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 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 don’t blame you, I’ve owned a handful of XPs laptops through the years and have always had some sort of problem with them, one of them I’ve needed to re apply a better thermal paste and add some thermal pads because it ran too hot.
@@valismind You nailed it, boss! 👍 New subscriber!
What do you write?
Mac > Dell for sure
U can use any electronics for writing. Probably a calculator with 9v battery is okay for u
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 agree. I think that the Air is great for most people. I think if you're looking at the Air, there's no need to look elsewhere because you'd know if you need more, and would rule it out. M2 in it has been an absolute charm. Super happy with Apple's latest laptop line.
What case from amazon fits it? I just bought the 13” macbook air m2
What do you use for storage? Or do you get away with 250GB?
@@NETBotic I have over 10 years of documents and graphics from our church and I’ve barely used over half the 256GB drive. I think the base model is plenty unless you work with A LOT of photos or a decent amount of videos.
@@chriscasillas Thanks. Yeah I work with tons of data. It's nice to have some of it local, but the base model price with my trade-in is way too tempting!
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 ~
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
24Gb you nuts
Bro how much did you add for that RAM? I was about to add 16GB but it is costing to about $400 when you upgrade to a 16GB RAM. T.T
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!
I got my Mac today for school to do my homework and other things it’s good
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
Don’t buy the 256 Gb model as that disk is way slower than the 512gb one
@@deadrosas if i buy 8gb Ram with 512 SSD storage, it is good enough for me to do editing like photoshop and illustrator?
@@adamstudios7884 Nope. Just get a refurbished M1 MBP 14-inch if you plan on doing any professional work. Same price or less than an M2 MBA 13-inch with 16/512GB specs.
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.
how did u get it for such a steal mate?
Truly! like the design alone made me wanna go for the M2 even though I'm on a strict budget. Also love the notch, it's so iconic! I don't understand why ppl hate it.
@@ncknelson just got my MBA m2 too. and i love the notch 😅😅
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
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.
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.
But after the M3, the M4 will be just around the corner, so why not wait for it, or for the M5
@@skylinefx049 obviously i mean because it was released a year ago. If the m2 was just out, i really wouldn’t care about it
@@juliusjacob1416I’d say just go for it I don’t really think that the m3 MBA will be a HUGE upgrade from the M2 like this current transition from m1 to m2.. but if it does happen to be a big jump just ask yourself if you really need the more powerful and the more expensive peace of technology
im telling you brother m3 won't come until 2024 October
IT IS NOW 1099! or 999$ with student discount!
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!
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!
💀
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 UA-cam 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.
Disagree on the display. The biggest selling point is the battery life and it's perks for other specs. The great battery life allows a sustainable production for long hours, higher base model display resolution, display refresh rate, and quicker video rendering.
Other laptops can have a 4k display resolution with over 120hz refresh rate, but the battery life is trash with specs that high. PCs have to spec down the display and refresh rate to compete battery wise.
@@akin242002 My reference to the display was meant to refer to the range Apple offer. So the 14" XDR screen is superior to the 15" Air Retina screen, and, for my money, also the 16", which is just a tad too big for me.
Horses for courses though.
Thanks for your video on the MacBook Air M2, definitely informative. I've been thinking about getting one, it would be of course the 2022 base model, but New Sealed.
One question that I have is how it will handle an hour long video call on FaceTime.. I like that it will have the 1080 HD camera. But will there be any noticeable issue after being on a FaceTime video call for that long...?
Ok thanks for your time!
Congrats on the followers. I remember watching one of your first videos about the S22 Ultra last year. Your channel is good bro.
Thank you! Much appreciated :) Crazy you've stuck around
I just purchased one of these, and it's just so good. The battery life alone is amazing.
Yeah battery life on it is insane, glad you like it!
Did you get any upgrades for it and if you did what did you get and why?
I’m just also thinking of getting one 😅
@@4l3kis I ended up returning for a MacBook Pro because I wanted more power, and that battery is even MORE amazing than my air was. Best laptop I’ve ever owned!
My wife dropped her 2022 mbp in the parking lot. Landed flat like a pancake and took it like a champ no damage!
