Hello everyone, I'm Apple Dad.
We will now talk about the
M2 MacBook Air.
Apple has finally launched the
first one is the M2 processor. The second one is the
newly
designed MacBook Air
. Together, many audiences have asked I said that
this year 's M2 MacBook Air
is very worth buying
. If he wants to buy it
, how should the equipment be selected?
It has different levels
and what should be added to
it. Based on its price range,
I will give you one today.
My own suggestion is suitable for you,
but it may not be suitable for everyone
. It is my own opinion. OK
if you like this kind of video,
please remember to subscribe to the channel,
press the little bell, like and share
, then let's get started
. OK first, let's open this There is
an M2 MacBook Air on the page.
Let's take a look at its equipment.
In this case, I personally think that
there is no need to consider the M1 version because
I think its price difference is actually quite small.
I personally think that if
in this situation The next one is to buy the new
version of the MacBook Air , don't buy the old
M2. Besides the redesign,
it has more colors to choose from,
and it has a bigger
screen, and the screen is better.
At the same time, it adds this more efficient processing.
Then there is this Media engine
in it, which is a video codec .
I think it is very worthwhile for everyone to buy it.
OK
, then let's look at these two different versions.
OK, although I recommend buying M2 version,
but it doesn't mean that M1 can't be bought
. If you can find a good deal,
or some may be out of stock or second-hand
, you can buy it and you can trust it. Of course,
you can still get a very good deal. If you
buy an M1
or you just know your use case,
it
doesn't matter if it's an old design or it has a smaller screen
or it may
not have the Media engine in
it , it's not that important to you.
Of course, you can also buy it. Fortunately
, in the M2, you can see that when you open it,
you
will see these two different versions.
It is an 8-core CPU
with an 8-core GPU.
This is the most entry-level version,
and then there are The 8GB unified memory
256GB SSD
is another advanced version
. The only difference
is its 10-core GPU
and its 512GB SSD.
In fact, what we focus on is its
8-core GPU and 10-core GPU. In
the case of
GPU , I can personally say that
if you are a user of this
version of MacBook Air,
the difference between the two core GPUs will
not make a big difference in your use situation,
so I will
My personal suggestion is
to
just look at the 8-core version without worrying about the 10-core version. It's
good because if the MacBook Air
is enough for you, you may even have some
people with light image processing or even moderate image processing.
In fact, this equipment is very enough for you
, then I talk about image processing, for example,
you may be like me. It
is often
necessary to cut, lightly cut,
or even 4K video clips,
then the gap between the GPUs
will not have an obvious gap,
because they are actually the most important in
the image processing encoder in
it . Part of it is that both of them have it,
and it seems that there is
no difference in specifications or performance between these two video encoders.
My personal suggestion
is to save the price difference first
and choose one. The most entry-level version is selected first. At
this time, you can ignore the
price of the extra 2 GPUs.
It forces you to add things and
you can completely spend the money where
you think you need to spend.
Of course As you can see here, the price of
upgrading
this GPU is $3,000.
Personally, I don’t think it is necessary to look at this part
. Well , the next place is the unified memory.
I suggest at least 16GB
, although it is said that Apple’s unified memory
It is very cost-effective because
they do it in the processor,
but I still think it
is worth the $6,000 for your 16GB option.
Whether
you are using it for general use,
you may have to open a lot of word processing files at the same time
or
watch some multimedia situations.
Next ,
if you buy a computer,
it is unlikely that you will only use it for a year or two. If
you want to use it for a long time,
I think it is a better choice to add
at least 16GB first. In the case of storage devices, although it is actually possible now
External but Apple's built-in SSD is very fast,
so if you talk about storage,
you may think that it is not very convenient to say
that you need to connect an external hard drive.
Proportionally speaking, its price is very high, but
sometimes you put it directly in the computer, which
is actually very
convenient . For example, when I go out by myself
, I bring a computer.
Sometimes
I put a lot of clippings directly in it. In this case,
for me, I don't need to plug in an external hard drive,
I just take it out and
I can directly make some clips.
