Watching this on my M1 Macbook Air that I haven't charged in 3 days
we love to see it
Damn that’s a flex love it
rocking in the same boat
what are you doing on your macbook? are you just using it for surfing the web or are you a developer?
I'm watching on mine and I haven't charged in 4 days...
I´m 38 and a Windows user for 25 years. Got a MB Pro M1 from our company to test for 2 weeks and I was blown away so I ordered a 16GB MBP with 512GB myself and cant wait to get it on tuesday. As much as I like Windows Laptops and I will still continue to use them for work, it´s the first time in my life I will own a Mac and i Think it´s one of the smartest IT decisions I made in the last years.
you might regret this since the next 16 inch MBP will be coming out in the fall. current 16 inch still has the old intel chip. next 16 inch will have next gen M chip.
@@icy_ajay he said he got the 16gb macbook pro, not the 16inch
@@icy_ajay he never said 16”
@@icy_ajay bigger doesnt always mean better
Buddy, you might regret your purchase... These things use the SSD's for virtual ram and 16GB is really not that great, even with the hardware optimizations. People who are using their mac's for work are reporting extremely high wear rates on the SSDs. Some people are reporting up to 10-13% SSD usage in just 2 months.... that's abysmal for any computer, especially computers with un-swappable ram or storage.
Anyway, you're way past your return date now, so hopefully your work IT job doesn't require your computer to do any "heavy lifting".
I'm not just a Windows user, but a Windows developer. I've been one for decades. For almost all of that time, Windows machines were a better value. That's no longer true, at least for now. Two days ago, I picked up an entry level M1 MacBook Air for $850. It's the best value out there right now. I'm still a Windows developer, but I've loaded up all the dev tools on the MacBook, and now I'm dipping my toes into MacOS development.
How did you get it for $850 ?
@@dasharathramreddy850 You can get that price right now at the larger online and big box retailers.
U can get it for 800 at Costco
It’s so rare to hear a Mac is a good value. But the M1 is so impressive! Can’t wait for that M1X!
No it’s not rare to hear that mac’s are good
The M1 destroys anything I've tried from Windows. I have the Macbook Air M1. I recently bought a desktop from HP with 16G ram and an 10th gen i5 and I LOL at the difference.
@@xdanoxmous735 good value? That’s rare, but good quality? Definitely. They aren’t bad laptops, usually just bad for the price. But the M1 MacBooks are crazy good value.

@@martinsauer4854 nintendo still does it with pretty bad hardware lol :D
@@martinsauer4854 The thing is is you buy an android phone it becomes outdated in 1-3 years, not because of hardware but because of the software which doesn't continue to update. At that point you either root your device and install an alternative android-based OS that the community keeps up to date (and not everybody is able to do that), or you have a device that continuously becomes more and more unsafe without updates. Have fun thinking about doing your banking etc. with that. With Apple phones it's at least 5 years.
You're right, the hardware is never the problem. This is artificially created obsolescence by software.
@@melobit6137 nintendo is truly an enigma in gaming
I had a Samsung Galaxy Book with the 8cx chip and I snagged a mint open box M1 MacBook Air at BB for $650 open box mint. I figured if I didn’t like it I could easily flip it and make money. Holy shit, after learning how to Mac this thing is insane.

I decided to get Macbook pro M1 a week ago, and it was my first Mac (and Apple product ever). I'm still amazed everyday 😂.
What is the difference between M1 and the Intel I think of 2020 Air? Thinking of getting one myself
@@bartholomewlyons The M1 is much faster and has better battery life. It's also fanless, while the Intel version runs hot and overheats even with a fan. I would highly recommend the M1 Air over the Intel version.
@@nicholasfu5937 is it proven and stood the test of time yet? I am worried the M1 is just new and may start showing issues soon
@@bartholomewlyons have been a couple of issues reported like if you connect cheap hubs it dies and that people are worried about the wear on ssd. I have mine for over a week and can see that this thing is going to last.
Well for programmers and developers it's actually better to use the Intel stuff because of bootcamp, that way you can use windows programs on your Mac, this is not possible with M1 chips

