Apple MacBook Air M2

IN 2008, Steven Jobs pulled out the first MacBook Air out of a slim office envelope.

It created an enduring image of how slim and light Apple's MacBook Air series has remained.

The wedge-shaped form has finally made way for an all-new design language. This is probably the biggest design overhaul of the MacBook Air. The new Air is just 11.3mm thin and is one of our favourite ultra-books.

It weighs around 1.2kg, is thin from every angle and crafted with a durable, all-aluminium unibody enclosure that feels incredibly solid. The Air features a silent, fanless design and comes in multiple shades including a striking new Midnight option.

Apple's new M2 chip is at the heart of the new Air. This chip starts the next generation of Apple silicon for the Mac, taking the breakthrough performance, power efficiency, and capabilities of M1 even further. This laptop features a more powerful 8-core CPU and up to 10-core GPU, so you can get more done faster.

Aside from the raw power you also get a gorgeous 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, which has been expanded closer to the sides and up around the camera to make room for the menu bar.

It's a larger display with much thinner borders and is 25 percent brighter than before.

This striking display is complemented by a four-speaker sound system and a new 1080p FaceTime HD camera with twice the resolution and low-light performance of the previous generation. And then there's 18-hour battery life.
