The MacBook Air 2, Apple's latest device, has a faster chip, but its real appeal is its larger, brighter screen and improved webcam.

In her report, published by the American Wall Street Journal, author Nicole Nguyen said that the MacBook Air 2 is one of the thinnest and lightest computers in the world, and comes with a number of features that include longer battery life.

The MacBook Air 2 gained popularity as a functional laptop several years ago.

A change occurred in 2020 when Apple released a new version of the company's first chip, the M1.

The MacBook Air 2 runs significantly faster, quieter, and cooler than older versions of the Intel system, and unlocks almost instantaneously.

Apple says the new MacBook Air 2 with M2 (M2) is capable of professional-quality 4K and 8K video editing.

The external improvements of this device are the center of its true attraction, in terms of its larger and brighter screen, and a larger top row of keys.

There are two classes of MacBook Air 2, a basic model that starts at $1,199 and a model with more storage and better graphics capabilities that starts at $1,499. The device is also offered in different colors, including classic silver and space gray.

People shopping for a new MacBook can choose between faster and faster (the new M2 Air).

Here are the most important improvements that Apple made to the new version:

Safer charger

The MacBook Pro M1 Pro includes a magsafe charger.

It is a magnetic charger that separates from the device in case anyone pulls the cable, thus reducing the possibility of your computer falling to the ground.

Bigger screen, less weight

The screen measures 13.6 inches diagonally.

And thanks to its improved bright illumination, it's easy to look at the outdoors.

The new version is also a little lighter than the previous version.

HD webcam and better speakers

The new version has a 1080p camera, which has a clearer picture.

The improved integrated audio system, which now supports media compatible with surround and spatial sound technologies, is better than the M1 Air, but performs lower compared to a range of Bluetooth headphones or speakers.

A row of high-performance keys

The top row of the keyboard, where the volume controls are located, is now full-size.

The larger touch sensor is great, so unlocking the computer, allowing payment and password manager authentication is faster and easier.

The company says video editing on the M2 is 15 times faster than on the Air that is powered by an Intel processor.

The M2 is capable of seamlessly handling hours of 4K video clips.

The writer explained that the device started to slow down when opening 75 tabs in the Chrome browser.

In colleague Joanna's review, the M1 Air started to slow down when 65 tabs were open and the older Intel-powered Air model started accelerating the cooling fans when 35 tabs were open.

The writer stated that the battery rating of the "M2" is the same as the "M1", up to 15 hours of web browsing and 18 hours of watching movies on the Apple TV application.

With a full day of work, the battery lasted for more than 10 hours including hours of video calls, writing emails and documents, and switching between Instagram, Twitter and Reddit.

Should you update your device?

Price-conscious buyers should consider getting the M1 MacBook Air as Apple sells the refurbished devices for as low as $849.

For most Mac users, if your current computer is slow and you want to be part of the Apple system because you own an iPhone, iPad, or any other Apple device, the M1 MacBook Air It is a worthwhile upgrade.

Unless you're thinking of doing any work in Photoshop or Final Cut Pro, you don't have to go all the way up to a 10-core GPU.

The author recommends upgrading the storage capacity to 512 GB if you intend to keep your computer for more than 3 years.

The latest version of Air does not include facial recognition, you cannot upgrade memory or storage after purchase, and there is no right side USBBC port.

Nevertheless, the author sees it as a trustworthy MacBook.
