Choose Carefully – Apple MacBook Air M2 vs M1



If you already have an M1 MacBook Air, should you upgrade? If you don’t have one, should you go straight to M2?

In this video, I unbox the M2 MacBook Air and then cover the key differences between them – before explaining why I recommend most people should stick with the M1.
