I’m aware of that.No PWM on M2 Air:
Apple MacBook Air M2 Entry Review – A very good, but too expensive daily MacBook
Notebookcheck reviews the new Apple MacBook Air M2 Midnight in the base-level spec with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD storage.www.notebookcheck.net
Didn’t work for me. I had purchased, tried, and returned an M1 MBP 13.

That product is the Mac Studio and Studio Display.
We’re barely a month into Q4 and 2022 isn’t even over. Why is this paragraph referring to the present as the past??

it’s odd that it’s taking so long to get m2 pro and m2 max out the door. i thought m1 and m2 weren’t even that architecturally different.
Likely fiscal year, not calendar year.
buy two m1 and you will have m2 😉😉😉If apple releases new M2 minis before Christmas I'll be helping out in the mac revenue category.

Apple's fiscal year starts on Oct 1, same as the Federal government. Therefore its fiscal year ends on Sep 30, meaning fiscal Q4 is the calendar 3rd quarter.
I hope you’re right, but I have a feeling there’ll be no update until spring 2022—maybe even 2023. One year later, The M1 Max/Pro still out performs the M2, so Apple doesn’t really have much incentive to update 14/16 pros Pros on a yearly basis. We’ve seen them not update the Mac Pro for years, so there’s some precedent there. But that’s just my guess. Let’s see how it plays out.
Yeah it’s really hit and miss with Apple’s display technologies. The iPad Pro 12.9 is apparently the same display tech as the MBP 14/16, but i have to slap a matte screen protector on the iPad to avoid eye strain. Maybe it’s the thicker glass on the iPad, adding glare—who knows.
The Apple fiscal year ends at the end of September. We are now in Q1 2023 according to their fiscal calendar. It’s an accounting thing.
The just released price increases for iPads and iPhones, more Mac price increases coming soon I bet, since for now only the MBA got bumped. Give it a few more months and we'll see. In EU at least, some of the products are now simply absurdly expensive.
It’s because finally the Euro is at parity with USD. Finally we can afford to eat out in Europe.

I'm reading this as there not being any fanfare but, perhaps, a boring 10-minute video similar to the unexciting iPad release.
Here's your M2 Pro/Max/Ultra/Elite MacBook Pros, now in Midnight! or some such 💩.

We're waiting for the M2 Mini and/or iMac. Loudly.

I think Apple is planning to produce the M2 pro/max/ultra/extreme chips using the newer 3nm technology from TSMC, which has been having some production issues causing delay…
Can you explain further? What is causing eye strain that you couldn't just change the resolution or something similar? Apple is known for having some of the best displays on the market so I'm curious what the problem was.I would have bought an MBA if it didn't cause me eye strain and headaches. I sold my M1 MBA for $700 at a huge almost 50% loss again because of eye strain and headaches.
Plus Apple is way behind on weight. Most 13" laptops are now 2.5 lb or less, many 14" can be had for 2.5 lb.
But ultimately because of the display issue, I may never be able to use macOS again.
Also, M1 Airs are selling for more than $700 around me.
The Mac Studio and Mac pros are the only decent desktop systems. I despise all in ones. Mac mini Intel was too horrible for my needs, especially the GPU. The Mac Pro was too expensive and the base model was horrible for the price. There was nothing else available.

I never liked the or need the power of i7 especially the much higher TDP. During remote work I upgraded the 2015 iMac to a 2020 i7 iMac, it's my first Mac with i7 processor. The fan noise is unnoticeable (1200RPM) throughout the years until updating XcodeAh, the Fusion drive. I understand.
BTW, I originally bought the i7 but hated the fact the fan always came on audibly every time I exported a video for longer than 30s, so I returned it and got the i5, which is much quieter.

'Safe port in the storm:' Why investors rewarded Apple but fled its Big Tech peers after earnings
Apple's performance during earnings this past week got a drastically different reaction from investors than its Big Tech peers Amazon, Google and Facebook.
Check this thread and the one therein
Did the M2 MBA solve the eyestrain/headache issue for you?
I tried in the store today and it doesn't look like it will address the issue for me. For reference, this is the thread discussing the issue with the M1 MBA. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/anybody-getting-eye-strain-on-m1-macbook-air.2269498/

I could have probably gotten a bit more for mine (8c GPU/8/512) but I would have had to wait--it had already taken me a week to move it at that price. Apple's offer was $410.
How is the battery life for this lighter laptops compared to Macs ?I would have bought an MBA if it didn't cause me eye strain and headaches. I sold my M1 MBA for $700 at a huge almost 50% loss again because of eye strain and headaches.

None of the windows laptops i owned had decent battery life and not even close to what they advertise.
