MacBook Air 13- and 15-inch with M2 – Apple

Impressively big.
Impossibly thin. The new 15‑inch MacBook Air makes room for more of what you love with a spacious Liquid Retina display. And with the 13‑inch model, you have more reasons than ever to choose Air. Supercharged by the M2 chip — and with up to 18 hours of battery life¹ — both laptops deliver blazing-fast performance in an ultraportable design.

MacBook Air is all you — pick your size, pick your color, then go. Whichever model you choose, it’s built with the planet in mind, with a durable 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosure. And a fanless design means it stays silent even under intense workloads.
Whether you pick the 13- or 15‑inch laptop, both models are superlight and measure just under half an inch thin, so you can take yours anywhere.

Your options are out of this world — and each one comes with a matching MagSafe charging cable.
The M2 chip brings more speed to everything you do — whether you’re editing a video for class, collaborating on a business plan, or streaming a show while you shop online. And with all-day battery life, you can leave the power adapter at home.
Compared to a PC laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor, MacBook Air delivers up to 2x faster performance,⁴ up to 50 percent faster web browsing,⁵ and up to 50 percent longer battery life.⁶
Take flight.
Apple silicon 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.
The M2 chip 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.
Let’s do this.
The 8‑core CPU on M2 is up to 18 percent faster than M1.⁷ So you can zip through everyday tasks like creating documents and presentations, or take on more demanding workloads like developing in Xcode or mixing tracks in Logic Pro with Spatial Audio.
Make it pretty. Fast.
With up to a 10‑core GPU, M2 delivers a big boost in graphics performance — up to 35 percent faster than M1⁷ — for everything from color correcting photos to editing 4K and 8K video.

Compatibility. With thousands of apps optimized for Apple silicon, all your favorites will run lightning fast on macOS, including Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Google Suite. And regular, free macOS software updates keep things running smoothly.
Mac is designed to be just as easy to learn as iPhone. And whether you’re chatting with friends in Messages, transferring files with AirDrop, or locating devices with Find My — when you use Mac with iPhone, they work even better together.
With iCloud, you can store all your photos, contacts, and documents so they’re available on all your devices. Start a to-do list on your iPhone and check off items on your Mac — and so much more.
Easily move files, apps, and more from your old PC or Mac. And if you need any help, Apple Support is always just an online chat, phone call, or in-store appointment away.
Mac comes with apps like FaceTime, Freeform, Photos, and Keynote that let you get to work creating and collaborating on your next big idea.
It’s not just MacBook Air. Every Mac is designed to be this easy, powerful, and amazing.
The Liquid Retina display on MacBook Air is a sight to behold, with support for 1 billion colors and up to 2x the resolution of comparable PC laptops. Photos and videos pop with rich contrast and sharp detail, and text appears supercrisp for easy reading.
Look your best with the 1080p FaceTime HD camera, whether you’re catching up with friends and family or collaborating with coworkers around the globe.
Come through loud and clear on calls wherever you are, thanks to the three-mic array with advanced beamforming algorithms to capture clean audio.
The speakers on MacBook Air support Spatial Audio along with Dolby Atmos, so you can enjoy three-dimensional soundstages for music and movies.
The 13-inch MacBook Air comes with a four-speaker sound system — combining two woofers with two tweeters for entertainment on the go.
The 15‑inch MacBook Air has a six-speaker sound system — combining two pairs of force-cancelling woofers with two tweeters for twice the bass depth.¹⁸
Touch ID. One touch is all it takes to securely unlock your MacBook Air, make payments, and more. Touch ID also helps eliminate the need to remember passwords.
The comfortable and quiet backlit Magic Keyboard comes with full-height function keys and Touch ID, which gives you a fast, easy, and secure way to unlock your Mac and sign in to apps and sites — all at the touch of a finger.
The MagSafe charging cable easily attaches and detaches with magnets, preventing any unintended flights. Two Thunderbolt ports let you connect high-speed accessories and charge your Mac. You can also connect up to a 6K display. And the headphone jack supports high‑impedance headphones.
