May 15, 2021. 4. 1. Aug 14, 2022. #1. I have read that the 256GB MacBook Air has a slower SSD speed than units with a higher storage capacity. I am about to order a MacBook Air. I am selecting the upgraded GPU with 10 cores and 16GB RAM. I am unsure as to whether or not to upgrade the storage to 512GB or save the money.Apple aims the "Pro" at those people. Yet in some aspects, a base M1 MacBook Air beats it, due to the SSD speed. The Max Tech video shows that, in addition to major slowdowns with photo and video work, there are noticeable delays just with web browsing, due to the slower swap speed: Does 512GB SSD FIX the M2 MacBook Pro?
M2 15" MacBook Air with 24GB ram and 1/2TO SSD is absolutely not a good deal but nevertheless a wonderful machine. It is that simple. Moneywise, the good deals are the base Macbook pro 14" and the maxed out 16" Macbook pro.
