Look, I am not one to shy away from the new and shiny, and if you are someone who wants to pick up the new MacBook Air with the M2 chip, then more power to you — pun intended. The great thing is, regardless of the M2 chip, the new MacBook Air looks incredible.

It seems like many are misremembering the enormous jump from Intel to M1. Going from Intel to M1 was considerable but it feels like some publications only want to remember the vast improvements without the context.
Apple coming out with their own silicon had to provide a huge step forward when it comes to the future of their computer lineup versus getting them from…
