About

For Business/Sponsorship inquiries - Email me [email protected] My other channel is going to be steered towards somewhat of a mix between a behind the scenes of making this channel and also generally how to make YouTube videos look especially nice: https://www.youtube.com/@NicholasJamesJohnson Apple Computer Reviews, tech reviews, home networking and some DIY and upgrades/installs.. Also physics and occasional experiments and a bit of edutainment for interesting historical general concepts. I closely follow the LiDAR sector and specifically a company called Microvision. My name is Nicholas Johnson. My formal education is in mechanical engineering and math - but I am a photographer @nicholas_james_johnson instagram and I work in the art world designing and installing truss and lighting plans for art fairs around the United States. I love computers, and make videos about Apple Silicon, Raspberry Pi 5 and I build PC's.

Video Description

Apple M4 MacBook Air vs M4 Macbook Pro, which mac computer provides the most value while still being capable enough for video editing, photo editing or just regular computer work stuff? The M4 MacBook Pro: https://amzn.to/4dZr4tI The M4 MacBook Air: https://amzn.to/3HVvGFf That USB-C hub I showed : https://amzn.to/3Fsvc8y My Keyboard (I love it): https://amzn.to/45PmZ9v If you like my editing, I use MotionFVX for titles and fades (this link gets me a little support if you buy anything): https://motionvfx.sjv.io/Qj3yja If you shop on amazon, you can support my channel simply by saving this link to get to amazon home page! https://amzn.to/4o6Hyov I use "MX Power Gadget" for the graphs I tested the M4 Macbook Air against the Macbook Pro and compared their hardware, thermal throttling, their ability to play modern games and I give a little lesson about 16GB of RAM and how RAM compression makes that act a little more like 24GB of RAM! Heres a list of that stuff I use to make videos in case you want to buy it because you like how it looks! The Lens: https://amzn.to/3XMLMWY The camera: https://amzn.to/4kOvRBm The slider that moves the camera back and fourth: https://amzn.to/3FrtwMx The other camera: https://amzn.to/4kR5Lxy My main light: https://amzn.to/3FtSP0p My haze machine: https://amzn.to/3FpKX07 0:00 intro 0:46 Hardware comparison 2:03 Removing Thermal Pad Mod 2:52 Differences Between Air & Pro 4:05 Screen Comparisons 5:26 Minecraft! 6:02 Regular Computer Office Work 7:08 Video Editing Final Cut Pro 8:09 Photo Exports from Lightroom 10:16 Gaming on M4 MacBook Air vs Pro 12:06 Is 16GB Enough RAM? 13:35 I am No Power User After all
