0:00:00.083,0:00:01.962
So I've been using the new MacBook Air

0:00:01.962,0:00:03.461
over the past week now.

0:00:03.461,0:00:06.066
I purposely bought the base model,

0:00:06.066,0:00:07.590
primarily because that's the model

0:00:07.590,0:00:08.883
that most people are going to buy.

0:00:08.883,0:00:11.178
I wanted to see what it would be switching to this

0:00:11.178,0:00:13.805
over my MacBook Pro,

0:00:13.805,0:00:16.975
which is here, the M4 Max MacBook Pro.

0:00:17.350,0:00:19.019
This might actually cost me

0:00:19.019,0:00:21.479
$4,000 over $4,000.

0:00:21.855,0:00:23.356
Yeah, this costs $1,000.

0:00:23.356,0:00:25.650
This has the M4 max chip in it

0:00:25.817,0:00:27.360
and it also has a 36

0:00:27.360,0:00:28.570
gigabytes of unified memory.

0:00:28.570,0:00:30.071
Big jump there between the two.

0:00:30.071,0:00:30.780
But I just wanted

0:00:30.780,0:00:32.449
to see what the M4 MacBook

0:00:32.449,0:00:32.991
Air would be like

0:00:32.991,0:00:34.325
and whether they could handle

0:00:34.325,0:00:35.660
most of my workload.

0:00:35.660,0:00:36.786
Considering this MacBook

0:00:36.786,0:00:38.329
Air is a fourth of the price,

0:00:38.329,0:00:40.540
it has been very interesting.

0:00:40.540,0:00:42.459
I also have the silver version here

0:00:42.459,0:00:44.127
now that the space grey has gone

0:00:44.127,0:00:45.462
and there is no space black.

0:00:45.462,0:00:46.963
I think the silver looks best.

0:00:46.963,0:00:47.589
And here's a shot

0:00:47.589,0:00:48.923
comparing the space, black space,

0:00:48.923,0:00:50.759
grey and silver for anyone interested.

0:00:50.759,0:00:52.510
What is surprising with this MacBook Pro

0:00:52.510,0:00:54.596
is that Apple have lowered the price.

0:00:54.846,0:00:56.014
Let me say that again.

0:00:56.014,0:00:58.266
Apple have lowered the price

0:00:58.266,0:01:00.351
of a product of a new product,

0:01:00.351,0:01:01.603
not something that Apple

0:01:01.603,0:01:02.812
are known for whatsoever.

0:01:02.812,0:01:04.981
And not only have they lowered the price,

0:01:04.981,0:01:05.815
they have also given

0:01:05.815,0:01:07.609
you more for the money.

0:01:07.609,0:01:08.860
You now have a 16

0:01:08.860,0:01:10.445
gigabytes of unified memory compared

0:01:10.445,0:01:12.405
to eight gigabytes in previous models.

0:01:12.405,0:01:13.865
The design itself is unchanged,

0:01:13.865,0:01:15.283
which I think is a good thing.

0:01:15.283,0:01:17.077
This form factor is the best.

0:01:17.077,0:01:17.952
It's super thin

0:01:17.952,0:01:20.455
light and fills grey always surprises me

0:01:20.455,0:01:22.957
how thin MacBook as all when I use them.

0:01:23.416,0:01:24.876
It makes it ideal for travelling.

0:01:24.876,0:01:26.961
Apple have completed now the design here.

0:01:27.212,0:01:28.838
I also much prefer the 13

0:01:28.838,0:01:30.465
inch size over the 15 inch size

0:01:30.465,0:01:31.216
and that is purely down

0:01:31.216,0:01:32.258
to personal preference.

0:01:32.258,0:01:34.302
I've always preferred smaller laptops.

0:01:34.302,0:01:34.928
I think to myself

0:01:34.928,0:01:36.096
it would be even better

0:01:36.096,0:01:37.305
if we saw 12 exposure.

0:01:37.305,0:01:38.640
But hey, 13 inches

0:01:38.640,0:01:39.766
I think is a great size.

0:01:39.766,0:01:41.893
The 15 inch model is also $200 more.

