I recently had a chance to test out the new Apple MacBook Air with Apple’s M1 Silicon chip and I wanted to see how it compares to my 15″ MacBook Pro for photography and videography needs. In this review, we will be taking a closer look at this machine and see how it compares to an older generation MacBook with an Intel processor.

Posted on December 16, 2020 by ShutterBug