@Joseph Valdez According to who, you?! I disagree
@Joseph Valdez Yes sir I'm glad you do not want to argue I wish there were more people like you in the world. I have nothing against Mac and I'm not basing my answer solely off of performance or speed. Please reread my original comment, I was very detailed on what I disliked and why myself and many other people don't own a Mac. It's a beautiful machine and it's fast but the OS X operating system is not for me.
I just found your channel and it's AMAZING. Thanks!
I love how Dave's reviews are so out of the box from the rest of the reviewers. Instead of throwing spec sheets, numbers, datas and what not he always gives insights like no other reviewers does. Awesome 👍
Children always love storytime...lol
*stares at LTT*
Yes. Specs only get you so far and a LOT of reviews fail to mention that Macs almost always do the user-facing components the best - touchpad, speakers, keyboard, display - and at this price, you just don't get all of that in one package from a Windows laptop.
@@Cobalt985 sorry gotta disagree with you there, I've seen a bunch of reviews that mention how good the build quality and features are, apple have been quite consistent when it comes to having a good display, touchpad and speakers.

I never thought I’d want a MacBook Air over a pro...
I'd still wait for the MacBook Pro. I'm sure whenever they refresh the Macbook pro lineup with M1 chips that they'll be better.
@@faisalsalam4161 theyll be better but wont be that far off the Air and the price too , so the Air looks to be the perfect choice
@@slayer_san9114 really depends who you are to be honest. If you need better performance like if you're a video editor like myself I'm sure the macbook pro will still be significantly better and worth the premium.
I ended up getting a pro for only $50 more than the Air that I was planning on getting. For that difference in price the pro was a no brainer. Brighter screen, better battery life, extra GPU core, and the fan is there if you need to do any longer processor/gpu load tasks. Don't love the touchbar but it's not a deal breaker. I wouldn't say it's worth the normal $300 price difference but if you can find a deal it's definitely worth it.
@@faisalsalam4161 the only pro the MacBook Pro has over the air is the fan cooling and the Touch Bar ID. But for $300 more is that worth the dedicated support?
When Dave said "For most people that are interested in picking up a gram...", I momentarily thought he was talking about drugs lmao

I’ve been using Windows my whole life. I just recently bought a M1 MacBook pro and I am speechless. The reliability and efficiency is immense. Sure there are a few things to get used to which will come with time but even so, I’m always so excited to use my MacBook

What a time to be alive
The reason my next computer will be a Mac is because there isn't going to be a response. Windows and Intel have stopped innovating and will go the way of IBM.
@@mrscreamer379 stop the cap bro. Intel has been hard at work at 7nm, and now that pat gelsinger is the CEO things are going a lot well. They're literally building 20 billion dollar fabs in the USA to catch up with demand. I don't wanna hear stuff from the bob Swan era because he was a crappy CEO that screwed over Intel
@@zen608 Intel and Microsoft have pursued the wrong technology. x86 is not power efficient enough for the mobile era. They completely mucked up the intel atom. They are now looking to do a bigLittle Intel chip and find themselves 15 years behind ARM. And even if they get that right, the reason Apple is so competitive is because they make the silicon specifically for the software. Intel still plan on making generic chips. If Intel don't have their own OS in the next few years ... they'll exit silicon and focus on services instead having been blown away by the competition. Also, I need a computer this year. Not in 5 years time when/if Intel get their act together.

New to the channel and am amazed at the brutal honesty of his compelling argument. In 1899, people here in the States were polled on the future of transportation and most stated either: A) More railways & B) Faster horses. Not many people saw the mechanical motor/cars being part of that future. I feel that we are at a similar precipice where we've all being boxed in with AMD/Intel/Nvidia sandbox and haven't considered that we are at a place of stagnation. Apple seems to be breaking that stagnation. Let's see where this ride takes us.......
Ravi Peiris M.D.
What a laughably pretentious post.
M1 Macs are not to x86 Windows PCs what automobiles were to horses. That's beyond hyperbole. Apple is leading the transition from CISC to RISC. It's a significant but not revolutionary improvement. The Windows ecosystem will probably follow right behind. And, Nvidia will be one of the leaders in the transition, assuming its purchase of ARM closes.
The States would have been amazing to live in for everyone if they had more railway lines for city travel. SMH.

