    Just a Heads up before you guys roast me in the comment section, lol
    I've called this laptop a "PC" multiple times in this video.
    Since my first language is Japanese, in Japan, we call a laptop a "Note PC"; hence I called this laptop a "PC."
    I honestly didn't know that until you guys told me about it, lol
    My bad guys

    My first time watching you and I enjoyed your review, however may I suggest losing the filter as it just makes it look ‘cloudy’ when there is no need for the video you are doing 👍🏻🙂 It’s good to see just a simple real world look at this MacBook with the base model and a proper days use. Brilliant, thx 🙏🏻

    Great video. Cool to see a real life tests. The crazy tests of benchmark and ssd test don’t make any sense for normal users. In your opinion this base version is sufficient for student use (excel, word, same tabs in chrome etc)? I got one but I saw many videos and get worried if I made the correct decision. 8 gb of RAM is enough for this use?

      Benchmarks etc push the device to its limits and aren't representative of "real world" usage by 99% of people who will buy it. Streaming videos, video calls, surfing the web and maybe a bit of photo editing is what these'll be used for by the VAST majority. Annoys me when a reviewer brings up cinebench like i'm ever going to use it lmao.

    Are M1 Pro 14inch's battery very different from the M2 Air with this kind of light use? Anybody have light use battery data or personal experience of how long their own lasts?

      Unless you’re running VM’s the resource management is supposed to be really capable with the M models.
      So, I’d say fix the SSD issue, which will benefit you in transfer speeds, swap memory and just more storage.
      Unless you really need more ram.

    The base model M2 Air has been shown to not be the 'one to buy' due to being under clocked. And since most people can't really afford to increase the RAM and GPU, it really leaves us scratching our heads on what to buy... 🤔

      @brachiator1 Рік тому +7

      It's not underclocked. The SSD can be slower in some RAM swap use cases. If you can't afford to upgrade to 512GB then consider the M1. Even so, the SSD issue might not be a serious issue for most users. It is more a matter of principle that Apple should have kept the SSD the same as in the M1.
