This review was awesome, just one part I was hoping, whether M2 handles things better with 8GB RAM. Hesitating between M1 16GB or M2 8GB - such a difficult choice. Ps - for Lightroom and PS.

@mirambekmustafin Год назад

@@spainweddingphotography more RAM is always better. I use M2 Air with 16 GB for development purposes and Docker only (for virtualisation) takes 8Gb!

@dariuspatterson7039 Год назад

I think the price ruined it still. It should’ve started at $1049-1100. A redesign and MagSafe shouldn’t warrant a $200 increase. If there was an actual display upgrade or if it came with 512gb of storage for the base sure. The second you start upgrading it is when it becomes a bad value. Plus the M1 Air is just an insane value still.

@jaeindapark Год назад

Totally agree, had it been the same price as the M1, would have been a no-brainer for me. Ultimately decided to go with the 14" because a higher spec M2 Air was just not worth it.

@jigglymonkey4317 Год назад

Technically it does have a display upgrade. Also 1080P camera and M2. But I’m not saying I disagree it still is a lil too mich

@torresstudios Год назад

It’s called inflation.

@tenka__ Год назад

Well, the display is an upgrade although ever so slightly. It's bigger and brighter than the older air and 13 inch pros, but not $200 more IMO. the 14 inch is still a way better deal.

There were somewhere around 14 scare videos that warned how bad this laptop is, but after six months, every reviewer is saying how much a joy this is to use and how none of them really needed all that power in the MBP.

@ahaimes6320 Год назад

Yes, they were clickbait to attract the anti-Apple mob. Great for views, likes, and money. The reality was that it was pure nonsense and entirely out of context versus the competition.

@dansanger5340 Год назад

Ironically, one of the reviewers back then who was saying it was much ado about nothing, and did a debate video with MaxTech about that very subject, has come out with a new video saying he was wrong about the M2 Air, and that he personally had run into performance issues.

@cujo2680 Год назад

Problem is price and base. 256 GB is a crazy base in 2022/2023 and the price difference is too much. I'm currently looking for a laptop because my Zenbook lost it's sound after installing windows 11 and it's looking like there's no way to fix it. I'm holding out until April to see if they push out a new MBA so the price of a refurbed M2 can be justified. Rn, it's 1799 CAD which comes out to $2000 CAD w/ taxes. Truly can't justify spending that much w/o a decent price cut.

@FrancoCastro Год назад

For me the biggest issue is the 8GB and 256gb SSD. I need at least 16gb of ram and 512 of storage but that increase the price way too much

I was in the market for a light and portable laptop and bought and tried many at COSTCO, which has a 90-day return policy. All of the Windows laptops with the new Intel chip had horrible battery life, ran hot, and had noticeable fan noise. So that pushed me to try Apple for the first time in my life. I first tried the the MBP 14, which I loved, except for the weight. It was also more computer than I needed. Then I tried the M2 MBA and fell in love. The battery life, build quality, and thin and light design are amazing. It also has a better keyboard feel than any of the Windows laptops I tried. Also the sound is great even though there are no speaker grills. It is the best portable laptop currently on the market. I got the 512GB, 8GB model, and it has all the performance I need. I do miss the screen size of my old Samsung Galaxy 15, but the battery life on that laptop was horrendous, and the build quality was lacking. If Apple comes out with a 15" MBA, I will probably upgrade to that.

@dawgcanjumphigh Год назад

I got the 14” M1 Pro MacBook Pro. That thing will last about 5 years of use. Or more, since I only use it for video editing. I do everything else pretty much on my phone. Apple or android phones, it doesn’t matter, I’ll do the same exact thing on the phone. I’ll still go to a local Apple Store to check out new apple products when they come out. It’s just that, I likely don’t even buy them unless I need it. The new MacBook Air is a nice machine though for things that don’t require video editing and you need something that can run programs for maybe an office job the phones and iPads can’t run.

@badmoose01 Год назад

I got a M2 air and am loving it. I came from a intel butterfly keyboard air. I didn’t really want a m1 air because it looks exactly the same as the intel air and I don’t want a pro because they are bulky and over $2000 for features I won’t use. People saying that it’s overpriced or overheats or the ssd is too slow haven’t actually used one and are hating because it’s trendy to trash on MacBook users.

@mikeboatright5349 Год назад

15" air would be nice. The only reason I'm looking at the 16" is because of the screen size. I don't need all the CPU/GPU but need the bigger screen now that I've got older. It's just easier on the old eyes. Currently on a 15.6" Lenovo but switching to a mac laptop here soon. Been using macs since 1991 at work but they switched to Windows around 2000. I still use my i7 mac mini at home and just love it. Would just like to have a more portable option and something not W10 or W11.