0:01:41.893,0:01:44.229
Now, I don't think it's worth $200 more,

0:01:44.437,0:01:46.940
but it does also have two more CPU cores.

0:01:46.940,0:01:48.608
And if you really want that 15 inch,

0:01:48.608,0:01:50.026
maybe it might be worth it for you.

0:01:50.026,0:01:50.527
Alongside

0:01:50.527,0:01:51.736
this MacBook have also been

0:01:51.736,0:01:53.196
using this new monitor from Oasis

0:01:53.196,0:01:54.864
who are also sponsoring this video.

0:01:54.864,0:01:55.865
When I first unboxed it,

0:01:55.865,0:01:57.200
I was actually really impressed

0:01:57.200,0:01:58.243
by the design of this thing.

0:01:58.243,0:01:59.619
It's not like other monitors.

0:01:59.619,0:02:00.161
You can tell.

0:02:00.161,0:02:02.080
I have spent time designing this monitor

0:02:02.080,0:02:03.581
and it looks fantastic.

0:02:03.581,0:02:04.499
The back in particular

0:02:04.499,0:02:05.500
just looks amazing.

0:02:05.500,0:02:06.793
It also comes with a great stand

0:02:06.793,0:02:07.961
that offers a ton of movement.

0:02:07.961,0:02:09.212
You have tilt height

0:02:09.212,0:02:10.755
and rotating options.

0:02:10.755,0:02:13.341
This is part of ISIS's pro art line up,

0:02:13.508,0:02:15.260
so they provide a bunch of colour

0:02:15.260,0:02:17.345
accuracy test shots in the box

0:02:17.345,0:02:19.264
to show that it's been thoroughly tested.

0:02:19.264,0:02:20.682
They specifically compared

0:02:20.682,0:02:21.850
to other much higher

0:02:21.850,0:02:23.476
end production monitors

0:02:23.476,0:02:25.019
which can be in the five figure

0:02:25.019,0:02:25.687
price range.

0:02:25.687,0:02:26.771
This isn't meant to be compared

0:02:26.771,0:02:28.022
to cheap monitors

0:02:28.022,0:02:28.565
due to how

0:02:28.565,0:02:30.525
it is designed for anyone who does

0:02:30.525,0:02:32.152
content creation, whether you're

0:02:32.152,0:02:33.945
a filmmaker, photographer,

0:02:33.945,0:02:36.072
3D artist or designer.

0:02:36.072,0:02:37.824
If you want super top notch

0:02:37.824,0:02:38.867
colour accuracy,

0:02:38.867,0:02:40.368
this is a monitor for it.

0:02:40.368,0:02:43.371
It's a 31.5 inch CUDA led monitor.

0:02:43.371,0:02:45.248
That's 4K and resolution,

0:02:45.248,0:02:47.500
and it also does up to 240 hugs.

0:02:47.834,0:02:48.585
And of course,

0:02:48.585,0:02:51.296
viewing any content on it is sublime.

0:02:51.462,0:02:53.131
Outlets have always been amazing

0:02:53.131,0:02:53.756
in this area.

0:02:53.756,0:02:55.466
It has Thunderbolt four built in

0:02:55.466,0:02:56.801
so you can connect a macbook

0:02:56.801,0:02:58.720
with one cable and daisy chain

0:02:58.720,0:03:00.305
other thunderbolt accessories

0:03:00.305,0:03:01.556
like another monitor.

0:03:01.556,0:03:03.016
The Thunderbolt Port also provides

0:03:03.016,0:03:04.726
up to 96 watts of power.

0:03:04.726,0:03:06.644
I was able to get 240 hours right

0:03:06.644,0:03:08.229
out of the box with the MacBook Air,

0:03:08.229,0:03:10.064
and it is buttery, smooth.

0:03:10.064,0:03:10.899
It's perfect for anyone

0:03:10.899,0:03:12.275
who is looking for a high quality

0:03:12.275,0:03:13.026
outlet monitor

0:03:13.026,0:03:13.693
for their Mac,

0:03:13.693,0:03:15.695
which also has amazing colour accuracy.

