So then guys what a great time to be alive I just managed to get 40 off the macbook air
and also the macbook pro and both of these models are the current m1 chipset macbook air
and also the macbook pro want to know how I managed to get 40
off both of these models well let me tell you my story how I managed to do it
Hi Guys it's Matt here, so that's right I managed to acquire a macbook air we're getting 40 off
it and this is the one that apple sell right now the current macbook air with an m1 chipset
inside it and like i said you'll probably want to know how i managed to get 40 off the original
retail price and i actually managed to get this for around 580 pounds so right now in the uk to
buy the macbook air it actually cost a thousand pounds so i managed to get over 40 percent in
fact i managed to get 42 off this macbook air and let me explain how i managed to do this
so recently on my channel if you didn't know already i recently managed to catch covid you
know it was going to be inevitable i was going to catch it but after that while i
was sitting in bed and getting better i decided just to scan around on ebay
and while i was on ebay i actually managed to find some new macbook airs or some pre-owned
ones as well and one of the macbook airs that came up was exactly this model that i'm holding
right here and as you can see by this listing it was a really really good price and also there was
this discount code where i managed to get it even cheaper so with combined postage i could get this
macbook air with an m1 chipset for 580 pounds now the listing did seem fine there seems to be some
good pictures on there the actual macbook came with the box the charger everything and that's
what you can see right here so i was really really happy with what i was seeing also the fact as well
the reason why it was being sold is basically it was a university graduate or university person
who basically bought himself a macbook air wasn't getting along with it and has decided to switch to
windows so i decided to take the risk buy it as i was recovering and then guess what it's coming the
post and it is absolutely amazing after signing in for the first time i decided to do a check
on the battery counter on the cycle amount and i could not believe my eyes look at this it's only
had eight cycles then on top of this as well i went to check the warranty and as you can see here
the warranty isn't up till june at the time of making this video it is february time so i could
not believe it that i've got that much warranty still i've still got five months warranty left
on this macbook air and i managed to get 40 off the original price that on top as you can
see here i got the box i got the charger i got everything with it was absolutely astonishing
what you've got to remember is that this macbook air is only 15 months old when i mean 15 months
old it only came out from apple november 2020 that was 15 months ago and yet i managed to get this
40 off the original price if i was to buy it brand new now straight away i know what you guys are
probably saying well matt you haven't got the full warranty and you haven't bought it directly from
apple but at the end of the day guys isn't that like worth the trade-off to get 40
off this you know you can't do that's unheard of to get a macbook air with some warranty still
left on it with 40 off that is a bargain buy right out there and that is why it decides to get this
macbook air but it's not just the macbook airs either i actually decided since then to go on ebay
and have a look at macbook pro so the m1 macbook pros the 13-inch models so as i was scrolling
through i suddenly realized that the macbook pros were going for 800 pounds or if you use
one of the ebay vouchers that were available right now you can actually pick these up for 760 pounds
that is over 41 of the original retail price so the original retail price of a macbook pro 13 inch
starts at 1 000 300 pounds or 1299 pounds 99 pence to be absolutely precise but to get it at 41 off
it's absolutely incredible so you can guess what i did i decided to purchase myself a macbook pro
m1 as well now i want to tell you why it's a great time to buy yourself one of these macbook pros or
a macbook air right now and i want to tell you the reasons with some benchmarks but just before
i do that what i want to quickly talk about today is the giveaway on this channel and that giveaway
is for this it is for an iphone 13 pro max in a silver white color there's a 256 gigabyte model
and i'm going to be doing an international giveaway to give this iphone 13 pro max to

because when we get over 350 000 subscribers i'll be notifying the winner of who's got their hands
on this iphone 13 pro max via a video and you'll want to get that notification for that video
now quickly i have said this already before there are a lot of scammers there are a lot of spammers
and some nasty people out there who are trying to take money off you these are not me these people
are out there impersonating me telling you to whatsapp them you've won a prize there's all
this kind of rubbish they even use my picture this is not me if you get one of these messages ignore
them or report them to youtube well with that out of the way let's go on then and have a look
at the benchmarks for the m1 chipset and compare it to the likes of say the 16 inch macbook pro
with the i9 chipset inside it and also the 14 inch macbook pro with the m1 pro chipset inside
it with the eight cores with that this is the bin version so let's start with having a look at some
geekbench scores now straight away what you'll notice is that with the m1 14 inch macbook pro
like i said this is the eight core version this is the bin down version it's missing two cpu cores
and also it's also got only got the 14 cores of the gpu inside it so it is far less than the kind
of standard 10 core version what you can get out there but enough of that this is basically the 2
