@v3zMedia3 years ago For the price of the MSI joint you can buy a Macbook Air M1, Mac Mini M1, and a iPhone or iPad. 😂 Times have changed. 583
@

@Garro03 years ago And now there is the 14/16 inch macbook pro. The era has changed, apple products have actually become value for money. 91
@

@rm-projects3 years ago Finally, a device that at the very least has a chance to compete. And it’s only about triple the price. 518
@

@shirintooylar3 years ago Man, these M1 Macs are blowing their competition out of the water. This MSI is literally 2.7 times as expensive as MBA 24

@saajith3 years ago sorry to break it to you guys but m1 macbook still wins in my books. 78

@

@afjkarey53663 years ago for years i was unhappy how my laptops performed. always thought a better more expensive machine would solve the problem. just recently i have realised that its the software design and user experience is what makes the difference. now using the cheapest mac on the market and i couldnt be happier. i will never return to windows. i would rather die. ... 121
@

@BennyTheChiller3 years ago The M1 MacBook Air is the base config is the ultimate Laptop because it's built to last, also thanks to passive cooling. It's my first Mac ever and I'm so happy that I got it for 970€ 82

@prajalrana54993 years ago that fact that M1X never came is quite funny. 2

@aliaswave3 years ago Now run Resolve and edit on the MSI on battery how long does the battery last? On the M1 Air I still get 6hrs of battery life. 45
@

@omarabdullahid3 years ago People: Please Apple your device is way too expensive, please release a new device at a lower price
Apple: Sorry, but we focus on quality rather than quantity. 2

@albert33163 years ago Seeing a windows machine brings backs painful memories, the ones with my dell xps 15 where I could toast an egg while working with a lawnmower noise in the background due to the fans. Memories of windows too, will all those horrible noises and interface designs that looked terrible. NEVER AGAIN. Thanks apple for making my life much easier with the M1 Macs♥️ ... 16
@

@londospark78133 years ago You mentioned some tasks that need more RAM to speed them up - do you have a 16GB M1 machine that you can compare against an 8GB one in some of those tasks? 41
@

@jakubpolkowski3 years ago Hi, why did You get rid of the thermal pads?
@

@viliambena67673 years ago I have legion 5 for gaming and m1 air for everything esle .. and no matter how you suger coat it the air m1 will get 3 times the battery life doing actual stuff, plus power bank can top it off in hour and a half .. so definitely good device ... 35
@

@tantani60783 years ago Can you compare the graphics of the M1 to some older graphics cards like the 1080? 1
@

@TrustedInsaller3 years ago On the last render, apple was using ProRes and the Intel laptop was using H.264 would that account for the difference in performance? Doesn't seem like an apples to apple comparison in my opinion. In my brief research, Prores doesn't have anywhere near the compression ratio of H.264. ... 2

@isiraarchana50793 years ago I like how people here argue saying "this is better that is better" like they are sales agents from respective companies trying to promote their brand
Lol 4
@

@Frostainum3 years ago Why did u got rid of Mac Air m1 thermal pads?
@

@mikeandersonwa3 years ago Honestly the fact that this is the base model with only a 7-core GPU... that's insane. I'm on the slightly upgraded 8-Core GPU/512GB SSD version of the Air and I'm still blown away by this laptop almost a year later. I'd say that PC is only worth it for a very small group of people, the real world performance differences to me didn't justify more than double the price. ... 2
@

@ronako23 years ago M1 is good for most people. However the graphics benchmark clearly shows M1 is still severely lacking in the graphics department which is why any reasonable gamer would still get a PC. 5
@

@leiflala3 years ago Using Divinci on the M1 instead of Final Cut is wild. It's even faster and less power hungry on final cut 6
@

@geordonworley56183 years ago I would really like it if some compilation benchmarks were included. Also, I know it is somewhat niche, but I would also like photogrammetry benchmarks if you would be open to it. For me, video and image editing isn't part of my typical workflow. ... 3
@

@LuisClement3 years ago Hey Max what do you use to see usage on the M1?
@

@dnizz3 years ago No thanks. Ill buy a macbook, iPhone, Apple watch and a good meal at a fancy restaurant. 2

And we all know the story.
DAVID WON.. 2
@

@zLusso3 years ago And the M1 chips are still complete animals, this shouldn’t even be close, but here we are 1
@

@TheOnlineCorner3 years ago The problem is the whole layer of virtualization that needs to be added to the M1 due to its inability to run for example games. But for everything else the M1 is a beast, love it! 8

@inwedavid69193 years ago difference plug in or not in windows is just a default settings, it can be change at anytime. Don't compare it as all windows user can modify it in a way or another, the question, can we modify it in Mac os too? 3
@

@jfftck3 years ago How about you play AAA games on them, too bad it would be a very short video since macOS doesn’t have that many games and most are older. 11
@

@FJA---3 years ago So, if I was to buy a $2,700 laptop and use it like it was a desktop it'll outperform a $1,000 MacBook Air.
That seems like a hell of a good buy, think I'll take 2 of them. One to use cordless while the other one charges. ... 7

