Last month, Apple announced the new M2 chip and two new MacBooks at the WWDC 22 – an M2-powered MacBook Air and a MacBook Pro 13-inch with M2. The M2-powered MacBook Pro 13-inch is already up for pre-orders while the redesigned MacBook Air was said to be available in July, but no exact date was given. However, a new report from MacRumors gives us probable dates for the M2-powered MacBook Air’s availability.
MacRumors has learned from a retail source that the new M2-powered MacBook Air would be available for pre-order on July 8, while the sales are expected to begin a week later on July 15. However, Apple has not announced any dates so far, but we can expect it to give us the dates soon. The M2 MacBook Pro 13-inch went on pre-orders on June 17, and the deliveries began last week on June 24.
MacBook Air M2 specifications, features and more
The new MacBook Air comes with a new design very similar to the MacBook Pro 15-inch and 16-inch, having flat edges and a notch. The new M2-powered MacBook Air measures 11mm in thickness and weighs 1.22 kg.
The M2 MacBook Air features an upgraded 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display with 500 nits of brightness and a notch, and the webcam inside the notch has been upgraded to 1080P.
The new MacBook Air now has a MagSafe port for charging along with two USB C ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Moreover, it now has a quad-speaker setup which should sound better than the two-speaker setup on the older models. Cupertino giant claims that the Air could last up to 18 hours which is the same as the M1 model but the newer M2 model supports 67W fast charging.
Apple’s M2-powered MacBook Air comes in space grey, silver, midnight blue, and starlight gold. The MacBook Air M2 model price in India starts at Rs 1,19,900.
