This has been one of the best reviews I have seen. All other reviews make it so confusing deciding which one to buy. I’m coming from a 2019 Intel MacBook Pro 16” and I had that exact problem of deciding to get a overly upgraded computer for the bigger display. Even if the pro is a few hundred more, I still wont and haven’t used all the extras that has come with it. Thanks so much going to place my order for the 15” air with 16/512

the new air with apple silicon might actually be more powerful than an intel pro so you might as well upgrade to get the new design with more power and also get more for your trade in rather than waiting.

Apple spent a long time developing the 15-inch Air, so left us hanging for longer than we wanted. However looking at the product as a whole, a lot of thought has gone into it and it really looks like they have gone straight to number one with the best ultrabook in the world in the premium sector. With Amazon already making £120 discounts (in the UK) it is also very good value compared to say the similar spec Galaxy Book3 Pro 16. Not a good time to be releasing new products due to economic pressures, but I suspect it will sell well.

Ok just a correction. The MBP reaches 1000 nits of brightness ONLY when viewing HDR content, aka photos and videos, but for 90% of tasks, both the MBA and MBP reach the same maximum brightness of 500 nits, that is while browsing the web, coding, sending e-mails, playing games (I think), sending messages etc etc, so that brightness difference is not that significant.

Deep purple looks awesome especially in the right lighting, glad I got this color which you can't get with the 14 pro. that and the bigger screen make this worth while along with lower price, even if you upgrade it and the price becomes closer it's still better to have the slimmer design and weight/portability and you don't lose much as it's also faster.

I decided to jump the gun and buy the MacBook Air 15 inch but with 24GB RAM and leave the 256GB SSD since I have an 5TB external hard drive and seems people worry too much on storage due to only 1 chip which I get but after seeing so many videos and KZfaqrs doing “benchmarks” cause I don’t think I’ll see any difference in the SSD and I’m sure it can run very well with a lot of applications and especially having a gaming monitor so I don’t need a Pro MacBook, yes people will say I should have gone with the Pro but people underestimate how good the M2 Air is and it’s portability, I’d say if you love the M2 Air, go for It, just make sure to get more RAM whether it’s 16 or 24GB rather than storage

The Amazon price is good but no customisability. I'd never recommend 8gb unless you're keeping this short term. If you wanna keep this for i say 3 or 4+ years you need 16gb for the longevity. 256gb is fine as for less then the upgrade to 512gb you can get 2-4tb external SSD's. Slower sure, but better value for money. I got a 4tb drive for like £190 on sale a few months back and it will be my go to storage for any projects on the 15" air.
