WEBVTT 00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:07.560 the MacBook Air is fantastic look at this thing it is so thin it is super 00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:12.599 duper light it is very well built and for an Apple product it isn't even all 00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:16.800 that expensive but what if instead oh here we have the new Macbook Air 15 inch 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:22.740 and it is well it's still very well built but it is expensive it is quite 00:00:19.740 --> 00:00:24.660 light but very heavy and uh I don't 00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:29.660 think it's any more powerful why did they make this well let's have a look 00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:32.759 all right I think you can only buy 00:00:29.660 --> 00:00:34.980 which charger did we get uh they got the 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:39.480 dually Okay so it sven's currently cheering because we 00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:44.520 got the dual power brick right here you have two 35 watt Chargers don't get this 00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:48.059 one I really think that you'll be better off if you get the 70 watt one well 00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:52.620 because then you know you can charge your laptop just about twice as fast and 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:56.640 if you really need to plug in two things instead of plugging in like here and 00:00:54.420 --> 00:01:01.140 here you can plug in your laptop to the 75 Watts then just plug in your phone to 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:04.440 your laptop that's probably fine at least they gave us this though they 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:11.540 don't do that with the new iPhones let's see what else is in here 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:11.540 oh who wants an apple sticker 00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:18.060 hell yeah thanks Apple 00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:23.040 there we go we also have our nice little magsafe charging cable and depending on 00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:27.960 which one you get this does have different colors and it looks friggin 00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:31.860 sweet in the dark one now uh oh my God yeah what I noticed when I took it out 00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:36.780 of the box is that this thing's half a chunk all right here we have an M2 air 00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:44.280 this right here comes in at 2.7 pounds that's really good for 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:47.579 reference HP dragonfly 2.8 very similar 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:49.939 that is great 14-inch MacBook Pro this 00:01:47.579 --> 00:01:55.619 is the M1 model 3.5 pounds so what do you think guys 00:01:53.820 --> 00:01:59.460 where do we want this to land three pounds I think if this is like 2.9 I'll 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.140 be really happy it's not I can tell you it's not 00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:09.720 3.3 pounds that's uh that's getting 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:14.580 pretty up there for something with the air name like it is really really thin 00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:20.940 like oh can you see that it is quite thin but at the same time it is not as 00:02:18.239 --> 00:02:27.420 light as I was hoping In fairness to Apple the surface laptop 15 inch comes 00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:29.400 in at 3.4 pounds so they do have them 00:02:27.420 --> 00:02:35.099 beat there and if we're honest probably in every other area although 3.3 pounds 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:39.420 isn't great in the past if you wanted to go for a nice large display on an Apple 00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:47.640 device you had to get this guy right here the 16 inch which comes in at 00:02:43.260 --> 00:02:50.580 oh 4.77 pounds that's a yeah that's 00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:54.480 heavy and the only thing that is heavier than this is the weight of the check 00:02:52.440 --> 00:02:58.560 that you have to write to get it all right let's have a little look at the 00:02:55.980 --> 00:03:07.019 different sizes here so we've got the 15 inch air we have the nice 14 inch pro 00:03:03.260 --> 00:03:10.680 and the 13 inch air which is more like 00:03:07.019 --> 00:03:13.560 just a 14 inch device really it is quite 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:17.640 a bit larger even compared to the 16 inch I think it's pretty similar to that 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:24.180 why this is getting heavy there you go you can see the whole 16 15 14 13 all 00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:30.000 the way down and they do get quite a bit larger at the 15. it's at least thinner 00:03:27.180 --> 00:03:34.739 than 14. way thinner look at that now 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:38.459 