I have the midnight but the space grey is gorgeous! Although I dont regret my purchase, I didn’t realize grey was an option at the time and it definitely would have been one of my top choices.
Yeah I agree. I used to be a big space grey fan when it come out a couple years ago but soon everybody got it and a lot of people’s macs look the same. Bought the m2 in silver this year and it’s great. Definitely stands out at uni next to everyone’s space grey laptops.
People often forget about other issues with midnight colour (other than fingerprints) First of all, I have it and it's my personal choice so I am not bashing it in any way. BUT, when you are plugging in the usb c type connections on the left side, they can scratch and you will see a silver colour beneath the midnight. Other colours do not have this problem.
i totally agree; i have a midnight; and i see two issues here: fingerprints and scratches that can be seen easily. but the advantage of silver is that you can never see a fingerptint or even a deep scratch. it looks new even after 1 year
@@JC-tg5xx This might have come 6 months too late but my sister has space gray (I have silver for my personal laptop and midnight for my work laptop) and my sister's space gray has visible scratch marks that show the silver underneath, my personal laptop (silver) will be 3 years in December and it still looks brand new because scratches don't show as much, I just recently got the midnight for work and although the finger print issue is showing less on the new coating, it still does happen more than on my silver and I have to be very careful with handling it because scratches will probably show up on it more noticeably so if you're bothered by fingerprints and scratches like I am, lighter colors like silver or starlight might be the way to go, but if you're okay with them or are careful enough with your things to avoid them, I can definitely say the darker colors do look really nice too (I think the midnight looks way too dark though, so space gray would be a good choice if you want to go dark)
I owned Midnight for a while but then switched to Silver and couldn’t be happier. To me Midnight doesn’t as look as premium after a while. Also I love the contrast of the keyboard with Silver.
I think the silver hits different. I have the M1 MacBook Air in silver and it looks pretty from a distance. I also think the flatter lid with larger apple logo in silver makes it look more beautiful in the newer design
Your words perfectly describe why the silver was so intriguing for me. I ended up switching to silver after getting some time with both colors side by side. On top of that, my work machine has always been a Space Gray MacBook Pro. 3 different jobs, always the same color MacBook. This was my first personal MacBook and the Silver looked nicer and also gave me less anxiety lol
Thanks for the unboxing. My 1st choice is also silver. Having said that, I have one technical critique on your video. It's the brightness exposure level. It's too bright and it's hard to judge the true color of the laptops. The silver is almost white since it reflects so much but It should be light grey color. I'd crank it down by -1/2 to 1 stop exposure. Thanks again!
@@slyfox720 same! Starlight is such a gorgeous neutral, like a soft sand or champagne. much warmer and softer than the cold grays.. My office, bags and clothes are all classic neutrals, so it goes with everything ;)
I think I would go with the midnight 15 inch mac, Im not really sure why since I might get annoyed with all the finger prints, I just think the midnight is really cool and it just stands out to me the most.
The 13 inch in midnight for sure. It's light, portable, the sound quality is actually really good. I do get the appeal of the bigger screen but I still vote for the 13 inch.
Midnight is trash, RIP spacegrey. Also the stupid and unnecessary notch gets *slightly* less bad the bigger the canvas witch innit of itself is reason enough to go for 15 or 16.
@@kristianolsenlarsen nope, doesn’t bother me honestly. I’ve had mine for like 2 months now. Doesn’t bother me at all. Everyone is welcome to their own preference I guess.
True, the fingerprint issue on the midnight can be annoying, but then the dirt sticking to lighter-colored wires can also be very annoying. I also like the absence of contrast vs the keyboard and the screen. I just got myself the midnight! I also bought myself a half-palm cover in midnight for protection and helps avoid the fingerprint issue as well. :)
Appreciate you showing all the color options! This was the funniest (and most informative) one I've seen so far. Thanks for putting in the time to inform us!
Silver looks relatively natural. Of course, if the current MacBook Air or MacBook Pro is also silver, you might as well try others, which are also good choices. Thanks for the review guys.
I have a MacBook AIR M2 - Starlight and I am absolutely in love with the color. It gives a really rich feeling. I was supposed to go for midnight but I changed my decision at the end which won't ever regret!!
