Keep in mind that the M2 series chips are the ones where 512GB storage runs faster than 256GB storage. They fixed this for M3 and M4.

Scenario 1- you'd rather not spend an extra $150
Scenario 2- you want something brand new.

Pretty good list so far huh

It's got some bigger differences. AI compute is 300% faster Compute can be 50% faster Camera is 12MP vs 4MPCenter Stage and Desktop View

Apple marketing. It's safe to say generational improvements are around 10% faster. For most people, the vast, vast, vast majority of the time, that's what they will see.
Camera is a bit better, yes. And Center Stage is nice, agreed.

Caution: this model also suffers from the 'crash on wake' issue. Google it. That made me decide to stay away from this model and go for M3 or M4.

Skip the M3 one too if you can get a good deal on M4. M3 has a wi-fi bug that makes it disconnect from networks. The workaround is making IPV6 "link local only" if I recall, but otherwise there wasn't an official fix.

Got this on BF to casually try out a Mac. Absolutely love it. Super fast and does everything I need it to instantly and the integration to iMessage etc is the cherry on top. Best of all is the insane battery life plus it charges at 70W at full charging speed vs the M1 air at 35W. I paid like an extra $120 for 3 years Apple care

That was an issue on my M2 as well. Not something to be exclusively scared of on the M3.

considering the M3s went for $50 more not long ago, this is a terrible price for 2 generations old.

M1 macbook air goes for $300 these days. That $699 is the price from 2 years ago

$599 gets you a NEW M1. This is for an M2 with 2x the ram. There are no $300 M1

I think the M2 doesn't support dual monitors without an adapter, kind of annoying

did they fix his with m3? i thought it was just the airs that dont support 2

Literally in the last 30 minutes (see immediately above) I've supplied 2 links (Amazon, Microcenter) for $899(ish) for the M4 MBA 13". Where are you seeing it for $850 "everywhere" ? Here's one more, BB, at $999: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/appl...Id=6565862 Apple Edu is $899 too.

Nevermind - it's clear you just mean 'in the past', and yes, tend to agree.

$850 everywhere for months. currently amazon and BH, costco. Microcenter and BB were, but no more. BB will price match many places. Im not near a micro center, but the did the $999 M4 mini Pro MC pricematch over chat.

Just certain Airs with the M2, not MBP. I run tech for a company and first time "owning" apples and learned this one the hard way. It's strange and frustrating because M1 airs supported dual monitors. M3 airs I think is dual with laptop shut and M4 airs are dual with it open I think. The more you know I guess

I thought you could snag an M3 for this price a few weeks ago. I only remember because I paid $850 for my M3 in December and it's a great machine, so I thought it was a great deal. This doesn't seem as good by comparison...
