M3 MacBook Air One Month Later - DON'T Listen To The Reviewers!

There's a problem with MacBook Air Reviews... most reviews focus on what it doesn't have rather than what it has, and the experience of using this laptop is something that most reviewers don't focus on in favor of talking about how fast it performs in benchmarks, and while that information is useful, it's not useful for those looking for a solid laptop with a great design, good specs, and battery life to spare. It's why I don't think you should listen to most MacBook Air reviews... maybe even mine.

    • And even if people DID edit videos, whatever device you're coming from is definitely slower than the Air anyway given most people keep their computers for at least 5 years. I for instance have a 10ish year old HP Elite book 1040 g1 with 4GB ram. Old ahh laptop. ANYTHING even remotely more powerful will do lots of good for me, heck if not for the design I'd even be plenty happy with the last intel MacBook air because it looks better than and is more powerful than my stone age laptop, but some reviewers want me to believe I need an m3 max as if I'm Marques editing an 8k 30 video.

    • If you are keeping the iPad and not trading it in or whatever, look into “continuity features” when you get your MacBook. Apple products are designed to work well with other Apple products, and there’s about a dozen neat things you could do with the iPad and MacBook together you couldn’t do with other laptops. Even if you find only one or two of them useful, it’s still useful to know.

  • I just ordered my second MacBook Air, the M3. My M1 is still extremely fast and capable, but it's 4 years old now and wanted to update. I'm getting the M3 with 16GB Memory, and 1TB SSD. I am a graphic designer and use Adobe software. I had to use Windows for a job I once had. I don't think I ever did understand that insanity. I was always having to call IT! Then, for a job interview, I sat down at an old Mac IIci to design an ad. I had never used a Mac in my life! I sat down, scanned the logo, did some creative tweaking and designed the add to perfection! I was hired on the spot! I have never used anything but Apple products since! If you have no experience with a Mac, you couldn't possibly understand why Mac users are completely in love with Apple!

I switched to a windows gaming pc from 2019 on, but yearned for Mac OS, rather than just having iOS. I just replaced my 2020 iPad Pro today with a MacBook Air M3 and couldn't be happier to delve back into Mac OS, as if I never left.

I use Adobe Illustrator most, then a bit of Photoshop and I'm trying to learn Blender and my current Mac, a 2017 iMac i5 21" (OS now on an external SSD which tripled it's speed) is actually good enough for almost all my tasks so these much much newer machines, even though they are considered at the low end must be perfect for the majority of users. Something we could only dream about just a few short years ago. I'm pretty sure now, I'm going for an M3 Air soon, with extra ram and disk space. Cheers.

  • Great to see a real life review done by someone with a head screwed on. I’ve purchased a base model M3 MBA a month ago, swapped from a touchbar intel MBP and I am very happy with it. I spoke to an Apple advisor before I got one and they recommended the base model based on my needs. I was actually surprised that they didn’t try to sell me a more expensive model. It’s so much crispier and faster than my old MBP, an absolute pleasure to use for my daily tasks and uni work.

  • Great review. The added personal story at the end really resonated with me. It’s important to recognize that not everyone is editing videos or producing music and a good review articulates where certain opinions are nit picking. I have become much more self aware when purchasing items these days. You can always “future proof” and buy a loaded out device, but do you want that same device for 10 years? Is $200 to upgrade ram worth it if you aren’t maximizing its capabilities? I just purchased the MacBook Air 15” to upgrade from my 2017 Intel MacBook Pro and I love it. It’s simple, snappy and the midnight finish is awesome.

    • I love how many people are able to see into the future, and predict your memory needs 2 or 3 years from now. If your budget only allows for 8GB, then go for it. If most of your work is browser based and MS Office, you will be fine for years to come. These are very mature apps, and I doubt very much that you'll **need** more memory in a couple of years. Now, maybe your computer use changes a lot in the coming years. Maybe your light Excel use turns into heavy data modeling and analytics. If that happens, then by all means buy a new computer, you've earned it, and your higher-paying new career means you can easily afford a new computer. If you do have some room in the budget, I think the first upgrade should be memory, and if your budget allows, then by all means, go for 16GB, as this will likely be the first bottleneck you encounter in the future. But if that means going over budget, don't. Save you money, be financially responsible and sleep well knowing that for most people, 8GB will be plenty for the foreseeable future. I spent 30 years working for a company that actually makes computer memory. The growth curve for amount of memory a typical user needs has flattened out quite a bit. Getting 8GB now won't mean you have to replace it in 2 or 3 years unless your computing needs change dramatically.

