Great video as usual Andres! Keep it up 👍🏼. It’s weird that you uploaded this video since I had helped someone recently who was deciding between the MacBook Pro and M2 Air. They ended up deciding on the M2 Air.

very realistic and excellent video. I was undecided about this and this video was very helpful, thank you

I have a MacBook Air M2 base model and I'm totally fine with it. In graphic design I don't see any lags

Did get the M2 Pro 16GB, 1TB for my channel and love it. Do not mind the size, normally i edit at home, and also when i take it with me it is not too much to handle. Good comparison, I think the average consumer is well suited with the Base M2 Air. Happy Sunday and cheers from Germany.

Love your videos Andreas. Hard to get enough but a question for you - How do you utilize so many of your computers including macbooks and mac mini and studio?

Honestly this could all be summarized by 1. What do you prioritize? A lot of people will think they need the mac book pro because its the top line, but they'll probably only use it for web browsing. A good amount of people will think they could get away with getting the air because of the lower price point but their workload would require more processing/graphical power

is it just the video edits, or do your displays look matte warm?. i love them

Thank you very much for your review🙌 I've watched more than 50, and you are the only person who finally demonstrates the temperatures of the MacBook Air M2 during realistic productivity use. This was the doubt I had, and no video clarified it; they all perform the same stupid benchmark tests and processes that nobody would actually do with an MBA M2. So, what's the use of knowing those temperatures if it's not for what you're going to use the computer for? Again, thank you very much for your video; you cleared up this simple doubt that, at the same time, no one had addressed

Wow definitely M2 Air is pretty enough

I have noticed the trackpad difference between the MacBook Pro and Air. The Pro's has a deeper sound when it's clicked compared to the Air. Not that the Air trackpad isn't good, but I have noticed it.

I think the argument against the M2 Air is that if you don't need excessive power/speed for everyday browsing and emails, why not go for the M1 Air which is an even better value and is still more than powerful enough for those same everyday tasks. I would also argue that the M1 Air design language feels slimmer and lighter with the tapered edges although on paper I think it may weigh more than the M2 Air.

the wallpaper of your laptops could upload it only to download it, I live in Cuba and I can't pay for the background, greetings and great video

I had a 2011 Macbook Pro 13inch. Died on me in 2020. Then went to a Intel Silicon MBA 16gb of RAM. Last year I really got into photography and for a typical 100 photo edit on lightroom it would take me 6 hours to move through the workspace and get the final edits I wanted. Thermal throttled like crazy. I just bought a 2023 M2 MBP 16inch with 96GB of RAM. It is SEAMLESS. Workflows drastically streamlined - and even at full tilt the fans remain off and max RAM use so far was 40GB during a 100x 40MP photo export. I love the larger size.....easier to hold and control during movement and the larger screen and more robust chassis is a major plus. Sure - 96GB of ram might be overkill but who knows if by the end of the year I'll be editing 4k/8k videos as my passion increases.

Super vid ❤. Between these two I’d go for the Air. The 14” Pro is just not worth the bucks for me. I would much rather get the 16” for the pro features. The 14” is just there to fill in Apple’s price ladder, IMO. Just did a vid about this very thing. Cheers!

If you move around with your laptop a lot because of work and don’t want extra accessories, 2TB might be worth it. But, storage upgrades at Apple are expensive. It is better to buy a portable SSD drive from Sandisk or Samsung under $150 for 2TB. And, if you don’t move around a lot, don’t want extra accessories, but have a lot of money, maybe, you can invest in a NAS.

I'm an arch student so I have a windows laptop that now stays on my desk adn I use it for modelling and rendering, but the Air for everything else. it is such a nice computer. Music production, photo editing, writing, what not. Also the portability is the most important thing for me tbh. The Windows lapotp I have was so cumbersome so deal with and travel before I got the Air

I'd go for the M2 if, for no other reason, you'll get a longer lifetime out of it due to longer software support cycles. That being said, both machines have at least 5 years of full software support left (Apple typically phases machines out about five years after they were last sold new), so either will last a decent amount of time.

Hello everyone. I have the very base level macbook pro 13’. I was thinking about upgrading because my model is very slow. I only have a few applications on my computer, and i don’t keep files on my computer, I have a little bit of OCD so i make sure my macbook has as much storage as possible, but unfortunately it still runs slow. I’m a Computer Science student, with a very very heavy workload on a day to day basis, and i am in the digital media space as well (photography & videography). I was thinking about getting the M2 14’ with 12 core cpu, 19 gpu and 16 gigs of memory. I know for a fact that this computer will last me, plus it has HDMI for my monitor, instead of having to plug in extra devices from amazon, it has an SD port which is self explanatory, and this thing looks and feels great. I was going to buy it in the next month, but i’m open to any suggestions if you guys have them. thanks!

Nice video! I just ordered a MBP 14 base model with 32Gb of RAM (with 512Gb of SSD). I think this will hold pretty well for at least 5 years. Too bad Apple does not offer the the MBP in Midnight blue. I then ordered it in Space Gray instead.

Very good video. I'm (by any definition) a power-user. Most of my Mac use revolves around Xcode, Visual Studio or Video-editing. I also make heavy use of Virtual Machines via VMware and Parallels. (and a lot of saving of family photos). My current work laptop is a top of the line 2019 MBP Core i9 with 32GB RAM. This was an expensive machine and is only a few years old. I recently purchased my wife an M2 Air with 16GB RAM and 512GB HDD. I took the opportunity to play with it. Nearly every single thing I do on my work laptop I can do on her M2 Air, and do much faster. (Even without the dedicated GPU that I have now). Do I want to upgrade mine to an M2 Pro or M2 Pro (Max)?? (Especially for the ability to run both of my Studio Displays?). Yes. Do I need to? No! The M2 Air would still be an upgrade for nearly all of my workflow. Is it the fastest available now? No. Is it faster than what I have at a far smaller cost than a new M2 Pro or Pro (Max). Heck to the yeah! A bigger surprise is that my 32GB Intel MBP machine routinely uses the swap file. With the same work, I've NEVER hit it on her M2 Air. Memory compression magic? I have NO idea, but it works, and it works fast. (That's even with a Windows VM running). The only thing I'd change on my wife's M2 Air if I were to use it is that I'd get 1TB internal storage. I wouldn't get the 24GB memory option because that gets me too close to the 32GB model of the M2 MacBook Pro. I'm still not sure what I'll end up getting. I can afford either, but the M2 Air is certainly a viable option now. (and it's very nice to carry around being as lite as it is).

The display is the deal-breaker for me, considering pro vs air. After using 120 hz display in the phone, 60 hz display in the air doesn't look smooth. You cannot read while scrolling a page in 60hz display vs 120hz display. This is my only issue not to choose the air over pro.. If Air had 120hz display, that is real dealbreaker!
