M1 is definitely a game changer... finally, something brave Apple. I've always had to have 16Gb of memory minimum over the last five years... running 8Gb of Ram on the M1... next level stuff and performs above 16Gb of RAM on an intel platform... still baffled after 20 years of gaming/computing experience.
Yo same lol, I was skeptical cause my PC has 32 gigs of DDR4 and I always fill it but I wasn't annoyed having 8 gigs at all on the Mac
Is m1 is that good? Im gonna move from my poor celeron lolll
@@tkg3me come back when u get it and let us know what u think about it !
Is it okay to buy 8gb for coding???
@Prime movies Ah, yes comparing ryzen 7 chip with Air which had a 2 cores I3 processor at this price. GENIUS.

Bought one last week and I'm pretty impressed. If you compare specs you're really missing a big part of the story. The trackpad, keyboard, weight, battery life and noise are all amazing.
I returned the Pro for the Air, and I love it. So much more ergonomic.
You returned the M1 Pro for the M1 Air? Interesting. How come?
@@victormutta1115 he literally just said it
I did too! So glad I did! Thought I would miss the larger screen. Worth the trade off for the portability (smaller and lighter). Can have a larger monitor if you need for not much $.
@@aubry980 Ergonomic, how though? Better keyboard? The wedge design? Some kind of difference in the trackpad?
I returned my M1 air for the M1 pro lmao it still runs hot even on Apple Arcade
Why am I watching this on the M1 MacBook Air?

When I start working on my intel school Mac, my room goes up 1 degree by the end of the day😂
I use my desktop to actually heat the room ... don't need to start the heater so it's not bad in winter.

I expect it as 1 Celsius up.
then your heating bill should be cheaper!! lol

Man, awesome editing skills. There might be things I don't even notice but those Gary to Gary conversations are hilarious with great sense of humor while showing likeable visual content.
Having recently gotten one (due in part to your positive reviews)I agree wholehearted with your endorsement. This macbook is awesome. Battery life is great to boot.
Is it bright? The pro is brighter and that's for some reason bothering me
STOP hyping me up for the MacBook Air!!! I can’t wait for my order to come home !
Me too!!!!! I can’t waiittttt!!!!! I watch MacBook videos ALL DAY! Good luck on yours!
Good luck too

Bought mine the 1st apple still hasn’t processed the payment. Status on the order is stuck in processing:/
@@iPropheci I wonder if it has to do on where I reside, it’s a little frustrating, I hope you payment gets processed so you get it ASAP, I’m excited
Ordered mine on the 22nd, coming around the 21st, I feel your pain.
Yeah but at least they give you a shipping time and you don't have to try and snag one before all the scalpers get them.
@@iPropheci bought mine the 27th. Still processing lol
“Hey Gary, He’s always grumpy when he edits” 😂 that clip was great and had me laughing!
The Everyday Dad is one of the best tech channels in TH-cam. Very aesthetically pleasing, very clear voice and presentation, technical but not overly technical. In other words, very understandable. Reviews that matter to most. You have the potential to be among the big leagues in YT. Continue the great work!!!
Just recently got the M1 Mac mini and it's outstanding, can't wait to see your video on it.
You had me at "You don't want to carry around a gigantic 16" one". Thanks for the hard work! Now if you can tell me where to find one in stock...
Check your local Best Buy, mine had them curbside pick-up
It's great to see that all the reviewers are really impressed with the Air. Great video, thanks.
Thank you. Literally thank you. This might be the best review of this laptop that I have ever seen, you covered everything that a regular *everyday* person would need and not the stuff that a pro user would need. I'm now 100% sure that I wanna buy this laptop.
The way he presents is excellent like mkbhd levels of presentation.
Noticeably better than most for sure
I just discovered both channels, production levels are 💯
Just bought the entry level Air, and I’m just loving it! Thanks for the review!🤗
You saved so much money and you can still upgrade the storage by getting an SSD!
