Did get the M2 Pro 16GB, 1TB for my channel and love it. Do not mind the size, normally i edit at home, and also when i take it with me it is not too much to handle. Good comparison, I think the average consumer is well suited with the Base M2 Air. Happy Sunday and cheers from Germany.

I don't agree with comments saying weight doesn't matter and people are overthinking it. Weight factor while carrying a computer in your briefcase or backpack might not seem like issue for every now and then but when you carry it everyday, it makes a big difference, esp. with briefcases to office.

[@Aeonikst8]

[@Лари-н5ы]

I have a MacBook Air M2 base model and I'm totally fine with it. In graphic design I don't see any lags

[@captaincaleb34]

I upgraded from the m1 13inch MacBook Pro to the m2 MacBook Air, I couldn't justify the performance gain of the 14inch pro and wanted the new design, I use it for youtube, mail, and "casual" gaming. I say casual since the heaviest game I play is Tabletop Simulator.

[@AZisk]

Super vid ❤. Between these two I’d go for the Air. The 14” Pro is just not worth the bucks for me. I would much rather get the 16” for the pro features. The 14” is just there to fill in Apple’s price ladder, IMO. Just did a vid about this very thing. Cheers!

@@StarkiIler haha yep!

[@leesinisbae8278]

I disagree, i believe it is the perfect compromise between portability and power. The 16" really isn't portable, and for the slight difference in price between 14" base and M2 512/16, I prefer to have better screen, better CPU etc

[@AZisk]

@@leesinisbae8278 You just said the 16” isn’t portable. I want to know why 1 extra pound makes a laptop not portable, please.

[@leesinisbae8278]

@@AZisk Because even 14" isn't super light, plus, the 16" it's big, and you can read tons of reviews online that point out problems when used outside home due to the dimensions. It is a great working station if you're working from home and doing very few travelling etc. Otherwise, 14" is a smarter choice.

[@davidperrii]

Honestly this could all be summarized by 1. What do you prioritize? A lot of people will think they need the mac book pro because its the top line, but they'll probably only use it for web browsing. A good amount of people will think they could get away with getting the air because of the lower price point but their workload would require more processing/graphical power

[@thedocrecords00]

I think the argument against the M2 Air is that if you don't need excessive power/speed for everyday browsing and emails, why not go for the M1 Air which is an even better value and is still more than powerful enough for those same everyday tasks. I would also argue that the M1 Air design language feels slimmer and lighter with the tapered edges although on paper I think it may weigh more than the M2 Air.

[@mza2001]

Bro your a lifesaver, i just left the apple store now and in the car with the M2 Pro after initially decided on the air which the RAM usage was going to affect my uni studies/ internship job balance thanks to that segment.

Very good video. I'm (by any definition) a power-user. Most of my Mac use revolves around Xcode, Visual Studio or Video-editing. I also make heavy use of Virtual Machines via VMware and Parallels. (and a lot of saving of family photos). My current work laptop is a top of the line 2019 MBP Core i9 with 32GB RAM. This was an expensive machine and is only a few years old. I recently purchased my wife an M2 Air with 16GB RAM and 512GB HDD. I took the opportunity to play with it. Nearly every single thing I do on my work laptop I can do on her M2 Air, and do much faster. (Even without the dedicated GPU that I have now). Do I want to upgrade mine to an M2 Pro or M2 Pro (Max)?? (Especially for the ability to run both of my Studio Displays?). Yes. Do I need to? No! The M2 Air would still be an upgrade for nearly all of my workflow. Is it the fastest available now? No. Is it faster than what I have at a far smaller cost than a new M2 Pro or Pro (Max). Heck to the yeah! A bigger surprise is that my 32GB Intel MBP machine routinely uses the swap file. With the same work, I've NEVER hit it on her M2 Air. Memory compression magic? I have NO idea, but it works, and it works fast. (That's even with a Windows VM running). The only thing I'd change on my wife's M2 Air if I were to use it is that I'd get 1TB internal storage. I wouldn't get the 24GB memory option because that gets me too close to the 32GB model of the M2 MacBook Pro. I'm still not sure what I'll end up getting. I can afford either, but the M2 Air is certainly a viable option now. (and it's very nice to carry around being as lite as it is).

