Everybody else focuses on benchmarks. iJustine focuses on real world usage. She shows editing, gaming and normal usage. This is why I highly respect her work!
it's a tough job to cater for everyone .....:
I agree with your statement! I’ve been so drawn back with many CZcams videos of people doing “benchmarks” or they say SSD is “slow”. But this is new M2 chip we have in the MacBook Air so I don’t know people come to a conclusion that this M2 Air is worse while the performance has been increased and with improvements of GPU and CPU. Like this is not even the Intel MacBook Air which I still have but I’m absolutely 😂 but I’m excited to receive my MacBook Air 15 inch with 24GB RAM by the end of the month
@@SuperHawk54Well all they did was compare it to the predecessor & compared to last year we all see what Apple did they crippled the base model ssd on all lineups to get u to upgrade ur storage for the as promised performance typical Apple
@@ralph6164 I get you, honestly I’m just excited to receive my new MacBook Air 15 which will be a great upgrade from my i3 Intel MacBook Air 2020 version and went with max 24GB RAM since I use external HDD
yes i totally agree with you! real world usage is key.
Thumbnail says 15 FOOT Macbook Air! That'd be a HUGE screen! Ha ha
Edit: Thumbnail has been updated.
180 inches macbook ahahaha
First thing I noticed too 🤣
😂 what a great observation!
I think it’s justine who is now 150 feet tall. ok, ok, this was a dumb comment
@@AZisk and yet still a funny comment. 😂
There is an old monster movie that’s something like Attack of the 50 foot woman or something like that.
So I immediately pictured Justine with laptop in one hand and iPhone in the other stomping down Cloverfield ave in LA.
Love that with the macs, you do an unboxing and a review!! It just shows how seriously you take this and how much you care to give your viewers all the info they need in one video. Love it ❤️
Simp
Your joy and enthusiasm is infectious! Thank you for a bright, happy start to my morning!
If they keep the 15" air line up going, I will definitely upgrade it to it in 1-2 years.
same
In 1 year there probably won't even be a new version yet.
Same!
Same, but for right now I like my 13 inch honestly.
@@davonjones1818 is your 13 inch the M2 version? :)
Mine get's delivered this Thursday! I got the 15" MBA M2 in Midnight and upgraded the RAM to 16gb. Can't wait to unbox it and put it to use!
I LOVE it! I’m getting this. It’s set to arrive next week. I went with 16gb/512gb which is pretty wild, the 2013 15.4 inch MBP I’ve used daily for 10 years has the same specs, but an entirely different processor! I’m so excited to experience the silicon chip. I want to make videos again. I’m exited to compare the screen and speakers too. I’m worried the speakers on my old MBP might be better but this MB Air has everything I’ve been waiting for
- MagSafe (honestly this was the dealbreaker for why I didn’t upgrade for so long)
- the keyboard I like
- screen size
- improved webcam
- improved charger that won’t be so heavy!
- device is over a pound lighter than what I’m used to!
- battery lasts longer
- computer won’t be so burn-my-legs hot!!
- amazing processor
Can’t wait!!!!!
💕💕💕💕
I'm an "Air" product fan... MacBook and iPad Air. This MBA M2 2023 is for me (personally) the BEST MBA Apple ever build. I have it 4 weeks and so happy with it. Can agree with all your real world tests. I'm work intense with Logic Pro X, Pixelmator Pro and Xcode... there are now issues and glitches. All is running smooth and fast. And battery endurance, great!!!
Silver is definitely my favorite color for these hands down. Very clean looking and fingerprint resistant. Just perfect.
When it comes to Apple, I always go silver.
After watching this video I recently upgraded from the 13 inch MacBook Air to the 15 inch MacBook Air - I have to say the camera on this 15in is waaayyyyy better so they may be the same but I' have to admit there is a huge difference ..luv it
Just left a comment on MKBHD, but I’ll leave one here as well. That this is my DREAM laptop. I love that you actually filmed yourself editing on it.
And YES, I also ask myself, what’s next? How will this machine look like in 5 years? What about 10 years? What a time do be alive and witness how fast technology has been evolving.
I traded my 13 air m2 for a 15 inch bigger screen means big
Apple offered $745 for my MacBook Air M2 and they offered $0 for my iPhone 14 Pro.
Best Buy offered $900 for my MacBook Air M2 and they offered $625 for my iPhone 14 Pro.
I then went to Best Buy and preordered. So excited for the 15”!
