Ask HN: Anyone Using MacBook Air M2 24GB for Developement? by gls2ro
I am planning to change my Macbook as it is old and Intel-based.
Current problems:
– Cannot do Video calls with share screen – live coding – because it gets throttled
– Cannot use both laptop display and external monitor – because it gets throttled
I have an external fan that I use to be able to do serious work. The current laptop has 64GB of RAM, but I don't think RAM is the issue.
I am considering buying a MacBook Air 15 with 24GB because I want to carry something light as I have back pain.
So my question is:
– If you are using MacBook Air M2 for development, what are you running on, and did you encounter any issues?
I am concerned about it being fanless and, thus, probably going easy to throttle.
