Apple has updated three Mac with its own M1 processors: the Macbook Air, the entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro, and the Mac mini. Will Intel-based apps run? Will they be fast? Will they live up to Apple's battery life claims? Nilay Patel and Dieter Bohn have a thousand questions, and almost all of them have been answered.

M1 MacBook Pro and Air review: Apple delivers

Has Apple done enough to help you trust its all new processors?
Iggy Cygnus
Just purchased an M1 MacBook Pro 💻 with 16GB memory and 1TB of storage. This thing is a sleeper. Nobody would suspect it until a drag race is initiated.
Waqar Masood
@Zane DuFour , it can run Linux, it's 💯tested.
marioepsilon
Note that this is the max power they got, the MacBook Pro has the same chip as the Air. If they could make it better they would. Also note that the Pro has 16G RAM, that is intentional, to avoid putting too much pressure on the CPU. This, while is a huge improvement for the Air, it is not for Pro Macs. In fact, I wouldn't call the M1 Pro a Pro, that is just a MacBook. Making this great for the Air is something, scaling these up, to make them powerful enough for the desktop Mac Pro machines is another thing.
Yann Landry
Absolutely! I'm blown away with the performances of these new chips! I'm only waiting for the 14" MacBook Pro to replace my 2014 15" MacBook Pro and once the new iMac comes out, I'm going to replace my 2011 27"!
C M
Got the Air and it is incredible! Replacing both my quad core 17" and 8core 15" Macbook Pros as favourite Macs. Might get a Mac mini and see if it can replace my Mac Pro or iMac Pro haha. But will probably wait for the M2 to see, I do think they will pay for themselves in energy consumption!
Clarisa jaeger
00:05 Amazing,I got windows 10 pro for only $19 and office 2016 for $20 from *thekey365* just go to google and search for *thekey365*
The familiar Start Menu, which Microsoft replaced with Live Tiles in Windows 8, returned in Windows 10. Users can still access Live Tiles and the touch-centric Metro interface from a panel on the right side of the Start Menu
Rocco Ripepi
Can Macbook Air M1 can work with two external screens? Like close the laptop and work on both screens? My current macbook air 2017 only works on one screen, if used both hdmi cable, it becomes a mirror on both screens.
Yuri Travels
Why old guy is wearing a mask on video? Your videos are show offs like him wearing a mask