Apple user usually try to buy blinker fluid, and Apple knows it. Enjoy the apparent faster CPU, while still having everything soldered to the board.
@@ade9597 there is an appeal to everything working within the Apple ecosystem and having everything soldered to the board makes the package smaller, cheaper, and lighter. I use exclusively windows, but you have to hand it over to apple for verticalizing their entire device system from the processor to the os to the device hardware itself it is very impressive. I like apple for that, but I do, however like the power to the performance of a windows laptop for gaming because I like that kind of stuff, but if you are looking for something that just works, apple is the right thing for you and the m1 has benefits like battery life like days of use, the power to do some creative work, and the silence to not annoy the person next to you or the people next to you in the Starbucks you are working in while sipping a latte working on that paper you had to get done yesterday in highschool or college

Coming from someone who's been using Macs since they practically came out.

bro 4:38 dave is so upfront i love it, product aint come out yet and he said fuck it get the mac instead
This was me one month ago. 40 years of Commodore (C64, C128d and Amiga) and PC computers. My 6 month Asus Zenbook (1500 usd) started to feel laggy and I did the unthinkable and bought a MacBook Air M1. I thought I was a Windows user who couldn’t switch to MacOS but since most of my work stuff is cloud based it was really easy. It’s shocking how good the M1 Air is, considering it’s fanless and totally silent.
That final laugh is the reason I love Dave videos.

I went from a Mac air from 2014 to a M1 Mac Pro... daaaamn the difference is insane ! Best upgrade feeling ever honestly !
My 2014 retina MBP’s LCD panel got cracked a few days ago so I went ahead and ordered an M1 MacBook Air.. good to know I’ll see a big difference!
Man, the fact that You moved from 2014 Mac says a lot... Just bought MacBook Air M1, and this is the thing that impacted my decision the most- I saw a lot of people that have same MacBook for many years and have no problems with the laptop. Haven't seen that for Windows users.
The fact that current MacBook has great quality to value relation is one thing. The argument that it has a longer lifespan is a huge deal as well.
@@radekpiwowar274 Apple makes best tech product. Same goes for their iPhones and I'm excited for the iPhone 13 and next gen SE phone which will be extremely fast and completely destroy androids in battery and performance. :)
No shit? A 6 year old laptop is worse than a laptop made in 2020? Who woulda thought!
@@radekpiwowar274 I've never seen anyone who hasn't used their Windows laptops for 5 yrs atleast no matter how low cost it is.
Can’t wait for that M1X! Macbooks have been tough to consider buying for a long time. Nice to see a change!
It's a tough call for me. The most heavy work I foresee doing is music recording, likely through Logic, potentially recording multiple tracks simultaneously with multiple plug-ins and such. I just don't want to run into a situation where I run out of power or things start getting choppy. I really have no idea if this type of workload is more or less than mild-moderate 4k video editing. Either way, I want to see what M1X will offer and for what price. I debate Air, M1X 14", or wait even longer for the new Air.
Dave thank you for your stellar reviews and recommendations! I’d be lost without you man.

I’m probably going to pick up the next iteration with the port and design improvements. Been sticking it out with my older 2013 MBP but ready to upgrade.
Some people are jumping already because the devices will keep good resell value. Personally I don't think that's a bad idea since you don't know when the new iterations will come out and what the pricing will be. Good luck.
Same here. They’re supposed to come out in summer.
Ha! I bought a totally maxed-out Intel MacBook Pro last year...a month or two later the M1 version appeared... I could have kicked myself....
Yo same! But hanging on with my late 2012 MBP
That was a very thought out and constructed comparison of Windows and Apple
Great video, considering a Mac for once.
“Apple gaming, *grunts* yea no” best part of the video 😂
Well he has to throw the apple haters a bone with all that apple praise for most of the video.
Is it really that bad? 😅
That might change with M1X.
Good luck buying one high gaming videocard, it will cost you more than 2 macbooks air.
@@makasete30 exactly this, underrated comment. It looked exactly like something to appease the haters.
M1 Air user here. Been getting almost 20 hours of use on a single charge on light to medium use.
How do you do that? I have been getting 10hours top, for zoom, chrome and videos on TH-cam. (very little idle time in between tho). I believe chrome has been sucking lots of energy maybe).
shitty hp user here, lasts for 10mins
@@Miguel-mv5yc dont use chrome, use duckduckgo and safari instead
@@gktte2574 unfortunately some websites that I use only work on chrome. That's the only reason I don't use safari all the time.
@@Miguel-mv5yc ahh I see,
He will continue to be my favorite reviewer, you can see how uncomfortable it is to say that, as if there is this ethical unbiased code he believes that he shouldn't take sides
Great review!
Dave: Apple Laser keyboards
Apple: Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!