Couldn't agree more. Battery life is amazing, plus, it runs super fast while on battery. Brilliant!
Just ordered the MBA M1 16gb ram and 512gb storage. As a Windows user for more than 12 years, I think it's time for an upgrade. Thanks for the detailed video dad
how is it going so far?
This was my first Mac and I completely agree with everything here.
I still have to get used to MacOS coming from Windows/Linux, but this machine is just completely insane, especially for the price.
How's it been for you?? I'm planning to buy one this year.
@@HSE_VO Still absolutely amazing. Would go with 16 GB ram though if you plan on using it for work
@@stuvius That's great! The heaviest tasks I'd use it for would be either 1080p video editing, or some gaming if I *really* get bored. Other than that it'll be for web browsing, audio editing, and photoshop work. Do you think I need 16 GB?
@@HSE_VO I think it would be worth the extra money for sure if you can afford it, but will still work even if you go for the base model
@@stuvius Thanks for letting me know! Enjoy your mac-ing experience haha
That cut scene with Gary was amazing well done lol
Hope Everyone Have A Great Day
Thanks you too!

It would be great to talk about the size of the M1 internal circuits (5nm) and how they are more efficient compared to Intel's (14nm). I bought an Acer Swift with the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U processor (7nm) and it's the fastest windows laptop I've own.
i miss when the apple logo would glow up
Same :(
Right
Waste of battery
@Tony Montana ikr It’s a beauty to look at, sure. But when you’re using it you will only look at the screen, not the back.
@@davidpritrezski5014 Actually doesn't waste battery. It glows from the LCD's light. If you put a cutout there now, you will see it glow the same way. It was a design choice to make it look more modern and less like a toy i guess. Also unifies all their apple logo to look the same in color across all products. Probably cuts cost somewhere too not having to laser cut every panel and add a transparent material that is not needed anywhere else on the laptop.
First of all congrats on 250k subs!!!, i was looking for some channels which reviewed the m1 mac and youtube and recommended yours, for the first time ever for me, youtube's recommendation was perfect. i really like your content. Keep shining and yaa i am buying the m1 MacBook air as u made the thinking part very easy for me, THANKS....
Keep shining
LOVE FROM INDIA....
Thanks so much!
Good job, love mine too. Power Tip... Use a larger watt charger (and the larger watt C-cable... yes, I just found out that they are different and if you use a low watt cable with a high watt charger, it will charge slower!), the 61W, - 87W, or a 3rd party and it will charge much faster than the 30 W brick/cable included.
👀 Thanks for the video and sharing your thoughts and perspective. I appreciate your honesty. You made many great points. Blessings on your day.
For anyone on the fence between 8 or 16gb RAM -- I just got a 16gb in after using the 8 for 2 weeks and I am glad I did just for the browsing experience. Both are 7 core 256. I like to have 12-15 tabs open all the time. I never close Safari or Brave. I noticed slowdown with the 8. That being said I don't do heavy lifting here and the 8 is great with a lot of other applications open I just noticed my tabs eating away hard at the RAM and causing pop-in when clicking a tab and minor hiccups switching between desktops or doing the spread view thing, but nothing major at all. You'll be happy either way this is a helluva good laptop.
15 Tabs...

I have bought the base model of M1 MacBook Air. I already have Nintendo switch and I don’t need turn my Mac to a gaming rig. I am pretty happy with Mac OS with this MacBook Air as my personal computer. This setup is pretty stable and crashing safe. I do everything outside of my work in my MacBook as long as there in no need to run industrial apps.
I purchased a base MacBook Air to hold me over until the 14" MacBook Pro releases. That's my dream laptop.
That's what I was thinking. The new base MBA is my first MacBook so it'll be a nice introduction to the MacBook family.
When are the 14” MacBooks releasing?
