I beg for the day we have iphone mini, ipad mini, and macbook air all with oled 120hz

I have a slimebook M2 with 16 gigs of ram and 1tb of storage, its genuinely fantastic. I use it for music production and video editing with Logic and Final Cut, Works perfectly and have never had an issue runs both programs like a dream even with multiple streams of 4k footage in final cut

I had the 15" M2 for ten days but had to exchange it for the 14" M3 Pro. Xcode would stop responding from light task. I did a factory reset and issue persist. I exchanged it for the 14" M3 Pro because it was on sale at Best Buy for $1749. Otherwise, I would have just told Best Buy my 15" is a defect and needs to be replaced. I really do miss the 15" screen size but for $1749 on a brand new 14" M3 Pro, I could not pass up on that offer.

I have it for over 5+ months now close to a year and it’s an absolute beast! I only maxed out the RAM to 24gb ram with 256gb SSD cause i don’t really see a difference with the speeds and I always don’t mind the waiting on the downloads anyway since I’m doing something else to keep me busy. Overall, I’m very satisfied with it! Use multiple tabs, have photoshop open while watching a stream or YouTube, pretty much have multiple applications open and the 24gb ram REALLY helps to not wear out the SSD swap or MacBook itself, absolute powerful machine!

I’m still using the base M1 MacBook Air. It’s a great little computer.. I really like it. Screen, speakers and build quality are nicer than anything I’ve had before it.

I just stream video.. YouTube and Apple TV and Apple Music. I’d have gotten a 14” M1 Pro if I was managing a YouTube channel with it. That extra ram and GPU cores go a long way.

I am considering to swap the other way around from M2 Air to M3 Pro. I'm not sure, because I actually like the small factor of M2 Air. How about M3 Air?

[jpogigtxcr]

Welp… 2024 macbook air m3 is now available for preorder. Solves this dilemma.

I had the M2 MacBook Air and I loved it but I had the base model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. I wanted 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. By that point I got to the M3 Base MBP, that is priced at $1, 679. And than I am close to the M3 Pro Base model at $1, 849. I liked the Mini LED screen so worth the cost IMHO.

I bought an M3 Pro MBP for school, but quickly realized that it is A LOT of computer. I upgraded from an i5 Lenovo I bought in 2016. I found a 13” M2 MacBook Air on FB Marketplace and jumped on it. I use the Air a lot more than the Pro (which stays in clamshell mode in my office). The Air is much more convenient and the screen is almost the same size as the MBP.

and honestly the microphone on the macbook was better than the actual video mic

[techhubwiltsuk]

Cool, I adore my m2 MacBook Air 15inch and it’s is a more than capable device

[Dannyjeon]

My MacBook Air m2. 😢It’s too bad that even watching YouTube that thing gets hot.

[iliana_b]

i got it and i couldn't be happier! got a nice 200 euros discount too!

[AustinDowdle]

I’m starting school in a couple weeks and I found myself needing a computer for school so here I am seeing if this is the computer for me after I found a good deal on one for 650 on eBay

using a 15 inch dell gaming laptop from 2019 with 1 terabyte's storage and 32 gb ram

If you didn't have a gaming setup, I would have recommended you hold off until the M3 Air gets released next month (March 2024). Since you already have a gaming setup, the M2 Air is all you need based on your workflow. The M3 Air won't make a substantial difference.

[mikascherhag]

I would get the air but the input lag and refresh rate i can't deal with

[Bambotb]

Will the screen be mini led this year ? If not not need to wait

How are you emotionally handling the marks on the midnight blue ?
