13 inch more portable in terms of width and weight for a backpack imo. ALL Mac computers should come with a minimum of 16 GB internal ram entry level. The white at the end of the colored magsafe cable looks so out of place. Interesting with the new M2 chip Macbook air 13 and 15 inch still only 18 hours of battery life, but the M1 Macbook Pro gets 20 hours and is 3 years old. I would think with then newer chip and technology battery life would improve, especially the 15 inch Macbook Air.
16 inch 2021 Pro is my absolute favourite! laptop but also a desktop when it needs to be. I tried the 14 inch pro and it's a sweet size if you're using it as a laptop but can get cramped on the desk. I just hope they shift to OLEDs on these Airs in the future, then it would be a real consideration for me. That LCD is just sooo old.
Just want to give Aaron a thank you for always keeping us up to date on Apple News and including your community on your videos and keeping it honest and getting straight to the point 🙏
Battery King, Easily work 2 days or 16 hours on single charge, I charged the laptop to 100% at 10.00PM, then closed the lid without turning it off, then on next day morning at 11.00AM I started working on website development with 50% brightness [ no music etc. running in background ], then stopped for 2 hours from 4.00PM to 6.00PM again closed the lid didn't turn off, then again worked from 6.00PM to 9.00PM, and closed the lid with 55% battery left, then on next day again started work again at 11.00AM with same schedule and at 7.00PM battery was at 10% plugged the charger by the time I am done working battery was again at 100%
Great assessment Aaron, thank you! Watching on my new MacBook Air 15" (Space Gray, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD), which I received yesterday. I traded up from a MacBook Air 13" M1 (2020), which I loved, but I always regretted not having a larger screen. This new system fits my needs very well; I'm not a power user or creator, but I do like having a larger screen. I also increased memory to 16GB vs. my 8GB M1 Air, as I frequently received memory pressure notifications. I left the SSD at 256GB, as I don't need the extra internal space. This new Air feels faster. I realize that may be my imagination, as the tests don't show it is significantly different. But it feels peppy! The migration from my 13" Air did NOT go smoothly, to my great surprise -- I skipped the OS upgrade (as you did), and after all my files migrated, the System would not recognize any of my iCloud credentials. Very frustrating. I could see that OS 13.4 was already installed, but I decided the see if the new build revision cured the problem, and it did. I wondered if you had any of the same issues, as I could see at one point in your video in your System Preferences that it may have been asking you to re-validate your iCloud, as it did with me. With the updated 13.4 build, everything was validated successfully. Enjoying my new Air!
@@FactFlix3 I can’t quantify any specific performance improvements; it just feels snappier, e.g. apps opening, videos starting. I’m quite pleased so far, although I realize the big difference is simply the larger screen. I used a 15” screen when I was working/traveling. When I retired, I couldn’t afford (and didn’t need) a MacBook Pro, and until now that was the only way to get a bigger screen. So I settled for the 13” M1. Very glad to have the new 15” Air; if you like the M1 Air 2020, I think you’ll love the 15”.
Looks good! The debate within myself, is 13” for easy portability, or the fun of a new 15” to help this old lady (me - 71 years old!)? Still thinking! I have iPhones and iPads, so I am going to get a Mac next! 😊
As a long retired person with no real need for a laptop, I have been considering switching to the Air from a Pro and I have wondered what the real difference is. I’m still not fully understanding what makes one different other than size and bulkiness. Price should be less, but if I upgrade an Air to a price point of a similar Pro it seems logical to just get the more powerful machine whether it is needed or not. I’ve been getting the smaller 13” for traveling ease and using a large monitor at home. It just doesn’t seem apparent the difference in machines.
This looks like an impressive machine however you do have to be careful once you start adding more RAM and storage. For the price of the upgrades you’re approaching Pro territory which might be the better deal. But at its base configuration its absolutely worth it.
So long as the 15” Air is cheaper than the 16” MacBook Pro that won’t really matter. This machine exists to give people access to a cheaper large screen laptop running macOS that doesn’t weigh a whole lot.
I tried typing on this keyboard today and idk if it's just me but I can feel the chassis echoing as I click down. The speakers when playing music at high volume (75%) also makes the palm rest vibrate pretty noticeably. i feel like that's the only drawback for being so thin, but definitely an amazing product.