Maybe when the external hard drive wants me to back up files,
I'll put it on and connect it. In
this
case, I think it actually has its convenience,
but at the same time, it also depends on your usage.
If you are not someone who often takes a computer out and
needs to work outside, you
may choose an external hard drive.
Yes For you, it will be a more cost-effective choice.
For me , I think 512GB will be more than enough
, but this depends on each person's own needs.
Let's
go to the next place,
this power supply. Do you
want to do 30W 35W or 67W this part
, there is no difference how to choose between the two.
You can also choose this dual USB-C charger,
or even save the money.
In fact, there are many such possible gallium nitrides out there,
maybe three holes and four holes
, there are many choices,
or even like I have before I have introduced the
mobile power gallium nitride
, and at the same time, it has its own charging cable
and two charging holes,
so it can charge four devices.
I think this money may be put on
those gallium nitrides from different brands.
The charger will be a more cost-effective choice
because it has a wide range of practicability. For
Apple , it is either a single device or
a maximum of two devices,
and its charging wattage is not very high,
so I don't think it is very cost
-effective.
Well, look at it this way.
If we just use the most basic version and add it as a 16GB memory storage
device, if you think you can use an external storage device,
then you
don't need to touch it. The starting price is only $43,900
relatively here . If you have to choose this
10-core GPU
and match it with 512GB of memory,
then its price will be a few thousand dollars higher.
Will you be able to use these thousands of dollars?
Maybe buy
an external hard drive, or Maybe buy some mice
or other equipment,
maybe this money is enough for you
, so let's look back now.
This other version,
the 10-core GPU
and the 512GB SSD
, you can put this memory
storage device this Part of it is saved,
and the part that we just added money is added to
the place of unified
memory. There is no way to use the place of unified memory
to add it later, so
I think the money spent on that is more worthwhile, and
I think it is the least worth buying.
Or the way you shouldn't buy it is to say that
you originally thought that
the specification of the MacBook Air is enough for you,
and then you see it as a 10-core GPU
and you feel that it is more cost-effective
because it has more SSDs.
This is relatively expensive by $9,000
and then you click in and
then you hear people say 8GB may not be enough
You have to add 16GB
and then you look at it like
this and it becomes $52,900 so
we can easily put it here In this case, get rid
of the price trap of entering Apple,
because if it is $52,900, a
lot of people may tell you
or maybe I will tell you that it
seems like a little bit of money.
Do you go to see the MacBook Pro of the M1 Pro
instead? It's more cost-effective . It seems that
you can buy a higher-level processor
and then M1 Pro if you don't have a few thousand dollars to make up for
it, so it will bring you the price step by step.
In fact, I feel like I just said,
even if it is medium
If you are a light user and
you want to use video editing,
I believe that the most entry-level MacBook Air
is very, very sufficient for you.
Of course, if you are really a heavy user,
this is a professional video user
. If you really have
video editing needs,
you need to see the M1 Pro
or M1 Max version.
Otherwise ,
if you are a MacBook Air person, I
suggest that you just
buy from this version. It's good to get up.
Finally, I will share
my thoughts on the M2 MacBook Air. I personally think that Apple launched
this M2 version of the MacBook Air during this period
. Strictly speaking, I think the M2 is not another
new generation of chips . It
is an enhanced version of the M1 chip. This
is a bit different from the point that many people may have expected that
it will really be a new generation , whether it is 4nm
or its process will have a big gap,
but it is not .
It means that it is not worth
buying , but I think it is actually worth buying
because it is the first time to redesign the MacBook Air
and then match the M2 processor,
so overall I think
it is a very sincere update. I think everyone
And don't think that because
it's not really a new generation chip and do
n't buy it, because
then you actually use the above requirements,
it may not make any real sense whether
it is a new generation chip
that you really want to use.
Will
it have a big impact on the needs of the computer?
Everyone can think about this.
I think that something like a computer is that
if you really need it, you should buy it early and enjoy
it early. Don’t think too much about
it. It's a generation, it's really
a new process processor to buy
and then keep waiting. I
personally think this is the one that I highly recommend to many people to buy,
even if you are the first time to start a Mac.
I think this one is also very suitable for you
