Apple announced a new generation of MacBook Air earlier this month at WWDC 2022 along with the new 13-inch MacBook Pro. However, while the MacBook Pro with the M2 chip is already available in stores, Apple said the MacBook Air M2 will be available sometime in July. Now it seems that we finally have a release date for the M2 MacBook Air.
According to MacRumors retail sources, the new M2 MacBook Air will be available to customers from Friday, July 15. The report also mentions that pre-orders are expected to start a week earlier on July 8th.
M2 MacBook Air features
Unlike the 13-inch MacBook Pro, this year’s MacBook Air received a completely new design with flatter edges, similar to the more expensive 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro – but in a much thinner body. The new laptop has a 13.6-inch display that goes from end to end and has a slot on top with a built-in 1080p webcam.
Both the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the 2022 MacBook Air are equipped with Apple’s new M2 chip, which is about 20% faster than the original M1 chip. The M2 also allows the new MacBook Air to support up to 24GB of unified RAM as well as up to 2TB of storage. In addition to two USB-C ports, the M2 MacBook Air also has a MagSafe charging connector.
In addition to the traditional colors Silver and Space Gray, the new MacBook Air is also available in Midnight (which is very dark blue) and Starlight (which looks more like champagne).
Availability
It’s worth noting that, as with the M2 MacBook Pro, customers who purchase the new M2 MacBook Air may experience delivery delays. Currently, with the exception of the base model, any other M2 MacBook Pro configuration is ordered back by the end of July.
It is not clear at this stage what caused the delay in delivery of the M2 MacBook Pro, but they are probably related to a lack of memory and storage components. This shortage of components is likely to affect the supply of the new MacBook Air.
