It's finally here, the redesigned 2022 MacBook Air looks unlike any other MacBook Air before it. Gone is the iconic wedge design. You could say it looks like a thinner 14-inch MacBook Pro.
When you open the lid, you are greeted by a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display. It's not an OLED display, but as far as LCD displays go, it still looks pretty fantastic. 500 nits of brightness means it gets sufficiently bright, a resolution of 2560 x 1664 pixels means it's sharp, and P3 colour support means vivid colours.
There is a notch in the middle of the top of the display. For most people, it's actually less of an issue than you might think it is. It's annoying only if you use menu bar apps (iStat Menu and Music Bar, in case you were wondering) like me. But even I got over it after a few days.
Crucially, the webcam is a new 1080p unit. The hardware is identical to the one in the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros except that it benefits from having the more advanced ISP (image signal processor) of the M2 chip.
