00:00:00
so hello everyone i recently bought
00:00:01
macbook air m2 two weeks ago on a
00:00:04
student discount not just on a student
00:00:06
discount but on a back to school deal
00:00:09
just a year mojave i bought it for even
00:00:12
cheaper than macbook air m1 we'll talk
00:00:15
about the discount and deans later but
00:00:17
before i really want to share i am a big
00:00:19
fan of m1 chip i used macbook air m1 for
00:00:24
more than one year and i edit edited
00:00:26
more than 150 videos did coding made
00:00:30
android apps and i did a lot of stuff on
00:00:32
that cheapest possible macbook air and i
00:00:35
was very happy with it now after
00:00:36
upgrading to macbook air m2 what do you
00:00:38
think students should spend one lakh 20
00:00:40
000 rupees in india yeah after 200 more
00:00:43
in us or you should still go for macbook
00:00:46
air m1 let's talk about in this video so
00:00:48
let's get started
00:00:52
[Music]
00:00:58
so first of all talking about the
00:00:59
student discount if you buy any kind of
00:01:01
macbook air irrespective cheapest or
00:01:04
this m2 macbook air if you go to the
00:01:06
apple webpage on a student discount page
00:01:09
on education discount page you will see
00:01:12
that it's first of all hundred dollars
00:01:14
cheaper and on the top you will see that
00:01:16
if you buy it you're eligible for up to
00:01:18
150 gift card for for macbook air m2 i
00:01:21
got 150 gift card you might be getting
00:01:23
the same for macbook air m1 as well so
00:01:25
total muji per day for this macbook
00:01:27
around 12 hundred dollars after taxes
00:01:29
and i got 150 gift cards so it costed me
00:01:33
1050 because i can use that gift card
00:01:36
immediately for final cut pro which is
00:01:39
dollars or you can pay for your
00:01:41
subscriptions on your apple account of
00:01:43
course you can see your gift card you
00:01:45
can do anything with your gift card but
00:01:47
this problem in india they don't give
00:01:49
you a gift card they give you either
00:01:52
airpods three or discount on airpods pro
00:01:56
so if you buy a bundle up for first of
00:01:57
all milliga 10 000 rupees discount on
00:01:59
your macbook air m1 or m2 or kasaji will
00:02:02
be given an opportunity to get
00:02:04
airpods pro or airpods 3 on a great deal
00:02:07
so it could be a good combo but i
00:02:09
personally like the gift card because
00:02:11
that's like real money in your hand
00:02:13
gives you the flexibility to buy
00:02:14
anything you want to and because of this
00:02:16
discount people might go for macbook air
00:02:19
m2 easily because it could be cheaper
00:02:22
than macbook air m1 without discount
00:02:25
discount music ignore though if you
00:02:27
ignore the discount on m1 and just think
00:02:29
about discount on m2 you will think it's
00:02:31
cheaper than m1 but the discount is
00:02:33
valid for both the macbooks you can go
00:02:34
for any any macbook regardless for the
00:02:37
discount focus
00:02:39
yeah it feels more like it feels like
00:02:41
it's lighter but it's not
00:02:43
now number one benefit of getting
00:02:45
macbook air m2 is you get a mag safe
00:02:48
port because of that you get one port
00:02:50
free joe macbook airbag if you're using
00:02:52
one port for charging then you will be
00:02:54
left with only one port that wasn't a
00:02:56
problem for me because this macbook
00:02:58
charges really fast i have a fast
00:02:59
charger it charges in one hour to one
00:03:01
and a half hours with the fast charger
00:03:03
and i still had both the ports free in
00:03:05
my previous macbook air as well so it's
00:03:07
like a minor benefit if you want to
00:03:09
charge and use two ports and apple
00:03:11
stickers also make a camouflaging effect
00:03:13
they are like 100 matching with this
00:03:16
matte color but it's very figure
00:03:18
fingerprint magnetic though
00:03:20
it has more fingerprints i've ever seen
00:03:22
on my macbook air m1
00:03:24
number three benefit bigger screens the
00:03:26
java code carrier it has 0.3 inch bigger
00:03:29
screen diagonally so you can see more
00:03:31
code when you're scrolling it's just
00:03:33
minor difference but it does make a
00:03:35
difference while you're programming just
00:03:37
a little bit now we're talking about
00:03:38
performance difference coffee logo nice
00:03:40
by minecraft the killua people are able
00:03:42
to play minecraft on this computer on
00:03:45
this macbook and m2 with 50
00:03:48
more smoother performance frame rates
00:03:51
as compared to macbook air m1 which is
00:03:53
amazing and agar apko gaming
00:03:55
for gaming it is now possible to play
00:03:57
games on macbook m1 and m2 both but on
00:04:00
m2 even bigger around 50 40 to 50 better
00:04:04
