00:00:00.083 --> 00:00:01.962
So I've been using the new MacBook Air

00:00:01.962 --> 00:00:03.461
over the past week now.

00:00:03.461 --> 00:00:06.066
I purposely bought the base model,

00:00:06.066 --> 00:00:07.590
primarily because that's the model

00:00:07.590 --> 00:00:08.883
that most people are going to buy.

00:00:08.883 --> 00:00:11.178
I wanted to see what it would be 
switching to this

00:00:11.178 --> 00:00:13.475
over my MacBook Pro,

00:00:13.805 --> 00:00:15.052
which is here,

00:00:15.052 --> 00:00:16.975
the M4 Max MacBook Pro.

00:00:17.350 --> 00:00:20.150
This MacBook Pro actually cost me $4,000--

00:00:20.150 --> 00:00:21.479
over $4,000.

00:00:21.855 --> 00:00:23.126
Yeah, this costs $1,000.

00:00:23.356 --> 00:00:25.650
This has the M4 Max chip in it

00:00:25.817 --> 00:00:28.520
and it also has a 36 GB of unified memory.

00:00:28.570 --> 00:00:30.071
Big jump there between the two.

00:00:30.071 --> 00:00:30.780
But I just wanted

00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:32.449
to see what the M4 MacBook

00:00:32.449 --> 00:00:32.991
Air would be like

00:00:32.991 --> 00:00:34.325
and whether they could handle

00:00:34.325 --> 00:00:35.660
most of my workload.

00:00:35.660 --> 00:00:36.786
Considering this MacBook

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

00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:40.540
it has been very interesting.

00:00:40.540 --> 00:00:42.459
I also have the silver version here

00:00:42.459 --> 00:00:44.127
now that the space grey has gone

00:00:44.127 --> 00:00:45.462
and there is no space black.

00:00:45.462 --> 00:00:46.963
I think the silver looks best.

00:00:46.963 --> 00:00:47.589
And here's a shot

00:00:47.589 --> 00:00:48.923
comparing the space, black space,

00:00:48.923 --> 00:00:50.759
grey and silver for anyone interested.

00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:52.510
What is surprising with this MacBook Pro

00:00:52.510 --> 00:00:54.596
is that Apple have lowered the price.

00:00:54.846 --> 00:00:56.014
Let me say that again.

00:00:56.014 --> 00:00:58.266
Apple have lowered the price

00:00:58.266 --> 00:01:00.351
of a product of a new product,

00:01:00.351 --> 00:01:01.603
not something that Apple

00:01:01.603 --> 00:01:02.812
are known for whatsoever.

00:01:02.812 --> 00:01:04.981
And not only have they lowered the price,

00:01:04.981 --> 00:01:05.815
they have also given

00:01:05.815 --> 00:01:07.609
you more for the money.

00:01:07.609 --> 00:01:08.860
You now have a 16

00:01:08.860 --> 00:01:10.445
gigabytes of unified memory compared

00:01:10.445 --> 00:01:12.405
to eight gigabytes in previous models.

00:01:12.405 --> 00:01:13.865
The design itself is unchanged,

00:01:13.865 --> 00:01:15.283
which I think is a good thing.

00:01:15.283 --> 00:01:17.077
This form factor is the best.

00:01:17.077 --> 00:01:17.952
It's super thin

00:01:17.952 --> 00:01:20.455
light and fills grey always surprises me

00:01:20.455 --> 00:01:22.957
how thin MacBook as all when I use them.

00:01:23.416 --> 00:01:24.876
It makes it ideal for travelling.

00:01:24.876 --> 00:01:26.961
Apple have completed now the design here.

00:01:27.212 --> 00:01:28.838
I also much prefer the 13

00:01:28.838 --> 00:01:30.465
inch size over the 15 inch size

00:01:30.465 --> 00:01:31.216
and that is purely down

00:01:31.216 --> 00:01:32.258
to personal preference.

00:01:32.258 --> 00:01:34.302
I've always preferred smaller laptops.

00:01:34.302 --> 00:01:34.928
I think to myself

00:01:34.928 --> 00:01:36.096
it would be even better

00:01:36.096 --> 00:01:37.305
if we saw 12 exposure.

00:01:37.305 --> 00:01:38.640
But hey, 13 inches

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:39.766
I think is a great size.

00:01:39.766 --> 00:01:41.893
The 15 inch model is also $200 more.

