My jaw was dropping as I started reading that second paragraph because it's unimaginable that someone would regret an m2 air.
I got a refurb 8gb/256gb m2 air somewhat impulsively when in the market for a use-on-the-couch laptop. It is NICE. My real laptop now never leaves the dock.
My Macbook Air M2 is the exact opposite of that. Best purchase of the past few years, without a doubt.
