The best laptop so far, for lightweight task but also music production

This is the best laptop, if you are doing lightweight music production. Due to the SSD, it is fast and runs the music software. Of course, if you want to run like a pro, get a Macbook Pro. But with this, you can start out your music projects with little effort and sketches.

Not ideal

I really don't recommend trying to make music on a computer with <16 GB of RAM. Playing back only 4-8 tracks at a time each with a few plugins was enough to overload it pretty reliably.

Perfect for Music Production

Perfect for music production, the fact that i can just unplug it and make music on the go without dropping in performance comparing to windows machines already made this the go-to.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

More RAM Less Storage.

This Laptop Is Extremely New To Me. Got It A Few Days Ago Through School. 8GB RAM, But Sadly, Only 120GB Of Storage. So For A Person Who Is Making Videos, Recording And Mixing 30+ Tracks On Songs, Listening To Music, Writing Essays, And Much More The Amount Of Storage Is Less Than Ideal. However 8GB RAM Is A Nice Upgrade From My Pro Which Had 4. Compared To The Pros It Feels Very Light, Which To Me Wasn't Such Huge Deal. The Weight Of The Pros Was Fine For Me. It Wasn't A Big Deal. Due To It's Weight It Feels A Bit Cheaper, But Maybe That's Just Because I Came From A Macbook Pro. I Also Noticed That The Actual Screen Is Smaller On The Air 13 Inch In Comparison. The Maybe Took An Inch Off On Every Side Of The Screen, Not Sure Why, Maybe To Make More Money, And Though I Doubt There's A Reason Better Than "It Saves Us Money Which Means More Profit" That Doesn't Mean It's Not Possible There's Some Legitimacy Behind All Of This. But I Can't Do A Super In Depth Review Of This, I've Only Had It For A Few Days. Maybe I'll Review Again Once I Have More Experience With It.

Best 'budget' MacBook one can get

It is thin, light & powerful as said by every MacBook user in the world. It gives crazy battery backup, I've used this at live gigs. On 70% charge, I used Logic Pro & MainStage for 5-6hours continuous with my WiFi on, surprisingly battery dropped down only to 20%. No other laptop gives such a crazy battery backup. It has allowed me to produce music professionally at my home by simply connecting my instruments through MIDI.

Great computer for music production

Picked this up at the Apple store for $1200, and it works wonders for making beats with things like Garageband pre-installed, and getting Ableton Live and Adobe Audition on it is a breeze. Runs my entire studio. Everything I do is done on this thing. No spinning hard drive, fan-less, dead silent, LONG-ass battery life, light and perfectly portable. I take this thing everywhere.

Small, Easy, Awesome.

My laptop is a 2015 MacBook Air. Its served me well, allowing me to use Ableton and Serum rather seamlessly (After I freeze my tracks). Only issue I have with it is the amazingly small amount of ram (A whole 4 GB). Though, that's what I get for buying the lowest model.

M1 2tb 16gb is enough for most orchestral projects!

All working very well so far, major upgrade over all previous apple laptops. Extremely smooth and immediate in all tasks.

From Gear Setup

Slow

Its slow but very light. I use it for garageband and fender tone. It works but i wish i saved for a macbook pro

Solid

Light, easy to carry, fast processing, only drawback, no CD port and smaller storage space. You NEED a external CD drive and external hard drive
