  • MacBook Air with M2 processor review: The sweet spot for Mac portables in 2022

    My opinion here: apple has ripped off consumers for their own personal greed. Not sure if it’s how the system runs or not, or if it’s something wrong with my setup, but with a few apps open with a few tabs on safari, I’m drawing 6 out of 8 Gb. Migrating my old MB SSD/HDD over, I’m left with less than 80 Gb of storage. And that’s with downsizing. I have completely forgone my iTunes library, and deleted some apps. Not exactly sure what else I’m missing as I was having some trouble migrating both the ssd (250 Gb) and HDD (500 Gb). 

    I was on 2012 MBA 13 with 500 GB HDD later upgraded to second 250 SSD (as more or less a boot drive) in place of optical drive, and upgraded to 12 GB RAM. To upgrade to a 512 GB drive (which still would require downsizing) and 16 Gb ram (to have some headroom), I might as well just get a 14” M1 pro. Especially considering it would cost me another $100 or more dollars to have a dual screen setup with the M2 air. I really don’t do any heavy lifting with this computer. The fact that apple has made this computer cost nearly as much as the M1 pro, essentially forcing people into the bigger purchase, is pure greed. There is NO reason whatsoever that they shouldn’t have put a 500 Gb SSD in this 2022 machine.
