M2 MacBook Air LONG TERM Review | Still the BEST Laptop? (9 months later)

[@CreatedbyEllaYT]

Here's my long term review of the M2 MacBook Air, just in time that the new 15" version was announced! What do you guys think?

[@markwalsham7115]

Ella, the M2 MBA is an awesome machine and your review swayed it for me, and have been using for 3 weeks. It just works for everyday tasks, is fast and easy to use. Everything I need in a laptop!

[@edwinsamodra]

expensive price in my country

[@TheDigitalOne]

The Web Cam looks good and as usual excellent tech review, but need more such reviews! 😺🥰⭐️💎

[@sparksilence]

I'm kinda torn between the 13" vs the 15". The smaller form factor of the 13" seems more appealing to be honest.

[@Tengfeng88]

wonder how long is the battery life, if you are editing heavy video?

[@Rickeded-hj1wi]

I just got my M2 Macbook air and it's such a huge upgrade coming from the Macbook air 2017. Everything feels better - from the battery, to the trackpad and magsafe (chord). I know everyone tends to look at these devices from their direct predecessor the year before but for people like me who don't upgrade that often, it's such a great and necessary upgrade. Also been loving your content Ella, legit you are the reason why I upgraded to this amazing baby in the first place haha

[@rog-e-rogj7632]

I upgraded my daughters 2017 MBA i5 to a 2023 MBA M2 and I can safely say that I am now considered the BESR DAD EVER!!!😂 Seriously tho…she tells me she can work much faster…a few programs she used would not upgrade on the intel, she’s good for another few years now.

[@StuartDesign]

I just think the difference between 'all' M series laptops is very negligible for the 'average' user. Unless you are rendering some extremely lengthy 3D scene (in which case you'd probably use a cloud based renderer)... I don't think most people would experience radical benefits going from an M1 to an M2 or a Pro to a Pro Max.

[@AB-kq9xm]

Disagree. Example a designer who's using , say photoshop, figma, and say some apple apps and a lot of browser windows - this person could easily benefit from a mbp over the base air. Extra ports, better screen, better multitaksing. Many such examples.

[@StuartDesign]

@@AB-kq9xm Its why I say 'average' user. If you are a professional making a living of course you would benefit from every little productivity gain. But if you are an everyday user (or a student) it's not the end of the world if you can only have a couple of apps open at once, or if your render takes an extra 30-40 minutes. 'Most' people don't do enough power-user stuff to 'need' anything beyond an M1 Air.

[@mova_2020]

Wrong. Pro to Pro Max you definitely feel the graphics power difference. But M1 to M2 nah you won’t feel much difference. And M1/M2 to M1 Pro/M2 Pro/Max is a completely different world.

[@StuartDesign]

@@mova_2020 If someone renders vast amounts of footage, or 3D scenes - I agree. But 'most' people don't push their Mac hard enough to warrant going beyond a base M1... imo

[@trenchcoatsftw]

No different than smartphones that come out a year apart. Incremental changes, higher price.

[@kevinjohannesen6094]

I’m a software engineering student and a lot of my classmates use this Mac some with the 16gb memory and most with 8gb and they all tell me they’re pretty happy with their purchase, I’m currently rocking a msi laptop with a 3070 gpu that I bought for 900 usd and it sounds like I’m flying a plane,,, so currently I’m waiting for my MacBook Air 15 inch that I just ordered☺️

[@umairx25]

Hi, I’m in a similar boat with my dell xps, poor battery life and loud fan. How’re you liking the Mac?

[@stoss-11]

Ended up grabbing one of these a few days ago after watching your initial review and I absolutely love it. I came from a 2018 intel MacBook Air and my gosh what a difference, I'm not lagging all over the place, battery seems much stronger, and my space bar doesn't double skip finally lol. For real though if your just planning on using this laptop strictly for school like me it does everything you'll ever need and more. She's right unless your like a full blown graphic designer, coder, etc. there's really no need to upgrade the storage. This M2 is a power house.

[@adityaaggarwal6926]

Is your Air equipped with an 8Gb Ram or 16? and how much storage? I am so confused because I intend to use it for years and don't want Ram or storage issues, my work is mostly an office kinda of thing and occasional video editing.

