Overview

Portable macOS laptop

A light 13.6-inch MacBook for everyday work, study and creative applications. Its fanless design stays quiet, although this M2 generation supports only one external display alongside the built-in screen.

  • Quiet design

    The Air uses fanless cooling, so there is no fan noise during work or media playback.

  • Slower 256 GB storage

    The 256 GB configurations use a single NAND flash chip, while 512 GB and larger configurations use several. MacRumors reports that the 256 GB model is slower in SSD benchmarks, so 512 GB is the safer choice if fast storage matters to you.

  • Colour display

    The 2560 × 1664 Liquid Retina screen supports P3 wide colour and 500-nit brightness for detailed text and photos.
