My wife and I went on a short trip where I had to work. I normally use a windows desktop, but couldn’t bring that.
I used her base m1 air, and was blown away by how well it handled my work. Not just that, but it used significantly less ram and cpu power.
On windows my cpu usage is higher and my ram usage normally over 8gb. On here air, I was hitting around 6gb ram usage and the cpu was maybe around 15-20%
I am still in a little disbelieve that her laptop handed my work so much better than my desktop i7-8700 or laptop i5-11th gen intel handles it.
I’m totally picking up a MacBook this fall.
Now just need to decide between the air and pro, the air is probably fine, but I like the dedicated hdmi port as I will use it with a monitor a lot. Not sure if a usb-c hub will suffice.
The 14” Pro is a lovely machine.
I have a M1 Air and 2 M3 16” Pros ( for work).
The 16 is just too big. My partner has a 14” and it’s really nice.
I was thinking about the 15 air, or the 14 pro.
I won’t be buying until around October this year, so maybe the m5 pro will be out which would be the deciding factor.
