The additional fact that there was the issue with the SSD's that are being presented, it made me go the direction of the Pro. I love the form factor of the Air over the Pro but aesthetics isn't the only thing that got me there. Hope they go this direction with the future updates for all the designs but don't hate what I have.

Safari, it seems, is programmed to interpret this setting to mean that it should reduce the number of times it paints to the screen to prolong battery life.

@madan pal the 256k and 4K random reads and writes are about the same if not faster in the m2 air so for most users they will never notice the performance difference or have a better experience even on the 256gb air. Also, hardly any users spring for a TB3 nvme pcie SSD external drive. They are either using an HDD or at best a USB3.1 Gen 2 SSD that maxes out around 1GBps. So they will never have an occasion to utilize this speeds pretty much. File copies to the same drive are instantaneous now with the APFS filesystem.

I waited for the M2 to release, got a great deal on the last bit of remaining M1 air base model stock and bought it

The ending reminded me of that one episode of family guy where Peter trips and holds his leg 😂

I've been using my M1 Air daily for almost a year now. I personally love that it DOESN'T have a fan, because it keeps silent the 99% of the time the CPU isn't at full speed. I'm not afraid to keep the computer at weird angles or on bad surfaces because it's completely solid.

Unless you are doing specific things, you will never notice that SSD speed difference. Copying large files every day? Sure, maybe. The most important figures are the random reads/writes.

@@andreewert6576 True. It’s really not a huge deal. Basically, if you’re copying a bunch of vids from one folder to another, that’s where you’ll see a speed difference. Everything else: external storage will be your bottleneck. I’ve got a stupid fast PCIE nvme drive in my desktop (PC). 7gigs per second or something? Literally cannot tell it’s that fast lol. I’d still be fine with my old 1.5gig/second Intel drive.

@@tiestofalljays so many people fall for this. My boot drive is a PCIe3 1TB Samsung 970. There are folks who would call sub 3GB/s performance "too slow" today. Meanwhile, i've pondered going for SATA-M.2s as boot disks for friend's builds, because windows, browers, programs and many games just feel the same with 500MB/s as they do with 5000. Not saying i wouldn't buy NVMEs, it just use them for stuff that actually profits.

@@andreewert6576 Yep for sure. I’ve thrown SATA SSDs in friend’s builds (Samsung EVO models). They work great. No complaints about them being “slow”. Even DRAM Cache is a mostly unnecessary feature **unless you’re using the drive as a system/OS drive**. For a non-power user/someone who doesn’t copy loads of videos/photos, DRAM cache on a secondary drive is pretty much inconsequential. I’m 99% sure my 2TB secondary Nvme drive doesn’t have a DRAM cache. Just use it for games - works fine. Really only matters in a ‘high write’ environment.

Thanks Anthony, I really appreciate your advice. I got the 512gb M1 air a little over a year ago with the intention of using that while I waited for the M1 Pro to come out. I ended up skipping the M1 pro because my M1 air was more capable than I expected it to be, and I loved the light weight as someone with back issues. At this point I'll probably just sell it and get a M2 air instead, the higher end one like you recommended. Thanks so much for your advice pal

@@ThunderDraws Unfortunately I only got 8gb of ram, which definitely bothers me. I originally tried to order the 16gb, 512gb version, but they said it would take a week to arrive. So I saw I could get the 8gb, 512gb same day and I went for it cause in my mind it was only going to be temporary anyway so what the hell. I wish I had considered that I might actually want to keep the M1 air, in that case I would have definitely been willing to wait the extra week for 16gb of ram. So now I'm not sure what to do lol. but I know I wish I had 16gb of ram.

4:26 "Pro's display is sRGB whereas this one is DCI-P3" The 2022 M2 MacBook Pros do have P3 colour. MacBook Pros have had P3 since the 2016 models. Anthony might have mixed it up with older MacBook Airs which didn't get P3 support until the M1 models.

Anthony - Canada's answer to Meat Loaf 🤣🤣🤣

I almost feel like they're doing this on purpose. The M1 MBA was sufficient for a lot of professionals. It was almost too good, so they had to throttle it back to encourage people to spend more. Ultimately, I went with a 14" MBP M1 for $1616 at BB (Open-Box).

Seriously the M1 air was more powerful than their best intel macbook pros, which professionals had been using for ages. So ya most people don't need more

I actually can't wait for the LTT/Mac Address video on this laptop since I'm considering upgrading from a base model 13" Intel MacBook Pro. Performance and all that will obviously be better, but I kinda want to see how it holds up comparatively since M2 had a rough start with the 13" MBP.

Hey Anthony! Would be nice if you could give advice to the students in these kind of review videos, so we know whether the base model is enough for school or not, for the obvious reason we dont want to spend money unnecessarily on a higher end model.

Keeping my M1 MBA 1TB/16. It’s the best tech product I’ve ever purchased. Top 3 for sure.

Yes, Anthony. The headphone jack is high impedance. Anyway, as nice as the MacBook Air looks, the fact that there’s no fan has me greatly concerned. Not that I didn’t expect no fan, but the M2 chip with a fan in the base MacBook Pro is already throttling.

I ended up just getting 14in MB pro. I got it for 1850 with apple education pricing as well as a 150 dollar gift card. It just makes more sense, the air needs to be upgraded in order for it to be worth it, but at that point you’re only a few hundred dollars away from getting a much better screen, more ports, dual external monitors, and more. Love the new color on the air though.

Also better speakers! 14” M1 Pro is slightly slower on single core, but slightly quicker on multi-core - so that aspect balances out.

I honestly do not like anything Apple does, but I'm half considering getting an M2 Air and running ASAHI Linux on it (avoids the *awful* non-standard keyboard layout and their walled garden)

The pro exists for sustained workloads and also if you only have that laptop available for any PC gaiming (however limited that may be). So, yeah. There IS a market for it. But atm, the other M1 pro options are better, I believe.
