Apple’s new MacBook Air with the M2 chip is now available to order at Apple’s online store. Customer deliveries and in-store availability will begin on Friday, July 15.
Announced in June at WWDC, the new updated and redesigned MacBook Air features the biggest design change to the MacBook Air line since 2010 and is the first to include the M2 chip.
The new model features a slightly larger 13.6-inch display, a notch in the top panel that houses an improved 1080p camera, a uniform, flat MacBook Pro-like body, and new Starlight and Midnight color options.
In terms of connectivity, two USB-C ports are available on the MacBook Air along with a MagSafe port for charging purposes and a 3.5mm headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones.
The machine also includes a built-in four-speaker sound system that supports surround audio and wide stereo. It also features a three-microphone array.
The next-generation M2 chip features an 8-core CPU and up to 10-core GPU, along with support for up to 24GB of memory. Compared to the M1, the M2 offers advancements in performance and efficiency with an 18% faster CPU, 35% faster GPU and 40% faster Neural Engine.
Prices for the new MacBook Air start at $1,199 in the United States. The previous generation MacBook Air with the M1 chip remains available for $999.
