I've been using it for 3 years as a college student in nursing. Works great with many applications/tabs open and I even run premiere pro on it. 8gb is enough for the average person.

I have the MacBook pro m1 pro but my computer charges fast as hell.. Second, the computer lasts about 15 hours on a charge so how slow can it be assuming your actually using your Mac to work and not surf only fans..If you "hate " this $1000 computer you got for free I would hate to see what happens if they gave you a Chromebook. This is a luxury computer one.of the best ever made that you got for free. Imagine the people forced to work on a $200 dell..But in all seriousness I assume it being a work computer means you use it during work hours. You could charge this up in less time it takes for a lunch break but you "hated it" ... just wow

I have the m1 air. I am not a power user and pretty much bought it to have a bigger iphone.

Anyway during covid i picked up intense biking and also had a gopro8. I tried to make movies on iMovie and it would crash and overheat all the time so i gave up. I dont think the m1 can handle much.

It certainly can. It depends on what codec you use and what program you use. Ideally you want footage / codec that takes advantage of the dedicated encoding chips on the m1 so the gpu isn't doing the work, and a program that supports said codec

I tried to sell mine on FB Market place for $500 with no luck so I traded it in to Best Buy for $575.
The MacBook Air M1 is probably the best bang for your bucks laptop out there even in 2024. Tho I wouldn't pay $600 for used/refurbished unless it's factory refurbished.

Curious, if it's the best bang for your bucks laptop in 2024, what did you trade it in for?

Absolutely no issues for light photoshop and video editing and bad browser tab hygiene.

I was able to create 4K videos just using the preloaded iMovie, and da Vinci resolve. Never had a problem.

Couldn't find that deal. Got a link?

They go for $150-160 on eBay all day every day [ebay.com]

$25 for the RAM [amazon.com]

2TB drive for $84 [newegg.com]

SSD prices have gone up a bit since I bought mine - paid $66 for a 2TB Samsung Gen 3 drive a few months back - Got the machine from Woot (they come into stock every so often) because new battery and good return policy.

Looks like the price right now is $140 (computer) + $25 (RAM) + $85 (SSD) = $250 spot on the nose

I've had this setup for about 6 months and it's fantastic. It's cheap enough to not worry about it, it's super durable as it was a business laptop, the battery life is excellent, keyboard is superlative, and the screen is legitimately nice.

Depends what you're using it for?

I use it for streaming, working, tasks like that.

M1 is much faster, but it's more than twice as expensive.

I gather most people aren't rendering movies or mastering audio.

If you want a Mac, buy an M1 mini and the $250 laptop. The Minis run about $350 second hand, so you can get both of them for the same price as the MacBook...
