Apple recently announced the new MacBook Air, which brings with it a host of notable new features and improvements, including the company’s latest SOC, the M2. This awesome video takes a first look at the new computer and everything you can expect from it in real-world use.
Coming to you from Marques Brownlee, this great video features a first look at the new MacBook Air. The new model represents a significant upgrade to Apple’s most popular computer. Of course, the most notable upgrade is the new M2 chip with a 10-core GPU (more than a 2-core M1) and support for up to 24 GB of unified memory. Additionally, this laptop’s famous tapered shape has been replaced with a sleek, flat design.
The popular MagSafe design makes a comeback. This laptop also has two Thunderbolt ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack that supports high impedance headphones. The keyboard comes with a full-height function row with Touch ID, while the body is rounded off by the large Force Touch trackpad.
The Liquid Retina display has been expanded to 13.6 inches, supports 1 billion colors, and is now 25% brighter. Adding to that is a 1080p FaceTime HD camera and a four-speaker system. Finally, the new Air offers up to 18 hours of battery life and a 67-watt fast charge that boosts it by 50% in 30 minutes.
Check out the video above for Brownlee’s full thoughts.
