Short answer-The MacBook air m2 base is good for programming.

As a full stack and mobile developer, the m2 base model is handling well all my needs.

Last week I purchased the M2 13 inch for college, previously I was a windows user for past 10 years, first computer at 8 years of age, it was difficult for first 2 days, but now I am loving the machine.

For those using the MacBook Air M2 (16GB unified memory, 512GB SSD storage) for App Development, what has your experience been so far

Hey Kevin, thanks for the review this made it a lot more clear than others. I loved your presentation too but I have a couple lingering questions… how does this perform under load? I’m asking as due to the air not having active cooling, did you experience any thermal throttling or anything? This is literally what’s caught me in the middle between a pro and the air lol

Thank you for this. I just ordered a new base model m2 with DEEP discount (200 bucks off) on Amazon and I wasn’t sure if I made the right move. Truth is, I had no choice. I could not afford to pay more than the 800 bucks 😅

For context, I had a 2019 16” MBP with 16GB RAM until it died. And I used it for Xcode mostly.

I concede that m2 pro is better from the performance perspective, but from personal consideration, I really don't like the touch bar! therefore, the m2 air has more competitive.

Hi, nice vid! Did you write that game or is it a publicly available source code project? If it's open, I would like to use it for benchmarking purposes. Also, is that MBA the space gray or the starlight? In different lights, I could swear it's either. Thanks.

Hello Bro, I am a software engineer student, and I’m looking for MacBook for studying, and working. Which is better for your opinion: 10-core MacBook Air m2 with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage, or 10-core MacBook Pro m2 13inch with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage?? Answer pls, I need a help🥺

Hi Kevin. I enjoyed your video thank you for amazing contents. I’m an IT student and it’s been a while that I work on neural networks, for example in my thesis, I’m using PyTorch library to classify some nodes in a large social network dataset. I had an intel MacBook Pro and I sold it. now I wanna buy a MacBook for doing so. As you know Apple has a back to school promotion and I could buy a 14-inch MacBook Pro or an iPad Pro besides an M2 MacBook air.
Which one should I go with? The 14-inch MacBook pro or the combo (iPad +MacBook air)
If I choose the M2 MacBook air is it need to upgrade the ram to 16gb or the base model would be enough.
Thank you again.

It's all good if u wanna get a 16GB ram until u hear that the price difference between a 8GB ram MacBook Air vs 16GB ram is 300$

Thanks for the video, I am a web programmer, and I also use virtual machines a lot, with this video I realized that I could end up falling short at some point,

Hello, is it better to choose MBP M2 rather than MPA M2 for backend development? If so, does 8gb ram is enough?
