Apple has ventured into a new category of YouTube videos by releasing a 90-minute “Study With Me” session, featuring the 15-inch M2 MacBook Air. The video is designed to keep users focused on their studies and away from distractions.
This unique video showcases actress and University of Southern California student, Storm Reid, as she delves into a concentrated study session using the Pomodoro technique.

Powered by the M2 chip, the 2023 MacBook Air features a remarkably thin and light design. It measures 11.5mm in thickness and weighs.3 pounds, making it 40% thinner and 0.5 pounds lighter than a comparable PC laptop.
As for other specifications, the M2 MacBook Air boasts a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display with exceptional brightness, a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, and an advanced audio system with Spatial Audio support.

Storm Reid, known for her role in Euphoria, kicks off the session with a warm welcome to her viewers, setting the stage for an engaging and productive study session. She introduces the Pomodoro technique, a time management approach involving 25-minute study sessions and 5-minute breaks. The onscreen timer counts down each session, providing a sense of structure and focus.

Notably, Apple had the chance to include advertisements in this “Study With Me” video but made the interesting decision to keep it advertisement-free. Instead, the tech giant chose to focus on promoting the M2 MacBook Air in the video’s description, highlighting its features and its suitability for educational use.
In the video description, Apple also underlines its dedication to education by offering educational pricing in its stores worldwide. Additionally, they provide a helpful list of chapters, allowing viewers to break down the 90-minute session into smaller, more manageable sections.
