Design
Less to carry. More to
Redesigned around the next-generation M2 chip, MacBook Air is strikingly thin and brings exceptional speed and power efficiency within its durable all-aluminum enclosure. It's the ultrafast, ultracapable laptop that lets you work, play, or create just about anything - anywhere.
2.7 pounds
0.44" thin
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.
Built to last. Puts the earth first.
As responsible as it is durable, MacBook Air features 100 percent recycled aluminum in its compact enclosure.
Performance
Prepare for takeoff.
The M2 chip starts the next generation of Apple silicon, with even more of the speed and power efficiency of M1. So you can get more done faster with a more powerful 8-core CPU. Create captivating images and animations with 8-core GPU. Work with more streams of 4K and 8K ProRes video with the high-performance media engine. And keep working - or playing - all day and into the night with up to 18 hours of battery life.
Up to 1.4x faster than M1 model
Up to 15x faster than Intel-based model

New chip. Next chapter.
M2 begins the next chapter for Apple silicon, which has transformed the Mac lineup with its blazing performance and power efficiency. The breakthrough system on a chip (SoC) architecture combines the CPU, GPU, memory, and more on a single chip so everything runs much faster - while requiring much less power.
M2 is built using an enhanced second-generation 5-nanometer technology. It features over 20 billion transistors - 25 percent more than M1. And its 16-core Neural Engine is capable of executing up to 15.8 trillion operations per second to accelerate machine learning tasks. 16GB of high-performance unified memory gives the CPU and GPU shared access to a larger memory pool. And the 100GB/s memory bandwidth - 50 percent more than M1 - makes multitasking and running multiple apps superfluid.

CPU - Let's do this.
The next-generation 8-core CPU on M2 is up to 18 percent faster than M1. So you can zip through everyday tasks like creating documents and presentations, or take on more demanding workloads like developing in Xcode or mixing tracks in Logic Pro with Spatial Audio.
Up to 18% faster
More speed for all your apps.
All your go-to apps run lightning fast in macOS - including Microsoft 365 and many of your favorite iOS apps. And with over 10,000 apps and plug-ins optimized for Apple silicon, your creative future is wide open.
All together now.
Make and receive iPhone calls on your Mac. Use your iPad as a second display. Unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch. It's like they were all made for each other. Because they were.
Speedy. Substantial. Storage.
With 256GB superfast SSD, MacBook Air lets you bring your photos, movies, music, and documents with you - and open them in a flash.
Create to your heart's content.
Thanks to the high-performance media engine on the M2 chip, you can play and edit even more streams of 4K and 8K ProRes video - including 4K ProRes video shot on iPhone 13 Pro.
Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
Apple silicon and macOS bring advanced built-in security to help defend against malware and viruses. And Mac is designed to give you the freedom to choose what you share and how you share it.
Liquid Retina display
