well good thing a lot of third party reviewers ordered the MBA M2 and should get it on launch day. I would wait to see those reviews before if you want to buy.
Got a tip for us?

Reviewers don't get special treatment with Apple. All independent reviewers get their devices from Apple at the same time as everyone else.
Only name brand like WSJ and the likes may get them earlier.
From Apple’s perspective, those are the lower end customer, thus they intentionally neuter the experience. Its within Apple’s satisfaction level.
so anyone that buys a entry level iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac are low end customers, ok, think you are thinking of Samsung lol
Don't ask me, ask Apple why they intentionally neuter the experience for the baseline model.
I also assume that the lowest storage SSD will be slow, but that's what reviews are for, to verify. Also in my experience with reviews, they usually get the lowest storage, not 1TB or more. But in this case, since the lowest is probably slow, they might get one step up to maintain the deception. But reviewers usually do not get the lowest RAM.
When Apple send review units, they tend to send mid to upper tier model, never the baseline model. It's a strategy to create positive impression from the reviewers.
no one even knows that yet, where's your evidence? don't say mbp m2 different product
unfortunately if you use it like I do, shared with my partner, we have two accounts and if you log them in at the same time then all in a sudden 8gb isn’t enough anymore, a few tabs here and there, word, excel, a few pdf each and it’s swapping like crazy and getting slower and slower.
The only way is to get 16gb and maybe 512gb so you basically have two macs in one.. if it makes sense. But it’s $2499 AUD. A lot!!

you can get a 14" 16/512 for $200 more now, on sale, amazon, good guys, office works
Yeah, but I like ultra portable devices.
My m1 is great, I just wish I got it with more ram and memory back then.
I had a thread on this and roughly 80% of people said yes 😅
Yet I still wait for m2 reviews lol
Well as you said it’s too Macs in one so that’s only $1249.50 AUD each 😂
the MacBook Air is going to overheat. BAD. It has no fan
The M2 MacBook Pro overheats and it has a fan.
So what does that tell you?
By some kinda special magic the MBA with an M2 and No fan will not overheat and throttle??

It’s not going to overheat doing regular tasks. This whole channel is just a bunch of clickbait videos
Total clickbait,
Check out the channel for the everyday dad, more honest no hype.
Computer is fine for all work unless you artificially force it- like any computer would.
No!!! Has Max lost his Apple Pass? He should be more positive and full of Apple love and joy.

Oh, I am being very tongue in cheek here. It’s long been known that being critical of Apple can get you blacklisted in some way. (No early review devices, for example.)
Especially when Jobs was running the show.
But, it is fun to create the scenario where you could get completely shunned in even lose the ability to BUY even AirPods 🤣
Supply; demand; management; whatever ... the old M1 MBA has wait times that are twice as long as the ones for the new M2 MBA.
Suspect that a lot of people have been put off by the pricing and are holding off ordering until until they are desperate to buy.
Be good if orders are so low against expectations that Apple is forced to rethink its insane base and upgrade prices.

Because in a vast majority of cases be it everything from books to bikes to cars to other electronics reviewers get things far ahead of the general public.
Yup.
I ordered an M1 MBA 15 minutes after watching the M2 announcement. The 500EUR price difference was hugely off-putting.
Just pray to god that it's nothing like the M2 MacBook Pro. I don't know why but I just get a feeling that the M2 might have been rushed before it was ready.
