Here’s all you need to know about the Apple MacBook Air 2022.
What’s new?
The 2022 MacBook Air comes with a larger 13.6-inch display but tinier bezels on all sides. There is a notch on the display which makes the product look a lot like the new 14-inch MacBook Pro. The new Air is 11mm thick and will be available in four colours – silver, space grey, starlight gold and midnight blue.

Apple claims the laptop now has 500 nits of peak brightness on the display and the Air also comes with a silent, fan-less design. Apple suggests that the 2022 Air performs 40 per cent better than its predecessor thanks to the new M2 chip.Best of Express PremiumPremiumPremiumPremiumPremium
