I agree with you! I bought MacBook Air 13 inch and had to return it because it's just too small and so i got the MacBook Air 15 inch instead. I noticed a huge difference when it comes to its sound. I'm glad I changed my mind. The size of 15 inch is what I needed and the great sound it produce is just a PLUS! I really love the sound from my 15 inch compared to air 13 inch!
I went to best buy looking for the 15” Air however, when i saw the 13” and hold it in hands, catches my full attention. I was looking for a portable macbook, the screen size of the 15” is amazing but for my personal needs the 13” is more portable and light. Im a salesperson that walks a lot customer to customer. If you are looking for a macbook portable go for the 13” everything else I recommend the 15”.
Ive had my MacBook Air for about 8 months, now. When researching it, I made sure I got the fifteen inch, along with the 512GB SSD. I ordered it with 8GB ram - a bit risky I know, but I was on a tight budget being a pensioner, and didnt want to risk the 256GB model. With the ram though, I was a bit worried at first to be honest. I didnt need to, though, as it sails through everything ive thrown at it, including Resident Evil 4 and Adobe Premiere & Photoshop, etc etc. Okay, it may take 2.381 or whatever seconds longer, but ive been around for a century and a half, so it really isnt an issue. Im delighted with it, and am seriously thinking about getting an M3 Air, but with 24GB ram and 2TB hard drive. This will probably be my last new machine, so it will be something to look after me as I lost my partner at the start of the year. Cant wait to get it!
I bought my daughter the 15 inch..because of her music. It's her graduation present. It's what she wanted..I hope it was a good choice. I was thinking of Alienware.
That is so sweet I also remember my dad brought me my first laptop during graduation, we didn't have a lot of money but it was something I still remember a lot.
Did you also keep the 16 M1 Pro? I also have an M1 16 pro which I love mostly because of the perfect screen and speakers, but I am thinking of buying also a 13 air just to carry easily during the week as I have a lot of outside appoiments
Having used larger displays (15in and 16in Pros) in recent years, I decided to try the small 13in Air. It's really cool. Very light and thin. I wasn't sure I'd keep it, but I think I will. it will be my traveling Mac and my 14in Pro and other Pros will be my at home workstations. thank you again. Best!
Thank you so much! That helped me with my choice! Because i work on Logic pro 90% of the time and use my laptop i would say almost only at home, i choose the 15 inch! I was using logic pro on my ipad pro 11 inch which i selled to my brother. I mainly produce in my bed or couch and only carry it with me at home. So regardless of 13 or 15 inch, both would be an upgrade because my 11 inch ipad was way too small for logic pro, but i think because of the bigger screen and the better speakers and because i nearly never travel with it, the 15 inch mac book is the better choice for me! ☺️👌🏼 Thank you so much! 🙏🏽 I hope it was the right choice! 😬🤷🏽
What if you are a Lecturer and do not care much for video editing or music, but only need it to create lecture notes in PowerPoint slides and for researching and writing academic books/journals? Would the 13-inch suffice?
If you're looking to save money, look into the M2 Air for your needs. 13-inch is definitely enough. I would consider getting a MacBook Air with 16GB of RAM though for longevity.

Should i go with the 15 inch or the 13, please help and also tell me should i go with the purchase or keep using the ipad 😅
In basic comparison: iPad Pro 11inch vs MacBook air 13inch is the MacBook clear winner. Especially the battery life of new iPads Pro is disaster. I bought the 13inch version(basic specc), and sold it because it consumed 3 precent of battery per day even I did not touch it either! And a top of it all: everything was turned off: no animations/no gfx/no email incremental push ups, etc. ... with really very good wifi access at home. even iPad Pro M4 is monstrously powerfull device for the proffesional gfx work I cannot recommend it. It is aimed for the outdoor, or mobile work and if you burden it with heavy duty work on gfx basis it will deplete the battery in very short time.
I am a person who does not hold much in one place. I like to move around even inside the house. Will the 15" be too large to affect this thing? Is it comfortable to use it when u place it on your lap while you are on bed for example, or will it be large and too big?

a 15" laptop almost always fits in a standard school backpack, unless your bag is really small then it won't fit. But if it is standard book size, you will be fine.
I have some trouble choosing as I tend to move in and out a lot with the mac so 13 inch would seem the better choice but I dont have a set up with a monitor and there are times when I need to have a lot of things open at the same time and the 13 inch seems to have a very small screen for like 4 apps at the same time.

