Does anyone prefer the design of the M1 Air to the M2?

14.9mm vs 11.5mm its a big enough difference in a mobile computer imo, but do you! If you want to keep using old intel computers do your thing.

The same "intel" design has been around as recently as the M2 Pro so no need to go back to intel!

My point was that it's not as big a difference when you consider how a lot of people hold their devices - we oftentimes hold them at the edges, which is where there's not much of a difference. Again - I have both computers right here and can compare them directly.

Bumping this ol thread

I was waiting for the Neo to launch because I was hoping it would be a follow-up to the 12” MacBook or 11” Air. Sadly, it was not. I still need a replacement for my 2018 quad core 13” pro that mainly functions as a lap-warmer.

Bit the bullet on an open-box M1 Air for $400 because it feels so much more premium to me and doesn’t dig into my wrists. I understand why many prefer the M2 and up, but for me it’s a no-brainer. Especially considering they have the same keyboard mechanism.

As an added bonus, it fits in the same Twelve South vertical stand as my Pro did!

The wedge was more futuristic. The M2 is all too square and boring. The only thing bad about the wedge is the relatively wide display bezel.
