Apple’s M2 MacBook Air is finally on sale for $999. The laptop is available now and has a few features that are unique to the model. For example, the M2 has a faster processor and a more powerful graphics card than the original M1. It also has an A13 Bionic chip that is more powerful than the A12 Bionic found in most other laptops.
The new MacBook Air has a blockier design than its predecessor, matching the look of recent iPad models, complete with a larger 13.6-inch screen and spacious keyboard. There’s a MagSafe connector for charging the MacBook (not to be confused with the wireless charging tech in the iPhone), but you can also power the laptop with either of the two USB Type-C ports.
Powering the whole machine is the Apple M2 chip, which is still efficient enough to not require active cooling, while offering more than enough power for productivity work, lightweight video editing, and even some gaming (if your favorite games are available on macOS). It’s marginally faster than the M1 chip in the previous MacBook Air, and it’s the same chip found in the current base model MacBook Pro.
