If you were hoping for a MacBook Air available in all the colours of the rainbow, then I am here to disappoint. That makes it thinner than an iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard attached, making this Apple’s most portable mobile workstation. It weighs 1.24kg (compared to the 1.6kg MacBook Pro 14-inch) and has a height of just 1.13cm. Previous to this, I had been carrying around a MacBook Pro in my bag and slipping this in instead reminds me of what makes the Air range so special. This might not be the thinnest laptop around, but it’s overall thinner than the previous model and is incredibly portable as a result. The design is sleek and tasteful, and it’s a lot more portable than the thick-in-comparison 14 and 16-inch versions. It has a boxier look than before, with the iconic wedge design (that has been a hallmark of the Air series ever since Steve Jobs initially pulled it out of an envelope on stage) ditched. The MacBook Air M2 (2022) mimics the pricier MacBook Pro 14 and 16 siblings when it comes to the overall design.

Originally launched in 2021, there are still no concrete rumours as to when a newer model might arrive and it could be early 2023 when an M3 update gets revealed. After 2020’s big switch to the M1 chip, it’s now the time for the MacBook Air to pick up a big redesign while inheriting some of the MacBook Pro 14’s tricks.

It’s an iconic machine, but one that has often been left without big upgrades in the past. The Air series has been Apple’s most popular line of computers for years. The MacBook Air M2 (2022) is one of the more affordable models in the transition, and it’s a fantastic machine.
