Gone is the famous wedge profile the MacBook Air has had since birth in favour of a uniformly flat shape that’s the same thickness from front to back and a little more rounded in the corners. The most obvious change this year is to the overall design. And that means it’s still the best laptop in its category – by a distance. It may not make as big a statement as the original M1 MacBook Air in its day, but it is a better laptop (with one caveat) across the board. M2 Apple MacBook Air (2022) review: What you need to knowĭoes this mean the M2 MacBook Air is a bad laptop? Absolutely not. After its predecessor was received with such universal acclaim when it first launched, it was perhaps inevitable the M2 wouldn’t be welcomed with such enthusiasm. Concerns over performance have been expressed about Apple’s latest lightweight laptop, particularly at the base model’s SSD, as well as the significant rise in price. What has perhaps been surprising is that not all the coverage has been positive. That’s not particularly noteworthy: the follow-up to what has been the best laptop in recent memory – the M1 MacBook Air ( £949) – was bound to attract more than its fair share. The redesigned M2 MacBook Air has had hundreds of thousands of words dedicated to it in recent weeks across a multitude of reviews and news stories.