Can’t believe it’s been a year already with the m2
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.
A person getting it configure properly will make it a great laptop. 16GB and 1 TB
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?
I cant decide either. I want 16 gb and 512 aswell.
Pros of M2 Air: 1080p web camera, better design in the midnight blue, better CPU than the M1 Air. Cons: SSD issue on the base level, and not as powerful as the M1/M2 Pros.
If you need more power, don't even look at the M2 Air. If a multi-core Geekbench 5 score of 8,000 is sufficient for your workload, then go with the M2 Air.
Get an m1 air. I have the m2 air and it's not much different from the m1. I got it for the better design but the notch is blacked out most the time so it really makes little difference. M1 air will save you $200 more
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
what did you go for?
@@itsjennieYT i did go for the M2 tho if you have no apple device’s theres no good reason to buy it. 8 gb of ram for such a expensive device is pretty absurd
How much space is free on the 250GB with just OS on it?
Great, review btw. Seems like a great backup/secondary laptop.
1:07 "I'm going to show you what to expect with an M2 air"
Me: Neat, it comes with a free cat.
😂😂😂 they’re wild man they don’t leave me alone when I film
What wallpaper did you show off in the video, looks great.
Thanks for the review. What is the name of the pole light in the background?
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???
The OS might need to swap memory, but it may be fine.
Assuming the 20 Safari tabs are not running in the foreground, that you switch between them when needed then there will be no issues as AI will use swap and compressed cache to keep everything smooth.
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.
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?
Great review bud. Is the 512gb SSD faster than the base 256gb?
Thanks! And yes it is, every SSD except for 256 is the dual NAND SSD
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 ?
Which is the best gaming laptop you recommend??
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.
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.
lol you can’t notice it, buy what you want to buy
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.
Interesting. Seems like the “single NAND chip” thing in the base model is a myth
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 :)
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.
M2 air is enough...
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 .
Hi! Is mackbook air m2 enough to use with Final Cut Pro? To make a UA-cam video?

LETS GOOOOO!
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 have the m1 pro, and my dad has the m2 air, so I can tell you that the air is definitely lighter. I walk around with my m1 pro 14 and its not too heavy to to so with, although when you set it down it makes a louder noise than the air 😅.
As for student use, I would say that the 14 can get through a day as long as you don't do anything demanding, but the Air will definitely last you through the day. I wish I had that level of battery confidence on the 14 but I'm not necessarily disappointed. Just know that the m1 pro 14 chugs a bit more than the m2 Air
@@codexous ah okay I see, i was thinking about buying a certified refurbished or used M1 Pro 14 because they’re like nearly the same price as a base m2 air and it seems like the better purchase. Thanks for the advice though, it’s probably better to buy the M1 Pro since I want to keep it for around 6/7 years at least.
@@nazargamil3510 I am looking at the M1 pro with 16gb of ram because I want to be able to play video games. The M2 will thermal throttle and 8gb of ram is a joke for a computer that costs more than a grand.

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!!
I would go for the upgraded storage as a teacher because you're gonna have a lot of things stored on it while you might not always have like 30 tabs open at once!
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
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?
I just switched from same intel model to m2 air base model, so far it's holding up way better than my previous 16gb intel mbp. if you can afford then opt for 16gb ram otherwise 8gb is fine. I just use it for browsing and Logic Pro x

Im still unsure about the notch
What wallpaper is that?
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.
What you gonna need it for? Office apps and just taking notes? Do you need it for cad or software development? Or even content creation? If you're not doing any of these 3 than get the one with more storage and less ram. It's a bummer but for note taking, looking through pdf and power points and media consumption, it's excellent. On the other hand if you're doing things that are more intensive you might need more ram. But in that case you also have the ability to get an external ssd to expand your mac's storage.
Is it worth it? Should I buy it? I need your help!
Office use, browsing or media consumption? Than yeah, pretty much an ideal machine, just pick one with a little more storage like 512gb. Like heck I'd even say this thing with the ram upgrade is more than enough for software development. Though I had how apple makes them obsolete by dropping software support after a few years. It makes them irrelevant for me and I'd say for anyone who's a power user of any kind.