It gets very pricey if you go for 16Gb and 512Gb storage. But the base model is good value. MacOS is so well optimised so even the base model should last 6 years or more, but I’m wondering when Apple will move to 16Gb as base, as we’ve had 8Gb / 256Gb base configuration since the 12” MacBook which came in 2015. Maybe when they will need to add more AI functions?
Surely you’re doing this but after you set up one finger ID, set up a second finger on the OTHER hand. I learned this on a work laptop when I came to work with a bandaged hand and had no easy way to open my laptop. (It was a work laptop and I had to take it to our Computer folks to access the set up controls, which put a crimp in my morning plus my supervisor wasn’t thrilled.)
I just purchased my first MacBook Air. Bought a used one. Excellent condition, 2015 air with 8GB ram. Only 240 charge cycles (out of 1000) it’s super fast, battery lasts around 8 hours on regular use, it’s lightweight, beautiful screen, and I only paid $140.00. I’m still using my 256GB iPhone 8 Plus that I bought second hand this year to replace my 7 plus. I think most people buy the latest and greatest and they really have no reason outside of just having to have new all the time. Apple products are built to last. Their computers last sometimes 10 years and their iPhones can last 6-7 years typically. Really the only people that need the power of the new MacBooks are super heavy gamers and video editors.
dude, M1 is beats Intel by battery lifetime, optimisation. 140 bucks is great price for that one, but compared to m1, mb air 2015 is old device by far. Just make 1 on 1 compare and u will see gap between. I have mba 2013 and now working on mba 2020 m1
It just arrived yesterday for me. I been used iPad Pro 12.9 from 2018 and it was my favourite product what I did ever use before. I did use for everything. Loved it but I need it a computer software 'cause the iPad OS were limited some levels. This MacBook Air my first Mac and I need it to use to it. I keep touching the screen sometimes, the OS bit different. My last desktop it was windows. So I hope it was a good buy but I'm already happy 'cause this MacBook sick man. 😍
That midnight color is 🔥Congrats on purchasing the new MBA 15" 👏🏽 P.S. Gone are the days when someone types properly with the fingers resting in the correct starting position
Thanks Aaron, i was waiting for this review before purchasing. Ill be getting the base model tho cause the price in Australia compared to the US is crazy expensive! Love your videos!
What is crazy to me is that a channel that has grown to where this one has, with a reviewer who focuses primarily on Apple devices (though not exclusively), covers them well and fairly --- Aaron how are you not getting review units from Apple? I'm not sure how it works, if they would need to reach out to you or vice versa, but c'mon, channels a quarter the size of yours are getting review units. It just seems odd to me. Anyway, i'm watching your videos regardless man, and thanks for another great one.
@@zollotech Yeah, my point about size is the audience reach. I guess Apple's assuming viewers watching Zollo are watching MKBHD and Dave2D, etc., so maybe you're right about size not mattering as much. It's just, a lot of channels crap on Apple products to get clicks. This one doesn't. I just thought it's a great marketing opportunity for Apple (not b/c your view would be slanted positively but rather b/c you aren't deliberately negative) and also pretty cool for you. Anyway man, have a great night.
How do you feel about the longevity of these units? I'm hesitant to buy any of the fanless models. My 2017 macbook has absolutely fried itself to where it can't even render a youtube video anymore
I have used the fanless MacBooks and when it comes to heat, they manage really well. I can do light editing and it handled it like a champ with little heat. They are a different experience in comparison to an Intel model.
Hi brother, Can you please tell me how to upgrade ram from 8gb to 16 gb in new macbook pro m2 15 inch. Also i would like to know how much gb graphics is provided also will it be replacabale?? Ram is my main concern, in apple stores only 8gb base model is available hw can i change it to 16gb or 24gb please suggest Can i use 256gb ssd with 24 gb ram??
The base model is priced at whopping 1649€ here in Finland, but even at that price it is the best 2K res 15” ultrabook there is. To get that resolution and screen quality Windows -side means an 1900-2500€ investment.
I have the 15-inch M@ MacBook Air. I fully spec'd it out with 24 GB o RAM and 2 TB storage and had Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro pre-installed, cost me over $3,000. I do have to disagree with you about the speakers, though. I find the bass to be really rich and full the mids are what I would expect and the treble is good as well, much better than my 2006 MacBook Pro. I do agree that the midnight color is a fingerprint magnet. This thing is fast, even with Low Power mode turned on. I also noticed with the wallpaper for the MacBook Air (the Radial Blue, Green, Purple and Yellow) all say "Air". Did you notice that?
