After we tested the basic model, we now also got our hands on the faster version of the new MacBook Air with 16 GB of RAM, a large 1-TB SSD, and the faster 10-core GPU version of the M2 and ran it through our tests. However, the graphics update is particularly disappointing, since the passively cooled MacBook Air M2 needs to throttle its performance quickly.

The M2 is not as efficient as the M1. After almost two years, the MacBook Air M1 finally gets a successor that is specifically designed for Apple’s own silicon.
