    Ive had mine for about a month now and couldn't be happier, the weight, the battery, the performance. I am quite glad I got the 16 gb model though
  • @agnostos63
    Midnight color matches your room very well!
  • i'm a virtual trainer that uses a M3 macbook air 13" and LOVE IT! I live on Zoom and Facetime and social media and it definitely opens apps and works so amazing!!
  • @RDCCC
    Great! Just ordered. Your videos so great šŸŽ‰
  • @JAH1139
    Best way to start a Friday! I've always wanted to have a temp monitoring app on my MacBook, thanks for the recommendation.
  • @RichardAllum
    Love my Air. Have your wallpaper too and it looks great.
  • @tonystarkmowa
    after watching your video i brought the macbook air m2 15 a year ago and now the price of this m3 air is same as my m2
  • @oggiezwork
    I use the M3 Macbook Pro 14" 18GB RAM been using it for a few weeks now and coming from a ThinkPad T470 and the Macbook Pro 2017 Touchbar this thing is an absolute beast. The one thing I can't get over is the screen. The deep blacks is something I've never seen before. Fantastic stuff.
  • Thanks for the video, I always enjoy them. I am rockinā€™ the M1 MacBook Air with 16 gigs ram and 512 gig SSD and it serves my needs for now. It is a nice machine. Have a good time on holiday!
  • Just bumped up to an 15ā€ M3 MBA from an M1, I got $555 USD trade in value and bought the M3 certified refurbished. Iā€™m a video editor and I have a Studio M1 Ultra and really wanted something light and easy for editing on the couch where I can get away with it and all my personal stuff. I absolutely could have gone for a MBP for the price but I kept coming back to that lightweight MBA design. Hasnā€™t failed me so far and the extra screen feels super luxurious.

    Dope video ma brotha. Iā€™m also using an M3 Air as my main machine. It still crushes my SLOG3 footage and everything in between.
  • @bryans8656
    I may have overspent but I opted for the base M3 Pro MBP 14 several months ago, and I haven't regretted it. I use it as my desktop computer, plugged in to the usual peripherals, when I'm home and it's easy to grab and go when I head out on a road trip.

    I have had the 15" version with the same spec since it was launched and absolutely love it. I am so glad I went for the starlight colour, no marks like your colour way and warmer than silver or grey. The best thing though is the silence! I have had zero problems with heat.
  • Thanks for the comprehensive review. My patterns seem nearly identical to yours. Lots of photo/video/design (FCP, LR, PS) enthusiast work coupled with traditional work apps . The question I have is do you at all wish youā€™d have upgraded to 24GB RAMā€¦or would that be overkill for your workflow? šŸ™
  • I love my MBA 15 inch. I have the base model. I donā€™t edit video, maybe a picture or two a week when Im bored. I mostly watch YouTube, do research on topics i want to learn about, Notion. I do type a lot throughout the day mostly because I just enjoy it. I have an M4 13 inch pro that i pick up when I want to draw or use Notability and Freeform. But i prefer to use the air to watch movies and even using it just feels so much better. I only really like the iPad because it has cellular. Other than that I donā€™t think I would ever even pick up the iPad.

    I am doing my BA in Fine Art and I have a MB Air M2 base model. Although, the performance of Adobe stuff isn't amazing but I have just purchased the new M4 iPad Pro as well having a base model iMac M3. I'm not really complaining as I am fortunate to have these computers. However, your video was really interesting and formative - thank you!
  • @ilaws
    I have my M3 MBA for a couple months now and still obsessed. I'm getting into photography and was a bit paranoid about performance however running Pixelmater Pro is a breeze with no issues whatsoever.
