Same as me. Why can't they just have the use of two monitors !!! The previous version did :-( frustrating. Great form factor, size, everything but the limit of monitors is annoying as well as not being. Able to jump to 32gb ram but that's something else.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, it does sting. I wonder how a base M2 MBP (13” replacement) will be priced if released in the future 😳
A bit weird they have ditched the speaker grilles for this model, I hope that doesn't affect sound quality too much? I guess it will now have to filter up through the keycaps?
I use both mac and windows at work. Always want to get a mac laptop but the weight turns me out. Apple should consider making a real macbook “air”
That hands on area is BUZZING! So happy to see in person sessions back on again so we can see real life pictures of new products after an event.
In 2022 you want to buy from a company that can get components. I bought a non Apple laptop a few months ago to save $. Issue with a USB port a few months later. Sent in for warranty. They (LG) can’t get their own logic boards. They had to send me a check 6 weeks later for full amount. It’s crazy out there. Get an Apple. Especially for that mag-safe connector and heavy duty USB-C ports.
Oh yeah, definitely a typo. Battery will likely be what any M1 user has become accustomed to.
Oh, great, ugly brick design comes to the Air! And don't forget the notch! Yeah, I'd rather get old model.
USB 3.1 Gen 2 doesn’t exist. It was renamed to USB 3.2 Gen 2 a few years ago. Thunderbolt 4 has USB 4 by definition.
I really want a cheaper 15-inch or 16-inch MacBook option. I honestly don't even care if it's not a Pro; I just want a bigger screen!
It definitely looks the kit considering it again in midnight. I’ll bet it comes with a black sticker
CNET photographer James Martin shared photos of the new MacBook Air in Midnight on Twitter. Depending on the lighting, the color looks like a mix of navy blue and space gray. While some rumors suggested the new MacBook Air would feature a white keyboard, the keys are in fact black, and the Midnight-colored chassis is visible between the keys. The keyboard retains full-size function keys and a Touch ID button for authentication.
Tech journalist Nobi Hayashi tweeted photos of the Silver and Starlight color options, with the latter appearing to be a champagne-like gold.
The new MacBook Air features Apple's all-new M2 chip with an 8-core CPU and up to a 10-core GPU, a brighter 13.6-inch display with a notch, MagSafe charging, a 1080p camera, a fanless design, two Thunderbolt 4 ports on the left side, a headphone jack with support for high-impedance headphones, four speakers, three microphones, and more. The notebook can be configured with up to a 2TB SSD and up to 24GB of unified memory.
The new MacBook Air will be available next month, but no specific date has been provided by Apple. Pricing will start at $1,199 in the United States, and the previous-generation MacBook Air with the M1 chip will remain available for $999.

A MacBook Air wasn’t specifically only to be wedge only. Just like the originals ports were not always set in stone to be behind a hidden cover. It’s design purpose was and Wally’s will be the thinnest, lightest full keyboard portable laptop computer ! Simple. Not a netbook.
By this mythos it’s soul is intact and still beating healthy and strong!
I was looking for three things: M2, colors, and losing the “Air” from the name. I got one and a half of those. Really on the fence here.
Immediately after the WWDC 2022 keynote, Apple invited the media to a hands-on demo area for the new MacBook Air, which features an overhauled design with a slightly larger display, a notch, flatter edges, and new Starlight and Midnight color options.
