It’s now the lightest it’s ever been, at only 2.7 pounds. The outside of the laptop has been redesigned too.

It’s a speedy chip that can handle a lot more demanding processes than the M1 on the 2020 MacBook Air can. Arguably the most important improvement is the switch to the M2 chip. It has several improvements over previous models, both in the design and internal components. If you love the sleek look of the MacBook Air, but the M2 chip just doesn’t cut it power-wise, the MacBook Air 2022 model has your back. This one has a resolution of 2560 x 1600, so anything short of 4K will look its best.Īpple MacBook Air 2022 (M2, 13.6-inch, 256GB SSD) - $1,049, was $1,199 It’s worth shelling out the Apple price just for that, since you spend hours at a time staring at it. The screen on the 2020 MacBook Air is a gorgeous retina display, the same technology on your iPhone. The one thing Apple never skimps out on is the display. It has 8GB of RAM, average for a mid-range computer, and a fairly light 256GB memory. In fact, it has Apple’s M1 chip, which is a powerful processor and was once top of the line for Apple.

That’s not to say this is a flimsy machine. It’s a classic laptop option for students and casual users who love iOS and the Apple aesthetic but can’t afford the more expensive laptops. If you love Apple but hate their high price points, the MacBook Air is for you.