I have to get myself a new one for college coming soon idk which one is better but this video helped so thanks but I still don’t know what I want any suggestions
Such a waste of space around the keyboard for the 15". Apple should have placed the speakers as front firing ones like the old M1. And it is just weird with such a big trackpad with the 15".
Thank you very much for the video! I want to buy my first Mac, I want to use it mainly for desktop (I spend 99% of the time at home), but I would also like to be able to take it with me in case I have to travel one day to another city or country, or also in case the power goes out, I don't know whether to buy a Mac Mini m2 pro, the MacBook Air 13, the 15 (16 ram and 512 ssd both) or save more and go for the MacBook Pro m3 pro 14 inch, I would only use it as a work computer as a web and mobile developer, since my main one is a windows laptop with an i9, what would you recommend?
If this will be your only Mac at home and for travel, you should save up for the M3 Pro! By the time you're ready to buy, there might be an M4 Pro by then which will then lower the price of M2 Pro! I had the 14-inch M3 Pro and it was amazing for desktop and mobile work. But I do love these Airs since they're soooo light (even the 15-inch)
I’m going into college later this fall as a freshman and really I only plan to use a new laptop for school use only. Would you recommend the MacBook Air 13 M2 or M3?
If you can get the M2 with 512GB SSD for a really good price go for that. Otherwise, go for M3. Would highly recommend upgrading specs cause base is just not enough to get you through college. I’m sure you’ll have multiple tabs, windows etc open. 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD is the key!
@@HeyMarkL thanks for the reply, also let’s say I were to get the 8GB ram to start off with can I always upgrade to the 16 GB Ram and 512 SSD online on the same laptop?
@@elxctrogg1002 Unfortunately you cannot upgrade RAM or SSD on a MacBook however, you can always get an external SSD, So I recommend that you buy the extra RAM.
which should i get? I can get the 13 inch and airpod pros 1st gen or get just the 15 inch or just get the 14 inch macbook PRO. All 3 options would come out to the same price and would all come with 500 gb storage and 16-18 gb of ram.
By travel a lot, you mean office to house ?? I have a windows desktop at home and I want a laptop for Photoediting in Lightroom Classic. It's gonna be a daily lug around laptop so that I can finish my photo edits whenever and where ever .. Is the 13 preferable for this scenario ??
No, I flew 37 times and over 80,000 miles last year 😅 - I think 13” is more than enough to edit photos in Lightroom. My only suggestion for Lightroom or any content creation is to configure your laptop with more RAM. 16GB should be okay, but if you can do 24GB. This would last you for years and won’t have to upgrade for another 4-5 years.
Ok I do have a ps5 and enjoy play AAA games on it BUT you just can’t play games like world of Warcraft, total war on ps5 and even games like cities skylines are so much better playing with a laptop… and by the way pc windows machines are not an option, so MacBooks are great for gaming depend on your demand

@@bryanmz05 no should have just got a MBP with 18GB. But arguably, RAM is king, more performance, less swap. So 24GB is the fastest it will ever be. It’s just the MBP is significantly better and faster in every way.
"so by the time you’ve upgraded to at least 16 and 512, you might as well get the pro" well not really, where I live, for the price of an air m3 16/512, I can only buy a pro 8/512, and it seems to me that 8gb of ram in such a laptop is not enough, and the 16/512 version costs $500 more
@@squatch4517 RAM and SSD upgrade costs are the same on both machines, so you still have parity and it still means the MBA isn’t worth it, nor does it have the same power. Therefore value prop statement is the same. MBA makes no sense at all. If it was 1k for 16/512, fair enough, but it’s not, that’s $1600 with tax vs $2000 Always get the MBP..

