Apple’s M1 MacBook Air is an excellent laptop, with great performance, great battery life and very reliable software.
However, this is one small problem with it. Because of the lack of a fan, the performance throttles down a bit compared to the M1 MacBook Pro.
In this video, we compare the FIXED AND MODDED M1 MacBook Air to the M1 MacBook Pro to see just how close the performance can get when you don’t have to deal with thermal throttling.
We also used our thermal camera to check the temperatures of both machines, including the bottom cases, to see if there are issues with using it on your lap.
