Apple Now Accepting Pre-Orders for New MacBook Air With M2 Chip

[surfzen21]

Space Gray, 10c GPU, 2TB, 24GB shows Jul 26 - Aug 2 delivery (New York).

With that config, what made you choose this over the 14in M1pro?

Congratulations to all who were able to place their order for a MacBook Air M2 👏

Ordered in the first 30 seconds, Midnight 10/16/1TB with the 67W adapter, Aug 2-9. In my experience Apple usually beats the delivery dates.

Interesting. Would only let me buy 1. Said one was the limit.

I ended up getting 3! One for me, one for hubby and one I cant decide on! $$$ 🙁

I’d love one but isn’t the pricing absurd this time around?
Air M2 with 16ram 512ssd in UK comes at £1749, £150 cheaper than the 14” Pro with same storage/ram ( but the pro have better cpu, gpu, screen and speakers 🤔

 

[NotApplicable]

Wait… I could’ve used the edu store even though I have no children and graduated in 2015?

 

[Zbeast]

It may be taxes.

No, I mean they literally charged me just $150 right away. Not the order total plus $150. Weird huh?

 

[JasterMereel]

It’s the config I opted for.
The wife is pumped to move away from her very long in the tooth 2013 MBP. Though probably not as pumped as my 8 yo when she learns she’s getting her first laptop. 🤗

I also have a 2013 13" MBP. This is a sorely needed upgrade for me.

It's only absurd in countries whose currency got destroyed by the dollar... so pretty much anywhere outside the US.

That config here is only $1,329 with the $150 discount via the education program.

Store didn't crash not to much demand this time around.

But don’t you wanna be able to decorate it with stickers like us hipster college kids?😎 You get a $300 discount 🙃

pricing is really absub! when I got to the card i had to triple check the amount seemed to high!! **inflation**

You really expected phone levels of order demand?

So my theory above appears accurate: anything BTO would never have hit a 7/15 delivery. Thinking 8/2 is earliest for BTO.

I'm BTO and have July 15th delivery. Midnight 10-core GPU, 16 gigs ram, 1tb drive.

Anything other than 8/256 shows Aug 2-9 for me

I ordered midnight 8/256 @ 8:04AM ET for Jul 15th delivery but after I added dual charger option delivery slipped to Aug 2-9. Cancelled and reordered w/o dual charger and back to delivery next Fri. Apple has less dual charger stock that M2 MBA? Crazy.

 

[kp98077]

why does it say 1199 and then slightly below it is $1499?

 

[chrono1081]

They didn't slip. Those were the times from the start.

This isn't true. I ordered the exact same config and I have a July 15th delivery date.

EDIT: Oops I got the 1tb drive, that poster had the 512 drive.

Yep, gotten everything cheaper plus a $150 giftcard.

 

[tgwaste]

Wasn’t able to purchase AppleCare through the education store. It said I had to include a qualifying product. I ordered the midnight 16/1TB.

Had the same issue unfortunately. Will have to purchase it when it arrives.

 

[noteple]

Ordered in 30 sec after store open.
‘Midnight 1tb Aug 2-9 AppleCare+ $79 till canceled
Billed my Apple Card for the entire amount Delivery Aug 2-9

Tried to correct to monthly installment, no-go, canceled order.

Had to place another order 30 minutes later

Still delivery Aug 2-9, got the monthly installment. Maybe the computer will come a piece at a time.

 

[Dnzilla]

Yep, gotten everything cheaper plus a $150 giftcard.

And he could just cancel now and reorder before it ships…

 

[Sammy in SoCal]

Still says aug 2-9 for a midnight 8core/24/512 configuration. No slipping. This product sucks. No high demand.

thats about what it is in the USA

August for just changing the power adapter to the dual option

Ditto - I cancelled and reordered w/o it got Jul 15th delivery date for base midnight 8/256
