The M3 MacBook Air "Problems" - Zweisprachige Untertitel
Apple launched their new M3 MacBook Airs.
There's a 13-inch model, and this here is their 15-inch model.
But being what many would argue to be the best laptop in this segment,
there were a lot of concerns and complaints that kind of bubbled up right at the announcement.
Like, when I tweeted about it,
They're just people that were,
I think,
that had legitimate concerns about it, but there's also stuff that seems a bit misguided, and I kind of want to go through it.
So, right off the rip, this is the M2 MacBook Air and a 13-inch model, and this is the M3.
And the Surface Anitization on the new M3 versions, at least in the darker colors, so the Midnight Color and the Space Black.
black are supposed to have this like seal to them like kind of coding over it
to prevent fingerprints or to kind of reduce the presence of fingerprints and
when I tested it on the space black model last year it seemed pretty
noticeable but for whatever reason I'll just demonstrate real quick so this is
the M21 when I smudge it around my nose and my face which is disgusting but the grease appears, right?
There's kind of smudges appear.
If I do the same thing on the new one,
I would have imagined that it would be much more reduced, but I feel like there's not much of a difference.
And I was surprised.
I mean, look at me.
rubbing laptops on my face here.
But I was surprised at how present these smudges were.
And I don't know if I got a lemon or something, but like when I try to clean it off, it seems just as smudgy.
So my impression is that it is slightly better than the non-sealed version,
but it's not like a fingerprint proof material, if that's what you're hoping for.
Okay, onto the actual meat of this video.
All right, first I wanna talk I think is the biggest change or update to the M3 product.
It's the ability for the M3 MacBook Air to be able connect to two external displays.
Now, to be able to pull this off, the has to be closed.
You use the built-in laptop screen.
It's just for connecting two screens.
it'll now work.
If you do want to use the built-in laptop screen,
you're back down to just one external display, just like the M1 and M2 MacBook Airs.
Now, when this feature was announced, I think a lot of people were disappointed because they were like, how is this announcement?
Like there are so many Windows laptops out there that can run three or four screens concurrently and even the previous generation of MacBook Airs,
like the Intel based ones, those could run two external screens with its internal laptop screen running.
Like what gives, what's going on here?
Well, I think it's just the nature of these chips.
These M1, M2, M3, like the base model of those chips, they've always only had one display controller that would handle the external displays.
It was just like one single controller that could handle a 6K output for externals.
Now on the M3 MacBook Air, I they're just rerouting the internal 5K display controller and just popping it out.
There's no like malice or like bizarre trickery going on.
That's just the nature of the hardware.
You cannot have more than those two displays running at any given time.
And I see the complaints, like that's just the way the hardware is.
Now, that being said, I think that there's some kind of trickery that was going on back in the day.
As in, when I think about what's happening here, it doesn't make sense for Apple to just give up.
free features like this.
That's just Apple's not in the business of doing that, right?
I think what happened is that Apple felt pressured to do this from the enterprise clients.
Like for a lot of people, I know several kind of high-end clients that purchase Apple hard work.
and they held back from Apple Silicon.
They to use their Intel based MacBooks because those things could run two external screens, no problem.
And think Intel banked on enterprise clients
to be able to just pay a premium and buy into that pro lineup to get that extra screen external stuff.
And I don't think people wanted to spend that money.
And I think Apple fell pressure, they're like, you know what?
I think we have to do this if we're going to get a lot of enterprise clients to switch over to Apple Silicon.
I think that's the only thing that makes sense to me.
Why else would they do this, right?
This seems too good for Apple's nature to be true, but I think it's a win.
I don't think it's perfect,
but having two external displays on an entry-level MacBook Air is not bad,
but you do need to have peripherals now connected to that device.
The second point of contention is the starting configuration of 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
I hate it.
Every time I see it, it bothers me.
Now, there's two issues at hand here.
First is the whole idea that the starting configuration is only 8GB of RAM, but the second issue is the price of the upgrades.