Apple has always been on the pricier side but their products are well worth it. I have a 2021 MacBook Air and I am beyond happy with it since I first bought it two years ago. It is temping to upgrade for the bigger screen size, Love seeing the specs on this one.
I have orded the same model,but I have no idea how it works,because Ive always had windows.Also,how do I share information from samsung phone to this mac
Microphone quality seems similar discounting the closeness of the professional one closer to your speaking. There does sound like a difference in bass, but that might again be the distance to microphone.
I got the extra unified as is designed for that amount of ram and got more ssd it came close to the macbook pro in price but i could only get the macbook pro with the m3 chip and i've seen a lot of videos about how the m2 chip handles music better and as is my purpose that's the option i went for. gets here in a week. finally. had to come from china on order as not standard specs and can take a while
If I get this with 16 gig of ram and 256 storage will it still run slow with only having 256 storage on board? Also if I had an external 1 Terabyte SSD would that make it run faster. My concern about getting the 256 storage is that the anual IOS updates take quite a bit of space and are getting bigger and bigger. Please advise.
I have the 13 inch one that is from 2017 that I gotten in October 2018. It came in about 5 working days as I remembered. I still have my mother’s 11 inch one but, one key doesn’t work and the battery is swollen in it. My mother over charged it or something. I had an little issue on my if I removed the cord towards my iMac Air it goes off. I always have it on charger when I’m using it. I even have a password in getting into it.
I decided on midnight, 16gb of ram and 1tb hard drive. I got the education discount, sold my old macbook, and used some gift cards and walked out with it for basically $1000 out of pocket. Should last me a good long while, my previous macbook served me well for a decade. Love this thing, it’s perfect for my needs and powerful enough for tinkering. I’m a writer who loves emulating retro games, and this thing is powerful enough to handle anything I throw at it. Currently playing some ps2 with my macbook hooked up to my CRT. Do I wish it had the pro-line screeen? Sure. But if the tradeoff is a sleek, light, beautiful fanless chassis, then it’s a small price to pay. I can use it on my bed without having to worry about it overheating, and the screen is still amazing. Ventura has some…quirks (settings app organization is nonsensical, and the complete lack of software support for dynamically moving things around the notch is very un-apple) but with some deep tweaking I’ve got it exactly how I like it. I was worried about the midnight color after seeing it look like a light dusty blue in the flourescent light of the apple store, but it looks black in the soft lighting in my apartment. Thanks for the rec, Zollo! Very happy with my new toy

Hi Aaron I hope u doing well , sir my 14pro max battery 🪫 come down 99% nd i have been using since October last year should i be worried ? Thank you sir
@Watching Videos plus people are saying they love how portable it is and how it doesn’t flex as much as this new one so I think I’m gonna go with the M1 air. I was a little bit worried about software support, but Macs usually get like 9 to 10 years of updates. 849 brand new sealed in the box on Amazon is a heck of a deal.

I wonder how much slower will 65 watt USB-C charging is for this new MacBook Air? There's a lot of 65 watt USB-C chargers from third party companies like Anker and Aukey.
I check out that alot customers return that 15 and I check apple refurbished that had about 3 dozen 15 inch all price on m2 air cause they don't like it 13 better than 15 cause battery power diffrents 15 lose 4 hrs and 13 het more strange

In my country this McBook Air is only available with 8 GB of RAM and you can choose between 256 of GB storage or 512 GB of storage. So many options in the US.

Switched from another 15” Air review to watch yours 😂
Zollo is the man! Best RUclips reviewer in my opinion. 👍🏽
Thank you!
Maybe a silly question... can you charge the MacBook using the USB-C ports instead of the MagSafe?
Or charge your iPhone or AirPods from your MacBook using the USB-C ports? I do this once in a while with my (still great) 2017 MBP.
Yes you can.
Very late comment but this is an amazing unboxing video. MacBooks are amazing.
Thank you
You’re Welcome.
Thanks for testing the keyboard!!
Apple has always been on the pricier side but their products are well worth it. I have a 2021 MacBook Air and I am beyond happy with it since I first bought it two years ago. It is temping to upgrade for the bigger screen size, Love seeing the specs on this one.