@@gavinaddison4899 I don't believe there's a confirmed date yet for the 14" MacBook pro. However, the expectation is it will arrive in Q2 or Q3 of 2021 along with the new 16" version. If you can wait until then I would, but if you want to try out the new Apple silicon the base MacBook Air is a nice option.
@@scheung14 leaks suggest that it’ll be released in Q1 2021
@@scheung14 is there going to be a 14” version of the MacBook Air? Also, would it make much of a difference to warrant waiting? I can purchase a 13” on this weekend with a 15% discount due my mother in law working at a store they sell them at. The discount is only available for this weekend...
The M1 has changed the game.
Apple owes you! You’re the very reason I’m buying this! And I know I’m not alone!
Just bought one and this video is making me super excited! I currently use an HP envy x360 and it-is-HOT... like surface of the sun hot... and battery life is bad... this macbook is gonna change my life. Can’t wait for monday!
Really enjoy your videos! Keep em coming! Cheers from 🇨🇦
Hi Gary. Base on your everyday work flow, do you find the need for the 16gb option? Do swap memory be an issue for the 8gb model? Thanks in advance.
0:19 lowkey held my breath when i thought he was going to pound that macbook air on the table.
Actually the second he posted this video I received a bell ring and it was the new m1 macbook air.. Edit that is the coincidence
Like magic!
Ok
@@TheEverydayDad yeah
did you get the 7 core or 8 core? how are you liking it so far?
Thank You!
I suggest you do a comparison between an Intel MacBook with 8GB of RAM versus the M1 with 8GB of RAM, no one has done that yet as far as I know and it would be a great comparison! So we could see how both of these chips perform in real word usage with the cheapest RAM configuration.
I really want one, but my Early 2011 13" MacBook Pro simply will not die, and for what I use it for I can't justify buying new. Nice review by the way.
I ordered the 16GB with 512GB MacBook Pro. I got the 8GB with 256GBB and return it because wanted to future proof it. Sadly couldn’t pay for more memory but I can get SSD so hope is fine.
Mine should be delivered this week. Upgraded the memory because i don’t like having to deal with the external drives. Can’t wait for this; my last laptop was a 2012 MBA and it is definitely ready to be replaced.
Great information I was dwelling on getting more memory but you’ve convinced me me to sons gave me the same advice thanks 👌
Love it, as always. Greetz from Cologne! ;-)
Hey man, you should do a comparison between the base model Macbook Air M1 and the base model Macbook Pro 13’ i5. That’s what most people on a budget are in between right now
awesome! I had an air years ago and it was basically a word processor/1 tab on the internet machine, but this seems awesome! I've watched a few other vids and I think I'm sold on it.
Thank you for the down to earth review! I'm a little simple when it comes to tech, so this was a lot more helpful than the tech guru folks, haha.
I bought one! 🤩
And is my first Mac (windows user my whole life)
And I love it 😍 I wanna marry it! 💙
Same! But I got the pro tho. Literally just ordered one and it’s gonna take 4 weeks to get here 😭
First ever MAC as well. Windows user my whole life
@@willypuihangwong8861 I must admit I’m too used to windows,so sometimes I get irritated by the logic of macOS 😅 But the M1 MacBook itself is so fast and awesome 🤩 I do not regret switching 💙🍎
@@Ka_T_ya Same! My partner always has Mac and whenever I use it, I get so frustrated! 🙄 Somehow after my DELL XPS broke down, I’m just excited for MacBook now, but I have to wait 4 weeks for it 😫
Anyway! Enjoy your new Mac! 😁
@@willypuihangwong8861 I replaced my dell xps for that Mac too 😀 ,my dell didnt broke tho, I just wanted to fully switch to Apple ecosystem.
Thanks! And I hope those 4 weeks go faster for you ,so you can enjoy yours too! 🤩
@@melo3427 cheapest . I got the base model M1 MBA and is beyond awesome .
I agree, just on the headline. I love my MBA M1! It’s just SO fast.