00:01:41.893 --> 00:01:44.229
Now, I don't think it's worth $200 more,

00:01:44.437 --> 00:01:46.940
but it does also have two more CPU cores.

00:01:46.940 --> 00:01:48.608
And if you really want that 15 inch,

00:01:48.608 --> 00:01:50.026
maybe it might be worth it for you.

00:01:50.026 --> 00:01:50.527
Alongside

00:01:50.527 --> 00:01:51.736
this MacBook have also been

00:01:51.736 --> 00:01:53.196
using this new monitor from Oasis

00:01:53.196 --> 00:01:54.864
who are also sponsoring this video.

00:01:54.864 --> 00:01:55.865
When I first unboxed it,

00:01:55.865 --> 00:01:57.200
I was actually really impressed

00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.243
by the design of this thing.

00:01:58.243 --> 00:01:59.619
It's not like other monitors.

00:01:59.619 --> 00:02:00.161
You can tell.

00:02:00.161 --> 00:02:02.080
I have spent time designing this monitor

00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:03.581
and it looks fantastic.

00:02:03.581 --> 00:02:04.499
The back in particular

00:02:04.499 --> 00:02:05.500
just looks amazing.

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:06.793
It also comes with a great stand

00:02:06.793 --> 00:02:07.961
that offers a ton of movement.

00:02:07.961 --> 00:02:09.212
You have tilt height

00:02:09.212 --> 00:02:10.755
and rotating options.

00:02:10.755 --> 00:02:13.341
This is part of ISIS's pro art line up,

00:02:13.508 --> 00:02:15.260
so they provide a bunch of colour

00:02:15.260 --> 00:02:17.345
accuracy test shots in the box

00:02:17.345 --> 00:02:19.264
to show that it's been thoroughly tested.

00:02:19.264 --> 00:02:20.682
They specifically compared

00:02:20.682 --> 00:02:21.850
to other much higher

00:02:21.850 --> 00:02:23.476
end production monitors

00:02:23.476 --> 00:02:25.019
which can be in the five figure

00:02:25.019 --> 00:02:25.687
price range.

00:02:25.687 --> 00:02:26.771
This isn't meant to be compared

00:02:26.771 --> 00:02:28.022
to cheap monitors

00:02:28.022 --> 00:02:28.565
due to how

00:02:28.565 --> 00:02:30.525
it is designed for anyone who does

00:02:30.525 --> 00:02:32.152
content creation, whether you're

00:02:32.152 --> 00:02:33.945
a filmmaker, photographer,

00:02:33.945 --> 00:02:36.072
3D artist or designer.

00:02:36.072 --> 00:02:37.824
If you want super top notch

00:02:37.824 --> 00:02:38.867
colour accuracy,

00:02:38.867 --> 00:02:40.368
this is a monitor for it.

00:02:40.368 --> 00:02:43.371
It's a 31.5 inch CUDA led monitor.

00:02:43.371 --> 00:02:45.248
That's 4K and resolution,

00:02:45.248 --> 00:02:47.500
and it also does up to 240 hugs.

00:02:47.834 --> 00:02:48.585
And of course,

00:02:48.585 --> 00:02:51.296
viewing any content on it is sublime.

00:02:51.462 --> 00:02:53.131
Outlets have always been amazing

00:02:53.131 --> 00:02:53.756
in this area.

00:02:53.756 --> 00:02:55.466
It has Thunderbolt four built in

00:02:55.466 --> 00:02:56.801
so you can connect a macbook

00:02:56.801 --> 00:02:58.720
with one cable and daisy chain

00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:00.305
other thunderbolt accessories

00:03:00.305 --> 00:03:01.556
like another monitor.

00:03:01.556 --> 00:03:03.016
The Thunderbolt Port also provides

00:03:03.016 --> 00:03:04.726
up to 96 watts of power.

00:03:04.726 --> 00:03:06.644
I was able to get 240 hours right

00:03:06.644 --> 00:03:08.229
out of the box with the MacBook Air,

00:03:08.229 --> 00:03:10.064
and it is buttery, smooth.

00:03:10.064 --> 00:03:10.899
It's perfect for anyone

00:03:10.899 --> 00:03:12.275
who is looking for a high quality

00:03:12.275 --> 00:03:13.026
outlet monitor

00:03:13.026 --> 00:03:13.693
for their Mac,

00:03:13.693 --> 00:03:15.695
which also has amazing colour accuracy.

