Impressively big. Impossibly thin. The new 15‑inch MacBook Air makes room for more of what you love with a spacious Liquid Retina display. And with the 13‑inch model, you have more reasons than ever to choose Air. Supercharged by the M2 chip — and with up to 18 hours of battery life — both laptops deliver blazing-fast performance in an ultraportable design.

Design
Your choice. Your Air.
MacBook Air is all you — pick your size, pick your color, then go. Whichever model you choose, it’s built with the planet in mind, with a durable 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosure. And a fanless design means it stays silent even under intense workloads.
Two perfect sizes.
Whether you pick the 13- or 15‑inch laptop, both models are superlight and measure just under half an inch thin, so you can take yours anywhere.
Four stellar colors.
Your options are out of this world — and each one comes with a matching MagSafe charging cable.
Performance
Incredible speed and battery life?

Up to12xfaster than fastest Intel‑based MacBook Air
Up to18 hrsbattery life
The M2 chip brings more speed to everything you do — whether you’re editing a video for class, collaborating on a business plan, or streaming a show while you shop online. And with all-day battery life, you can leave the power adapter at home.
Compared to a PC laptop with an Intel Core i7 processor, MacBook Air delivers up to 2x faster performance, up to 50 percent faster web browsing, and up to 50 percent longer battery life.
Take flight.
Apple silicon has transformed the Mac lineup with its blazing performance and power efficiency. The breakthrough system on a chip (SoC) architecture combines the CPU, GPU, memory, and more on a single chip so everything runs much faster — while requiring much less power.
The M2 chip is built using an enhanced second-generation 5‑nanometer technology. It features over 20 billion transistors — 25 percent more than M1. And its 16-core Neural Engine is capable of executing up to 15.8 trillion operations per second to accelerate machine learning tasks. Up to 24GB of high-performance unified memory gives the CPU and GPU shared access to a larger memory pool. And the 100GB/s memory bandwidth — 50 percent more than M1 — makes multitasking and running multiple apps superfluid.

CPU
Let’s do this.
The 8‑core CPU on M2 is up to 18 percent faster than M1. So you can zip through everyday tasks like creating documents and presentations, or take on more demanding workloads like developing in Xcode or mixing tracks in Logic Pro with Spatial Audio.
GPU
Make it pretty. Fast.
With up to a 10‑core GPU, M2 delivers a big boost in graphics performance — up to 35 percent faster than M1 — for everything from color correcting photos to editing 4K and 8K video.
