The result was not a “single sign of sluggishness”, and he was only able to slow the Air down after opening 12 apps, 24 Safari tabs and six Safari windows (all of which were playing 2160p YouTube videos). He was “actively reckless” during the test, leaving multiple apps open and opening as many Safari tabs as he fancied. Over on 9to5Mac, Stephen Hall pushed the 8GB M1 MacBook Air to “ the absolute limits of my normal workload”. But, then, would you really opt for anything less than 16GB if that kind of video work is your bread and butter? Clearly, if you’re into heavy video editing work, 8GB is going to cause you issues. In that scenario (which is, incidentally, pretty niche), the 8GB M1 took eight minutes longer to complete the task than the 16GB model. In all three tests, the 8GB version lagged behind its 16GB big brother, but it was only the 8K export to 4K in which it was comprehensively crushed. His experiments focused on Xcode, video exporting and Lightroom. And it has drawn a raft of opinion from people who really know their onions when it comes to specs, benchmarks and really putting these machines through their paces.įor instance, YouTuber, Max Tech, recently conducted a 20-minute deep-dive into the difference in performance between 8GB and 16GB of RAM on an M1 MacBook Pro: The RAM debate for M1 Macs is interesting, though. I genuinely don’t care how high a computer’s Geek Bench score is if it helps me become more profitable as a creator. This is partly because I’m not smart enough to understand what all of those numbers mean, but mainly because I’m far more interested in how devices feel during everyday tasks.

Imagine if you bought the 8GB version only to find out later that you should have spent that extra £200… It’s a choice you need to get right first time, too, because there’s no user upgradability. The price difference between 8GB and 16GB on the new M1 MacBooks is £200.

The current builds have some strange behaviors with shades of grey canvas backgrounds. Keep that in mind if you’re publishing to an onscreen format like a read-only Word document or PDF.

Color adjustmentĬhanging the on-screen page background isn’t a simple as you might think. Changing the page background to another color (not shades of grey) still works on-screen. This all applies if the page background is white. There’s clue that a label change is in the works. Should really be called something like ‘Disable dark page’. What it really does is disable the ‘Switch Modes’ button on the ribbon and leave the edit area with a white background.