00:03:15.945 --> 00:03:17.322
So make sure to check out a live link

00:03:17.322 --> 00:03:18.656
to head down the description below.

00:03:18.656 --> 00:03:19.324
This MacBook Air

00:03:19.324 --> 00:03:21.159
also has the new M4 chip in it

00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.203
and as most people will know,

00:03:23.411 --> 00:03:25.413
the m-series of chips for Apple

00:03:25.413 --> 00:03:27.332
have just been a revelation.

00:03:27.332 --> 00:03:28.958
You get top notch performance

00:03:28.958 --> 00:03:31.169
for a lot less power and a lot less heat,

00:03:31.461 --> 00:03:32.795
so it's made

00:03:32.795 --> 00:03:34.547
for some very powerful chips

00:03:34.547 --> 00:03:36.966
that can go in very compact laptops.

00:03:36.966 --> 00:03:38.551
This specifically has the base

00:03:38.551 --> 00:03:40.386
here, AM4 chip, which has a ten core

00:03:40.386 --> 00:03:42.472
CPU and a eight core CPU.

00:03:42.472 --> 00:03:43.806
I've been using this machine

00:03:43.806 --> 00:03:45.934
just like how I'd use my MacBook Pro.

00:03:45.934 --> 00:03:47.644
I've not hidden anything away from it.

00:03:47.644 --> 00:03:48.311
Let me tell you,

00:03:48.311 --> 00:03:50.146
I have been a lot more impressed

00:03:50.146 --> 00:03:51.105
than I thought I would be.

00:03:51.105 --> 00:03:52.482
I wasn't expecting this

00:03:52.482 --> 00:03:54.067
to be nearly as good

00:03:54.067 --> 00:03:55.318
as my MacBook Pro

00:03:55.318 --> 00:03:56.736
when it comes to a lot of things.

00:03:56.736 --> 00:03:57.237
It handles

00:03:57.237 --> 00:03:58.196
all of the standard stuff

00:03:58.196 --> 00:03:59.822
extremely well as you'd expect.

00:03:59.822 --> 00:04:01.699
I've been working away at apps like Figma

00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:02.951
for all of my design work,

00:04:02.951 --> 00:04:04.494
and I feel like this is quite basic now.

00:04:04.494 --> 00:04:05.912
I think most people are going to be fine

00:04:05.912 --> 00:04:07.330
using something like Figma,

00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:09.040
especially if you have heavy Figma files

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:09.791
now that you have

00:04:09.791 --> 00:04:10.500
the upgraded

00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:12.418
unified memory of 16 gigabytes.

00:04:12.418 --> 00:04:13.836
If you have a heavy figma files

00:04:13.836 --> 00:04:15.213
with lots of different screens,

00:04:15.213 --> 00:04:16.589
you shouldn't have an issue like room

00:04:16.589 --> 00:04:18.216
editing as well has been no issues.

00:04:18.216 --> 00:04:18.800
I've been editing

00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.760
photos very, very fast and snappy.

00:04:20.760 --> 00:04:21.844
Being able to go through my library

00:04:21.844 --> 00:04:23.763
quickly, copying based edits and stuff.

00:04:23.763 --> 00:04:25.348
It's been very, very smooth.

00:04:25.348 --> 00:04:26.683
So here I am. Anything a video?

00:04:26.683 --> 00:04:28.351
This is for my sole favourite

00:04:28.351 --> 00:04:30.645
Mac jobs Mac apps I can't live without.

00:04:30.645 --> 00:04:33.064
I have two clips,

00:04:33.064 --> 00:04:34.065
I have a screen recording

00:04:34.065 --> 00:04:36.192
and I have the AOL of myself.

00:04:36.776 --> 00:04:38.903
So every half hour that we can see,

00:04:38.903 --> 00:04:39.696
I will of myself.

00:04:39.696 --> 00:04:41.197
And I also have

00:04:41.322 --> 00:04:42.573
the screen recording

00:04:42.573 --> 00:04:43.741
and I've got them set up

00:04:43.741 --> 00:04:44.826
as a multicam clip

00:04:44.826 --> 00:04:46.661
so that I can switch between the two so

00:04:46.661 --> 00:04:48.413
that, you know what, I'm demoing the app.

