review

As stated on Tom's guide page about MacBook air m1 16GB ram

 

The MacBook Air's performance — powered by the M1 processor and 16GB of RAM — is phenomenal. When I split its screen between 20 Chrome (Intel, not Universal) tabs and a 1080p YouTube video — plus Apple's Mail and Photos app, Pixelmator (again, an Intel app) and 1Password (Intel, again) in the background, I never saw anything close to a hiccup.

 

Oh, and in the background, 20GB of 4K video was being AirDrop transferred, while everything stayed smooth and stable.

 

During a group call, I even found time to play around with iOS apps, downloading and opening the Overcast podcatcher, HBO Max and the game Among Us. All while a 4K YouTube video of a chef cooking played on my laptop monitor, I played around in each of those apps, so I could start an Adventure Time episode, download a podcast and drag my Lil Among Us guy around on the screen. Yes, I'm very good at multitasking.

 

All this was done at the same time without problems, yes it is an amazing device.
