They combined all the technology they had so far from their iPhones and iPads and created a powerful chip for their Mac computers, the M1 Silicon. Meanwhile, Apple’s A14 chip in the iPhone 12 uses 5 Watts, it uses just a phone battery and performs better than Intel’s flagship chip. One of the best Intel Chips, the Core i9 10900K is a desktop chip that uses 125 Watts of power you need to plug into a wall to use it. In the past 5 years, Intel managed to increase its performance by 28% while Apple increases its performance by 300%! They were getting faster and faster consuming less power (which is very important in the year 2021). The chips inside the iPhone kept improving through the years. That’s because it has a different architecture than traditional Intel or AMD Mac/PCs. Sometimes the iPhone is faster and snappier than any computer (even desktop computers). Well, in a few words, imagine how fast your iPhone is when loading and running apps. If you are a professional photographer or videographer, you will experience a totally different world using photo editing (Lightroom, Photoshop, Capture One, etc.) or video editing software (AdobePremiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Filmora, etc.) on the new Macbooks with the M1 chip! Why is Macbook Air the best for Photo Editing? Yes, the new Macbook Air and Macbook Pro with the new Silicon M1 chip made by Apple, is THE BEST laptop for Lightroom and Photoshop! Period. I won’t get into too many details but get straight to the point.

It might not be too late to add the new Macbook Air or Macbook Pro to Santa’s list for this Christmas (except if you are very very naughty)! Trust me, it would be the best gift for a photographer or video creator like you!
