When it comes time to recharge your laptop, you'll be pleased to know that this is the first MacBook Air to utilize fast charging.

We used the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which consists of continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brightness. The question isn't whether or not it's an improvement, but how much? Battery lifeĪpple is promising all-day battery life pointing to 18 hours of video playback. Lofty claims indeed, but as we've learned time and time again, it doesn't pay to underestimate Apple. For the GPU, Apple states a 35% increase in performance over M1. In terms of PCs, the company claims 1.9x better performance than a 10-core CPU at 1/4 the energy cost. So what can this new chip do? According to Apple, the M2 chip is 18% more powerful than its predecessor. Where the M2 deviates is the GPU cores, which has 10 cores instead of its predecessor's 8. It's pretty much in line with the M1 chip.

PerformanceĪnd now, what most of us have been waiting for, the M2 chip. And like many Apple audio products, the speakers will support spatial audio for an immersive sound experience. In terms of audio, you have an integrated three-mic array with four speakers which should deliver full, balanced sound. Apple claims its 25% brighter than its predecessor, something that we're eager to put to the test. The new MacBook Air is equipped with a 13.6-inch Retina display that can reach up to 500 nits. No SD card slot, but at this point, that's more of a nice to have than a necessity. In fact, you get a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headset jack. But being that this is a MacBook Air, don't expect too many ports. Similar to the MacBook Pro, the Air is bringing back the MagSafe charger.