00:04:48.413 --> 00:04:50.415
You can see me in the corner

00:04:50.415 --> 00:04:51.916
and I'll see how I'm taking up.

00:04:51.916 --> 00:04:53.501
I had the screen recording solve main

00:04:53.501 --> 00:04:55.545
focus of the screen

00:04:55.545 --> 00:04:57.839
when I, for example,

00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:58.423
let's have a good

00:04:58.423 --> 00:04:59.549
let's have a look at this one.

00:04:59.549 --> 00:05:01.884
So right now I have a set of two

00:05:02.510 --> 00:05:04.095
better performance.

00:05:04.095 --> 00:05:06.431
And with better performance,

00:05:06.431 --> 00:05:07.598
it does play

00:05:07.598 --> 00:05:09.726
fairly smoothly and

00:05:10.685 --> 00:05:11.686
it can

00:05:11.686 --> 00:05:14.355
jitter sometimes and

00:05:16.566 --> 00:05:17.066
it's okay

00:05:17.066 --> 00:05:17.817
right now,

00:05:17.817 --> 00:05:18.985
but that's a better performance.

00:05:18.985 --> 00:05:21.571
If I get a better quality

00:05:21.571 --> 00:05:23.406
and I start playing,

00:05:24.282 --> 00:05:25.992
I may be doing fine right now.

00:05:25.992 --> 00:05:27.035
But what would happen

00:05:27.035 --> 00:05:28.995
is I start showing right now

00:05:28.995 --> 00:05:29.370
I think it's

00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:30.163
because Final Cut Pro

00:05:30.163 --> 00:05:31.664
has done the background rendering.

00:05:31.664 --> 00:05:33.249
If you're in the middle of an edit

00:05:33.249 --> 00:05:35.168
and you have two clips like this, two

00:05:35.168 --> 00:05:36.919
heavy clips because I'm using ten,

00:05:36.919 --> 00:05:38.546
there is log footage,

00:05:38.546 --> 00:05:39.505
quite heavy footage,

00:05:39.505 --> 00:05:40.965
which is also compressed.

00:05:40.965 --> 00:05:42.884
Thankfully, the Mac has,

00:05:42.884 --> 00:05:43.926
you know, the media engines

00:05:43.926 --> 00:05:46.179
and whatever else, but it isn't air.

00:05:46.304 --> 00:05:46.929
It's not pro

00:05:46.929 --> 00:05:49.057
so doesn't have as many media engines

00:05:49.057 --> 00:05:51.309
for doing edits like this.

00:05:51.309 --> 00:05:52.435
It works.

00:05:52.435 --> 00:05:53.519
It's not perfect.

00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.563
There are sometimes dropped frames.

00:05:56.230 --> 00:05:57.273
It can be a bit slow

00:05:57.273 --> 00:05:58.900
when it comes to playback Main Right

00:05:58.900 --> 00:06:00.610
now, though, it's running smoothly.

00:06:00.610 --> 00:06:01.611
I think, like I said, it's

00:06:01.611 --> 00:06:02.111
because it's done

00:06:02.111 --> 00:06:03.404
a lot of background rendering.

00:06:03.404 --> 00:06:04.530
I'm editing this video right now

00:06:04.530 --> 00:06:06.032
and there's a lot going on.

00:06:06.032 --> 00:06:07.158
Like this is actually one

00:06:07.158 --> 00:06:09.035
of my more complex videos,

00:06:09.035 --> 00:06:10.578
and my review videos

00:06:10.578 --> 00:06:11.954
are technically a bit easier,

00:06:11.954 --> 00:06:12.789
but for stuff like this,

00:06:12.789 --> 00:06:13.748
we have multi cams,

00:06:13.748 --> 00:06:14.499
you have different cameras

00:06:14.499 --> 00:06:15.249
and you're going in and out

00:06:15.249 --> 00:06:16.959
with effects and you have overlays

00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:17.835
where you have to collapse

00:06:17.835 --> 00:06:18.586
on top of each other.

00:06:18.586 --> 00:06:19.962
It has to show both the clips,

00:06:19.962 --> 00:06:21.339
which means it's playing by clips

00:06:21.339 --> 00:06:22.215
at the same time.

00:06:22.215 --> 00:06:24.258
It can be a bit heavier on the chip,

00:06:24.258 --> 00:06:24.967
but it works.

