old macbooks used scissor switches, which is what most windows laptops use now
I use the MacBook Air that you showed. It is pretty good!
my macbook pro is now 8 years old help me out austin and ken
but this is running Catalina not big sur
4:35 I'm dying its a scissor-switch
this is how much Austin said "OH" 👇
I have a 2017 MacBook Pro and the only thing I dislike is the keyboard. I tested out the keyboard on this laptop at a Best Buy and it is very awesome and allows for faster typing. I also like the fact that Apple included matching Apple stickers with the 2020 MacBook Air.
seeing it after m1 launch
Love how there’s a acer ad on a MacBook video
who recognize he never said"hey guys this is Austin!"
Does the MacBook Air 2020’s screen flip into a tablet
It does not. No touch screen.
This was the first video I watched on my 2020 MacBook Air. I’m sure that made it happy
gold or silver im undecided i afraid to have regrets
I have a crush thank u
Watching on a core i3 2020 air \
You now need to be specific that it’s early 2020 MacBook Air
Mending rakit pc
00:01 when ur teacher asks u to tell about macbook air
It’s the 16 inch MacBook Pro
I don't get this one thing in laptops. If a $200 android phone can have a decent enough 1080p recording. Then why does laptop manufacturers use that cameras or atleast 1080p cameras for webcam. A dedicated webcam feels like a rip off to buy. It feels like an unnecessary device to use.
everybody bitching in the comment section about how their windows shitbox is better: sorry bro, i dont speak broke
i have windows msi gf65 Intel Core i7-9750H, Windows 10 Home 39,6 cm (15,6") Full HD Anti-Glare Display NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6 8GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD USB 3.2 Gen 1, AC WLAN, BT 5.0 122 herz
Am waiting for the MacBook Air with the Apple silicone chip to come out.
I wished Intel would have done this processor in the first redesign in 2018. Thanks Intel.
At 8:30 you mention the dead space around the batteries and that they could have been bigger. But isn't that dead space to accommodate heat generated by the batteries?
Is it good for graphics designer?

Hi! First of all i am a student and i am going to buy this and i am stuck between i3 and i5 which one should i buy?
I5
But on ebay 500 DOLLARS AHEM sorry a little mucus
Should I get the 2017 or.2020 MBA?
When my school has the old skool mac book
SAY HEY GUYS THIS IS AUSTIN
It's super overpriced for a simple notebook with cheap specs
Add a touchscreen, Apple, and I'm totally sold.....
Lmao I’m suprised you know about mighty car mods lol
Your missing the “Hey Guys it’s Austin”
By the way they called the older keyboards chiclet style keyboards.
Hi
If you could only upgrade the CPU or the RAM what would you upgrade to get the longest lifespan of of the computer? System requirements are only going to increase going forward
Hey guys...
Please review the new Dell G7 15 with the i5H and 1660 Ti. It has an 86WHr battery and has the potential to be a great long-battery gaming laptop for under $1,000. I want to know - how comfortable is the keyboard? How is the screen - is it calibrated enough to be okay for photo editing? What is the battery life? Please and thank you!
His animated voice and tonality is really something...
30w? My cheap laptop uses a 45w charger Or did I hear wrong
(In 2022) (Till the time there were 14 Million complaints on the Front 720p camera) (Apple got Sued and the company ended) (bcz they literally REMOVED front camera)
Apple products are extremely high quality, but they overprice literally everything they sell
What I need is a laptop that wouldn't lag like my Acer E 14 thats less than 5 years old and I can't even move cursor just an inch without the whole thing crashing like 2020
no one: charli: does nothing everyone:follow
999-100=8000
What!? He watches Mighty Car Mods??? Now that was a huge shocker, did not expect him to be into cars.
Can we just apreciate how buff austin is
6:26 That’s compared to the 2017 MacBook Air
What type of keyboard does a 2016 macbook pro have? I use the 2016 macbook pro and i hate the keyboard. The keys (sometimes) get stuck down. [15 inch]
i think the macbook air is supposed to be passively cooled like other ultrabooks, they were probably just too lazy to take out the fan
0:25 Nobody: Austin: and that beautiful desiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiign
I bought the Air. It does get super hot on simple tasks like LTclub and video playback. DO NOT DO IT ! Apple had everything going for this laptop until they messed up the heat sink!
@Paras Gupta thank you for answering I really need to know that
Lianty Yauri about 3 months
@Paras Gupta how long have you used it?
Lianty Yauri yes
Are you using the 2020 version?
my school got these for all 1000 students as an upgrade from the older macbook air and there is for sure a lot of improvements but i didnt like the speakers they felt so quiet compared to the other ones
just count how many times austin got overwatch over 100 and thats 20000 dollars bruh
Rip to the kid in my class that brought a 2018 MacBook for full-price and found out that this was coming out in a week
Getting one with i5 16gb
Hi pls answer should I get a MacBook Air or a Microsoft surface 7 which one is better
Apple upgrades are ridiculous. Was thinking of switching to MacBook Pro and would cost me $600 to upgrade the ram and storage to a normal standard 16gb and 1tb
Every time I see someone strum anything I think of MCM. Was glad Austin thought the same thing when he did it 😂
i got the i5 with 16gb mac air 2020
what song is this?
How did he open it so calmly without freaking out
**800 dollars Austin
As a owner of this I like it 10/10
anyone knows if I can run xcode on a MacBook Air 2020?
