I want a comparison video between this and the m1 MacBook air in terms of video editing, specs, design, and power efficiency.
M2 isn’t it obvious
Me too
I think it'll come eventually
@@harshbardhanshah I already know M2 is going to be better then M1, but it won’t be noticeable.
+1
I have the M1 MacBook Air and Mac mini. Absolutely no need to upgrade, they both perform immensely.
Same and agreed no need to upgrade we gonna be good for years to come
Who upgrades pc/laptop each year ?
@@aapkaOnkar Exactly🤦🏾
@@aapkaOnkar believe it or not quite a few people. Not me. Probably won’t change mine for at least 5 years.
M1 macbook air squad. Hoping it's gonna last for at least 5 more years
I have an M1 and love it. Does what I need. But I can’t help but be bummed that the design has improved significantly in the M2 (in my opinion) not to mention MagSafe which I really miss.
the design is nice, but also, remember that in everyday tasks the m2 is actually quite nerfed unless you shell out for the extra ram and storage; you're fine
Yup. Just something you’re gonna have to deal with, babes
@@PasteurizedLettuce just upgrade then
@@vxchia4540 no that’s my point though, it’s good if you want to upgrade, but if you want the base model, don’t bother
i think your love for M1 macbook air will never die .
I held on to my 2017 MacBook Air for an extra year because I heard the Magsafe connector was coming back. It saved my computer from taking a trip to the floor at least twice in 4 years. An invaluable feature for my clumsy ways. The battery just started acting up, and the M2 was on sale, so I just bought one. It is arriving this afternoon.
I got starlight and was hesitant on the color until I ordered it...it looks great! awesome review
That full-size function row is such a nice improvement for the keyboard
Those benchmarks and the prevalence of Thermal Throttling will be what makes or breaks the M2 for many. Without the fan and the more power hungry chip, it’s gonna be interesting to see if Apple somehow was able to make the passive cooling system effective. It’ll also be interesting to see if the 2 base models of the M1 and M2 have a $200 price difference in the performance, as that’s what most people will be looking for likely.
The Air is not meant for sustained loads, it is an ultrabook at heart and even Apple says buy a Mac with a fan for sustained workloads. So, no, it will def not be make or break as pro users should not buy this if they want prolonged intensive usage as it has no fans and will obviously thermal throttle.
MBA/M2 for the win. Great job describing the new model and pointing out all the highlights. That screen difference is substantial. Great job demonstrating that aspect of the MBA.
That starlight color is unusual. At time it appears gold, other times it appears silver and other times it appears white.
IMO, the midnight color is 🔥
On camera the starlight looks really weird imo with it looking like a totally different Colour then the pictures but in person it look really nice.
Pretty detailed chase comparison which is exactly what i needed. Thank you
Everyday Dad about to hit 500k! Congrats man, been here for a few years, well deserved! 🙌
Can’t wait for your breakdown video on this 🔥🔥🔥
It’d be really nice if apple kept the m1 MacBook Air design going forward and called it the MacBook, brought the 12 inch MacBook back and made a 15 inch MacBook Air. Then they would have every screen size all the way up to 16 inches. I feel like that would be perfect.
Excited for my midnight model that arrives tomorrow! Thanks for the unboxing!
Nice review. Funny how Apple sent the 512GB model instead the base one with the slower SSD issues. We will just wait for the "Can you really use the M2 Macbook Air as your only video editting computer" video, featuring the base model of course, and see how it compares to the M1 base model that you did almost two years ago. Would much appreciate to see the time differences between these two base models for the same load.
They can add a sound effect to the shrink wrap like they do with greeting cards. When you open it you get a confetti popper sound.
I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS SO LONGGGGG
Oh man that looks so good. Can’t wait to get mine at the end of the month when I’ve saved enough.
Appreciate the content EDD. Cheers...
Just got my M2 Air today. Bought it because of MagSafe and updated design. It doesn’t fail to impress me
Thank god you got a starlight review unit. I was waiting for this!
Been waiting for thisss!! I always love your videos!!!!