@CrowDazzle Год назад

@@spacecadet2172 I would have embraced the Touchbar if they left the ESC key intact. For me the biggest problems were the ‘new” keyboard, and their quest for thinness resulted in a lot of fan noise and a hot chassis. I had a lot of thunderbolt related problems with the 2017 MBP. When the 2018 came out I felt they were overpriced even by Apple standards at the time. I ended up with a 2018 refurb which I felt is what the price should have been. I didn’t use the SD card slot or HDMI enough for those to be deal breakers though. I guess I did like my 2018 MBP but it was more of the same from the last few years, noisy and hot I have a 2019 for work now and had a lot of thunderbolt problems with this one too. This time it seemed to be an OS issue but there was a blame game going on with Apple vs everyone else. I had to wait for the next OS for those issues to be fixed and wait for my company to bless the OS.

The infinite waiting for the next best thing.. which always truly does seem like the next best thing that you just gotta have. The M2 air over the M1 for the taller screen. That’s really it. M2 pro over M1 pro will be interesting, especially if it’s on 5nm. They’ll certainly have to add the features he mentioned- Face ID (making the egregious notch worth something), 5G, fancier Bluetooth, hdmi 2.1, and probably 300gb/s ram with maybe a 24g option. But all that.. really isn’t that but of a deal and makes the M2 pro so passable. I’m big on screens so the M2 air would be worth it for the screen and freeing up a port by returning MagSafe. But man.. what a long time to wait between the M1 pro and M3. 3 flippin years, and even then I’ll be waiting until the price drops $400 like it did with M1. Really want the 3nm on the pro. But you KNOW that after we get 3nm.. the big thing with the M4 will be OLED. It has to be. Cuz it’ll still be on 3nm- so no revelation there. And there’s really nothing else they can add hardware wise.. maybe making 1tb standard?.. but it’ll have to be the screen. Then M5 will be 2nm. Then a big redesign with M6, and then 1nm with M7. You heard it here first lol. I reallllly want that OLED screen.. but I just can’t wait that long.. might not be able wait another 20+ months for 3nm.

The only M2 Air worth buying is the base model at discount. As soon as you upgrade, the M1 Pro at discount is a way better option.

@L0p3s Год назад

I love the Airs form factor vs the Pro 14 (heavier and much thicker...). The problem is to make this things last 16 GB is imperative and 512 GB is not only a good must have, it's also much more important on this M2 Air than the M1 because of the single NAND SSD on the M2 (as probably all of us here know about). So you upgrade the Air to 16/512 GB, the problem with that is: this is a BTO (even if it is the 8/512 that is preconfigured with just a RAM upgrade) and the price is just ~€250 shy of the MBP 14" (both at MSRPs). And who pays €2100 can easily pay €2350. But then it gets even worse for the Air because this M2 Airs config is not a standard one (and it only as few months in the market vs one year of the Pros) and so I don't see any discounts on it. On the other hand I can the the Pro 14" for €2000/2050, which is even lower than the Airs price (even when trying to get a discounted one). So as much as I like the Airs form factor I can't ignore the Pro 14" at the same price, with a better CPU (and especially much better GPU), more ports (one more USB-C on the other side, HDMI 2.0 that supports 4K60 displays and SD card reader*) and a much better display (with better brightness, 120 Hz and miniLED). *sadly it misses a USB-A port EDIT: I used the prices on my country, Portugal (includes VAT, same in the EU)

hello, I've been watching your videos for 5 years now and even though I can't afford most of the reviewed models, thanks to you I have a much better overview of what bazaar model I'll buy and spend money on in the future... you're doing a great job, thank you for everything... :-)

@lancer1993 Год назад

My perfect MacBook would be a 15" Air, like most I don't need to power of the Pros I just want a bigger screen to surf the web and check eMails while on the road, video editing on the M2 is a just a bonus.

@kennytay7210 Год назад

There are some nice upgrades on the M2 MacBook Air, but I really don’t think it is worth that much price increase over the M1 MacBook Air. Not to mention the storage is slower on the base model. So essentially you gain some, you lose some with the M2 MBA. The M2 SOC also did not really step up from M1 in the MBA as it is actually throttling harder.

@ahaimes6320 Год назад

I consider it a 5+ year investment, so if it means paying extra for a better device, I will. With high inflation, exchange rate issues and supply issues, the price seems close to what I expected for a new design. In 12 months, the MB Air M1 will be discontinued, and the M2 MB Air will replace it at $999. This is Apple's business model. In fact, I have already seen the MB Air M2 at £200 off on occasion in the UK.

