1. +20% faster
2. Larger display 13.6" 500 nits brightness vs 13.3" 400 nits, liquid retina vs retina so more colors (billions vs millions)
3. Magsafe vs no magsafe
4. 1080p facetime camera vs 720p
5. Longer support from Apple
Worth $200 more? I got the M2 from tax free B&H, so the cost difference was $140 after tax for the M2. Definitely worth the difference.
Not an issue for me, even ran a windows 11 arm VM on mine while web browsing etc. great laptop. Next one I buy will be the 15" with 16gb, but I think most people would be okay with 8gb.
It is- but it's somewhat accurate. M1 8gb MacBook runs great. No slowdowns like windows laptop with x86 cpu and 8gb.
Chrome addressed that last year. 8GB is sub-par, even with their architecture and SSD in the M1 generation. My phone has 12GB.
Now it's a bloated shitbowl

Anyway during covid i picked up intense biking and also had a gopro8. I tried to make movies on iMovie and it would crash and overheat all the time so i gave up. I dont think the m1 can handle much.

Pretty annoyed by the fan and lack of battery life.
I know that 8GB RAM instead of 32GB would mean I can't have 150+ Chrome tabs open anymore. Other than that, how much difference does the M1 chip make?
Then we have the air with M2 chip and the cheapest the 16GB model has been was $899 but I think that was only available for veterans.
You probably can get them cheaper refurbished and esp from third party sellers but that's a double edged sword. The seller posted here is authentic and has been posted on SD for years.