How does the typing experience on the new one compare to the old one? I really liked typing on the previous version of the MacBook Air with the wedge design. The slight canter to the body of the computer made it the most comfortable laptop I have ever used for typing.
This is why your channel is so good cos you do these comparisons by grabbing and doing side by side lol
Super cool you got on the A list. Nice work!
YAY so hyped it has come out luv ur content btw
i wanna see a comparison between the 8gb 256ssd and 16gb 512ssd both with the 8core model
I can’t wait to my Macbook air M2!!! The more I watched it … I fall in love ❤️I ordered Midnight black….Thanks for the review🙏🏻
Everything, same as you did with the M1 MacBook Air which help me a lot in buying one! Like your videos!
I get mine tomorrow. Thanks for the videos. I have an old intel 2018 air so it was time. All the YTers really do lean on just getting the M1 air but I went brand new. Basic config in midnight. Did so because , well I hope it will be a bit better in all ways.
Can’t wait for mine to arrive.
The rounded edges being different from the 14/60 is completely in your head. The rounded edges are consistent, even from product to product.
Great video! Love your content in general. Subscribed!
I love his tan line from his watch 😂😂
I have an used MacBook Air M1 and it’s a beast I can play any PS2 game there without any issue. Basic edition great too. Great value laptop for the price and performance.
I just bought one of these for my mom and she really likes it
That is one hell of a watch tan
Getting the maxed out 2TB storage with 16gb version as my main video editing computer and programming next month, too exited since I’m coming from the M1 macbook air
This thing is absolutely gorgeous.
Hi Gary, loving the new MacBook Air. Wish you mentioned the differences of Thunderbolt 3 and 4 since they look exactly the same to a lot of people. Awesome video! Can’t wait to see more of the M2 MBA
He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. All new MacBooks since 2020 have thunderbolt 4
TB3 and TB4 don't make much difference to Apple Silicon users. I could go into detail, but there are articles on that which can address that better.
@@matgaming1163 Yeah strange. Next video I watched said it had Thunderbolt 4. I believe it was Dan’s video
On Apple's site, it says Thunderbolt / USB 4 for both the M1 and M2 MacBook Air models. Thunderbolt version unspecified. It doesn't say Thunderbolt 4. I'm inclined to think it is USB-4 + TB-3.
Ma
@@matgaming1163 really? it doesn't say that on Apple website
I am super hyped to get one, and so far it looks fantastic! This will hopefully be the new benchmark for ultrabooks (cant wait for those benchmarking tests!)
Looks very good maybe one day I’ll purchase one
randomly watch this video and I like his accent, I could understand almost what he said in the video ^^
Got my MacBook Air m2 16gb 1TB last July sliver for my DJING love it ❤🎉
I´m worried about the heat, make some tests and tell us how it behaves. More power consumption and more screen it is more heat and less battery life, I think. Compare the M1 and the M2 with same characteristics and tell us if the heat makes the M2 computer slower than the M1.
I personally think that it's fine, people are showing 8k raw video editing on these machines and say it throttles, bro come on nobody is going to do that on these laptops. This laptop is going to be powerful and cool for all your everyday tasks and the battery life will be the same as the MacBook air M1.
M2 has beaten the M1 in every performance test I've seen so far and had the same battery life. Even if the M2 throttles, so does the M1. Besides, the whole point is that Apple chips don't heat up that much in most usage anyway, and unless you've been hitting the CPU/GPU hard for 5+ minutes, you're going to get full performance from either chip. Outside of gaming, rendering, or encoding, there are very few things that use 100% performance for a long period of time. Even normal editing of 4K video, photo editing, or even coding will have a moments of rest between high CPU use, during which the CPU/GPU doesn't use very much power at all.