@Kaka..56p.s167 Год назад

Tbh , Even M1 air is overpowered for normal user tasks and day to day and also bursty heavy stuff, so M3 would be useless imo, for an AIR

Hope the 15" won't come with a fan. That's the one thing I love the most about the Air series. I don't have to worry about dust. And honestly, M1 is still op for my usage. It's like on the iPhone side, I'm still happy with the A12 chip. lol

@chi-towncalifornia5916 Год назад

Sure the thinness, battery life and lightness are great for portability, but long term users are still better off getting a base MBP 14 with the same 16/512 memory/storage configuration, for about USD 100-200 more now. The M1 MBA is still the ideal choice for lightness, since it’s reasonably priced.

@PfropfNo1 Год назад

Totally depends on the use case I would say. If you travel a lot or use the the MacBook on your lap a lot the Macbook air has some perks. If you use it mainly at home and Occasionally move the MacBook around the mbp is better I guess

@chi-towncalifornia5916 Год назад

@@PfropfNo1 You definitely have a point there. The three biggest negatives of the MBP: weight, thickness and battery life, are all positives for the MBA.

@williamwallace410 Год назад

Unless you are a professional video editor, you don't need the pro and the Air is superior in its lightness, fanless, coolness, snappiness...

@techinrl9869 Год назад

I actually have both a 14” MBP and an M2 MBA. I have to say the MBP stays where it’s at most of the time while anywhere I go in the house (I haven’t traveled yet), the MBA would come with me because it feels weightless. The 14” in comparison is bulky and heavy. If you like the weightless feeling and love the portability, the MBA is better to have than the MBP regardless of stats. Sure the MBP has a better screen, but you stop caring because the M2 is such a joy to carry around.

@DojoOfCool Год назад

Guess all you Apple sites do too much video and no music because all of you seem to ignore that the Macbook Air M2 still has an headphone port. If working in audio bluetooth causes too much latency so having a real headphone port is really nice means one less adapter hanging the MBA.

@zulzulzulaan2396 Год назад

@billbecker5357 Год назад

Should I wait for the M4? Or maybe the M5? Of the M6? I think they will have better performance and the hardware will be so thin you'll be able to drape it over the back of your chair.

@skyhigh8644 Год назад

Couldn’t disagree more about being best Macbook Air design, IMO the wedge design was better ie: better typing experience with no issues with the edge digging into your wrists and that notch is pointless, Apple was too lazy to design and engineer a notchless camera module.

@DavidEHaworth Год назад

Te main thing that put me off the M2 MBA was the support for only a single external monitor. I have 2 monitors here at home and I'm not giving one up. if I was buying all from scratch then I might have been interested in a single huge screen but that's not where I am...

@michael_dugan Год назад

I have a M2 Air in midnight with 16GB memory and 512SSD I love it. That being said the sweet spot for this computer is around 1500-1600 if you’re looking for power. Any more money spent on this is a waste compared to the 14in MacBook Pro. If you’re getting a base model, unless you have your heart set on the new design, the M1 is a better bang for your buck. Performance wise they are essentially the same and the slower SSD on the base M2 Air is a real issue. Unless you love the new design if you’re planning on getting a base model I don’t see the value of this over the M1

That thing’s battery life is crazy. I played 1440p Minecraft video at full brightness and played music from TheFatRat (that man is a legend) for 1 hour 15 minutes at max volume. I only lost 15% of battery after 2 hours 30 minutes of use. Edit: I also tried playing video at 480p without max brightness and max volume. That thing’s battery took 35 minutes to drop by 1%. Sometimes, the M2 Air is testing my patience.

@JoseDiaz-qw7mg Год назад

The halving of the ssd speed was the dealbreaker for me. Speccing a M2 MBA to 16gb and 512gb just because the 256gb ssd is much slower is not worth it. Its price matches that of a refurb M1 14” MBP, with none of the benefits of the latter

@williamwallace410 Год назад

I felt the same, until I actually bought the base model. I felt Apple did us dirty, but you don't notice the ssd speed in general use. It's still the best laptop out there at the moment. Ice cold, great screen, thin, light, fastest browsing performance, snappy... unless you do heavy video editing or gaming, you won't regret it.

@ahaimes6320 Год назад

The SSD speed is excellent, 50% faster than the Galaxy Book 2 Pro on battery. I think you got baited by previous videos. Unless you do constant transfers, you should get 1TB anyway or flood the RAM; you will rarely notice the SSD 256GB speed. People are easily swayed by click bait videos.

I think Apple believes they made the M1 MB Air too capable for its position in the line, cannibalizing Pro sales. Thus the neutered SSD in the base model M2, and the missing heat sink.
