Apple unveils all-new MacBook Air, supercharged by the new M2 chip
The 24GB unified memory is a really nice upgrade (the M1 MBA has 8GB upgradeable to 16GB). The CPU/GPU upgrades are predictable and wlecome but the memory is huge.<p>A lot of development isn't CPU bound but is memory bound or at least can really benefit from more memory. This upgrade makes the MBA an entirely viable dev machine for many workloads.<p>I have a MBP (Intel) but it's expensive. Getting a viable machine for $1200 would be great. You feel less bad about losing it or breaking it or upgrading it more often.<p>Really happy to see this.<p>As an aside, having 8GB of <i>unified</i> memory even as an option in 2022 is a joke. It should just be 16Gb minimum.
