I was at Best Buy yesterday and saved a couple more bucks off the 13" base model M2 MBA in the pretty dark blue. I replaced my M4 iPad Pro with this. I really TRIED to use the iPad as my "laptop" but it's just a miserable experience. I've spent a day with this M2 MBA and it's a slice of heaven. It's far too much computer for the $770 I paid. (open box) Sits on my desk next to WFH workstation and does all I need exactly as I need.
Even as very casual users my girlfriend and I both could not make this work, I think the idea that the iPad is currently a viable laptop replacement has to stop being perpetuated, it’s pretty foolish. Even those of us who *think* we only surf the web and listen to Spotify are going to run into countless unforeseen scenarios in which an iPad is just too cumbersome and awkward an experience for prolonged laptop replacement.
If 6GB RAM is not enough to run Apple Intelligence on an iPhone.... how the hell is 8GB RAM on a Mac enough to run it.
I can understand how light users could survive on an 8GB laptop in the past... but just don't expect to do much Apple Intelligence on that. I can't imagine running a local LLM in such a constrained system.
