After long months of waiting, the new MacBook Air is finally here,just like iOS 16. The first major change of this model is its design: there is the finesse record, but we still have a machine there.20% less imposingand which is available in four different colors.
Unsurprisingly,the screen is also enlargedand now offers a Liquid Retina diagonal of 13.6 inches (thanks to the arrival of the notch) which is 25% brighter. On the socket side, the jack port has been retained and charging via MagSafe returns as onlate 2021 MacBook Pros.
Performances
According to Apple, the MacBook Air M2 is38% fasterthan the MacBook Air M1 when comparing their video editing capabilities. A record which is also supported by a fanless design, and which should therefore prevent you from hearing a rocket take off during tasks that are a little too demanding.

TheM2 chipis the latest processor presented by Apple, also during the Worldwide Developer Conference 2022. It remains less efficient than the M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra on paper, but does not seem to be aimed at professionals for the moment. Indeed, to do this we may instead have to look towards the new MacBook Pro unveiled at the same time and with it also an M2 under the hood.
MacBook Air M2 price:from $1,199in the United States (French prices to come).
With this, Apple has also decided to release a MacBook Pro with M2 chip even though two laptops in the same range have been sold since last year.
