Apple Silicon is really powerful!ĭuring that heavy usage I had no issue with heat whatsoever and I only got one time my M2 Air overheated but that problem was caused by an app that monitors system stats that got deleted soon after the incident.ġ8h screen time with normal usage. So I can confidently say it will handles everything.

I ran VsCode, Safari (~10 Tabs), Shapr3d, Minecraft, Whatsapp (very Ram hungry), Telegram, Notability at the same time without beach ball. In the end it boils down to my final question: With all things considered is MBP's plus features (such as the monitor, speaker, cooling and performance) worth the price difference (300 dollars in my country) ?Ĭurrent Macbook Air M2 User with (16GB Ram, 512GB SSD, 10Core GPU) since the end of November 2022 Occasional gaming (nothing triple A, but games like LoL/Dota maybe)ġ-I would like to know whether the air can handle the programs above well, since I never had a fanless laptop before I'm afraid that it can get pretty hot.Ģ-Besides the heat question, is the m2 chip enough to run above programs well, or would I get constant "beach balls" while I'm working ?ģ-It has been a while since the m2 MBA has been out, how was your experience with the battery life until now ?

Using applications like Sketch and Figma. Using excel for bookkeeping and budget planning. I am planning on selling my gaming laptop in order to purchase my first MacBook, but I am torn whether to purchase the MBA m2 or MBP m2 pro.