Just, place midnight in the case, and fingerprint issues will be fixed. I will definitely go with 15' midnight. it's just beautiful, especially with a dark theme lover programmer.
Starlight is such a gorgeous neutral, like a soft sand or champagne. much warmer and softer than the cold grays.. My office, bags and clothes are all classic neutrals, so it goes with everything ;)
After 2 years of using the midnight, i can say it is not only the fingerprints. It looks the least premium cheap device after sometime. Even though, I really liked how professional it looked liked to me when it is clean. Also scratches are very visible due to rhe silver color below the black finished color.
I got the MacBook Air M2 15” in Midnight and I love it I think it looks amazing! the fingerprints are not an issue for me. I thought the majority in the comments would dislike the midnight but they don't! It really stands out.
13” vs 15”: I think that “hunch factor” point is really important. If your back starts hurting from naturally tending to lean in to see the screen; it’s really taking away from the point of having a lighter laptop. also I have never met a single person who is constantly flying, further more have never met anyone who actually gets meaningful work done on an airplane. I feel like the airplane argument for the 13”-15” air is ultra exaggerated and extremely niche but constantly brought up. If you’re constantly flying, chances are you can afford a fully loaded 14” pro. For me Id go with the 15” air because it’s cheaper than the MacBookpros, while still being very powerful and very sexy. It checks off all the boxes for most people.
Battery King, Easily work 2 days or 16 hours on single charge, I charged the laptop to 100% at 10.00PM, then closed the lid without turning it off, then on next day morning at 11.00AM I started working on website development with 50% brightness [ no music etc. running in background ], then stopped for 2 hours from 4.00PM to 6.00PM again closed the lid didn't turn off, then again worked from 6.00PM to 9.00PM, and closed the lid with 55% battery left, then on next day again started work again at 11.00AM with same schedule and at 7.00PM battery was at 10% plugged the charger by the time I am done working battery was again at 100%
Don't charge your macbook over 85%. Because it cause your battery health and cycle always charge your macbook on 20 or 25% to maximum 85% it will last longer❤❤

They have a different feel in-person. When I went to the store my very first impressions were: Silver: Classic/old Grey: Safe/basic Starlight: Classy/chic (Needs to be seen irl) Midnight: New/dark Needless to say I'm biased and went with Starlight
People love to hate on the notch, but coming from a 2015 MacBook Air, it makes total sense to me. The notch is a conscious and functional design choice with the new Macs. It allows the user to open the MacBook up, without getting smudges on the rest of the screen due to the super thin bezels. The feet on the new MacBook Airs are horrible though. It constantly slides forward when I want to open it one handed (As a Mac should be opened with that premium Apple hinge).
Still love my 13" M1 MacBook Air for everyday use, but I am excited that a 15" option is now available for when I decide to upgrade in the future. These Apple Silicon chips are absolutely amazing!
You could just upgrade now and get more for your trade in, I got $500 US for a base M1 Air. If you use student discount they give $150 off and $150 gift card promo.
I have the 1st gen M1 MacBook Air in gold (although it looks more of a rose gold) and iPhone 12 Pro Max in gold. Something about the golden tint elevates the aesthetic from studious to elegant for me, so Starlight all the way! But as much as the 15" screen is calling to me, I didn't jump from a 2013 MacBook Pro to the 2020 M1 Air just to upgrade to the next chip. I'd like to sit on this one for a few more years :)
My first MacBook was the 2020 M1 air in space grey. I loved it so much that I upgraded to an M1 Pro a year later in silver and gave the air to my wife. This past year I bought one of the new 13inch M2 airs in midnight black and I like it a lot but I gotta say. Something about the old 2020 M1 airs body/frame I like a lot better. Sometimes I’ll pick my wife’s up and just admire what a sturdy little MacBook it is. I don’t feel the same way about the new chassis on the M2 air. It just feels a little more fragile to me.
@@pumpxray yea you’re right but who buys air to work it into a scenario where this even matters? Answer is nobody. Anyone who would need the kind of performance you’re griping about would already be in the market for a Pro. Base model m2 air is totally fine for 98% of users. And I have an m1 air, m2 air (base model) as well as a 14inch M1 Pro so I kinda know from first hand what the fuck I’m talking about.
