Is the M1 MacBook Air finally dead in 2026? With so many options available—from the budget-friendly M2 Air to the powerful M4 Pro—choosing the right Mac can be confusing. In this video, I break down exactly which MacBook offers the best value for money in 2026. We look at why the 6-year-old M1 might be a bad investment, why the M2 Air is the "value king," and who actually needs the power of the M3 or M4 Pro. In this video: 0:00 - MacBook Buying Guide 2026 0:06 - Why you should AVOID the M1 Air 0:17 - The Best Value: MacBook Air M2 0:27 - For Future Security: MacBook Air M3 0:35 - Power Users: MacBook Pro (M3/M4 Pro) 0:48 - Should you buy the M5 Max? My Recommendation: If you want 4K editing on a budget, go for the M2 Air.
