It has been exactly two weeks since I used M2 Air exclusives. I have never turned off my M1 Pro until now. In 2022, I thought the M1 Pro was a performance beast. I have built apps and run many emulating apps for iOS and Android. I did everything with X code.

In this article, I'll go through some considerations when doing Software development on M1 and M2 Air.

As a software engineer, I choose the best tools for my job. I was looking for a machine that could provide me, with the best experience possible, and M1 MacBook Pro 2020 has been working perfectly.

In 2022, Apple released the Macbook M2 Air. At first glance, it seems as though M2 Air will succeed over M1 in every way.

But first, let’s examine the features of the M2 Air.

The M2 MacBook Air 2022 comes with a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, which is perfect for coding, development, and many other tasks. It also has a powerful 8-core processor and a 10-core GPU that is faster than previous generations, so it can handle complex tasks without slowing down. The battery life on this laptop lasts around 18 hours, which is more than enough for me to get through my day and have some leftovers at the end of it.
