Its almost been 2 months I've been loving it. Got our laptop a few days before release on June 8th, started unpacking it on June 9th for those who saw that video, and been rocking it ever since! Super super super... nice laptop to have. Hard to beat imo.

not really hard to beat though I mean for the spec you have you could have gotten the 14 inch Macbook pro 2021 and that's way better

so I wanted to upgrade my m1 MacBook Air, and I needed to work on 3D modelling and coding quite a bit. I was torn between the 15 inch air 24gb ram and 512 gb storage vs the base 14 inch pro. Decided to go for the pro for the following reasons 1) more cores present on the pro (better for modelling) 2) no point in spending extra on 24 gb ram when probably won't even need it 3) the 14 inch is more portable (inspite of being heavier) because most bags can't fit the length of the 15 inch air 4) I also work a lot on photo editing, and the display on the 14 inch pro is just better 5) for a hundred bucks extra why not 6) resale value of a base model 14 inch pro > resale value of a similarly priced MacBook Air because apple doesn't give you extra resale for upgraded specs

Hey Andres, thanks for the review. Your videos are amazing in terms of quality and necessary info, very well done. My question is that, in your previous video about m2 air, you've said it may not be worth to upgrade since m1air is a hard to beat laptop. (Referring to daily tasks, not coding or editing etc) Apart form 13" to 15" difference in m2 airs, do you still recommend m1air in late 2023 for a first time mac buyer? Should i go for the m2 chip aiming for the long term or go for the M1 since it can do my work pretty good while saving some money? Thx a lot.

Hey Andres I have been watching you since like you were under 10k subs, and you have grown so fucking much both in terms of subs, and content quality since then, from making basic monitor reviews and day in the life videos to cinematic intros that literally take my breath and ass away. You have come a long way, with this said I wanted to ask you Andres if you could make a video about the best way to set up an ipad as a secondary development machine and it's capabilities and limitations when it comes to dev work. Because my brain is in a crisis recently if whether i should get an ipad or a MacBook, the ipad checks all the boxes of my requirements except the development experience, i know it's possible to do dev work on it but how much is my question Keep growing broski, you are my comfort KZfaq channel 💕💕

Hey thank you so much for this video, it has been crazy helpful but I'd like to ask u a question personally if u have the time to respond. I am choosing between an amazon renewed m1 pro 14in and apple refurbished m2 air 15in for college. At this point, they are both the same price. I will be doing anything from normal work study to pretty intensive creative work (possibly even 3d rendering). I have a 240hz external display I wanna hook up to the laptop w/keyboard, mouse, and mic. For my day to day, away from my setup and hooked up to it, which laptop do u think will last longer and provide the most gratifying experience? Also, will the m2 air with no fan prove harmful to the laptop over long work sessions w/my setup and continuous use over 4 years? Thanks!

@Eric-qi9us 9 ай бұрын

as a person who's writing this on my 13 inch m2 MacBook Air, I got to get my hands on the 15 inch one this week. I recommend the 15 inch one. What I love about my 13 inch one is that it is so light and portable that I bring it pretty much anywhere. So I thought the 15 inch will sacrifice the portability. But dang, I was wrong. The added weight on the 15 inch is so slight that you don't feel it at all and it doesn't affect the portability by any means.

I love my base 15in Air. I have always upgraded my laptops in the past to at least 16gb of ram and a 512gb ssd, but for me the value proposition fell apart as soon as I added one or both of those features. Might as well as just buy the 14in pro! I must say that in my use, I have not noticed it one bit. The 256gb is plenty enough storage, and I simply utilize cloud storage or an external SSD for large files. Plus, it's not like paying the extra $200 for the 512 version is getting you out of the "storage problem" regardless. Again, if you are a power user, the fan-less design isn't for you anyway. Go for the pro. But for light to medium use, (I am a writer by trade) the base spec is the only one that makes real sense imo. Coming from a PC, Mac os does a great job at keeping the system feeling snappy and I don't notice any different coming from my PC with 16gb of RAM!

Hey Andres, as a developer with M2 Air too, I highly recommend a super ultra wide monitor for development. Since it only supports one external monitor it offers pretty much true 3 monitor configuration for my code editor, browser and console for observing stuff. Truly production boost. 4k is sharp but I don't seek very sharp text, rather bigger screen real estate. Cheers.

