WHY I RETURNED the 2022 M2 Macbook Air... Should you? (Cons, Dealbreakers, Annoyances)

I had the 2022 M2 Macbook Air for a total of two days before I returned it to the Apple store. Here are some of the reasons why I decided to return it and wait for next year's Macbook Pro to release. In this video, some of these dealbreakers might apply to you, so let me know if this helped in any way!

I got the M1 Air 16GB/1TB for $1199 brand new. That’s a much better deal than an M2 with all its cons

Lack of dual monitor support was why I returned mine also. For the processing power and price of this laptop, it should support dual monitors without additional docks. Period.

all your pain points for returning the product were available to you before buying, i dont understand why did you get it in the first place

I think throttling is a little out of the water. I have edited 4k60fps video on the base M2 air and my only regret is really only the 8GB of ram. Battery did drain quicker, but the machine itself never overheated. Lots of pros really do push the machines, and in that case, better off getting anything with an M1 Pro or above

I really love my MacBook Air M2. Been using it for a month, and it suits my own needs.