on the right side almost nothing just a headphone jack although they still have 00:03:36.540 --> 00:03:41.280 a headphone jack that's good I guess or on the other side we have two 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:45.299 Thunderbolt threes not four unfortunately and the magsafe connector 00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:51.480 right there oh I love that sound 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:54.000 let's be back one of my biggest concerns 00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:58.440 with the 15-inch MacBook Air is that as you make devices larger it's way more 00:03:56.040 --> 00:04:04.260 difficult to keep them rigid with this as thin as it is I'm a bit concerned she 00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:06.599 might be a bit floppy oh no that's quite 00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:11.220 good I'm not shocked it is Apple and it has a little bit more Flex than I was 00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:15.620 expecting but it's the entire chassis flexing which is way less worse than 00:04:14.099 --> 00:04:22.019 there being like localized soft spots that said though 00:04:19.919 --> 00:04:26.780 probably get a fair bit of flex like right there above track pad 00:04:27.780 --> 00:04:35.160 it's definitely more flexible than a 13 but at the same time like it's an Apple 00:04:33.300 --> 00:04:41.220 product I'm not surprised that it's like an A A Plus in build quality 00:04:37.979 --> 00:04:45.660 zero Flex there on the panel 00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:48.720 almost no flex there at all and there's 00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:50.880 zero Flex in the Segway to our sponsor 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:55.800 thanks to go to resolve for sponsoring this

00:05:21.660 --> 00:05:29.460 hopping into the 15-inch MacBook Air and the first thing I noticed is 00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:33.360 look at that Notch why did they have to 00:05:29.460 --> 00:05:35.280 do that right there yeah oh disgusting 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:42.600 look at this right here so we have the XPS 17 and Dell has been able to get 00:05:38.900 --> 00:05:45.360 full IR facial recognition as well as a 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:50.940 webcam up in here look at the size of this bezel compared to the one on the 00:05:47.340 --> 00:05:53.639 MacBook where it is the exact same size 00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:59.100 but then Apple's gone ahead and just put this big old Dingus there hate it guys 00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:03.780 like I know that all the Apple users are not going to complain about this because 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:06.780 I've just gotten used to it but it sucks 00:06:03.780 --> 00:06:09.800 still Notch aside though this is a very 00:06:06.780 --> 00:06:13.440 good screen the resolution is 2880 by 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:16.080 1864 which is kind of strange but for a 00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:20.340 device of this size very good it's a little bit less than 4K so you are going 00:06:18.780 --> 00:06:25.500 to have some battery improvements from that and also has 500 in its peak 00:06:22.139 --> 00:06:28.560 brightness and full coverage of DCI P3 00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:30.479 that is excellent I think it's also 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:34.199 color accurate it must be everything from Apple's color accurate that's said 00:06:32.580 --> 00:06:40.520 though when you start comparing it to the not all that far off price wise 00:06:36.900 --> 00:06:43.500 14-inch MacBook Pro it is a little bit 00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:49.319 underwhelming so on the 14 inch you have a thousand nit brightness on the whole 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:51.960 panel 1600 nit Peak brightness on just 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:57.240 like a tiny little bit and that is the difference between having like a full 00:06:54.060 --> 00:07:00.120 HDR experience on the 14 inch and just 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:03.840 like normal Computing on the air at the same time if you're going to be going 00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:09.600 outside and using your laptop out there a whole bunch the extra brightness will 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:12.960 be much appreciated on the pro that said 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:15.000 though 500 nits pretty darn good on a 00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:20.520 laptop another advantage of the 14 inches display is that it goes up to 120 00:07:18.060 --> 00:07:25.560 hertz whereas the MacBook Air is just locked to 60. that's it I don't really 00:07:23.340 --> 00:07:30.120 expect devices like this to have high refresh rate displays but it is a 00:07:27.900 --> 00:07:32.720 disadvantage compared to the 14. let's see keyboard 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:45.240 keyboard on the 15 inch MacBook Air