Watched a few reviews trying to decide on which MacBook to get my son for graduation. This one helped me decide better than the others I watched. Thank you.
@@DayoAworunse I think the Air would be the best choice. He won't need to run any high demand engineering type software, just general use. I'm guessing the Air would do anything he'll need. Thanks for the reply.
I’m always watching reviews, and most of the guys I follow are really good at what they do, but I swear I’ve never watched such a detailed, honest and professional review like this one,……you’ve just got another sub here👍
I just got the M2 pro 16” mid-spec. I’m upgrading from my 2015 pro. Maybe it was a bit of a ridiculous purchase, but hey, futureproofing. My old one was amazing for all 8 years and I’m sure this one will be too.
I just upgraded from a 2014 pro which still works perfectly just will not run the drivers for my canon pro 100 printer with Big Sur. Not buying a laptop for another 10 years makes me happy to purchase the 2023 M2pro 16'' 1tb version too!
I am quite liked your not so techy and honest review! You are absolutely right. M2 Air with upgraded RAM & storage is more than enough for most of out there leaving pro for the hardcore developers/programmers, high end photo/video editing or who needs lots of cpu/gpu & RAM! Thanks 😊
But the M2 Air is already as base model overpriced, with upgrades its much too expensive for what it does. 2x USB and Magsafe is POOR, even worse considering paying more with 16/512 upgrade. The best deal is still a 14 or 16" M1 Pro machine for 90%+ of the users, in price/performance terms. You dont want these days 8GB Ram, even worse... "shared memory", 16GB is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM and thats why M1 Pros are the best purchase.
I just loved your video-your delivery and info was most helpful. I've always purchased a MacBook Pro but since retiring I realize I really do not need the Pro. I listen to many of the tech guys -probably only appreciating 40% of what they're saying. As a teacher, I compliment you on your delivery, sincerity, and articulation-you have a great future! Thank you again.
Agreed. As a college instructor who does videos, his presentation was very clear. I watched other videos and was still confused after watching. Keep up the good work.
Nice job on the video. Have the M1 Air now. Just can’t justify $2000 for the M2 Pro. Not sure the M2 Air is enough of an upgrade. Would love the Pro screen on my M1 Air
@@DayoAworunse I have a Pro and Air both, in day to day tasks there is no difference in display , both are at 500 nits. Only the in TH-cam hdr videos the difference is visible ( which is mostly demo videos ). Apart from that there is very limited HDR content . As an example in Prime Video HDR isnt supported in laptops, in Apple TV despite it stating HDR the brightness doesnt increase. Even the pro motion on laptops is not that much of a deal breaker. So I just want to know what exactly I am missing here
I am a pro who uses an air because I use my laptop on the go, and I have a powerful work horse PC in my home office. I use my laptop for everything I can do while I'm on the go and I've never found a situation I'd rather be using a tiny 13-16 inch screen when I have a 34inch ultrawide next to me except video calls.
Thats kind of how I see it too. 14-16 inch seem to be workstation replacements (depending on your work), but if you already have something at home, you are better off getting the Air and have that handle non-demanding tasks
As a stranger, I watched the video and understood exactly the video content.Instead of shouting in high voice and talking quickly not good but this presentation is my favorite. Thank you for video.
There are so many videos Comparing these two and I simply don’t understand? One is a “PRO” for a reason the other is an “AIR” for a reason, they serve their purpose. The Air is for compact, travel, web browsing and video surfing and light editing etc as a secondary purpose. The PRO primarily is for handling heavy tasks, video editing, rendering, RAM heavy tasks, the web browsing, video watching and the rest is secondary. Anyone buying one not knowing it’s primary purpose will definitely be disappointed.
Thanks for the video. Problem is with the MacBook Air M2, is if I'd take this one, I would upgrade the specs, and then I get very close to the MacBook Pro M2 Pro, therefore it's a no-brainer, it's better to go with the MacBook Pro M2 Pro. And on top of that you get better screen & speakers. So yeah, about what you say is correct.