Dave: (Casually shows off a laptop that hasn't hit the market yet)
And make it to ingnored when released (because of this m1 mac)
and refers to it in PAST TENSE
I've had my M1 MacBook Pro since early December and I've been LOVING it.
I want to take for coding and casual games, is it good
Useful recommendation. Thanks
I don’t know why this video was recommended to me but this dude’s voice is so soothing it’s almost like ASMR
ASMR?
huh??
He could sell anything over 1000$
no
lol
I almost had a heart attack. So this is the one I bought last year. I thought they release a new one already.
Eh, you'll only ever have the newest device for 12 months at most. I wouldn't stress about such stuff.
i mean its still pretty darn good soo
New ones are coming in months so...
@Henry Bushell yes I am Henry, cause thats the only way of knowing what I said
@Henry Bushell Relax, it's based on rumours from a source that is right most of the time.
Loved the snort at the end, it's so unlike Dave haha.
Just bought an MB pro entry spec.... and... I am sold, blown away and inlove. Just love the look and feel of it. And yes I also my love my touch bar.
That Apple gaming laugh at the end 😂😂
the Apple, gaming snort had me rolling on the floor.
is apple that bad for gaming
@@JATIN-cm1gf you can’t game for shit on macOS lmao. Even the mac pro is dumpster in comparison to a $2k PC
@@JATIN-cm1gf yeah, it kinda is.
@@ansharora6384 😐 damn
How do macs hold up in other gpu intensive tasks tho?
i really miss the old time when you used to just spin and balanced the laptop on your finger.. why are you not doing it anymoreeee!!!
maybe he dropped a super expensive prototype device once lol
@@tysoflowin that's Linus's job
Just got one and I’m loving it
I've been with Microsoft since DOS, but 4 years ago I realized everyone I knew that switched to Apple never came back. I tried out an Apple for a few weeks and no longer own anything with Windows in it. Yeah, it was amazing back then and has become more "thing different" , and "be different" is good :)
I sold my windows 11 gaming laptop, and going with M2 Air, 16g, 1th laptop in about 2 weeks. Will be my 1st Mac, and so excited. Between productivity and light gaming (GeForce Now), think I might have found my harmony and dream computer...Time will tell, and will leave a video review soon.
Will be interesting to hear how it all goes.🤠
Poor Dave. Called a lover and hater in in an Apple video lol.
Hey dave, one thing that you might want to consider is the bootcamp option on the m1 mac to still have the windows feel whilst still having an apple.
I've always been a pretty heavy Windows user but occasionally dabbled with a Mac just for grins (but it's been many years). Just picked up a base model MBA to play with as an alternative to a new Surface, expecting to return it within 14 days, but I think I'll keep it despite the occasional showstopper Mac issues (we produce TV graphics for live sports using Ross Xpression...Windows only!). This is just such a nice little unit, and the OS has so many nice little features. Absolutely CRAZY that here in Canada this little gem is priced the same as a mid-tier iphone 12/13.
bought m1 air on Dave's initial review. literally the best bang for the buck ever
highly recommend it
but can you install linux on it ?
@@Moskito844 no
@@Moskito844 Maybe, I'm not sure but its is definitely powerful enough to run it
@@atharva8080 i think its more like about compatibility than power.
No thanks, Legion 5 have a better value.
Similar price, wins at everything except on screen resolution and battery life.
“If they make laser keyboards and stuff you don’t like” 😂
It’s coming. They will do keyless keyboards soon. An entire surface of touchpad nothing else. Will demolish sales hopefully
@@zeus1117 why are you hoping this would happen? Not trying to be rude just curious
He used the same example in another video lol
@Ana Lias God, I love the MacBooks, but the fucking touchbar shit needs to go bro
@@GongChaLover personally I kinda like the touchbar but IMO it should always stay as an option when buyinh
Thank you very well put.
Watching this on my Macbook M1 Air which I got yesterday, haven't charged since then.
I swear to God . I dunno why your videos are always so relevant on the right time . Like i may not even find a reddit post close to what I want to know but I can get a full video from you about EXACTLY what I'm trying to find out .thanks Dave
Maybe he pro?
