I like how during the Event and on the new Air's page, they show it running Final Cut Pro (even if it's in the simplified version of the interface)...
Obviously, Apple must've realized how the M1 MacBook Air runs Final Cut Pro very well, especially when configured with the 8-core graphics and 16 GB of unified memory. After all, I use it a lot on MY M1 Air...
Though I will admit, when using FCP at home I often like to hook my Air up to my CalDigit TS3-Plus dock and run it in clamshell/desktop mode and work with a larger display. But for other instances (like when I'm on the go), I find 1440x900 to be adequate.
And I suspect that like the M1 Air did, the M2 Air is going to attract a LOT of prosumer video editors (that rarely go higher than 1080p, at least) that don't mind a smaller screen and would appreciate the excellent processing power and speed and the more affordable price point. (Of course, one reason I opted for the M1 Air is because I needed a replacement for my late 2009 polycarbonate MacBook to use as my main laptop, and to have a machine that can easily run the latest Mac OS versions, but I also went with the 8-core graphics, 16 GB of unified memory and 512 GB storage because I figured I'd do a lot of digital media work on it, as I currently am.)
Plus, I can also run Adobe Premiere Pro and Cyberlink PowerDirector on the M1 Air very well (though for the time, PowerDirector still requires Rosetta 2).
