    Never ever sell the 14 MacBook Pro :). If there was ever a perfect laptop..the 14 Pro is it…If it were not for that Midnight color..I am a sure you wouldnt be even be looking at that M2 MacBook Air…just wait it out a bit more and the novelty of that new color will pass…

  3. Dandiccf

    Best review of the M2 Air in the sense of getting a real feel of the pros and cons, and I have seen all of them.
    Short, unobtrusive, unbiased, informative und very well presented. Thx

    So, I’m a high school student entering senior year, I’m obv going to college soon and I want to get a Mac that will last me years to come, I don’t plan on gaming, but I like video editing, like you’ll catch me making little iMovie videos for fun sometimes, so, which of these models should I get?

  5. Tyler Dimaano

    Should I wait for the M2 MacBook Pro if I want the extra ports?

  6. Barak Sinai

    Great video!
    Question: Is it possible to get all the functions in Windows's excel software version on Apple computers, MacOS system, is it suitable for heavy users of Excel in the fields of economics, accounting and statistics?

  7. Barak Sinai

    I do not understand what justification for the defect they did in favor of the camera ?! If there was a great camera or something else I would understand. Just stuck in the eye, ugly and robs a screen area.

  8. Lone Wolf

    Why do you prefer black keyboard tray instead of color matched one on Air?

  9. HD_POWER

    I'm going with M2 Air because I'm new to Mac and not need more performance.

  10. Ezza

    If Apple made a MacBook Air with XDR Display and Promotion… then it would be the perfect MacBook for me.

  11. Boris F

    It is kind of funny when people mention color matched power cord as something amazing for a laptop that cost north of $1200 and does not support 2 external monitors. I am yet to find a business case for this laptop given that one could buy 2-3 Chromebooks (for the price of one Mac book) and put on it a Linux distro. For productivity is much more sensible to buy a Mac Studio. Is it me or do people act more and more as if price/reward does not matter?

  12. Alone

    If m1 is faster then m2 what is the purpose of m2

  13. Jeremy

    great video! One comment on how you say the numbers. 1.14 would be said "one point one four", not "one point fourteen". The reason for this is the way you say it, makes 1.14 sound larger than 1.2. Cheers

  14. AmorEnLaPlaya

    Everyone knows that the base model of the MacBook Air m2 256GB ssd is twice slower. So why compare this bs with the MBP 14 inch m1?!?!?!

    You have to wait and compare the upgraded Mac book air m2 with 512GB ssd with the MacBook Pro 14 inch m1

  15. Musthus

    13:03 Not to mention you can find a m1pro base model for $1800 on sale quite often, no deals with mba however

  16. AmorEnLaPlaya

    Bro, the comparison should be with the MBA 512GB + SSD. Not this bs. Wasting our time lol

  17. nadiakuye

    I just wanna know which will be best for playing the sims and doing school work

  18. Jigger Jones

    Just a key point here: You compared the base M2 MB model to the base M1-pro MB-Pro model, which doesn't make sense. I think 16 GB ram, 512 SSD, 10 core GPU M2 MB Air would be a better comparison because it has closer specs to the base M1-pro MB-Pro model.

  19. Earnist Se

    The 14 inch pro absolutely crushes the air in performance because of its proper heatsink / fan and 14 core gpu

  20. Jigger Jones

    YESSS! This is the video I was looking for. Thank you so much for making this video. This is probably the most important video since Amazon is offering the 14 inch MB Pro-base for just $1799, which is close to the spec'd up M2 MB Air.

  21. David Hacker

    Because off the monitor there was no way around the 14" MBP for me. Great video!

  22. Alex Flavitsky

    Hello! Thanx for your work!
    But you haven’t mentioned specs of machines you have been comparing.
    Anyway m2 throttling and over 100 degrees is a point of not choosing MacBook air👀

  23. Galaxy機長

    I don't know if this Air is 256SSD or 512SSD (Because of speed of the SSD
    I like the size of Air, but I need the performance of 14 at least

  24. Douglas Tsang

    Apple is so good at pricing at their MacBooks that after checking out and specing up the M2 MacBook Airs, I eventually decided to own a 14 inch Pros

  25. Sergei Veremenko

    I canceled my order on new MBA and buy MBP 14, that better deal I think, you’ll get more benefits

  26. spaceeey

    I'm a developer and I got 16/512 Macbook Air M2 since I travel a lot also. It is lighter and will do the job. 👌

  27. Cris Prieto

    Thanks man! This helped me a lot! Love your videos!

  28. THANK YOU
    best review BY FAR
    perfect comparisons
    Thank you for also including gaming!

  29. TNG

    As a student in computer science with a concentration in web and app development I’m wondering if I should get the MacBook Air with 16 gb or 24 gb of ram, or just get a MacBook Pro 14? I’m looking for a new computer, and I would appreciate the advice! Love the videos! Big fan!!! Thank you!

  30. Satish Selvam

    Will using m2 air have better battery life for normal browsing (light tasks) compared to m1 pro MacBook?

  31. Brad Gawronski

    Thank you! I couldn’t find a comparison between these two machines which I think a lot of people thinking of buying an Air are considering. Great video!

  32. Alex M

    I think those performance comparisons are mostly useless because of the single NAND chip issue on the M2 Air.

  33. Finally, thank you!!! Was waiting with outmost patience for someone to make this comparison. You are right $300 more for the MBP14 is not much of a difference after all.

  34. Matt Adams

    you can get the MacBook Pro at Best Buy for $1799, seems like a no brainer at that point.

  35. Ryan Bentley

    When you were doing the tests was it on battery or when it was plugged in? I thought I saw somewhere that the air throttles performance when on battery while the pro isn’t. But maybe I’m mistaken.

  36. Brian Carter

    Dude handing up the laptop from below??? Cmon man, bush league

  37. IT

    Hi, great video. Which one would you say is better for parallel/windows which is required because I need to use windows software. Thank you in advance.

  38. vlix gax

    What is doing a person under the table? 🤣

    Re: M2 Macbook Air – I think that it is the concept as the iPad Pro 12.9 inches and running the macOS.