@@allstarkidXD you should just bought the 14 inch MacBook pro tbh. m1 pro are pretty similar price
@@dannnyyang 14 inch is to small for me i like bigger screen thats what caught my attention of the 15 air
My Macbook Air 2014 still works to this day (but battery life is awful, as expected). My 2018 Air works perfectly fine as well (battery life is okay, but the butterfly keyboard is very sensitive and sticky, which is expected with that keyboard XD ). And my current M2 13 Air works like a dream. It's my dream laptop (got the Midnight, and with a clear case, it's in perfect condition and remines fingerprint free). I expect the M2 to hold up and run smooth for at least 7 years. Hope this helps :)
I just bought the 16 inch m2 pro. No regrets i love it but just seeing the starlight option it’s so gorgeous. Great video Justine 🎉
As nice as this is, you made the right call with the 16 inch Pro I think. Mini LED display alone is amazing
@@Archivist42 yeah im in love with that screen it is so bright
I might be sold on this. Thanks for showing some of the editing, which I edit, too. I'll wait unit Black Friday and hopefully get a better deal.
Thank you!!! I was worried that this computer wouldn’t be powerful enough for me but it looks like it’s super capable! Thanks for showing the everyday usage and not just specs.
Finally out 🎉🎉🥳 I’m waiting for your exciting unboxing scenario to push me placing an order 🤪
Words cannot fully express the depth of my love and appreciation for you as a content creator. Our previous encounter was an incredible experience, even though I found myself momentarily frozen, unable to ask for a photo at your place.❤😂
i got the starlight color too!! IT'S JUST SO PRETTY!!
U 2 so pretty!
The best tech channel is back with another amazing mac yesss
Finally someone showing the real life usage and that say good things about video editing on this model. We all know that is NOT pro. However, seeing your video editing demonstration proves that this model not bad at all!!!! Now I really might buy this model..
After several confusing reviews between M2 and new M3 lineup, I just made my call thx to this video. Non M3 pro this time. I’ll be upgrading to the 15-inch MBA 16GB, 1TB. Amazing. Tons of thanks and blessings
I just want to say how much I appreciate you Justine. I am trying to budget and as a Windows user switching to Mac this definitely helps.
Thank you so much 😊 for your video ! I ordered it last week and I can’t wait 😛 to get it. It will be my first MacBook Air and I am coming from an iMac 21,5 ‘ of late 2015 which is kind of slow and I wanted something fast and definitely having the new M2 Apple Silicon ecosystem . Thank you for your invaluable contribution and content creation. Geetings from Greece ❤! We love you !
still rocking my 2015 lol
I’m still using my 2013 21.5” iMac occasionally! It still does basic stuff fairly well. I just can’t let myself get rid of it just yet! We updated it with a 500gb SSD back in 2020 and its still going strong! LOL
Just got this in Midnight! I can't believe something this quiet and thin can do so much. As a video editor, this will be amazing
Best first impressions video on the new Air. Thanks & well done!
Thank you!
I’m really impressed with the performance and how silent it is with the fan-less design! The only downside is that the price can get high real fast with upgrades to the point you should just get the pro model.
I like to think of this: the 15-inch is just a revamped M1, in a new case and display. In fact i usually think its the same form factor, just the larger screen by reducing bezels..
They did this in the iPad's as well
I’m impressed as well with this design and the biggest W from apple was brings back the MagSafe charging! I understand when you mention the price gets higher for upgrades but I decided to get the M2 Air BUT with MAX RAM 24GB and stay with the base storage since I have an external drive and I use a gaming monitor with 165hz refresh rate so for me the MacBook Pro for $2k especially with 16 inch which is more expensive would be already way too much for me and a lot of money
I ordered a Pro 16 inch, lasted 20 minutes, worst track pad I've ever used, thoughtt it had to be a joke because apple has great trackpads
First person to show proper real life editing, thank you Justine! 🙏🏻
I am so looking at this. I am wanting to downsize from my current desktop Mac which I have had for 10 years. Your reviews are just the best.
I skipped this upgrade from my M1 13 inch but then got the M3 15 inch in starlight….I…AM….OBSESSED!The bump up to the 15 inch is AMAZING!Its stunning!
I just got this exact same MacBook and I love your review. I was watching another review but the guy just seemed bored and “meh” about the laptop and it just wasn’t cutting it for me. Justine’s excitement totally matched my own and that’s why I actually watched this till the end.
Bought it and finally the reviews here!! YAYYYY
Love your content always Justine!!!
I just order my 15”Air M2 last week and it should be arriving this weekend! I picked 24/256 cuz if I need more storage, I’ll just get the 1T or 2T external. So excited for it now!❤
I just got this MacBook and it works amazing, it can run the sims 4 for multiple hours with no delay what so ever , I use it for school and I use it for watching CZcams videos. its amazing, currently have been on it for the last like three hours and the battery is still at 100% !!