is sort of one step forward one step back 00:07:43.380 --> 00:07:50.880 it feels like that they do have more travel here than the 14 and 13 inch 00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:55.020 MacBooks but also the key stability just isn't quite what I expect from an Apple 00:07:52.919 --> 00:07:59.099 product like if you look here I can sort of 00:07:56.819 --> 00:08:06.360 push on the sides of the keys and they move a fair bit it's not terrible but it 00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:09.419 just doesn't quite have the level of 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:11.580 just greatness that I sort of expect and 00:08:09.419 --> 00:08:16.740 well it's kind of required of Apple laptops yeah because like I don't love 00:08:14.039 --> 00:08:21.599 the feel of like the 14 inch MacBook Pros keyboard but it's super Snappy and 00:08:19.919 --> 00:08:26.340 super precise so at least for short amounts of time I can be really really 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:30.120 quick on it I don't know if I can be as quick 00:08:27.419 --> 00:08:35.820 on the 15 inch and like it's compared to the HP dragonfly it gets 00:08:32.459 --> 00:08:38.580 killed like it is nowhere near the 00:08:35.820 --> 00:08:42.479 quality of this keyboard like I can look here 00:08:40.140 --> 00:08:47.339 there's no there's no flex at all on this key and way more travel and it just 00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:52.140 feels so much better it's not even insanely we really need to get our 00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:57.060 keyboard tester fully sorted out so that I can actually have numbers for this 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:59.160 kind of a thing but it seems like it's a 00:08:57.060 --> 00:09:04.980 bit of a downgrade compared to the 14 inch and just not quite what I expect 00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:07.440 out of apple even if it is really great 00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:12.240 in like the grand scheme of all the laptops that exist that said though even 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:18.000 though Apple's keyboards are not quite my cup of tea you cannot argue with the 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:23.040 trackpad this thing is friggin massive and it is freaking great they make the 00:09:21.060 --> 00:09:28.980 best track pads on the market and have for years and years and years and years 00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:34.080 now there are some Windows laptops like you know the HP dragonfly that I have 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.980 right here or some Dell xps's that have 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:40.140 a similar ish level of track battery 00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:45.180 that Apple has but at the end of the day Apple's let it forever and no one's 00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:50.040 truly custom yet now on the MacBook Air you only get one choice of CPU so that's 00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:55.200 the M2 Chip the eight core four performance core four efficiency core 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:57.779 version as well as a 10 core GPU and a 00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:04.500 16 core neural engine this one that we have right here is a pretty baller tier 00:10:01.019 --> 00:10:07.440 model with 24 gigabytes of RAM and one 00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:11.519 terabyte of SSD although that said I think a lot of you will be very 00:10:08.880 --> 00:10:16.380 satisfied with a bit less than that because uh we'll get to the price later 00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:18.959 but this thing is not cheap now one thing that you guys might have noticed 00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:23.279 is that uh there's nothing here no speakers nothing 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:27.779 at all that's because much like the 13-inch MacBook Air they're hidden Down 00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:33.800 Under the hinge here but if they're anything like Apple's other speakers I 00:10:30.540 --> 00:10:36.180 imagine they are fantastic 00:10:33.800 --> 00:10:42.560 all right we've got the 15 inch right here and it sounds 00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:45.380 no oh there we go 00:10:42.560 --> 00:10:49.420 that's good that's really good 15's got a little bit more on the go oh 00:10:49.079 --> 00:10:53.060 yeah 00:10:53.060 --> 00:10:59.220 way more bass in the 15-inch MacBook Air 00:10:56.339 --> 00:11:05.950 when compared to the 13 inch all right you can leave next Challenger 00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:07.320 all right 15 inch air 14 inch pro 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.100 hmm 00:11:11.899 --> 00:11:18.540 ah it does sound like that there's a bit more bass and a bit more trouble in the 00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:23.700 14-inch Pro but that said this right here is the M1 version which had a bit 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:26.579 more aggressive of like