Another benefit of the fanless design is that it doesn’t risk accumulating dust inside the machine. So no need to periodically clean it out.
Is this better than a 2017 MacBook pro
Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts about the chip.
A bit TOO overhyped. But i like the sleekness and good battery life.
Eager to see what intel and amd will do with arm 🙂
Another negative is the camera quality… it’s not really that good for a 2020 release
“The fan is never going to kick on..”
What fan?
Hi. 8 months = ~ 240 days. Even if you used the MacBook Air for 15 hours a day, every single day for eight months, still it turns out to be 3600 hours, not 5000. Good video though!
Part of the reason that swap memory still performs so well is that Macs won’t really swap anything that is in active working memory unless it absolutely has to. It’s swapping stuff that it might be using, but not nearly as often. The SSDs are ridiculously fast, but there is still an access latency that is estimated at around 100-300K CPU cycles, which is still many orders of magnitude slower than the ~200-500 cycles of an average RAM operation. (And it’s not just the SSD access latency that has to be worried about. It’s also context switches when the OS has to take control to fetch the memory before handing the CPU back to the app. These context switches will take several thousand cycles on their own). As slow as this is, it’s still worlds faster than the millions of cycles required for hard drive swap operations, and these Macs are also faster than most other SSDs. It’s a fast enough that it can throw anything that it isn’t actively using at any given moment (browser tabs, sections of programs containing memory that isn’t used much, etc) and when you need it again, it fetches it from swap fast enough to be more or less unnoticeable unnoticeable from a UI standpoint.
Memory compression also plays a huge part. Mac OS does a good job of this, and can squash memory quite substantially and can do so much faster than the swap operations. Still far slower than RAM operations (RAM compression still takes several thousand cycles due to context switches and the need to compress/decompress 4K pages at a time), but still much faster than SWAP and the M1’s processing power helps to make this faster than on Intel era processors. The end result is that Mac OS has plenty of options as far as what to do when RAM gets right. It can afford to put stuff that isn’t used quite as often into swap or memory compression and the hit is smaller when it needs it again.
You can generally push the memory pretty hard on a Mac as a result, but it’s not quite the same as just “slower RAM” – the OS fundamentally treats it differently and Mac OS is just managing it all in a very smart way.
In general, running out of RAM is rarely an issue on these new M1 macs, but there are certain algorithms that will push it pretty hard. It all depends on how often Mac OS needs to use the memory it’s needing to swap out. If it’s browser tabs and sleeping OS services, or maybe mostly dormant sections of memory for different apps, the swap is pretty much unnoticeable. For most of us, this is the case and the Mac won’t miss a beat once you fill up your RAM. But if it’s LZMA on ludicrous settings or video rendering, it might be tighter. I’ve only managed to really push my Mac to its limits one time, and that was with three virtual machines, several NodeJS processes, about 30 browser tabs, and about 15 other apps open. I pushed it quite hard before 8GB was no longer enough. These things perform like a beast.
I like how the cons are “isn’t a supercomputer” and “you can’t replace the SSD manually”, two things that are nonissues for 99% of users.
The only real con of this thing is the ports. Other than that it’s the best £999 (or less!) you’ll ever spend.
Only con for me: ain’t a gaming pc + 99% of my steam library wouldn’t work on it cause it’s a Mac. 😒 … but really impressed that I spent $900 and was able to do some of the same editing tasks my rigged out PC does. Mac is really trying to bring me back over from PC again and it’s working
its so awesome the m1, why apple didnt ditched intel way earlier?
Bruh! Thank you for this review! Thank you!!!!
I’ve just bought a MacBook Pro 14. Imagine that everything has been said for MacBook Air m1, can be multiplied by twice!
why with 30+tabs opening in safari and some native apple apps open I already started to notice some lag and stutter? The memory pressure is yellow all the time , the swap memory is about 2.5G. As I can remember (very possible my memory is wrong) when I bought it brand-new it was more smooth?
Thank you for this video. There is so much hype these days that the M1 sounds like a super machine. You don’t know whether to trust this or not. Any computer can browse the web and edit videos. So you should assess your use case.
Not everyone is a YouTuber and needs this kind machine. A 600$ pc can do or an xps might fit someone’s needs as well as an m1. Good review
are you sure the ssd will die after few years ?? that’s the major point to consider before buying.. should anyone even buy this ?? how long the ssd will last approximately ??
He thinks we’re doing Skype calls
I work on a Windows computer with good hardware for me, works great, it is absolutely quiet because I turned off the fans, I don’t play games, I don’t edit pro video right now..
But I also need a small laptop for carrying and portable work, and I think that Macbook Air or Windows Oled Ultrabook is better (2k display, lighter than MacBook air)..
What I like the most is the absence of a fan and the long battery life of the MacBook air.
Just use an extra external SSD 🤷 and that ssd failing thing is very rare
Never forget this is only a LAPTOP with no fenses so, its good enough
You do realize that a year has only 8766 hours on average of which you should sleep around 3000 hours, don‘t you? Nah, I‘m just being silly trying to make a joke. Good video, man.
