Apple | Apple introduces MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with M2 chip | macbook

Apple has the new M2 presented and thus presents a completely revised MacBook Air. The old design is a thing of the past, the new device fits seamlessly into the ranks of the new ProBooks with its more angular design. Looks like a pressed MacBook Pro. 20 percent volume could still be saved compared to the predecessor. The book is available in four different colors and MagSafe will also be there again.

Two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a headphone jack are included. The Liquid Retina display offers 13.6 inches and thus more space. Apple specifies 500 nits brightness, a 1080p camera sits in the notch, which initially caused concern among the pros.

The speakers have been significantly improved and bring the volume and more that Apple is used to. Spatial audio support is included and the Magic Keyboard has Touch ID. The new M2 chip, for which Apple has already shown various numbers and meaningless diagrams, guarantees that the speed is good. Will be good and enough for 18 hours of video playback.

There will be a power supply with two USB-C ports and the 67 watt power supply should enable fast charging. Unfortunately, the MacBook Air is more expensive than before. It starts at 1,199 US dollars, we will submit German prices later. The old MacBook Air with M1 will remain in the range and become cheaper.

A new MacBook Pro was also on display. This has a battery life of up to 20 hours, an 8-core CPU, a 10-core GPU and a maximum of 24 GB of RAM and 2 TB of SSD storage space. The new MacBook Pro starts at $1,299 and will be available to order next month. We will submit German prices later.