Great review Justine. Have a great day!
I will be upgrading to this one in a few months. I am way past due for an upgrade. I’m currently using a 2012 model. I’m so glad I waited because this one is perfect for me.
Thanks for the info cuz i just ordered one can’t wait 😊
.. what a nice color combination, background vs foreground(your shirt) .. just amazing !!!
Wow I’ve been waiting for this
i’m getting this macbook for my junior year of college and i’m so excited, its beautiful
Why am i addicted to watching your unboxings? I'm not an Apple user, heck im not even an Apple fan tbh, yet here i am every time you post lol
Underratedddd.
I think you just sold me on this m2 air! I have the 2018 MacBook Pro and it’s SO SLOW for editing CZcams videos. I’m sure this will be a major upgrade for me
Great, fun and informative video as always Justine!
I picked up one Wednesday at Best Buy, Black Friday special price $1049, I also picked up the 70 W charger. I got the space gray, I love the color. I think the speaker sound amazing
I’m glad she’s vouched for the 4k editing as my current 2015 MacBook Pro can’t handle it at all. I to want to go 2TB and max ram but it makes it a 2.5k machine which is a shame but think I’ll still go for it.
wow, it does sound so good! The front camera recording sounds great!
10:00 what's next? the M3 chip with its version Pro and Ultra 😁
Just insane tho! It's so dope to see that at the end of the end of the day you don't actually need the best MacBook out there to edit videos or photos! 🔥
Awesome review Justine 😎👏
I was almost debating on getting the macmini m2 but this is just really cool. I may just go for this instead. It is very nice to take it on the go for portable use.
great review!! Recently just bought it and im in love 😍
I finally was able to save up enough to get the 15" MacBook Air m2....I had a 5 year old MacBook Pro. Been wanting the apple M chip for awhile. I have been an apple user since the Apple IIe...and when Apple went to intel chips I was super mad....lol, was ecstatic they decided to go with their own chips! I I also got the starlight color it's amazing!! Love your videos. I don't typically make comments but had to finally. Just watched your apple vision pro video...definitely one of the best videos out there!!!
I just ordered mine 😃Can't wait. 😁😁😁😁
i'm from iraq and i really impresive because of u u're just better then all youtubers that we have here u're just so real and u don't pretend like others i don't actually remember when i see a youruber like you , finally , i just wanna thank you to make this perfect content for us
Great review. I love my 15 inch M2 MacBook Air with 16 GM ram and 1 TB SSD in midnight. It is an awesome Mac!
Awesome unboxing. It feels like editing videos is seamless on the new Macbook Air.
I wasn't planning on upgrading my M1 13" Macbook Air but this one is making me change my mind 💕
Literally perfect review it touched everything
super helpful - thanks!
The new 15 inch Macbook Air looks great!
Thank you very much for making this unboxing video! I like very much your presentation. Once again Thank you very much!
Wow, amazing video, thank you so much for making this "SpecTacular" review!
I ordered one because I think it will be perfect for my software engineering work. The processing power is more than enough and the extra screen real estate will help big time with multiple source code files open at once. I opted for 24 GB of RAM and the 1 TB SSD so I'll have plenty of space for virtual machines and containers.
Hey! Just wondering what made you go with an air instead of a 14" pro as a SWE
@@mvglt Additional screen size at a lower cost and a bit lighter. I also don’t need the additional GPU cores of the M2 Pro or better display for the type of work I do.
@@DaneElshofhow much was it
It's a university BEAST. Light, portable, with a big screen for having a document and references on screen at once. Trading in my Intel 13" MBP for the 15" Air :D
YAY! I've been waiting for this. I want peoples feedback before I make my final decision. I'm so team Apple. The one thing I don't like is the camera notch and it's right in the middle of the menu bar. My older MacBook doesn't have that. You can see the whole menu bar. I love this unboxing.
You can just use an app to make it all black and you won't even notice it
i don't even notice it really. it shouldn't be a issue.
you won't even notice it after a minute. It's like it's just a part of the menu bar now.
Already ordered one of these as my first Mac
@@juansanchezdominguez7885yayy 🙌🙌
Apple finally made a large screen for the MBA. Good to hear it's working good on editing. Now I am waiting on the Mac Pro 2013
Watching this on my 13in MacBook Air.... so tempted! lol Loved the review😊
My wife was researching laptops to buy 2 months ago and loved the MacBook Air! However, she found it too small and ended up buying a PC instead. This is gonna be the most successful MacBook!
