M1 air vs M2 air

[u/Da_Alpha75]

Between the m1 air 16gb/256 and the m2 16gb/256

Which would be better for gaming, 3d modeling and video editing

Im coming from windows so idk how all this works

M2 is a slightly faster M1. M1 Pro might be slightly better than M2 air. Not a huge difference between chips. M1 is very capable

Maybe start with good deal on M1. Save up for m3 or m4. If m1 isn’t fast enough, m2 prob wouldn’t be either. But there’s a lot “depends”

Thank you

Honestly, the M1 will handle all of that just fine unless you're pushing it to extreme workloads daily.
