Hi bro, Someone commenting on our comments impersonating you. Care, tho they might be false. Innocent ppl can fall prey, may be can announce it off. So no one click their links.
This type of daily routine work review is really splendid! That's what potential buyers really need. Not just remain on the surface of device's specifications like some other youtubers did.
Excellent overview. This is pretty much some of the same conclusions that I came to as well. Lot’s of bells and whistles on the M2, and your breakdown is awesome. Looking forward to more vids from you.
I appreciate the nuanced take here. Now that university subreddits are filled with "what laptop for computer science?" type questions again, this really goes to show that the right tool for the job heavily depends on what kind of coding you're doing, ranging from being totally cool with a 10 year old MacBook Pro for your first few C/C++/Java/Python kind of courses, to needing a beefy Nvidia GPU with Cuda cores to train ML models, or anything in between. Though, I can't help but shake the feeling that if you aren't super sure about how your needs may evolve, the base 14" could be the safer bet...?
Man, this was priceless! I love how deep you took this one. Can’t wait to see your take on how it stacks up vs the m1 14 inch mbp. Thank you for all you do
Seriously hats off to the editing and in-depth analysis of programming part. From a computer science perspective, love coding albeit i can't afford macbook air M1 in 2022 loved and inspired by your work. Much love and greetings back from India 😍🙏🏻
Bro, I love your channel! Thanks for sharing! I just purchased a new M2 MacBook Air about a month ago and I was scared I made the wrong choice, but your videos have shown the potential this machine has
This is the laptop I'm planning on getting for spring semester, to get me used to another OS and have a designated school/work laptop so I don't start stressing when using my gaming laptop for relaxing. Knowing the small SSD amount becomes a problem from many reviews, it enforces my plan to get much more storage space and also more RAM. From the sound of this review and others, it sounds like it'll be the best laptop for my current goals. Great content like always!
I know what you feel, I also can't chill and work on the same machine, that's why I bought this laptop. I want it for my CS college or work, and my PC to just chill and play some games without stress!
If you’re gonna upgrade both RAM and storage you should look into the base 14” M2 MacBook Pro as well, as you’ll be nearing that price. I ended up getting a MacBook Air M2 with 16GB/256GB bc I already have a PC and I’ll only use the laptop for studying (Computer Science) purposes so I don’t need a lot of storage
And also bc Apple storage upgrades are such a scam - you can buy a tiny external 1TB NVMe for a quarter of the price. But if you truly need that much storage for work, I could see it getting annoying to lug around with you
@@essayedgar I already bought the M2 Air, 16GB RAM, upgraded to 1TB of storage. Same for going to school for Comp Science, and I also have a Windows gaming laptop already too. I'm also using the Mac to use as a secondary backup for any of my important stuff, since I take both my Windows laptop and my Mac everywhere with me. I was able to turn the Mac into a dedicated school/work computer, so I can do any networking or programming stuff in my free time without having to worry about needing an external SSD. And the reason I didn't get the 14 inch Mac is because the price was higher than I was wanting to pay at base level, whereas the Air upgraded was cheaper
@@ezioahmet4192 Ah I see. Hope you enjoy your laptop, sounds like it works well for you! I also have a decent spare Windows laptop and a beefy Windows PC to Remote Desktop into if need be. That coupled with the fact that you can use software like Parallels to run Windows 11 ARM means the MacBook Air is a really good choice for us CS students :)
For international student, the coding dojo prices are super expensive and their flexible option only allow to pay in 2 installments which is still 8k usd ^^. -Coming from Asia, though it is does hold good value, we dont have the money haha. Hope the bootcamps do something about pricing for international students. Besides, that I love your videos Andres, I want to learn how to make those cinematic blocks. Do you have course on skill share or something? or where did you learn to do the camera work?
In my experience, it was really easy to get Flutter running on my M1 Pro MBP recently for work. I know just saying that isn't helpful. But I promise you it's possible to do it easily. I'm not sure what issues you ran into specifically. And it works great! Even on Android emulators too!
Thank so much! You've solved my doubts about how capable the MBA base model is for programming. BTW, great cinematic and colours, keep doing that work ;)
Impressive work That’s incredible how a person paired with a computer can make such illustrations. Thank you for sharing your video The APPLE Products Look Beautiful
its been quite some time since I've started developing mobile applications using react native (expo) and flutter. React native (expo) is a clear winner when it comes to resource consumption. Flutter is so resource heavy and requires both cooling and resources (RAM & CPU). Its important to note that this doesn't mean that react native is better. heavy development process doesn't mean bad results, as a matter of fact. flutter performs better in many sides.
Hey Andres thanks for this video! Makes me feel much better about going for the base model. Just a question, could you maybe test how Safari compares to the other two browsers you tried? I’d expect that to be even more optimised. Thanks a lot!
@@ConvictedFelon0 You know what mate, I ended up buying the M1 Pro instead... I wanted to have the overhead in power, plus the screen in the pro has now become the best thing ever for my design work, especially the changeable colour profiles. Found a good deal, so only had to spend a bit more to get the pro model instead. (P.S.: Best decision I made!!)
I need to replace my old MacBook Air and I didn’t feel like getting a pro. It’s nice that you managed to get some work done with a 8gb, I can’t afford both 16gb and the ssd upgrade soo I guess I’ll go for the ssd upgrade since my old air was the worst for that. Thanks so much for the very detailed review!
Excelente análisis! Yo actualmente uso Xamarin.Forms así que calculo que tendría los mismos inconvenientes con la Ram. Conectando un celular en vez de un emulador, seria una solución?
