So then guys today what i want to show you is the best macbook money can buy in 2022 in my opinion
and what i mean by this i mean the best bang for your buck as it were so this is the best
performance and features in a macbook for your money right now of course the best macbook out
there is the macbook pro 16-inch because it's got the bigger screen you can get the m1 max in it get
the highest amount of ram the highest amount of storage it's going to be the best but like i said
i want to show you the best one that you can get right now so i'm going to reveal what this macbook
is so can i have a drum roll please and it's this it's an m1 macbook air and whatever you do do not
stop the video right now because i want to explain to you why this macbook air is definitely the best
one for your money right now before switching over to looking up some macbook pros to 14 inch and 16
inch four example and the best way first of all let's have a look at the design of this macbook
air so the actual design of this macbook air was actually revealed in 2018 as the third generation
macbook design on it you've got things like a retina display you've also got the fantastic new
magic keyboard was absolutely brilliant and you've also got that force trackpad as well
with those sort of haptic feedbacks inside it was brilliant to use and also it's really really large
other features on this macbook air is you've also got two usb ports on it or usb-c ports and on that
it allows you to charge your macbook and also you can use those thunderbolt ports inside those usbc
what a thunderbolt 4 or usb4 now first of all i know what you're going to say that isn't a lot
of ports actually on this macbook air but in all things considering i know you've got the 14 inch
and 16 inch macbook pros will give you that sd card slot an extra usb c port and also give you
that hdmi port but you can always buy yourself one of these and it's a dongle and i know they don't
look the best hanging off this but for what like i'm going to show in a minute the price of this
macbook air and buying one of these is far cheaper than buying yourself the cheapest 14 inch macbook
pro out there just to get those couple more ports you better find this say about 30 25 pounds or so
it's far far better something else what makes this macbook absolutely remarkable it's got to
be that chip underneath inside it so the chip inside this is the m1 chip now the m1 chip i'm
going to show you some performance benchmarks in a second is absolutely unbelievable no matter
what you throw at it as daily tasks it can hack through it no problems it doesn't care
at all so much so that apple decided that because of daily tasks was going to be a breeze on this
macbook they didn't even put a fan in it because they knew that the chip wouldn't get overheated
and it would be able to cope with kind of your daily kind of work and some of those works i can
also shout out there it's including doing some photo editing or some video editing with some
4k video i want to show you some benchmarking on in a minute to show how good this macbook air is
but it is truly a remarkable device and it still does look absolutely beautiful in 2022 and it's
super super thin in fact look at my finger next to it here that is how thin this macbook air is it's
absolutely amazing something else what is amazing about this macbook air is to do with its battery
life this macbook air you can get up to 17 hours of battery out of there and that 14 inch macbook
pro you can get up to 18 hours and to be honest it's very very similar but if that fan did kick
in that 14 inch macbook pro for example probably the battery would be worse than this macbook air
that you're seeing right here so to be honest it swings around because they're almost neck and neck
and something else what makes this macbook absolutely remarkable it's got to do with
its actual charger the charge you actually get in the box only a 30 watt charger you heard me
right 30 watts that's because the m1 chip is so efficient right now i'm sure there's phones out
there and i'm sure that some of those android ones they come with a 45 watt or they also come with
for example like 100 watt charger inside the box to get you know your phone charged up within say
half an hour well the 30 watt charger for this one can charge my macbook air that i have right here
from about three percent battery all the way up to about 93 95 in just over two hours now that is you
know four times as long as 30 minutes but you've got to remember the batteries inside this are way
bigger than what you get inside a traditional mobile phone or smartphone so yeah it is really
really amazing but i know what you're here for you're probably wondering why i'm banging on about
this macbook air and why you should definitely get it and i've not even shown you how good it
is in performance well let me show you why it's so good in performance and the best way to do that is
to show you a chart with this macbook air the 14 inch macbook pro the eight core version with the
14 core gpu and also i'm going to compare the 16 inch macbook pro with the intel i9 inside the last
generation macbook pro with a dedicated graphics card well let's have a look at some charts well
first of all let's start with some geekbench scoring and let's first we'll start with the
single core score and at the very bottom you can see that 16 inch macbook pro with the i9 it was
an eight core processor and it got really really hot but just above that you've got the macbook air
and inside that you've got that m1 chipset and that m1 chipset in single core performance is 36
more efficient was absolutely amazing and just above that you also have the macbook pro 14-inch
the eight-core version and the single core scores only two percent to be honest if you
did it in a different environment if i did another check again probably the macbook air
could even possibly overtake that 14-inch map pro they're basically neck and neck there is
no difference there in single core but moving on to multi-core this is where things change a bit
again at the bottom you've got the 16-inch macbook pro and then above that you've got
the macbook air and the macbook air is actually faster than the 16 inch macbook pro about eight
percent what's absolutely amazing the macbook air right now starts out at a thousand us dollars
whereas this macbook pro started out at about three thousand two hundred dollars
or three thousand five hundred dollars i can't remember the exact amount but you get your idea
over three times more in cost just two years ago was absolutely amazing that the macbook
air can give you this performance for this kind of price right now it's absolutely truly
remarkable and then the thing i think is even more interesting is the multi-core of the m1
macbook pro the 14-inch one and you can see here with this you actually get an increase of 22
and to be honest that's not even a quarter more that's just only you know it's just 22 it's not
going to make a huge difference yeah that macbook pro costs 2 000 it starts at over 2 000 so it's
more in money and yeah you can get the m1 macbook air and it costs far less and it's absolutely
amazing for that have a look at this cinebench score next of all 16-inch macbook pro at the top
