How often are you all using the new M2 air?

[rachislenska]

so how often are you using it? daily? every other day? 1-2 days/week or even less?

coming from 2013 MacBook Pro I was surprised at the level of upgrade. the machine is fast, responsive and better in every aspect. I was using it daily for hours initially as my research paper was in finishing stages. Now that its completed and uploaded and with me waiting for the journal decision I'm not using it as frequently. My screen time is like 1.5 hrs /day on most days and on weekends I barely use it. The thing is even though its so lightweight for a laptop it can't replace my iPad for iPad things. its better to watch movies than my MacBook Pro but still I kind of prefer my iPad.
I feel like over time I will use it mainly for professional tasks like my earlier Mac instead of the all in one device. I love the device by my screen time is returning to my usual average. guess I can't phase out my iPad altogether.

so how frequently are you all using your MacBook?

Couple hours a day. I don’t use it for work

4-6 hours/day on average. It's a great tool for personal use.

a. my GF drags me away (kicking & screaming)
b. i can no longer delay the bathroom
c. there's a new 'archer' or 'house of the dragon'
d. i'm on my iphone

Daily. It's a notebook like any other.

Weird question really.

I don't think it is that weird. Many people will buy an M2 MacBook Air as a secondary computer for mobile use.

What? You don't take it into the bathroom?

nah, because then it wouldn't count as a break.

for other reasons, i don't take it to bed either 😉 (at least, not any more) 😔

Depends on workload. If I have "heavy" programming to do I'll spend around 4 hours in the mornings on my Mac mini in my office then a few hours later in the day in the lounge on my Air. For less "heavy" days I'll use my Air for everything.

Not weird.just asked because my own use hours is returning back to my average inspite of speed and lightness/portability after initially using it for everything.

wierd response though 😆

Ive been playing C&C Red Alert 2: Yuris Revenge nonstop for a month now..

 

[Apple_Robert]

I use mine every day.

 

[mr_jomo]

every working day: 10-12 hours. Amazing laptop so far.

Use my MBA M2 10/24/512 every day (4 to 7 hours). Since getting it I tend to not even use my MBP PRO MAX 32/32/1TB very much. Travel plans include taking the MBA and leaving the MBP home.

More than I thought I would be honest, at least 4 days out of the week. My main driver is still my iPad Air but I'm really enjoying the Macbook Air.