Best pick in general is still the 14" M1 Pro or 16" if you want even better speakers and a more usable/bigger screen and better battery. In general i dont see much difference between a M2 Air and M1/M2 Pro 16", they feel both the same (and 2kg are still LIGHT!) except when you use them the better and bigger screen on the 16" is amazing, unlike the netbook/ultrabook like screen from the Air
I kinda want to pick up the m2 air but with my customizations it comes out to $1,899. I don't really care about pro I just love the design on Air. But then again I'm afraid my softwares are gonna require more power(I'm a day trader + in tech sales) so I'm closely considering the pro :(
Im between the air and pro 14. Of course it will be mostly for regular usage BUT i do record motorcycle videos. Dony know which one to take but it has to be 16gbs ram and 512ssd at least
After 13 months of use, my 16" MacBook Pro M1's speakers started sounding AWFUL. Took in to Apple today, and it was going to be over $700 to replace the top case. I wasn't going to throw that into an already "old" computer, so got the 14" M2 Pro.. of course had to upgrade to 1TB to avoid getting ripped off on the "downgrade" aspect of the base model. Apple fangirl for a while here..not feeling it lately.
@@ashleympg That’s what the top speaker of my 13 Pro Max sounds like. I figured I’d just deal with it until the 15 comes out, but you may be onto something here.
@@198816VGTI Unfortunately not 😥. I've had luck with their MacBooks since 2006. One lasting for around 6 years and the next one a whole decade. Definitely looking into getting AppleCare this time around!
Software updates are pending. The video and audio is a bit better on Pro, but Air is good quality for many instances, particularly general purpose for students.
yea ive seen some reviewers recommend purchasing these small thermal pads and attaching them by unscrewing the bottom and placing them there. that helps with the cooling on the m2 macbook air
How close is the Pro coming to the Air in battery life for everyday usage? Are you finding it to be more than the one hour improvement over the M1 Pro that Apple is advertising?
Nice video but what about battery life? I have both of them (Macbook M1 pro 14) and Macbook Air m2. I compared them a couple od times, even today, watching and making two times the same javascript course on YT (using also VS code). Both laptops were fully charged. After the course: air 87%, pro 69%. Everyday usage confirms that: air has about two times better battery. It's really huge, huge difference.
I wish more TH-camrs talked about battery life extensively like you did. To add in to that, if you enabled low power mode on both laptops, you may gain an extra hour or so of battery life on both machines (perhaps an hour and 30 mins on the M2 air because of the improved efficiency cores)
hey idk if you’ll see this since it’s an old video but if i’m about to be a junior in high school and i use final cut for editing for my broadcasting class which one would you recommend? preferably a macbook i get now would last until the end of college or about to the end of college. and i’m confused because i can’t do the base model macbook air becuase there’s not enough ram for editing and when that’s bumped up enough it’s like why not just get the pro. so what do you think?
I read every comment, even on videos that are years old :) My recommendation is the Pro model. Spec'ing up the Air means you most likely need the Pro model for your work. You also never know what the future can entail during your college years, and the Pro will be capable of majority of things you throw at it.
Nice video.. Currently I am using MacBook Pro 2012 model.. My usage is parallel windows desktop for ( tally software ) and microsoft excel word outlook.. Plz suggest which one should I go for.. max book air M2 or MACBOOK pro m2 13”?
I just picked up the M1 15 inch pro from Apple for $1,500 refurbished. I really didn’t need the pro but the air models were a similar price or more once I upgraded to 512 gb hardrive and 16gb of memory. It’s a pretty sweet machine at that price!
I've never heard of Corel, but after doing a search this is the first I've seen a program give system requirements that range from entry to extremely high-end (Ryzen 3 - Threadripper, M1 - M2 Max). It seems like a competitor to photoshop, and I know photoshop is more cpu intensive than gpu. The M2 Pro might give you a bit more flexibility on multi-tasking with those extra efficiency cores, but you can't really go wrong with either. If the M2 won't put you in a financial wreck, I'd get the M2 Pro
I have both lap tops. M2 pr and m2 air with512ssd.. great presentation. I will be selling my m2 air and keeping my m2 pro do I need it? No but I love the 14inch and the screen display and the speakers are way better than the m2 air. Thanks you
I’ve bought my M2 Pro 13” recently and already regret it. It was cheaper than M1 Pro 14” with the same configs (16RAM/512gb) but everyone’s saying M1 is better so I don’t know… Can’t return it and can’t enjoy it either
I use it for my 9-5 job (sr. software eng). You might ask, why not just use the M1 Air for work as well? Space. I don't want to clog my personal laptop (m1 air) with a bunch of libraries and docker images
I have the MacBook Air, and yes I upgraded hard drive/RAM/GPU. Could have gone with Pro M2, but portability and lightness was a priority, I am very happy with my decision! Where did you get those cool animated desktop wallpapers?
