watching from my 13 in M2 air two years later and it's still going strong
@rolandoiceful Says:
Amazing how 2-3 years later, that $1700 laptop config is now in the base $1300 price 😁
@Ltotheleft Says:
got a 15 inch m2 macbook air base model yesterday for 325 usd. 22 charge cycles, 100% battery health. 0 wear on keyboard, and honestly is the best purchase ive ever made. sure the macbook neo is out but my air has a much bigger screen with much better speakers, longer battery life, better ports, and a much better screen in terms of color gamut. this will be my secondary machine because my main machine is a 16 inch m1 max mbp and because its applecare has run out, im scared of taking it everywhere I go because 1 small mistake may cost me hundreds of dollars, where as this machine I would still feel the pain, but definitely reduces that fear by a significant margin
@yoh-oe6nb Says:
Love the intro, this guy is something else in terms of setting up his videos
@JustCynical Says:
still got this one and the M2pro 14 inch, 15inch is just perfect.
@srijansahu8081 Says:
Daaammm!!!
@MzDeAndraJhene Says:
I just bought this as a backup for my 2019 MacBook Pro 16” because the keyboard and mouse are not working, so it’s getting repaired. I think my Air will be what I use for work and travel, and my Pro for everything else.
@schalachi Says:
My first MacBook was the last gen Intel MacBook air and it trash IMO and would run very hot and was way to small for me. I sold it and bought the 2019 MacBook Pro 16 and it's been a very usable up to today MAY 2025. I reckon it would be good for another 3 years. Basic school use.
@Menma2000 Says:
Mr. Marques is this Air m2 15" is still worth it in 2025?
@WesternPhrog Says:
Just bought one with 16gb of ram and 512gb of storage for $175 lol. The only thing wrong with it is that it wont recognize the hinge as open, but that's solved with the Amphetamine app which never lets it go to sleep, even when the lids closed.

If you're visually impaired, bigger screens help
@techmaster4913 Says:
I don’t like the MacBook Air 15 inchs tbh, they are too expensive for its specs and the MacBook Pro 14 M4 is now 100 dollars more for the same 512gb and 16 gb of ram, u can also find the previous M3 MacBook Pro for cheaper than 15 inch air and 100 dollars more than 13 inch m3 air with more ssd storage
@otdosa Says:
1:14 amen to that.
@kokonk4151 Says:
Amazing love m2 15 …go 5 6 year
@laricewilcox5344 Says:
Converts would maybe like a right hand number cluster in the 15" 🤷🏽♀️
@wadut7261 Says:
The fact that it took Apple one and half decades to simply release a bigger Mac Book Air is absolutely mind boggling. Sometimes I don't understand how Apple is as profitable as they are with their sluggishness.
@KitLaughlin Says:
I sold a 16" 2019 MBP (Intel chip) for one of these, and as a pro. Final Cut Pro X user, I really don't see any difference editing. I have cut multiple streams of 4K video (I do use an external SSD to hold media, so that helps) and Compressor might run a bit slower. But overall, the 15" MBA, being quite a bit lighter, and the M2 chip overall faster than an optioned up Intel-based 16" MBP, I am happy with this replacement. These are an excellent choice, I feel.
@shoto42 Says:
I went out and bought a M2 14in Macbook Air over the 15in, It was honestly just a no brainer for me given the price difference between the two. It also fits in my backpack for school a lot easier, and If I want a big screen then I just go over to my pc for certain things. This purely a machine meant to get work done, while also having a decent screen for things like youtube, tv, etc.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that I've used a base model Ipad for years that I honestly see 14 inches as a lot of screen space for things.

Is it a good laptop for djing?
If not, which one is?

You live in Kearny?
@jspunk5199 Says:
Are we talking about MacBooks or are we talking Cars? You have a Tesla.. cool story.😒
@fortifiedtommy Says:
3:09 the notch cutout for face id- wait, i mean touch id
apple if you are watching this…
@fortifiedtommy Says:
nahh the intro was crazy 💀
@TrashedR3putation Says:
base model should have 16gb ram and 512gb storage. I mean c'mon. I wanted to buy this but as Marques pointed out - adding these as extras brings the price to $1600 plus taxes its a little over $1700. That's absolutely insane.
@DustyKing Says:
Better than LeBum
@GRD1399 Says:
Who’s rewatching for the infamous quote
@eddievalentin6678 Says:
Is the MacBook Airs equivalent to iPhone SE phones or Mac minis?
@SeitoTaguchiT Says:
More than like notchbook air
@TheStallion1319 Says:
8 gb ram is deliberately under-powering it for marketing it at lower price knowing that it’s not enough and unjustified at this price
@VictoriasUniverse Says:
Very helpful, informative videos that I love watching just for the heck of it sometimes 😂👏🏾🩶
@N-C0G-NIT0 Says:
Ive been using my Mac air mid 2012 for 12 years! Yes, you read that correctly and it's not a typo....12 YEARS! I paid $1200 bucks for it back in 2012. Today, I am buying this 15 inch m2 16gb 1tb machine for $1499. Can't wait!
@lunarcontact Says:
Thanks! Ordered, hope i like ❤it
@sriharshacv7760 Says:
For me, the deal-breaker is not having usb c plus power on both sides. That would be the only thing that would convince me to upgrade.
@GearWave Says:
Thanks for sharing. Can the MacBook Air be charged via the two USB-C's as well as the mag safe ?
@Faisal0204 Says:
Bro the intro was fire o
@TerranViceGrip Says:
Until they fix the keyboard and trackpad, cant ever justify a macbook as nice it would be to have one again.
@trebor1745 Says:
14" MBA?
@doannhatnam808 Says:
does promotion matter?l I got iPad pro with promotion and this is the biggest question for my choice between mbp14 m1 and mba15
@0scarGuevara Says:
i edit around 2 4K YT videos a week. Would it make sense to get this laptop?
@djchachas6678 Says:
You talked about gaming and video but what about music production as a whole?
@Tonyisgaming Says:
These are now available refurbished for as low as $950 online. I feel like that would be the best option versus the M3 that just came out because the refurb models usually have upgraded RAM or Storage.
@Denmark873 Says:
I have one of these just unstoppable btw like very heavy tasks it gets a lil laggier after some time
@BaseCatagain Says:
im watching this video on the same macbook lol
@red5-ww Says:
Anyone who uses this, does it run hot when you go slightly heavier on tasks? I don’t mean 3d rendering, movie production… but how does the thing being fanless affect its heat? (Like idk… eg managing a very fancy keynote presentation?)
@user-pb4kr9fc9b Says:
y
@lily_floweryy Says:
you are kinda smart xD
@Holden_McHock Says:
"It's built on the same platform as the 14 inch macbook air" lol what?
@kevinparker48 Says:
Terrible refresh rate, no microSD and well there isn't a USB-C on the right side. Most people are willing to pay for a pro thin and light, but Apple failed to deliver on it.
@deutschhhhh6922 Says:
I didn't know Apple sold a 14" Macbook Air
@masterchefna1 Says:
Hi everyone, I had a very great deal on M1 Macbook air m1 with 16gb ram/512gb storage at the price of 1050 USD, used but in excellent condition. Should I decide to go with the m1 or an update 16gb ram m2, 256g storage m2 at the price of 1375 USD. Which one is better?