Awesome video! Subbed and Liked, good stuff. I do a lot of fullstack development so I'm jumping around between angular, C#, sql and thus ended up buying a surface laptop 5 because my work issued MacBook pro 13.4" from 2022 was a bit uncomfortable for windows development even with visual studio on mac - just wasn't feeling it... But I'm the undecisive type and I'm having seconds thoughts lol may drive up to bbuy to test out MacBook air 15....
Hey man! Setting up my M1 based on yours-- what font are you using to get the apple logo at the start of your iterm terminal? I'm assuming powerlevel10k but not sure what font you picked!
I mean that is hot but compared to my intel Mac Pro running VSC that is super impressive. If I didn’t have a fan on my Mac would be way hotter, just a thought about how well the silicone does handle heat!
Great one! Do you miss the MacBook Pro Touch bar? How's the M2 Air today, still using it? You do pure coding or use some photo and video editor app's as well? I'm looking forward for M3. I do coding as well + little photo and video side. I'm wondering about the heat, since there is no fan inside. Is it something to "worry about" in long term? I believe M3 handles it even better. Currently thinking.. should I Go M3 Air or Pro. As well depends how many ports they give. (At the moment I have MacBook Pro 2018 i5 8gb Touch - can do all things needed, working good - I'm wearing off the command button myself)
Thank you so much for the video man, as a flutter dev, I was confused to go ahead with MBA 13 m2 (16/512 with new design) or MBP 13 m2 (16/512 with old design). Now I have very much clarity and I will buy the macbook pro 13 inch to run my emulators very smoothly without burning my thighs😂. Thanks alot.❤
Hey thanks for the vid but for the first few minutes talking about the keyboard you talk about comparing the M2 air to the M1 air but you show the M1 pro, like when you mention the function buttons (which are present on the air m1)
it's funny how there are like a dozen of comments asking about vs code color theme with no answer still xD would be nice to actually discover the answer. seems like an honest review, appreciate it
with your proficiency at describing, i can see you creating a new channel to teach people in other domains(Machine learning, Coding). It would be nice to have your perspective on that.
Thank you for your review! I have a question here, which one is better for full stack development(react/react native) : Macbook pro m1 or macbook air m2?
Would you recommend the 13 air for writing, software development (in rust), web development and photo editing? (I would use it as my main computer and use it all day)
Currently I mostly work on React but maybe in the future i might go to mobile app dev. My main concern was related to throotling in airs as the temp rises. Is that really a big issue or it rarely happens?
Need to buy one today. Is Mac pro M2 good for java development? Java 11+, mysql, intellij, visual studio, android studio, flutter, visual studio code, chrome, etc. will run on M2? Thanks.
I'm switching to Macbook Air M2 16GB after having a Macbook Pro M1 8GB. I also do Flutter and my laptop usually struggles with both Android Studio and Xcode running. I think the tradeoff of having Air with 16GB is better than having Pro with 8GB imo
@@JammyL I think so. I got a 500gb external SSD and put all my projects there to free up some space. Tho it might be best to get the 512gb because Xcode caches usually takes a lot of space
That’s Apple’s marketing, you know? Better stuff just to pay a little bit more again. The M1 Pro is way better in my opinion, 120hz, better speakers, Non-Fingerprint Machine, faster ssd and great for video editing.
Thanks for this developer focussed review. My takeaway is... if you're going to go for the M2 Air and plan to do mobile development, get no less than 16 mb. Seems like you'd experience way less swap and would have a smoother overall experience. I was also fairly surprised by how poor the battery life is. 30% after 3 hours of flutter development isn't what I would call good. Tough call whether to get this with 16 gb or just pony up for the 14" Macbook pro... Obviously MBP will be better but, how much better, and will the fan become annoying?
that battery life performance was just when running flutter tho, overall the issues with flutter that he talked about seems to be a software issue with flutter itself and some issues with how it runs on apple silicon in general. my M2 MBAs battery is a huge step up over the m1 MBA battery which is weird because most TH-camrs rlly never spent a lot of time talking about battery life improvements maybe because battery life tends to vary from user to user when it comes to MacBooks compared to iPhones.
@@alexh2665 which M2 MBA versions do you have? I’ve been thinking about getting the base one, however, the SSD being slower makes question if it would be good getting the M1 instead.
@@JPGENARI I use the base model and that’s also my point the SSD thing is way overblown, my M2 air is faster than my M1 air and my workflow has gotten more intensive since then
@@alexh2665 that’s good to know. I currently have a 2017 MacBook Pro entry level (i5 dual core, 8gb ram 128gb) which has turned up into a pain when I started studying code.

I will be doing (for now) mostly web development (so multiple tabs), JavaScript, Python etc. The fuzz around slower SSD is driving me nuts - upgrading the M2 to 512gb or the M1 to 16gb starts to bring the price closer to a 14 Pro.
@@alexh2665 Hi, I understand you've had both the macbook air m1 and m2 in use. I'm just having trouble choosing a macbook right now, between the m1 with 16/256 gb, and the m2 8/256 gb, as they are about the same price range. I plan on using it to teach web development in college, like js, react, node.js, python, django. Can you give me a hint from personal experience? 🙏
im afraid about the thermals, are they really that bad constantly? makes my kinda scared tbh. i do like the looks of the mba over the mbp a lot more. it looks way better in my opinion, but that doesnt justify the thermals. if the thermals dont damadge the laptop overtime then thats okay i guess.
This kind of real life review is so much better than a review that running a bunch of benchmarks. Great job.
