What's up everyone?! I hope this long-term review of the 15” M2 MacBook Air was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

Would love to know what you think.Is this a laptop that you would use and why or why not. If you’re currently using something else, please share your experience with me.  I am grateful in advance 🙏

Just got my MacBook Air 15'' last week. Upgraded the RAM to 16GB and SSD to 512GB, per recommended by many YouTubers. It is my first MacBook, and I'm still figuring it out coming from a lifetime Windows user. It has been a smooth transition so far. It's fast, snappy and as a giant of a man, 15'' is just the perfect size for me. I can barely feel the weight in my backpack whenever I'm on the go. The battery life is insanely good. Graphic is amazing. It's a all-rounder laptop for general user.

The Midnight color is fire. I enjoyed your explanation how yours appears to be getting used and it is as easy as wiping it down! Thank you!
Outstanding video. The MBA is for the casual user and that 15 inch is a nice upgrade over the 13.5 inch.

I’ve had my 15” for about a month. It’s definitely my favorite laptop. I use both windows and Mac. After using Windows for work and home for the last year I am really enjoying the MacOS experience. I don’t need anything crazy powerful for what I do so the thin form factor and large screen are more important. I still use a Windows laptop for work, but I can throw this in my bag as well and it is so light I barely notice the weight difference. I expect that I’ll get at least a couple years of use from this one before passing it on to someone else in the family.

I have the Midnight blue color and I think it's the best color Apple has ever created. I maxed out the RAM to 24GB and gave it a 1TB of storage. As a software developer it can do everything that I need, providing a large high quality display, great speakers, and the most comfortable (low and spacious palm rest) typing deck. The travel weight is best-in-class, thanks to the newly reduced 70W power adapter. I took it on a trip to Europe and (unlike my 16 inch MacBook Pro) could barely feel it in backpack. For my needs ... it is perfect.

Can you give the link to those wallpapers on your Macs? Again, great video as always!

I got my base model MacBook Air 15" for $1, 049 and am blown away. Coming from a 2018 MacBook Pro 16" this laptop is an improvement in every way and I still can't get over the insane battery life.

I bought mine a year ago when it was released and am absolutely delighted with it. I went for Space Grey, and 512 MB SSD but stupidly selected only 8GB ram. I thought I should have gone foe the 16 or even the 24GB version, but to be honest, It performs perfectly. I produce my photos from my Canon EOS 90D - in raw they can be 40-45MB big, yet even with 2.5GB of swap some times, there doesnt appear to be a problem. with my little MBA. Im in no particular hurry so I dont mind the perceived slower performance people seem to bang on about. In every day use, its great.

Just got my m2 air 15 inch with 16gb and 512 ssd for $850 on marketplace and am beyond stoked, thanks for the great review

That "looking right at you, Intel MacBook" warranted a rewind. That was funny. Also, flippin' love my 15" MBA.

[albaraa_PC]

Hi man, your content is amazing, but I want to know where did you get this wallpapers for all your videos? I mean on devices

[huwdavies-tallon]

Had mine for 4 month's now super quick gorgeous looking midnight blue would recommend to anyone.

I love my Starlight M2 MBA for more everyday stuff 🥰 Didn’t think I would like a bigger laptop since I never had anything larger than 13” but that extra screen real estate is sweet. I have a Mac Mini with upgraded RAM for my video and media work since I’m a bit nervous to run heavy apps for that with my Air, M2 or not.

I bought a MBA M1 16/1tb somewhat future proof first thing when it introduce for over three years ago. Newer had a glitch with it or feel some lack of weak power, with a 24" LG screen i had what I need. Now with around 10 000 hours of use I can feel less battery power, so it will be replaced in a year. Then I have it for another 3-4 year. I can not think of anything who it will be replaced for. I don´t see 15" will be that much better, only heavier.
I wish they could produce a real Air, 12 inch less than 1kg.

I couldn't help staring at the Rubrik's cube.

[chasingtheLord]

As a student with a m1 13 MacBook Pro. Is there any advantage to upgrading to an m2 or m3 air 15inch? My thought process was wanting a bigger screen for more real estate, using multiple documents when writing papers. I don’t game, but also wouldn’t mind light video editing.

[KevinStagg]

Midnight M2 - 16GB RAM and 1 Terabyte = $1499 at Best Buy.

BOOM.

[owenchuarbx]

The M3 variants of the MBA have just came out. Mind if you can do a comparison between this and the M3 model, thanks

Btw, I like your kind of making these videos. To the point and honest without being overly dramatic as some other YT content creators can be ... *cough, Winer...cough*... 😂

I have a M1 iPad Pro 12.9 and don't really use it and was going to trade it in or sell it - I love the 15 inch size and thinness of the 15 inch air, but want the display of the pros... is it really that noticeable when using NOT side by side? i.e. should I wait for the m3 version to see if they update the display specs?