I have had the 13 inch Midnight since the day it came out. Honestly, I don’t even notice the fingerprints anymore. But Starlight would be my second choice. I miss the gold MacBook Air.
The midnight version is beautiful, but not practical. The color actually chips off around the USB and Magsafe ports. So overtime you will have silver rings and scuffs around the ports.
@@ncramz1662 Yeah but still not as bad as people make it out to be. I loved the color but hated the small screen on my midnight 13 inch lol can't wait to get the 15
watching Unbox Therapy review on the 15" MacBook Air helped me decide on which 15" MacBook Air I should get. I purchased Midnight and I love it fingerprints are not an issue.
I just got the 13.6 M2 MacBook Air with 16 gigs of ram memory, and 512 SSD storage in color Silver. I think the Silver is very elegant, as an Artist I really like that one. This is my first laptop, and I love it. I'm used to Dell desktops, last Dell I had, had Windows 7 pro with 2T hard drive. I used to have a website and built my own web pages. The 13 inch is so light weight, and in the laptop briefcase cross body doesn't put a strain on my shoulders. Taking the Mac class next week. The 15 inch sound is louder but, I don't think it is that much better than 13 inch Air. The best sound quality is on the pro models.
Ordered the MacBook Air M2 15” in Silver, it’s a classic color and looks clean! Considering that I wanted a bigger screen MacBook but didn’t want to pay the Pro price, this was an easy choice! The 16GB Ram & 1TB SSD price wasn’t too bad either for what you get!
@@badvibes- I’m so torn! Do I get a bigger display and save $270 or $300 bucks. Or do I get that pro motion 120hz and have a slightly smaller screen. I hate how close of a comparison the products are. If I didn’t need 1TB Air would be way cheaper and make sense. But spec’ing up on the Air, it’s so close to the Pro cost wise.
Mbp is the way. Recently upgraded from m1 air to m1 pro mbp16 and it completely changed the way I use a laptop. I’d suggest going pro for the thermal headroom, better speakers, better display, better keyboard (subjective), more ports, faster chip, dual monitor support. And if you’re on a budget I’ve had nothing but positive experience with Apple Refurb as well - m1 pro prices are looking real attractive rn.
Completely agree. In reality I’d say a higher proportion of people buy a MacBook Air simply because it is an apple product. I can see why some would disagree and see it as overpriced when cheaper, better performing products may be available. I can also see the argument that they are pointless when the pro offers far more in terms of value for money in regards to performance. For the money yes, there may well be cheaper and better performing alternatives. However as a business Apple have marketed their products to make them desirable to the masses. They put this product right in the sweet spot of their target market and have angled their marketing to make that target perceive their brand as desirable and high quality. Regardless of individual opinions of Apple, they are far and away the best at this. Above all other reason, that is why they are so successful. Love it or hate it, they are excellent at what they do.
I have only had Space Gray colors up until now where I ordered the Silver. A little brighter and cleaner looking to me and every now and then a change is good.
I am going for the starlight in the 13 inches. As a writer, portability is key because I'd ideally like to spend more time at the library or wherever. The 15 inch is really nice, though!
Just picked up the midnight. The 15 inch air at this price is going to sell like crazy. Got it for my wife bc she wanted a bigger screen. Moving on from the 11” iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard
For me it's 1. midnight 2. Space Gray 3. Starlight and 4. Classic Silver. Silver is only last because I've been using a 2015 MacBook pro so long I'm bored of the color.
I’m headed to the Apple Store tomorrow and wanted a preview of the colors! Thanks so much for this. I’ll be getting the 15” MacBook Air. Not sure if I’ll get Silver of Starlight!