performance but to be honest that
00:04:05
performance might be on the most
00:04:07
expensive version of macbook and m2 but
00:04:10
still you will see around 20 improvement
00:04:12
on this variant because this cheapest
00:04:14
man mover m2 i have bought or
00:04:17
gaming
00:04:18
it is really important to be secure on
00:04:20
the internet if you want to play
00:04:21
multiplayer games on the internet which
00:04:23
you can do on macbook and m2 remember to
00:04:25
use a vpn and currently my favorite vpn
00:04:28
is surf shark just get through you can
00:04:30
be secure on the internet no internet
00:04:32
provider can steal your data they cannot
00:04:35
see your browsing history they cannot
00:04:37
see who are you talking to no one can
00:04:38
steal your data and you will be secured
00:04:41
and merely another benefit of using a
00:04:43
vpn is that i can watch multiple
00:04:45
libraries of netflix amazon prime and
00:04:48
most importantly z5 and hot star which
00:04:51
is cheaper in india but i can get it at
00:04:54
the same rate in india in the us a very
00:04:56
bad difference without that 500 rupees
00:04:58
for z5 in india you can get the same
00:05:00
price in u.s which is 50
00:05:03
if you don't use a vpn so definitely try
00:05:05
out and if you will use my code singing
00:05:07
usa you will get first of all three
00:05:08
months free of this vpn on the top of 83
00:05:12
percent of discount it's a limited offer
00:05:14
definitely tried out with the link in
00:05:15
the description below now continuing
00:05:16
with the performance i get the point
00:05:18
it's faster cpu is 20 to 40 faster gpu
00:05:21
is 20 to 40 faster but it's slower as
00:05:24
well ssd speed is down by up to 50
00:05:27
percent when it could transfer their
00:05:29
credit i tried to transfer some files to
00:05:31
ssd read and write it was taking four
00:05:34
minutes on m2 and two to three minutes
00:05:38
on m1 so it is a little bit slower and
00:05:40
because of this there's one more
00:05:42
disadvantage you will get so for example
00:05:44
i told you in my previous videos that
00:05:46
even though universities like georgia
00:05:48
tech and top schools require you to have
00:05:51
16 gb ram and i always used 8 gb ram i
00:05:55
was happy with 8gb ram on m1 do you know
00:05:57
why because m1 air m2 air or m2 chip m1
00:06:01
chip they come with swap memory so
00:06:04
currently 7.3 gb is full and 2.7 is swap
00:06:08
memory so we are using more than 8 gb
00:06:10
memory with final cut pro
00:06:12
android studio and just google chrome
00:06:14
itself
00:06:15
here let's say that i have 8gb ram and i
00:06:18
am full with that ram i use all of that
00:06:21
ram now since it's a unified memory a
00:06:24
key chip in one chip you have ram ssd
00:06:27
everything together now the ssd can be
00:06:30
used as ram so 8 gb is not limiting you
00:06:35
but it's giving you advantage because of
00:06:37
unified memory so it's a great
00:06:39
architecture
00:06:40
but because read and write speed is slow
00:06:44
so agar up technically if you use 8gb
00:06:47
ram and now if you want to use swap
00:06:49
memory and use ssd you will see the
00:06:51
performance difference and i did see as
00:06:53
well prove that i opened android studio
00:06:55
final cut pro and xcode all three apps
00:06:58
and when i was rendering i could see
00:07:01
that the ram is full
00:07:03
and the laptop is really really slow so
00:07:05
this is the point when the macbook m2
00:07:08
lags so now i have oh it is slow see up
00:07:12
children so it is sometimes slow and at
00:07:14
this point i have so many things open i
00:07:16
have final cut pro i have oh it's slow
00:07:20
again come on hold on
00:07:22
come on come on
00:07:23
yes it is slow but it's
00:07:26
not that bad final cut pro android
00:07:28
studio chrome xcode
00:07:31
and xcode simulator android studio
00:07:33
simulator so many things open and this
00:07:36
video is also rendering on the side even
00:07:38
then it can handle but i feel sometimes
00:07:41
that it's slower than m1 air in ssd
00:07:44
speed and i didn't see any crashes
00:07:48
frequently on m1 air but in the first
00:07:51
week i could see that i can
00:07:53
kill this macbook air in terms of ram if
00:07:56
i push it you can see that it's getting
00:07:58
hard the mouse becomes irresponsive but
00:08:01
it's only possible if you open too many
00:08:03
apps and if you want to read and write
00:08:06
too much data into ssd one more problem
00:08:08
that you can use maximum one additional
00:08:11
monitor so that's why one wide monitor
00:08:14
is recommended otherwise if you want to
00:08:16
have another vertical monitor for coding
00:08:18
not possible but
00:08:20
overall in terms of
00:08:22
everyday life in terms of programming i