Your videos are amazingly well done! Great explanation of your experience with the new M2 15" Air. I still prefer my 13", but would be lying if I claimed I wasn't tempted to try the 15". Maybe I'll give it a shot when the Air gets the M4 or M5. Agreed on avoiding the base configuration, at least for RAM. I always get a minimum of 16GB for any laptop. I've got a couple of 1TB flash drives if more storage is needed. Oh, a suggestion for mobile audio with your Air -- iLoud Micro Monitors. They punch way above their weight class for such little guys. They make my Air a sweet little entertainment system on the road.

I got myself the 15 Air with 24GB RAM and 256 SSD, the reason why I went with the configuration is cause I use a gaming monitor as a 2nd Monitor display which can use significant energy when I have 2 windows open on an browser so that extra RAM is very useful and there is NO alternatives for extra ram while I do have a 5TB external hard drive which there is many alternatives and having a bigger screen on the MacBook Air for less then 2000 bucks is just insane value. I was thinking at a Pro version at first but just to have the 14 M2 Pro is already 2000 bucks + tax and I don’t really need the HDMI port since I already have a USB Hub, overall I love the portability of the MacBook Air 15 and upgrading it from my Intel 2020 MacBook Air is a huge Win for me!

If you’re recommending 16GB early in the video (when you can get up to 24GB), is this enough for most coding use these days? I’m debating base 14” Pro 16GB, vs a packed 15” Air 24GB - I’d like the pro screen more (brighter to code outside), but didn’t want to splash out more cash for 32GB. Thanks for any insight!

For anyone else interested - I've compared pricing between a Refurbished 15" Air (yes, they're on the Refurb store now!), 24GB memory, 1TB SSD. In the UK, this comes as £1,869 (£160 off even the Uni Student pricing!). There aren't any listed at this at the moment, but I can see that this is the price, thanks to Refurb-Tracker website. It also shows 14" M1 Pro (8C CPU/14C GPU), 32GB, 1TB for £1,929 - only £60 more than the Air 15" Refurb above. I think I'll go for this one - again, I'm using the Refurb-Tracker website so I'll keep an eye out for this, and update here if I'm successful with either!

Really wanted the air as its a little bit lighter but I use my macbook 100% for editing Video and experienced with my former 13“ air sometimes some performance drops. So in the end I am happy with my choice and I found a good deal on Amazon which made my Pro just 350€ more expensive than a similar specked Air. Have a great Sunday and cheers from Germany.

The new 15" MBA is nice but I think the 14" M1 MBP or the base M2 MBP is a better value.

yeah I think it just depends on peoples needs and what they truly want :/ But in terms of power yes I agree.

@@andresvidoza It also depends on what someone can get in a deal at the time of their purchase. A lot of people said I should get the Air but i ended up with the M2 13 inch pro because I was able to get it at best buy for $1050 during one of their usual computer sales.

honestly, you made the right call upgrading, but once are in the price point of a Mpro chip the MBP starts to make more sense. it comes base with 18 gigs of ram for one, and the fans will really help cool down the CPU under heavy load. you had thermal throttling when you added the 4k monitor or edited in 4k, so that would be the use case that seems to really push someone into a MBP vs a air. thanks for the video! I'm interested in picking up a 15inch air once the M3 chip drops into them so I'm glad to see it will work out for what I'll use it for.

Great video again! Love this laptop but I will wait little bit... My bank will come kill me if I buy it ( I just switch and bought the mini M2pro). 😂 I have a question for u and the community : I search something to hot plug some 2,5" Ssd ( x 3) to the Mac mini... Thunderbolt if possible.... Something like your SanDisk pro station, but only for Ssd! Does it exist? Thanks 🙏😊

well even if they say that the 256GB model is slow because of the 1GB/s read and write speed it's still blazing fast. My $1300 desktop pc's read and write is around 550MB/s

I loved my 13” MBA and was excited to try out the 15” but I made a video on my realization… I will say I can edit fine on the MBAs but I love it better on my iPad Pro and then I have an M2 Pro Mac mini… so rn I don’t have a “need” for a MacBook and if I get another one it’s def gonna be a 14” MBP

Currently ordered 15inch Air 8GB/512GB SSD. Went for the bigger SSD because it's a lot faster. Also the bigger screen is game changer for me comparing it with the 14 Pro. The size is just massively different. Also the Air really looks like what all the future MacBook's should look like. It is so tin and light. Also in my country the Air 8GB/512GB SSD is 3699 BGN compared to 4770BGN for the base MBP 14" M2 which is like 550 EUR more expensive. Only thing I really will miss is the 120Hz Refresh Rate on the Pro but then again, if you are using it everyday and not compare it to 120Hz screen you will even not notice it.

You made a good choice, macOS animations are twice as slow on 120Hz panels for some reason , 60Hz ironically smoother (120Hz still smoother for scrolling)
