NEW M2 MacBook Air 2022 Unboxing & Review!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enforeign consumer and today is MacBook Air day today we've got the newest and latest MacBook Air with Apple's new M2 Chip now we know that the M1 was a game changer when it came to laptops just PCS overall M1 changed the game and Apple's already on their second iteration and we'll talk more about this chip and where you can expect it to fall in line with all the other chips that Apple has come out with recently first let's unbox this guy take a look at it and check out this new color we've got the midnight color and I am very excited let's pop this thing open real quick here we have it ah and I like the new design now we'll get into this in just a second but I just love how flat this feels this feels really good yeah oh no it doesn't taper off anymore now all right Jay you twisted my arm I'll show you so here we have it oh man that midnight is so nice so now as you can see Jay it's one completely flat body it no longer you know gets really small at the end I'm I'm here for it though so we've got the official midnight magsafe 3 cable now there are four colors that the new Air comes in so we've got midnight we've got Starlight as well as space gray and silver so we've got four different colors and each one comes with a MAG safe that matches it so we've got our magsafe cable over here we've course have the standard paperwork quick start guide stickers oh are these are these midnight or are they just black that's the thing about midnight and under certain conditions it just looks like a black laptop but in the right lighting you can definitely see there's a lot of blue here so I think this is blue I think this is blue I think the other colors will have stickers that match okay so the charging brick now I know there's an option for yes so we got the charging brick with two USBC ports so that is an option if you want to get the two ports or you want the single one this is really nice because not only can you charge your MacBook but if you've got an iPhone that you want to charge as well you go ahead plug both into the same charger and boom you're charging it's a 35 watt charger so you'll definitely be able to fast charge your iPhone and you'll of course get normal charging speeds with your laptop but if you're using both at the same time it splits between the two so that's about it in the box of course but I am really excited for what we've got here so we've got new magsafe for the MacBook Air we've got the new color new charging for now let's take a look at this bad boy as we mentioned before it's got that new design so now it's got a completely flat body and on the inside oh yeah that's that good sound we've got a 13.6 inch display but I don't know if you guys can tell right now it's got that Notch I personally don't care about the notch after using the 16 inch for so long it doesn't matter they just added more real estate up top as you can see we've got smaller bezels around the screen and uh it looks really really good oh this is a yo midnight looks amazing with the screen on wow I'm I have not seen I don't think we've seen a color this dark on a MacBook in a long time and yeah yeah they got they had the black back in the day and then like that pure white but oh man oh Kevin have you seen one of the older MacBooks I was like seven maybe yeah now this this absolutely trumps space gray for sure that's one thing though these uh fingerprints I feel like you could see them a little bit more with a darker color like check that out you see that pretty easily oh yeah all right so for those of you curious about like what are all the changes with the new Macbook Air so of course we went over the color already we went over the fact that it has the 13.6 inch display with the I guess Notch uh we also have a 1080p camera in there so now this should be one of the best cameras you can get on a Mac currently we've got two Thunderbolt ports on the left side as well as that mag safe and on the right side we also have a headphone jack and our power button now also features Touch ID they also change the function keys they're now larger so instead of being like half Keys like we saw with like the arrow keys these are now full function keys which is definitely a welcome addition not to mention the both the biggest and most important thing M2 and we'll talk about M2 and what this thing is capable of after we try a few things with it all right you guys so we got to spend some time with the new Macbook Air got to put it through its Paces a bit um so of course we gotta talk about this M2 Chip and just how well it performs especially compared to the previous M1 now you guys know us we are video creators so naturally that's what we use to test the power of the M2 and with a seven minute 4K project we were able to export one of our videos in three minutes and 42 seconds and the same project with M1 on the previous MacBook Air finished at 4 minutes and 29 seconds and while it might not seem like a massive difference it's actually still really impressive to see this kind of improvement here now for some of you that might have just been some mumbo jumbo you don't know