M2 macbook air unboxing | getting my first mac

Hello!
It’s been so long since I’ve been on this channel. I’ve missed it a lot.
I wanted to start with a video I began making months ago, and only just got back to.
Today, we’re unboxing my very first MacBook! This is huge for me! I’ve never spent money like this. Big oof, but worth it for me.
I also wanted to walk you through the decision making process. When I was watching a bunch of unboxing videos before I chose a laptop, it’s something I wished I saw more. I find that it can help me better understand how much I have in common with the creator. I think that can really aid in determining for yourself how to use their opinions in your own decision.
Thank you so much for watching with me, and I’m looking forward to posting here more this autumn!

-NOTE-
Quick correction, there’s a little clip of shopping on the Apple Store. I hadn’t originally thought to record my screen at the time, so I did this after the fact while editing and realize now that in the clip I’m selecting a different model than the one I got (specifically the 15 inch, when I actually bought the 13 inch). Super small thing, just wanted to clarify in case anyone wanted to know for sure what one I got

Btw, on my old computer using adobe premiere rush, exporting a video took 2-3 hours. This video on the MacBook in Final Cut? About 5 minutes. I had settled down with a book and everything 😂

use for good day

[@oolszewska]

Such a research is actually a really smart move. I also been there and had multiple (literally - multiple‼️) laptops in my [[actually]] short life, because instead of thinking about my needs, the price was always on the first place. 😮‍💨 This time, I finally purchased a more expensive laptop but I chose the specs basing on my previous experience. Now I have 15 inch MacBook Air M2 with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD storage. I hope this one will stay with me for years. 🙏🏼
Really nice video! I hope that your new products are also going to serve you well! ❤

[@MoonLight_Queen]

i was thinking about your channel yesterday! glad you posted again!! 💖

[@moonlitmaking]

that's so sweet!! thank you

[@sienna4683]

Your video covered EVERY CONCERN OF MINE! I love seeing Mac gamers esp Sims and Roblox (although roblox wasnt mentioned but still!) Thank you. M2 Air is almost like the pro haha it's just fanless

[@icebreakingtory9965]

This video is so aesthetic❤. I was wondering what kind of apps you have on your mac

[@icebreakingtory9965]

, is using a mac different from a pc

[@moonlitmaking]

I like to keep my digital workspace pretty sparse, so not that many. Aside from the ones that come automatically: Firefox for browsing, Nord VPN (not sponsored to clarify), Final Cut Pro, Origin (to download the Sims), Slack, and Spotify. I'm testing out Shift as well, and a few others. Once I get my workflow nailed down, I'll have to make a video about it! And thank you for the compliment!

[@moonlitmaking]

I should have thought to mention this in the video specifically, but honestly the main differences for me in mac vs pc have been cross-device compatibility with my phone and iPad, better built-in apps for creativity, and generally smoother operation. It doesn't feel that different per se, except that it's just such an improvement.
