The base M2 Air is more computer than most normal people need (even with the 'slow' SSD and 'inadequate' 8GB RAM). I got one as a secondary machine, and frankly, it is amazing. For normal computing tasks, surfing w. lots of tabs, MS Office, casual photo and video editing, this thing flies. I can barely differentiate its performance vs. my M1Pro 14".
The 8GB Ram is constantly pointed to as a bottleneck. Let me just say that there is literally nothing that you can do from a normal productivity perspective that will slow this machine down. MS Office, Chrome with a million tabs, Photo Editing, light video editing (i.e. short 1080p or 4K projects) all work like butter in a multitasking setting. If you're doing more than that then you might need more, but for people who just need a computer for computing or school, this will be amazing. And I've had $300 Chromebooks - it's not even close!
I'm blown away at how close it is to my M1Pro for daily computing work. It's a remarkable machine. That is not based on benchmarks - that is based on hands on, daily use for the past couple of months.
You can’t also compare 2GB to 8GB. If you do some quick math you’ll find out that 8GB is 4 times 2GB
