Fast, quiet and light. Perfect for any task!

  • Not a fan, I'm definitely a fan of it!
  • 12 hours on one battery is just great!
  • Compiling code is much faster than the 2020 16 inch i9 Macbook Pro
  • Bootcamp to run Windows not possible
I have used Windows laptops for years. My previous one was a pretty big six-year-old thing that weighed about five kilos with a charger. It was a gaming beast (for the time). But in the long run I wanted something more compact, lighter and, above all, faster. After months of browsing YouTube and reading tech reviews, I finally settled on the Macbook Air M1, not the Pro. But the Air! In my opinion, the difference in performance compared to the Pro is really too small to justify the additional price. The screen is just as nice (100 nits less in brightness), the pro has better speakers and microphones (both don't bother me since I have to put on headphones for my work). And the Pro has the touchbar, which I personally don't see any added value in ;) Compiling code is incredibly fast on the Air. I am a software developer myself and I noticed with my old laptop that it could no longer keep up. Even the Air can be used for coding without any problems, which I personally think is a step forward compared to the older Airs with Intel processor. The Air starts up very quickly and has a great battery life of about twelve hours. I can just sit on the couch with this thing in the evening after I've worked for a day. I also think the design is a bit on the older side. It is a lot more modern than my old laptop so I have no complaints. But for people who have been running Macs for years, it's probably still too much of the same. I personally like the fact that there is no fan in the Air. Because the SoC in the device is passively cooled, you will not be bothered by the fact that your laptop takes off when, for example, you run Microsoft Teams together with other software on your laptop. I've never been so quiet in my room, all I hear is the noise from outside. I think that alone is a real plus. It is also still possible to run old applications made for Intel Macs through a software layer called Rosetta 2. You will lose a little bit of performance and interfaces will run slightly slower. But at the moment developers are busy transferring their software to M1 Macbooks. I also notice when I play a game like World of Warcraft, for example, that it still runs smoothly. You can also play other games made for iOS on this Macbook with a controller. These games also run very smoothly! I've only had the laptop for a few days now, but I really think it's a breath of fresh air. Nice and fast, all my software just works and it is very quiet. The only downside that I do regret is that I can't put Windows on it for some purposes. But I solved this myself with a remote desktop to my regular Windows PC. Personally, I did not opt for the entry-level model, but the more extensive 512GB with 16GB RAM variant because I get more out of my laptop if I can have more storage on it. After installing most of my programs (XCode, Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Azure Data Studio, etc.) and loading some projects, I finally came up with almost 100GB of storage. I would personally recommend opting for an upgraded Air instead of buying the Macbook Pro. You get a lot more value for your money in my opinion. :)

Come from a MacBook Pro from the year jug. The difference is like stepping from a fiat panda with 4 flat tires into Ferrari 612. What a speed, what a screen. awesome.

Have you been wanting a MacBook for a while? Then now is the

  • Apple M1 SOC
  • Keyboard
  • Display
  • X86 based software needs to be emulated
People who believe that Apple is no longer innovating have little understanding of computers. The switch to Apple silicon is a radical leap forward that cannot be overtaken by any of Apple's mainstream competitors for the time being. A number of advantages do not necessarily benefit everyone, but what everyone benefits from is the exceptional efficiency of the M1 chip, which results in an extremely long battery life. Long story short, a paradigm shift in the computing world.
