Should you buy the new MacBook M2 Air 15" and 13"? After 3 months using the MacBook Air M2 daily, I've found a few more flaws and positives to share in my full long-term review. This may just be THE everyday laptop to get for most people, but it's not without its setbacks. Enjoy! Thanks CleanMyMac X for sponsoring this video

Apple announced the new 15" variant at a really reasonable $1,299 and the 13" in this video is now lowered to $1,099. Which size would you get? MacBook Pro M2 Max Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKi6ZmNmZqyMl68

I have the M2 MacBook Air with 8GB of ram and 512GB SSD. I had the M1. This M2 is worth the upgrade for the build alone. As A blind person, I won't be doing any heavy visual work, but this machine is more than fast enough for regular web sight usage. If you are going to store any files on your system, you are going to need at least 512GB of storage.

EVERYDAY I've been using the base M2 Air (in Midnight) since the day it was released. Love it! I throw quit a bit at it during a normal work day. It always runs fast and cool. I love the Midnight color. Mine is docked at my desk most of the week, so I don't handle it and get fingerprints on it as much as other people who use their laptops. Wiping it down one or twice a week is totally fine for me. Most of the videos bashing the base model are overblown for 95% of users out there.

Hope this will have a long lifespan like the former Airs… Writing this on an Air 2011 and it is still working like a charm to be honest. It fell off the bed like 20 times, never saw the inside of a protective shell - while traveling with me on at least 30 longer trips. Used every day in my free time. The small weight and MagSafe sure helped it to reach this almost biblical age - I never understood how your laptop could NOT be an Apple Laptop (even if you install an alternative OS on it)…

This thing was able to get me 2TB of storage for under $2,500, and that is just not possible on the 14. Every time I pull it out of my bag I am amazed by how light it is. It is the perfect blend of everything I will need for years to come.

The M2 Air is perfect! I chose it for portability. And even with a hard plastic case, it is super compact. I never feel it heat up, and I often run Parallels Windows 10 on it, which is very processor intensive. My only recommendation is to max out the storage, as this machine is so perfect that you will keep it for a very long time. What seems like enough hard drive space now might not seem spacious in 2025.

Hi Andrew, great review and I think you've nailed it with the use case. I use mine for office work and I travel quite a bit for client meetings, so having the portability is important to me. With the 16gb RAM and 512GB SSD, it handles everything I throw at it and light music production too. The keyboard does feel quite different (coming from an Intel Macbook Pro 2020 with the scissor switch). Could this be due to a shallower chassis vs the M1 Pro's? Regardless, I love the tactile nature of it and it feels in between that of the butterfly and scissor switch.

"Everyday." I just got my M2 MBA in Starlight. I was so excited but now I think I'm going to return it. I'm not a power user, yet I got the 8/512 GB version. My disappointment comes from the speakers. They sound like they cracked. I sold my M1 MBA because I wanted the new design. In fact, I was watching this video on the M2 MBA and switched to my Surface Pro 9 to see if it was just my mind playing tricks on me. Nope, it is the speakers. This video sounds perfectly fine on my Surface Pro 9. And it's not just this video. I noticed this happening frequently with KZbin videos and I spend a lot of my time watching KZbin.

I love my Midnight M2 Air. I upgraded the GPU and RAM but kept the 256 SSD. I don't work with large files so read/write speed isn't a metric that is important to me. I'm an Economics student so I do use specialized modeling software and excel files and this laptop works great for my needs. I was upgrading from a 2016 13inch MBP with 256GB and 8GB RAM, so for me the speed, keyboard, and battery life are major improvements, even if my SSD is slower.

Excellent piece of kit. The improvements over the M1 MBA are very welcome, however, the price tag is pretty horrendous.

Hey @AndrewEthanZeng , I am looking forward to buy MBA M2 but I want to ask you if they can really handle to load that virtualisation puts to one system, I'll be upgrading laptop for next 2-3 years from now if I buy it rn..... So there's another laptop which is really good alternative that is Lenovo Thinkpad 13s Gen4..... The thing is the smoothness and stability the MBA provides.....

Yeah, I appreciate the USB C port on the right hand side of my MacBook Pro. I find the HDMI port to be useless. Better to just give us another USB C on the right hand side. The HDMI port doesn't even work well in my experience.

Can you compare with m2 air vs the m1 pro 13" you also have? Which one do you prefer for your workflow, they are similarly priced so I'm considering both.. Thanks!
@AndrewEthanZeng
@AndrewEthanZeng Жыл бұрын
It’s really tough to not say both! For working remotely where I know I won’t be video editing, I’ll take the MacBook Air M2 always. You can’t beat its portability. For workflows where it’s intensive and I know I need to plug in multiple drives/accessories and use the SD slot, it’s the M1 MBP hands down. If you need the power and adaptability, I’d have to recommend the M1 MBP.

Assuming you're a student, I'd personally go for the M1 iPad Pro which is powerful enough and pocket the difference - go travelling, invest in yourself etc!
