Last year's MacBook Air, the first to run the new Apple Silicon, met with critical and commercial acclaim. Can Tim Cook's team improve on that with the newly released MacBook Air for 2022?
" Like the MacBook Pros, the top and bottom surfaces of the Air are flat, without the old Air’s familiar pillowy curve at the edges. The MacBook Air’s defining design feature, a wedge shape , is also gone—this MacBook Air is thin all the way through. It’s a uniform 0.44 inches thick, so thinner than the thickest part of the old Air but slightly thicker than the thin end of the wedge. The result is a laptop that’s a little lighter and takes up less volume than the previous Air did.
The big selling point of the new laptop is the coupling of the ARM-based Apple Silicon paired with a new design of MacBook. The story of the silicon over the last two years has been the ability to offer more performance, for better battery life, at cooler temperatures, compared to the Intel-based competition. Normal day-to-day activities are fine, as you would expect, but it's a shame that the MacBook Air struggles when asked to deliver on the Apple Silicon promise of performance.
One of the biggest reasons for buying any Mac is of course, Apple’s own ecosystem of hardware and software. Everything is becoming more tightly bound, and macOS is no exception. If you are already in this environment, it’s one of the biggest reasons to stay in Apple’s domain. Apple’s M1 MacBook Air set new horizons on what Tim Cook and his team could offer in a laptop. The M2 is an iteration of that vision. It offers a long-needed physical redesign of the MacBook, which many will welcome.
