Over two weeks of hands-on experience with the M1-powered MacBook Air has taught me one important lesson: never judge the capabilities of a computer by its size. What prompted writing this article? A Universal version of the Blackmagic Disk Speed...
It's time for a video teardown of Apple's new line of M1 chip Macs! Apple says the silicon is a "Small chip. Giant leap." Let's see how accurate that claim is. You may have seen our post on Wednesday with...
Apple's MacBook Air has always taken the back seat to the much more powerful MacBook Pro, but a look at the newest MBA powered by Apple's M1 System-on-Chip shows that the thin and light notebook can now claim the title of "speed demon" as well.
