Agreed, personally think they're going in the direction of too many offerings again - not sure why they don't stick to the single Air size, 13/16 for the pro.

Yeh, seems weird to me too. It’s gets too confusing. Similar to the iPad line up.

Common sense says I should really get a MBA but my nutjob brain really wants a Pro for the mini LED display.
You don’t need it. Get the MBA.
they are nice machines but I think that the M2 Air still has a nice screen on it tbh, im happy with it.
My M1 256GB SSD / 8GB RAM MBA is amazing. I was worried it would be underpowered, especially when it only came with 8GB of RAM, but honestly, it does everything I need.
exactly. I was a little concerned about the 8gb RAM, but for my use case, never had an issue. on anything tbh.

Same here.

I've deliberated, cogitated and digested your thoughts.
Nah, can't do it. I've got a Pro phone, a Pro watch (Ultra) and I need the Pro Macbook to continue the theme. LMAO. But I will compromise and get the 14" 512GB SSD version instead of 16" 1TB.

Having both, my personal Air and a works 16" Pro. The Pro's screen is lovely, especially with anything HDR related. Not saying the MBA screen is bad cos its good, but it has nothing on the Pros.I've deliberated, cogitated and digested your thoughts.

I'm lucky to have both to play (and work) with. What I will say against the Pro is boy its heavy beast.
It’s lighter than the M1 Air. I think it’s the lightest non 11” Air for a looooooong time.
i know it wasnt received well, but I lovefd the overall features on the 12" Retina MB. Hope the bring something like it back..but I wouldnt hold my breath.
Completely agree, I loved the form factor of the 12” MB and I think they could easily put the lowest spec Mx CPU in one that size. It’d give good performance in a very compact package. The 12” MacBook was always ridiculously underpowered, I had the m7 version which got hot and then throttled.
With the recent launch of the M3 MacBook Air, the M2 is now included in the EPP discount thing, so if anyone gets that through their employer, it's worth a look. The base model M2 MBA is £939 now which is a very good price.
