Well, except for the small problem that the M1 air exists and is still on sale. Same single core CPU performance and near enough multicore and GPU performance. And it's cheaper by a not insignificant amount.
Which is pretty much why Linus Tech Tips wasn't a fan. If you want an Air, get the M1 version and save a buck. If you want performance, kinda hard to argue with the huge upgrades you get from the not that much more expensive 14" Pro.
- zitterbewegung 4y agoI think you are confusing their review of MacBook Pro M2 with the MacBook Air m2.
- adgjlsfhk1 4y agothe air m2 still is $200 more for a fairly small performance improvement

- velcrovan 4y agoLinus offhandedly said the M1 had “disappointing performance” when it first came out. He’s got opinions but he’s not super credible.
- kllrnohj 4y agoThe LTT review I was referring to was by Anthony, not Linus. I don't recall Linus ever saying the M1 was "disappointing performance" anyway, nor how they wouldn't be considered a credible review? Just because a reviewer doesn't give the review you want doesn't mean it's not credible.
