1 MACBOOK AIR M2

From $1,899, apple.com/au

How many times can Apple change the game? Before M1 has even had time to bed in, just as the ridiculous two-chips-in-one M1 Ultra starts rolling out, the company has bumped itself up a generation with the M2. Not only that but it has given the MacBook Air a radical redesign that seems to place it firmly at the top of Apple’s laptop stack – even higher, perhaps, than the M2 version of the MacBook Pro.

This isn’t a ‘new guts, same case’ type design. Apple shows its continuing commitment to the idea of the notch by cutting a chunk out of the 13.6-inch (2560x1664) liquid retina display to house its much-improved 1080p FaceTime camera; to make up for the slightly reduced screen real estate, its savvy designers have chopped the bezels back even further from the previous generation. There are even more ports, at least technically, thanks to the return of MagSafe charging, which leaves two Thunderbolt ports free.

And yes – there’s that stand-out M2 chip.