  • so are u saying, like, if i buy an air m3 with 8gb of ram and 512 gb of memory, it will be okay? I'm a programmer and i gonna start my master degree, just wanna know if i should buy an 8gb ou 16gb ram

    • I am sure there will be people in your class using far less capable laptops that will do just fine. Don’t trick yourself into feeling like the only option is maxing out specs to do well in your masters program.

    • I do enjoy the same model as you, but it's not underrated compared to a Pro models just because it's not comparable. These are different devices for different applications. There's nothing to compare between them.

    • Actually many people are cross shopping, especially those who want a slightly larger screen. And despite the Air moniker, they hold their own against some of the fastest Intel Windows laptops. People did professional work on much, much slower devices and got their job done.

    • @@TheSpamabys people do strange, sometimes stupid things. If you even can do some professional work on a Air, doesn't mean you should. There's nothing better than using things as intended. They always perform well. If you're a pro, and do some serious work on a Mac regularly, you just need a pro model. It'll help you to make more money, as you'll do the job faster and with less stress. Air is an amazing solution for people with basic workload. If you use it just for fun - 13 inch model is great, for more prolonged work 15 is so much better choice. But it should be something relatively simple. Than everything will be alright. Trying to regularly rendering 4K will get you nothing but disappointment.

  • I just bought myself a M1 Pro MacBook Pro, and i cant think of any better value for money. I dont really care about the higher weight and the main point for me was the better display with 120hz. I have been using high refresh rates for years and can not go back… Also the base modell came with 16gb ram and 512gb ssd which is perfectly fine for the stuff i do. Great Vid

  • Indeed, the best thing about the Mac experience IS the macOS. Taylor made for the hardware which is much more important than non Mac users seem to understand. 😏 And yes, I still have a MB Air first issue (the one that came out of the envelope 17 years ago if you remember) and although it can do only documents and some old apps no longer running on newer Macs (and has no more battery inside😅), it is still a sight to behold and impressing everyone seeing it (and has only one USB, one video port and one headphones jack). 😀👍

  • Just thank you I went from MacBook Air m1 to M1 Pro thinking I needed the performance boost missed out on the portability and fanless design that I can’t live without and sold the 14 mbp M1 Pro and got an air again and won’t be selling it until m9 drops 😅 also they edit the os whatever it is windows or Linux or Mac so much that the intended use of the system is lost like embrace what ever is ur using and stop trying to make one look like the other or vis.

  • I bought one.. way better than any other windows laptop I've bought and there's been a lot. The last one was a surface pro 8. This one is silent/fast/battery lasts way way way longer and it's still fast and silent unplugged. Also those like me that have been Windows users forever.. just put Parallels/windows 11 on it. Windows 11 on a Macbook air is a better experience than my Microsoft surface device with WIndows 11.. that's crazy to think about, benchmarks faster too. And everything that I've thrown at the ARM version of Windows 11 has worked so far.

  • Been saying this too. For almost everyone the Air is more capable then their everyday needs. It’s even strong enough for most audio producers. Most KZheadrs that are into video editing would be fine also. They seem to forget that they are shooting 8k or 4 k videos in hdr, editing and uploading in 4k to be viewed by the public that watch on default quality settings witch usually defaults to 720 or 1080p.

  • Thanks for this clear headed, sensible POV. My parents took a loan out to get me a PowerBook 165c (160MB hard drive, 9” diagonal screen, but…256 colors!). Still breaks my heart to think of their sacrifice. It was $3000. SMH. Yes, I fully agree about how much these devices bring out our creative sides and absolutely agree that a machine like this or anything near peer this generation (M1, M2) is pretty sick to own and use. So stop complaining and start creating. Do it for those who paid through the nose for you and for yourself. After a review like this, I’m just glad I can actually afford one. #blessed

  • Air 13.6" M3 16GB RAM is something I consider to buy. According to my research, Pro 14" M3 16GB RAM with same specs has better performance because Air has no cooling. Me with 60+ tabs opened, doing something in Photoshop at the same time,... I imagine with the Air the temperature goes very high. Can you comment the thermal throttling? Is it bareable? Thanks!
