    Since your professional background is in sound engineering and you partner with epidemic sound, it would be awesome to hear about how you approach the sound design on a video or creative project. That would be fun to see. Great insights as always!

    I want to thank you for your honest assessment of the M2 air design language, thermals, etc. As my primary content creation is narrative, poetry, prose, and photo editing , this iteration of the air is ideal. I really enjoy your presentations. Keep up the good work young brother !

    Picked up my MacBook Air m2 in Midnight in July, as soon as was available. 1TB hard drive, 16 GB RAM. Favorite. Apple. Computer. Ever. Everything about this pushes my buttons to 10 - the design, the size, and absolutely the performance. Just can't get over having something this small and beautiful be so powerful. This will last me a decade or more, easily.

    I love my M2 MacBook Air. Just got it a couple weeks ago on a BB Open Box dea that was too good to pass upl. It ended up literally an open box (rated excellent) and hadn't been unwrapped or ever booted up. The 60 day countdown for purchasing AppleCare+ was only at 55 days left.
    Ended up getting a midnight with 512GB with 8GB of Ram and 10-core GPU. Ended up getting it for just under $1000 after tax.
    I seriously love using it.

    Hi there, CJ! After one of your videos about this MacBook around 4 months ago, I decided to go and purchase one and I've been pretty happy about it since then. I'm glad I listened to you and not to all the negative opinions of so many developers out here on RUclips. Thank you! I decided to go with the starlight one, although I just love the midnight color, but I'd go just crazy with all the smudges. Also, I went with the basic model as I'm a professor and I knew the basic model would be more than enough for me. Apple should pay you some commission! 😁 And I agree on everything you say about this MacBook Air in this video. I've been experiencing it myself and I haven't regret one single bit bought it. Your videos are very informative and a pleasure to watch! Thanks!

    it is way too expensive you pay 1500 EUR for the base model with pathetic 256 GB space and 8 GB RAM. If you get 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD you almost pay as much as the 14 inch macbook pro model and get a better display, more ports and active cooling.

    I wouldn't say it's the best laptop. Every laptop serves a different need. Since you are studying to be a sound engineer, it is the best ameture laptop for any form of digital arts (sound, video editors, photographers, and front-end web development).
    M1 MacBook Pro 14 is the best for full-time professionals in the digital arts who use their laptop on the go.

    I’d imagine someone who needs to do pro work would be good with a m2 air for on the go and a Mac mini with m2 pro chip for at home. Since you use your MacBook Pro as a desktop you may as well use an actual desktop.

    Wanted to get the macbook pro M2 13 inch but its design is just TOO outdated. I just couldnt look passed it. Same build since 2016?!? Went with the Air M2 512 and am loving it. But will go with pro if they update the design in the 23 model with M3 chip. All that doom and gloom stuff is for the birds. This machine is great and reliable.
