Macbook Air M2

Last week’s MacBook Pro M4 announcement showcased 16GB of unified memory as a standard for base models. Now, Apple is doing the same treatment for the MacBook Air M3 and M2 models. While this is great news for many, those who recently purchased previous M3 and M2 MacBook Air models with 8GB RAM may be disappointed. Apple has just announced that its new Macbook Air with M2 chip will be available to order beginning July 8 and will be available to customers worldwide on July 15. Apple today unveiled their smallest notebook so far -- an 11.6" Macbook Air weighing in at only 2.3lbs (1.05kg). It's much lighter and thinner this time -- between 17mm to 30mm on the side -- and since it's just 11.6" diagonally, this new Macbook Air is bordering into the netbook space. Apple's $999 introductory price point targets students the same way as they positioned the white Macbook (also priced at $999). Of course, there's the usual 13.3" Macbook Air that's also been refreshed with the new unibody design and components.