0:03:15.945,0:03:17.322
So make sure to check out a live link

0:03:17.322,0:03:18.656
to head down the description below.

0:03:18.656,0:03:19.324
This MacBook Air

0:03:19.324,0:03:21.159
also has the new M4 chip in it

0:03:21.159,0:03:23.203
and as most people will know,

0:03:23.411,0:03:25.413
the m-series of chips for Apple

0:03:25.413,0:03:27.332
have just been a revelation.

0:03:27.332,0:03:28.958
You get top notch performance

0:03:28.958,0:03:31.169
for a lot less power and a lot less heat,

0:03:31.461,0:03:32.795
so it's made

0:03:32.795,0:03:34.547
for some very powerful chips

0:03:34.547,0:03:36.966
that can go in very compact laptops.

0:03:36.966,0:03:38.551
This specifically has the base

0:03:38.551,0:03:40.386
here, AM4 chip, which has a ten core

0:03:40.386,0:03:42.472
CPU and a eight core CPU.

0:03:42.472,0:03:43.806
I've been using this machine

0:03:43.806,0:03:45.934
just like how I'd use my MacBook Pro.

0:03:45.934,0:03:47.644
I've not hidden anything away from it.

0:03:47.644,0:03:48.311
Let me tell you,

0:03:48.311,0:03:50.146
I have been a lot more impressed

0:03:50.146,0:03:51.105
than I thought I would be.

0:03:51.105,0:03:52.482
I wasn't expecting this

0:03:52.482,0:03:54.067
to be nearly as good

0:03:54.067,0:03:55.318
as my MacBook Pro

0:03:55.318,0:03:56.736
when it comes to a lot of things.

0:03:56.736,0:03:57.237
It handles

0:03:57.237,0:03:58.196
all of the standard stuff

0:03:58.196,0:03:59.822
extremely well as you'd expect.

0:03:59.822,0:04:01.699
I've been working away at apps like Figma

0:04:01.699,0:04:02.951
for all of my design work,

0:04:02.951,0:04:04.494
and I feel like this is quite basic now.

0:04:04.494,0:04:05.912
I think most people are going to be fine

0:04:05.912,0:04:07.330
using something like Figma,

0:04:07.330,0:04:09.040
especially if you have heavy Figma files

0:04:09.040,0:04:09.791
now that you have

0:04:09.791,0:04:10.500
the upgraded

0:04:10.500,0:04:12.418
unified memory of 16 gigabytes.

0:04:12.418,0:04:13.836
If you have a heavy figma files

0:04:13.836,0:04:15.213
with lots of different screens,

0:04:15.213,0:04:16.589
you shouldn't have an issue like room

0:04:16.589,0:04:18.216
editing as well has been no issues.

0:04:18.216,0:04:18.800
I've been editing

0:04:18.800,0:04:20.760
photos very, very fast and snappy.

0:04:20.760,0:04:21.844
Being able to go through my library

0:04:21.844,0:04:23.763
quickly, copying based edits and stuff.

0:04:23.763,0:04:25.348
It's been very, very smooth.

0:04:25.348,0:04:26.683
So here I am. Anything a video?

0:04:26.683,0:04:28.351
This is for my sole favourite

0:04:28.351,0:04:30.645
Mac jobs Mac apps I can't live without.

0:04:30.645,0:04:33.064
I have two clips,

0:04:33.064,0:04:34.065
I have a screen recording

0:04:34.065,0:04:36.192
and I have the AOL of myself.

0:04:36.776,0:04:38.903
So every half hour that we can see,

0:04:38.903,0:04:39.696
I will of myself.

0:04:39.696,0:04:41.197
And I also have

0:04:41.322,0:04:42.573
the screen recording

0:04:42.573,0:04:43.741
and I've got them set up

0:04:43.741,0:04:44.826
as a multicam clip

0:04:44.826,0:04:46.661
so that I can switch between the two so

0:04:46.661,0:04:48.413
that, you know what, I'm demoing the app.

0:04:48.413,0:04:50.415
You can see me in the corner

0:04:50.415,0:04:51.916
and I'll see how I'm taking up.

