Apple decided to develop and use its own processors on Macs and released the first 13' MacBook Pro with the new ARM-based Apple M1 chip. But, does it really perform as well as the Intel-powered MacBook Pro?
Apple offers the Macbook Air. The current generation comes with a 1.6 dual-core Intel Core i5, 8gb of ram, and discrete graphics. Although you may upgrade the internal storage, the memory is capped at the 8gb. The Macbook Air is honestly a bit underpowered when it comes to video editing.
- The MacBook Air is powered by a modest Intel processor from the Y-series of processors. Though it is customized by Apple to serve better with its OS X and utilize the maximum of its capacity, it is still a reasonably low powered for a video editing powerhouse machine.
- If you need a sleek, lightweight, and low budget for modest video editing, then this is the only option for you. With Apple's software tools optimized for video editing, the work becomes more comfortable and swifter, though not the fastest or most powerhouse MacBook, the redesigned Air does get the sturdiness of a Mac at a less hefty price tag and does serve as best budget MacBook for basic.
The market is dominated by powerful Intel and AMD processors, and Apple has been working with Intel for a long time. However, the disruptions and delays on Intel's side forced Apple to make and use its own processors on the Mac line. Apple has been making chips for a long time and using them in iPhones and iPads already. The company introduced the new 5-nanometer M1 chip, with more CPU and GPU cores, which is more efficient and powerful on paper. The first 13' MacBook Pro with M1 chip is already available, but does it really perform better than its Intel predecessor?
In this video, Max Yuryev tests the performance of the new M1 chip on a 2020 13' MacBook Pro with 8GB unified memory installed. He performs some basic benchmark tests based on 4K video processing and decoding and also runs demanding tests to see how well it performs in terms of thermals and power use. The test also shows how it performs with the most commonly used video editing software that are optimized for Intel processors.
The new 2020 MacBook Air has been introduced with some new features at a cheaper price than the 2019 model. The new model has the latest 10th generation Intel processor with better graphics, so let's find out how it handles video editing.
The MacBook Air might not be the first choice of on-the-go video editors; however, the new 2020 model comes in $100 cheaper than the previous model, with a better keyboard (the one that is used on the new Macbook Pro) and faster graphics. At first glance, the new Intel chips used on the new MacBook Air have low base clock speeds, but the turbo-boost clock speeds are high enough for most of the editing tasks.

Videographer Max Yuryev tests the new Intel i5 MacBook Air by using both processor and graphics-intensive tasks and compares the results with the previous generation i5 version and the 2020 base model that comes with the Intel i3 processor. In addition to the basic benchmarking tests, Yuryev also demonstrates 1080p and 4K editing on the new model and shares his results and thoughts in terms of performance, thermals, and noise.
