With a new design centered around M2, MacBook Air is remarkably thin from every angle. A durable, all-aluminum unibody enclosure delivers an astonishing 20 percent reduction in volume, measures just 11.3 millimeters thin, weighs 2.7 pounds, and measures just 11.3 millimeters thick. M2’s power efficiency allows MacBook Air to deliver all of its capabilities in a quiet, fanless design.

Using MagSafe, you can connect MacBook Air to a dedicated charging port while keeping it protected while charging. As well as two Thunderbolt ports, the MacBook Air has a 3.5 mm audio jack that supports high-impedance headphones. The Magic Keyboard also features an industry-leading Force Touch trackpad and a full-height function row with Touch ID.

Silver, starlight, space gray, and midnight are the four gorgeous finishes available on the newly redesigned MacBook Air. A variety of accessories can be connected to the two Thunderbolt ports of the new MacBook Air thanks to MagSafe. There is an expanded menu bar around the camera as well as the sides of the new MacBook Air’s 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display.

FaceTime HD camera on MacBook Air has twice the resolution and low-light performance of previous generations. Users will look great on video calls thanks to the advanced image signal processor on M2. There are also four speakers on the MacBook Air. The speakers and mics are completely integrated between the keyboard and display so that they can fit inside such a thin design – while delivering even better audio quality. Advanced beamforming algorithms capture clean audio, while the speakers improve stereo separation and vocal clarity. Additionally, the MacBook Air supports Dolby Atmos for immersive Spatial Audio.

The M2 is nearly 40 percent faster than its predecessor2 and up to 15x faster for customers who have not upgraded to Apple silicon3.

Applying filters and effects in apps like Adobe Photoshop is up to 20 percent faster than before. This is up to 5x faster for customers who haven’t yet upgraded to Apple silicon.

The MacBook Air has a number of charging options, including a 35W compact power adapter with two USB-C ports.
