The old Air was thinner at the front, but thicker at the rear. The chassis height is identical at the front and the rear, and the new Air is extremely thin at just 11.3 mm. Apple MacBook Air M1 Entry Review (Apple M1, 7-Core GPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD)Īpple does not use the familiar design of the old MacBook Air with the wedge-shaped base unit anymore and the basic design of the new MacBook Air M2 is no similar to the other MacBook models.Apple MacBook Air M1 Review (Apple M1, 8-Core GPU, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD).Apple MacBook Pro 13 M2 Review (Apple M2, 10-Core GPU, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD).We currently also have a MacBook Air M2 with the faster 10-core GPU, 16 GB RAM, and a 1 TB SSD in our editorial office the corresponding review will be published soon.



If you get all the options (24 GB RAM, 2 TB SSD), the price of the new Air M2 will rise to $2499. We review the base model of the MacBook Air M2 in the new Midnight color, which we purchased in Apple’s online store (no press unit). We want to find out what the new MacBook Air M2 is like to live with, how the passive cooling solution handles the new M2 chip, and if you really notice the slower 256 GB SSD in your daily routine. It seems Apple is not really sure about the pricing, either, and still offers the MacBook Air M1 with the slower 7-core GPU (for now), most likely to offer a product in the $1000 range. However, the new model has a much higher starting price of $1199 for the base model with just 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD storage. The new display now supports the larger P3 color gamut like the larger MacBook Pro models and the panel is brighter, you get new speakers, there is a 1080p webcam and the popular MagSafe connector has returned. Apple wants to continue this success story with a completely redesigned chassis, which was developed for Apple’s own M2 processor. The new Air has big shoes to fill, because the previous MacBook Air M1 was one of the best compact laptops of the last two years. The old MacBook Pro 13 with the new Apple M2 chip launched a couple of weeks ago, and now we finally get the completely redesigned MacBook Air M2.