Hey bro,will we do use crack version any software in mack book,please tell me?
@@user-cl9sy2vb6u No! Cracking software is for the most part, highly illegal.
@@user-cl9sy2vb6u yes u can
I always follow your recommendation when buying a new iphone or MacBook Aaron. I am from Africa-Zambia and your biggest fan🙏
I have orded the same model,but I have no idea how it works,because Ive always had windows.Also,how do I share information from samsung phone to this mac
Love the unboxing videos!
Thank you!
Just ordered the 16gb ram, moonlight. Can’t wait for it to come
i edit 4K YT videos, around 1-2 a week, would it make sense to get this one?
Microphone quality seems similar discounting the closeness of the professional one closer to your speaking. There does sound like a difference in bass, but that might again be the distance to microphone.
I got the extra unified as is designed for that amount of ram and got more ssd it came close to the macbook pro in price but i could only get the macbook pro with the m3 chip and i've seen a lot of videos about how the m2 chip handles music better and as is my purpose that's the option i went for. gets here in a week. finally. had to come from china on order as not standard specs and can take a while
If I get this with 16 gig of ram and 256 storage will it still run slow with only having 256 storage on board?
Also if I had an external 1 Terabyte SSD would that make it run faster. My concern about getting the 256 storage is that the anual IOS updates take quite a bit of space and are getting bigger and bigger.
Please advise.
Hello MacBook will be compatible Engineering AutoCAD 2014 version software ???
Please let me know from your side
I have the 13 inch one that is from 2017 that I gotten in October 2018. It came in about 5 working days as I remembered. I still have my mother’s 11 inch one but, one key doesn’t work and the battery is swollen in it. My mother over charged it or something. I had an little issue on my if I removed the cord towards my iMac Air it goes off. I always have it on charger when I’m using it. I even have a password in getting into it.
Awesome review as always. Good to see your kind face 😊
I decided on midnight, 16gb of ram and 1tb hard drive. I got the education discount, sold my old macbook, and used some gift cards and walked out with it for basically $1000 out of pocket. Should last me a good long while, my previous macbook served me well for a decade. Love this thing, it’s perfect for my needs and powerful enough for tinkering. I’m a writer who loves emulating retro games, and this thing is powerful enough to handle anything I throw at it. Currently playing some ps2 with my macbook hooked up to my CRT. Do I wish it had the pro-line screeen? Sure. But if the tradeoff is a sleek, light, beautiful fanless chassis, then it’s a small price to pay. I can use it on my bed without having to worry about it overheating, and the screen is still amazing. Ventura has some…quirks (settings app organization is nonsensical, and the complete lack of software support for dynamically moving things around the notch is very un-apple) but with some deep tweaking I’ve got it exactly how I like it. I was worried about the midnight color after seeing it look like a light dusty blue in the flourescent light of the apple store, but it looks black in the soft lighting in my apartment. Thanks for the rec, Zollo! Very happy with my new toy
Hi brother,
Can you please tell me how to upgrade ram from 8gb to 16 gb in new macbook pro m2 15 inch.
Also i would like to know how much gb graphics is provided also will it be replacabale??
Ram is my main concern, in apple stores only 8gb base model is available hw can i change it to 16gb or 24gb please suggest
Can i use 256gb ssd with 24 gb ram??
@@vineethhari Unfortunately you can only “upgrade” by choosing more ram when you buy the laptop! You won’t be able to upgrade the ram yourself after you buy it
@@gnocchidokie but in apple stores only base models is available brother only 8gb ram
@@gnocchidokie not seen anywhere macbook pro m2 air 15 inch with 16 gb or 24 gb ram.
So the conclusion is that we can't replace any hardware once its purchased right??
Thanks a lot brother
@@vineethhari They had the one with 16gb ram and 1TB SSD in the store when I went! You can always call ahead
Can someone let me know whether 8gb is enough? (For someone who works from home)
Thank you very much!!
Excellent review. Thank you
Wow😮 very impressive MacBook I will buy it
got my 2023 macbook pro 14inch today and during setup where it ask if you want to update, i click yes and after downloading the software update, it’s stuck on installing for 8 hours for a 5.x Gb software update so i shut down manually then restart setting up. this time i skip the update and it was fine
This sounds like a good upgrade from 2020 intel air!!
Great video!
