Thanks for the comparison. I agree if I already had a M1 Air it probably wouldn't make sense to upgrade but since I am upgrading from my now 7 year old MBP I went ahead and spent the extra $$ and ordered the M2 Air

@Pearl2677 Год назад

Great comparison! I just love this kind of postings! Very informative. Please keep them coming and thank you 😊

@pfh777 Год назад

Thanks so much for an awesome video, your production is amazing. Quickly: m2 camera: clearer, improved colors. Audio: noticeably clearer while using camera. Video: clearer and brighter display. M2 generally better performance for applications where buying an Air makes sense. Higher intensity uses - buy a MBP.

Another excellent video, Daniel! I've been using an M1 12.9" iPad Pro + magic keyboard as a sorta laptop replacement setup for about a year. It's worked pretty well, but I'm ready for a real laptop as my mobile computer. The M2 Air (Midnight 16GB/512GB) is the one for me. Just gotta deal with the wait until August 3.

I still prefer the wedge shaped MBA, it was the main differentiating factor in terms of design between Pro & Air. I will stick with my M1 MBA.

@ninoluciosantiago Год назад

I know Jony’s old designs for the Pro and Air caused the keyboard and ports issues but those really are very good designs. People looking at it side by side wouldn’t think the new M2 is thinner without measure them. At first look the wedged shape one looks “thinner”

Based on the scratching around that USB port after one use of it I suspect there's going to be a Paint/Scratch issue with this machine.

And I assume that the fast charger will work just as well on the M1 MBA, wouldn't it? And I'll be keeping my 2019 16" MBP for the heavy lifting in FCP, so the sheer performance is not critical for me. I think the standard M1 MBA is good value, and I'll probably get the base model (256GB); very good value.

@brentsmithline3423 Год назад

Love the midnight blue color. Midnight blue very close to "Back to Black". If I was going to purchase the new M2 Laptop with no name on it that Apple called MacBook Air it would be midnight blue color. When the Apple MacBook Air first came out, and Steve pulled it out of the interoffice envelopes with string 10x13 I though I would get this in a heartbeat if I only had a need for a laptop. Still do not have real need for a laptop, however last March when Apple did not come out with a 27-inch 5K M1 iMac I purchased a M1 MackBook Air, and 27-inch 5K VESA mount/arm as my replace for my 2014 5K 27-inch iMac. My hope is that Apple keeps the Jony, and Steve design around as a SE entry level $ 999.00 version of the MacBook Air. Just keep it with the previous version M series SOC for normals who just do things like eMail, surf the web, and watch your RU-vid type clips. The loss to the link, to one of the Steve moments during presentations will hurt if Apple does not keep the original MacBook Air design around.

It is good but maybe no worth upgrading if you have the M1. It is a matter of taste but I like the ergonomics of M1 more and also the sound seems better on M1 too. Nice comparison, thanks.

The Logic track test doesn't say much without showing all the plugins you are running for each track and also which plugins as this will play a huge role. Just playing tracks alone without anything surely can give you over 200 tracks, but the plugins and VST's are what makes this test interesting :)

I have a pro for music and graphics. I wanted an Air for writing and general use, and for me, the M1 is so much better. M1 feels like it targets a different audience, the slant is very nice for writing, and I think the design is much nicer. M2 just feels like a less significant version of the Pro, and now it's only about 100 quid cheaper than a 13" pro, so whats the point in it?

@jimgessner6071 Год назад
