11" non-retina MBA dimensions: 11.8" x 7.56" (30 x 19.2 cm)
M2 MBA: 11.97" x 8.46" (30.41 x 21.5 cm)
So, about 15%-ish "deeper" but you get a 13" screen instead of 11" ...

Yeah I've literally got Docker desktop running in the background with multiple containers running seamlessly on my M1 max. I think he's just looking for a place to vent.
You're saying it like you're the only one running docker. I use it daily too and it sucks. Containers needs rebooting a few times a day or the changes I make in the code won't work. Then there's the massive ram consumption. Emulated crap. Sorry if I hurt you feelings.
Docker is virtualisation, not emulation.

Exactly. I espcecially think his content is extremly well thought out. Like when he compared all the iPhone models from first to last.
What's remarkable is that he's been doing this for over half his life. (He's recently been critiquing some of his early work. Quarter-life crisis perhaps? But he's living proof that putting in the hours, being consistent, and yes a little lucky, really pays off over time.)
My inner cynic says that he's rather a living proof of survivorship bias of that approach. There's really a lot of talented people out there, he just did it at the right point of time, when not many thought of it. He risked and survived.

The UK pricing is £1,249, up from £999, so 24% extra for the better CPU, webcam & display[0]. A bit disappointed to see them sticking with 256GB SSD as the base, feel like 512GB should really be the standard nowadays. [0] https://www.apple.com/uk/mac/compare/?modelList=MacBook-Air-...
Better webcam? With every model they claim the webcam is better, but once I start Photo Booth I am thoroughly disappointed. In recent years webcam quality has even gone down -- the webcam in the M1 Macbook Air and the M1 Max Macbook Pro from 2020 and 2021 is worse than the webcam from the 2015 Macbook Pro!

I haven't experienced the microphones on the ARM MBP 16", but with its Intel predecessor. And there the microphones are excellent and not drowned by fan noise (assuming of course, you don't run huge compute tasks in the background during the calls, never encountered anyone doing so). I can't imagine the ARM MBP to be more noisy than the Intel one. But specifically: the MB Air doesn't have a fan, so you won't hear fan…
Even on the Intel i9 MBP 16" having a call is a huge compute task that will unleash the fans. Regardless of Zoom, Meet or whatever videoconferencing I use.
Would be the perfect laptop if it could hook up to 2 external monitors instead of just one. For that reason, I have to go for the M2 Pro.
If the M2 Air supported two displays, I’d have no reason whatsoever to buy the expensive MacBook Pro. The M1/M2 Air is already so ridiculously overpowered for my needs. Which is probably why the Air doesn’t support two displays. Sigh.

This comment makes me sigh. I know you will defend yourself with "what? I'm just stating a fact!" but saying stuff like this makes me really dislike you. I really like Apple products, does that make me a part of a cult? If yes, why? I wouldn't die for them, I wouldn't go through pain for them.
The fact that my comment on the internet makes you "really dislike me" is probably all the confirmation you need. This comment sent from my iPhone SE 2016.

That may all well be true, but nevertheless, virtually everyone understands and uses the “Mac vs PC” distinction.
Doesn't mean they should never be put right either. Just because something has been called something that it should always be called that. That's seems to be big thing in western society at the moment.
