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.

Four stellar finishes.
MacBook Air comes in four gorgeous finishes — each with
its own matching MagSafe charging cable.

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.몭

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 up to a 10‑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.

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. Up to 24GB 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.