@Open6a-fx4qf3 years ago Now they gonna find other way to mock apple, “not in price and performance way” LoL 1
@

@rustik60963 years ago Lmao if it’s this expensive just to compete with the m1 chips imagine how other computers would have to compete with the m1x! 21

@mrquackface3 years ago I would like to see you compare the m1 with the Asus tuf f15 2021with i7 11800 rtx3060 1

@hahahahahahahaha66823 years ago GPU usage is 28% only not 44%
that is of UHD graphics

@andrupka87493 years ago Geekbench does not indicate real usage sadly 😔. It is the most synthetic benchmark ever. 1

@

@roguewavecreative3 years ago for this price I was able to get a m1 mba 8 /7 with 16gb memory and an imac 8/8 with 16gb of memory. As a graphic designer Adobe pretty much has everything at M1 compatible (I think After Effects is the hold out) and it is running great. TBH I might be interested in m1x but really in what I am doing I can not imagine needing more power. As the software catches up to the hardware things will only get faster and cleaner. The future proofing situation seems a bit off at this point. I am interested in the m2? orange macbook(air)? to match my imac. M2 will be a nice bump. Also using that ipad pro as a second monitor is so nice when traveling or even using with the imac for email or documents. I am always either impressed are wondering how people use two-three monitors when working. I have tried it and it lways overwhelms me. Using one big screen along with desktops always does it for me. ... 2

@mr.noname94163 years ago imagine the chip being named M2 1
@

@EnochGitongaKimathi3 years ago The M1 is on TSMC 5nm while Tigerlake is on Intel 10nm Superfin.
I can't wait for AlderLake because of its x86_64 hybrid nature it will compete better with Apple's heterogeneous Arm architecture. Eventually we will have 6 Performace Cores and 32 Efficiency Cores ... 5

@maicon_133 years ago Is the m1x logo not trademarked or anything like that?
@

@harshdeepsingh54273 years ago Will the MBA get M1X? .. or a chassis redesign?? 2
@

@alexatkin3 years ago The more of these you do, the more its obvious the M1X is going to be a monster, at least on the CPU.
I've actually been impressed with all the RTX 3060 laptops Iv'e seen so far, they don't seem to lose as much performance on the GPU at least when unplugged. Of course that's kinda worthless with the battery life issue. ... 58
@

@phenixnunlee3723 years ago I want to point out that the macbook pro has 8GB of the fastest most high bandwidth ram in the world. So it actually has better ram. 2

@sebast25303 years ago Macbook Air M1, is the best option, due to its low price. 2
@

@ariesleo73963 years ago apple: netherite axe (m1)
intel: totem of undying (11th-gen chips)
apple: instant damage 2 (m1x) 5
@

@jasjeetsingh14013 years ago Lets not forget that the memory and ram on Mac is so expensive, if you want something usable, youd be much better off with a windows device such as the G14 or M16... Unless battery life is something you want... 2
@

@slowercuber77673 years ago Given that the MSI draws up to five or ten times the wall power used by the MBA, I sure hope its faster at some things, especially as I'd expect the M1 to be no more than 3 or 4 times more efficient than the Intel+NVidia team. ... 2

@pouriyamehr3 years ago Razer blade 15 mid 2021 core i9 11900h model has multi score

@JifferRiffic3 years ago Hey I have a real serious question for all. I have a MacBook Air M1. I’m on the current version of macOS (NOT A BETA) over the past week my web browsers have just been not responding anymore. Safari, Chrome, Brave, Fire Fox, they work for a while but, now they give me using too much system memory errors. This will happen with just one browser open with one tab, nothing else running in background. I’ve also noticed apps are starting to run into errors as well. Not sure what’s going on.. just feeling to see if anyone else experienced these issues on the M1 Air. Thanks in advance. ... 5

@

@DenisasPupkevicius3 years ago Little bit misleading. Put 16gb of ram and 1tb of storage to macbook pro m1 and you'll have 1900$ plus all the extras/adapters you need to buy to run all of your accessories and the margin between the price not so big anymore. ... 1

@MrSaifkamal3 years ago Not even a competition tbh. M1 Air is 1/3rd the price of MSI with 1/3rd or 1/4th of the specs/configuration. It would've been embarrassing for MSI if it didn't match or topple the M1 1

@slowercuber77673 years ago better to compare the MSI to a Jade C-DIe M1X with comparable memory. I'd like to see that comparison. Regardless, my money will be spent on the M1X MBP 16" configured to 64GB (if available), 4TB SSD and 32 GPU cores. ... 1

@dontwatchmydoomvideos3 years ago Wait so for a 3060 which is next to bottom tier new gen GPU and is worse in almost every way than the 1080ti from 2017, along with only a 120hz panel in QHD which I had on my laptop from 2015, some good ram, and a CPU that matches a notebook's cpu performance, they expect you to pay $2699? ...
