The editors didn't like
Throttles and warms under heavy sustained load compared to Apple's various bigger
More expensive alternatives
Port situation could still be better
Expensive
Once you factor in attractive configuration options
Shorter battery life than 2020 M1 MacBook Air
Camera notch encroaches on display panel
Limited to two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports (though mitigated
In part
By MagSafe connector)
Price hike over M1 MacBook Air
Some right-hand side ports would have been appreciated
M2 chip delivers about 20% more performance with up to 18 hours of battery life, New design is beautiful to look at, feels great in the hand, Love that Midnight colour, 13.4 inch screen is roomy and bright, New 1080p FaceTime HD camera will make you look
Doesn't support dual external monitors, Midnight colour shows fingerprints easily, Some might not like the screen notch

superfast M2 chip, silent and cool running, extremely long battery life, great 13.6in screen, great keyboard, bestinclass trackpad, MagSafe, good speakers, good mics and webcam, lots of recycled materials, Touch ID
expensive, only two USBC ports and no USBA or SD card slot, can only drive one external display, no Centre Stage camera or Face ID
The MacBook Air has been given a thoroughly modern makeover and looks better than ever on the outside.Having founded the thin and light laptop category in 2008, the Air has always been the portable to beat. The larger 13.6in screen makes a material differ...

Larger screen, Great new design, Excellent battery life, Very good performance
Expensive, Not as good value as previous model, Gets hot when under pressure
The new MacBook Air comes with a gorgeous new design, bigger and brighter screen and improved performance. It's basically everything a creative professional would want from an upgrade - but its new (higher) price may put some people off...
Gorgeous looks, Great battery life, Superb performance
No £999 base mode, 256GB SSD is (reportedly) slow
That leaves a slightly sour taste in the mouth but the question is, does it do enough to undermine the M2 MacBook Air's overall appeal? If Apple hadn't raised the price of the base model by £250 I'd be minded to dismiss it with a wave of the hand. Alas, t...
Incredibly thin, Upgraded webcam and speakers, Shockingly good performance, Battery life stomps the competition, Screen and keyboard are world-class
