I never use MacBook before Is MacBook good for gaming? I see some of the video while playing with max setting and get fps around 30+/-.

To be honest, MacBooks suck at gaming.

They are really not made for gaming. But are more capable in graphic processing than many high end windows gaming laptops.

I think Apple will only focus on gaming when cloud gaming becomes more mainstream. Apple doesn’t sell one device which can do everything, so it’ll probably sell you another device which is specifically made for gaming in the future.

Dont buy macbooks for gaming, it sucks. Get Asus G14 👍🏼

OIC… Because I bought razer blade laptop many years ago and no idea why most of laptop getting laggy after a year. Just want to try something new like MacBook instead. 🤔

Gonna check it out. I’m using iPhone many years and never get stuck on screen or laggy. Thinking to get a new laptop. Purpose for me watch movie, game and download music.

MBA is good for most entertainment and productivity tasks but not gaming. I have a separate windows laptop for gaming. This is more for daily work/usage.

Mac is not the answer if your device is laggy after a year. You need to check why your device is laggy - is it because not enough physical resources? Or software/malware issue?
I own both Mac and Windows and each has their strength and weakness.

Placed my order on apple.com on 21 July and still at processing stage. Delivery estimate remains unchanged at 2 to 9 August 2022.

Anyone who bought the new M2 MBA who upgraded from the M1 MBA? I’m considering to buy one but not sure which one to get. I will use it for word processing and doing researches mostly.

My advice is not to upgrade. M1 to M2 for your usage is really unnoticeable, especially if comparing at the base models. Unless you really like the design changes.

Was thinking of getting the M1 model and use the difference to upgrade RAM and storage.

If u need extremely more power just go for 14-inch based model.

I'd suggest you to skip this gen of M2 MBA first. Not so noticeable and also not significantly better as well. Like iphone 12 -> Iphone 13,

Just received today, placed for lowest specs + applecare for my wife using her staff/education discount at almost the same price as retail. Placed on 21/7, received 6/8. Going to take over her old 5 yrs old MBP 13.

I received it on 3 August, ordered the one with 8-core/8-core, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. So far so good.

Can skip M2

Same as my spec. Suppose to receive it on Thursday but was out of town. Asked them to deliver on Tuesday.

If budget is an issue for you, go with the M1 MBA. It is plenty for word processing and research work (internet browsing, productivity tools and others). Only consider the M2 if you have the budget and do consider getting at least 16GB of unified memory and at least 512Gb of storage.

Very nice, the only thing that I like about the new M2 MBA is the entire change in design, from the extra power port (Magsafe) and the slightly larger screen with a better webcam.

Bought an m2 air for few days already screen flickering issue
