The completely redesigned MacBook Air M2 is everything we want: MagSafe, lightweight and four colors

After many months of rumours, the new MacBook Air is finally coming true . Apple has presented it during WWDC 2022 , honoring that exception in the rule that is to present hardware at an event focused on software developers.

New design and M2 chip to become the world’s Mac

As rumored, the MacBook Air comes with a revamped design that ends the teardrop shape that we’ve traditionally seen on this laptop. From now on, straight and sober forms are taken along with a new range of colors similar to what we saw last year with the iMac M1.

Inside, the M2 chip calls for being a rather linear successor to the M1 adding more graphics cores (9 or even 10) with a bit more CPU core efficiency. The final performance is 20% more than on the M1 chip and we are still without a fan. Therefore, the silence of the MacBook Air is going to be total.

At the storage level, we start from 256 GB and we can reach 2 TB of storage, including RAM of up to 24 GB. The minimum in that aspect is still 8 GB.

The screen is 13.6 inches and has 500 nits of brightness, capable of capturing more than a billion colors. There is a 1080p FaceTime camera (yes, with a notch ) capable of detecting low light environments much better. Four speakers spread throughout the case are responsible for providing spatial audio.

This new MacBook Air also inherits the MagSafe 3 port from the MacBook Pro, in addition to the two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports. Another good news is that the 3.5mm audio jack is preserved. Charging can be done from 0% to 80% in 20 minutes thanks to a new internal adapter.

MacBook Air M2: price, availability, and release date

The new MacBook Air starts at 1,519 euros (it is noted that the dollar is powerful compared to the euro) for the model with 8 GB of memory, 8-core GPU, and 256 GB of storage. The model with 10 GPU cores and 512 GB of storage starts at 1,869 euros. The model with the M1 chip with a 7-core GPU continues to be sold for 1,219 euros. The release is scheduled for July.
