Using iMovie to save a 74-second 4K video took more than five minutes on the 2018 MacBook Air, and sent its cooling fan into a tizzy. Both have 16 GB of RAM, double the quantity in the new Air I’ve been trying. In this household, the old Macs include a 2016 MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i7 chip and a 2018 MacBook Air with a Core i5. The M1 undisputedly outperforms the core performance of everything Intel has to offer, and battles it with AMD’s new Zen3, winning some, losing some. The performance of the new M1 in this “maximum performance” design with a small fan is outstandingly good. I personally tested the 13” M1 MacBook Pro and after extensive testing, it’s clear that this machine eclipses some of the most powerful Mac portables ever made in performance while simultaneously delivering 2x-3x the battery life at a minimum. And now more than ever, I’m wishing Google could do the same for Chromebooks.īefore getting into that though, here are some selected quotes from reviewers using the ARM-based Mac products to set the scene. They’re nearly universal in their praise: The ARM-based Apple Silicon M1 chips compare favorably to the best that Intel and AMD have to offer in the x86 space. In case you missed it today, reviews for the new Apple Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro were published.
