  1. Welp… Apple increased the Neo by $100, the Air by $200. And the Pro’s by $300-500 💀 Probably makes the Neo an easier recommendation now.

  2. anyone who knows their stuff is 16gb ram enough long term if you dont have a professional use for a macbook

  3. I’m still using my 2017 MacBook Air, my prof roasted me in class saying I had a “light up MacBook”

  4. “Don’t waste your money”….dont go out and buy new with these crazy prices. Used M1 Pro 16” for $700 on eBay.

  5. Why do the lower models get the best colours ? Why is Apple playing us like this … typing on my pro 17 orange when all I wanted was pink 😂

  6. I’m not a video éditer man but I love to watch the movies like in high image. And Also I’m not a otaku guy but I wanna play the games like open world thing in high quality the immersion every now and then
    That’s why I’m still torn between the Air and the Pro, and also which chip to get

    What do you think ?

    Based on refurbished prices in France,

    M2 pro → around 1000€
    M3 pro → ?
    M4,5 air → around 1000€
    Pro (m4) → around 1200€

  7. I’m still using a 2019 MacBook Pro 😅 I just fw the Touch Bar with the finger ID. One of the few that actually likes it

  8. I NOTICED that MANY MAC PRO models have a straight scratch line almost at the middle of the laptop screen… I'm currently investigating this matter and see if its normal or not ;<

  9. What is the point of going for something “good for 10 years” when Apple will withdraw support and updates after only 5?

  10. If the neo had a backlight keyboard it would be perfect. But it lacks it when cheap pcs have it in that price point

  11. Would a mac pro a1502 compared to a neo? I need a new one but as lomg as a neo can now do what a mac pro a1502 would. I want to save the buck.

  12. Thinking to change my Windows to iOS laptop by next year as I am still saving up some monies on it. I am still torn in between Neo vs Air. Pro is too much for me as someone who uses software like subtitle edit, express transcribe or translation tools. Which one is suitable? Neo or Air? Can someone help me to decide because I don't know which one to get :<

  13. i neo is just an ihpone 16 pro in laptop form so either get yourself the phone or the neo whatever is your fancy.

  14. Not being sarcastic but what demanding game are we playing on a MacBook anyway Minecraft Apple product is more productivity not gaming unless you count Apple Arcade if you’re not gaming than Apple might seem like a good choice for high school maybe some college course depending on on what you major.

  15. Did your wife make you put her pics on your laptops to prevent women from commenting on your videos? 😂 If so, that’s a pro move, lmfao. Thanks for the very informative video. Decided to go with the Air M5 with some boosted specs. Cheers!

  16. I'm really at my wits' end right now; I hope someone can help me.

    I'm about to start a master's program, and after that I want to go to college.

    Now I'm not sure whether to buy a MacBook Pro, an iPad Pro, a MacBook Air, or a MacBook Air plus an iPad Air.

    I need it to be able to work on multiple things at once, including editing PDF files, creating PowerPoint presentations, and programming, but I also want to use it for streaming, everyday tasks, and, for example, Zwift.

  17. I was considering a pro or maybe an air, but then the price increased by about 30%… guess I’m stuck with my M1 MacBook Pro for a few more years.

  18. Better buy to video edition (YT Chanel) ile mcbook air or pro with M1, M2 ? Mayby neo or new air ? Easy video edition ?
