It is insane that choosing between two models, one older than the other, gets this difficult. If the M2 had faster SSD speeds, it would've been a very easy decision. But, in my opinion, the new design and the slightly better display make the case for the M2 Mac Air. Thanks for the review!

What's also crazy is that it's also hard to decide between the Air and the Pro. In that case, for similar reasons to you, I'd go with the M2 Air over the M2 Pro. But basically, the M1 series was a pretty solid offering, while the M2 is an incremental update, meaning totally optional, with the focus being less on the technical differences, and more on how you feel about it.

The price difference doesn't justify the additional features especially since you can find some great deals on old m1 air and on top of that it has faster ssd for base model.

Im curious to know if Apple would at some stage, hopefully soon, make use of 2 x Nand chips as in the M1 MBA.. You will have a nicer but slower laptop in the base model and it just seems like a bad choice for me.. If its the same spec as the M1, with mag safe and thin bezels and bigger screen then its a yes for me.

Personally I was looking at buying 16GB/512GB regardless of if I got an M1 or M2, for the purpose of using it for school, running a VM here and there, and just future proofing it for at least 5 years. At first I picked the M1, but if you think about it, at that configuration it’s just $200 bucks more for a lot of quality of life improvements. You avoid the infamous SSD issue by doing 512+, so I ended up going for the M2.

Like a lot of other Apple products in the past the M2 MacBook Air appeared to me as inferior in design, though in time it might prove itself better and I will ultimately accept that. Personally I like the wedge shape M1 Air better.

The M2 is such a beautiful design, but for the price I’ll be picking up an M1 - might even wait a little longer to let even more discounts hit the stores :)

Thanks for doing this comparison. After looking at the performance, I felt the 16GB / 512GB configuration would be best for my use. The price difference between identically configured M1 and M2 Airs was $250. To me, the better screen, the slimmer new design, and MagSafe were worth the extra $250. I justified it by calling it 'future-proofing'! In reality, I ordered what I wanted, not what I needed.

problem is u can be fine with a base m1 air, but a base m2 air sucks because of the slower ssd, so it forces u to get 16gb ram and 512gb ssd. this is why purely on value, the base m1 air > m2 air with 16gb 512gb as its $600 extra for something that should be $300 max.

@@truman809 after using it do think it’s really worth it for the better screen and the new design? or do you think you should’ve gotten the m1 and saved 200$ ? Because I’m thinking either I get 16 ram 512gb m1 or the same specifications on m2

@Albb just sell the old one to cover some cost. It doesn’t cost much anyway if you do that, it will account for 60 to 70% cost of the new machine.

I've been trying to answer this question of M1 vs. M2 as well. Ultimately went with the M2 (512GB SSD but didn't upgrade the 8GB RAM) as that seems to be more future proof. Great video!

8GB of ram was a blunder IMO. You can use external SSDs to accommodate for more storage, but you can’t upgrade 8GBs of ram.

Let me say it first, I love your videos. But now, I have a quick question for you: if you have both Air M1 and M2 (base models) on your desktop, which one would you grab first? Which one would you be a 'happier' experience for you? Forget performance, price, but focus on your perception. What will it be? Thanks for sharing.
