig for a refurb mac. Now should i go with air m3 16memory 512gb Or air m1 16memory 1tb, both refurb at $1250 Pls people help out
@@sloeesloee got it....still m3 says raytracing, active Moises reduction in mic, and some other stuff that talks of 1.6x over m1 etc. Wouldn't I be missing out on thay coz for 100 bucks I can buy 1tb external ssd right?
@@phanihunt I have absolutely no issues with m1 air even with just 8 gigs of ram while doing a lot of hard stuff like music production. My only bottleneck is 256 gb ssd, and because of that I just bought mbp m1 pro 16/1tb. Btw macbook air looks better to me because of lighter weight and thinner body, also air is cooler and battery life is longer (glad it fixes on Pro with low power mode)

It’s almost revolutionary.
@@Davidmccombsram and ssd config?
Still rocking the m1 MacBook Air!
Got both M1 air and M3 air I still like the feel of the M1 better.
Yeah I tried the m2 15 inch and never noticed much of a difference.
@@DavidmccombsI mean you aren’t supposed to change your laptop every year or two

You are right and it's the last MacBook Air 100% aluminium. Keep it. It will be collector......

Haha! Yep. Still waiting for a major upgrade before I doing anything.
Is 8 gb enough for video editing?
@@pulkitsinghal3035 Did you find the answer to your question? I'm also looking at the 8GB model.
Love seeing these kinds of videos!
Thank you!

Good video. Another good thing about the Air is it doesn't have a fan so it is silent. That was really important to me when I bought mine.
I like the M1 Macbook Air because it doesn't have a notch.
Yep but still has that classic look.
Is a 4K monitor good for the 2020 M1 mini?

upgraded to an m3 air from my slow intel 2020 13 inch pro and I'm so so happy
It’s so true
Agree with you opinion!
Thank a lot

Great video! Had a question, Which USB Hub are you using to connect to a monitor and other stuff? and do you always have an external SDD plugged in?
I use the FusionDock and I use a sandisk ssd

Hi ! Did you get an aswer, I'm interested too. Thank you
@ not yet but soon I’ll be buying and will let you know
How much is the SSD?
The M1 is just something else! If you are not too annoyed by dongles, the Air is AMAZING!
What software do you use for editing?
Davinci
Vantura or Sonoma? which OS you are using in your macbook air M1 ?
Sonoma

M1 air with 8 gb ram enough for da vinci ??? Can it edit simple 4k footages from Iphn 16 pro max ??
Yep, I use it all the time with my Sony cameras. It will be more than fine on iPhone. Just turn off HDR.
@@Davidmccombs thanks brother ...m getting one today and i was confused if it's still good for video editing

I use davinci
Can you recommend a 4K monitor for video editing with Final Cut Pro X on my M1 MacBook Pro?
I use the 27 inch 5k ultrafine. I don’t recommend 4k because it doesn’t have scale correctly.
@@Davidmccombs Thanks for the reply💐💐
"video editing" for some is just cutting and pasting some clips together.
for others - its a lot of effects that kill a "low spec" device.
tried rendering a project - it crashed.
Maybe I’m not doing enough but I’m usually running multiple timelines with color correction, audio changes a few other text and transitions.

That’s great. I say go for it. The iPhone 13 is more than capable. Just make sure you have a lot of indirect light.
is it still worth it in mid-2024?
For sure!

m1 air is bad for me, even i was doing the same job for the last 3 years, mobile development, but my air feel much slower than it used to be
Try reformatting. It will speed up you don’t want to feel the hardcore because it will start using the memory.
I think, you should open a new TH-cam Channel. 😊😊
Why is that?
try to show the laptop rather than a talking head. Makes it more engaging for viewers.
Thank you for this! I will get an M1 in a few months.
Glad I could help!
