The resolution has also been upped from 2,560 x 1,600 to 2,560 x 1,664. The bezels around the screen have been slimmed down, and not only does it make the new MacBook Air feel a lot more modern than the old model, but it means the screen is now larger, at 13.6-inches, compared to the 13.3-inch screen of the previous model. So, it feels much easier to carry around. Apple also claims that the MacBook Air 2022 has a 20% smaller footprint than the previous MacBook Air, measuring in at 11mm thick and weighing just 2.7 pounds. We also get four color options: Space Gray, Silver, Starlight, and Midnight Blue. Instead, it now has a more square design that takes elements of the MacBook Pro and iPhone redesigns. It’s no longer a wedge shape, with a thicker back that tapers into a thin front. The good news is that the MacBook Air (M2, 2022) comes with a big redesign. In the long run, it could save you money. However, the M2 model does come with performance upgrades and can be configured to have up to 24GB of unified memory, which means it’s more future-proof, and you won’t feel the need to upgrade it for a while.
If value for money is the most important consideration, then the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) remains unbeatable. This means the M2 MacBook Air doesn’t feel quite as good value as the M1 model, as it’s venturing into MacBook Pro territory. That’s quite a leap, especially in the UK and Australia. While Apple has done that in the past, the MacBook Air (M2, 2022) starts at the higher price of $1,199 / £1,249 / AU$1,899. It also dashes the hopes of anyone who expected the new MacBook Air M2 to launch at the same price as the M1 model did. This is a shame, as we’d have liked to see the older MacBook Air get an official price cut. At WWDC 2022, Apple revealed it will continue to sell the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) at this price.
Since then, it’s stayed around that price, mainly due to its popularity, but it has dipped in price now and then with price cuts on days like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday.