By travel a lot, you mean office to house ?? I have a windows desktop at home and I want a laptop for Photoediting in Lightroom Classic. It's gonna be a daily lug around laptop so that I can finish my photo edits whenever and where ever .. Is the 13 preferable for this scenario ??
No, I flew 37 times and over 80,000 miles last year 😅 - I think 13” is more than enough to edit photos in Lightroom. My only suggestion for Lightroom or any content creation is to configure your laptop with more RAM. 16GB should be okay, but if you can do 24GB. This would last you for years and won’t have to upgrade for another 4-5 years.
13 is best if it comes out of the house. Otherwise 15-inch is awesome!
The skin on you macbook is sickkkk at 9:20 … can I kno where you got it from?
Dbrand
Links to the wallpapers please mate?
what's up with 60Hz refresh rate, such nice laptops with sluggish refresh rate.
120hz is strictly restricted to pro models, that's one of the most important factors that make pro, well pro ;D
13.6-inch M3 Air for adults 5'8 or shorter.
Also, who games on a Mac?!? Just get a console (PS5 preferably) and game after work or on the weekends.
Ok I do have a ps5 and enjoy play AAA games on it BUT you just can’t play games like world of Warcraft, total war on ps5 and even games like cities skylines are so much better playing with a laptop… and by the way pc windows machines are not an option, so MacBooks are great for gaming depend on your demand
Hi there bud need to ask something I’m been trying to buy a Mac book for editing and that will last me long time what would you recommend also the pro its a lot of money but let me know thanks mate
For video editing… you can buy used or refurbished M1 Pro or M2 Pro MacBook Pro. As long as it has 16GB RAM and minimum 512GB SSD you’ll be good.
@@HeyMarkL thanks they little pricey I’m probably gonna drop the $2000 on the m3 pro with 18ram and 512gb
@@HeyMarkL I’m back I got another question would you recommend Macmini pro m2 ?
@@Garaneru I got a Mac Mini M2 with 32GB of ram and a 1 TB drive off of the Apple Refurbished store for $1000, it’s been rock solid. I just recently added an 15” M3 Air for travel, but I can’t recommend the Mini enough, great machine!
@@DerekRobinsonTech Dam haha well I got the MacBook Pro m3 and I’ll say I love it no regrets on buying it
Apple, please stop giving us choices!
its tiring and kind of too many already, unless i heard interesting one i wont write anything else
If am I looking for Photoshop stuff, word, excel, lots of movies nights and tv shows and some games, do u recommend me 16 gb ram version of MB air 15? And is it possible live with extra disc?
16GB is totally fine for what you're looking for. You can always get an external SSD if your internal hard drive is running low :)
I bought a MBA13 24GB/1TB, massive mistake, I should have got a MBP 14. The machine as just not anywhere close to the MBP. 8GB is not enough, so by the time you’ve upgraded to at least 16 and 512, you might as well get the pro
Don’t buy
shoudlve gotten 16gb on the M3
@@bryanmz05 no should have just got a MBP with 18GB. But arguably, RAM is king, more performance, less swap. So 24GB is the fastest it will ever be. It’s just the MBP is significantly better and faster in every way.
"so by the time you’ve upgraded to at least 16 and 512, you might as well get the pro" well not really, where I live, for the price of an air m3 16/512, I can only buy a pro 8/512, and it seems to me that 8gb of ram in such a laptop is not enough, and the 16/512 version costs $500 more
@@squatch4517 RAM and SSD upgrade costs are the same on both machines, so you still have parity and it still means the MBA isn’t worth it, nor does it have the same power. Therefore value prop statement is the same. MBA makes no sense at all. If it was 1k for 16/512, fair enough, but it’s not, that’s $1600 with tax vs $2000
Always get the MBP..
Why so much ram and storage space
15 inch all day long 👍🏻
is that true 15" so hot ??
It will get warm since it's fanless, but it's not too hot!
I do not play music on my laptop anymore.. A real entertainment unit sound much better
Has anybody played the sims 4 on this mac? xD how did it go?
those skins look REALLY bad
Should I get iPad Pro m4 or a MacBook Air m3
Mac
just can't agree more!🤩
That was the best video, thank you 🩷
