This is my first Mac but not my first Apple product. I did my research and decided that the Air was the right model for me as I don't do a lot of video editing, so didn't need the Pro model and the new M2 chip looked more capable of dealing anything I could throw at it. The M2 Mac Air looks stunning and feels nearly as light as my iPad Pro with the keyboard, the keyboard on the Air is fantastic and the typing feels much better than my work surface pro 3 laptop. Being Apple everything just connected and synced perfectly which was one of the reasons for getting a Mac, The battery life is exactly as stated, great, The boot up speed is super quick and the screen is very clear, I've only used it inside so don't have to turn the brightness up past half way. Being fan less it is silent and I haven't felt it getting warm at all but I haven't really pushed it but compared to my surface pro 3 where the fan cuts in quite often whilst doing similar tasks I'm really impressed. But I've had some issues getting used to menu paths etc as I've only ever worked on windows based machines but I did think having used Apple products for years it would be easier but somethings are quite different from Windows, also a lot of the Apps are either iPhone or iPad versions so not compatible with Mac, so apps like Netflix & Disney work through safari and you can make a shortcut on your desktop but no App! Overall though I'm very happy with M2 MacBook Air.