I also wanted portability, but also PERFORMANCE, PORTS and a "good" performance/price ratio The 16" M1 Pro base model gave me everything i needed, 16GB Ram are not much but noticable better than M1/2 base models and the MiniLED Screen was just too good to take the 14", additionally to the bigger, much longer lasting battery (70Wh are noticable worse than the 16"s 100Wh, especially in M1 Max config)
If Portability becomes the biggest priority you can even think of a iPad Pro already. At least my Air 5 is noticable better for most "mobile" usecases than my MacBook, The iPad is basically all i need mostly for study, no need to use a full grown Mac for it. Only when i "need" Mac OSs capabilities which iPadOS cant handle, when i need "power" (also literally as powerbank!), a nice, usable screen etc then i could not even use the 14" MBP properly, too small screen!. The 16" becomes on a small stand a iMac Mini (on battery...) and its great for consuming series or movies with more people at a greater distance, bcause of the "big" screen and glorious speakers. A friends 13" M1 Air is also not too compact, its not even comparable to my iPad Air, still packs the same hardware (sadly not software)
Do you still suggest the Macbook Air m2 now that Macbook Pro M3 is out? I have the Macbook Pro M1 (still works like magic) but looking for an upgrade. Price isnt the issue for me but the Portability of Air is attracting me mostly. I have the Mac Studio at home for heavy works (Music Production) and mainly I do Wordpress works on my laptop, along with regular browsing, some light Photoshop. Nothing crazy.
Another great video. I'm watching this on an M1 Macbook Air now and it's in my opinion the best value computer Apple has ever made. Dropping $2800 on the 16" M2 Macbook Pro, one tier up to avoid SSD-gate (which probably won't affect me but 1TB was something I was going to do anyway), sucks. For me, running Catalyst Browse to stabelize my Sony A7IV footage I feel like literally damages my M1 Air. I start it before I go to sleep and in the morning the whole thing is hot. The heat seeps to the screen and to the bottom of the keyboard, like it has a fever. Also, the high megapixel raw in lightroom requires a re-start after editing every few photos. So, I guess I need the pro but almost $3K is nothing I EVER thought I would consider paying for a laptop, especially this one which I believe is going to be looked back on as the worst Mac silicon upgrade. It's so overclocked, stop gap. The next one at 4 nanometer or hopefully 3 will be the big upgrade.
I use the base model M2 Pro 14'' and it works seamlessly with my Sony A7IV. People keep talking about the slow SSD but honestly I do not notice it. It's fast to me. Now if was comparing it next to an M1 Pro because I was running test, then of course I would notice. But Im using it to actually get work done, so it's not something that I notice. Plus if you use a student discount, you can get it for under $2k. This is not to take anything away from the M1 Pro because with the price drop on that machine, that's a really good deal.
@@myong9 Hi Myon, thank you very much for the info. That helps a ton. Hearing from someone else that owns the A7IV is very useful and helps a lot. I will take a closer look at the base model as I'd like to get some airpod pro's and it would help with that. Thanks again!
Can you make a video how you clean up your Macbook's display / keyboards? I even read on Apple website how to do it so I just wonder if others do follow what Apple says. I'm having Macbook Pro 16" M2 and it's my first ever Mac so I don't want to ruin it.. by the way thank you for these informative videos!
16 inch M1 Pro MacBook owner here, the 16GB ram gets used up quite quickly and I’m running 2 safari windows and about 5 PowerPoints. 8GB of ram is the old 4GB imo. Definitely upgrade the ram.
The microphones are almost exactly the same for me but the speakers are way better on the pro machines. The only problem is that most of us use headphones all the time.

The 16" M1 Pro base model gave me everything i needed, 16GB Ram are not much but noticable better than M1/2 base models and the MiniLED Screen was just too good to take the 14", additionally to the bigger, much longer lasting battery (70Wh are noticable worse than the 16"s 100Wh, especially in M1 Max config)
If Portability becomes the biggest priority you can even think of a iPad Pro already. At least my Air 5 is noticable better for most "mobile" usecases than my MacBook, The iPad is basically all i need mostly for study, no need to use a full grown Mac for it. Only when i "need" Mac OSs capabilities which iPadOS cant handle, when i need "power" (also literally as powerbank!), a nice, usable screen etc then i could not even use the 14" MBP properly, too small screen!. The 16" becomes on a small stand a iMac Mini (on battery...) and its great for consuming series or movies with more people at a greater distance, bcause of the "big" screen and glorious speakers.