I like this royalty free song

what is that zollotech from old MacBook Air
I’m looking at getting a MacBook but not sure what to do… I was looking at the M2pro MacBook Pro but I’m scared that there is going to be an M3pro version coming later this year. What do you think.
i love your unboxing videos Aaron!! your the best! thanks so much
Thanks
In my opinion, it makes sense that the USB-C connector is white. So is the charger.
HEllo, on you presentation, is the MavBook Air is full in light on the display ? Thank's
How good is this laptop for Video Editing?
I really wish I could have that I hate the fact that my country currency is crazy low vs usd and that makes apple products crazy expensive
All I want is thissss
Hi Aaron I hope u doing well , sir my 14pro max battery 🪫 come down 99% nd i have been using since October last year should i be worried ? Thank you sir
Thank you for saying kilograms
How do you hook up a wired connection, so you do not have to run wi-fi?
I seen on the Apple Store that the MacBook Pro m1 was 999 back in April or first may that’s what it was new I don’t need a lot of power
Love this channel
Great video Aaron
Should I get this or get a 2020 MacBook Air m1 for $500 less for new on Amazon
@Watching Videos plus people are saying they love how portable it is and how it doesn’t flex as much as this new one so I think I’m gonna go with the M1 air. I was a little bit worried about software support, but Macs usually get like 9 to 10 years of updates. 849 brand new sealed in the box on Amazon is a heck of a deal.
or get a 2017 macbook 12" 16g ram you'll like it even more it has louder speakers and much lighter/portable. n much much cheaper
Waiting on the M3 one in September.
Does anyone know if this versions 256 version is still slower like how it was with the last gen
Yes, the 256gb model has a slower ssd
Beautiful and good laptop
The basic model is worth it but buying one that is close to the price territory of the Macbook Pro 16 (base specs) is pretty silly.
Hi , i have recently purchased Macbook Air M2 15 inch, Unfortunately im experiencing a issue, its not showing up my Nothing Phone 2 personal hotspot with 5Ghz band, whereas as 2.4 Ghz connection is fine, iphone personal hotspot also working fine, Can someone help me with this
I wonder how much slower will 65 watt USB-C charging is for this new MacBook Air? There's a lot of 65 watt USB-C chargers from third party companies like Anker and Aukey.
Aaron got the fully loaded Mac!! 😮😮😮😮😮
I check out that alot customers return that 15 and I check apple refurbished that had about 3 dozen 15 inch all price on m2 air cause they don't like it 13 better than 15 cause battery power diffrents 15 lose 4 hrs and 13 het more strange
Purchased it, it’s decent. 2017 super loaded MacBook Pro lasted 6 years! Trade in value $280, when bought for $4k😂🤓
Beautiful
i think th 15'' is the best
Great video. But are you saying the 14" Pro has better battery life than the Air? Doubt it...
The 16 inch MacBook Pro does
How are you recording the macbook
13 inch more portable in terms of size for a backpack and traveling imo. ALL Mac computers should come with a minimum of 16 GB internal ram entry level. The white at the end of the colored magsafe cable looks so out of place. Interesting with the new M2 chip Macbook air 13 and 15 inch still only 18 hours of battery life, but the M1 Macbook Pro gets 20 hours and is 3 years old. I would think with then newer chip and technology battery life would improve, especially the 15 inch Macbook Air.
Very helpful, thanks! I’ll probably end up getting a 13” M2 Air later this year, but this has me curious. My old personal Mac laptop (from 2013!) is a 13” and my work laptop is a 14” Mac Pro.
The best size is 15 inches for a laptop 💻 smaller than that then better you buy an iPad. I love bigger screens.
The MacBook Air is so thin and light. Can't wait to see someone rockin' out on this bad boy
Zollotech 👍
In my country this McBook Air is only available with 8 GB of RAM and you can choose between 256 of GB storage or 512 GB of storage. So many options in the US.
I'm watching this from my MacBook Air 2023 15 inch screen with 512 GB or storage. But I wanted 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.
Oh well, I guess this will do.
Late night video. 👍🏾

You can’t. It’s built into the processor. Only way is to buy a new mac
@@zollotech Hi brother thanks for your reply.
Actually i haven't seen anywhere macbook air m2 15 inch with 16gb or 24gb ram.
I mean anywhere in apple stores or electronic shops.
Is it available to but only through online??
Cool
