You're getting +10% single threaded performance, +16% multithreaded performance.

You're getting MagSafe charging which can potentially free up one of the two thunderbolt ports depending on your setup (if you plug into an external monitor it probably doesn't matter).

ProRes encoding/decoding support. A slightly larger screen (mostly to accommodate the notch) with 100 nits more brightness. 1080p webcam. More color options. Slightly thinner and lighter design.

I agree for most people it's not likely to be a significant difference. Personally I like the M2 design better than the M1. If I'm getting a thin-and-light computer I want to flex that for all it's worth.

With the M1 version on sale at Walmart for $650, I don't know if this one is appealing at $800. You are paying 25% more, but what are you gaining?

Another way to look at it is: If you don't think the base M1 version meets your needs, why do you think the base M2 version will?

It's so they can advertise a low starting price while extracting huge margins from users who know they need more RAM.

Updated design and different color options are what have me interested.

Just don't get the 8gb version. Especially with the small nvme. With all the virtual swap memory, your nvme will wear out very quickly and everything will be slower using all that virtual memory.