00:08:24
don't think you will see any difference
00:08:25
similar battery life as before 18 hours
00:08:27
of video playback 10 to 12 hours rose
00:08:30
because you will not feel like charging
00:08:32
and it's so light it's even lighter than
00:08:34
before and now the webcam is 1080p but
00:08:36
not magically better than before and
00:08:39
it's so easy to carry but i personally
00:08:42
love to use both macbooks now i'm gonna
00:08:44
keep both macbook air m2 and macbook m1
00:08:47
pro because i get the flexibility if i'm
00:08:49
taking my office laptop i can take the
00:08:51
lighter laptop if i'm not taking my
00:08:54
office laptop for a trip i can take my
00:08:55
heavier macbook m1 pro in my last video
00:08:58
i reviewed a 10 000 rupee laptop after
00:09:00
switching to macbook and m2 which
00:09:02
immediately coffee differences feel away
00:09:04
to explain that i want to share the
00:09:06
advantages you get by using mac os
00:09:08
versus windows number one key up
00:09:11
environment you can set up the
00:09:12
environment for coding immediately step
00:09:15
one download get timeout terminal get
00:09:18
and you will have git immediately step
00:09:20
two get visual studio code for python
00:09:22
java web development and all kind of
00:09:24
development all kind of assignments you
00:09:26
just need one app visual studio code and
00:09:28
you're all set you just add the plugins
00:09:30
and you're set in one hour step three
00:09:33
download a cloud storage like icloud
00:09:36
dropbox google drive so your coding
00:09:38
files are in that folder even if you
00:09:41
lose your laptop your files will be in
00:09:43
the cloud step four macbook may auto
00:09:46
maximize tool line so if you want to
00:09:48
maximize on the side and on on the top
00:09:51
so just drag and drop
00:09:54
naturally macbook
00:09:55
but after downloading it but after
00:09:57
downloading better touch tool you can
00:09:59
maximize it so you should steps
00:10:02
you are ready with the development
00:10:03
environment for for your
00:10:06
coding for your projects really faster
00:10:08
as compared to windows i i think you key
00:10:11
macbook these are the faster open only
00:10:13
maybe within one second like that so
00:10:16
because of that i was able to you know
00:10:19
set up the environment around one hour
00:10:21
faster on macbook the coffee difference
00:10:25
if you're using macbook versus windows
00:10:27
so you may be bobber advantage and
00:10:29
because of that advantage i feel like
00:10:31
macbook is worth it because you can set
00:10:34
up your environment quickly it is unix
00:10:36
based because of unix based android
00:10:38
studio is two to three times faster than
00:10:40
windows because android is unix based
00:10:43
mac os is unix based so unix unix qk
00:10:47
closer related operating systems to
00:10:50
development faster it's faster
00:10:52
development experience on unix specs for
00:10:54
android apps all the units unix-based
00:10:57
apps so that's why this whole ecosystem
00:10:59
makes it worth it every android
00:11:01
developer i know uses macbook every ios
00:11:03
developer can only use a macbook so
00:11:06
these small small things makes your
00:11:08
whole experience much better so that's
00:11:10
why it's kind of worth it and in terms
00:11:12
of my experience in terms of gpu like
00:11:15
agar app video render if you're
00:11:17
exporting a video i was really happy
00:11:18
with macbook air m1 it used to export my
00:11:21
videos in three minutes for 1080p video
00:11:24
and this can do it in two and a half
00:11:25
minutes so it's it's really amazing for
00:11:28
me to see that minor minor jumps and it
00:11:31
is not really important for me so for a
00:11:33
student like you i will still say go
00:11:35
with the m1 macbook air because it can
00:11:38
do everything what this macbook can do
00:11:41
and i have also used it for more than
00:11:42
one year for 150 videos for coding
00:11:45
everything you want you can do easily on
00:11:47
macbook air everyone the only reason to
00:11:50
upgrade to this is
00:11:51
that you can play games with more frame
00:11:54
rate you can have little bit jump in
00:11:56
performance like save 30 to 1 minute in
00:11:59
video rendering 30 seconds in android
00:12:02
studio project building 30 seconds up to
00:12:04
30 seconds so if you upgrade you can
00:12:06
save little bit of time but that time is
00:12:08
very negligible according to me so
00:12:10
that's why i'll recommend all the
00:12:12
students to go with macro gear m1
00:12:14
otherwise go with even a windows laptop
00:12:16
i reviewed in the last video it was
00:12:19
worth it as well so thank you so much
00:12:20
for watching and i'll see you guys in
00:12:22
the next one goodbye
00:12:24
