that midnight colour is gorg, it reminds me of the black polycarbonate MacBook
2 GPU cores don't mean muchBase Air is only 8 core CPU 8 core GPU at $1200 USD. 18 hr “movie playback” on 52.6 watt hour battery. Comes with 30w power adapter. MagSafe. Touch ID only. 1080p front face camera.
Base Pro is 8 core CPU 10 core GPU for $1300 USD. 20 hours “movie playback on 58.2 watt hour battery. Comes with the 67w power adapter. Not MagSafe. Touch Bar and Touch ID. 720 front face camera. But active cooling.
So for $100 with the pro, you gain 2 more graphics cores, “2 hours” or 5.6 watt hours of battery”, a 67w charger, active cooling, and Touch Bar (not necessarily a huge selling point).
The advantages of Air over Pro are: Liquid Retina (vs Retina display, whatever the difference is) 13.6" Vs 13.3" screen size. 1080p Vs 720p front camera, MagSafe, and a bad ass midnight color.
Idk…. I have been waiting over a year to upgrade my 2012 MBP 13”. Insane that for how much money they are asking, you only get a base of 8 Gb memory and 256gb ssd. Really with they had included an SD card reader to add expandable storage (was looking at the flush SD cards available on amazon); $200 for a storage upgrade is ridiculously steep. Tough to decide which one to go with now, including 2020 M1 air (which order I just canceled at sale price of $899). As others have stated, I feel that the price scheme is way off.

I was hoping for a 12” MacBook like replacement. These things are beautiful though.
someone needs to make a tiny little magsafe cover that you can keep over the port (thats flush) for those who will never use it. like me![]()
I bought a 13" M1 Pro as a real-time "emergency" replacement for a dead machine because the M1 Air was out of stock. Turns out I quite like the touch bar.TBH there was very little reason to buy the 13" M1 Pro when it came out over the older Air. There is even less reason now.
It wouldn’t be Apple if the pricing scheme wasn’t way off and the base specs would actually be adequate for a laptop in 2022 (16GB RAM and 512GB SSD).Base Air is only 8 core CPU 8 core GPU at $1200 USD. 18 hr “movie playback” on 52.6 watt hour battery.

Yes, I noticed them too. I'd have to see one in an Apple store to see how the finish stands up to fingerprints / smudges. As beautiful as the Midnight colour looks, it would drive me nuts if it turned out to be a fingerprint magnate.finger prints galore in those photos = midnight
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.

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.

1560 EUR STARTING price. And still 8GB/256GB Base model. Makes me sick.

I don't know what kind of material they'd have to create to avoid smudges. At least it isn't as bad looking as, let's say the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon series. Those look absolutely disgusting after a while because of the black matte material. My boss has one of those and it looks disgusting tbh. At least with a metallic surface like the Macbooks, it's relatively easy to just wipe it clean.Yes, I noticed them too. I'd have to see one in an Apple store to see how the finish stands up to fingerprints / smudges.

£2149 maxed out is way too high for the class of laptop this is. That’s Pro pricing. Apple really losing the plot on the prices.I wouldn’t say waaaaaay too high, but it should have had a RAM bump to 16GB
