Prepare for takeoff.
The M2 chip, which debuts the following generation of Apple silicon, offers even greater speed and power efficiency than the M1 chip. Because an 8-core CPU is more powerful, you can complete more tasks faster. With a 10-core GPU, create beautiful pictures and animations. Work with additional 4K and 8K ProRes
video streams using the powerful media engine. And with up to 18 hours of battery life, continue working or playing all day long.
Don’t take it lightly.
Beautiful, huge Liquid Retina display. 18-hour maximum battery life. new style. advanced audio and camera.
There’s power in silence.
Thanks to the efficiency of the M2 chip, MacBook Air can deliver amazing performance without
a fan — so it stays completely silent no matter how intense the task.