0:04:51.916,0:04:53.501
I had the screen recording solve main

0:04:53.501,0:04:55.545
focus of the screen

0:04:55.545,0:04:57.839
when I, for example,

0:04:57.839,0:04:58.423
let's have a good

0:04:58.423,0:04:59.549
let's have a look at this one.

0:04:59.549,0:05:01.884
So right now I have a set of two

0:05:02.510,0:05:04.095
better performance.

0:05:04.095,0:05:06.431
And with better performance,

0:05:06.431,0:05:07.598
it does play

0:05:07.598,0:05:09.726
fairly smoothly and

0:05:10.685,0:05:11.686
it can

0:05:11.686,0:05:14.355
jitter sometimes and

0:05:16.566,0:05:17.066
it's okay

0:05:17.066,0:05:17.817
right now,

0:05:17.817,0:05:18.985
but that's a better performance.

0:05:18.985,0:05:21.571
If I get a better quality

0:05:21.571,0:05:23.406
and I start playing,

0:05:24.282,0:05:25.992
I may be doing fine right now.

0:05:25.992,0:05:27.035
But what would happen

0:05:27.035,0:05:28.995
is I start showing right now

0:05:28.995,0:05:29.370
I think it's

0:05:29.370,0:05:30.163
because Final Cut Pro

0:05:30.163,0:05:31.664
has done the background rendering.

0:05:31.664,0:05:33.249
If you're in the middle of an edit

0:05:33.249,0:05:35.168
and you have two clips like this, two

0:05:35.168,0:05:36.919
heavy clips because I'm using ten,

0:05:36.919,0:05:38.546
there is log footage,

0:05:38.546,0:05:39.505
quite heavy footage,

0:05:39.505,0:05:40.965
which is also compressed.

0:05:40.965,0:05:42.884
Thankfully, the Mac has,

0:05:42.884,0:05:43.926
you know, the media engines

0:05:43.926,0:05:46.179
and whatever else, but it isn't air.

0:05:46.304,0:05:46.929
It's not pro

0:05:46.929,0:05:49.057
so doesn't have as many media engines

0:05:49.057,0:05:51.309
for doing edits like this.

0:05:51.309,0:05:52.435
It works.

0:05:52.435,0:05:53.519
It's not perfect.

0:05:53.519,0:05:55.563
There are sometimes dropped frames.

0:05:56.230,0:05:57.273
It can be a bit slow

0:05:57.273,0:05:58.900
when it comes to playback Main Right

0:05:58.900,0:06:00.610
now, though, it's running smoothly.

0:06:00.610,0:06:01.611
I think, like I said, it's

0:06:01.611,0:06:02.111
because it's done

0:06:02.111,0:06:03.404
a lot of background rendering.

0:06:03.404,0:06:04.530
I'm editing this video right now

0:06:04.530,0:06:06.032
and there's a lot going on.

0:06:06.032,0:06:07.158
Like this is actually one

0:06:07.158,0:06:09.035
of my more complex videos,

0:06:09.035,0:06:10.578
and my review videos

0:06:10.578,0:06:11.954
are technically a bit easier,

0:06:11.954,0:06:12.789
but for stuff like this,

0:06:12.789,0:06:13.748
we have multi cams,

0:06:13.748,0:06:14.499
you have different cameras

0:06:14.499,0:06:15.249
and you're going in and out

0:06:15.249,0:06:16.959
with effects and you have overlays

0:06:16.959,0:06:17.835
where you have to collapse

0:06:17.835,0:06:18.586
on top of each other.

0:06:18.586,0:06:19.962
It has to show both the clips,

0:06:19.962,0:06:21.339
which means it's playing by clips

0:06:21.339,0:06:22.215
at the same time.

0:06:22.215,0:06:24.258
It can be a bit heavier on the chip,

0:06:24.258,0:06:24.967
but it works.

0:06:24.967,0:06:25.510
I think it has

0:06:25.510,0:06:26.302
someone who's interested in

0:06:26.302,0:06:27.345
doing basic video editing.

0:06:27.345,0:06:28.096
Maybe you're shooting stuff

0:06:28.096,0:06:28.846
with an iPhone

0:06:28.846,0:06:31.265
or a of insta360 or whatever it is.

