M1 MacBook Pro and Air review: Apple delivers
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.

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?

I think the Touch Bar is really good. I like it better actually.
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
What is that game controller? Where to get it?
Too enthusiastic review. I do not believe that a piece of plastic can be so admired. Perhaps this is an advertisement.

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
Does Rosetta work on bootcamp?
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.
the verge is apple PR. so biased
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?
I’m old school and don’t think a laptop should have a touch screen. You want a touch screen? buy a tablet….

Waiting for next gen MBP with better webcams. Sorry that’s a deal breaker for me.
I’d say running iOS apps on MacOS looks more like a developer option rather than a general use option.
can someone tell me how did he make his keyboard lights a whole different color???
These two dudes are virgins.i know it
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.
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?
How’s the Air gonna withstand sustained sound mixing and editing? Any major need to go for the pro?
hello lovelies…do check out my m1 macbook unboxing 😘
7:30 how can macbook’s keyboard has a RGB??

Nice video idea
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)
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.
It’s lockdown, I’ve never not needed a laptop. I’ll go for the mac mini.

Has Apple done enough to help you trust its all new processors?
How do you like your macbook
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.

I think you convinced me
Why don’t they like the touch bar? I think it looks cool. It looks convenient also.
just add the touch screen to a 256 GB Air to shoot prices up to $2500
Wait why should we trust verge?
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…

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.
I’m impressed. I’m also thinking to change from my 16gb ram 2tb storage 3.2gz iMac to a Macbook Pro
who else see that RGB keyboard is this just reflection of screen or is that real in M1 have RGB keyboard
Just want the glowing apple logo back 😩
I think Steve Jobs would be pretty happy with this.
My M1 comes tomorrow!!! I’m so exited
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!
Why do people either love or hate the Touch Bar. I think it’s fine
Interesting review but why were they wearing masks inside by themselves?
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.
Looking forward for M1 iMac compare with AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
