QUOTE(pisangkakimasak @ Mar 7 2022, 08:45 PM) Sifus - 1. That depends on what software/apps you used before. If picture editing Photoshop is fully compatible. Streaming can use OBS.I plan to buy MacBook air m1 to replace my daily driver. I only used Windows laptop before. Usage is for browsing, doing research, picture editing, YouTube, streaming, video call etc, nothing major or require much power. I read and watch reviews and seems this is a great buy. But I have some concerns: 1. Alot of windows app still not compatible with M1. Is this true? Will it affect what I'm trying to do? 2. Should I buy 512 or 256 + external SSD? 3. Read that it is very expensive if want to repair the SSD. Can cost thousands. Is this true? 4. Do you recommend me to buy extended warranty? Feel like it's a waste of money because my iPad Air 2 has not have any problem for the past 6-7 years. 5. Anything else I should consider (especially cons) before buying? Thank you.  2. If you plan to use is for the next 5 - 10 years you should get the bigger storage option. Otherwise you'll always need to keep an eye on your storage. Mac caches tend to fill up the storage pretty quickly but you can always delete it. 3. I dont think SSD for M1 can be replaced. 4. Don't need. 5. Don't buy. Wait for the Macbook Air M2. It should be announced during next keynotes in 2 days. |
