which may be called the new macbook air max the new 15-inch macbook air is going to be of the same
design as this year's new refresh but it will of course be a larger macbook with upgraded hardware
according to ming chi quo it's going to be available in two options and users are going to
have the choice of an m2 chipset or the m2 pro the m2 chip has an 8 core cpu on top of a 10 core gpu
but we're still awaiting confirmations on the new configuration of the m2 pro
while this new 15 inch macbook air is going to be an exciting release for many unfortunately
it is still in the works and it's not expected to arrive until 2023 and possibly at next year's wwdc
when it comes to the standard m2 macbook air however it's a great choice for those of you that
just want a macbook for everyday tasks and it's finally here pre-orders are already available via
apple's website and the new m2 macbook air comes with many improvements over the previous model
a benchmark has already surfaced within geekbench 5 and it shows us just how well the new m2 macbook
air performs the benchmark result we have is for the new m2 macbook air and this one has
16 gigabytes of ram and as you can see we get a single score of 1899 and a multi-core score of
8965 now these scores are higher than the previous model and they're actually very similar to that of
the 13-inch pro model and this shows us that it's a great purchase especially for those that want a
more budget-friendly offering now not only do we get a better performance with the new
m2 macbook air but we also get upgrades in design as well as other hardware
now the m2 macbook air features a larger 13.6 inch display and it's got the new notched design the
notch that we see in the top bezel is housed at the new 1080p hd facetime camera now the
display is a 13.6 inch liquid retina true tone display and it's got a resolution of 2560 x 1664.
it's an ips led display and we get a brightness of around 500 nits the overall design is very similar
to that of the pro line we get the color choices of silver starlight space grey and midnight
we get a magsafe 3 charging port along with two thunderbolt usb 4 ports and for the audio fans
we still have a three and a half millimeter audio jack we get an upgrade to the sound as well with a
built-in up four speaker sound system it supports spatial audio and wide stereo then we also get a
three microphone array for recording sound now it's all powered by a 52.6 watt hour battery
and this supports up to 18 hours of apple tv or movie playback as well as 15 hours of wireless
web it supports up to 67 watt fast charging and if you purchase the 8 core gpu version then it
comes packaged with a 30 watt power adapter but for those of you getting the 10 core gpu it then
comes packaged with a 35 watt adapter the new m2 macbook air comes with 8 gigabytes of ram
and this can be configured all the way up to 24 gigabytes and storage options start from 256
but they can be configured all the way up to 2 terabytes it comes with the backlit magic keyboard
and we get wi-fi six along with bluetooth 5 for all of your wireless needs of course the device
ships with the latest mac os and for those of you that are after a new macbook for more everyday use
then it's definitely a good one to consider now the new m2 macbook air is already available for
pre-ordering right now and the device is going to be shipping on the 15th of july now for those of
you wanting to pre-order i've placed a link down in the description below and the m2 macbook air
with an eight core gpu starts from 1199 and then the m2 macbook air with a 10 core gpu starts from
1499. now when you compare these against the pro lineup the 13 inch starts from 1209 the 14 starts
from 1999 and the 16 inch starts from 2499. so the m2 macbook air seems very well priced for
the lower end macbook and given the impressive benchmark results we've already seen then you're
still going to get a great experience along with some great performance now of course with the
device being shipped out to customers in just a couple of days it won't be long until we get the
full in-depth reviews so for those of you that are a little bit unsure at the moment then it's
