The good news is that Apple is keeping the M1-powered MacBook Air in the lineup at its $1,000 starting price. With all of that said, though, many people don't need all those extras, especially at a $200 premium. Battery life is up to 18 hours of video playback and with an optional 67-watt power adapter it can charge up to 50% in 30 minutes. Apple said with the new M2 chip, Final Cut Pro performance is nearly 40% faster than on the M1 Air and Photoshop is up to 20% faster. The MacBook Air M2 unsurprisingly is expected to deliver better performance.

If video call quality is important to you, which is probably a "yes" for everyone at this point, going with the M2-based Air gets you a higher-resolution 1080p webcam along with three mics and a four-speaker sound system.
The laptop is just 11.3 millimeters thick and weighs only 2.7 pounds (1.2 kilograms) - a touch lighter than the M1 version. However, the updated Air does have MagSafe charging.īuilt around a larger 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, the MacBook Air M2 has a new fanless body available in four colors: silver, space gray, starlight and midnight.
The 2022 Air didn't receive all of the additional ports of the 2021 Pro models: There's no SD card slot, it doesn't get an HDMI output for an external display and it has just two USB-C Thunderbolt ports. The MacBook Air M2's design changes from the tapered wedge look of the 2020 and earlier models to more of a blocky slab, more like the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops from late 2021.
