Why the MBA M2 is the Best Laptop Apple Has Ever Made

No it’s not the case about the latest gen. I haven’t been happy with Apple’s MBPs for years. The flat butterfly keyboard for instance was brutal.
The Macbook Pro wins in every department for me with exception to looks, even though in my opinion the Pro looks better than the M2
You are asking a subjective question. There is no right or wrong answer.
He didn't know how much drama would be made? He is one of the worst one's on YouTube who created the needless drama. He has been doing it all along.
He is clickbait trash. I am not clicking on anymore of his stuff.
I tend to agree with you, I find the guy super annoying, but this is a pretty good video.
He was doing all right and then recommended doing the thermal pad mod. I stopped the video there so I hope he gave caveats but I doubt it. That mod is not a good idea for many reasons. If the thermal throttling is a problem for you, buy something else.
He didn't give any caveats.
The video linked is nothing more than Max Tech trying to make amends (without admitting wrong) for all the crap he has been posting about the M2. The video has so much sugar in it, I couldn't finish.
I had to laugh when I seen this video come out lol. Exactly, he was one of the main instigators of all this drama.
Has he ever responded to the accusation that all of his M2 256 GB testing was done on a 97% full SSD?
That's a bit worrying. Well, not actually worrying, more interesting, but you know what I mean. The M2 is faster in single core so most basic tasks should feel quicker than the M1 Pro/Max.
it is quicker. What helps the m1 pro/max still feel very quick is the 120hz screen. Gives it that snapper feeling. but the m2 air is quicker side by side when doing those tasks
You're convincing me to return my 14, sell my M1 MBA and get the m2....
??? You’re saying the cpu is the only difference? No - 3 massive things, the display quality, it’s also closer edge to edge and ProMotion 120hz.
Not to mention, ports (&multi display support), better gpu, way better ssd, proper cooling (sustained performance) more customisation etc. ram especially.
It's the best computer Apple has ever made. Chiselled to perfection, precision-engineered, pixel-perfect.
The Pro is the more powerful machine with a better display and speakers for not much more than the price of the Air. The fans rarely come on unless it’s pushed HARD and it has a much better selection of ports.
Obviously there’s no real way to make a definitive claim of better or worse, these things are subjective, but I think you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who knows anything about tech who’ll tell you the Air is a better laptop than the Pro on the whole.
Where did I say anything about that? I just said its faster in day to day performance, thats not an opinion, its a fact. Which means for an ultra portable day to day machine, its hard to beat. Get over it