Literally I swapped my old Mac editing station for a 14” and literally the only time I notice the notch? When people mention it in videos 😅 I’ve never even seen it while working that I can think of
Also I kinda wish I would have went with the bigger model for more video editing and multitasking space 🤷🏼♂️ but that portability is so nice
I freaking love that apple managed to do what I wished for in high school!!! Making the 13” and other small MacBooks actually strong enough to do real work! I love the new Mac line up and all of them can edit photo and video. I just had a base model Mac mini that was a power house for cheap cheap
Would like to see the size compared to the MacBook Pro 14 🙏🏻
I bought the starlight and I can’t wait to get my hands on it🤩
I think if you have a Intel Macbook this is a compelling upgrade. If you have M1 it's not a big deal
The color 😍😍😍😍
Loving the Starlight as well.
@Everyday Dad╂¹⁶⁶¹²³⁹³⁹³³ ha! Scam Likely
This laptop is going to be a revolution!
It looks really nice but i just got MacBook Air m1 so im happy with it right now . Wonder if they put two chips in it or is there just one like the MacBook Pro is
I definitely want to see a head to head against the M1 and M2 Macbook air.
the bigger screen and new colour makes the new m2 air totally worth it for me
M1 vs M2 MacBook Air Video editing. I would love to see that!!!
THAT LOOKS LIKE SILVER ,NOT STARLIGHT.
I ordered one today
That's what I love about your reviews...true honesty. Think I'll stick with M1 MacBook Air supplied by my school district : )
Been using a 2014 MBA and I'm hoping to upgrade later this year. But I mostly use it for browsing and some light gaming on Steam. Looks light the M1 should be a good enough upgrade for me.
I’m 0% jealous of the new MacBook Air, but I’m 1000% jealous of the new charger. I think I’m gonna wind up buying one separately. I need and have a 14 inch MacBook Pro, but I’d love to have this particular charger to charge my iPhone and Apple Watch.
i have the m1 air. i run my whole business on it. i do photo editing and restoration. i been interested in the new air. i hope to see some bench marks
Love the Apple Watch tan line
thanks for the M1 MBA comparison!!!
I like the starlight version too… champagne colour
SO HAPPY MAGSAFE IS BACKKKKK
The first thing I would do would be opening it to count the SSD chips haha
But I’m still happy with M1, probably I will replace it only with a M3 or M4. M1 is already amazing.
Max Tech has checked the 512GB version of the M2 Macbook Pro and found that it has two chips, so I'm sure that the Macbook Air is the same.
Thank you for being the only tech youtuber who has correctly stated that the M2 Macbook Air has Thunderbolt 3! The review videos having been frustrating to watch when stating incorrect specs.
Ordered my M2. Invoice states two USB4 on my MacBook Air M2 2022 512gb
The Apple site notes that the Air M2 I am ordered has Thinderbolt 4 ports, not 3.
I am upgrading from a 2018 air so I decided to just full send and get the m2 air
Good snapshot. Were the screen res on the 2 machines the same? Icons in the the M1 dock looked bigger, and (far I as could tell) less sharp and well defined.
loveeee it babe !!
ordered mine on 7/8 super excited! Midnight color, 16gb ram. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
From next time you can order us we give product from Amazon
They sent you the 512gb just to avoid the fact that 256gb version has only 1 NAND chip and that also mean half the speed.
Would be great if compare both laptops in terms of video editing and designing
I didn't see anything but that Watch band patch at his hand 😂😂
Great video!! Subscribed 🔔 I'm getting either M2 or M1 MBA with 16gb RAM, but leaning towards M1 due to the temperature issue/faster throttling with the M2. Both machines will easily handle my work tasks, but I'm a bit worried in terms of light gaming. The only game I play is wow (optimized for Mac), but a session could last up to 4 hours. If the M2 is as good as the M1 in this case (or worse), I'd rather save 300$.
I'd love some insights regarding this, since you're also a fellow wow classic player, and can properly test this better than the other youtubers :)
I know youre probably working on review of the M2 MacBook Air and as a fellow Northeast Ohioan, I would love to see a real life performance review. One that actually does the things that the MacBook Air was designed to do. The Everyday stuff like watching TH-cam videos, sending emails, surfing the web, Using Pages, Number and Keynote or the Office Suite. I don't think you're a graphic designer but it would be great to see how Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop performs. Im going out a limb here and say the that the M2 MBA won't overheat and that RAM and even swap won't be an issue. It's so maddening that a certain set of reviewers are focusing on the entirely the wrong thing. I haven't seen one review that mentions battery life or comparing displays. Just how many past MacBook Air owners even own Final Cut Pro or Lightroom. Thanks, love your channel and looking forward to your review.