I've already got the M2 Max 16-inch pro, but it's so heavy that I think I'll get this for travelling.
currently watching on my 15 inch MacBook Air m2 chip in midnight I got for Christmas!
Just ordered mine I’ve always had windows laptops so I’m looking forward to using this
Just bought one I’m so excited I’m in need of a new laptop since my old laptop I used for college
Would you say it’s worth upgrading from the 2019 Intel MacBook Air?
I really only bought the 16” MBP for the size. if this existed at the time, I would’ve bought this. Actually take that back, since I got mines on sale when the M2 Pro’s came out for 1599 at Best Buy
I'd love the large screen because of my bad eye sight. Would help so much. Super review. Shalom
I currently have a MacBook Pro M1 13 inch (2020) and I’m thinking about getting this Macbook Air in 15 inc because as a work from home translator I want a bigger screen but lightweight so that I can bring it with me anywhere! And your video convince me to buy it in the color Starlight it looks so beautiful😍
Thanks for the review! I’m on the fence between a Pro and the Air, mainly because of the cost. Definitely getting the Air now! 😊😊😊
10:59 “awhwh MY BODY IS BURNING!”
-iJustine 2023 ❤😭
Watching in my air m2 silver🤓.......silver looks absolutely stunning......starlight also looks similar to silver in sunlight........anyway it's a absolutely beautifull macine
I got the 13 starlight MacBook Air. Not just a great colour, but a year later it has aged perfectly
Your video was perfect, okay? I'm about to buy mine and needed feedback, and your video came at the right time, thank you very much, you're incredible ❤
I have to wait another week before mine arrives ugh
Just got the Midnight one! Can’t wait!!
I just love opening up Apple products. The experience is beyond anything else in consumer electronics. I have to watch videos like this to get the experience, because I only buy one or two Apple products per year. And one of those is always the iPhone.
If Rosetta 2 stays forever, it will be a perfect companion.
I ordered Starlight and can't wait for Thursday
i currently have the MB pro 13 inch 2019 and i still enjoy it cause it is very powerful
I hadn't noticed that they removed the phoney speaker grills until you mentioned it, but I knew something was different! It looks so clean and modern now. That's great. 😅
phoney ?? I remember when they included these grills, and everyone didn't seem to care... My Macbook Pro 2011 had big fat ones on either side, and more ports too
back here for this❤️🔥🔥✨
I have the 13 inch 2013 MacBook Pro as well and this year I’m deciding to finally upgrade and I can’t decide between getting another pro or now this! Comparing specs there really isn’t that much of a difference. Anyone else go from a pro to a newer Air model ?
I´ve recently acquire the 13" 10 core, 16gb RAM, 1 TB SSD and it's so great for Photo Editing on Lightroom or Photoshop. Maybe the 15" gives you a bigger screen.
So you can edit small pro res video and pictures here on this cute laptop? Seriously! I want one 😂
I think you hit the nail on the head. They are diffusing the difference for the consumer of the AIR and Pro. And that can’t be good. The difference between Air and Pro is a fan in the pro for active cooling (Basically). This has put Apple in an awkward position of how to price the AIR. As you point out, it has almost the same power as a Pro. So, it should cost close to a PRO. But Air was meant to a be a lightweight lower cost alternative to the PRO line. I want a bigger screen, but I don’t need a work horse. I just need the OSx system. But the cost of the 15" due to the powerful M2 chip makes it unobtainable. Should they make a 15" with the M1? Or do they need to make a Mx chip that’s for the AIR and lower tier machines?
The differences that set both apart seem to be getting less, year by year with a new product.
Nice review keep up the good work
I've been looking at the Pro for iOS development, but if the Air can handle FCP then it can handle Xcode.
My MacBook Air m1 is perfection. Edits everything I need so quickly
it me being shocked too 😮 like now i cant wait for the Pro to upgrade
this is my dream laptop ever since i was in college
Thanks for the video. I just bought this air and love it. What app do you use for your video edits and which app was it where you deleted items out of the pic? I’m looking for a less expensive alternative to Final Cut Pro. It shows a $199 price tag in the App Store.
Just ordered this MacBook Air M2 15 inch in the starlight color for my upcoming senior semester and I’m so excited I was able to get the education discount from my college with free AirPods on tax free weekend what a score I can’t wait to pick it up tomorrow 😌✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
NICE UNBOXING!
I have the MacBook Air 13in in starlight and I love the color so much
Is there any performance difference between the 13in M2MBA and the 15in?
The old mac in the backgound is too cute!
