M2 MacBook Air - A Student's Perspective!

Ғылым және технология

Since the launch of the M1 chip in 2020, MacBook Air has become even more of a staple of high school and college students around the globe. M2 MacBook Pro (2022) brings this popular laptop to the next level with a completely new look and feel, alongside familiar functionality. In this video, I give you my impressions/thoughts of the laptop as a college student and creator!

    I was hoping for some typical student apps, like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, R, SPSS, Zoom and Teams. I'd love to see how the processor and battery hold up to hours long multitasking with these apps. But yet here again we get the photo and video editing tests all other KZreadrs already do. Only interesting if you belong to the 0,5% of students who actually study graphical arts.

    Depends on your budget. If you like a slightly better screen, MagSafe and a new form factor go for the m2. But the m1 has the best bang for your buck even in apple refurbished store they go low as $850 for the base model. If you’re set on the m2 perhaps you can wait for a refurbished model they might sell it for just over $1000

I have a question still - given I am editing a video in 4k, how long of a project do you think would the macbook air be able to sustain consistent speeds before the CPU or GPU throttles? (I do not plan on editing anything over 10 minutes long)

    You can edit comfortably without throttle. It can sustain continuous loads for over 5-7 mins (which is more), if given, if all CPU and GPU cores get fired up on rendering or exporting the video. Well, while editing videos, it won't throttle at all, kinda.

    I think the MacBook air m2 would be an obvious go-to if they hadn't screwed with a single nand chip in the base model. According to some reviews, while multitasking, that model sometimes underperforms the m1 base model, which is outrageous. Since I'll do some heavy coding tasks, it'll definitely have some impact.

    Apperantly it over heats as well. I’m not sure how task intensive coding is but I’m assuming it would be a lot. I ordered the 16/512 model just to run some light accounting software and use Microsoft word, excel and have 5-12 tabs open at the same time and I’m nervous about it over heating for those simple tasks.

All of this is happening at once. Is this mac(512gb storage, 8gb ram, 8core GPU) appropriate for my workflow?

    Possibly. If you utilize the cloud heavily and don’t save too many documents it should last for a bit but 512 GB will give you much more headroom. Not to mention the base storage is up to 50% slower because one 256GB NAND stick was used.

    I’m in the same dilemma. I’m leaning more towards the m1 pro 14” baseline model. The reason being is because for my use, I would like to have at least 512 gb on the computer. And that comes standard with the m1 pro, whereas it costs extra on the air. Also, a thing that increases the lifespan of a computer is the ram. When time goes on, applications become more demanding, and more ram helps the computer keep up. So in my case If I were to buy the m2 air, I would need to spend extra on the storage and ram. On the 14 m1 pro you get 16 gb ram and 512 storage right of the bat. If you apply these two on the m2 air, it becomes quite expensive, and you wouldn’t need to spend that much more to just get the m1 pro. And that’s not talking about the way better performance of the m1 pro chip vs m2, m1 pro 14” has superior display, speakers and a bunch of other things. But if there’s something I overlooked on the m2 air, that makes it a better choice, please let me know because I am still a little unsure about what model to get

    @Ibrahim Khan get the 14. yeah sure you'd have more power than you probably need if you were just using it for light purposes but down the line the extra ram would be extremely useful if you plan on using it for the long run. I went with the m1 and havent looked back. besides you have the sd card slot back also lol

After watching tons of M2 Macbook Air review, I realized 16/256 is the best decision bc you can expand your storage (external drives/cloud) but u cant expand the ram later on. Also, with 16gb ram swapping is avoided i guess. But still its up to you nd your usage.
