[flyfly]

I am waiting for max tech to upload that video comparisson, so we can really se the difference in performace of M1 vs. M2, but, until now, he hasn't uploaded that video comparisson.

Is there any other reviewer that has donde it? Thanks!

just buy the M2 16gb/512gb MBA its a new design model. I've had it since launch day and it never disappoints. you can forever keep waiting or just buy it and use the heck out of it like it should. don't buy the M1, its older model and you will be questioning yourself why you get a 2018 model when its already middle of 2022.

This. Unless there is a financial issue there really is no reason to get the M1 over the M2. There are a bunch of M1 trolls on the forums trying to justify their purchase / justify talking themselves out of needing to upgrade. If you’re not getting the base mode M2, it’s the way to go. There are enough quality of life improvements.

M2:
Better and bigger display
Better GPU
Better keyboard
Slightly larger trackpad
Thinner and lighter
Better webcam
MagSafe
Additional useable port when plugged in
High impedance headphone support

yes and going forward this will be the design for the next few years. if you wanna cheap out or something, wait for discounted M2 MBA or wait for models to be on Apple refurbished store.

The reason why the M1 MBA is cheap coz they are almost going 2 years old. No point buying them for the same price when they are out in 2020 on Apple . Either get them at steep discount or get it real cheap used.

I was looking into getting M1 MBA in 16/512 combo after M2 Air supposed announcement, I expected M1 Macbooks to drop in price considerably(where I live) after M2 was released.
Boy I was wrong, locally in my part of EU all config M1 Air's are either sold out or gotten 100-150€ more expensive and often with delivery times up into november!
There goes my plan of buying super cheap M1 laptop and use it for couple of years until the real deal for me comes out - Macbooks with OLED screens 😅!

So, for some there is still valid reason on getting M1 Macbooks, maybe even in base config.
