Not sure about him, but i was able to snag a used version of the M1 ultra rare combo that has 16gb ram, and 1TB SSD.

Cost me less than this deal, and runs great.
Nice. That definitely seems like a unicorn on the used market.

Quote from Wand :
8 GB is works real smooth on these machines.

This coming from someone who'd not go below 32GB on windows machines.
Then you lose your mind or you never realize you can do whatever you do in a 12gb windows.
Apple is more efficient and the 8gb mba performs better than 8gb windows hands down. But you will always find it slowing down after a while with multiple tasks running. If you can't feel the mba with 8gb is slower than your 32gb windows, you need to see a doctor.
Realistically, it performs really close to all of my 12gb windows. Not even close to those 16gb machines. They literally never slow down, until you put real work that would crash the Mac instantly

I doubt it. Apple is notoriously stingy on RAM for baseline models. Even the Macbook Pro still starts at 8gb.

Macbook air is for portability, made to be used on battery.
You saying a 16GB windows machine runs faster than Macbook on battery? The moment you disconnect the power on a windows machine it's goes to intel celeron speeds. The moment you open a decently sized program it's starts revving those fans like jet engines. The comparison needs to be done on a level playing field. If you're comparing powered windows vs macbook running on battery then why not compare macbook book with a desktop?

M2 air has slower SSD comparing to M1 air, just for your reference
What does that matter when the M2 system benchmarks 17-19% faster?

I think it matter for larger ssd usages like photo/video editing and data transfers

Worth noting that this M2 vs M1 has a magsafe charger, so if you have kids it might be worth it for this feature alone.
