Is the MacBook Air M2 Air enough?

The Macbook has most probably changed the very perception and definition of "laptop" in this age of technological prowess. Announced at an Apple Worldwide Development Conference, it revealed the infamous Macbook M2, with the most advanced M2 chip, which the company had teased about earlier. The developers claim to have worked to increase the battery life, improve processing speed, and create a smoother experience. Though the price is on the higher side, the M2 definitely stands out in the segment with bags of features to offer. Let's explore the various possibilities of this device in this article.

PRICE

The price is undoubtedly one of the opposing factors, but it does not compromise on serving everything on one plate. With many such cosmetic changes, both smaller and some even bigger in terms of customization and efficiency, it comes in two variants. The base model has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage and is powered by an M2 SoC with an eight-core GPU for Rs 1,19,000, while the other has 8GB of RAM, 512GB of internal storage, and a 10 GPU for Rs 1,49,900. The 8GB 256GB variant comes with a 30W power brick, and the 8GB 512GB comes with a 35W dual-port Type-C power brick. But even if the storage isn’t enough, you can opt for a customised 24GB RAM and 2TB of internal storage at a price tag of Rs 2,49,900. The colour options are simple silver and Space Grey, with the recent addition of two new colours to the list, namely "Midnight" and "Starlight".

DESIGN

M2 has been completely choreographed to give a new fit and finish. The differences are not discernible unless the body and mechanics of the laptop are closely examined. The 14-inch display looks absolutely gorgeous with those beautiful, saturated colours. Also, this is one of the lightest laptops ever built by the brand, weighing only 1.24kg in comparison to the M1, which was 1.29kg heavier, making a significant reduction of around.05kg. It is lightweight, easy to carry and hang with. One of the interesting things to notice is the absence of any kind of branding for the company, except for the iconic Apple logo on the rear side of the display screen. The reduction in the overall weight has been made possible by the removal of wedges from the sides, less notch and more screen play, and also by the removal of unnecessary ports on the laptop. Apple says that with this reduction of height and width by 20%, it has been able to install and tune the device to a completely new level. Despite loads of work or gameplay during leisure times, the device won't heat up a bit and a cooler fan is missing this time, which makes it a pretty amazing change. But the removal of the fan doesn’t cause any sort of rise in heat signatures, even while you are typing or seeing a movie. The device remains silent and avoids all sorts of noise while operating. The keypad is properly placed, with the keys being very finger-sensitive and soft. The speaker adds to the beauty, and it doesn’t sound too loud or harsh, but very clear and crisp. The edges are not fully round while the corners are slicked towards the bottom, giving it a base or creating a balance in the design of the laptop.

SPECIFICATIONS

The change from Intel’s CPU to Apple's own in-house CPU has resulted in a tremendous boost in performance and adaptability and has added to the credibility of the laptop. The newer M2 comes with a customised 10 core GPU that allows you to upscale your RAM to a whole new extended memory bandwidth of up to 100 G/B. Significant changes can also be observed in terms of your wi-fi connectivity. The device comes with the latest wi-fi 6 technology that takes care of all your wireless needs.

PERFORMANCE

If you are a Windows user and have decided to check out this device, you will be amazed to see the differences that are indeed very striking and eye-catching. The display is brighter and comes with improved graphics with the option of 10 core to 16 core neural engines. With this model of MacBook, Apple has ensured that its customers have a perfect balance between leisure and work; a machine that can be used to multi-task without any lag or delay in the system or any heating issues while playing some simple games to brighten your mood. The transfer of files is very simple; even larger files, such as 100–200 GB, take off smoothly and land on the desired devices without raising any eyebrows. It is faster, lighter, and completely configured to work at your command at all times.

BATTERY LIFE

M2 would effortlessly go on and on for an amazing 18 hours and 20 minutes, while M1 could go for 16 hours and 10 minutes, which is pretty acceptable and decent looking for the size and components it has been stuffed with.

CONCLUSION

With so many features, power, and stability on the menu, who wouldn’t wish to have such a delicious dish? It comes with such rare features that you wouldn’t get anywhere else on the market. If you want to live a tension-free life without having to worry about investing in laptops every 2-3 years, then you are in the perfect place because M2 is capable enough to take care of all your needs and has elements of both worlds to bring peace and harmony to your life.
