Video Review: One Month With the New M2 MacBook Air
Apple in July released the redesigned MacBook Air, one of the first machines to feature the second-generation M2 chip. MacRumors videographer Dan has been using the new MacBook on a daily basis, so we thought we'd do a deep dive into his experience for MacRumors readers who might still be considering a purchase.
Make sure to watch the video up above to see everything Dan has to say about the
MacBook Air, but spoiler alert: We think that this is the best Mac notebook option for most people. It's sleek, compact, modern, and blazingly fast with the updated M2. It's more expensive than the
M1 model, but the M2 chip and fresh design are going to be worth it for many people.

FCP editing is super smooth compared to my old Intel macbook, and I fired up a virtual macOS machine for some client testing, absolutely flies! I kept rebooting the VM just to watch it boot! (4 seconds flat!)
Only downside for me is running an external display, good old windowserver snaffles 100% of the CPU even if you disconnect the display. And running a few games on the external is fine for about 30 mins but it throttles everything back once it gets toasty. For a Mac with no fan it handles the heat generated by 10 gpu cores on full tilt though, I suppose I could’ve gone with the 14” macbook for no compromise here, but the super thin form factor is amazing.