[@martincalise23]

The MacBook Air line has never failed to impress me! My first one was a 2013 11-inch MBA and I've manage to squeeze any GPU intensive task you can think of. Photoshop, InDesign and the occasional video editing. Then I upgraded to the 2018 MBA and the screen was just so stunning considering that it was the first time ever Apple put their Retina Display technology for the MacBook Air line! And very recently, I've gotten my hands on the M2 MBA. It's love at first sight all over again (notch included!)

[@dantebouwer]

huh re-read your first sentence. You mean to say either: "has never failed to impress me"; or "has never failed/disappointed me!"

[@aksshaysharma96]

At those amounts, Pretty much all laptop perform really well or even better than Macbooks. 9if we keep the M series out, sience the fundamental arch. is totally different)

[@ilyayarovoy8405]

Have you got a base model ?

[@ronaldinnes]

Probably the best ever review of a laptop I've seen, I love how you did real world tests with web browsing etc

[@applexperiment]

I just love how neutral you are with your videos just stating facts and not coming out as a apple or Windows fan I really love these videos wish you could release more weakly😅

[@markwalsham7115]

As usual, really great advice presented in a really realistic and down to earth way. Thank you Ella, this is a breath of fresh air!

[@CreatedbyEllaYT]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alwaysasn]

This was LITERALLY the video I was looking for. I’m so torn on if I need to spend the extra $$ on the Pro or waiting. So you go over everything I needed. Although I’m still a bit torn lol.

[@arjames26]

I want to buy an M2 Macbook Air than M1 Air because of the software support. Oh, also Windows 11 is trash. I've been using Windows for 2 decades since when I was a kid. But now, it's time to go out and find new things. I would still not buy an iPhone though. I'll stick to my Galaxy S23. I don't care about the eco-system so much. 🤣

[@ssongzio]

Appreciate your honest reviews! I got the 15inch in starlight 16gb/512ssd config :)

[@CreatedbyEllaYT]

Glad I could help!

[@mrbenbenji]

OLED still has burn-in, so not having it is a plus in my view. 120hz / Promotion would be nice though.

[@aswinkumar1832]

ok so I have this laptop too, in midnight. I am watching this video from mine. The sound quality of the speakers is quite good I believe. I came from a 2022 hp envy x360 and the speaker on that was terrible. I only realised how bad it was when I upgraded to my Mac. I also do not believe that there is a need for upgrading this beast. I have used it for 3 months now and it is great. I use it for my notes, web-browsing, and bingeing Netflix. I also do some video projects for school and sometimes for fun. It honestly is super good. I will not replace it until it dies on me. My only ick is that the 15" model was just released, but it is not necessarily a regret as I appreciate this form factor for school. I bring this laptop to school everyday, and I love it.

[@DojoOfCool]

I got the Macbook Air M2 when it came out because I needed a small laptop for my music practice areas and wanted to checkout the M-series chips. Over the decades I alway had Macbook Pros so getting an entry level laptop was going to be a first. I got it when it first came out so have had it a long time and have to say I've been amazed how much I've ended up using it. My only issue is being older the 13" screen can get to be small, so I think about getting a larger screen Macbook. I have dropped my MBA M2 twice and no problems, the camera isn't great but for making piano video I use the iPhone Continuity Camera feature and get excellent video and no wires. It's size is very handy and battery life is great as you pointed out. It's on the high side for an entry level laptop, but I think it's worth it, with a M2 chip it will remain an excellent performer for a long time.

[@lanaaaa26]

are the screens fragile? or are they durable

[@AB-kq9xm]

I've been using the base model of this for several months. It's amazing, but I wouldn't recommend for pro designers, developers, and people with more demanding workflows. I have throttled mine a couple of times from web design/front-end dev type work. I can get around that in the near future by managing how many apps/windows I have open, but who knows for how long?

[@abdullahbinmadhi8306]

thermal pad and laptop cooler, problem solved.

[@piotrd.4850]

@@abdullahbinmadhi8306 Wouldn't be necessary if Apple did thermals right and software wasn't so bloated and emulated atop of the bloat.

[@hunderskunder2596]

thats why theres a pro model

[@AB-kq9xm]

@@hunderskunder2596 This is why I wrote the comment. I've seen a lot of reviews that suggest these computers are suitable for my type of work. In truth you can get by with them but probably not the very best choice.

[@ast453000]

I just got the 15" version with 16gigs of ram, and this thing is a beast. I can be on a zoom call all day and code and have multiple browsers open at the same time, and this thing doesn't heat up or make a sound. And I can do it all on the battery. Pretty impressive. I would say that this is the perfect laptop - unless you want to create/edit videos or play video games. It is not designed to do those things. If you want to do those things, get the Pro and/or a gaming laptop. For everything else, this is the best laptop I've ever used.

