NEW MacBook Air M2 – Unboxing & FIRST Impressions!



Woohoo, I managed to grab the new Air M2 MacBook (Midnight) first thing on launch day! Unbox this with me, see what my first impressions are and I run a Blackmagic speed test on the SSD and display refresh test. I think you’ll be surprised – there’s some pros and cons, but I LOVE the midnight colorway. Stay tuned for the full review!

    Fan of this colorway, but also not sure about the cable color. The gold M1 is a fingerprint magnet but can be easily wiped out with an ultra thin microfiber so I wouldn't be bothered by Midnight. It's not like I'm parading it the whole day, haha.

    “Ultra thin” Thanks for great video

    I'm so disappointed with Apple. I was getting my hands on the 256/8gb configuration but I didn't buy it. I'm going to wait for the reviews first. I want to know how slow it gets under moderate workload
    (8 to 10 Chrome tabs open with a few PDF books, stored on the laptop, open and Word, Excel and PowerPoint open or
    8 to 10 chrome tabs open, with Netflix and YouTube open).
    I know it's not going to be as good as the M1 MacBook Air but I'm in love with M2 Macbook Air's looks.

    Love your reviews and perspective just because theyre so much more relatable and chill than the big channels super thin

    Looking online I was super skeptical about the midnight colorway but it looks beautiful here. Thanks so much for sharing all your insights, it really helps in the decision making process!

    This just can't replace your M1 pro, which is an amazing machine.

    Nice video. Finally someone who has the 256/8gb configuration.
    You have a lot of work to do. Start comparing it to other laptops. Is the 256/8gb really a deal-breaker for moderate intensity users?
    Compare it to the Dell XPS 13 plus 1240p.
    If it's faster than the 1240p chip under stress, then it is definitely not a deal breaker.

    What Apple Store did you buy ur because I’m stores around me don’t have them Available until August 15

    you jumped the gun and purchased the base version 🙂 ..should have waited and got a slightly more speced out version with 16GB RAM and at least 512gb SSD..I can understand the urge to get one though..I was almost tempted too, just for that sick Midnight color..but just like you I own a MacBook Pro 14 and will wait out to see if I really need this…its a great option for travel..especially if you also carry your iPad with you at all times..the weight reduction is really nice..I may also end up getting this in the future…but it will be hard to let go of the 14 Pro…

    1st base model review! this is what we are waiting for

  11. jus

    Nice!! Congrats and great review!!
    I am still waiting on my order but tried in Vic to get one on click and collect still waiting. Cannot wait

  12. Martin Georgiev

    yes, the color is really nice but it's an insane fingerprint magnet apparently.

  13. Hii5 Buddies

    Does 256gb make any difference between 512 Gg if I’m using it for web browsing or simple tasking?
    Well I’m a student so 1 nand chip will be enough?

  14. m4crolide

    OK DARK MODE WINS. Midnight colorway 100%.

  15. Jasper

    9:50 Wow jeez… half the speed of my M1, what is going on Apple?!?

  16. Jay Palmer

    Colour looks amazing in your video, best i've seen it on camera. I've ordered the midnight too, while fingerprints can be annoying, it amazes me how many people who think they're permanent and are put off by the colour by something that is simply wiped off.

  17. Utrend

    Super cool
    I like it and love to have for my programming but money is the barrier 😪

  18. talusaustere

    Probably one of the very first non-embargo organic videos of the MacBook Air M2, well done 👏

  19. carson

    Nice one man you got it so fast! was it a press laptop? Great video but a big bummer with the speed test. super thin.