OMGGG ITS OUT YAY I CANT BELIVE
Okay, Starlight looks immaculate.
I just got my macbook pro 14 and this makes me think of getting instead 😁
If possible, I want a comparison video between this and the 14inch MBP base model as i am torn apart on which one to buy (for video editing coding and other college stuff)
Bro, there need not be any comparison between the MBA and the MBP. Both are built for different sets of users. If you're a light user, MBA does the job hands down whether it's an M1 or M2 for that matter.
Apple sells the PRO variant for the stuff that necessarily requires an active cooling system and having said that, MBA ain't built for that certainly.
Go for MBP if you're a professional video editor or a coder, else go for MBA M2 or even M1 (comparatively cheaper and better value for money).
Also, if the new ad-ons like Magsafe, High Impedance Headphone Jack, New Matte Black and Starlight colors etc don't matter to you, DON'T GO FOR THE M2.
I've pre-ordered the MBA M2 for the obvious reasons as I'm a light user and I've been using MBA M1 since a long time without facing any issues with it.
DON'T COMPARE AIR WITH PRO (BOTH TARGET DIFFERENT SET OF USERS)
Silver is my fav💗
I have a MBA M1. I use it for emails, quotes, youtube, web browsing, excell and office use, netflix, and home designing. The M2 base model with the slower speed will still do that and better. I am not transferring a huge pile of files and the ssd isnt gonne be the thing thats working overtime. Its the cpu and gpu chips.
Please do a video on usability difference (+ and v es) comparison with 2020 M1 Macbook Air for normal average users. Thanks.
I ordered the midnight. I am a long time windows guy but I want to try out a basic MacBook to see how I feel about the os. Looking forward to your coverage on it.
Famous last words. I was a windows guy too. I got the basic M1 MacBook Air to play with it at the end of 2020 and within two weeks I sold my Windows machine.
From next time you can order us we give product from Amazon
Nice video, as always. And nice tan on your left arm ^^
Good initial compo vid, but really keen to see a blow by blow review of both their performance. And £300uk is a 30% jump 8n price: I’ll need a bit of convincing, above a lovely blue colour …. Thanks.
Please compare the performance of the SSD vs the M1 Air.
i got the 14" yesterday, got 50 days to decide if i want to keep it or not... im unsure if i should keep the 14" or go for the air m2
I also really like the right angles but I don't like the rounded corners 😊
Can you do a comparison between the m2 macbook air and the 14 inch Macbook Pro m1 pro? The way I plan to configure the m2 air. It's a similar price to an open box 14 pro. I like the portability of the air. And if the air is relatively capable. I would choose it over the m1 pro power.
I have the M1 MacBook Air, and it performs amazing and before I give it up and trade it in for the M2 MacBook Air, Im curious if the M2 version is future proof. I would mainly get it for the screen size. the 13" is become a big small. But I starting to hear conflicting reviews that the M2 and M1 are good depending on how its used. Part of my wants to say screw it and get the MacBook Pro buuut I don't feel like dropping 2k at the moment if I don't need to.
I’m so bummed that they remove the wedge. Bring back the wedge!!!
Try macbook air m2 with fan embedded laptop table to see if temperature and throttling is in control or not
Please do photo editing comparison with lightroom
I bought my 15 inch MBA with 16GB/512GB and love it. Battery life is great and I enjoy the bigger display since its harder for me to see, also for a 15 inch machine its pretty light
Could you compare the 14inch pro with this M2 air since the price difference is getting much smaller, especially in other countries
I want it to come out in Blue!
Comparing M2 ergonomie confort (when used for long hours), Battery life and heat with M1 MBA as well as the overall bang for the buck.
