Apple notebook has excellent appearance design, ad-free MacOS, and the logo that was bitten off, which is loved by many users. But the price of Apple notebooks has been high, which is prohibitive. Recently, the M1 version of the MacBook Air dropped to 5318 yuan, and at this price, it has to be said that Apple laptops also have a cost performance.
In terms of performance, M1 is a large-scale processor based on Apple A14, which has four performance cores + four performance cores, and the performance is about equivalent to Intel's ten-generation low-voltage i5 processor, which is completely sufficient for daily use. At the same time, it has a seven-core GPU, which is about the level of the GTX1050, which is completely excessive considering that Apple laptops cannot play games. The most important thing is that the M1 processor uses a low-power ARM architecture, which is very low power consumption and almost does not heat, so the M1 version of MacBook Air does not need active heat dissipation, is quieter when used, and also has a good battery life.
In terms of screen, the M1 version of the MacBook Air uses a 13.3-inch screen, which is still very small and easy to carry. This screen has a high resolution of 2560*1600 and the display effect is fine. The screen also covers 100% P3 color gamut, which has a good color display effect, which is very suitable for users who do design. In addition, the maximum brightness of the screen reaches 400nit, which is still very advantageous in notebooks.
In other aspects, the M1 version of MacBook Air as a flagship laptop, its workmanship is very exquisite, and its appearance is also very high. 1.29kg light weight, easy for us to carry. The ad-free MacOS system is simpler to use, which can greatly improve efficiency and reduce the interference of advertising. The notebook also has two USB4 40Gbps ports, which are very expandable, and there are no problems with external monitors and large-capacity SSDs. PD charging is common to mobile phone chargers, just bring a charger when you go out. In addition, the MacBook Air also uses a large trackpad, which can operate the computer well without a mouse.
Now the M1 version of the MacBook Air dropped to 5318 yuan is really too fragrant, very cost-effective, after all, this product was released for 7999 yuan, and the screen, appearance and other aspects are completely in accordance with the flagship product. Excellent battery life has become its plus. However, the M1 version of the MacBook Air is only worth buying in the 8+256GB version, and in today's era of memory and solid-state price reductions, Apple's storage price difference is almost the same as the money grab, and the money can be used on more advanced Apple notebooks such as MacBook Pro.