0:06:31.265,0:06:31.808
You know, one of those

0:06:31.808,0:06:33.559
like handheld gimbal cameras.

0:06:33.559,0:06:35.269
You are not going to have any issues here

0:06:35.269,0:06:36.437
with the M4 chip,

0:06:36.437,0:06:37.313
like you will not have

0:06:37.313,0:06:38.272
any issues whatsoever.

0:06:38.272,0:06:40.274
And that's what's so impressive to me.

0:06:40.274,0:06:41.734
The only downside with a chip like this,

0:06:41.734,0:06:43.236
which is completely to be expected, by

0:06:43.236,0:06:43.903
the way,

0:06:43.903,0:06:45.613
is when it comes to rendering video

0:06:45.613,0:06:47.281
as something like Final Cut Pro.

0:06:47.281,0:06:48.616
When I was rendering videos

0:06:48.616,0:06:50.410
at the source, same video out

0:06:50.410,0:06:52.286
edit on my MacBook Pro,

0:06:52.286,0:06:53.871
the render times would be double,

0:06:53.871,0:06:55.581
sometimes triple the time.

0:06:55.581,0:06:58.209
So that can really add on a lot of time.

0:06:58.209,0:06:59.544
If you're wondering a lot of videos,

0:06:59.544,0:07:01.337
especially for someone like me where

0:07:01.337,0:07:03.005
I'm rendering multiple days a week,

0:07:03.005,0:07:03.589
I'm sometimes

0:07:03.589,0:07:04.715
having to weave on to things

0:07:04.715,0:07:05.425
because I'm

0:07:05.425,0:07:07.093
having to go back and edit something.

0:07:07.093,0:07:08.719
I'm sometimes having to render videos

0:07:08.719,0:07:09.137
for clients

0:07:09.137,0:07:10.763
and stuff very quickly as well.

0:07:10.763,0:07:12.265
Time for me is very, very valuable.

0:07:12.265,0:07:12.807
So that's really

0:07:12.807,0:07:14.642
one of the downsides of the M4 chip.

0:07:14.642,0:07:15.560
But again,

0:07:15.560,0:07:17.019
it wasn't really designed for that.

0:07:17.019,0:07:19.105
So it's still an amazing chip

0:07:19.105,0:07:20.106
for everything that it can do.

0:07:20.106,0:07:20.731
If you're someone who's

0:07:20.731,0:07:21.607
just getting started

0:07:21.607,0:07:22.900
with content creation,

0:07:22.900,0:07:23.901
maybe you're just making that all

0:07:23.901,0:07:25.486
video here and there, maybe doing some

0:07:25.486,0:07:27.196
3D rendering, some 3D editing,

0:07:27.196,0:07:28.990
whatever it might be I stuff.

0:07:28.990,0:07:29.532
I think this is going

0:07:29.532,0:07:31.242
to be completely fine just to start with

0:07:31.242,0:07:31.993
maybe down the line

0:07:31.993,0:07:33.703
you can consider something like a pro,

0:07:33.703,0:07:35.746
but for how much this can do

0:07:35.913,0:07:36.664
and what it can do.

0:07:36.664,0:07:38.708
I've genuinely been very impressed.

0:07:38.708,0:07:40.835
As expected, battery life is fantastic.

0:07:40.835,0:07:42.044
Apple have really nailed

0:07:42.044,0:07:42.712
this on battery life

0:07:42.712,0:07:44.046
when it comes to these laptops now.

0:07:44.046,0:07:45.756
And I think most people need to worry

0:07:45.756,0:07:46.382
unless they're doing

0:07:46.382,0:07:47.467
super, super heavy stuff.

0:07:47.467,0:07:48.551
Maybe you're spending the whole day

0:07:48.551,0:07:49.177
video editing

0:07:49.177,0:07:49.510
and yeah,

0:07:49.510,0:07:50.887
you might need to connect it

0:07:50.887,0:07:51.929
to a charger.

0:07:51.929,0:07:53.181
But for doing so,

0:07:53.181,0:07:54.682
I've been working inside that web.