000 pounds in the uk macbook pro you can also guess it for like the equivalent price in the
states and like in india and all loads of other countries i can list every single country in the
world but at that time for that but the point is it's that version of it and i'm comparing that
against the macbook air m1 chipset what you can find inside the likes of the 13-inch macbook
pro as well the only main addition is you get that touch bar and you also get the fan that's probably
about it really and also i'm going to be comparing it against the older 16-inch macbook pro with the
i9 chipset inside it and you'll see why that is in the moment once we've completed the benchmarks
now as you can see here with the single core score compared the 14 inch macbook pro with that eight
cores of course setup to the standard m1 chipset you can see there's only a two percent difference
in single core performance it is absolutely nothing so to be honest there's no point even
comparing that but where the comparison does come about is definitely to do with that m1 chipset
compared to the single core speed or basically the actual scoring against the i9 macbook pro
as you can see there is a 36 increase in just single core performance was absolutely incredible
and then if we move over to multi-core now you can see there's some big changes here as well
so the main thing i want you to take away from these charts is the actual differences in speed
of the multi-core performance so in a moment i'm going to show you the price of the 16-inch macbook
pro and how much you can buy one of those with an i9 chipset inside it and remember this was the
crown jewel macbook pro up until about you know 18 months ago or so until m1 came along and that's a
good point because look at the macbook air here in multi-core performance it's actually eight percent
faster than the crown jewel macbook pro that existed 18 months ago that is absolutely crazy
then on top of that as well if you look at this chart you can see that their 14-inch macbook pro
with that eight-core setup is only 22 faster than the m1 chipset that's not even a quarter
more faster and yet remember that 14 inch macbook pro brand new right now starts at 2 000 pounds or
around about 2 000 and that is really really a lot of money compared to where you can get
yourself a macbook air for about a thousand dollars or a thousand pounds half the price
and that is remember brand new so let me show you the 16 inch macbook pro with the i9 sort of core
chipset inside and how much that costs and you'll see why getting yourself a macbook air or 13-inch
macbook pro with an m1 chipset is definitely worth getting right now so scanning around on ebay
you can see that the 16 inch macbook pro with an i9 chipset inside it it's starting around
about 1 300 pounds was quite a lot when you think about it especially in the fact when
we've just seen those charts just there that you can pick yourself up like the likes of a
macbook air or the macbook pro like i have right here and the performance is almost identical yeah
you can get it far far cheaper like i said you can get a macbook air for around 580 pounds almost 600
pounds and the same with the macbook pro you can get that for under 800 pounds and like i said if
you shop around on ebay just ebay for example in the likes of say in america or in the likes of say
india for examples for rupees and for dollars it's almost the same you're guessing around about 40
sort of discounts out there right now so it's definitely definitely a good time to buy
now a lot of you might also be saying well matt the m2 macbook pro and the m2 macbook air
might be coming very very soon now this is true we're expecting the m2 chips at the end of 2022.
but to be deadly honest with you the actual performance increase we're going to see on
m2 over m1 probably won't be huge i'm going to be talking like about a 20 kind of increase
on what we get right now that or maybe 30 and absolute push it's not going to be a huge amount
compared to the likes of when we actually had the intel macbook air and then went on to the
m1 chipset we saw an increase of somewhere like around 200 300 percent so you can see that's a
massive massive difference between 200 and 300 compared to the likes of say about 20 you're not
really going to see much in it the other thing as well what i want to point out is the likes of the
m1 chipset is going to be supported for many many years to come and when i mean many many years to
come i'm talking at least for the next five to six years you're going to get that support if
you bought one of these right now was absolutely incredible also don't think just because they got
an m1 chipset inside it they don't have the m1 pro or the m1 max that they are really really sluggish
at the end of the day like i said comparing them to the 16 inch macbook pro that i9 chipset we were
using that for final cut pro we were using that for premiere for photoshop lightroom and yet the
m1 chipset is almost matching that or sometimes actually beating the performance in that chipset
and can do those tasks really well and will do for many many years to come if you're just
editing some video footage of say a small little vlog camera or say off your iphone for example
in final cut pro you can have no problems at all the same with photo editing if you're just
editing some photos on the fly no problems at all in photoshop or in lightroom if you're editing say
hundreds of videos if you're editing 8k footage at 120 frames per second constantly
yeah maybe you might need the m1 pro or the m1 max chipset but for most people out there the m1
chip is going to be absolutely fine for you i'm putting these down because holding both of these
is really really heavy to be deadly honest but i'd say right now it's definitely time to go and get
your macbook discount right now go out there look them up on ebay right now because there's some
great great deals out there well guys it's also time to wrap up this video so if you have enjoyed
