I'm a professional music mix engineer and freelance video editor. I got this laptop about 3 weeks ago (base model, 256gb ssd/8 gb ram). in the real world; this has been more than enough. I have worked on several 60+ track mixes without a hitch, as well as editing a couple 15 min+ videos on Final Cut. the only problem I faced was storage, but nothing an external ssd can't fix. it did all this while only getting a bit warm for a bit of the video editing and its rendering. if you get this, base model or not, you will have gotten a very nice machine that can handle work loads without breaking a sweat

Bought the m2 a couple weeks ago. I don’t regret buying it. There will always be something newer and better. I’ll upgrade a few years down the line.

I'm stuck choosing m1 and m2 before but now i ended up choosing m2, it has better compatibility and the design is just so sick, it feels "future"

I just went for the base 13 inch m2 air. I'm upgrading from my early 2015 13 inch mbp. I don't use a laptop for anything super demanding, that's what my desktop is for. It's just funny to me how most of the reviews I see for this config are coming from power users. Obviously if you're a power user on a laptop, get the Pro.

I am using this M2 256G and so far everything is good. I didn't experience any lag while editing content in Photoshop and Illustrator which was my problem with my old laptop. I guess the thing that has a "lag" moment is when I manipulate a file from an external drive. Nevertheless, all are perfectly well. I might consider an upgrade possible once I have more things to do which I guess some people can do for me.

To be fair, I have a m1 MacBook Air and it’s been flawless. Handles everything I throw at it. I’ll have 30 tabs open and run 3-4 apps at the same time and works like a champ. I even video edit on it and it handles that great too. I even use it to connect 2 monitors with a display link dock and it does that too. In a year of ownership it’s only gotten hot twice. Unless you’re a YouTuber and you need to edit huge files then maybe get 16gb but for the average pro user it’ll be fine.

I also got it brand new for $750. It’s a beast! If Apple drops prices for the ram upgrade only then I would upgrade the ram but 8gb has been great for me.

YouTubers cannot stop making the same content with a new title every month. Blood sucker mosquitos

I just bought the base model 15 inch. You kinda got me worried there talking about storage and RAM, but I made the decision since I haven’t done anything more than casual web/document use in the past 2+ years. I even hate having too many browser tabs open, so I think I made the right call.

[johnroedbacting]

nahh with 8Gb i didn't notice any lags at all 4 windows and 20-30 tabs haha

I have M1 Air base model and the 256gigs is totally fine. Running business, connecting to the server with windows, 2-3 light games (have xbox for gaming), 2-4 movies downloaded in 4k and still have 98gigs free.
So for normal basic people with office job it's totally fine to have basic models.

I have a MacBook air M2 with a keyboard slim silicone cover and the screen has no scratch. What are you even talking about? You should be a little more objective, you review stuff

Just bought the M2 Air 16/512 8 Core GPU yesterday and upgraded from 2016 MacBook Pro. I still bought it because of the back to school discount and the potential price increase for M3 Macs since the iPhone 15 lineup got a price bump locally this year.

if you wanna love your devices. don't watch this guy :) he always complains about them.

[Mesmr]

Got mine jan 2023 and only have 17 battery cycles on it 100% battery health, the only complaint I have is that the air feels almost too thin? It just feels as though I always have to be incredibly careful around it and when handling it feels not sturdy at all. I know a main feature of the air is to be thin and lightweight but still it’s hard not to notice but overall definitely happy with the performance and battery, I’ll get 11-13 hours actual use and if I leave it on sleep for 4-5 days that’s equivalent to an hour or two usage so I could get an extra hour or so

As a student and a part timer at a computer retail store i use this mac for both (the 8gb and 256gb model) and it has no problems at all. I write emails and do paperwork quotations at work and some basic Microsoft office stuffs for uni. Main reason i got this was at work they use a Lenovo laptop thats 16gb ram and i5 10th gen and this mac blows the office laptop out of water.. I get that the base model gets complaints from every YouTuber there is but for an average consumer don’t worry it’s enough and just go for it.

[hubert]

Just bought mine last month, loving it!!!!

I'm an accountant I used windows for 30 years and switched to M2 Mac a few months back. Never going back to windows! I've never even known it had 8gb of memory, it just works which windows doesn't do.

[thenexthobby]

Never buy anything, understood. Well, except for maybe the M1 which was recommended as "still best, " 3 months ago. Brilliant!

[animelover]

I believe this might not be the right fit for me moving forward.
Not only is it quite costly, but it also lacks a dedicated graphics card.

Hi Arthur, I have a few questions:

Should I trade in my 14 Pro to 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max? I prefer the smaller size of the 13/14 Pro and my previous 12 Pro Max was to big and heavy to use. But the Titanium will make the Pro Max lighter.

Is it safe to get a 13 Pro brand new
from parallel importer store?

Should I upgrade to the 15 Pro/Max or 16 Pro/Max?
On the one hand, it’s an S year (every 3 years) since the iPhone 13 Pro so it is usually a more stable and reliable iPhone.
On the other hand, odd numbered iPhones since the iPhone 11 Pro (every 2 years) have better battery life and are more stable than even numbered iPhones.
