M2 MacBook Air
- berberous 4y agoAnybody hear any news on whether this can or cannot now support dual external monitors? That’s the only new feature I really want.
- berberous 4y agoWelp, Apple just updated the specs page which seems to confirm only one external display up to 6k in resolution. Too bad.
- gtm1260 4y agoM2, magsafe, and 500 nits peak brightness? Insta-buy for me.
- hayd 4y agodoes magsafe mean it's not usb-c?
- terramex 4y agoIt is, you get USB-C - > Magsafe cable in the box and can use it with every USB-C charger and of course still can charge over normal USB-C if you left Magsafe cable at home.
- ledauphin 4y agowith the Pros, they support both. That would be my guess here as well.
- thebean11 4y agoHas both just like the new Pros. They didn't specifically confirm you can charge on USB-C, but my guess would be you can.
- metahost 4y ago2x thunderbolt, 1x magsafe and 1x headphone jack for the m2 air

- BonoboIO 4y agoI like the space grey. Looks awesome.
- gnicholas 4y agoSign me up for midnight, which is reminiscent of the black Macbook from years ago.
- tandr 4y agoSomehow I only see M1 mentioned... EDIT: you have to look at US site to see the announcement.
- gpt5 4y agoAt the time of writing this comment, it clearly says M1.
- CameronNemo 4y agoMaybe timezones? I also see M1 everywhere on that page.

- synu 4y ago-
- adastra22 4y agoI’m accessing from the US. It says M1.
- ravenstine 4y agoI'm looking at the US site under a US IP address and I'm not seeing it.
- protomyth 4y agoMacRumors has a screen shot of the stat screen https://photos.reportinglive.com/p/2022-06-06/f1654538818.jpg https://photos.reportinglive.com/p/2022-06-06/f1654538818.jp...
- SenHeng 4y agoFor all the people going 'it says M1', the website clearly hasn't been updated yet and the poster has jumped the gun. The M2 MBA has just been announced at WWDC and they're still in the middle of the presentation. edit Anyway here are the just announced specs - 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU. Nearly 40 percent faster than the previous generation - 13.6" screen, has notch - battery life, up to 18 hours of video playback. - magsafe - 2 usb C ports so you can charge 2 devices - still has audio jack - 1080p FaceTime HD camera, twice the resolution and twice the low-light performance - 11.3mm thin - no more wedge design - silver, space gray, midnight (blue), starlight (gold)
- petesergeant 4y agoWhat's the max memory?
- terramex 4y agoM2 slide said that it supports up to 24GB memory. No Air configs were announced yet, but I'd guess it will be sold with up to full supported amount.

- arduinomancer 4y ago> no more wedge design That is unfortunate. The wedge air design is the most comfortable macbook to type on IMO since it doesn't have the thick 90 degree metal edge digging into your wrist like the others. One of the main reasons I got it

- warning26 4y agoThe Midnight color looks cool, but I'm a bit disappointed they didn't include the turquoise color from the iMac.
- rvz 4y agoThis time, A MacBook Air with M2 looks ready, despite the notch, especially at $1199. Yes please and a very good deal.
- ehutch79 4y agoThat's likely with the minimum ram and storage
- marban 4y ago50% battery charge in 30min is killer.
- necessary 4y agoAnyone have any real-world comparisons between the M1* MacBook Air and Pro models? I think the question for many of us going forward is going to be, do we buy the M1 MacBook Pro or the considerably cheaper M2 MacBook Air. Of course, the Pro has extra ports, but many of already have the requisite dongles or may not even use the extra ports.
- wollsmoth 4y agoI don't have a link but I read if you work air hard enough it'll eventually throttle your speed. It doesn't have a fan to cool down so it'll slow down to compensate. Anecdotally it doesn't sound like most people hit that threshold regularly though.
- gzer0 4y agoMuch like the M1 Ultra before it, the M2 uses Apple’s custom Arm silicon, and it’s now * Built on a 5nm process. * 1080p FaceTime HD webcam * New power adapter; two USB-C ports, allowing charge to 80-percent in 20 mins. * 20 bln transistors — 25 percent more than the original M1. * 18% faster CPU. * 35% faster GPU. * Next gen secure enclave and neural engine. * Updated media engine that supports 8K H.264 and HEVC video. This MacBook Air with M2 will be available in July starting at $1,199. There will also be a model with a touch bar starting at $1,299 (?).
- brandon272 4y agoThe $1,299 version is not the M2 Air - it's the updated MacBook Pro with M2.
- out_of_protocol 4y agoNo mention for AV1 somehow

- mbreese 4y agoSo, they are getting rid of the wedge design? I'm a bit sad to see it go, but it has been the same shape of the Macbook Air since they first came out in 2008. So long as it keeps a "thin and light" design, I'm sure it will still be quite popular. The latest MBPs are powerful, but a bit on the heavy side.
- gnicholas 4y agoWonder what the availability will be. There have been rumors of delays, and MBP orders were pushed out to mid-July. I wondered if that was just because they were going to be announcing new machines and figured people would want those instead.
- 91edec 4y agoSo the Air joins the Macbook Pro 14/16 design language which is nice. I find it strange that the Macbook Pro 13 gets an M2 but keeps the same design? Does the Macbook Pro 13 even need to exist anymore?
- gnicholas 4y agoDepending on pricing (including base storage), I might get one instead of the Air. It gives you an SD slot, which allows you to seamlessly expand storage in the future. But I still want to see more details on the new base MBP...they rushed through that faster than any hardware announcement I've ever seen.
- ushakov 4y agoi really wished 13 inch pro refresh 14 inch is too pro for me looks like i have to buy the air now!
- thenewwazoo 4y agoThe store hasn't been updated yet, but it appears that the 13" MBP is the only way to get the Touch Bar any more. Which is actually a thing that might get me to buy it. I'm one of the six or so people who like the Touch Bar.
- FriedPickles 4y agoI was hoping for a usb-c port on the other side. Also why did they move the speakers from the sides of the keyboard to the top? It looks like that space is just empty on the top of the case now. The new charger is cool with two usb-c ports. I wonder if it's GaN.
- simlevesque 4y agoAny release date ? I can't see anything M2 on the US website.
- dementik 4y agoI think they said "Next month" for availability.
- closeparen 4y agoUgh, I'm still waiting on my M1 to ship. Maybe I can cancel it and order an M2 instead?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- kpez 4y agoMidnight looks gorgeous! Definitively gonna buy this one. Especially glad that they didn't used white bezels + white keyboard.
- songgao 4y agoDid I miss it or they didn’t mention when you could order it?
- rbone80 4y agoThe live stream mentioned it will be available next month.
- newaccount2021 4y ago
- NexRebular 4y agoWould like to know more about the keyboard. That thinness worries me on the feel and travel quite a lot...
- gnicholas 4y agoI had similar thoughts. They seemed to have learned their lesson a few years ago, but the thinness does look concerning...good thing there's a 14-day return period!
- csandanov 4y agoThe most important question for me is does the screen have PWM or not?
- jbverschoor 4y agoThis is just karma bait. The link is not live yet
- edmcnulty101 4y agoDoes anyone know the RAM options for this?
- richardwhiuk 4y ago8/16/24 GB of shared memory (i.e. RAM/VRAM)
- edmcnulty101 4y agoThank you!
- Thaxll 4y agoWhy is that every gaming demo on mac looks sluggish, the fps does not looks like either high or stable.
- aaomidi 4y agoSeriously? Just a single external screen again?
