14:06 Conclusion: What Would I Buy?
I’m going to go over quite a few topics. I’ll try my best to make your life as easy as possible for you and timestamped all the topics below already. But we’ll talk about the MacBook airs, pros, their screen sizes, storage, ram, accessories, and my own personal picks of what I’d recommend based on budget and needs.
Okay. So this has everything I learned after owning quite a few macbooks, and most of the Apple silicon lineup. I hope you find this information useful in some way, and I’d love to know what you think. After this, what are you thinking about getting? Did this breakdown guide you to that decision in any way? Let me know in the comment section below!

SOOOO helpful. I was overwhelmed when I opened the Mac site to decide on which model to purchase and in less than 20 minutes, you made my decision crystal clear--MacBook Air M3 with 16 MB minimum and a GAN charger. Thanks so much.
-
100% with you Jimmy! The 14" M3 Pro MBP is the sweet spot in my world.
-
Newest MacBook Pro with 16 RAM and 1 T of storage is $2000. A great deal that will be top quality in 8 years.
-
Yes, this video did help me decide which MacBook to get. I got the MacBook Pro M3 Pro chip with 36 GB and 512 SSD.
-
Great overview. Very helpful and excellent comparisons. Well done!👍👍👍
-
Thank you so much!! Soon to be college grad here who needs to move on from my 2020 8gb ram MacBook Pro and you helped me out a ton
-
Thank you a really useful breakdown guide on the MacBook range, I really wanted the Air for the lightness but have gone for the 16” M3 Max 64GB Ram for the speed and extra ports, it severely made me broke, but it just means I got to get some more £££ in and hopefully with a faster machine I will!

M1 air refurbished through apple with 16GB memory and 512GB SSD is $1099 which I was considering but I ended up going with open box good condition base M1 Air Gold from Best Buy for $605. It's in perfect condition and I'm only using this for taxes, typing long emails, Figma in browser, making invitations for parties and light stuff I don't want to use my iPad on and it's been amazing. I use my company issued laptop 16" M2 Max with 64GB memory for engineering work and that thing is way too overpowered and heavy for what I do in my personal life. Great content!

Fantastic Video. I just purchased a Mac book pro 14 inch for my wife . Got the Demo with a bunch of upgrades and extended warranty for. $1237.00
-
Very helpful and insightful video! Thank you very much
-
Thank you for the breakdown! My MacBook starting to sputter and beach ball more often so I'm in the market for new! I will go with the pro at the top of line
-
Excellent video Jimmy, could I ask what are you better upgrading? The chip or memory?
-
Thank you - you've confirmed my decision to go for a refurbished M2 macbook air with 16GB RAM and 512 GB SSD (in excellent condition and for less than the basic M3 model)
-
Thanks for the lineup review and recommendations. I purchased a refurb'd M1 Pro MBP 14 (16GB/1TB) last July and for me it is the perfect travel device. Regarding external storage, I picked up a trick several years ago when I transitioned (mostly) from Windows. I format the drives with exFAT so that I can read and write to them from either my Macs or my Windows gaming computer.
-
Many stores in China can do storage expansion, for air it's like 1000 to 2TB, for Pro it's about 1800 yuan to 2TB. If your macbook is already out of warranty, it makes sense to do it.
-
No one talk about the speakers much but the MBP M3 speakers are much better for content consumers than the Air and has a better screen. Sure you can use a Bluetooth speaker but is something else to carry around. I do some image editing on my M3 it does fine. Knowing what I know now I probably would have gotten the M3 Pro for future proofing.
-
I have M1 Air with 8GB memory and 512GB SSD, and keep changing my mind because I am also high school student, who uses lightroom, photoshop, and blender. This is why I keep changing my mind. The price difference between M3 Air 15 and 14 inch m3 with 16GB is close. What should I choose? Should I go for the long run or just upgrade whenever I need to?
-
15” Air, choosing between refurbished M2 24gb/2TB or new M3 16Ram/1tb. Thoughts please?
-
I just bought a starlight 15 inch Macbook Air with 16 gigs of ram and 1 terra drive. I like having 2 monitors hooked up to my laptop at home, and when I am away I can use a split screen on the 15 inch built in display. Downside, almost $2800.00cdn...

Do the MacBook Pro M3 Pro models need to have the lid closed when outputting to 2 external displays?
