Im buying the M3 Air, have the M1 Pro. Very cool to see the M3 Air does the work better than my "old" M1 Pro. Nice comparison! Thats exactly what i needed. Chat GPT leaded me here.
Okay, even if this is supposed to be a real live test, this is not a fair testing method. The iMovie on the MacBook Pro also loaded/opened a video project. Also, you haven’t confirmed whether both computers are running the latest OS. They are not connected to a power adapter, so we don't know the battery status of the machines, etc
Part of what you're experiencing is thermal throttling in the air. It's faster at everything but it has to lower the speed as it progresses in the testing.
Great video. Love my M3 Air. The 15” Air you used does have a 10 core GPU vs 8 on the pro so I would expect the newer chip with more cores to score better
you’re comparing the air to the 13 inch MacBook Pro that essentially uses the same chip as the M1air. I thought you were going to compare the actual M1 pro chip.
i have the MacBook Air m3 10 cores 16gb, its now very good but if comes the m4 out than I don't buy the m4 MacBook Air m1 is also good, like m2 also good, apple comes every year with a new M versions peoples don't know. what he want buying, I can say to you buy one MacBook and use it for 10 years and than buy a. new one MacBook maybe m10
great Idea but the first two tests are flawed because you will inherintly press one button faster than another so just stick to rendering and seeing how fast the computer does it without trying to start them at the same time cause theres no way you can press at the exact same time.
Nice video! I came here while considering if it is time to upgrade. I will definitely stick with my M1 Pro until December and then see what Apple Intelligence does. That could be a good video comparison to do when AI releases.
Pro M1 - 120Hz, 16 gigs, 1000 nits bright. M3 Air - 60Hz, 500 nits of brightness, and with 16 gigs price higher then M1 😉 Difference between M1 Pro and M3 = minimum !
Only TH-camr that has the comparison I been looking for
I have been looking for this comparison. Thanks allot for helping me to make a decision. Definitely going for m1 pro 2020 still a beast❤️
Glad I could help!

The reason that the Pro finished first in some tasks/tests, is it has fans, Airs do not. So heat is usually going to be a factor in speed.

I really wanted to see this!
Specs for comparison would have been nice and made this more relevant.
Did both computers have the same amount of RAM?

Totally agree
8:24 the macbook seems to be loaded with stuff.
In 2024, which is better: a new MacBook Air M3 15-inch 16gb ram ($1450) or a used MacBook Pro M1 16-inch 16gb ram ($1200)?
M1 Pro > M3 > M1
@@jdgonelli he wasnt writing MacBook Pro M1 Pro. He was askingfor air m3 vs macbook pro m1

Pro has actual cooling so performance would be very different
its good, i needed this comparison!
Yes brother...I need comparison between m1pro vs m3
M1pro 16inch still boss
So overall we can say M1 is still giving tough competition to M3 I just love Apple products for this reason
Well said!
post the specs, yo
YOu completely left out specs! this is a waste of time! how much ram, how many cores?
The M1 pro is a 13 or 14 inch?
M1 Pro in this vídeo is 13 inch. The M3 Air is 15 inch.
Bro use the pro chip

If you don't know how to properly benchmark a computer, then learn before making an inaccurate video.

Thanks for sharing
Please do apple-apple comparison, not apple-orange.
Seeing the difference is Apple at its best. Almost none.
Pro M1 - 120Hz, 16 gigs, 1000 nits bright.
M3 Air - 60Hz, 500 nits of brightness, and with 16 gigs price higher then M1 😉
Difference between M1 Pro and M3 = minimum !
Which one is better M1 Pro 16 or MacBook Air 15 M3/M4? Did you use 16GB ram on the MacBook Air too?
The macbook pro in this video has a 60hz screen.
