[2025] Macbook Air M2 users, how is your experience so far ?

[Mainsail]

I have a 2022 base MBA (8/256) running the latest version of MacOS. No problems. Smooth as butter. Best computer I'ver ever owned. I am a pretty typical user running everyday applications: mail, messages, photos, calendar, contacts, safari, notes, iWork, MSOffice......occasional iMovie, usually just slideshows for family events.

I am running a M1 MBP with 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. From a performance standpoint, I have had no issues. I run development/docker containers, I've done video editing with Davinci Resolve, and I haven't really had much concern on performance. Now, my machine has fans/active cooling, so I'm sure that's helping, but my fans don't run unless I'm doing more intensive tasks.

I would caution against the 256GB of storage though. I have been at < 20GB of free space for months on end and I keep an external SSD for video files and such. I would say to get 512GB at the minimum. I've been forced to be more mindful of what I'm installing/using and I wish I would have opted for a bigger hard drive when I got it.

Best Mac experience I have ever had going into my 3rd year with my M2. Transitioned from a 5K iMac as result of changing needs, and it has been a joy. Eventually going to upgrade to the M6 MacBook Pro once the new design arrives, but my Air will remain with me as long as it runs. Apple knocked it out of the park with this computer IMHO.

Oh are you using silver version (like in profile account?) right? Looking good.? I don't see any fingerprint either