what these numbers mean if you're just want to know straight up what the hierarchy is which one is better than which so we've got the M1 at the base since it's still available we'll still count it and then we have the direct successor the M2 I think goes right above that and then we start seeing the other chips like the M1 Pro M1 Max and then M1 Ultra so those higher end chips that we saw in like the MacBook Pros the new Mac Studios those are all going to be still at the top of the food chain right now but when it comes to the air getting a new version of itself uh this is a pretty big upgrade I honestly feel like with these new Chips if I had to advise somebody looking to buy a new laptop and they asked me hey is the M2 good is a very easy yes like for everyday people this is all you need honestly even if you wanted to do a little bit more these are powerful enough that if you did want to get into video editing photo editing anything professional like you're gonna be able to do it with this and I think it isn't until you get to like the really high professional stage that you might start looking into some of the higher tier options that apple offers so M2 does what any successor should do and that's provide more power and pretty much the same efficiency with a completely new body so this one does have a bigger display has more power but it still gives you the same amount of battery life as the original MacBook Air so you're not going to be missing out on the battery side of things which is great because you still benefit with all of the other things that M2 brings as well as that big display now that's M2 but let's talk about this MacBook Air just kind of owning it right so I really really like the midnight color but I will say this thing is a fingerprint magnet you guys so with the lighter MacBooks you really couldn't see fingerprints to this degree but I feel like on the dark ones you uh you absolutely you can't miss it oh Jay Jay's gonna there you go she's got the magic hands for this kind of stuff but yeah you'll definitely be noticing a lot more fingerprints on this darker midnight color is that enough to deter you from buying one that's up to you personally I would still buy it would it drive me a little bit crazy because I I'm I'm the kind of guy who's gonna bust out the microfiber wipe it down whenever I see the fingerprints but I think the color is so good it's worth it thank you Jay you read my mind see I gotta wait you gotta wait for me to finish but I also just like the fact that this new liquid Retina display is a bigger display 13.6 inches versus the original 13.3 so you get a bigger display brighter than the previous version as well and the sound that comes from this is also really impressive even though this is a really thin laptop it's got four speakers built into it so audio comes in very clearly very clean you know you've also got the upgraded uh FaceTime camera so you got better quality there and all spatial audio is also pretty impressive with that four speaker system within here spatial audio content like that you'll find on like Apple TV plus it's actually a pretty cool experience it's a lot better than I would have originally given it credit for until like I really sat down and tried it it sounds pretty impressive not to mention having magsafe is a really nice addition here because it does open up the two Thunderbolt ports for accessories or anything else you might want to do that is huge I think but like with most of the Apple devices with their new silicon this is a very easy device to recommend I think if someone's looking to purchase a laptop and they're like I want to get the MacBook Air but I don't know listen it's gonna do everything you wanted to do it's just a matter of do you want M1 or do you want M2 the M1 is still very very capable I've said it before but I recently purchased the M1 MacBook Air for my dad and I don't have any regrets I know he's not going to take advantages of all the stuff that the new Macbook Air has so I'm fine with that because I can still walk away knowing he has a really good device with great battery life can handle anything he's going to do on it but if you want a little bit more maybe you just want the newer design maybe you want the newer colors you want the mag safe if you've got kids running around you don't want to drop your laptop while working from home you got a really really good option here it starts at 200 bucks more than this guy and I do feel like it is completely worth the money you guys saw just how much power it had from our video editing test this thing is extremely capable and it's something that even we could use here with no problem just to get our work done but how about wraps It Up Guys hopefully this helped you make a decision if it did be the cool guy girl that gives this video a thumbs up and catch you guys in the next one till then it's your average consumer peace do we like the color guys now is it do you do you care about the fingerprints you care would that huh I hear that would that stop you from buying it though it would stop you what about you Jay yeah it's three to one sorry don't it's also give yourself away that's fine for me\n"
