New M2 MacBook Air Might Be The Perfect Laptop
Apple's redesigned M2 MacBook Air is set to feature impressive performance and impactful quality-of-life changes that might make it the perfect laptop for the masses. The thin-and-light laptop was one of the few hardware releases announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2022. The annual WWDC keynote is traditionally devoted to software upgrades, but since the company transitioned to Apple Silicon in 2020, the event has featured the Mac. This year's keynote saw the MacBook Air get a much-needed design refresh that matches the design language of the popular MacBook Pro lineup of laptops. With a few new features and an affordable price point, the refined computer will be one of the most popular options for Mac users.
The MacBook Air won't be available until sometime in July, but the keynote provided a clear representation of what the upgraded laptop will be like. It features the M2 processor, and although Apple's performance graphs aren't the most descriptive, the M2 provides 18 percent better CPU performance than the M1 chip. In addition, the redesign keeps the MacBook Air thin and light while reflecting the company's change in design language over the past few years. MagSafe has also made a comeback to compliment the two USB-C ports available on the MacBook Air. On paper, it's pretty similar to the M1 MacBook Air, but there are a few key reasons that the new edition of the MacBook Air stands out from its predecessor.
