Now available in four gorgeous finishes — midnight, starlight, silver and space gray — MacBook Air with M2 starts at $1,199 (US) and $1,099 (US) for training. New design Powered by M2 Completely redesigned around the M2, MacBook Air has a new design that’s ultra-slim from every angle. With a durable, unibody aluminum housing that feels incredible and is built to last, it’s just 11.3mm thick, weighs just 2.7lbs and offers a staggering 20 percent bulk reduction over the previous generation. And with the power output of the M2, all the features of MacBook Air are packed into a quiet, fanless design. In addition to silver and space gray, MacBook Air is now available in two stunning new finishes: midnight and starlight. MagSafe provides users with a dedicated charging port that’s easy to plug into while protecting the MacBook Air when it’s plugged in. MacBook Air also has two Thunderbolt ports for connecting a variety of accessories and a 3.5mm audio jack with support for high-impedance headphones. In addition, the Magic Keyboard features a full-height array of functions with Touch ID and a spacious, industry-leading Force Touch trackpad. Gorgeous 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display The new MacBook Air has a beautiful 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, which has been extended closer to the sides and up around the camera to make room for the menu bar. The result is a larger screen with much thinner bezels, giving users more screen real estate to view their content in vivid detail. At 500 nits of brightness, it’s also 25 percent brighter than before. MacBook Air now supports 1 billion colors, so photos and movies look incredibly vivid. Advanced camera and sound MacBook Air includes a new FaceTime HD 1080p camera with twice the resolution and low-light performance of the previous generation. Combined with the processing power of the advanced image signal processor in the M2, users will look great on video calls. The MacBook Air also has a four-speaker sound system. To fit into such a slim design, the speakers and microphones are fully integrated between the keyboard and the display — all while delivering an even better audio experience. A three-microphone array captures clear audio using advanced beamforming algorithms, while the speakers produce improved stereo separation and vocal clarity. MacBook Air also supports immersive surround sound for music and movies with Dolby Atmos. More performance with the M2 The M2 chip kicks off the next generation of Apple silicon for Macs, further advancing the groundbreaking performance, power efficiency and capabilities of the M1. From multitasking to creating compelling images, MacBook Air with M2 is everything users could wish for in the world’s best-selling notebook.
MacBook Air with M2 features a more powerful 8-core CPU and up to 10-core GPU, so users can do more, faster.
With 100 GB/s of unified memory bandwidth and support for up to 24 GB of fast unified memory, it can handle even larger and more complex workloads.
The M2 also adds a next-generation media engine with a powerful ProRes video engine for hardware-accelerated encoding and decoding, so MacBook Air with M2 can play more 4K and 8K video streams than before.
With the M2, intensive workloads like editing complex timelines in Final Cut Pro are nearly 40 percent faster than the previous generation,2 and up to 15 times faster for customers who haven’t upgraded to Apple silicon.3
Applying filters and effects in apps like Adobe Photoshop is up to 20 percent faster than before,2 and up to 5 times faster for customers who haven’t yet upgraded to Apple silicon.3

Only Apple silicon can deliver this combination of performance and capabilities in such a thin and light notebook in a fanless design. More charging options MacBook Air offers a range of charging options, including an all-new compact 35W power adapter with two USB-C ports so users can charge two devices simultaneously.

FaceTime includes Portrait Mode and Spatial Audio to make calls more natural and lifelike, and SharePlay lets Mac users share experiences through FaceTime.5 Live Text and Visual Look Up use intelligence to display useful information , Safari includes powerful tab organization with Tab Groups , and Shortcuts brings the convenience of automation to the Mac. Coming this fall, macOS Ventura will take full advantage of M2, offering new features like Stage Manager, powerful new features with Continuity Camera, and Handoff coming to FaceTime. macOS Ventura also includes major updates to Safari, Mail, Messages, Spotlight, and more. Designed with the environment in mind The new MacBook Air minimizes its impact on the environment, now using 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets. It also uses 100 percent recycled aluminum in its casing and is the first Apple product to use certified recycled steel. MacBook Air remains free of many harmful substances, meets Apple’s high standards for energy efficiency, and uses wood fibers in its packaging that come from recycled sources or responsible forests. Today, Apple is carbon neutral for its global corporate operations, and by 2030, it plans to have zero climate impact across the entire business, which includes manufacturing supply chains and all product life cycles. This means that every Mac Apple creates, from design to manufacturing, will be 100 percent carbon neutral. Pricing and Availability
