Yeah, I felt a bit miffed I bought the M1 late last year and then they bring out the M2 and go back to MagSafe which I would have preferred! - for my use case though I don't think I would notice the speed at the moment but as with any OS, I find it needs more power over time after the updates so I may find I want an upgrade sooner. Saying that I only changed from my 2014 i5 4th gen Air to this and it is a vast improvement, I was even surprised the speakers were even better which partly sold it for me on the old mac even though I've always used windows previously, though I am using a windows pc to type this!
2024 and I just got the M1.
is it good?
@@humbertoo yes it actually is. Memory swap happens but doesn’t affect anything . As an everyday computer,it’s enough. I gave it to my wife .
If we buy m1 in 2024. Battery will be good? Since its been 4 years manufactured
i purchased a midnight m2 air with bumped-up RAM and HD drive space. my previous laptop was a macbook pro 13" late-2013 model. i feel pretty comfortable saying i detect an improvement in performance between the 2013 and 2022 laptops. :)
Currently on an M1 and I am looking forward to using it for a long time.
How’s it now? worth the price?
The M2 air was launched to not look bad vs the XPS 13 and new 12 gen laptops, which BTW are more expensive!
I wa thinking of getting the m1 used because im only gonna use it for writing and web browsing but also facetime. So if the camera is not very good on the m1 i might have to go for the m2 just because of that😮
I know this video was a year ago, but the M1 still would've been a 3 year old computer. Fast forward to end of 2023 and it's nearing 4 years. My last computer i had for 11 years had an IOS that was no longer supported after 6 years. 4 is too close to 6.
What would they say about the M3 machines now?
Was it the base model m2 ?
One word, ergonomics. I just ordered the m2 and the slightly smaller bezels, weight all around style is why I chose it tbh over the M1.
the display quality is better in m2 so feels more complete
The M1 MBA's innovation was a huge increase in cool-running processor power, but no significant quality of life improvements compared to the Intel MBA that preceded it.
The M2 MBA's innovations are all about quality of life improvements--brighter, better, slightly larger display; smaller bezels; MagSafe; better headphone jack--and not about increases in processor performance that people will notice in everyday use.
The M1 is still an incredible and easily recommendable machine, two years later. College students can get one for $899 and it will serve them extremely well. And most other folks who don't want to spend the extra $200 for the M2 MBA.
Thanks for the comparison.
TBH, only the SLIGHTLY BIGGER (by 0.3 inch) SCREEN of the M2 is what makes me wanna choose it (though I'm not really sure of its significance over the slightly smaller m1 in real world scenarios). 😅
I don't really mind the
slightly better chip (arguably),
slightly brighter screen,
slightly better camera,
slightly thinner bezels,
slightly wider touchpad,
slightly better speakers (arguably)
magsafe,
and full-sized function keys.
IF ONLY the M1 and M2 both have the same screen size, then I would easily go with the older, cheaper one, the M1. 😔
APPLE knows how to play the game. 😂
Good Video! Quite entertaining.
As an owner of a 2011 Air Mac that was on its way to the graveyard ~ The decision was easy for me to make ~ 2022 ~ But I just want to say that would you fault Toyota or any other car maker for upgrading their cars every year ~ I don't think so ~ I just wanted to not be left behind in the Software update war ~ If I was the owner of a 2020 Air I wouldn't upgrade ~ Your doing just fine ~ Thank you for your review ~
Amazing video!!! More like this please😂
I wonder if testing the laptops in clamshell mode, on top of each other, in a small box may have skewed your results.
This was a slanted compatison. Aside from distinct advantages to M2 (eg video work 27% faster), that's not the point. It's a resdesigned unit, a body with different and upgraded ports and parts, so pretending that the machines are identical except for the chip is a disservice. You spent 15 seconds mentioning "other improvements" to the new machine, which is laughable. WP videos need to be better than this. No one expects a Verge level of video quality but you are expected to do better reporting.
it definitely was a little bit biased.
Totally not biased. Blind taste test and dude got one wrong the other times he guess correct. The point is to show you how marketing works. Atleast apples marketing. 18% isn’t really noticeable. It’s like an audiophile arguing the perks of analog vs digital but to the average consumer can you really tell the difference between gold plated versus copper shielded?? Nope. Just get what you can afford
@@Blacksonaudio No, it was a stupid comparison for a number of reasons. First, it's not news that a simple chip upgrade means little for typical websurfing etc, but this video acts like it could be. Second, the video pretends (aside from a quick couple of seconds towards the end) that the machines are otherwise identical - they're not, and the new machine is an overhaul with better video, more ports, better life and more - ALL IGNORED. Thus it's a useless slanted review.
@@qwe1231 again. Blind test (average Joe Schmo) could not, would not be able to tell the difference that 18% makes. So if a mag safe port and a new chassis isn’t up you’re alley you’re not losing much. Hell, I’ve had two Genius Bar employees tell me that. It’s a refresh. That’s it. Minor “upgrades”…
@@Blacksonaudio No, the video pretended that there was no difference, but there are major usability difference for transcoding, video chat, usability if you need more ports. Merely comparing speed in a simplistic, facile fashion (while eliding other real improvements) does a disservice. WP should do better.
what about zoom meetings 😅
I got me m1 in 2020, from 2008 MacBook 💻😝
A “very large brain”?? OoooooKay!!
The macbookair M2 chip conducts heat better in terms of the Heatsink and it's probably gonna last longer because it has less moving parts, also quieter if you are one that likes that kinda thing, processor speed Is definitely better if ur into Autocad, packet tracer, coding that sort of thing and there is the form factor...but the fact still is you can do what you can do on the previous on the latter so your choice
Good Ad for Apple to finishing the stock of M1 Airs.
XD
that notch looks horrible
They took it off the iPhone lol. Put it on the MacBook.
disagree. i honestly kind of like the look of it, it gives it 'personality'. but the larger point is i'll happily accept a notch if it means thinner bezels any day
…oh ladies
Comparing trash to garbage?
Shut up , how are they trash ?
@@sahtarwars8386 Poor Gaming.
A Lack of Ports. ...
Webcam Quality. ...
Limited Storage Options. ...
Limited Hardware Upgrades. ...
Apple Silicon Macs Can't Run Windows. ...
Software Support. ...
Price. MacBooks have amazing features, but as with most Apple products, they can be overpriced. ...
and, all the "cool features" are generally done better on other devices. Face facts. You're being fleeced just because you NEED that shiny apple on the back. Sucker.
@@jjeshop Anything could be but mac isn't overpriced.
It's not made for gaming
Yeah lack of ports are a downside
It has a very good webcam actually lol
Limited storage options ? Haha
Apple supports a mac till 7-8 years so idk what you talking about
These aren't dealbreakers
@@jjeshop I am a hardcore windows user , I just use macbook for casual purposes , facts are facts. Apple is a king in basics...like battery , trackpad , keyboard , build , software etc.
Half the things you listed aren't even true lmao
bullshit review ever 😂
Doing commercials for Apple now?
You guys act like silly girls
can you guys start being better again? go back to your roots. this company is garbage and shouldn’t be anything related to news. you’ve all turned gay and im proud this country will fall on top of you with everyone else.
😂 right
