apple's new m2 macbook air is looking incredible and i'll be sharing the details right after this!
today we've got plenty of news to share about the upcoming refresh of apple's macbook air including
its specs and design before we get started though please like the video if you're a fan of apple
let me know in the comments what country you're watching today's video from if you haven't already
then hit subscribe now so you don't miss a thing in the future so the macbook air is very popular
for those of you that don't need the power of the pro or don't want to spend the extra money
with the switch to apple's own chipset the macbook air is now even better than before when it comes
to the design of the new macbook air according to john prosser it's not going to be tapered and
it's going to be much thinner overall and it's only just going to fit in the usb type-c port
Jon Prosser advises that the new macbook air is going to have white bezels around the display
and a white magic keyboard with full size function keys and thanks to the larger keys the trackpad
has now had to be reduced in size mark german has also advised that apple is reducing the
bezels around the display and this can provide a 13.3" display with a smaller overall footprint
so it's retaining the same size display but with a full-size keyboard when it comes to the underneath
of the macbook air we're also losing the full rubber feet we had before and it's instead going
to be replaced with two long vertical strips on the bottom when it comes to colors Jon Prosser
advises that they'll be going very similar to the new imacs and producing the macbook air in
all of the same colors or at least very close and we'll be seeing the magsafe charger make a return
to the macbook air according to reliable analyst ming chi kuo the new macbook air is also going to
feature a 13.3 inch mini led display this brings significant improvements in display quality and
it allows for not only a much thinner display but one with higher contrast and more dynamic range
it's important to note however that it's still an lcd display and it's not OLED technology
when it comes to the chipset powering the device is believed that the new macbook air is going to
harness apple's new chipset mark german stated that the new chipset is going to be an improved
version of the current m1 chip while it's going to feature the same amount of high performance cores
it will have improved graphics according to mark german the new chip has been codenamed staton and
it's going to have the same number of cores as the m1 but it will run faster so we can assume higher
clock speeds mark german also advises that the number of graphics cause is increasing from the
previous seven to eight nine or even ten cores he also states that with the new macbook pros
the lower end model is also going to be using the same chip we also have a new tweet from
dylan on twitter and he claims that the macbook air is going to be powered by apple's m2 chipset
while the macbook pros are going to be using the m1x so this is kind of confusing but the thoughts
here are that there could be a new m1x is the premium upgrade to the m1 and that's going to come
out later this year then at the start of next you will see the m2 and this is more powerful than the
m1 but not as powerful as the m1x and then we'll have the m2x which can be the pro successor at the
end of next year of course this is just leaks and it seems a little bit confusing when apple
tend to keep things simple so we'll have to wait and see on the naming and see if this is correct
i'm not too familiar with dylan but he has correctly predicted some product launches in
the past so take with a grain of salt for now but it could well be the case
when it comes to the release date there are still many sources claiming that we could
see the new macbook air in the second half of this year but that's not likely to be the case
most sources believe we'll see the refresh of the macbook air at the start of 2022 and it
does seem the most likely we've got no details on exact dates it's likely to be around march
considering the previous release was november so for those of you excited for the new macbook air
we're now going to run through the specs design and the expected pricing to help you guys decide
if this could be the macbook for you so with the new macbook air we get a 13.3 inch mini led 120
hertz display with a native resolution of around 2560 by 1600 we should see a similar ppi so that's
227 pixels per inch and it will keep the true tone technology we're expecting another single
camera above the display and this is likely going to be a 720p facetime camera and it's also going
to have a touch id sensor on the keyboard it's going to be powered by the upgraded apple chip
which is going to be called either the m2 or the m1x but as i said we will update on that soon we
get a choice from 8 to 16 gigs of configurable ram and a choice from 256 to 2 terabytes of storage
given that it's a similar size to the previous models we're expecting a 50 watt hour battery
and thanks to apple's optimizations it's going to provide around 18 hours of battery life it's
going to come with usbc thunderbolt utilize wi-fi 6 and have bluetooth 5. it's going to come in a
wide range of colors similar to the imax we're expecting prices to be similar to the previous
versions meaning for 8 gigs of ram and 256 gig storage we can expect it to start from around 999
but overall the new macbook air is looking incredible it's going to be more powerful
than the predecessor and also come with a better design in multiple different colors for those of
you that don't need the macbook pro but do still want a macbook it's got a valued space in the
market and it's no doubt going to be popular with launch expected to be in the first half of 2022
it's not long until we're going to see the macbook air from apple but as always i'd
like to know your thoughts in the comments so who out there is excited for the new macbook
air and who is planning on purchasing one but thanks for watching the video if you liked it