Why are you yelling lol
I like the creamy gold variant which looks like a mix of the old gold & rose gold colors. The most concern for me is its thermal since some reviewers reported abnormal rise of temperature even on some basic tasks, like browsing LTclub. I understand the new Intel Y series CPUs are intended to work "fanlessly", but it'd be more proximal to perfection if Apple would have added a heat pipe between the fan, which is blowing nothing, and the CPU. If the baseline MacBook Pro 13.3" has the gold option, I believe more people would like to choose that model.
Bruh keyboards it’s a damn laptop
i just love the robo raptor chilling in the background lol
listening to your podcasts is actually better than audible
Pin my chat for no reason
6 years and my pc died rip
WISHING TO UNEDIT HERE? UNEDIT UNEDIT UNEDIT
I agree. 11 inch rules!!!
12:43 he said 8000 dollars lol
why is the 2019 MacBook Air completely ignored
Does MacBook Air 2020 has the glowing logo?
Y would u spend over 1000 pounds to web browse if a 500 windows laptop could do it better
i use a 2019 macbook air for school and i hate it. A dual core i5, 8 gb of ram and 128 gb ssd for 1,500$.
in graphics tests in opencl the Zenbook actually beats the 1800 macbook pro lol
yeh meanwhile the Asus zenbook 14 is also a Ultrabook it's actually lighter then the MacBook air only 2.5 lbs and in it u get a six core ryzen 5 processor, 8 gigs of RAM 256 GB SSD, and mx350 graphics for $550
It was great | Thanks a lot
12:45 WOW ONLY $7999!
it’s so thinn
I bought a refurbished MacBook Air 13 inch 2020 from the apple refurbished shop for $850 + $50 for shipping. I got it in the mail 2 days ago and I can honestly say that I am grateful of how it performs . This is my first time having a MacBook of my own .
The part of hair thats is above your glasses looks like the moustache of Adolf Haildof Shitler
I am gonna just buy a 2011 imac
What's up with the hair,Austin?
Apple said that Apple silicon will sop it getting hot
I’m so happy you added the heating problem. Because other LTclubrs were really just pushing it too much and then blaiming the laptop. Great video!
I got an hp ad while watching this 😂
Dude I just got this for my school laptop
The 2020 version or an old one 💀
Just bought one today
I literally just bought the MacBook air and it is incredible, all of the tech channels saying it overheats. Yes it gets warm when I do photo editing but its not HOT, just warm-ish. Even though I have the 8gb ram model it is still surprisingly snappy and quick. I find it a breeze doing online school work and listening to music. The battery lasts the entire day. Bottom line is, buy the air if you can't buy the "13 pro, great "cheap" alternative
@JT DR If all you are doing is writing papers, surfing the web and watching films, then by all means buy the MacBook. This is perfect for people like you, and the keyboard is really nice to type on. Me personally, after a month of use, returned mine because I started doing heavy 4k photo and video editing so I got a desktop. But if I were you, then yes the MacBook is perfect for what you need it for. And about the fan, it really should not turn on when writing papers and stuff. But when watching films for a long time, maybe. If you use headphones then it should be no problem. Edit: Also the speakers on the MacBook WILL blow you away, they sound phenomenal. The 2k resolution screen will look perfect for movies and shows. In the time I had my MacBook videos were always super enjoyable to watch. If you can wait, there are new MacBooks coming out as soon as late this year or early next year. They will be cheaper and more powerful. But this MacBook is still very good
Hi, everyone. I've pretty much seen all the reviews for this laptop and I'm 90% sure I'm gomna buy it. Just need that 10% from y'all though. While most of the reviews were very positive, I've seen comments about the fan (or lack thereof). And that's my only concern right now. Can it hold of like other macs? Just so y'all know I'm a researcher and content writer so I do basic browsing and writing almost everyday. And watch films / series for an extended amount of time. Would appreciate some long time users to respond. Thanks
@Alex Herrmann If you get the i5 it will be more responsive and fast when editing 4k. I recommend using DaVinci Resolve for editing because it does pre-rendering and it will be a lot more smoother. Just expect a few stutters here and there when editing, but it shouldn't be too bad of an experience
C Rod thank you. It will be 4k, I don't know a lot about laptop processors so do you know if I bought the i5 configuration with quad core would that make a big enough difference?
@Alex Herrmann If it's 4k then your MacBook will be cooked, the CPU will start throttlling and being slow. It can definitely handle 1080p video editing but just know the fan might turn on. The first time my fan turned on I got worried but it's nothing really.
Look like alph alpha
The only laptop I would pick over this is the Microsoft Surface Book 3. Otherwise I would choose the MacBook Air or Mac Book Pro all day. Just specifically the Air because it’s better for traveling around with due to it’s size .🤧
I just bought the base model MacBook air a day ago, and actually I´ve been able to edit videos (some color correction, adding text and some music) on DaVinci Resolve a lot better than I initially thought.
@Ashley Odom For tasks like school projects and browsing the web is pretty good!! as long as she doesn´t try to edit 4k video she will be fine. I say go ahead! Hope this helps
Alex Vlogs I been debating whether or not to get the MacBook air base model, just need it for virtual school for my daughter and just browse the internet. How are you liking it?
Never buy a mac... You will suffer... (only for Indians 🇮🇳)
Bro what...
As long as it has a reliable keyboard, good battery life and performance good enough to handle some school work, I’ll get it. I’ve been waiting to upgrade from my early 2014 MacBook Air since I got it in 2014😂 so far it’s still working near perfectly so I’m still waiting.