00:06:24.967 --> 00:06:25.510
I think it has

00:06:25.510 --> 00:06:26.302
someone who's interested in

00:06:26.302 --> 00:06:27.345
doing basic video editing.

00:06:27.345 --> 00:06:28.096
Maybe you're shooting stuff

00:06:28.096 --> 00:06:28.846
with an iPhone

00:06:28.846 --> 00:06:31.265
or a of insta360 or whatever it is.

00:06:31.265 --> 00:06:31.808
You know, one of those

00:06:31.808 --> 00:06:33.559
like handheld gimbal cameras.

00:06:33.559 --> 00:06:35.269
You are not going to have any issues here

00:06:35.269 --> 00:06:36.437
with the M4 chip,

00:06:36.437 --> 00:06:37.313
like you will not have

00:06:37.313 --> 00:06:38.272
any issues whatsoever.

00:06:38.272 --> 00:06:40.274
And that's what's so impressive to me.

00:06:40.274 --> 00:06:41.734
The only downside with a chip like this,

00:06:41.734 --> 00:06:43.236
which is completely to be expected, by

00:06:43.236 --> 00:06:43.903
the way,

00:06:43.903 --> 00:06:45.613
is when it comes to rendering video

00:06:45.613 --> 00:06:47.281
as something like Final Cut Pro.

00:06:47.281 --> 00:06:48.616
When I was rendering videos

00:06:48.616 --> 00:06:50.410
at the source, same video out

00:06:50.410 --> 00:06:52.286
edit on my MacBook Pro,

00:06:52.286 --> 00:06:53.871
the render times would be double,

00:06:53.871 --> 00:06:55.581
sometimes triple the time.

00:06:55.581 --> 00:06:58.209
So that can really add on a lot of time.

00:06:58.209 --> 00:06:59.544
If you're wondering a lot of videos,

00:06:59.544 --> 00:07:01.337
especially for someone like me where

00:07:01.337 --> 00:07:03.005
I'm rendering multiple days a week,

00:07:03.005 --> 00:07:03.589
I'm sometimes

00:07:03.589 --> 00:07:04.715
having to weave on to things

00:07:04.715 --> 00:07:05.425
because I'm

00:07:05.425 --> 00:07:07.093
having to go back and edit something.

00:07:07.093 --> 00:07:08.719
I'm sometimes having to render videos

00:07:08.719 --> 00:07:09.137
for clients

00:07:09.137 --> 00:07:10.763
and stuff very quickly as well.

00:07:10.763 --> 00:07:12.265
Time for me is very, very valuable.

00:07:12.265 --> 00:07:12.807
So that's really

00:07:12.807 --> 00:07:14.642
one of the downsides of the M4 chip.

00:07:14.642 --> 00:07:15.560
But again,

00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.019
it wasn't really designed for that.

00:07:17.019 --> 00:07:19.105
So it's still an amazing chip

00:07:19.105 --> 00:07:20.106
for everything that it can do.

00:07:20.106 --> 00:07:20.731
If you're someone who's

00:07:20.731 --> 00:07:21.607
just getting started

00:07:21.607 --> 00:07:22.900
with content creation,

00:07:22.900 --> 00:07:23.901
maybe you're just making that all

00:07:23.901 --> 00:07:25.486
video here and there, maybe doing some

00:07:25.486 --> 00:07:27.196
3D rendering, some 3D editing,

00:07:27.196 --> 00:07:28.990
whatever it might be I stuff.

00:07:28.990 --> 00:07:29.532
I think this is going

00:07:29.532 --> 00:07:31.242
to be completely fine just to start with

00:07:31.242 --> 00:07:31.993
maybe down the line

00:07:31.993 --> 00:07:33.703
you can consider something like a pro,

00:07:33.703 --> 00:07:35.746
but for how much this can do

00:07:35.913 --> 00:07:36.664
and what it can do.

00:07:36.664 --> 00:07:38.708
I've genuinely been very impressed.

00:07:38.708 --> 00:07:40.835
As expected, battery life is fantastic.

00:07:40.835 --> 00:07:42.044
Apple have really nailed

00:07:42.044 --> 00:07:42.712
this on battery life

00:07:42.712 --> 00:07:44.046
when it comes to these laptops now.

00:07:44.046 --> 00:07:45.756
And I think most people need to worry

00:07:45.756 --> 00:07:46.382
unless they're doing

00:07:46.382 --> 00:07:47.467
super, super heavy stuff.

