Hi everyone. Looking for advice on how good of a switch this really is. I ordered a MacBook Air 15” M2 over the weekend as an “upgrade” to my MacBook Pro 2020 M1. I have read so many conflicting reports on if this is a good move or not. I was looking forward to a bigger screen and the color change. For reference, I work in mental health and will mainly use for EMR system and case management.
Thank you in advance for the help.

Performance wise you should see an increase of up to 15% with most applications. The M2 runs hotter than the M1, so for sustained load tasks, it may end up being a bit slower. However for the reasons you bought this machine it is still worth the upgrade. You get MagSafe and a bigger, better screen, better speakers and nicer design plus an increase in performance for day to day things. Depening on your use case the loss of the touchbar may also be a positive. If I’m guessing right your work will involve a lot of opening and closing of documents and the M2 Air will be able to handle it perfectly fine I think.
Thank you very much for the insight!