a v-shaped EQ to 00:11:23.700 --> 00:11:31.079 it so I actually prefer the M2 15-inch air over the 14 inch pro that's pretty 00:11:29.160 --> 00:11:37.340 surprising that said though I'm guessing that the 14 inch M2 and the M2 air sound 00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:40.999 very very similar 00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:48.600 unsurprisingly the 16 inch definitely has the edge in just 00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:53.940 pure base extension and generally probably having much larger speakers 00:11:50.459 --> 00:11:55.620 that said though I am very impressed 00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:59.820 with the speakers on this guy right here and if you're looking for just like a 00:11:57.540 --> 00:12:03.959 Content consumption machine this thing will be freaking sweet like I know it 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:09.540 doesn't have the sear your eyeballs sort of brightness 00:12:05.940 --> 00:12:12.000 that you get from the pro versions but 00:12:09.540 --> 00:12:17.339 at the same time like it's not like an OLED display but the blacks on this are 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:20.760 very impressive and they don't have any sort of like 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:27.000 bleeding between the different zones it just looks freaking great oh wow all 00:12:24.180 --> 00:12:32.100 right we are currently getting 50 FPS which is actually pretty darn good this 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:36.120 is looking uh much better than I thought that it would it is still low 00:12:34.079 --> 00:12:40.680 but at the same time it is doing it that said though I think 00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:45.899 that we should really do two runs of this because this right here much like 00:12:43.260 --> 00:12:50.459 its smaller sibling does not have a fan so it is fully passively cooled so what 00:12:48.540 --> 00:12:55.500 I'm expecting is that the performance will start out very good and then just 00:12:53.220 --> 00:13:01.380 get lower and lower and lower as it continues to saturate like we've already 00:12:56.880 --> 00:13:04.560 gone from 50 to 35 FPS 00:13:01.380 --> 00:13:06.959 okay average FPS of 46 run Benchmark 00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:12.600 again so last time we went into this first area at about 50 FPS 44 is where 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.380 we're starting okay so a little bit slower I don't know 00:13:14.579 --> 00:13:20.459 it's getting up there right around the 50. maybe maybe it won't have heat soak 00:13:18.959 --> 00:13:24.000 as badly as I thought that it would in that amount of time of time but like seriously though I'm 00:13:22.620 --> 00:13:30.200 impressed that it's doing this at all like my expectation was us to start this 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:30.200 game and it to just be like 00:13:30.660 --> 00:13:39.600 but it's doing it all right last time we got 46 now it's down to 39. so that kind 00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:45.240 of shows you how it will perform really well but The Thermals of this are super 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:50.040 holding it back and the more that you try to do the slower it will be now for 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:55.139 the most part this is actually going to be fine so a lot of people will buy this 00:13:52.380 --> 00:13:58.800 for like emails and just using the internet and that sort of stuff and if 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:04.620 that's your use case this is going to be quite a good laptop that said though if 00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:09.720 you want to do things that are strenuous for an extended amount of time like 00:14:06.779 --> 00:14:15.240 gaming or video editing or photo exporting a whole bunch of them 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:17.579 this will start to let you down now now 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:21.899 you can maybe just like stick a fan down here dirty style and it probably will 00:14:19.139 --> 00:14:27.060 actually help out a lot but that said if you want to do actual work you're gonna 00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:28.680 have to Shell out for the Pro or just 00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:33.959 get something with Windows on the 15-inch MacBook Pro we get a 1080p 00:14:31.019 --> 00:14:38.339 webcam and this right here looks really quite good this is a very challenging 00:14:36.180 --> 00:14:43.800 environment where it's like dark stuff very bright stuff it is having very 00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:47.820 little trouble just exposing for my face let's see here moving around direct 00:14:46.079 --> 00:14:53.160 light in it not a problem it is doing pretty darn 00:14:50.880 --> 00:14:58.019 good I do see some graininess but at the same time for laptop webcam good job 00:14:55.680 --> 00:15:03.480 guys all right now let's see what's inside of it I am guessing a 13-inch 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:10.019 MacBook Air but bigger so I guess first of all we should take it for the 13. 