this time that intel i9 one comparing it to the m1 you actually get a 36 increase in speed was truly
amazing and then with the 14 inch macbook pro one percent hardly anything not even worth talking the
same basically but that's a 36 increase and like i said on the last one i think we had like 32
increase you get the idea it's in the 30s it's a third more faster this m1 chipset to that intel
macbook pro but then looking at the multi-core for cinebench the 16-inch macbook pro the intel i9 is
actually slightly faster by six percent compared to the m1 chipset but then if you compared
the m1 chipset to the m1 pro with the eight cores inside it the macbook pro then basically
you can see there is a bit of a difference here you actually get a 22 increase again but still
that's very similar to what we got on geekbench again not even a quarter more performance so you
can see why i'm banging on saying the macbook air is absolutely amazing and i want to show you this
again in doing final cut pro so what i did was i fired up final cut pro and i exported a video what
was a 10 bit 4k video and it was 15 minutes long and look at the speeds how long it took to export
in reverse order we've got the macbook pro i9 it took 7 minutes 19 seconds to export what's
quite fair to be honest in 2022 that's okay but i will say that macbook pro was super hot the
fans were wearing and it was really going for it to export it then we have the macbook air next
of all remember there's no fan inside this and it wasn't getting hot at all got a bit warm you know
it was you could put your finger on it you could rest your hands on it it was not boiling hot but
yeah it exported this video in six minutes 11 seconds and then afterwards you do have the m1
14 inch macbook pro the eight core version and it exported the video in five minutes 34 seconds and
to be deadly honest there isn't much in it between that macbook air and also that macbook pro 14 inch
with the m1 pro 8 core we're talking like about 30 just over 30 seconds difference to export it yeah
there's a thousand dollar price difference between these macbooks and that is absolutely incredible
when you really think about it something else was incredible is what's happening on this channel
right now and that is i'm doing a giveaway for this it's for an iphone 13 pro max a silver white
256 gigabyte model and i'm doing an international giveaway of this iphone and if you want to be in a
chance to get your hands on this iphone 13 pro max all i'd love to know from you guys is put
down in the comments below what apple gear what technology gear you're planning to buy in 2022
and when we get over 350 000 subscribers i'm going to be announcing who the winner is and i'll be
making a video about that but if you're brand new here and you've never seen a video of mine
make sure you subscribe to the channel and also hit that notification bell because you'll want
to get a notification of when that video comes out so make sure you do that right now now something
else i just do want to quickly mention there are some scammers there are some spammers some of them
are impersonating me saying to telegram you to whatsapp you this is not me ignore them like i
said i will be making a video when we get over 350 000 subscribers not before i will not be telling
you our winner until at least that stage so ignore them or report them with that out of the way let's
talk a little bit more about the macbook air and i'm just going to go and grab it so i've talked
about the actual performance i've talked about the design and why i think it's absolutely amazing
next of all i want to talk about the price now the price like i've said in my performance sort
of geek benches and all of those sort of bits and pieces i said it started at a thousand dollars
but the thing is you can actually pick up these macbook airs for far less if you do shop around
in fact recently i made a video showing how you can get an m1 macbook pro on my macbook
air for far less for basically 40 off if you buy it second hand and to be honest this is exactly
what i've got here i got this macbook air with an eight um counter on the cycle of the battery and i
also got still three months warranty also inside this macbook air right now so it's absolutely
incredible that i have got this and i managed to get this for 580 pounds was basically 42 off the
original price new but if you do want to get it new you can still get some good deals out there
i just went on to amazon just to have a look right now and i can see you can get 11
off the macbook air and like i said if you shop around you might get some emails coming in if
you signed up to some tech sort of people and you can probably get this macbook air for even
less than that you could potentially get up to probably 20 off this macbook air brand new and
it is definitely worth it compared to the likes of say the 13 inch macbook pro because with that
all you're getting over this macbook air is a touch bar it's kind of been faded away it was
a gimmick and even apple are recognizing it needs to disappear and also at the same time you get a
fan inside it what could actually probably drain the battery a little bit more if you were using
that fan quite often but really that is it the difference between the macbook air and also the
macbook pro you're basically paying for that touch bar and basically put that fan inside it
the ports are the same everything else is the same and to be honest the macbook air is also thinner
and lighter but i definitely do prefer the other thing as well is that the 14 inch macbook pro
yes it costs a thousand more dollars but with that main things you're getting is that m1 pro chipset
was only slightly more fast as as you've seen in the performance you do get the mini led display
you do get a larger display as well but in the grand scheme of it for a thousand dollars more
or even like i said even if you managed to get 20 of one of these brand new i can't really justify
it and as you can see by the geekbench scores and all of those cinebench scores and everything
else like that you can see that the macbook air is definitely a worthy buy in 2020. 2022
now one thing i do want to just chip in there is a lot of you are saying well matt there's no point
getting this map for air because we've got the m2 macbook airs and mac m2 macbook pro possibly
coming out in 2022 but all i will say to that is definitely with the macbook air it's going
to be a redesigned model and when apple like to make a redesigned model that does mean the price
will go up so i personally believe that the new macbook air will not cost a thousand us dollars
i think it will cost more than that because of the redesign and yet probably most likely that
m2 chipset inside the macbook air will probably only be between about 10 to 25
more faster so a maximum of quarter faster and i don't even do that it's not often that happens so
again this macbook air is definitely worth getting the m1 definitely 2022 if you want the best value
for money with performance so i would definitely definitely look at getting into it because it is
such a good macbook well guys with that out of the way it's time to wrap up this video so if