straighten your fkn back wtf

Great review video. Finally a channel that answers good and bad tech. I'm still not sure which to replace my 2009, yes you read correctly, 2009 macbook pro. I need to replace as its no good. I use for editing my own youtube videos which takes ages to bounce like 4 hours for a 5 min videos. the battery is 30 mins life and well its a 2009. I watch youtube, I edit on iMovie and I can't upgrade it anymore as apple won't let me. HELP ME haha.
Betty Crock
I disagree I like the touch bar and I don’t want a touch screen lol but good review
Sufyan Ali
Do not buy Apple Macbook Pro M1. I bought it just 2 days ago. Its having display issues, colors washed out. NO APPLE REPLACEMENT. They will only repair it. I am so much disappointed
Meridias Watchtower
I don't see an issue with the webcam quality considering it makes sense given that the screen is so thin.
I bought my wife the new MBA. She just wanted a laptop for working on D&D campaign stuff but the Chromebooks have an EoL of 5 years (and hers was getting slow), on top of the fact that many of the Windows laptops we've used don't last long. She also has an iPhone, so it makes more sense to get another device in the ecosystem.
I have the 13" 2019 MBP and it's wonderful. Had a couple issues when it upgraded to Big Sur (which are now seemingly fixed with the latest update), and the battery life leaves a bit to be desired. It heats up more than I would like (not drastically so, but it's not exactly a laptop I would recommend keeping in your lap, so I bought a lapdesk).
All in all, this transition seems pretty smooth from all the reviews I've seen. In the future I'll probably trade in this MBP in for one of the future generation M-chip MacBooks.
Denver Morgan
They didn’t deliver on the screens for the MacBook Air that’s for sure.
Don. Timeless
All ports from now & on should be usb c thunderbolt & it should have been before! Old ports should be stopped! I only agree with doubling the ports of usb c thunderbolt. This port is so amazing that you can only by plugging external monitor that supports usb c thunderbolt you can plug the mouse, K/B & headset to the external monitor!!
RealLyfeSucks
I'd say running iOS apps on MacOS looks more like a developer option rather than a general use option.
Tony Shi
I really liked the Touch Bar. I’ll be sad to see it go. Also I will never use a touch screen on a laptop. (Experience from my surface laptop)
sarita laitonjam
hello lovelies...do check out my m1 macbook unboxing 😘
Golden Mateo
I'm impressed. I'm also thinking to change from my 16gb ram 2tb storage 3.2gz iMac to a Macbook Pro
Teluric 1
the verge is apple PR. so biased
J
just add the touch screen to a 256 GB Air to shoot prices up to $2500
supermario jake
How do you like your macbook
Coveinight
I think you convinced me
Edwin
I plan on going to school in the fall for kinesiology and I need a laptop. Should I get the air or the pro. I will only be using it for school. What do you recommend?
Steven OConnor
I think the Touch Bar is really good. I like it better actually.
Inov Afani
7:30 how can macbook's keyboard has a RGB??
Chris Reilly
Just want the glowing apple logo back 😩
Dott Winial
Is there really no replacement for chrome yet? I remember the day I surprised by chrome but it was really long ago. I thought FireFox would catching chrome at least.
Tyler2
Why do people either love or hate the Touch Bar. I think it’s fine
Frailin Salas
can someone tell me how did he make his keyboard lights a whole different color???
mattizzle Soda
I think Steve Jobs would be pretty happy with this.
Dzmitry
Too enthusiastic review. I do not believe that a piece of plastic can be so admired. Perhaps this is an advertisement.
Jimothy Cricket
Good review but... can we not with the masks please. Covid is exhauating enough, no need for reminders of whats going on with videos that are not related to the virus. It just screams virtue signalling.
Tuan Nguyen
The main problem with reduced instruction set chips is the compatibility of applications (programs). Lot of programs (especially for scientific applications) are not compiled or written for it. Showing few applications for the purpose of demonstration for video processing can be quite misleading. You must address the issue in depth otherwise this presentation is the same as others.
Don Corleone
How's the Air gonna withstand sustained sound mixing and editing? Any major need to go for the pro?
Matty Bee
I don't use the webcam ever and I actually like the Touch Bar... not sure why ppl hate on it so much. I give my MacBook M1 Pro a 10/10 esp coming from my old MacBook 2019 Pro...
Jerry the drug addict
Wait why should we trust verge?
TripleSevenTech
Does Rosetta work on bootcamp?
Matt Voss
Interesting review but why were they wearing masks inside by themselves?
Cezar Inigo Roxas II
What is that game controller? Where to get it?
Galant Ghost
Hey! I'm trying to decide which of these Macbooks would be best for me, the Air or Pro. I use photoshop to design things like event flyers, cd covers, social media images etc. And also use a software called Movavi to edit videos. Nothing too fancy, mainly trimming, pasting and adding various video clips and audio files together to create videos that are roughly 45 mins to an hour long. Can the Air handle this easy or should I get the pro?
Mortimus Mark VI
I bought the M1 MacBook Pro (16GB RAM, 512GB Storage) and have been using it for two weeks. I use Zoom for work and also work with a lot of multi-track music so I thought the better microphone and the heavy lifting of the pro's active cooling would be worth the extra $300.
So far, the fan hasn't turned on once. Lightning quick. Incredible battery life. I've been able to use it for up to 12-14 hours of heavy work before the reserve battery kicks in.
Unexpectedly, I am in LOVE with the Touch Bar and it's functionality. I've set my favourites to pop up on the Touch Bar when opening a new webpage and it's surprisingly a lot quicker than the conventional "click & type" (Fun fact: if/when you get ads from videos you can use the Touch Bar to skip ahead instead of waiting the 5+ seconds).
As for the two ports, so far I haven't needed more than the two. I bought a USB-C adapter for when I need more connections but so far it hasn't been necessary.
10/10 review, and a small part of me also wonders if the MacBook Air would have done just as good of a job, but I'm extremely happy with my new laptop!
Jack
Waiting for next gen MBP with better webcams. Sorry that’s a deal breaker for me.
pepe
My M1 comes tomorrow!!! I’m so exited
Zacarino 18
Why don't they like the touch bar? I think it looks cool. It looks convenient also.
Dion Johnson
Referring to the webcam "It's unacceptable when we're all working from home" seems like a bad statement. It wasn't predictable that we'd all be working from home at this point and Apple would have commenced manufacturing way before the lockdown. Should have said "its unacceptable, and it's especially unfortunate since we're all working from home." That way it doesn't sound like your implying Apple should have known about the sudden mass prevalence of working from home.
Kid flash 2001
Nice video idea
Lionel Loi
Hi, may I know what is the software you use to bypass when you are using Adobe photoshop to make the current version works on the new m1 chips processor?
smail madani
when this M1 fails cause they all do how will you reset the nvram, or smc, it's all gone with previous Intel based Macs, now with Rosetta all seems working as far as performance goes, but when something goes wrong, where is that say about Macs are built to fix themselves by themselves, and I'm not even talking about migrating from a previous Mac let alone bootcamping, Apple configurator 2 seems to be not so efficient in some situations, go and have look at Mr Macintosh and don' to fall for this.
Devang Tak
who else see that RGB keyboard is this just reflection of screen or is that real in M1 have RGB keyboard
Jonathan Conwell
I'm old school and don't think a laptop should have a touch screen. You want a touch screen? buy a tablet....