00:07:47.467 --> 00:07:48.551
Maybe you're spending the whole day

00:07:48.551 --> 00:07:49.177
video editing

00:07:49.177 --> 00:07:49.510
and yeah,

00:07:49.510 --> 00:07:50.887
you might need to connect it

00:07:50.887 --> 00:07:51.929
to a charger.

00:07:51.929 --> 00:07:53.181
But for doing so,

00:07:53.181 --> 00:07:54.682
I've been working inside that web.

00:07:54.682 --> 00:07:55.766
Browsing, watching videos

00:07:55.766 --> 00:07:57.643
is going to last you the whole day.

00:07:57.643 --> 00:07:58.227
No problem.

00:07:58.227 --> 00:07:58.978
Now let's go through

00:07:58.978 --> 00:08:00.646
some downsize and improvements

00:08:00.646 --> 00:08:01.105
that I think

00:08:01.105 --> 00:08:02.356
could be made to a lot bigger.

00:08:02.356 --> 00:08:03.816
First up is the connectivity.

00:08:03.816 --> 00:08:05.943
I wish it had an extra thunderbolt port.

00:08:05.943 --> 00:08:07.153
So we have two thunderbolt ports

00:08:07.153 --> 00:08:08.029
and the charger,

00:08:08.029 --> 00:08:08.529
which is nice,

00:08:08.529 --> 00:08:10.031
is not having the Magsafe charger.

00:08:10.031 --> 00:08:11.949
But we know with the Mac mini,

00:08:11.949 --> 00:08:13.826
for example, that you can have an extra

00:08:13.826 --> 00:08:16.370
thunderbolt port with the base M4 chip

00:08:16.621 --> 00:08:18.331
and the Mac Mini also has two extra

00:08:18.331 --> 00:08:21.250
SBC ports, so that's five ports in total.

00:08:21.417 --> 00:08:22.627
It would have been nice to maybe

00:08:22.627 --> 00:08:23.503
see an extra thunderbolt

00:08:23.503 --> 00:08:24.378
port on this side

00:08:24.378 --> 00:08:25.254
specifically

00:08:25.254 --> 00:08:26.380
because everything is on this side.

00:08:26.380 --> 00:08:26.923
I kind of feel like

00:08:26.923 --> 00:08:28.299
it just makes it quite limiting

00:08:28.299 --> 00:08:29.175
when you're connecting stuff

00:08:29.175 --> 00:08:30.218
because you've got to make sure

00:08:30.218 --> 00:08:30.968
they have enough length

00:08:30.968 --> 00:08:32.220
and the cable or whatever.

00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:32.929
It would have been nice

00:08:32.929 --> 00:08:33.846
to have another Thunderbolt

00:08:33.846 --> 00:08:36.015
port on their side or even a Usb-C port.

00:08:36.015 --> 00:08:37.808
The display on this is, I think

00:08:37.808 --> 00:08:39.519
actually that's a disservice.

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.853
I think actually it's better than okay.

00:08:40.853 --> 00:08:42.313
It's actually a really good display.

00:08:42.313 --> 00:08:44.649
However, it isn't all that isn't a mini.

00:08:44.774 --> 00:08:46.567
It is a standard LCD display.

00:08:46.567 --> 00:08:48.027
It would be nice to see Mini-Led

00:08:48.027 --> 00:08:49.570
or LED at some point

00:08:49.570 --> 00:08:50.947
because they are getting cheaper

00:08:50.947 --> 00:08:51.614
and easier

00:08:51.614 --> 00:08:53.407
to sort of put in machines like this.

00:08:53.407 --> 00:08:54.116
So maybe in the future

00:08:54.116 --> 00:08:55.243
we get something like that,

00:08:55.243 --> 00:08:56.827
we'll say you're limited to 60 hertz,

00:08:56.827 --> 00:08:58.871
another 60 hertz thing that I feel like

00:08:58.871 --> 00:09:00.540
a lot of people do complain about.

00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:02.375
But I really do think 60 years

00:09:02.375 --> 00:09:02.875
for most people

00:09:02.875 --> 00:09:04.502
who are buying this machine

00:09:04.502 --> 00:09:06.295
60 hours, they probably even notice

00:09:06.295 --> 00:09:08.130
the difference between 60 hours, 120

00:09:08.130 --> 00:09:09.173
yards, 60 hours

00:09:09.173 --> 00:09:10.967
is usually enough for them.

