Interesting. I will check if that's an option. Other option is X1 carbon. i7-1185G7. 16gb and 512gb

Is anyone using MacBook M2? How is the performance?

I’m using M2 16gb Ram with 512gb Macbook Air now before this I had base version which was way to slow. But since the upgrade I’m happy with the performance and everything. Also, the compact factor is really good.

What you’re talking about is the base config for the air

Base is 8 gb ram

Disappointing, I switch from an old MacBook air M1 to macbook pro M2 to have a more smoother and faster experience but honestly not much of a difference.

Well. I am upgrading 3 year old x1 carbon.

Yeah, honestly the delta value between the any of the M1s (including the pro) vs the M2s is absolutely nothing

Be back in a week to tell us what your first impressions are :)

Sure thing. Would be couple of weeks. It's a office laptop, so might take few days for delivery

Ooo nice! Also, it’ll be a huge bummer if you don’t get the dbrand teardown sticker. Its $30 but the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen

Still waiting for my laptop. ☹️. Feeling sad. So just wanted to express my feelings.

You mean the base version M2 MacBook Air was slower than the one you're using right now? (I can't think of a reason that would make a significant difference except for the doubling of the RAM - that too if you do a lot of heavy-duty multitasking)

I was actually considering upgrading my MacBook and was comparing the newer models. I'm using the 2017 MBP Intel i5 8GB RAM. Wanna upgrade because the battery life has gone down significantly and heating issues during heavy multitasking (building iOS apps etc)

MacBook Pro M2. Not the M2 Pro.

Wow

I’m considering upgrading from Pro M1 to Air M2, assuming it will be a performance upgrade (for running stable diffusion & the likes).

ishant

@yuvrajratra share your experience of Air M2.

Doesn’t make much sense since the difference will be marginal. Upcoming M3 on 3nm will offer a significant upgrade so wait for it.

It really depends on what you want to do on it. For routine tasks, the difference in speed is not noticeable. Move to something like video editing and it sort of hits you right there. Also the battery life is staggering for a high end notebook!! I would stick to an Air but if you have lots of multimedia work to do, this thing is formidable.

Not happening this month or may be next as well. After few mails and phone calls. I learnt apple priorities retail customers over enterprise one. And our supplier have no information when they will receive the consignment.

I’m on 16” + 16gb + M2 and it’s running like melted butter 😅

However, it freezes badly during high-resource operations (tried running a diffusion model locally, with no other apps open). The 38-core M2 Max is the only one that’s stable and doesn’t freeze (it’s also the only model that handles 96GB of RAM). For simple figma & video editing uses M216” should be fine though.

Although it’s an expensive setup, if you’re planning to get into designing AI stuff or even high-end video/3D work in future, it’s a worthy investment.

I’m using the M2 Pro MacBook Pro

I’ll run any benchmark you want

Middle version

I honestly got this machine and never think about anything… all my requirements are more than exceeding…

It’s a machine that truly is transparent. I imagine and create… that’s all I need. If it can more than exceed your requirements, no benchmark is needed

I prefer an app called Dozer, it’s free and it just feels cleaner :)