0:07:54.682,0:07:55.766
Browsing, watching videos

0:07:55.766,0:07:57.643
is going to last you the whole day.

0:07:57.643,0:07:58.227
No problem.

0:07:58.227,0:07:58.978
Now let's go through

0:07:58.978,0:08:00.646
some downsize and improvements

0:08:00.646,0:08:01.105
that I think

0:08:01.105,0:08:02.356
could be made to a lot bigger.

0:08:02.356,0:08:03.816
First up is the connectivity.

0:08:03.816,0:08:05.943
I wish it had an extra thunderbolt port.

0:08:05.943,0:08:07.153
So we have two thunderbolt ports

0:08:07.153,0:08:08.029
and the charger,

0:08:08.029,0:08:08.529
which is nice,

0:08:08.529,0:08:10.031
is not having the Magsafe charger.

0:08:10.031,0:08:11.949
But we know with the Mac mini,

0:08:11.949,0:08:13.826
for example, that you can have an extra

0:08:13.826,0:08:16.370
thunderbolt port with the base M4 chip

0:08:16.621,0:08:18.331
and the Mac Mini also has two extra

0:08:18.331,0:08:21.250
SBC ports, so that's five ports in total.

0:08:21.417,0:08:22.627
It would have been nice to maybe

0:08:22.627,0:08:23.503
see an extra thunderbolt

0:08:23.503,0:08:24.378
port on this side

0:08:24.378,0:08:25.254
specifically

0:08:25.254,0:08:26.380
because everything is on this side.

0:08:26.380,0:08:26.923
I kind of feel like

0:08:26.923,0:08:28.299
it just makes it quite limiting

0:08:28.299,0:08:29.175
when you're connecting stuff

0:08:29.175,0:08:30.218
because you've got to make sure

0:08:30.218,0:08:30.968
they have enough length

0:08:30.968,0:08:32.220
and the cable or whatever.

0:08:32.220,0:08:32.929
It would have been nice

0:08:32.929,0:08:33.846
to have another Thunderbolt

0:08:33.846,0:08:36.015
port on their side or even a Usb-C port.

0:08:36.015,0:08:37.808
The display on this is, I think

0:08:37.808,0:08:39.519
actually that's a disservice.

0:08:39.519,0:08:40.853
I think actually it's better than okay.

0:08:40.853,0:08:42.313
It's actually a really good display.

0:08:42.313,0:08:44.649
However, it isn't all that isn't a mini.

0:08:44.774,0:08:46.567
It is a standard LCD display.

0:08:46.567,0:08:48.027
It would be nice to see Mini-Led

0:08:48.027,0:08:49.570
or LED at some point

0:08:49.570,0:08:50.947
because they are getting cheaper

0:08:50.947,0:08:51.614
and easier

0:08:51.614,0:08:53.407
to sort of put in machines like this.

0:08:53.407,0:08:54.116
So maybe in the future

0:08:54.116,0:08:55.243
we get something like that,

0:08:55.243,0:08:56.827
we'll say you're limited to 60 hertz,

0:08:56.827,0:08:58.871
another 60 hertz thing that I feel like

0:08:58.871,0:09:00.540
a lot of people do complain about.

0:09:00.540,0:09:02.375
But I really do think 60 years

0:09:02.375,0:09:02.875
for most people

0:09:02.875,0:09:04.502
who are buying this machine

0:09:04.502,0:09:06.295
60 hours, they probably even notice

0:09:06.295,0:09:08.130
the difference between 60 hours, 120

0:09:08.130,0:09:09.173
yards, 60 hours

0:09:09.173,0:09:10.967
is usually enough for them.

0:09:10.967,0:09:13.636
So that I don't think is as important.

0:09:13.636,0:09:14.720
It would just be nice

0:09:14.720,0:09:16.222
to have many LCD oil.

0:09:16.222,0:09:17.598
And then finally, as a storage,

0:09:17.598,0:09:19.725
you have 256 gigabytes of storage

0:09:19.725,0:09:20.893
with the base model.

