Folks,
I'm contemplating biting the bullet and buying a refurb M2 MBA w/ 16 GB RAM. I have a Studio, MBP14 and a 2019 Intel MBA. The purpose of this machine would be to replace the MBA which I use solely for browsing, email and Messages. My intent had been to make this move when the 12" MB came out but I guess that is looking unlikely.
I'm having a bit of a hard time justifying the purchase. The machine isn't exactly what I want. I'd like something smaller but I profoundly dislike iOS (so iPad is out).
What might tip me over is battery life. What kind of real world battery life are folks getting? I would like to be able to take the MBA on a weekend trip and not have to bring a charger. I find I get about 8 hours on the MBP - far too short to travel w/o a charger.
Any other thoughts are welcomed too.
TIA.
