It was only $50 more to get the base Pro vs the 8 core Mac Air... I sacrificed some storage, but having the extra gpu, the fan, the Touch Bar (yes, I use it especially in logic), a few extra hours of battery time, the mics built in (helpful for mixing audio) etc. that was totally happy with it and I'm glad I didn't get the higher end Air this time.

I personally sold my 16 inch intel MacBook Pro and purchased the base MacBook Air M1 and man did I make the correct decision. I was never a fan of the Air but from owning a 15inch MacBook Pro to a 16inch MacBook Pro I had grown to find it very tedious to travel with larger sized MacBook. I love the Airs design how the body tapers towards the keyboard. The M1 chip is not a gimmick and most importantly my room does not increased by 10 degrees. All of this convenience while also being able to have extra cash in my pocket. Bravo Apple. Job well done.

@@mejlgaardbliddal looking at Max Tech's video on 8GB vs 16GB of RAM on the M1 Macs it seems that Apple uses the RAM differently with this new M1 chip. Basically the Macs will use quite a bit of swap memory whenever a program needs more RAM, and in real world use he found a negligible difference in performance and just slightly better multitasking experience in the 16GB, but barely noticeable. This could be attributed to the fact that the new processor share their memory within a single chip (RAM, GPU, CPU), so memory speeds are crazy fast, and SSD speeds are fast enough that it can write to it rather than actual RAM whenever it needs more than is physically available. Some are concerned about the long term effects of high swap usage but SSDs nowadays are rated for hundreds of TB of writing to it before any noticeable slowdown in performance so you're better off just getting the 8GB anyway

Great review! Regarding the mics on the Air vs Pro - there is a clear quality difference in favor of the Pro. The Pro likely has more directional mics (think shotgun/boom microphones) with a tighter cardioid pattern, which are cancelling room tone and frequencies bouncing around from the side and back, producing a more voice-focused signal. When listening to the Air mics, even on low-end non-studio computer speakers (even more-so on my studio monitors) the echo from the hard surfaces around you is very clear. Speaking as a voice actor and audio producer, the human ear tends to favor loud > finely tuned audio when not critically listening to a performance. That said, both computers sound just fine to me.

@@zdcgbkmdh1055 my point was that under current circumstances, with current cpu demand of apps, the Air hardly gets throttled. But future apps might demand more from the cpu (apps rarely get lighter) and since these laptops cost so much, I didn’t want to find myself in a future situation where I’d have to switch earlier simply because of the heat or throttling. I actually had to buy the M1 because I couldn’t upgrade Xcode anymore on my 128GB MBP, in other words a single component, the SSD, was the reason I needed to replace. That’s not gonna happen to me again, in this case with the absence of the fan. So depending on what you expect the future bottleneck to be, 512GB instead of the default might increase the life of your laptop. Don’t bother about the extra graphics core though!

You're going to be fine with 8 GB, but in tasks like heavy video editing and whatnot, the 16 GB will be slightly faster, and you can keep more programs open as well. The main reason I got 16 GB is for future-proofing since we can't upgrade the RAM after purchase, and because I'll keep my MacBook Air for years, so it was worth spending an extra $200 over the struggles that I might encounter in the future due to having 8 GB of RAM.

Just my take on this having ordered both to test them out (which I have been doing for days now): the pro is better, but I feel like the smartest thing to do today, is to save the 300 bucks and spend that money on the redesigned MB pro 2021. That one will maybe already have a mini LED display too. Because besides being a tad brighter, there is absolutely no visible difference between the air and pro I have in front of me. And in terms of performance: get the pro if you are serious about video editing and stuff. To all other people: just get the air. The performance is identical for short burst loads, as shown in many videos. And at least you can just put the Air on your lap, couch or bed without worrying about dust getting in.

I bought the pro with 16GB/512 and am waiting for the MBA 8GB/512 to arrive to compare them and decide which one to return. After seeing so many comparisons where the 8GB was really not different than the 16GB (hard to wrap my head a round), I'm thinking of going with the MBA and then selling it next year when the 14" hopefully comes out and that way I won''t lose much $. :)

@@mna3879 hands down 16 GB. I actually kept that until the 14” MBP came out and sold it and bought the 14” which I love. I think it’s wise to get most ram you can afford up to 32gb at least. But I got a killer price on 14” M1 pro with 1 TB SSD. Would have loved 32 GB RAM but that was too much $$ for me.

Btw it’s actually just about 60 dollar difference as you should compare the air 512 gb and pro base-model. The pro’s price is just 60 dollar more and it adds a fan, and a extra core! So basically KZitemrs have compared wrong 😑! Lol 😂

Heard no difference in the microphones.... But the studio mics generally improve in a noisy environment rather than performance in a quiet room. The lack of the fan cna be good for longevity too

Damn, this is hard for me because my budget can afford both, so logically I should go for the pro, but... As an uni student and visually inclined person, I love that the MacBook Air is thinner and lighter... Also, I'm not a fan of the touchbar, it seems glitchy and annoying. But I do like to game occasionally... Should I just get the macbook air with the better processor and higher ram and one of those cooling pads? ^^U

As a producer and artist, I can defiantly hear a difference between the mics, however the audio quality remains constant. The EQ of your voice is the major difference, since I find it slightly unpleasant to hear you speak from the Air mic due to the reason that it has a much boomier bottom end(around 200-300Hz) meanwhile the MacBook Pro has a much more balanced EQ. I am listening from my iMac 5K 2019 with speakers that have a huge bass responsiveness so maybe this wouldn't be very noticeable if people were listening with headphones or laptop speakers since they are usually less equalised in the same way as my iMac does. In short; maybe the difference would not be s huge as I hear depending on the device your viewers are using. Best Regards Garry

My sister has a MacBook Air and I was debating between a 14 inch or the 13 inch MacBook Pro, I ultimately decided to go with a 13 inch MacBook Pro. one is because I previously had the 2017 MacBook Pro with a really special snake skin that was rare so I figured that I get the 13 inch pro with the M1 to transfer the case over plus I’d like to Touch Bar the better battery life, The larger track pad, The fan for cooling, And the pro also has a more tactile feel for the keys than the air. The brightness is actually very noticeable as well. When I’m out in the morning doing my work my pro is always at peak brightness and to top it off, I got a $500 account so it was a no brainer. The purchase is all based on purpose, personal preference.

My battery just died today on my 2013 pro so off I went to Curry’s here in England with the intention of replacing it with an M1 Air. However, I ended up just replacing like for like and buying a new pro as a) My last one lasted nine years (it’s still working well kept plugged in); and b) Curry’s are selling the Pro for £1149 which swung me to just pick up a new one of those. I also think the touch bar looks quite cool! I’m hoping this one does another 9 years. If anyones wanting a new Air though, they are selling those at £887.