Thank you! This really helped me.
Nice scripting! I love the part where you appear on the monitor and talk to yourself (in the future). It had me bewildered. Which came first? The monitor or the armchair? The chicken or the egg? (I’ll never get to sleep tonight for thinking: HOW did he do that!)
Getting mine on Sunday!! 😁🥳 cant wait!!
Thats awesome!
I bought the M1 Macbook pro, love it !!!
Hello! Can it handle occasional photo editing in Lightroom? I have a desktop and would that for heavier work, but I would like to have the option to do some light editing while on vacation.
I had a question about the air though, would not having a fan in the system affect it's longevity? I have a late 2013 13" macbook and i'm thinking of switching but I'm not quite sure because of the fact that the air lacks a fan. My current mac makes a lot of noise but it lasted for a long time (7 yrs) and it still works. Would getting this macbook air with the m1 chip last me atleast 6 years? I want to use it for a long period of time...
Wow!!! I am so surprised Gary did not say “what?” In this video!!
It took a lot of effort not to 🤣
Waiting for this guy to like get 1 million subs and then just blow up so I get the privilege to say I was a there from wayyyy back.
Hey man, awesome video! I received mine 2 days ago and love it, only thing that threw me off was that I left it inside my carry bag last night and when I opened it this morning almost 80% of the battery had drained. Its really new with hardly any apps installed yet, only thing was that I use Chrome but the laptop was in sleep mode without wifi connected to it. Have you experienced something similar?
Awesome video, Greg!! Great work!! Just placed an order for one myself.... Instant sub!! :)
Just Incredible.... & Congratulations For Surpassing 250K+ yt Family Members Milestone.... Love From India 🇮🇳❤️
Thanks so much!
These computers also last! I bought my Mac Air in 2013 and it’s still going... it has slowed down but I run maintenance tasks regularly
can't wait to change my early 2015 macbook air for this one! thanks for the video its amazing and helped out a lot too!:)
Watching this on my new M1 Macbook Air (and very first Mac). It's an awesome piece of machinery 😎
Love my Air with the M1. Performance is very good. Runs Final Cut Pro / iMovie like it’s nothing. Battery life is amazing. I also like the size. Got mine when they had $100 off too so it was a good deal in my opinion. I am actually thinking of getting rid of my iMac which is a 27 inch with 32GB of RAM. The Air outperforms it.
I am planning to buy Macbook Air 8gb version. I am a casual video editor.. I will working mostly with 2 to 3 layer time line of 4k 30fbs footage for color correction and speed ramp etc. Can I do all these smoothly with this machine?
Im very on the edge of either getting the base model or spending the extra $150 to upgrade to 512gb and 8 core GPU. The GPU I wasn't too worried about as I don't necessarily will do things that'll test it. The main thing is that I want to get the 512gb as I plan on having this laptop for years and I think the extra $150 is a great deal for long term use.
Thank you for doing this and all your videos, no nonsense straight with an opinion, excellent 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much!
Can it handle daily 15 or 20 minute 4K edits and exports, as is or with 16gb?
Saving money and getting great features, can relate as a fellow dad!
Gotta keep within the budget and manage that thermostat!
still waiting for mine to arrive. can’t wait to upgrade from my 12” 2015 MacBook
oh mate thats gonna be a huge update:)
I'm interested in this computer to upgrade my 2011 MBP 13" with 4Gb RAM, just wondering if it's better to get 16Gb RAM to future proof it as mine now struggles even with more than a dozen Firefox tabs open, let alone photo or video editing lol !
So will the 16g cpu equate to better davinci resolve real-time rendering and playback? I sold my MBP 2017 because it wouldn’t scrub through asset layered timelines.
Does the new efficiency and unified memory solve this issue? I feel like the 16g only makes sense if there will be a notable improvement in its ability to process files faster
Dear Dad,
Can you please offer some advice on whether or not an upgrade from 8 to 16GB RAM is worth the upgrade price for a “normal” user? I feel like for $200 it’s probably worth it. But that little little voice in my head says it’s unnecessary.