00:15:06.660 --> 00:15:12.660 there we have our 13-inch taken apart I 00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:18.120 imagine it is very similar to get into the 15. now this right here requires 00:15:15.300 --> 00:15:24.660 four pentalobe screws if you're not totally sure what pentalobe is it's a 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:26.880 it's Apple's Q Fastener there we go 00:15:24.660 --> 00:15:30.899 we're inside that was easy enough let's turn this off again I'm actually pretty 00:15:28.980 --> 00:15:35.160 surprised that this thing just turned right on while I had the bottom off a 00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:39.240 lot of Apple devices have chassis intrusion switches which will have it so 00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:43.320 that if the bottom isn't on you cannot turn on the laptop it is actually really 00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:47.940 good on the Pro Models because it is theoretically at least possible to 00:15:46.079 --> 00:15:51.720 access the data that is on your RAM while the laptop is on if you can remove 00:15:50.040 --> 00:15:55.199 the bottom yep that's a battery 00:15:53.760 --> 00:16:00.060 that's uh that's pretty much all that there is in 00:15:57.540 --> 00:16:05.220 here in both of them now we can't see that there is a tiny bit more battery on 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:09.600 the 15 inch although according to Apple the battery life on these two is almost 00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:13.920 identical so like you have a tiny bit more battery on the 15 but also you have 00:16:11.339 --> 00:16:18.360 the 15 inch screen that is pushing more pixels and just consuming more power and 00:16:16.380 --> 00:16:23.459 it about evens out to both of them having 00:16:19.579 --> 00:16:26.519 14-ish hours of battery life 00:16:23.459 --> 00:16:29.160 that is pretty freaking good the ability 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:33.420 of this M2 Chip to be able to play Tomb Raider like it did while still just 00:16:31.260 --> 00:16:39.000 sipping power this is 66 watt hour battery being able to just keep that 00:16:36.060 --> 00:16:43.199 going and going for a whole like 14 hours or so is super impressive I was 00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:47.160 sort of hoping that they would have a bit of a cooling upgrade in here but 00:16:45.060 --> 00:16:51.720 from the looks of it that's not the case there's a there's nothing in here 00:16:49.079 --> 00:16:56.759 nothing at all all right well overall I actually really like the 15-inch MacBook 00:16:54.000 --> 00:17:02.040 Air there are so many people out there that just simply want and laptop that 00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:05.939 will do laptop things for you and it doesn't necessarily have to be powerful 00:17:03.959 --> 00:17:11.640 it just has to have a long battery life pretty good looking screen all right 00:17:08.520 --> 00:17:14.100 keyboard and it's good enough for a lot 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:19.500 of people that said though the make or break of this thing is going to be the 00:17:15.959 --> 00:17:21.959 price now it starts at thirteen hundred 00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:29.340 dollars but uh that one kind of sucks that that gets you eight gigabytes of 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:32.220 RAM and a 512 Gigabyte SSD which is kind 00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:38.880 of not acceptable for a thirteen hundred dollar laptop all right hit me Sven how 00:17:34.860 --> 00:17:41.280 much is this one 2100 USD 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:48.020 the one that we have with its 24 gigabytes of RAM and a one terabyte SSD 00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:51.360 comes in at 2100 US dollars that is 00:17:48.020 --> 00:17:53.280 pretty rough for that kind of a price I 00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:58.799 would without a doubt be getting this guy right here 14 inch MacBook Pro 00:17:55.620 --> 00:18:00.960 beautiful machine absolutely love this 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:07.740 thing that said though if you want to go for the 16 Gigabyte 512 version of the 00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:10.020 MacBook Air 15. it's coming in a bit 00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:15.480 less than the 14 inch and you are getting more screen real estate and 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:20.400 slightly less weight what's the price it's a bit more difficult of a decision 00:18:18.179 --> 00:18:25.919 for sure so this right here I think is gonna be a maybe get it now if you 00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:30.419 really like the looks but I would really wait until there's an M3 version and 00:18:28.380 --> 00:18:33.840 then just buy the M2 cheaper so if you like this video hit like get 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:36.960 subscribed make sure to let me know down in the comments how I'm both the shell 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:40.520 for Windows and Apple at the same time and just have a great all day