Dear Unboxing Therapy, I wanted to reach out to express how much I would appreciate having an Anker Adapter 120W. My laptop is no longer functional, and I'm in need of a new one, but unfortunately, I don't have enough money to afford it. Your videos are truly inspiring, and I hope you can help me continue my work by providing the much-needed adapter and, if possible, a MacBook. Warm regards, Omar
My choice: Space>silver>midnight>starlight. My wife's choice: silver>starlight>space>midnight. I upgraded my wifes 2019 macbook pro (space grey) to a m1 macbook air (silver) in 2020 and had been envious of its long battery life and silent operation. So I upgraded my 2018 13" macbook pro (space grey) to the 13" air (space grey) this year and its my absolute favourite laptop ever. Silent, long battery life, powerful, light weight, premium build. Before apple silicon i would have never touched an Air, but now its perfect for my needs.
Which color would you choose?
Black
I've always wanted at least one apple product tho 😅
Midnight for me.
Green 🍏
Or black
Midnight 15" is a superstar. Despite the issue of the fingerprint, the dark colours help me concentrate on work especially paired with the dark theme.
@@HiBunnyGames 😄
The fingerprints are more of an OCD projectile then a software mode matching the metal💀
I thought of that same thing! (mix between dark mode and midnight for concentration). I have no ocd about fingerprints.
well said!
Just bought the midnight blue from Best Buy. Spectacular Color
Space Grey for me. I like mine in a balanced light and dark shade. And for me it looks more solid in appearance.

Anyone who would need the kind of performance you’re griping about would already be in the market for a Pro. Base model m2 air is totally fine for 98% of users. And I have an m1 air, m2 air (base model) as well as a 14inch M1 Pro so I kinda know from first hand what the fuck I’m talking about.
I’ll go for Silver for sure! Looks super clean 🧼
The Midnight really looks good compared to the other colours😍
That Midnight is nice but I agree that the fingerprints would drive me crazy. I’d go for the 15” in Space Gray.
npc color💀💀
@@bayuwa87 still looks good
Same
You don’t have a microfiber towel? 😂
I have had the 13 inch Midnight since the day it came out. Honestly, I don’t even notice the fingerprints anymore. But Starlight would be my second choice. I miss the gold MacBook Air.
So lovely to be watching this on my brand new Macbook Air 15" that I picked up today ;) Got the silver one
The midnight version is beautiful, but not practical. The color actually chips off around the USB and Magsafe ports. So overtime you will have silver rings and scuffs around the ports.
The midnight is gorgeous!
I got the midnight and returned it after 2 days. Fingerprint and smudge magnet galore.
"I'll meet you in the garden at starlight.-"
i still like the design of older models of MBA. that tilt was such a masterpiece.
Man i wish the midnight color wasn't so fingerprint heavy, I would scoop that up in an instant!
Midnight. By far the best looking. All this whining about fingerprints and they aren't even visible on camera lol
They’re a lot more visible in person but even then I still think it looks the best lol
@@ncramz1662 Yeah but still not as bad as people make it out to be. I loved the color but hated the small screen on my midnight 13 inch lol can't wait to get the 15
Wish it would come in black as well
How did you not see them on camera? Lol
Apple users whine too much
watching Unbox Therapy review on the 15" MacBook Air helped me decide on which 15" MacBook Air I should get. I purchased Midnight and I love it fingerprints are not an issue.
"I'll meet you in the garden at starlight" has to be my favourite part of this video 😂
The Pro is 16" not 15" so you will see the screen is bigger.
thats smaller
7:34. He mentions the screen size difference.

Midnight, space gray, silver, then starlight. Fingerprints are no fun, but the midnight color looks so great when clean.
i actually love the starlight one
I just got the 13.6 M2 MacBook Air with 16 gigs of ram memory, and 512 SSD storage in color Silver. I think the Silver is very elegant, as an Artist I really like that one. This is my first laptop, and I love it. I'm used to Dell desktops, last Dell I had, had Windows 7 pro with 2T hard drive. I used to have a website and built my own web pages. The 13 inch is so light weight, and in the laptop briefcase cross body doesn't put a strain on my shoulders. Taking the Mac class next week. The 15 inch sound is louder but, I don't think it is that much better than 13 inch Air. The best sound quality is on the pro models.
I was sure to get space grey but because of your video I chose silver and I am very hyped to unbox it 😮
Lew, the champagne color goes perfect with your hoodie 🔥
Ordered the MacBook Air M2 15” in Silver, it’s a classic color and looks clean! Considering that I wanted a bigger screen MacBook but didn’t want to pay the Pro price, this was an easy choice! The 16GB Ram & 1TB SSD price wasn’t too bad either for what you get!
