NEW 2020 M1 MacBook vs Previous Intel Generation (Speed, Performance, Startup, Multitasking)



Please note that this is a very brief video showcasing some of the findings from my first 24 hours with the new M1 MacBook Air.

I have a “previous generation” 2017 MacBook Pro with the Intel chip and wanted to compare the two. As you can see, there are pros and cons to both.

I run both machines through a series of tests, including launching apps (both native and 3rd party like Chrome), multiple tabs open when internet browsing, restart, screen turn on times, and opening large resource intensive programs like DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Photoshop.
