I just ordered the 16gb RAM 1TB SSD version for $1438. Can’t wait for it to arrive

The air i can somewhat give a pass, but the fact that the pro models also come 8gb standard is pretty insane. I used an 8gb air (work issued), and i'm always having to do ram management with apps/browser tabs. Can get up to like 10gb of swap being used if i dont manage it.

Appreciate your videos!
Do you have any Ipad recommendations?

And when it comes to buying a new Macbook Air in 7 years time there is a small chance that the base model will then be 16GB Ram and 512GB SSD. Or maybe not!

I have an M2 with 8GB RAM. I use it for a lot of the same things as my gaming PC with 16GB, and I honestly never notice a difference! In fact, sometimes the M2 feels faster. 8GB may not be much but it is utilized very well.

This of course doesn’t negate apple’s RAM scam, but as you’ve stated, damn do they know what they’re doing… they’ve engineered their cheap decisions to be as unnoticeable as possible.

as someone that owns the M2 Macbook air 15, DONT BUY THIS JUNK. Its so slow for the price compared to an M1 Macbook air. I litrally wanna throw this laptop into a wall.

But why not a macbook air 2020 with m1?

I would never buy a brand new M powered Apple computer. They are just overpriced pieces of junk with tons of failure points and impossible to upgrade or service. I love my Intel Macs so much. I personally don't give a rat's ass if they are a few seconds slower on boot, or a bit slower for something else. The price gap is just not justified IMHO. I'm not in such a hurry that 2 more seconds to load a web page makes any difference.
