Either way, this laptop is wonderfully thin and light, and having just used the MacBook Pro M2 for a few weeks, I appreciate just how much easier the 2.7-pound MacBook Air is to pick up when I shift between working at my desk and kicking back on the couch. I personally dig this new look, though I can see how some Mac aficionados might miss the seemingly skinnier design of previous Airs. That being said, this new Air design - which adopts the more uniform look of the larger MacBook Pros - is still a tiny bit lighter than the 2020 model, and its edges are pleasingly thin at just 11.3 millimeters.
The new MacBook Air may not look as compact as its predecessor at first glance, ditching the tapered-off, wedge-like design that we’ve seen for years and adopting a taller display. It takes some of the best things from last year’s 14-inch MacBook Pro - including physical function keys and a more seamless display - and packs it all into a gorgeous construction that’s a delight to use. It might not be an essential upgrade for everyone, but the MacBook Air M2 is the new best MacBook for most people - and the one I’d personally spend my money on.įrom a design standpoint, the new MacBook Air feels like the perfect MacBook. And thanks to that M2 chip inside, it’s just about the most powerful mainstream laptop out there. The latest version of Apple’s entry-level laptop (if $1,199 can still be considered entry-level, that is) sports a refreshed design with larger function keys, a convenient MagSafe charger, a more immersive display and some gorgeous new color options. Enter the MacBook Air M2: a laptop that combines everything I love about those two machines and strips out everything I don’t. The more recent 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 is one of the fastest laptops I’ve ever used, but its outdated design brings nothing new to the table. I fell in love with the 14-inch MacBook Pro’s updated keyboard and seamless display, but its beastly (and pricey) performance is overkill for my needs.
