Thanks for watching! I know this wont do as well as a video about a phone. But It's nice to mix things up once in a while :)

I got the base model M2 Air on launch day. It's been a beast for me. I work on my computer many hours a day. Mostly doing "regular" computing tasks, with some Photoshop and audio editing mixed in a little each week. This thing handles everything I throw at it no problem. And the battery life is insane. I think it's the best laptop for probably 90-95% of people out there. Unless you genuinely push your machine harder with video editing or something else graphics or processor heavy, the base M2 Air will work great for you.

I switched to Mac after nearly 7 years with Dell XPS 13… actually, 4 of them. Had to return each one for service within 12-18 months. Now, I’ve got the M2 Air (16GB/256GB) and love it! I’m a writer and don’t use anything more intense than Microsoft Office or Photoshop. 256GB is plenty for the documents, manuscripts and PDFs I work with daily. The M2 Air’s build quality/performance is outstanding. I ain’t never going back to Dell.

I bought 512 M2 model back in August and I love it ~ I've had no problems with it ~ Even if Apple announces announces an M3 version I see no reason to upgrade ~ If I did have one problem it would be finger prints on the camera lens when opening it up ~ Thanks for your review we are on the same page ~

Great video! Most reviews talk about hardcore video/photo editing which isn't really applicable to regular light everyday users like me. I think I want to get the M2 for the bigger display. Thank you!

Great video! Love how you present information. Minor feedback on 1:14, the stand and position of the laptop was awkward but overall, looking forward to your future videos!

I'm watching this video, on my new 13.6 inch M2 MacBook Air, screen resolution and sound is really good. I upgraded to 16 gigs of ram memory, and 512 SSD storage but, kept the 8 core GPU. I'm a longtime Windows desktop user since 1999 with Windows 98. My last Dell desktop had Windows 7 Pro with 2T hard drive, cause I had a website, and build my own webpages, that's why I upgraded the Air. This is my first laptop, and I love it, very user friendly. I have the iPhone 13 Pro, so wanted something that would go with it. Soho Apple Store in NYC helped me set up my Air, and sink it with my phone. After the Mac class I checked out the 15 inch Air, was not impressed. Screen resolution was not much better than the 13.6 Air. I had them play Beach Boys "Wouldn't It Be Nice" to check out sound, was louder but not better than the 13.6 Air. My Air fit in my crossbody laptop briefcase, and I was able to walk around NYC with no strain on my shoulders. I've had my MacBook Air now for 5 weeks, and really like it. After my last Dell desktop barely lasted almost 2 years, with Windows screen going out on me, I gave up on Windows. I do recommend for future proofing to upgrade ram and storage. If you can't afford to do that right now, wait and save to do it. Don't be in a rush to buy the latest base Mac, just to say you got it, only to find out it doesn't do what you want it too. Personally I think Apple should make the base model Air 16 gigs of ram, and 512 storage. Allot of the tech guys on here say base model is ok for students, and grandma. What happens when your teacher asks you to do a more advanced lesson, but, you don't have enough ram. Or grandma doesn't have enough storage to put photos of little Timmy and Lassie. Not everyone had pro desktops, or laptops. If this is going to be your only computer, upgrade to better ram and storage. But, hey that's just my opinion. Which ever model you get, you will really like it. Great video very informative.

Congrats on the followers. I remember watching one of your first videos about the S22 Ultra last year. Your channel is good bro.

Good content. Area of improvement is to remove the slight fisheye effect on the visuals - it messes up the viewing on a large screen. Thanks for considering the feedback.

is there a heating up problem in m2 air ? Did you check the degrees in a warm environment ? Whet happens if it gets warm much ?

im a student and need a laptop for school, i would also like to have a laptop for light gaming such as minecraft and other things like that (heavier games aren’t really necessary) The macbook air 2022 m2 did really catch my attention but im still wondering if this thing requires everything i need for such a high price. If the macbook is my type which color should i get

do you think it could withstand screen-recording sessions of average lenght (20-30 min) with OBS ? with a talking head from my iphone camera ? and some light video montage in camtasia ? I have a 2020 MBP (last gen with intel i5) and it SUCKS, it gets super hot and the fan noise is so loud. thanks in advance my friend :)

Thanks for the review. What is the name of the pole light in the background?

How much space is free on the 250GB with just OS on it? Great, review btw. Seems like a great backup/secondary laptop.

I’m glad to hear a positive statement about the M2 Air cause a lot of people have been very negative on the M2 Air that it gets too hot or anything else about it. I ordered the 15 inch M2 Air and excited to try It! Especially I got the 24GB RAM with the Base storage since I have a 5TB external drive

Now that the price has dropped on the M2. I’m thinking about getting one! Gonna be my main computer also gonna use it for content creation. Thinking about using external ssd for storage but bump up the the ram to 16gb

What wallpaper did you show off in the video, looks great.

