It’s official: the revamped MacBook Air with M2 will be put in reserve on July 8 (this Friday) and will start shipping worldwide a week later, on July 15 (as experts claimed). US prices start at $ 1,200 ($ 1,100 for teachers and students).
The new MacBook Air with an Apple M2 chipset will begin shipping next week
This is for a version with an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. For another $ 300 you can get the version with a 10-core GPU and 512GB of storage. You can add more RAM (up to 24 GB of this generation) and storage (up to 2 TB). If the price of the new Air seems high, you can change an old device to get credit in the store, more details here. In addition, the M1 version is still available for $ 1,000 (8/256 GB).
A 30 W or 67 W USB-C power adapter is included free of charge (depending on the model you get), but you may want to pick up some accessories along the way. For example, the 35 W dual USB-C adapter costs $ 59 (available in Canada, China, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and the US).
Compared to the M1-based MacBook Air, the new M2 model has a slightly larger 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (with a higher brightness, 500 nights). The laptop is thinner (1.13 cm versus 1.61 cm) and lighter (1.24 kg versus 1.29 kg). The FaceTime camera is updated to a resolution of 1080p (downside: it lives in a notch), also the laptop also comes with four speakers. Finally, the MagSafe load is back.
