IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING A MACBOOK AIR M2 READ THIS FIRST!

I have owned the M2 Air for 1 month and now have horizontal and vertical lines flickering on the screen, making it impossible to use. I was replacing a M1 MacBook Air that had the same display issue within months of buying it. They made me send the M1 in for repair twice and it failed again a third time right after the warranty expired. This was a new laptop! They refused to issue a new laptop to replace the reject I bought and since the warranty expired they expected me to pay to have it fixed again, when they didn’t fix it properly the first 2 times! The second time they falsely claimed I dropped it but they fixed it and shortly after the screen quit working completely.

So… stupidly I bought an M2 Air thinking the problems were with the M1 only. Nope! I have the same display issue with the new model after 1 month!!! Apple isn't owning up to the display issues of the M Series MacBooks. In the past year I've spent almost $3,000 for 2 MacBook Airs that are now useless. I've wasted so much time sending it in for repairs, reloading apps and being without a computer while they try to fix their issues, which they obviously can't do… or won’t do because they’ll “fix” the issue, until the warranty runs out and leave you to pay for the failed laptop afterwards. It’s a trap. That’s what they did to me with the M1 and now it’s happening again with the M2.

If you have a serious problem with your Mac you’ll never get a replacement; you’ll never get your money back and your work will constantly be disrupted with getting it repaired. Good Luck to you if you spend your money on one. As a long time Apple buyer/user, I now recommend you don't as it appears that Apple is not being responsible for the ones that have display issues.

Additionally, if you do gamble and buy an M2 be sure to also add the additional $300.00 for the Apple warranty or you may get stuck with a large repair bill shortly after the factory warranty runs out. I feel scammed.

Oh. Do I understand that the M2 can be charged with either the MagSafe or USB-C?

HELP! I dont have any macbook, the M1 is $800 and just found the M2 for $1,000. Which one should I go for if i use it for regular office/home stuff?

Me watching this with 0$ in my pocket🤡🤡

I guess I will just keep my MacBook Air from 2017 haha

I know people don't seem to notice it day to day but I cannot get over the notch, feel like it completely distracts from what is otherwise a great looking laptop

Bought an M1 Pro 16" few month ago and It just never on par with my ROG DUO.I do 3D archviz rendering / animation which need more powerful machine that support Ray Tracing, DLSS technology. This M1 only come with Radeon. Limited Unreal Engine function, no Lumion render, no D5 render. The only good thing about M1, sleek design and silent. Comparing both of my laptop just like an electric car ( M1 Pro ) vs Skyline GTR ( ROG DUO ). Or in another words.. g@y vs beast. LOL.

Seeing some actual real world speed comparisons would have been nice, but your saying how the M1-Proand M1-Max are really different led me to check them out. I found that they are better but it's not an insane difference. So from what you've said, the M2 as such isn't really much different than the M1. It's just style stuff in the MacBook Air. So now I can comfortably keep the M1 Mac Mini I just ordered and not hang in there until the M2 Mac Mini comes out. I heard the M2 Mac Mini was going to be thinner … I can live without that.

i honestly hate the new design. not “air” at all lol

Here is my dilemma in todays world and for long-term longevity/durability I don’t know which MacBook version to buy between the 14” MBP M1 256 for $1600 or the low end spec’d MacBook Air for $800. I am a late 30/male/college student/going into nursing graduate program.I need to upgrade my 2013 MacBook Air. What do you think?

M1 has a fragile display. Avoid it at all costs

M1 design looks better 🤷‍♂️

Are there any issues with the battery overheating for the M1 version?

Frankly, he says frankly too much haha

Europe
1050€ m1 air
1520€ m2 air
No competition m1 >>>>>>m2
Why a 50% increase? Its to the point that the 14inch base model makes more sense then a m2 air

I’ll stick with my 2012 13” MacBook Pro till it explodes. It’s about to, to be honest…

Personal advice: If you buy a MacBook Air, Go with the M2. But if you already have the M1, you can skip the M2.

I’ve got M1 MacBook Air 💻

The M1 is nevertheless useful for a socially awkward and depressed student. Any task can be effectively handled by it.

Hey, CNET….. NO Windows laptop at a similar Price Point, NONE, can touch the M1 or M2 MBAs for performance, both plugged and (especially) unplugged….NONE can touch its battery life and NONE offers the build quality and fit and finish of Apple laptops. Apple wins on the Price/Performance ratio against comparably spec'd Windows offerings from AMD and Intel and likely will for the foreseeable future. If there is a better value for dollar…Please demonstrate it.

Please clean devices before close ups. That USB ports have disgusting grime when zoomed in that much

Great video 👍