I may part with some hard-earned the day Apple puts a touch screen on a 16” laptop
Until then, it’s pretty safely in my bank. Looking like it’s heading the right way though

I bought a 2060 SUPER a week before the 30 series was announced. So glad I didn't buy an older mac. Totally gonna get this
Jackie Tan
Looking forward for M1 iMac compare with AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Trevor Smith
Unfortunately the Bluetooth is hopeless on mine. I'm on the second machine and it sill has connection issues. Spent hours on the phone to Apple but no success. This ones getting returned too. Buyer beware.
Alejandro Ramirez
These two dudes are virgins.i know it
Ben B
It's lockdown, I've never not needed a laptop. I'll go for the mac mini.
Kian Busacay
Does it come with anti-static WWJD bracelet?
Jelo Roc
Am I the only one that finds the Touch Bar useful? I mean, not life/game changing useful, but still useful...
D L
This is helpful in decision making thanks!
Meet Choudhary
Update:Chrome Microsoft suite has been updated as well
Ben Schönhardt
I like the Touch Bar, altho Im just a regular consumer, I like the Touch Bar more than the function Keys
A Kearse
Just ordered mine two days ago damn near gotta wait a month for delivery but damn I can’t wait lol hope it’s worth it

If i used intel based ms office for long time like 4 hours will the battery drain fast ?

I highly recommend madeeasyhack on instagram: im so surprised to know that this guy is so legit when it comes to files recovery: and spy on my girlfriend WhatsApp, thanks to madeeasyhack
Utopia Light
if they add touch screen then they may kill their ipads.
Jeremy Bridgenath
Was seriously considering it until that webcam.......Will wait a while to see if they address that issue
Aliana Wood
12:11 What is this game he is playing?
Aliana Wood
So, would I be able to play games like Sims 4 on the new Macbook Air or Pro on Medium Settings?
alan de souza
No mater how many reviews are uploaded before you guys, I still have to wait to see what the Verge has to say about it. You say it the way it is👍🏼

Love the wearing of the mask when the guy is totally alone in the room and sitting on the bench OUTSIDE with no one around him.

If they made the macs touch screen the would lose sales on the ipad. Tbh I don't like touch screen computers as they are very sensitive.
Gus Leffers
Does anyone know which font they used for the thumbnail? MKBHD uses it for captions as well, I would love it if anyone knew. Thanks in advance!

I have a hp envy x360 amd 4700u-16 GB ram, should I replace for the base model macbook air?
Kavon Nowroozi
Is the MacBook Air bright enough at 400 nits though ?
Jack F
Why would I want a touchscreen on my laptop?! I don't understand it, I don't want it.
Joel Plummer
This M1 MacBook Pro is the first MacBook I’ve had with the touch-bar and I absolutely love it. I spend much of week doing Keynote presentations through Zoom and the touch-bar options in those programs are godsends. So I guess I’m one of the people that Apple keeps making the touch-bar for. Sorry.
Guillaume Levitre
Awesome review, as usual! It seems like the MacBook Air is the deal!
EmpyreanLightASMR
What is the model number of these newest iterations? How do I know best buy isn't pushing the old version?
EmpyreanLightASMR
Also the MBP is 100 nits brighter than the air. Not sure if that helps anyone.
Calikid721
What is the best 27" curved monitor for the new MacBook pro? Thanks!
Raul Gubert
I don't want to see masks in videos, you can do it without.
Milad Mahdavi
nice... milad from iran 👍🏻
Nelly B.
I’ve received mine today. And I’m really disappointed in the quality of this camera. Maybe there’s a problem with my laptop. What do you guys think?
Jeff Valentine
I'm honestly not a fan of having a touch screen MacBook. Not only would the screen look awful with a bunch of fingerprints but it kind of defeats the purpose of an iPad, especially a Pro. I am okay with integration with apps but there needs to be adjustments to where it will work well with a MacBook as well as it works with an iOS device.
OmarSaad
iOS Netflix on Mac would be a game changer since you could watch downloads on a reasonably sized screen
Jerard Wade
Can anyone recommend the base level of the Nee MacBook Air for graphic design?
Rock girl
Is it weird that you binge watch almost all reviews even after our MBP is being shipped?
NA R
True, they should just add touchscreen feature. Then i don’t need ipad no longer 🤣 + compatible with apple pencil
seeni gzty
"HUGE drop in performance" Who else caught that? 😂
Rock girl
webcams, they need to change those! But yes, other than that, incredibly fantastic devices. Can't wait to see the higher-end ones!
nieooj gotoy
I kind of wish I would've waited for the 2020 with the M1, I'm stuck with the I5.
