![]() ![]() The way I’m going to do this is by using the Picture by Picture setting on the screen to act as if I had 2, smaller 27” monitors. ![]() I also want to check if this machine can do MULTIPLE monitors with the use of adapters. I gave an M1 Macbook Air to someone I’ve hired recently and they were blown away by how good the speakers are in the M1, but the M2 has 2 additional speakers, so it should be errr, double as good - however when I tested them, you could clearly hear a difference with the M1 Macbook Pro sounding like there's a speaker system sitting on the desk. The question I’m going to answer though is whether the M2 Macbook Air can drive a 49” Ultrawide, 5120 by 1440 screen like mine, so let’s just hook this thing up and see what it does. Which for a laptop that’s well over the $1000 price point, I feel is a bit cheeky, considering they are definitely capable of doing so. One of the downsides about the M2 Macbook Air, and the M1 had it too, was that it can only drive a single external display. I’m going to get started with downloading the benchmark tools as well as installing Final Cut pro ready to edit the video - but in the meantime, a question I’ve been asked a few times already is around the external monitor capability. In about 2 weeks I’ll also have the base spec model arriving, with 512GB and the 16GB Upgrade so I should be able to compare both the base spec and the top-spec - so if you have any questions or specific comparisons you want to see then throw those in the comments down below! For my full review which will be coming soon. So we’re going to be testing that out today too. I of course wanted to upgrade the storage because that 256Gb of storage in a laptop nowadays is crazy small, considering that’s what most phones come with now as standard.Īnd there is of course HUGE controversy around the 256GB model being much slower than even the M1 Macbook Air 256GB Model. It also sucked the battery life pretty fast. Now the reason why I went for the higher spec with this order was first, I did want those additional 2 GPU cores because I was at an event last week where I needed to edit some video quickly, and I was about a 3-hour drive away from home, and exporting a 30-minute video on the old M1 Macbook Air was really slow, it took like, half an hour. I’ve never seen, touched, or used one of these new M1 Pro Macbooks, but it’s here, so we might as well compare! So I have my M1 Macbook Air, the M2 Macbook Air, and a currently unopened, M1 Pro Macbook pro. So a quick comparison between the two, a few benchmark tests, and final cut export tests, I’m going to edit a video on the new Macbook Air, and also a bit of rapid-fire Q&A to see if we can answer some of your questions. I'm going to compare this machine, and my M1 Mac Mini, which I use constantly, for hours, every single day. So, I've got the brand new M2 Macbook Air which is the higher spec model, and today I want to do a quick unboxing, some first impressions, and a comparison to my current machine of choice the M1 Macbook Air. ![]()
