Compared to the Intel-based Dell XPS 13 9310, one of its closest competitors, the M1 MacBook Air is a whopping 42% faster in the multicore Geekbench 5 test. The only laptop able to keep up with M1 Macs was the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, which has an AMD Ryzen 9 processor (i.e. However, the mid-2020 Intel MacBook Pro and Intel MacBook Air feel like two snails in the M1 MacBooks’ tracks. When we tested the M1 MacBook Pro, we didn’t see any discernible performance difference against the MacBook Air. During benchmarks, Apple’s new M1 chip often starts up 10%, 20%, even 30% or more ahead of the competition. When you lift the lid, the MacBook Air wakes instantly, regardless of how many programs and tabs you may have open (trust me, I usually have 100+ Chrome tabs and five programs open at any given time). The new M1 processor, built from the same foundations as Apple's iPhone and iPad processors, is the fastest processor we've ever seen at this price. That’s almost 4 hours longer than the HP Spectre x360 14, the longest-lasting Windows machine we’ve tested until now. That’s right, the MacBook Air lasted 12 hours and 49 minutes on our Google Chrome-based battery test. If you watch them all on a fully charged M1 MacBook Air, you will have a little over an hour to spare to tweet about your marathon-just enough time to go back and save the Shire. If you watch all three extended edition movies for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, you will spend 11 and a half hours immersed in Middle Earth.

While the MacBook Air has traditionally been aimed at casual everyday users, the M1 processor is the same that powers the new MacBook Pro, bringing the Air’s capabilities up to par for all but the most demanding tasks. The M1 Air's premium build, blazing speeds, and reasonable price make it the obvious choice for most people.
