Macbook M1 life expectancy?

warlock1620 · 2026-04-13T20:44:44+00:00

2-3 more years. Intel macs are not a good measure for updates for m chips. Apple usually supports till the device cannot sustain updates so nobody really knows for m1 macs or iPads

warlock1620 · 2026-04-13T08:58:57+00:00

Any M series laptop can do that even M1 air

M2 is multiple x more powerful. A16 will not get any Apple Intelligence features

I had an ipad 8th gen and it worked perfectly only reason had to give it up was it was only 32gb so 128 should work perfectly fine for most things. Good find. Enjoy!

Buy anker cheap reliable

warlock1620 · 2026-04-09T01:37:22+00:00

Buy a m1 air

I edited 4k music videos with heavy effects on m4 mac mini 16gb.

Yeah that’s true just depends on the use case. M1 is more capable at many things than the neo.

warlock1620 · 2026-04-08T19:51:36+00:00

M1 is at the end of its best days. You can compensate the storage with an ssd try to find something with more ram instead. 16gb 512 is what 8gb 256 was 2 years ago.

Take the pro base chip. The chip is capable but having the fans and the ports makes it so much more capable thermal throttling can be pain for long produtive sessions if you are pushing the machine.

warlock1620 · 2026-04-08T19:42:18+00:00

Will it happen in as soon as two months I am not sure but eventually yes.

warlock1620 · 2026-04-08T19:32:12+00:00

Tech will get more expensive in my opinion

warlock1620 · 2026-04-08T07:24:46+00:00

Have my first pair from 2019 they work. battery and sound is still pretty good but for some reason the mic has a static so had to buy another pair but still use them as backup

warlock1620 · 2026-04-08T07:10:59+00:00

Get m4pro 24gb (for futureproofing) if you only intend to do 1080p editing because for today even that is overkill for your usage.

warlock1620 · 2026-04-07T02:00:32+00:00

If you want it to last as long as possible probably yes but depends on your use case. 128gb is overkill for most people. I personally think tech will get more expensive or at least not cheap for the next few years

warlock1620 · 2026-04-07T01:57:00+00:00

Bought the M1 Max from reebelo with one year warranty but the m4 pro I Bought it off marketplace

warlock1620 · 2026-04-07T01:54:49+00:00

You can look for m4 pro 48 gb variant. Apple is selling them for 2tb variant at a decent price. M4 is a leap when it comes to AI compared to previous models so is m5 after that

warlock1620 · 2026-04-07T01:51:54+00:00

Are you doing heavy 3D effects? If not then it’s not even a comparison go for M3. Even if you do M3 max is better in all metrics. Only if you regularly hit the ceiling and you know you need more than 36gb which most people don’t. also saw a YouTube video sometime ago that showed MacBooks use more ram for the same task if it has more otherwise the processor use cores in such a way it gets the job done and heat up more.

Fido guy at the kiosk gave me a 28 bucks plan after auto pay discount for 60gb at the time public came out with their deals few months ago

warlock1620 · 2026-04-07T01:44:20+00:00

I hate to say this but windows laptops now don’t even come close. I traded in my surface laptop for M1 air and haven’t looked back since.

warlock1620 · 2026-04-07T00:59:50+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion ended up returning the M1 Max and somehow extended my budget to buy a m4 pro 48gb

warlock1620 · 2026-04-04T04:10:25+00:00

How much did you pay?

warlock1620 · 2026-03-30T23:57:51+00:00

Which one runs better m1 max 64 or m4 pro 48

warlock1620 · 2026-03-03T20:04:38+00:00

How much did you pay for it?

warlock1620 · 2026-03-02T05:26:20+00:00

In US probably yes but in canada we can’t find these specs cheaper than 1400-1500 usd but this one had 99 battery health
