My M1 MacBook Air is insanely fast and the battery life is easily the best I've ever experienced. If the M2 is anything like the M1 or better, I agree, these things are going to make Apple a nice chunk of change.
- hajile 4y agoI suspect the best reason for upgrading is access to 24GB of RAM and maybe the hardware video encoders if that's your thing. Otherwise, M2 is a very solid iteration, but probably not worth dropping that much money if you already own an M1 system.
- kingsleyopara 4y agoFor me it's hardware nested virtualization but I'll be waiting for the M2 Pro.
- vasili111 4y agoCould you please provide the link about "hardware nested virtualization"?
- kingsleyopara 4y agoWhile not officially confirmed, it seems likely as the A15 appears too (https://nitter.net/dylan522p/status/1438313107231842304 https://nitter.net/dylan522p/status/1438313107231842304), and VMware seems pretty optimistic (https://nitter.net/denniscdietrich/status/1534565127617380355 https://nitter.net/denniscdietrich/status/153456512761738035...).
- saagarjha 4y agoI have no idea why VMware is talking about EL3 access, these chips do not have EL3. They do have nested virtualization but it's not available in the system frameworks yet.
- spurgu 4y agoFor me the main reason to upgrade would be Magsafe. I'm constantly afraid of someone stumbling on the cable and destroying the USB-C port. I couldn't find any info on this, is this the same Magsafe as the 2015 devices, i.e. can I use existing old chargers? If so then I might even consider upgrading just due to this (I also have a 12/24V Magsafe charger). 24 GB RAM would be nice compared to 16 GB currently, but it's not something I'd really need.