Help!
which one did you get and how do you feel about it?
Got the 512gb model. I just love it. It’s the best laptop I could imagine for my university stuff plus my iPad for handwriting!
Did you just get the 8GB or RAM? I’m looking at also getting the 512GB with 8GB RAM. If you did get the 8GB, has it been enough? 😃
Edit***** 8GB or 16GB RAM?
How has been your experience with the battery life?
I was going to get bto 16/512, but we had 10% off for Black Friday and then another 5% price match beat at a competitor.. then 10% tax back. This was only available on in store models, so long story short..... very happy with my 8/256 m1 air, worked out really good value!
Just what I need to replace my mid-2012 which is on its last legs. For what I need it for (teaching/reports/light photo editing) this is perfect. Can’t wait to not lump my old mbp around
7:15 “You never get time back” Anxiety spike but also a very good point and valid reason to upgrade to an M1 Mac if you can afford it.
I’m coming from a 2012 mbp so excited to get mine!!!
I'm typing on an early 2011 mbp, and I get my mba M1 in 11 days. Very excited here also! I guess you already have yours, haha.
I’d like to ask about the blue mouse on your thumbnail for this video. Where can I get one?
Already did. Thanks for recommending.
I’ve been seeing videos early. I like it, TH-cam. Also, if I had the money i would have this thing already
Welcome to the early team!
Agree! The power is enough in the 8gb configuration 😊
Its very powerful.
Wow... I’m looking to buy a MacBook and have been considering this cause of... you guessed it.... price... but was afraid it might lack umph I need. I’m a casual user. Your video told me EVERYTHING I needed to know. I’m sold thank you cause I’ve been getting headaches trying to figure what to do... it’s 2021 so it may be even better. Thank you. I’ve subscribed...
I've been going back and forth between this and the 13" Pro (both with 16GB ram and 512 HD). I travel a lot and all my work is based around Office, I play WOW on my down time along with the usual web browsing and media consumption.
You need the extra power to play WOW.
Ordered mine back on the 22nd with 16gigs of RAM though. Can't wait for it! Too bad it takes about a month to ship :(
I ordered mine on the 26th and it shipped yesterday. It’s gonna be faster than I thought because they initially said it will arrive on DEC 30th but now they’re saying it will be here DEC 14th. Our computers are probably on the same truck now!!!
Ok enough about video editing performance since thats something common with youtubers. But How is the performance when using blender/maya for 3d rendering or animation?
Look up Created Labs channel, hes got some very good info
I'm really unsure about which macbook to get. Before the M1s came out I was set on buying the Pro since I might have to do editing in the future. Now I'm not so sure anymore. Is the fan really worth paying 300€ more? On the other hand I'm worried that thermal issues become a thing once more apps are optimized for the M1 chip and there'll be a higher working demand for the device as it ages. I just don't want to spend over 1000€ and regret it in a year and a half
Fantastic video. Much appreciated 🙏🏼
I’m getting one when there’s eventually stock.
I’m saving up for mine
Apple always has it in stock so what are you talking about
Yeah it’s always in stock in the base model, only if you want upgrades in storage or ram plus final cut pro or Logic Pro it’s shipped but I ordered one Thursday with 16gb ram and Final Cut Pro and it will be here March 16-23

love your video and your energy. first time here! Here's my sub
Not a single overhyped statement in this video - judging from my last 2 weeks with the M1 MBA this is the laptop to get!
Is it worth going up the next level? 8-core GPU and 512GB?
I’m still debating on getting either this or the the MacBook Pro 13 inch with m1 chip in Canada if you had to choose between paying $1,299.99 for the air or $1,699.99 for the pro which would you choose that’s the without adding the tax curious never had a MacBook before my windows 10 Hp died during the summer
