Probably the best video yet on the difference SSD vs RAM makes in M2 laptops. Yes tests are done on the “Pro” but results can be extrapolated to the Air. Informative and thorough without any of the manufactured outrage.
Got a tip for us?

Could have but this goes directly to the question of SSD speed, and/or the importance of RAM when making a buying decision.
Thanks for posting that. Not terribly surprising, but it's good to see someone do the direct comparison with an approachable presentation style to boot.
I do wish someone would test these with something other than media exports-- a large project Xcode compile, for example. I expect it would still favor RAM over SSD speed, but it would be good to see it done.