Hi Andres, I am currently looking to buy a laptop for my studies in CS and am debating between the m2 air and pro. Seen quite some videos and posts about it and it’s all so different. Some say air won’t be enough while some says air is enough. What are your final thoughts and what would you recommend

[@deathineyes]

Wow definitely M2 Air is pretty enough

[@SFBayPhotographer]

I had a 2011 Macbook Pro 13inch. Died on me in 2020. Then went to a Intel Silicon MBA 16gb of RAM. Last year I really got into photography and for a typical 100 photo edit on lightroom it would take me 6 hours to move through the workspace and get the final edits I wanted. Thermal throttled like crazy. I just bought a 2023 M2 MBP 16inch with 96GB of RAM. It is SEAMLESS. Workflows drastically streamlined - and even at full tilt the fans remain off and max RAM use so far was 40GB during a 100x 40MP photo export. I love the larger size.....easier to hold and control during movement and the larger screen and more robust chassis is a major plus. Sure - 96GB of ram might be overkill but who knows if by the end of the year I'll be editing 4k/8k videos as my passion increases.

[@HenriqueAraujoCunha]

Nice video! I just ordered a MBP 14 base model with 32Gb of RAM (with 512Gb of SSD). I think this will hold pretty well for at least 5 years. Too bad Apple does not offer the the MBP in Midnight blue. I then ordered it in Space Gray instead.

[@photoniccannon2117]

I'd go for the M2 if, for no other reason, you'll get a longer lifetime out of it due to longer software support cycles. That being said, both machines have at least 5 years of full software support left (Apple typically phases machines out about five years after they were last sold new), so either will last a decent amount of time.

I carry around my laptop a LOT, from a day at the library to different lecture halls to seminars in different cities - and I very much prefer to travel with one small bag (carry-on only if I'm flying), so even small weight and size differences do add up. I'm still quite torn between which one to get, 14" Pro or M2 Air, for my comp sci bachelor's. I'd get the full 24 GB RAM on the Air (I know it's probably more than I'll realistically need, but I've lived the low RAM life and am not risking repeating that experience) and the better processor option, 512 GB drive.. but then it's not super far from similarly spec 14" Pro prices. So I keep going back and forth and can't make up my mind. Realistically, I should be perfectly fine with an Air. And the low weight is very appealing. But if I'm already paying four months of rent for an Air, does it make more sense to just go all out, spend a bit more, and get a Pro? I can't make up my mind 🤷

If you move around with your laptop a lot because of work and don’t want extra accessories, 2TB might be worth it. But, storage upgrades at Apple are expensive.

Hello everyone. I have the very base level macbook pro 13’. I was thinking about upgrading because my model is very slow.

I was thinking about getting the M2 14’ with 12 core cpu, 19 gpu and 16 gigs of memory. I know for a fact that this computer will last me, plus it has HDMI for my monitor, instead of having to plug in extra devices from amazon, it has an SD port which is self explanatory, and this thing looks and feels great. I was going to buy it in the next month, but i’m open to any suggestions if you guys have them. thanks!

@@j.m4a1 if you must go apple, 512 If you are only browsing the internet and light work 8gb should be enough. I also suggest to upgrade their warranty to 3 years. But if you don't have to go apple there are a tons of good laptops at a lower price with plenty of rooms for future upgrades/repairs

@@RAaaa777 it would be $1600 for a 512gb, 16gb m2 air with 3 years of Apple care. would a $1700 refurbished m2 MacBook Pro 512gb, 16gb be a better buy ? The $1700 is before any Apple care so it’d be even more expensive

@@j.m4a1 refurbished from apple is a good idea, from my understanding they are in brand new condition. The pro one also has a fan so it runs much cooler. The mini led screen on the pro is probably the best (on par with oleds without burn in issues) If you are ok paying this much and you are ok with macos go with it. Just make sure you understand that if this thing breaks for whatever reason it is very difficult to repair, be careful with liquids around the laptop