0:09:20.893,0:09:22.186
So because of that,

0:09:22.186,0:09:23.145
I've been using it

0:09:23.145,0:09:25.314
with an external SSD connected up to it.

0:09:25.314,0:09:27.483
I'd say 80% of the time.

0:09:27.483,0:09:28.693
I feel like I'm an edge case though,

0:09:28.693,0:09:29.235
because mostly

0:09:29.235,0:09:29.735
I'm editing

0:09:29.735,0:09:31.153
lots of photos and videos and stuff.

0:09:31.153,0:09:32.780
I need a hard drive to edit off.

0:09:32.780,0:09:34.365
It's just not going to be enough storage.

0:09:34.365,0:09:36.867
But that's not even the issue, I think.

0:09:37.034,0:09:38.452
I think it'll be great

0:09:38.452,0:09:40.496
upgrading it to 512 or one terabyte.

0:09:40.496,0:09:42.832
The problem is the pricing for upgrade.

0:09:43.124,0:09:45.042
It's $200 each time.

0:09:45.042,0:09:46.836
So to upgrade from 256

0:09:46.836,0:09:48.629
gigabytes of storage to 512

0:09:48.629,0:09:49.880
gigabytes of storage,

0:09:49.880,0:09:50.756
where you're only adding

0:09:50.756,0:09:52.383
256 gigabytes of storage

0:09:52.383,0:09:54.885
here is an extra $200.

0:09:55.428,0:09:57.138
I think that is ridiculous.

0:09:57.138,0:09:59.599
I think that is just so overpriced

0:09:59.599,0:10:01.267
for what it is for.

0:10:01.267,0:10:04.812
I have it we don't have for $140,

0:10:05.021,0:10:07.898
you can get a Samsung T7

0:10:07.982,0:10:10.026
two terabyte personal drive

0:10:10.026,0:10:11.360
for $140

0:10:11.360,0:10:12.612
to upgrade to two terabytes

0:10:12.612,0:10:13.404
on the MacBook Air.

0:10:13.404,0:10:15.781
It's going to cost you $800.

0:10:16.198,0:10:17.742
How does that make any sense?

0:10:17.742,0:10:18.993
The two biggest changes, though,

0:10:18.993,0:10:20.703
and the two changes that I think make

0:10:20.703,0:10:22.413
the most significant amount of difference

0:10:22.413,0:10:23.664
is the M4 chip

0:10:23.664,0:10:25.875
and the upgraded unified memory

0:10:25.875,0:10:27.501
going from eight gigabytes to 16

0:10:27.501,0:10:29.003
gigabytes of unified memory

0:10:29.003,0:10:30.671
is going to make a world of a difference.

0:10:30.671,0:10:32.256
It's made a world of a difference for me

0:10:32.256,0:10:33.382
when I've been using apps,

0:10:33.382,0:10:35.051
when I've had so many different apps open

0:10:35.051,0:10:36.761
on this machine, but I've had fun.

0:10:36.761,0:10:39.305
I've got pro Lightroom or Slack notion

0:10:39.555,0:10:40.931
all open at the same time.

0:10:40.931,0:10:41.891
I've had no issues.

0:10:41.891,0:10:43.267
It's run so smoothly

0:10:43.267,0:10:44.769
because of that doubled memory.

0:10:44.769,0:10:46.187
I think that's where the MacBook Air

0:10:46.187,0:10:47.188
is really good value.

0:10:47.188,0:10:48.314
If you're willing to put up

0:10:48.314,0:10:48.939
with a few downside.

0:10:48.939,0:10:49.940
As I mentioned,

0:10:49.940,0:10:51.817
this is definitely the best value Mac,

0:10:51.817,0:10:52.860
but you can get right now.

0:10:52.860,0:10:54.195
Make sure to check out my other video

guide where you can see

0:10:56.989,0:10:58.366
all of the Mac points compared

0:10:58.366,0:10:59.533
what I think is worth the money,

0:10:59.533,0:11:00.576
what I think isn't worth the money.

0:11:00.576,0:11:01.327
Make sure check that out.

0:11:01.327,0:11:02.370
And I also have a video on

0:11:02.370,0:11:04.497
the must have apps if you have a mac.