Now, I'm going to address the 8GB of I don't think that that number is terrible.
In sense that there are a ton of people,
I would say the vast majority of people that even consider this machine,
that would be perfectly good with 8GB of RAM for like five,
six years, and would never notice any difference in the workflow if they had 16GB of RAM.
I firmly believe that I've done a lot of I've shown it to you guys.
I think there's a lot of like,
Clickbait YouTube out there that tries to build the idea that you absolutely need 16 gigs of RAM,
but Ragebait doesn't take away from the reality of data.
If using it for regular use, 8 gigs of RAM is plenty for the vast majority of people.
But the other issue at hand is the cost of the upgrades.
And went behind this super sweaty conversation about RAM on a Macbook.
If it wasn't for the fact that they have crazy pricing for those upgrades.
Like go from 8 gigs of RAM to 16 is $200.
I actually think it's like five times the industry price for like RAM upgrades at this point.
But because it's all baked on, you have to make that decision upfront.
Now, if you think about the math, it's like literally 20% more money to go for an extra 8 gig.
So stupid, it like eats my soul every time I look at the configuration pricing, but I think there's a bit of a solution here.
I think for most people that are looking at that like the price configurator and they're like, wow, that is a stupid amount of money.
but usually you're like on a hard budget.
You're I have 1,100 bucks or like, whatever, 1,200 bucks and that's my limit.
Like, I don't want to go more than that.
So, like, what do I do?
And the, the simple solution this time is you don't get the M3 because they have great product, the M2, that's 100 bucks cheaper.
And you get it on refurb or used, it's even more.
You can get like 15, 20% off just by going to the previous generation.
And if you wanna save even more money,
the M1 MacBook Airs are even cheaper, which leads me to the conversation of that mild performance gain over the years from M1 to M3.
Cause that has been another complaint that we keep see popping up.
It's like, wow, these new chips aren't that much better.
Absolutely, they aren't.
But that's kind of a good thing, right?
When they released this M3 product, they have to reduce the price of the older one.
And the gains aren't massive, which they aren't, just buy the old one.
I think in all my years of doing YouTube,
I don't think I've ever made a video where I was like,
Don't buy the new one by the old one because that's normally like common sense, right?
You the best value the previous generation is always going to be that case
So I don't even with that
But in think in this particular timing of this time period because the M2 and M1s were so close in performance of the M3 and
They're that much cheaper and Apple has a refurb store which has like steeper discounts
It just doesn't make sense to buy the M3 products if you're on a tight budget unless you need the double external screen now
The same M1 have been limited.
The when it comes to graphics performance though is more noticeable.
It's just that it's quite dependent on the application that you're using.
Now the battery life on the M3 MacBook Air 15 was really similar to the M2 product from last year.
It's just that it seems to drain a little faster on heavier loads.
But I think in general when you look at Apple's website there's a reason why why why why there's a
they're comparing a lot of this performance on the M3 MacBook Air products to Intel products,
just because that's where you're gonna notice the biggest gains.
Now, in terms of gaming, this is a fanless system, right?
Keep that in mind.
This can run some pretty demanding games at lower settings, but in general, you're going to want to be playing some really light titles.
Now, the last I want to talk about real briefly is the mentioning of AI in Apple's marketing materials.
So,
They talked about running LLMs and diffusion models on the M3 MacBook Air,
and it's legit even though they don't use Nvidia's CUDA Apple silicon is fairly effective at handling that type of workflow.
Now just to wrap this off The internals of this device haven't changed, right?
Like I want to say internals I mean like the screen and the keyboard.
This is still a class leading keyboard The speakers are unchanged.
These sound really good especially for a device that's super thin like this on the screen It goes up to 500 nits.
This is a solid screen I mean obviously the exposure of the camera is kind of portraying a brighter image than it actually gets up to it is captain
matters to you.
It is like the thing that I believe Apple uses just kind of separate the pro products from the amateur products that refresh rate.
Okay, there you have it.
The M3 MacBook Air.
