The world’s best-selling laptop has finally been given the Apple silicon makeover it deserves. It ditches the wedge-shaped design of its forebears in favour of a super-slim, uniformly flat design that’s 20% slimmer by volume than its predecessors – yet is still powerful enough to snap at the heels of its closest Apple sibling, the new M2 MacBook Pro 13-inch (MF381). Measuring 30.41x21.5x1.13cm and weighing 1.24kg, the new MacBook Air is slimmer and lighter than its M1-powered predecessor (which is still available for £999), yet comes with a bigger 13.6in Liquid Retina display, an upgraded 1080p FaceTime camera (up from 720p) and Apple’s next-gen silicon: the M2 system-on-achip (SoC), which promises up to 1.4x more performance than the M1 version and up to 15x faster performance than its Intel Core i5-powered ancestors. That’s some upgrade.
Pricing for the new MacBook Air starts at £1,249 for
