My thoughts on the whole M2 MacBook SSD Issue. This video is not to defend Apple or completely bash them. Do I think what Apple did is justified? No. Whether its for better margins or supply chain issues, the result is, there are slower SSDs in the base M2 products this year. Does that make the entire product worse than the M1 Air? No. My only real issue with this entire fiasco is the Pro model is also handicapped as well. Apple can't market a Pro level machine when entry-level models from previous generations are doing more. The Air isn't meant to be used for professional work, let alone transferring tens of hundreds of GIGS of data, this probably isn't the product for you. It's even worse that a more expensive option marketed for PROS is still facing this issue so you're options are to go back to M1 with a hit on performance or pay an extra $200 for the sake of getting what you deserve. Ultimately, don't judge others for what they buy. Not everybody NEEDS what you believe they need. The product overall is still solid. All love in the comments please.
