MacBook Air Features
The MacBook Air is Apple's most popular laptop. It provides Apple's best balance of performance, portability, and pricing.
M2 MacBook Air (Mid 2022)
The M2 MacBook Air has a new design in four colorsThe M2 MacBook Air is faster than the last-gen M1 MacBook Air with an all-new design. The iconic tapered edge has been replaced with a thin, flat, and uniform chassis available in four colors.
The next-generation Apple Silicon processor has faster CPU cores and more GPU cores than the M1 it replaces. The M2 CPU clocks about 18% faster and the GPU about 35% faster.
The display has also increased in size slightly to 13.6-inches, and it has Apple's iconic notch holding a 1080p webcam. The Liquid Retina Display is as bright and colorful as ever with 500 nits of brightness and a P3 color gamut.
Other M2 MacBook Air features include:
Apple announced the M2 MacBook Air during the 2022 WWDC keynote.
M1 MacBook Air (Late 2020)
M1 MacBook Air
The late 2020 model with Apple Silicon was a big leap over its Intel predecessor. The M1 processor makes it 3.5x faster with 5x faster graphics. The updated model also added up to six hours of extra battery life.
The late 2020 MacBook Air with M1 processorThe M1 chip's balance of power and efficiency allows the new MacBook Air to be fanless, offering silent performance. The big-little layout of the eight-core processor also makes it light on power consumption. However, it can kick in the performance cores when necessary. The efficiency cores by themselves outperform the Intel Core-i3 processor.
Apart from those internal upgrades, the M1 MacBook Air looks exactly like the Intel model it replaced. That includes the improved Magic Keyboard that finally fixes the problems in Apple's old butterfly keys.
Other M1 MacBook Air features include:
Released in November 2020, the M1 MacBook Air is on sale at Apple Authorized Resellers.
Where to Find MacBook Air Deals
Apple
Unless you're a college student or military, don't expect discounts directly from AppleDon't expect to see MacBook Air sales at Apple's online or physical stores. The closest Apple gets to sales are gift-card bundles for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The company doesn't offer standard discount prices on any of its products.
However, the company does offer $100 off Macs for eligible college students. Military veterans can also take 10% off their orders. Both methods require ID verification.
You can order refurbished MacBooks from Apple. These models are in like-new condition and carry a standard warranty and return policy. They offer decent savings compared to their new counterparts.
If you have an Apple Store near you, they may price-match local competitors selling Macs for less.
Aside from these exceptions, you're more likely to find the best prices at other stores.
