Not ok.

u need 16gb and 512gb for M2 Air for normal stuff. This is not a joke.

Your spec can't even play a high bitrate 4k60fps video smoothly. doh.gif

You are both talking about MacBook Air M2 right? Seriously no heat issues y’a? I’m considering MacBook 13 because of the fan, but 14” one is way too expensive for me to stomach especially I don’t even use it for any rendering work. Just wanna watch shows and surfing….. I think MacBook Air seems like the best choice for me. I guess if I use a fan blowing at it, should be ok? Lol.

if u just surfing and watch movies/YouTube, then the MBA M1 is enough for u. Actually the MBA M2 and M1 performance is quite similar, u pay more $$$ for the MBA M2 new design only which I think it's not worth it.

Either u buy MBA M1 or wait for the MBA M3, the MBA M2 is just not worth in anyway.

I don’t have a laptop now except work one so I need one soon. So I really don’t want to wait for the next one, technology is always changing anyways, how do you expect to chase every single version? at that rate might as well wait for m3, m4, m5…

Also how long does the update support for each device? I assume that M1 Air will have only 4-5 years lifespan left?

M1 mba is 1 year less life span than M2 Mba.

By the way, what ram are you all using? It seems like 8GB is more than enough for the tasks that I have. But 16GB seems like a better choice.

If u buy m1, 8gb is enough but for m2 u need 16gb.
