Thoughts on the base model of the M2 MacBook Air? Its looking like Cyber Monday may be the last chance to get a good MB before the prices are hiked when the next models come out, looking at what's happened with iPad, iPhone, MB Pro etc.
By base model I mean 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD 13in screen.
Haven't played FM since 19, but figure that's the most heavy-duty task I'd ever use it for. I've had a 2012 Air for the last decade, keeping it one an older software that can still run the 32-bit FMs and its generally fine for all my Internet needs (but struggles to wake up at under 40% battery in winter). My usual FM db on 19 was up to 12 leagues (4 levels in where I'm based, if available, plus a bunch of top EU ones) in a Medium database for around 35,000 players. The fan would run heavily the entire time the app was open, and I'd have to balance it on my left thigh so that hot bit wasn't touching anything. Given the new Air doesn't have a fan and definitely isn't for "gaming" (which I don't think FM counts as in this context), does it overheat? Allow you to comfortably run a large db? Or any other way you can think of explaining the pros/cons of it (other than the price haha, its a lot but I like nice things).
Also if anyone has used the Midnight one, does it still look ok? As in the review I read it looked very fingerprint-y from a day's use.
