M2 MacBook Air

Apple’s M2 MacBook Air (2022) is now available in-store.

The new laptop features the tech giant’s powerful M2 chipset and starts at $1,499. It also comes in four colours, including ‘Starlight,’ ‘Midnight,’ ‘Silver’ and ‘Space Grey.’

Though a great laptop, the key issue with the new MacBook Air is that it costs $200 more expensive than the existing M1 MacBook Air, which offers the best price/performance ratio of nearly any laptop available right now.

You can order the new computer online from Apple, Best Buy and several other retailers. For more on the M2 MacBook Air, check out my review of the laptop.

Apple’s M2 MacBook Air starts at $1,499 in Canada for the 8-core CPU/8-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage model.

Apple’s fancy new M2-powered MacBook Air will reportedly go on sale starting July 15th.

MacRumors reports that a “retail source” confirmed the date. Apple first announced the new MacBook Air at its Word Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June, noting that the laptop would go on sale in July. However, the company didn’t confirm an exact date.

With the July 15th date in mind, it’s likely we’ll see pre-orders for the M2 MacBook Air go live on July 8th.

The new MacBook Air measures in at just 2.7lbs and is 11.3mm thin. It sports a 3.5mm headphone jack, two Thunderbolt ports, and Apple’s revamped MagSafe charger. The Air also features a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display and 1080p webcam housed in a notch.

Thanks to the M2 chip, Apple says the Air offers up to 18 hours of battery life. Moreover, the M2 chip includes an 8-core CPU, up to a 10-core GPU, and support for up to 24GB of RAM.

The MacBook Air comes in four colours, ‘Silver,’ ‘Space Grey,’ ‘Starlight,’ and ‘Midnight.’ In Canada, the Air will start at $1,499.
