Apple's new MacBook Air

laptops

with the M2 chip will hit the market on

July 15

and can be reserved starting this Friday,

July 8

, through its website.

The

company

presented these devices at the beginning of June in the framework of the

Apple Worldwide Developers Conference

(WWDC), broadcast live and presented by its CEO, Tim Cook.

These

laptops

feature a slim design (11.2mm thick and 1.2kg in weight) and are equipped with a 13.6-inch

Liquid Retina

display capable of 500 nits of brightness and 25% more brighter than the previous generation

MacBook Air

.

In addition, this renewed

MacBook Air

will be, along with the new

MacBook Pro

, the company's first team to integrate the new M2 chips, which promise to offer

greater energy efficiency

compared to the M1 models.

Then, the company did not indicate a specific date for the availability of the

product

, but it did say that they could be reserved and purchased on its website and

official distributors

from July.

These teams, which will go on sale at a

price of 1,519 euros

(1,404 euros in case of belonging to the educational field) can be reserved from this Friday.

THE FIRST EQUIPMENT THAT INTEGRATES THE M2 CHIP

Successor to the M1 launched in 2020, the M2 ushers in the

second generation of Apple's M-series chips

with higher performance.

To begin with, it includes a

latest generation 8-core

CPU that incorporates improvements in dedicated performance and efficiency.

In addition, it

has a 10-core GPU

, two more than the previous model.

The chip also promises

100 GB/s of unified memory bandwidth

, in addition to supporting up to 24 GB of high-speed unified memory.

Thanks to this, the M2 aspires to be able to process

even larger and more complex

workloads .

As an example,

Apple

has pointed out that, with M2, the editing process in Final Cut Pro is about 40% faster than in the previous generation of processors.

Plus, working with other programs like

Adobe Photoshop

is also 20 percent faster.

Incorporating a

next-generation

media engine

and another video accessory, ProRes, the new chip promises hardware-accelerated

video encoding and decoding .

By extension, the equipment that integrates the M2 is capable of reproducing more video sequences in

4K and 8K

quality than the previous generation.

The Cupertino company has also highlighted that the redesigned

MacBook Air

with the M2 chip is capable of maintaining the same autonomy despite performing more complex tasks a priori.

Among them,

play 18 hours of video

uninterrupted.
