This is an amazing video! Very well done. I bought the 15” with 16GB RAM and the 512GB SSD in Space Gray. I consider myself very difficult to please, and a very demanding “Pro User.” After using a 16” M1 Pro MacBook Pro (16GB, 512GB) as my daily driver… This 15” M2 Air is perfect for most people. It’s so satisfying to reach over with one hand… snatch it up off the couch or my bed… and throw it in my lap. I couldn’t do this as easily with the 16” Pro, and the difference always puts a smile on my face. The thin and light build of the Air is what I like most about it. Yes, the 16” M1 Pro has a more powerful chip, a much nicer screen, better speakers, more ports, and fans to help with performance. But the M2 Air with the 16/512 is powerful enough for just about anyone I know. Now, the M1 MAX is on a completely different level. A 15” Air doesn’t even come close to a 16” MAX. If anyone is torn between a new 15” M2 Air with 16/512 ($1,699), or a refurbished 14” or 16” M1 Pro… Here’s my recommendation: #1 - 16” M1 Pro MacBook Pro #2 - 15” M2 Air #3 - 14” M1 Pro MacBook Pro The M2 Air Summary: - It’s super thin and light - Don’t be worried about an upgraded M2 (16/512) being slow… because it’s NOT! - The 15” M2 Air’s screen is excellent - The speakers are excellent - The keyboard on the Air is better than the black one on the Pro A $1,699 15” M2 Air with 16/512 is the perfect laptop for 95% of the people on the planet in 2023/2024. If you’re in the other 5%… then a MAX over a Pro is the way to go.

I picked up the base model and it is perfect for my needs. I already have a Mac Mini M2 with 16GB of RAM at my office. I previously used a 2020 iPad Pro 11" and then a 2022 iPad Pro 11" as my mobile device. I wasn't satisfied with the size of the 11" iPads and was going to get a 12.9" Pro. I decided to go with the Macbook Air after seeing the larger iPad was going to be more expensive than a 15" Air when you get the iPad Magic keyboard. It was exhausting trying to make the iPad Pro a Macbook replacement. I find the universal control works better between the Air and the Mac Mini. I gave my wife and one of my kids the iPad Pros and haven't looked back! I have been pretty happy with the experience. I recently took the Air on a business trip and it was nice to share with potential customers our product information on a larger screen. The small downside is that there wasn't room on the airplane's seat tray for both the Macbook and a drink.

Your information about the MacBook Air 15" was exactly what I wanted to know. I'm going for the MacBook Air because 15" is the best size for a laptop. The Air is also not too heavy, so it is easy to carry. I also choose the color silver. It is traditionally the Apple color and all my Apple products are also in silver. I also opt for 24GB Ram and 1TB SSD. I like working in PhotoShop and AutoCAD. I also want to run other operating systems on the Mac via Parallels Desktop. A MacBook Pro is not available in 15" and I find it too heavy, even the 14" and too expensive. I think the MacBook Air 15" is the perfect laptop for what I want to do with it.

I only do light video editing and don't have too many things running at once, so the base model's fine for me. One thing - I'm just in awe of how thin, and tough this machine is. It's a world apart from the cheap plastic laptops I have to endure at work (I'm a teacher), and second-hand, doesn't cost much more here in the UK. I feel like this machine in ten years ahead. Hell, I've 2009 MacBooks that run better than my school Windows machines!

Got the MBA 15 recently - previously using an M1 base model. The M1 base model is still perfectly fine for my use case (research, writing, editing, browsing and general use) - it was the main machine for my professional use (which does not include audiovisual workflows). Only thing I did was bump up the storage to 512 because of what I read on the slower storage speed and how that may affect the swap memory. Reason for upgrade: the larger screen makes.a real difference. That said I also looked closely at the new 14in MacBook Pro M3. But I do not need the extra ports, and neither will I use the active cooling. The processor may be speedier than the M2 - but I never stressed the M1 so... My main doubt was 16GB or 512 storage I would not have got for the combination as it is too much off a price bump. If I had the choice in store I probably would have gone for 16GB over the 512 storage - 256 is my sweet spot for storage (also on my iPads and iPhone. My first impressions: it is a very nice screen, perfect size for my needs and very sharp, battery life is exquisite, the now usual great keyboard / trackpad / fantastic build quality and feels a little bit snappier than the Air M1 - but I had no complaints there. Played around with the M3 models in the local Apple Store and the M3Pro chip was probably slightly faster but that would be total overkill for my use.. I cannot recommend this enough

You can't upgrade it, it's system on a chip so everything is integrated which has it's advantages and disadvantages. There isn't an allocated memory chip for graphics - basically the memory is shared between the CPU and GPU (this is why it's referred to as "unified memory"). The way the new Macs operate is quite different than your standard PC

What’s ridiculous is if you match ram and ssd with MacBook Pro it comes nearly at the same price. Like seriously Apple? 256gb and 8gb ram is absolute disgrace to offer as basic spec

I found a laptop for $549.99, and it is the Lenovo Slim 7i 14". It has Intel Core i7-1260P, 2.8K 90Hz Touchscreen (3.40 GHz, up to 4.70GHz) with 16GB Ram and 1TB SSD W11H Storage. It has a backlit keyboard , Windows 11 Home, and it has Wi-Fi 6. Is this a good laptop? Would this be good compared to the MacBook Air M2?

I’m a software architect and I use Docker and virtualisation a lot (Windows running in Parallels). How does the MBA15 deal with them?
@KyleErickson Жыл бұрын
if you're using virtualization, I'd definitely bump up the RAM a little bit and give yourself some breathing room there

@@KyleErickson indeed but unfortunately Apple capped the maximum RAM to 24GB… it should be enough anyways since I would still run the heavy workloads on the MacStudio.

@@axelgenus I'm a software architect too and I've found that 16GB ram is enough for most things. I currently run an M2 Air 13 (16GB / 1TB) and it gets me by for the vast majority of my workload. However, I still have a powerful desktop that I use in the office for anything too demanding (13700K/3070TI/128GB RAM/2TB SSD) such as the really heavy virtualization stuff you are talking about. I have found that if I am running Windows through parallels to create some builds, I often have to allocate 12GB to the VM and I notice a slowdown in macOS when tabbing back and forth. I think that 24GB would have been enough to fix this. I am hoping they allow more RAM with the M3 because I really enjoy using the form factor of the 13 inch air and I don't need just a ton of CPU power most of the time. I also do a lot of writing (novels, research papers, etc...) and this has been so enjoyable to use over the 16 inch M1 Max I used to have and sold. Honestly I haven't had any real issues with it and it's been the best machine i've ever owned (right behind the m1 air I had before it).

would you suggest the 16 ram model with 256 ssd for information systems/computer science student ?
@KyleErickson Жыл бұрын
as long as you're fine with that level of storage, I'd say that would be fine. Just keep in mind if you end up working in tools like Xcode, things like the derived data folder can get huge if you end up compiling a bunch of apps or versions of a specific app, so that's something you may want to monitor, but in a general sense, it'll work pretty well overall I think
