16GB and 1TB SSD available in midnight at apple upper west side. Manhattan New York now.

Depends on the store. A lot of them don't have any in that config.

Atlanta has that config in store. That's how I was able top pick one up.

Portland Washington Square had that config in Starlight. Had. They don't have it now. But I do. 😀

that's the price of 14 inch MacBook Pro. I was thinking about that config but just have a hard time paying that much for an air with a inferior screen than my 16 inch m1

I also have a m1max 16.2 with that killer screen. After comparing both side by side. The HDR areas are not that inferior on the m2 MacBook Air. It’s certainly better than the recent studio display when showing HDR.

When set at rec.709. HDR videos are a treat to watch on the M2 MacBook Air.

I have been using a 512GB unit before getting this 1TB version.

That said. I bought this overall for the portability. The 16.2 can stay home with the Mac Pro.

This sounds much like my scenario. Love the 16 M1 Max, but it is too heavy to tote around in the field really. If I were going somewhere for a long while, I'd bring it but it mostly acts as my desktop. The M2 screen is MUCH better than I thought it was going to be. I really don't miss the 16" screen that much and the portability is amazing.

Watching that fireworks scene of The Gray Man on Netflix with the M2 MacBook Air Midnight on the plane was TERRIFIC.
The almost matt black frame, and the black keyboard, all do not reflect the overhead, window slit, or aisle stray lights. The 13.6 screen looked like a mini theater flowing a foot in front. With my Airpod Pros, this is great for NY-LA, or NY-London.

I recommend showing off some k-pop YouTube videos, especially from Blackpink and mamamoo on the m2 MacBook Air.

Exactly my configuration. Loving it so far. Two weeks as of today.
