Hands-on with the new, more colorful, M2-powered MacBook Air (with pierce and reckless)
in 2008. This year’s model, which Apple just announced at WWDC and is also the first Apple laptop to come with an M2 chip, abandons the famous wedge shape but also improves almost everything else about the Air.The first thing you notice? Colors! The new design is 11mm thick and weighs 2.7 pounds, and while it is now a more traditional slab-shaped design, it comes in a very handsome dark blue called “midnight” and a light gold called “starlight” in addition to the familiar silver and space gray.
Of course, the biggest change to the Air is inside the case, with the new M2 chip that Apple says offers 1.4x the performance of the M1 model depending on the task, assuming you pick the one with an eight-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. That’s a $100 upsell over the standard M2, which has only eight GPU cores; the laptop also comes with only 8GB of unified memory by default, with the 16GB and 24GB configurations costing $200 and $400 more, respectively.
Apple’s also quoting “18 hours” of battery life, but that number is for video playback with all the radios off. I’d assume the M2 gets the same stellar all-day battery life as the M1 Air, but 18 hours is definitely not realistic.You get a color-matched cable for your MacBook Air. In addition to the color-matched MagSafe charging cables that come with each laptop, you may get to pick from up to three different chargers. We got a peek at the brand-new dual-port 35W USB-C charger above, and there’s also a 67W USB-C fast charger, both of which are upsells from the 30W charger that comes with the base model. You can get either of the upgrade chargers for an extra $20 with your purchase or your pick of one free with the pricier $1,499 model.
In general, the new Air definitely feels less like an iconic and unique device and more like the rest of Apple’s lineup; that boxy shape and keyboard setup are remarkably similar to the iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard combo. But it’s still a good-looking, cleanly made computer, and I have to say: the bezels on my M1 Air suddenly look gigantic.
