Only two USB-C ports, M2 SoC can only support one external display
I know this wasn't a horribly technical or geeky review. I have some very simple uses for this laptop, but even with just very basic use, the new M2 MacBook Air has some very nice features that make it a fantastic laptop for our home usage. I didn't need...

Abstract: Apple in July released the redesigned MacBook Air, one of the first machines to feature the second-generation M2 chip. MacRumors videographer Dan has been using the new MacBook on a daily basis, so we thought we'd do a deep dive into his experience for M...
slim, high-quality case, good input devices, silent operation, brighter display with P3 and no PWM, very good speakers, long battery life at 150 Nits, good system performance, MagSafe

Sleek style packs potent M2 chipset, Lengthy battery life, Great display, Welcome return of MagSafe charging
Gets expensive when you add memory and storage, Display notch could be frustrating, Only official support for one external display
It's clear that Apple has done more than just change the external look of the new MacBook Air, though some of my lingering frustrations do remain. The absence of an embedded 4G/5G modem, for example, and the fact you're limited to a single external displa...
Abstract: The Macbook Air released in 2022 is the direct replacement to the Macbook Air of 2020 (opens in new tab) and, while it looks incredibly similar to its predecessor, it has been redesigned and is now powered by a more powerful M2 CPU chip (rather than 2020'...

In review: Apple MacBook Air M2 EntryThe new MacBook Air M2 is undoubtedly once again a very good mobile companion, but we are still a little bit disappointed on a very high level, which is definitely connected with the increased price point. The new chas...