A friends 13" M1 Air is also not too compact, its not even comparable to my iPad Air, still packs the same hardware (sadly not software)
Do you still suggest the Macbook Air m2 now that Macbook Pro M3 is out? I have the Macbook Pro M1 (still works like magic) but looking for an upgrade. Price isnt the issue for me but the Portability of Air is attracting me mostly. I have the Mac Studio at home for heavy works (Music Production) and mainly I do Wordpress works on my laptop, along with regular browsing, some light Photoshop. Nothing crazy.
the air should have had at least 1 fan, it could have pushed maybe some level of consistent performance.
where do you get the wallpaper from?
New subscriber here: Could you please tell us how to install your wallpapers? They look awesome. Thanks.
Ama huge fan. Bought a MacBook Air and curious to see its performance.
Another great video. I'm watching this on an M1 Macbook Air now and it's in my opinion the best value computer Apple has ever made. Dropping $2800 on the 16" M2 Macbook Pro, one tier up to avoid SSD-gate (which probably won't affect me but 1TB was something I was going to do anyway), sucks. For me, running Catalyst Browse to stabelize my Sony A7IV footage I feel like literally damages my M1 Air. I start it before I go to sleep and in the morning the whole thing is hot. The heat seeps to the screen and to the bottom of the keyboard, like it has a fever. Also, the high megapixel raw in lightroom requires a re-start after editing every few photos. So, I guess I need the pro but almost $3K is nothing I EVER thought I would consider paying for a laptop, especially this one which I believe is going to be looked back on as the worst Mac silicon upgrade. It's so overclocked, stop gap. The next one at 4 nanometer or hopefully 3 will be the big upgrade.
I use the base model M2 Pro 14'' and it works seamlessly with my Sony A7IV. People keep talking about the slow SSD but honestly I do not notice it. It's fast to me. Now if was comparing it next to an M1 Pro because I was running test, then of course I would notice. But Im using it to actually get work done, so it's not something that I notice. Plus if you use a student discount, you can get it for under $2k. This is not to take anything away from the M1 Pro because with the price drop on that machine, that's a really good deal.
@@myong9 Hi Myon, thank you very much for the info. That helps a ton. Hearing from someone else that owns the A7IV is very useful and helps a lot. I will take a closer look at the base model as I'd like to get some airpod pro's and it would help with that. Thanks again!
yo where did you get those wallpapers?
It's called Dynamic Wallpaper in the macOS store, should be #1 in utilities
You are 100% right - One more thing to add - if anyone got an M1 series laptop - You don't need to consider upgrading to any of the M2 devices...
AMEN
Can you make a video how you clean up your Macbook's display / keyboards? I even read on Apple website how to do it so I just wonder if others do follow what Apple says. I'm having Macbook Pro 16" M2 and it's my first ever Mac so I don't want to ruin it.. by the way thank you for these informative videos!
I had purchased my M1 MacBook Pro 14” for $1300 with 14 battery cycle, lightly used, fairly new! With that price I just couldn’t pass by that deal!
That really is a steal. Prices have come down everywhere
Macbook air M2 is perfect for programmers? :) thanks
What kind of programming?
@@DayoAworunse Hi!, backend, I used python, go, js and Sql . do you recomend this macbook air ?
@@dragogx9677 get 16gb of ram and you will be okay.
what is the wallpaper app to get moving wallpapers?
Yes, I like your videos. 👍🏽
how do i get that background? 3:19
16 inch M1 Pro MacBook owner here, the 16GB ram gets used up quite quickly and I’m running 2 safari windows and about 5 PowerPoints. 8GB of ram is the old 4GB imo. Definitely upgrade the ram.

@@DayoAworunse It's all the eye-patch, crow-calling old man's fault.
The microphones are almost exactly the same for me but the speakers are way better on the pro machines. The only problem is that most of us use headphones all the time.
How does TOS run on MBA M2 ?
Thank you very much ❤❤❤
You're welcome
omg the wallpapers are so beautiful how did you get them🤩