[@ianyyam]

Oh tip, if you get one of those displaylink USB to HDMI adapters (needs that displaylink module), you can actually get the M2 air to output to 2 monitors (one as you normally would plug it in, the other into another port). I found an adapter for like $35, plugged it into a dell dock and can run both monitors (and charge) off one cable!

[@infiseem]

Can you share the adapter link

[@SarahScape]

Share the link if possible PLEASE and thank you:)

[@EXPERTISE]

The only thing I disagree with is the comparison to the MBP mini-led display. You can 100% notice a difference with just daily use if they're side by side. If you look at just the lock screen of both of them together, you will be able to see how much more sharper, clearer, and vivid the MBP display is in comparison. With that said, day-to-day it's not really noticeable, but if you put the two machines side by side, you will 100% be able to tell the difference.

[@gokuljosh1186]

One issue that i have with the notch is that, few of the app icons get hidden behind it, I recently realised that icons close to notch were hidden when I connected an external display. I had to then Google on how to rearrange the icons to be able to move the icons around to bring the ones hidden behind notch to front.

[@Bagellatte]

I have always been using macbook since the age of technology, my 1st was a MBP which I used for 5 years or more and after that, I switched to MBA m1 and m2 now. Never been a window user.. ever since I have my M2 bought last year, been using it for school as a daily driver :)

[@jvm-tv]

Well the 15 inch air is out now. That's the one to get IMO!

[@mananrana9]

Lmao

[@johnnysans1618]

It’s not worth it. Best thing about the 15 inch is the price for this 13 inch goes down

[@walterwine]

Not really, if you value portability

[@avinashrajbonshi]

Not really. It’s all subjective, if you like a bigger screen get the 15 inch and if you like a smaller screen get the 13. IMO the 13 inch is still the most ideal laptop to get.

[@robertrobert2820]

It’s all subjective I needed to downsize from the 16 inch MacBook Pro, the screen there was way too big for traveling or to use comfortably on a classroom desk

[@Xhaser.iberia]

I got mine last Friday. I ordered it in April, but all of a sudden, I decided to cancel and wait for M3. it was going to cost me 2209€. But Apple came out with the new 15" recently, so M3 will surely be something for 2024, and I couldn't wait another year. I ended up getting the exact same computer for 500€ less than if I had bought it in April: Apple lowered the price 200€ since the 15" came out, and I discovered the refurbished section on Apples website. I got a refurbished one, with 3y warranty and apple care. I think I did an awesome deal. I have the latest Mac model, 500€ cheaper than when it came out. I think that 1709€ for 1TB + 16GB Air is a more acceptable price. I would be pissed right now, if I had spent the extra 500€ two months ago. and it's indeed a great little machine. I thought that the speakers would suck big time, but they are better than my previous 2017 MBPro. i am loving it 🤩

Thanks for this updated review. What configuration do you suggest for a college Biomedical Engineering student? I'm asking as I ordered/ configured the 13 inch MBA M2 with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for my daughter starting at Tufts University. We sold her 2017 MBA. Tufts Engineering suggested 16GB RAM; and I increased the SSD size to help with swap files and faster overall performance. Will this be enough?

[@jenniferjuarez595]

I was thinking of doing the same

[@virtualmanny]

Yup. Fantastic machine. Apple really knows its market. I think other reviewers just find faults in it for illogical reasons because it pays the bills.

[@casey.rob.]

The battery life is so good because the M2 chip is much more efficient than any Windows chips.

[@jameslatief1]

Base M2 13 inch MBA is available for $999 at B&H. I think this is the best deal for most people. $799 for M1 MBA is cheaper, but not worth it. It's a 3 year old laptop with a 5 year old outdated design. No fast charging or magsafe and shallow keyboard, it's not worth the additional $200 saved.

Screen refresh rate is the one thing that's holding me back from upgrading to this laptop. But I don't think the jump in price to the Pro is justified for the screen alone. Sure the Pro has all the bells and whistles. The M2 Air with 120 Hz would be the perfect laptop for me! Windows laptops are out of the question for me.

