During its annual World Wide Developers Conference, Apple unveiled its overhauled MacBook Air powered by the newly announced M2 chip. It offers a completely new design, Magsafe charging and exemplary battery life. Meanwhile, the 13-inch MacBook Pro also got a taste of the M2 chip.
The new MacBook Air has a flatter design and looks much sleeker at 11mm thick and weighing 2.7lbs (1.22kg). The laptop remains fanless and comes with a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display with 500 nits of brightness and 1 billion colors. Also, the webcam has been updated to 1080p.
The MacBook Air gets the Magic Keyboard with a larger function key row and now supports MagSafe charging. Plus, you’ve got two USB-C ports and a 3.5mm combo audio jack.
Battery life is rated for 18 hours of video playback. The new MacBook Air also has a newly designed four speaker system built into the chassis, which should be a major step up from the previous design.
The MacBook Air M2 will be available in Space Gray, Silver, Midnight Blue, and Star Gold and will come with a matching MagSafe charging cable. It is also upgraded to support fast charging with the 67W USB-C adapter.
It will be available starting in July for $ 1,199 and can be configured with up to 2TB of SSD storage and up to 24GB of memory. Meanwhile, the MacBook Air M1 will remain available starting at $ 999.
Meanwhile, the 13-inch MacBook Pro remains unchanged besides the new chipset with its thick bezel display and Apple keyboard with Touch Bar. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with M2 starts at $ 1,299.
