The new M2-powered MacBook Air is coming July fifteenth

Apple’s upcoming MacBook Air with M2 processor finally has a shipping date. After a bit longer wait than regular, the brand new $1,199 laptop computer will start delivery on July fifteenth, with preorders opening on July eighth at 8AM ET. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar introduced alongside it at WWDC 2022 is already obtainable. While that familiar-looking mannequin was first out of the gate with the second-generation chip, this MacBook Air is providing a complete lot extra that’s new, like a MagSafe charger, 1080p webcam, and a revised design with a bigger, notched 13.6-inch show.

Though the brand new MacBook Air has a decrease beginning worth than its 13-inch Pro counterpart, it’s actually the extra colourful and unique-looking one. Unlike prior Air laptops, it shifts away from a wedge-shaped design to a extra standard slab and is available in a brand new darker shade.

In our transient hands-on with a demo unit following the WWDC announcement, the Air’s thinness and lightness have been instantly noticeable — it’s simply 11mm thick and weighs 2.7 kilos. It now has a notch on the prime of its bigger display, identical to the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, although it appears a way more interesting concession in comparison with being caught with a Touch Bar just like the 13-inch Pro with M2.

We’ll must see how the brand new MacBook Air’s contemporary specs and design ship once we get to spend extra time with it, although on paper there appears to be lots of promise.
