It seems like a fantastic laptop, but for people who are just buying one for themselves (vs 100+ for a corporate fleet) I don't think it's a great value proposition right now.
A base model M1 MacBook Air can be bought refurb from Apple for $850, a much more palatable price than the $1200 for the base M2 model.
On the other hand, if you add 16GB RAM to the high end M2 Air, it's only $300 less than the 14" MacBook Pro, which is a much nicer computer in pretty much every aspect except weight.

- pythonaut_16 4y agoMy experience with a 16" M1 MacBook Pro is that the fans don't come on unless I'm running games anyway. You could likely achieve an essentially "fanless" experience on the 14" M1 Macbook Pro as on the Air.