Bro I wanted buy a macbook air m2 base model as a student for coding and editing but many youtubers are saying that it has ssd problem it is slower than m1 thermal problem etc etc but i love the m2 design now i am really confuse should i buy it or not pls tell me I can only buy base model of air m2 because higher model of m2 air is really expensive in my country so give me some suggestion should i buy m2 air base model those problems are really a big issue pls tell me.

Which is the best gaming laptop you recommend??

Hi! Is mackbook air m2 enough to use with Final Cut Pro? To make a KZfaq video?

So I can just use this for online business like Ecom and be fine? No hard video editing but maybe lite video editing ?

Can you check out the Asus ux6404 ? I want Mac but like windows also. Asus QC scares me though. Considering jumping to Mac refurb .

Was torn between M1 and M2 MBA but went with M1 due to performance being the same/similar. It was cheaper and better speakers lol. Also heard the SSD on base 256gb was better on M1 so decided to upgrade ram too

Unrelated but got a used M1 for like 560 that was barely touched. Works like magic, i can only imagine wat an m2 air is like

Yep, the displays on MacBooks put them in a different league to all other machines. Best of all, apart from the gorgeous design, the jaw dropping screen, the slick keyboard and the OS, is - I can put this thing on next to my bed, playing a KZfaq longform white noise video and when I wake up in the morning it's still playing and hasn't even gone below 90% on the battery. If I'd had a business making laptops, I'd have retired the day after the new M1 Air's came out. More or less cannot be competed with.

Hai valis and friends.... one of your subscriber ❤... Brother i would like to knw is it worth of buying macbook air M2 with 16gb ram and 512 gb ssd. Please suggest me to buy the best. I heard that 512gb ssd is better than 255gb in terms of writing speed and processing. Or else do i need to wait for M3 macbook air?

I really wish to buy an M2 base model, but the anoying thing is that I wouldn’t be surprised if the M3 model is announced somewhere in the coming months. I hate the idea of buying one and then a couple of months later the same laptop but with a much better chip releases.

What would you recommend for a teacher who’s only going to use this for video conferences and do writing/reading reports and basic tasks like streaming online? Should I future proof with 16gb or stick with the base model or go for 512 ssd? Really confused. It’s quite an investment too for me, so I know I’ll be using this for years to come. I’ve been a windows user all my life but the slowing down of my HP to the point where it wouldn’t even open up apps sometimes has pushed me off the edge and I’m going mac. Please help!!

is this the 13 or 15 inch one?

Can’t believe it’s been a year already with the m2

I just purchased a 2023 Macbook Air 13.6" w/ M2 chip, 16gb RAM, and 256gb SSD... at a local pawn shop for $700. At first, I was skeptical as the machine had never been used, the charging block hadn't even been unwrapped yet... and, the owner said a lady bought it brand new, never used it, and pawned it for a couple hundred bucks and, she never came back! I feel like I got a great deal - since the base model is $1200, the 16gb Ram upgrade adds $200, and with tax... it's a $1500 machine for $700... I'm happy, and then... Apple released the M3 chip! WTF! (*I'm still deadset on getting the 16" MacBook Pro with the M3 later this year!)... so I'll have both soon enough!

What is that wallpaper? Link?

What wallpaper is that?

I am using 2020 MacBook pro intel 16GB 512SSD. I find 16 GB is just not enough… although running my business on it works fine but lagging. Would you recommend the MBAir based on my current version?

IT IS NOW 1099! or 999$ with student discount!

I will start my journey as a computer science student, I am not sure on buying M2 Pro or M2 Air, which do you prefer and is Air enough for writing codes, developing applications etc.

Wait, the Notch doesn’t House FaceID ? 😅

I just purchased one of these, and it's just so good. The battery life alone is amazing.

Great review bud. Is the 512gb SSD faster than the base 256gb?

I’m starting on YT, time to get a new laptop, I use Filmora, is this one worth it? Don’t know when the m3 is coming out or if I just stick to this one

I am confused between MBA M2 8/512 and MBA M2 16/256. I am a college student and majorly use apps like zoom, teams, obs etc and web browsing majorly. So pls help me out choose between upgrading the RAM or the storage as I can afford only upgrading one of them! Pls reply.

I owned an M1 MBA before selling it to get the M2 MBA. To most people, it's not the wisest decision. But I bought the M2 for £800 (or 1000USD) which was an irresistible deal considering the base M2 MBA in the UK costs £1249. Performance-wise, I couldn't tell any difference. But the screen in the M2 is absolutely stunning. It strangely feels lighter as well (assuming that the boxier form factor distributes the weight more evenly or maybe it's just me). Also another unpopular opinion - I love the notch! If budget isn't an issue, I'd recommend the M2. However, the M1 with its legacy design and already overpowered chip makes it the more sensible choice between the two.

our boi Vali at 20k let's go 🎉

I have a MacBook Air M2 with 512gb, I like it a lot honestly I heard they may announce a 15 inch however I think for the price I am better off just keeping my MacBook Air 13.6 inch.