(M1 MBA 16gb 512 gb) vs (M2 MBA 16gb 256gb) vs (M2 MBA 8gb 512gb) which one is best in performance according to you ?
I am also deciding on these too!!! Do let me know if you found out
@@meerasyaqira2093 I came to the conclusion that the (2021 M1 Pro MBP 14-inch, 16GB, 512GB) is the greatest option if you can acquire it at a discounted price, but if not, the (M2 MBP 16GB, 512GB) is the best option in terms of performance, while the (M2 MBA 16GB, 512GB) has an advantage in terms of design and has a magsafe.
And among these three as mentioned here the (M1 MBA 16gb 512gb) is the best option go to with as that's the only option you have if you have to choose the best among three considering the slow ssd issues and disk swap in the other two.
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
Yeah I agree. I think the white bezels also looked quite nice/ and it made more sense considering at the time the new M1 iMac had just popped up with white bezels. Black bezels are very easy to notice/ but they provide seperation from the display and the outside. With white, a lot bleeds together. That being said, aesthetically. I like the renders/ rumours much more than the design. Wish we had some more fun colours.
Got the base M2 air for 899 at best buy. Can't beat that price.
Thanks!
You're welcome & thank you!!
What color is this MacBook?
Silver
7:22 It's not pronounced 'Te-tri-eri' but 'Tur-shuh-ree'. Don't feel offended, just sharing the correct intel.
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. ?
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.
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.
Face ID wont be added with the removal of the notch. It'll also make the display chassis thicker to accommodate for the camera and sensor. I agree that there should be a type-c port on the right side, however, I think the reason they did this is because then you wont have anything in the way of your mouse if you choose to use one.
It always looks like Apple is making stupid decisions to be honest, but there's a whole team of people looking at their products and trying to better it from a common user standpoint.
What about gaming?
Mentioning ASUS in the same piece as Apple is like comparing sour green apples to apple pie.
But that's the thing. They're the same price. - And tons of other Windows laptops far exceed the cost of the MacBook, which makes the MacBook in my opinon a much better value. Though, the ASUS has an OLED display, with a high refresh rate.
Base model or top model not very big difference
It’s a 10 bit panel
there is an issue on the heating problem
What happens? I know this MacBook Air M2 is fanless and so it's much quieter. But does it overheat..? Under what kinds of use conditions?
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.
Watch your hands !!!
no because a tetriary device is where you play tetris on
i like the mak pro
You mean to say if my purpose is to stream youtube everyday. M2 macbook air is not enough?
Not sure how you inferred that. If you’re planning on doing anything demanding, like video editing, I’d look elsewhere.
It’s not that the M2 air can’t handle it, but it doesn’t have a fan - and by the time you upgrade the SSD & Unified Memory you’re very close to M1 Pro/ M2 Pro territory.
if i buy 8gb Ram with 512 SSD storage, it is good enough for me to do editing like photoshop and illustrator?
Best to get 16gb ram and 512 SSD storage, save for it if you can't afford it now. You will be happy if you upgrade.
Video production
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.
This will be my last mac i will buy. Things are better when Steve jobs was around. Tim only cooks $
Nailed it with Timothy only cooking up the guap. He's done really well for Apple and their market cap, but not so for innovation. I mean, to be fair he did oversee the ARM transition, which has been the biggest thing for Apple in, well, forever. But the iPhone is just slowly dying in my opinion.

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 disagree 1000%.
@@valismind that reality, 8GB and 256GB is unusable and the base CPU/GPU is anaemic, that’s reality regardless of your agreement.you have to upgrade at least one, but the second you do both economically it’s MBP all the way. So it’s not a winnable argument. 🤷🏼♂️
Really not useable? Are you really sure? Have you own it and use it before?
@@Salty_Biscuitz88 yep, returned it a base Air. It was a wasted purchase. Replaced it with a MBP
i can’t disagree because im on the market for one right now and from an upgraded air at 1700 to a 1999 entry level pro. i think im going pro. the Air is an amazing machine, its just the pricing that it wrong….
I hate it, it literally sucks ass and can’t even run UA-cam 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.
