Review: Apple’s new laptop has a lot to offer, but not everyone will feel the extra power.
Among other things, Apple says that chipset includes a CPU that’s 18 percent faster than the M1 chip you can still buy in a MacBook Air today. And that got us thinking: How likely is it that you’d actually be able to tell the difference?To find out, we cooked up a little test: On a bright August morning, we set up the new M2 MacBook Air and the comparable M1 model from 2020 in such a way that I could use both of them without knowing which one was which.
can put a lot of strain on a machine. That can be especially true when you’re using it while you’re streaming or chatting in a Zoom call. Neither computer seemed to bat a proverbial eyelash when I went wild with the filters, and at one point I proclaimed that — based purely on the satisfying jiggle physics of my potato-face — I must be using the M2 model. I was wrong.It wasn’t until we started editing videos that we really started to feel the difference between these two computers.
If recommending last year’s model for some people feels a bit odd, it’s because Apple’s whole laptop lineup is a bit odd right now.The Air is one of two new laptops that use Apple’s M2 processor, which has some advantages compared to 2020’s M1 chip. But last year, Apple started building computers with different versions of the M1 — the M1 Pro and M1 Max — that actually outperform the M2.
But despite what the new part number suggests, the M2 isn’t the fastest, best processor you’ll find in an Apple laptop; it’s just the newest.
