According to our Klein K10-A colorimeter, the MacBook Air with M1 produces 114.3% of the sRGB spectrum, which is slightly above the scores of the M1 MacBook Pro (110.6%) Asus ZenBook 13 (107.5%) and the Dell XPS 13 (97.9%). The Intel MacBook Air posted a similar 113%, and the OLED XPS 13 hit a hair higher, at 117.3% The fact that the new M1 machines don't meet your specific needs is neither evidence for nor justification to decry them as "junk". They very obviously are not such but are quality machines that will more than satisfy buyers within the market category and price level at which they are aimed.
If you have clear and indisputable evidence that Apple has paid "these reviewers", then you ought to provide both an identification of just which reviewers it is to which you refer and details of the evidence that proves your allegation. If you cannot do that then you are simply defaming the company and maligning the integrity of both Apple and "these reviewers".I put the New MacBook Air's webcam in a head-to-head face-off with the early-2020 Intel-based MacBook Pro, with both joining the same Google Meet call. My boss, looking at two of me at the same time, noted that the video from the M1-based MacBook Air offered better colors, including skin tones, and an overall brighter picture. Other calls I made on the MacBook Air, where we didn't have a live comparison, didn't wow anyone with the video quality, which goes to show that a better webcam would still be welcome. MacBook Air with M1 review: Design Testing conducted by Apple in April and May 2023 using production 13-inch MacBook Air systems and preproduction 15-inch MacBook Air systems all with Apple M2, 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24GB of RAM, and 2TB SSD, as well as production 1.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based MacBook Air systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics, 16GB of RAM, and 2TB SSD. Final Cut Pro 10.6.6 tested using a complex 2-minute project with 4K ProRes 422 media. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Air. Even owning an old Intel- and Nvidia-based MacBook Pro of mid-2014, I realised that my computer is much more reactive, except somehow on start, but much more during live work, on the continuation. Whilst I understand that this machine is one that doesn't suit your needs, I strongly object to the statements you made that I have quoted above. I don't see why Apple should suddenly care about the concurrency. Intel is maybe an old (hi-)story in 5 years. The neo-liberal model standing for some decades in evolved lands, should suddenly stops for Apple... Pretty innocent.
Restart on Bootcamp (now called EFI Boot - only available on Intel Macs, now) however fails: I have to shut down completely, and start Windows 10 after having waited after the EFI network searching. That's the sole, and minor, bug. On our Handbrake (Universal) video conversion test, which transcodes a 4K video to 1080p, the MacBook Air finished the test in 9 minutes and 15 seconds and the MacBook Pro took 7:44 (on a Beta version of Handbrake that's optimized for Apple silicon). Those times obliterate those from the ZenBook 13 (17:51) and XPS 13 (18:22), as well as the 27:10 time from the Intel MacBook Air from earlier this year. Testing conducted by Apple in August and September 2021 using JetStream 2, MotionMark 1.2 and Speedometer 2.0 performance benchmarks. Tested with pre-release Safari 15 and latest stable versions of Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Firefox at the time of testing on: 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 and pre-release macOS Monterey, and Intel Core i7–based PC systems with Intel Iris Xe Graphics and Windows 10 Pro; iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation) units with pre-release iPadOS 15, and Intel Core i7–based PC systems with Intel Iris Xe Graphics and Windows 10 Pro; and iPhone 12 Pro Max with pre-release iOS 15, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 888-based smartphones with Android 11. Devices tested with a WPA2 Wi‑Fi network connection. Performance will vary based on usage, system configuration, network connection and other factors. Apple declared its M1 chip would enable all-day battery life, and the company has hit that mark. On the Tom's Guide battery test (web browsing at 150 nits), the new MacBook Air lasted an epic 14 hours and 41 minutes (while the new MacBook Pro hit 16:32) — times that beat both the ZenBook 13 (13:47) and XPS 13 (11:07). The OLED XPS 13 (7:59) put in a much lower time.And knowing that the new Apple Silicon configuration beats every price-comparable configuration (what I think), it sounds like they married perfectly the new operating system with the material. Even more than before. Be sure to read our guide on how to clean a MacBook screen to keep it looking its best. MacBook Air with M1 review: Keyboard and touchpad
