@brett.tech: Welcome to nerd school (everyone’s invited) #macbook #apple

Grahm :

This is mostly Apple fanboy fiction. Windows does not just throw apps into RAM "first come, first served". Macs do not "skip" memory management, and there is no magical "top of the bucket" faster RAM. An 8GB Mac can beat some cheap 16GB Windows laptops, especially if the Windows machine has a weaker CPU, slower SSD, or worse overall design. But that’s a whole-laptop comparison, not proof that Apple invented wizard memory.

Stuger :

You talk too fast and its horrible to listen to

gszacsi :

Nope, it doesnt outperform. This macbook is good for netflix, tiktok, browsing, basic document creation and thats all. Multitasking, multiple (not apple specific)apps running at the same time will kill it. This laptop could have been a tablet 😅.

o1dz :

8gb of unified memory is honestly better than 16gb of sodim ddr4 disregarding memory management or optimization.

igotnoclueguys :

This is a random question but can you test adobe premiere pro running on that? I’m expected to use it for my class next year but have no Mac products and I’m trying to figure out if I really have to burn my wallet and get a MacBookPro

Nessa :

Is it worth it for a WFH job? Mostly for using Teams calls with 20+ tabs open (genuine question)

punisher201020 :

Apple did one thing differently... they use special en- and decoding chips to handle video files. I have no idea why windows wouldn't do that as well. After all, most cheap phones have similar chips build in and that's why a 500 dollar phone can handle GoPro files with easy and a 5000 dollar PC can't.

Dota4Ever86 :

Yeah It can't 👍 Anything that costs the same outperforms Apple by a lot 👍 Enjoy your ewaste

Nubbnubb :

You talk at the perfect speed, is so satisfying to listen to

smiler__uk_🇬🇧 :

Brett. Really wish you would make a slightly longer video and speak slower. It’s really difficult to understand and learn when you speak so fast.

Zach M :

Not totally right in all cases. Some CPUs have integrated memory controllers some delegate to the chipset on the mobo.

pikkumi :

Cool tech but consumers sacrifice choice with everything being integrated. My laptop aint no powerhouse but I can choose to install or remove my hard drives. Plus ram is also removable

Emmanuel Flor :

I like when you talk 2x on your vids, but not for this

Dan :

Any thoughts on using Claude code on this device?

nuvolkint0n :

Why my video is at 2x?

luna 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 :

macos also uses a lot less resources to begin within which mean there’s more memory for applications.

Frankie Fernandez :

Nicole :

The way you explain tech is top notch. Much appreciated 🫶🏼

Rob :

Would love to know where memory compression comes in, because when Apple launched memory compression the speed boost was legit.

Julien Verdure ᖭི༏ᖫྀ :

That’s very interesting, but you need to calm down and speak slower 😂

anna :

don't listen to the comments u speak at the perfect pace

felineparadice :

Also because apple silicon means that the cpu (the processor chip) and gpu are on the same tiny piece of silicon, with the RAM fitting neatly right next to it, whenever info needs to move between these components, it isn’t as far and so it generates less heat. When computers generate too much heat, this thing call thermal throttling occurs, which is when the computer purposely slows itself down to cool down (otherwise it’s dangerous). Since apple silicon combined with macos means there’s less “work” the computer has to do, less heat is generated overall and thermal throttling (computer purposely cooling down) occurs a lot less.

Miles Watterson :

Can it support 2 monitors I have a older MacBook Air and it dosent support it

Fraser :

I could watch theses videos all day 🥰

DR : OMAR THARWAT :

Is neo can run exocade dentist??