Just a quick note, the 512GB model and above are faster and do use more NAND chips, the base model does actually have two 128GB chips, one on each side of the motherboard. The 512GB model has 4 128GB chips. The effect is the same, more chips means being able to read write in parallel, but just in the interest of being accurate, its not a single chip design. There are full tear downs on this and the m2 mac mini where you can see the multiple chips when the motherboard is removed. Sorry for the pedantic comment.

How would you say this laptop is for students? I’m considering between the 16gb variant of the m2 air and the M1 Pro 14 used. Then again I do like the thin air shape more since I will be moving around with it. What’s your opinion?

I cant decide whether to get the M1 Air or M2 Air... I would have upgrade the RAM to 16GB and storage to 512GB but cant decide if the M2 would be a benefit. Any recommendations?

Thanks for sharing the review. It really helps!!! BTW if I open 20 safari pages, word, excel, PowerPoint, zoom meeting, and Apple Music at the same time will 8GB RAM 256SSD M2 Air be capable of handling all the tasks and running smoothly???

there is an issue on the heating problem

I love mine but 0:20 leak was we all been waiting. Uniqe design we know and love, instead of a slimmer MacBook Pro. It's so thin but I don't think it's unbelievably thin.. body is yes, but screen is kind of thick

I'm long time android and windows user that's past the elementary quarrels. I'm a huge proponent of buying what makes you happy. I really like the new design of the M2 and I was super excited about getting one until my research yielded the problems with the SSD on the base model. I'm not a millionaire, so paying more than $1000 unless it's a serious business investment is kind of silly to me, so I'm not giving apple $1399 for an 8gb/512gb MBA. Of course, I could've gotten the M1 but getting better I/O (without carrying a dongle), having a stronger chip, more storage, a better screen, etc., was just a better deal.

Will 8gb ram be enough for video editing with 4 open chrome tabs?

hey bro, what kind of keyboard do you have? Thanks in advance!

My wife dropped her 2022 mbp in the parking lot. Landed flat like a pancake and took it like a champ no damage!

1:07 "I'm going to show you what to expect with an M2 air" Me: Neat, it comes with a free cat.

Im still unsure about the notch

A person getting it configure properly will make it a great laptop. 16GB and 1 TB

So what's the conclusion. For some 1 who is going to use it majorly for video editing. 4k m1 macbook air video with 16 GB Ram and base SSD will work? Or a pro m1 with 8 GB Ram. ?

I am gonna get my MacBook Air M2 8 GB Ram with 512 Gb storage 😍😍 I am upgrading 😍

What about gaming?

Base model or top model not very big difference

What color is this MacBook?

Thanks!

Is it worth it? Should I buy it? I need your help!

(M1 MBA 16gb 512 gb) vs (M2 MBA 16gb 256gb) vs (M2 MBA 8gb 512gb) which one is best in performance according to you ?

if i buy 8gb Ram with 512 SSD storage, it is good enough for me to do editing like photoshop and illustrator?

7:22 It's not pronounced 'Te-tri-eri' but 'Tur-shuh-ree'. Don't feel offended, just sharing the correct intel.

if you're not doing 3D rendering all the time, or playing AAA games on it, just get it. it's literally the best laptop on the market right now by far. does it have 120hz, XDR Display, etc? no. but you won't care.

It’s a 10 bit panel

Apple should try more minimalism. one usb-c port left, one usb-c port right and a removed notch should be enough. If I could add something: Face ID Cam and eSIM.

Watch your hands !!!

i like the mak pro

Got the base M2 air for 899 at best buy. Can't beat that price.

no because a tetriary device is where you play tetris on

You mean to say if my purpose is to stream youtube everyday. M2 macbook air is not enough?

Video production

Mentioning ASUS in the same piece as Apple is like comparing sour green apples to apple pie.

These videos are cool, but why do they all assume we’re editing videos? I actually don’t know anyone who does that, other than the people who make these videos.

This will be my last mac i will buy. Things are better when Steve jobs was around. Tim only cooks $

Oh jebus, we have the same name 😳 Also, please learn to touch type. How are you a tech guy but type like that? I recommend you try typing practice like keybr. You start slowly and it progresses automatically depending oh how well you're improving.

like bro

👍👍

The MBA is an entry device, it’s not really a usable device. By the time you’ve added extras it’s just not worth it. Performance is less, screen is not close, sound, ports on both side, and let’s be honest the weight difference is nothing. It’s just not a device you can love. It’s pointless. Get the pro, get an extra year out of it and it’s just better every which way.

I hate it, it literally sucks ass and can’t even run KZfaq without crashing. I don’t even have any apps or anything special on it and it acts like a MacBook from like the 18th century.
