QUOTE(twtang @ Jun 8 2022, 06:10 PM) Don't forget abt the 1080p camera. It has been complaints about the 720p camera on the M1 MBA, and now the M2 MBP also using the same old camera. never just see the paper spec in Mac.....I has been using m1 MacBook Air since Jan 2021.....all good till now...no complaint This post has been edited by kevinpss: Jun 14 2022, 01:44 PM

QUOTE(moiskyrie @ Jun 8 2022, 07:02 AM) M2 base model enough for adobe software? Like photoshop, illustrator, indesign, premiere, audition, etc… Photoshop got picture editing around few hundred picture, Illustrator for designing/editing which sometime involve complex effect. Indesign variable date around 20k data, authoring book. Also the screen crack solve? never had screen crack issue. If you are pro user, better go for MacBook Pro 14" or 16"...don't look air

QUOTE(Jason @ Jun 10 2022, 01:33 PM) I don't think they were lazy. I think they put it there so we can justify the increased MBA m2 price by comparing to the MBP 13 m2 If it didn't exist, we will be focused on saying the MBA m2 increased in price - by right it should be $999, replacing the M1 MBA. But instead, they kept the pricing across the board and increased their profit margin. And you can see it is working, nobody said MBA m2 is expensive lol, when it actually is. MBA has always had an entry price of $999 until now. don't over analyze. no point. try build your own hardware and software and you will find the price is very good actually.

QUOTE(kevinpss @ Jun 14 2022, 01:42 PM) expected due to the COVID/War/Fx/Inflations etc. don't expected cheaper price tho, not realistic. probably another 2 years to go and it will just stay the same situation or worsen. I dont expect it to be cheaper. 1k difference is a bit too much I think.

After watching the #ssdgate issues with the MBP M2, as well as the increased power usage of the M2 chip over the M1, most likely going to buy MBA M1 instead.

I would wait to see if MBA M2 has the same ssd or not, might not have the same issues. Just wait for the reviews to come out first.

Hi sifus, typically when should one expect Malaysia to have in stock
Assuming: Launch almost same time as US Willing to queue
Possible to have it before September?
Does anyone know back in 2020 M1 MBA launch in Aug when does the stock come in MY?
Reason being if that's absolutely impossible then I'll just get a hand on M2 MBP13 or M1 MBA

https://youtu.be/IASBmKPixt8I wanted to buy the MBA M2 on launch day — always buy Apple stuff on launch day. But this time around Apple really screw us over. The base model is basically a lemon and Apple did it on purpose. Guess I’ll be ordering the MBA M1 base model instead. For those who will upgrade the SSD and/or RAM, its a good machine, but with that kind of money why not buy the MBP 14.

These are all speculations. MBA M1 256gb itself is using a faster SSD vs MBP M2 256gb. Since MBA M2 is a redesign, could be a different SSD from MBP M2. MBA M1 will still be there to order anyway later.. This post has been edited by ultra_nyamuk: Jul 8 2022, 12:27 AM
