Yooooo.....
Let me first say, I'm not an Apple fanboy at all
Matter of fact, this is my first Apple product in like 15+ years

My original plan was to buy one for my niece, as an early Christmas gift
She just started college & needs a new computer to use
I've been looking at YouTube videos the past couple weeks
And played around with the demo at BestBuy
So I said "fuck it minus whale get me one too"

Let me tell ya'll.....BGOL.....Don't....Fuckin.....Sleep !!!
This little mofo is no joke !!!
Its more powerful than damn near most laptops on the market right now
(I'm talking about Apple & Intel CPU laptops)
And on top of that, this battery life is fucking bananas !!!
I'm talking about 15+ hours of screen time, all fucking day long, better than a cell phone
Like.....Nigga What !!! :eek2:

This shit gonna be a serious problem for Dell, Lenovo & HP
Anyone looking to buy a laptop soon, you have to take a look at this new MacBook Air.....you have to
With the new M1 apple silicon chip inside
Don't just look at the specs sheet, because its very deceiving

You say this because you don't do anything professional with it. :lol:


Multitasking on the New MacBook Air? No Problem !!!
20+ Pornhub chrome tabs open, Multiple youtube videos running, 4K, 8K, etc, etc
No Problem Fam !!! :cool:

In the beginning of this YouTube vid, the dudes slow internet was causing his 8K stream to buffer.

Anyone with a career in the AV industry will tell you that "air" is code for "fool who was sold on Apple propaganda".
Two ports and no internal hard drive a a recipe for disaster.
Off the top of my head - quick scenario:
you have a business presentation at the company's annual meeting.
You go to your local convention center with your presentation done and ready. Its saved to the cloud.
You go to the lectern and there is a cable with an HDMI adapter. This connection goes to several video systems - some display your computer's desktop to all of the monitors, projection screens, video walls, etc. Some go to the downstage monitors in front of you so that you can do your presentation without having to have to hover over your computer. You have a presentation advancer for your computer. That's one port. You now need to find an adapter to go HDMI. NO, it is not the AV company's responsibility. Oh shit! You don't have one! A nice technician loans you theirs. It is a USB-C to HDMI adapter. Saved! Now all you have to do is download your presentation from the cloud and you're set. You get ready to logon to the internet and realize that you can't! The internet is running slow as hell because everyone else in the ballroom that you're in is also logging on and using the internet. "Oh, shit!" "What to do now?" You call the engineer/technician up and tell them the problem. They give you the rundown: "Do you have it saved on a thumb drive?" "Nope, the file is too big" "Okay, we have a hard line for presenters" "Do you have an adapter with an ethernet connection? "No." "Maybe we have one…I'll check" "One of our techs had one that they are willing to loan you for your presentation. "I need to unplug one of these to use it" "That one goes out to the screens" "This one is my clicker! I can't advance my presentation without it"
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't know what to tell you."
Fucked. You're stuck standing in front of the computer, advancing it by hand. So much for audience engagement.
Let's say you get the presentation up and something happens and your presentation goes down in the middle of it. Let's say the internet goes out or gets too bogged down with other connections.
If you had PORTS, you could also have an external hard drive with you with the whole presentation on it to run it from. You've only got two ports. You're SOL.
If it were a pro, you'd have an internal hard drive.
Now, I just came up with this off the top of the dome. There are a myriad of other reasons I could come up with.
This is a fine computer for at-home work that is not dependent on connectivity of any kind.

So, FOH with your 8k video if it can't go anywhere. The fact that people even play 4k videos on tiny ass screens shows how ignorant most people are about the purpose of the tech. Higher resolution is so that you can show videos on larger screens without aliasing or pixelation. Unless you're using it for gaming (not a professional use unless you work as a game tester), it really doesn't even matter. "Prosumer" specs are mostly for the marketing department to pump to consumers so they can feel like they are getting the same thing as the pro product but saving money. Congratulations, Apple marketing team. Looks like it works.

What portable computer nowadays had an Ethernet port AND HDMI port?

If you are heading to any important meeting and know your presenting and don't have the relevant dongles or adapters with you, then that's on you. I just looked up the recent Dell XPS 13 inch laptops and they are also running with USB - C ports. I have a Chromebook as well that is essentially USB-C only as well.

You're shitting on the new MacBook Air, because it is an "Air"
But you haven't even done any research about it yet
Okay welp pay attention to this video which shows the "new Air" vs the "new Pro"
Just a quick fyi.....Apple put (damn near) the same CPU in both of the new laptops
And that's one of the reasons why I told @jasonblacc that there's only minor differences between the two
The pro has a fan which only kicks in during VERY long sustained heavy CPU use

Go to the 5:40 mark of this YouTube vid
The video shows the "Air" doing photo editing & video editing, etc, etc with no problems
Benchmarks and real world tests :cool:

Also the Air also has an SSD. Are you confusing a MacBook with a Chromebook?
 
Just bought my wife the MacBook Pro. :smh:
$2200.

about to buy my daughter a $1200 gaming computer.

And what do I get? The big piece of chicken.


Which MacBook Pro did you buy?
The one with the Intel chip inside?
Or the one with the new M1 Apple chip inside?
Both models came out this year
The Intel version came out around March/April I believe

The Mac Air plays 8K video fine for me with no issues at all.....

you can't see either of those resolutions but I have heard nothing but great things about the M1 joints. It's that tight ass apple integration made even more literal with everything on the one die. They are top notch at efficiency through integration. It's my understanding that they are basically on par w the i7 imacs, which is impressive.

that's fucked up but that's also the kind of scenario that only happens to a smart nigga one time.

Honestly no times to a smart nigga but once to an inexperienced one.

But limited ports sucks ass, this is true.

Might have to give a harder look at the Air after watching this.
 
@CurtDawg
Bruh, they don't even understand. It's a paradigm shift. Like you said, the game has changed. You can't even think about it in the same way we usually think about numbers- cpu/gpu/ram/etc-
It's going to take intel YEARS to catch up.


Keep in mind this is REV 1/GEN 1 of this chip- and I'm not even sure these are the optimized for M1 geekbench scores... wait till they get gud with
this... :smh: :itsawrap:


MacBook Air M1 Geekbench 5 results



LaptopGeekbench 5 score

Need to replace my 2015 Macbook Pro and was looking at the Air but the new Pro is nice too.

Actually the video you posted of MKBHD, is him talking about the "older" Intel MacBook
Quick heads up for everyone.....
Apple came out with multiple Mac Air's, and multiple Mac Pros this year

In March 2020:
They came out with a "new" 13 inch MacBook Air (with an Intel CPU)
And they also came out with a "new" 13 inch MacBook Pro (with an Intel CPU)

Then this month November 2020:
They came out with another "new" 13 inch MacBook Air (with this Apple M1 CPU)
And also came out with another "new 13 inch MacBook Pro (with the same Apple M1 CPU)

The laptops look exactly the same, just the integrated CPU/motherboard inside is different
Confusing as hell, and they probably pissed off a lot of people. :smh:
Because these new M1 chip laptops blow every Intel i7 based laptop out of the water
