Review: 2022 MacBook Air M2 256GB 8GB Ram Space Grey - I am a Windows user. I have multiple PCs and laptops, but I use Mac sometimes for my work, and I have been using a MacBook Pro 13" 2017. I wanted to upgrade it and found this M2 for a reasonable price during sales, and it’s actually a great upgrade from my old Mac. It’s light, quick, doesn’t get hot, and performs everything I need very smoothly. I extremely recommend it for normal use and for students. My only advice is if you can get the 512GB, you should get it because the writing and reading SSD speed is higher than the 256GB version. And about the RAM, it’s on you. For my lightly used Mac, 8 GB is enough, but having a 16 GB will always be a better choice, and the device will serve you more. The device is original, of course, and arrived in excellent condition, wrapped and packaged. Be sure the seller is desertcart before purchasing to be on the safe side. You will get 1 year Apple limited warranty and you will have 60 days to purchase AppleCare+.
Review: An amazing laptop with a stunning design - I upgraded from a MacBook Pro 2017 i5 to this MacBook Air and the difference is very noticeable. It's way faster (even considering I had just formatted my MBP), the screen is even better, the keyboard is amazing to type on (I like it even more than on the new MacBook Pros). Midnight colour attracts fingerprints yes, but you can get past it very quickly and it makes up for it in beauty. I kept the base 8gb of RAM which gave me some issues in my MacBook Pro but here with the M2 it just works seamlessly, at least for everyday use (2 browsers open with 10-20 tabs, several other apps like WA, slack, Spotify, OneNote, Mail, etc).

## Features

- M2 chip for incredible performance
- 8-core CPU and up to 10-core GPU to power through complex tasks
- 16-core Neural Engine for advanced machine learning tasks
- Up to 24GB of unified memory makes everything you do fast and fluid

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first Mac - no regrets!
*by M***L on 7 September 2024*

The only thing I regret is not waiting till the price went down to 2,999AED. Other than that, I’m loving it (so far)! So far I have used it for work (multiple tabs open, browsing/word processing/printing/Zoom meetings), downloads and YouTube/internet video and music streaming. Hasn’t heated up at all, has been very fast and the battery life has been nothing short of amazing. Networking it for internet/intranet and wireless printing at work was a breeze compared to the headache that was my Windows laptop. Two thumbs up.
