I just picked up the base M2 Macbook Air and I love it!

My first MacBook since 2009, damn this thing is amazing.

I wanted something to replace my aging iPad Pro from 2018. Everything is running buttery smooth and I have zero complaints. I was a bit hesitant at first about buying the base model but once I gave it some thought it seemed that going with 16gb would be complete overkill for what I would be using it for.... Web browsing, Discord, Music, Movies and playing games via GeForce NOW (cloud gaming).

This is my best purchase of 2022, hands down.

Last year I purchased the M1 MacBook Air. I went for the base model as well and for my usage it is fine. I used to have a 2013 MacBook Pro and it was overkill. I only chose it over a MacBook Air as until fairly recently (in my opinion) the screen display on the Air was pretty crap.
 
I love my M2 Air. I didn’t get the base model but I probably could have. I love how thin and light it is. What color did you go with?

I went with space grey as it was the last one in stock at my local PC shop 😅 I may have gone silver if they had it in stock.
