In your opinion is the slower SSD controversy in the base M2 Air overblown?

The MagSafe and the faster chip is definitely a game changer from the two laptops but in my workflow will it be noticed? That’s the real question.

One usb port is available if you’re on charge and at a desk without MagSafe.

If the machine is your main device MagSafe doubles your USB ports.

Awesome color.

Awesome color.

It is! It’s also a freaking fingerprint magnet, but oh well. Looking boujee has its downsides. LOL

I just installed 30GB application and its files on Macbook Air m2 (namely, Logic Pro), and guess what, the installation was limited only by internet speed and SSD speed had absolutely zero impact on the operation.

Same; or rather, I installed about three 10Gb applications and their support files. Granted, I've got the 512Gb M2 MBA, but honestly, were this thing 1/2 as fast as it is, it'd still run circles around my previous laptop. LOL

Of course, were I doing a ton of desktop publishing, photo editing, moving gigantic files, etc., I might have a different opinion, but if you're doing all that, the base MBA M2 wasn't/isn't intended for those audiences anyways.
