Apple Announces Redesigned MacBook Air With M2 Chip, Notch, MagSafe, New Colors, and More

[kp98077]

UGHHHHH, yes I am wondering the same. It’s close to 14 inches. So much lighter, thinner, more portable with amazing battery life. About half the price.

i know tough!!!

 

[kp98077]

when does it go on pre order?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

No pastel colors. Thank god!

Agree...In addition, NO WHITE BEZELS OR WHITE KEYBOARDS!

 

[NeroBurningRome]

Damn, another product with a notch and a huge bezel under the screen - move the screen down and drop the notch. The pricing is even crazier - $1199 for 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, $1499 for 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. Hello, Apple, it is 2022!

 

[MrGimper]

1249 starting price in UK.... HIGHER than the dollar number. Wow!

 

[Axemantitan]

Nice LOTR reference on the Apple page:

 

[calstanford]

What's the display resolution?

 

[uczcret]

Oh wow, £1,249 for the base 8/8/256 8GB model and £1,549 for the 8/10/512 8GB one...

Totally they'll suspect nothing. Then after paying for my student laptop with my business account I'll walk back to my CPA, have him write it off as an expense, and also claim depreciation on it

Lol, there is literally nothing stopping you from using the education store student discount as a non-student. If you're above that then good for you, but I'm taking any discount I can get.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Seriously considering m2 air.
Late '22 or early '23
Screen seems much improved from Air.1

 

[LeeW]

Wow, just checked the store. The 14-inch M1 Pro is way better value than the MBA with M2. Not impressed.

 

[uczcret]

What's the display resolution?

2560x1664

 

[Diode]

Yea the lack of a second external display really kills this!

 

[Goldfinger]

Oh wow, £1,249 for the base 8/8/256 8GB model...

€1519 for the base model in EU. A 16GB/512GB model is €2099. You've got to be kidding me Apple...
EDIT: ok €1979 for the 8-core GPU, 16GB/512. Still ridiculous..

 

[JUiCEJamie]

Ouuuuffffff!! It’s finally happened! The £/$ has finally turned the other way for Apple products!
$1199/£1249! I was expecting £/$1199 each. But it’s finally swayed the other way.


OUCH!

Looks like I’ll be buying a MacBook Air when I’m next in the US!
Buying a MBA for $1099 on Education over there, (with tax).. will work out at £949!

I’d rather wait it out and save £300!!!

 

[Enlightened Doggo]

So a M2 Air with 1TB SSD and 24GB RAM is $2100 and the Pro with 32GB of RAM is $2600. Air looks great, but I think I'm sticking with the Pro at these prices.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just want to be able to drive 2 QHD displays. Beyond the capabilities of the "revolutionary M2" pathetic.

 

[zapmymac]

BT5.2+ & Usb4 & Thunderbolt4 hopefully

 

[jaceapoc]

For video editing of 4K 10-bit footage in H264, do you guys think the MB Air M2 is enough? Or is it still a better idea to get the MB Pro with M1 Pro? I'm confused as to whether the M2 in the Air is actually more powerful than the M1 Pro or not...

 

[Jamie's_Tech]

+£200 to go to 16gb, then another +£200 to go to 24gb!

 

[mi7chy]

What the MBA M1 should've been minus the notch and price inflation.

 

[LeeW]

Ouuuuffffff!! It’s finally happened! The £/$ has finally turned the other way for Apple products!
$1199/£1249! I was expecting £/$1199 each. But it’s finally swayed the other way.

You're not kidding. I mean £1,549 and still only 8GB Ram, £1,749 for a MBA with 16GB ram. But a 14-inch M1 Pro will only cost another £150...

 

[johannnn]

Price went up, at least here in Sweden.

and STILL 8GB RAM LOL? that's nothing anymore I have Safari and MS Teams open and all 8GB is used :-(

 

[dgdosen]

Now my M1 Air is an outdated piece of garbage 😒

I like to say 'this is the worst laptop I'll ever own from this point forward"