@@Andreadexxo gpu does the 2d and 3d graphics- the videos you watch, the colors you see when you paint in apps. Cpu does the commands; You opening, closing, making the computer do things like load. A lot of the times they work together. There is 20% more gpu performance in the 15 inch but tbh- we’re at a point in time where any m2 Apple device can handle 98 %of the human populations’ computing needs without ever seeing a slowdown (beachball indicator). The extra gpu cores on the m2 15 inch compared to the 13 inch really won’t matter to you if for example, you don’t do 3d animations and video editing with extra effects, coding in machine learning, etc..

Gaining 2x the CPU and 2.5x the GPU cores should remove all issues im having which are still minimal and the 10 hour media and 4-5 hour working battery life will be amazing.

Is the mac book air 15 the end of apple? Companies dont last forever nor do their business models in a market which is changing. Across euope things are changing as a result of global waring and ukrain war. Europe is heading for a complete change in mobile devices. The consensud for the future of tis market can be summed up as .. Import duty rises where there is less than 20% local content. Enforcement of monopolies in britain to promote competition Right to repair will be enforced legally Harware sold in Europe must be capable of running five independent operating systems without modification to increase the life of hardware. The eclusive use of materials which can be recycled by a wide veriety of manufacturers. Thats phasing out more than 10% plastics content. Must be upgradeale by the owner to increase user life. The Mac book air does not conform to these new market conditions which will be adopted by many other countries .

Had to return my air m2 because the screen is getting scratched by the keyboard. Apparently because of the pressure when putting the laptop in a backpack. I mean it’s a laptop you bring it around. Otherwise i would’ve gotten a desktop if don’t plan on bringing it with me

HDR content is extremely common, Netflix and most movies on Apple TV are like almost all HDR.

Wait 5 years. Will your battery still be working?

[@Hawonku]

Yes?

[@FireMunki63]

The base model has 10 GPU cores even on the 8GB version certainly in the UK and just checked on the USA site too. I can't find a GPU 8 Core version where is this? The 8 Core is only available on the 13" version. Was this some sort or rare initial version?

My 13” M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM and 512GB Storage will be here in a few days. I’m so excited! :))

[@RobertSmith-qs2gm]

Omg talking about GPU’s and ram I don’t have a clue

[@MichaelDuran]

Wait, M2's still don't support dual displays?! ... I thought that was just an M1 limitation. Grrrr....

I think that Apple has been very clear all throughout the last decades. They want you to 1) buy a laptop on a pretty frequent basis, say once every 4 or 5 years, and so despite it essentially do what you can do with your laptop if it properly worked well; 2) perceive as a real danger for your files to migrate elsewhere. So, when you buy an Apple product, never think in long terms. You will be disappointed as I have been.

I paid 1200 for my last MacBook 5 years ago. That means it cost me on average $20 a month which is for Work purposes 1$ a day =20 business days a month. I would say that pretty fair value

[@meganoid_9001]

@@pitchbuckets2860 the day it unexpectedly breaks and you will not be able to recover anything from your hard drive because you laptop is "vintage", that day you might wish to change your mind. BTW, it happened to me TWICE!

[@pitchbuckets2860]

@@meganoid_9001 it depends on what kind of break. In almost 95% of cases a dead Mac even one that won’t turn on can be recovered or fixed. I have recovered a 2011 MacBook before that was dead and wouldn’t turn on ( tried to recover any lost crypto I possibly had stored years ago. I took it to computer shop and it was $210 to recover it and swap parts to refurbish. I guess it depends on what kind of break and motherboard is being used. My Mac’s have held the test of time. You can also use your home insurance to cover electronic issues. I do agree that Apple positions itself based off of life time value and ultimately subscription based product lines. Once you’re in the eco system you have a hard time getting out.

I use my iPhone as a webcam. I don't understand the use of this notch... 😖

[@user-ej1sk4ne6p]

I can get the MacBook 13 pro m2 for the same price as the air m2, I’m super torn what do you recommend

[@nikoma_]

I maxed out all the specs on mine. Absolutely love it.

[@sirrabhsurya5087]

What are the menu bar memory pressure apps you are using Ella? Can you please let me know.

[@guitarkc5522]

i been using M2 air for about a year, only time where i had performance issues is when playing games, running stable diffusion, and running ML models, oh and skip the Sonoma 14.0 and upgrade straight to 14.1 beta.. Sonoma 14.0 is plagued with memory leak issues

I think there is something to wait for - these devices to showup on apple certified refurbished and prices to drop when thr new ones are announced.