00:09:10.967 --> 00:09:13.636
So that I don't think is as important.

00:09:13.636 --> 00:09:14.720
It would just be nice

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.222
to have many LCD oil.

00:09:16.222 --> 00:09:17.598
And then finally, as a storage,

00:09:17.598 --> 00:09:19.725
you have 256 gigabytes of storage

00:09:19.725 --> 00:09:20.893
with the base model.

00:09:20.893 --> 00:09:22.186
So because of that,

00:09:22.186 --> 00:09:23.145
I've been using it

00:09:23.145 --> 00:09:25.314
with an external SSD connected up to it.

00:09:25.314 --> 00:09:27.483
I'd say 80% of the time.

00:09:27.483 --> 00:09:28.693
I feel like I'm an edge case though,

00:09:28.693 --> 00:09:29.235
because mostly

00:09:29.235 --> 00:09:29.735
I'm editing

00:09:29.735 --> 00:09:31.153
lots of photos and videos and stuff.

00:09:31.153 --> 00:09:32.780
I need a hard drive to edit off.

00:09:32.780 --> 00:09:34.365
It's just not going to be enough storage.

00:09:34.365 --> 00:09:36.867
But that's not even the issue, I think.

00:09:37.034 --> 00:09:38.452
I think it'll be great

00:09:38.452 --> 00:09:40.496
upgrading it to 512 or one terabyte.

00:09:40.496 --> 00:09:42.832
The problem is the pricing for upgrade.

00:09:43.124 --> 00:09:45.042
It's $200 each time.

00:09:45.042 --> 00:09:46.836
So to upgrade from 256

00:09:46.836 --> 00:09:48.629
gigabytes of storage to 512

00:09:48.629 --> 00:09:49.880
gigabytes of storage,

00:09:49.880 --> 00:09:50.756
where you're only adding

00:09:50.756 --> 00:09:52.383
256 gigabytes of storage

00:09:52.383 --> 00:09:54.885
here is an extra $200.

00:09:55.428 --> 00:09:57.138
I think that is ridiculous.

00:09:57.138 --> 00:09:59.599
I think that is just so overpriced

00:09:59.599 --> 00:10:01.267
for what it is for.

00:10:01.267 --> 00:10:04.812
I have it we don't have for $140,

00:10:05.021 --> 00:10:07.898
you can get a Samsung T7

00:10:07.982 --> 00:10:10.026
two terabyte personal drive

00:10:10.026 --> 00:10:11.360
for $140

00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:12.612
to upgrade to two terabytes

00:10:12.612 --> 00:10:13.404
on the MacBook Air.

00:10:13.404 --> 00:10:15.781
It's going to cost you $800.

00:10:16.198 --> 00:10:17.742
How does that make any sense?

00:10:17.742 --> 00:10:18.993
The two biggest changes, though,

00:10:18.993 --> 00:10:20.703
and the two changes that I think make

00:10:20.703 --> 00:10:22.413
the most significant amount of difference

00:10:22.413 --> 00:10:23.664
is the M4 chip

00:10:23.664 --> 00:10:25.875
and the upgraded unified memory

00:10:25.875 --> 00:10:27.501
going from eight gigabytes to 16

00:10:27.501 --> 00:10:29.003
gigabytes of unified memory

00:10:29.003 --> 00:10:30.671
is going to make a world of a difference.

00:10:30.671 --> 00:10:32.256
It's made a world of a difference for me

00:10:32.256 --> 00:10:33.382
when I've been using apps,

00:10:33.382 --> 00:10:35.051
when I've had so many different apps open

00:10:35.051 --> 00:10:36.761
on this machine, but I've had fun.

00:10:36.761 --> 00:10:39.305
I've got pro Lightroom or Slack notion

00:10:39.555 --> 00:10:40.931
all open at the same time.

00:10:40.931 --> 00:10:41.891
I've had no issues.

00:10:41.891 --> 00:10:43.267
It's run so smoothly

00:10:43.267 --> 00:10:44.769
because of that doubled memory.

00:10:44.769 --> 00:10:46.187
I think that's where the MacBook Air

00:10:46.187 --> 00:10:47.188
is really good value.

00:10:47.188 --> 00:10:48.314
If you're willing to put up

00:10:48.314 --> 00:10:48.939
