quick question, I bought the MacBook Air M2 8 GB RAM but notice when multiple tabs are open the rainbow wheel comes back into the screen. Can I fix this by closing multiple tabs before I edit for example short-form video via capcut or should I upgrade to a 16 GB RAM. I would love to hear your expertise

I bought this laptop for my niece last year on her birthday, due to being an excellent student den and taking college classes in high school. Let say she love taking it everywhere, and doing both her class work and homework on it. For young students is a perfect fit for their work, specially if they use an IPHONE.

This is how you make videos that connect with the audience and consumers. Many big-time KZreadrs think that anything short of an M2 Max MacBook Pro is weak, and wouldn't touch the base model. For most people, the base of the MBA is pretty sick awesome quality. No other laptops in that price range comes close. I could also say the same for the Mini, actually. Just for context, I got the base model, but upgraded to 16GB ram instead.

Honestly, the first & only video review of the MacBook Air that *didn’t* make me want to pull my hair out out of frustration. I literally saw a video comparing an air computer to a MacBook Pro of similar size (13” Air to 14” Pro & 15” Air to 16” Pro). Like, if you’re needing to compare the air to the pro… just get the pro. I also appreciated the fact that you gave real world examples of how you used this computer. I’m planning on getting the 13” MacBook Air (most likely base model because I’m broke as hell 😅) so I can go back to college & finish my degree in a business field dealing with a lot of excel stuff and office work, so it’s nice to know that I won’t be struggling with that. Seriously, those basic office/classroom tasks are almost never talked about. Even on videos specifically for “MacBook Air for students” they still only talk about rendering videos and stuff. Like tell me how having a few safari tabs open for a research project, a word document, & a video/ music player (Hulu, Netflix, etc or Apple Music or Spotify) in the background will affect my experience. Sorry for the rant, it just sucks never getting to hear your specific needs… the entire reason why you’re getting your first computer in half a decade 😤

Best and most practically honest review I have heard yet on this specific product. I have one of these waiting for me in an online cart which I was going to go ahead and purchase yesterday, but I held off when I was told that the 8 gigs of RAM would be an eventual waste of money sooner than later. This was told to me by a Geek Squad rep at a BestBuy store who admittedly did not claim to be an expert on Macs, but did claim to know a little common knowledge relative to them. I still think he did not realize that I was only considering the base model as an everyday use machine for emails, some web browsing/shopping, listening to music now and then, and doing my tax returns, paying bills, a video call and such. Before I make the move to purchase, please confirm for me that I will be fine with this machine for at least 3 years. All the best to you, and many thanks.

Thanks and noted!

While perhaps unrealistic, the expectations placed on the M2 Air were due, in part, to how well the M1 performed on those same tasks. The biggest gripe about the M2 is not just the single NAND chip storage. Primarily, it was the resulting performance downgrade on several tasks due to the single NAND Chip with a marginal SOC upgrade not making up the difference, and add to that a $200 price hike. While there were other upgrades included like an improved display, it’s a hard pill to swallow to hit performance issues on tasks the M1 Air could handle on a more expensive machine. It’s by no means a bad computer, but the initial pricing was… questionable. Honestly, I think there would have been a lot less fuss if it were originally priced at $1100 or $1150. Still less overall performance in *some* cases for a higher price, but $100-150 more is a much easier pill to swallow with the added value of the better display and processor. $200 more would have been fine with dual NAND chips. $250 more though, even with dual NAND, probably would have landed Apple with bad press. Apple always prices new designs higher, but that took a gamble releasing a single NAND chip model. The base model M1 Air is hard to compete with, even for Apple themselves.

It did slow down a bit after about 2 straight hours of editing but that was a non issue for me. Plus the battery life has been great! I'm sure you saw that Apple just announced Final Cut Pro for iPads using M1 and up.

Agree, I just bought the base model M2 Air in midnight to use for presentation and as a general laptop. My M1 Mini with 16 GB and 512 GB is still just fine for my video editing needs. I don't need more than 1080P and if I did I would get a studio. I was going to buy an M Air but the M2 Air base model from the Mac refurb store here in Australia was only a bit more than the older model. I do use it for Zoom so the 1080p camera was worth the extra I paid for it. And the full size Function keys are better. So I'm happy. Besides the midnight version is just the best looking computer I've ever owned and my first one ran DOS 1.1. I am immediately ordering a sleeve. Good tip!

Thank you Patrick, as always! I got the M2 Air base right after your first review of it.

Thank you for pointing out that the air doesn’t have a 120hz display, I didn’t realize that and honestly that kinda decides for me.

My 4090 desktop, Asus G15 3070, IPad Pro 12.9, and IPhone 14 Pro Max kinda covers the bases. If they made a Pro in Midnight I’d definitely consider it!

I’m confused in which purchase to make and if it’s really needed. Apple fan here. I have iPad Pro 11 inch but would love to have the 12.9 inch. I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch 2015 which is running nice but not supported, it’s used for work emails and browsing with external monitor. Now I’m thinking of getting MacBook Air m1 13inch to get back to learning to code which I used to do on my iPad but feels limited. Apple keeps releasing new things and upgrading is hectic. (Not to forget the ultra watch!). Do I need to upgrade anything honestly….? (Thought of the air for light weight and macOS with good battery life although I hate macos and love iPadOS) wondering if coding is okay for now on iPadOS. Also I noticed you prefer the air over iPad?

I don't know if you will find this post fast enough bc I have 1week and 3 days to return It, but here it goes. I have a MacBook Air m2 13inch with 8gb/512gb and all Im going to do with this Mac is watch movies, anime, read books and the max tabs that I'll have open is about 5, but on a daily basis is about 2 ( KZread, crunchy roll ). I do have my iPhone 14 pro if I want to edit videos. but can this configuration handle some light video editing like 1080p 3min long or should I get the 16gb/1tb model ?

At the Apple Store, the employee said the 512gb ssd has faster performance than the lower or even higher counterparts. So he suggested getting that and using external storage. And if it performs faster would be better for swap too

@MikeFuryTech

It is faster as it uses two SSDs essentially set to Raid0. The external storage is a very workable idea. One thing I've noticed with the Apple Silicon machines when compared to Intel is that they seem to swap far less.

What bag are you putting the laptop in @2min 27sec?

I get that memory doesnt really work of inbetween numbers but if the base model came with around 10/12 gb of ram. I feel that would be the perfect amount for entry level needs. Video editing and coding or photo edits will always need more. But running youtube and watching movies and several safari tabs open shouldnt need to stress out avg consumers and make them panic upgrade into 16/24 gb of ram. Now 256gb of storage is a slap in the face and really needs to change, but external drives are a thing and very accessible to avg consumers for much cheaper than upgrading it internally via apple. And while the speed trade offs are big, an avg consumer wouldnt notice and arent editing off external drives in the first place. The m2 air is really perfect for what it’s supposed to be. Just the ram is a bit too low and storage in 2023 really ought to be more. While this could easily be fixed if apple just made 16gb ram and 512 storage default, i feel that itd be too good and no one would really upgrade higher. So i get it 😅😂