But now I’m second guessing myself because the 14 M2 Pro for $270 gets me 120hz pro motion screen, more ports, and more than one external display 🤔
^this
@@badvibes- I’m so torn! Do I get a bigger display and save $270 or $300 bucks. Or do I get that pro motion 120hz and have a slightly smaller screen. I hate how close of a comparison the products are. If I didn’t need 1TB Air would be way cheaper and make sense. But spec’ing up on the Air, it’s so close to the Pro cost wise.
Mbp is the way. Recently upgraded from m1 air to m1 pro mbp16 and it completely changed the way I use a laptop. I’d suggest going pro for the thermal headroom, better speakers, better display, better keyboard (subjective), more ports, faster chip, dual monitor support. And if you’re on a budget I’ve had nothing but positive experience with Apple Refurb as well - m1 pro prices are looking real attractive rn.
@@badvibes- do you think 512 SSD is enough? I don’t think I need 1TB but like to have peace of mind of not running out of storage ever
i have watched lot of his old videos, but this one is most informative one to make decision, thanks man for old days!!
This is like a Victoria Secret show for me!
Completely agree. In reality I’d say a higher proportion of people buy a MacBook Air simply because it is an apple product. I can see why some would disagree and see it as overpriced when cheaper, better performing products may be available. I can also see the argument that they are pointless when the pro offers far more in terms of value for money in regards to performance.
For the money yes, there may well be cheaper and better performing alternatives. However as a business Apple have marketed their products to make them desirable to the masses. They put this product right in the sweet spot of their target market and have angled their marketing to make that target perceive their brand as desirable and high quality. Regardless of individual opinions of Apple, they are far and away the best at this. Above all other reason, that is why they are so successful.
Love it or hate it, they are excellent at what they do.
Silver every day of the week. Timeless.❤
The starlight matches your hoodie😊
I have only had Space Gray colors up until now where I ordered the Silver. A little brighter and cleaner looking to me and every now and then a change is good.
I am going for the starlight in the 13 inches. As a writer, portability is key because I'd ideally like to spend more time at the library or wherever. The 15 inch is really nice, though!
Just picked up the midnight. The 15 inch air at this price is going to sell like crazy. Got it for my wife bc she wanted a bigger screen. Moving on from the 11” iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard
For me it's 1. midnight 2. Space Gray 3. Starlight and 4. Classic Silver. Silver is only last because I've been using a 2015 MacBook pro so long I'm bored of the color.
same here ..
Glad you managed to get all colours. I like the silver too. nice matt body against that glossy logo. good contrast and reflects the texture well
My ranking...
1. Starlight
2. Space grey
3. Silver
4. Midnight
I’m headed to the Apple Store tomorrow and wanted a preview of the colors! Thanks so much for this. I’ll be getting the 15” MacBook Air. Not sure if I’ll get Silver of Starlight!
Which one did you get ?
Midnight 15 inch for me, looks awesome
Dear Unboxing Therapy,
I wanted to reach out to express how much I would appreciate having an Anker Adapter 120W. My laptop is no longer functional, and I'm in need of a new one, but unfortunately, I don't have enough money to afford it. Your videos are truly inspiring, and I hope you can help me continue my work by providing the much-needed adapter and, if possible, a MacBook.
Warm regards,
Omar
I like the midnight but when I get to see silver in real life it’s 100% a win so fricking beautiful
My choice: Space>silver>midnight>starlight. My wife's choice: silver>starlight>space>midnight. I upgraded my wifes 2019 macbook pro (space grey) to a m1 macbook air (silver) in 2020 and had been envious of its long battery life and silent operation. So I upgraded my 2018 13" macbook pro (space grey) to the 13" air (space grey) this year and its my absolute favourite laptop ever. Silent, long battery life, powerful, light weight, premium build. Before apple silicon i would have never touched an Air, but now its perfect for my needs.
I love the MacBook Air 13 inch Silver M2 it's so beautiful 🤩
Love the detailed videos. Awesome work !
