Hello, how are you? I am the original huh, click on the attention, more exciting content waiting for you!

It's been 14 years since the first MacBook Air came out, and Apple's design has remained pretty much the same. However, recently Apple unveiled a new MacBook Air with some groundbreaking internal improvements.

This time around, the MacBook Air has been completely redesigned and after a week of use, the feedback from users has been favorable. It's extremely thin and light, priced at $7,999, and like the M1 MacBook Air, lasts for days and offers great performance.

But this new product also goes into the future. Compared to the other standouts in the modern Mac laptop lineup, Apple's MacBook Air stands out. Its look takes on the design of the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro, with a larger screen and narrower bezels. Let's take a look at this transformation together.

Stylish, sleek and ultra-portable design

The new MacBook Air has been completely reinvented inside and out, and even with this new design, it still lives up to its "Air" name. Even with this new design, it lives up to its "Air" name. weighing just 2.7 pounds and measuring 0.44 inches thin, the M2 model is lighter than the M1 MacBook Air and thinner than its thickest point at 0.63 inches.

This redesigned machine is extremely lightweight and portable in use, easily adapting to carry or handheld operation. Whether in a backpack or a handbag, there is no need to really feel its presence.

What's even more exciting is the high-quality aluminum construction, which is soft to the touch. Available in four different colors, including dark sky grey and silver, it also comes in "midnight" and "starlight" options. In the right light, it also shimmers slightly. It's also fingerprint-resistant, with a reflective, glossy Apple logo on the top shell that looks like solid gold.

It's worth noting that this MacBook Air doesn't display "MacBook Air" anywhere; the 13-inch MacBook Pro and M1 Air still have their logos below the screen, while the new Air follows the lead of the newer Pro line.

Like the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, this MacBook Air marks the return of MagSafe to the "Air" lineup. It comes in the form of the MagSafe 3, a braided cable that matches the color of the MacBook Air, with the MagSafe port located on the left side, near the two USB-C ports.

The MagSafe is as pleasant and easy to use as ever. The port has a circular LED indicator, orange for charging and green for fully charged. The high-impedance headphone jack is located on the right side and is another striking port on the device. Like the M1 MacBook Air, this is a completely fanless device.

In terms of controls and inputs, the MyoControl keyboard with a full-size function row is equipped here. The design of the function row is more familiar and also makes it easier to find the required keys. The pointing pad has a larger operating area for a robust typing experience, and the keys don't feel like they're bottoming out. However, the half-key arrow layout is still retained. Despite the lack of control over the keyboard's backlighting, you can adjust it in the system preferences.

In the upper right corner of the keyboard is the Touch ID sensor, which is fast and easy to log in. The trackpad is quite spacious, making it easy to move between windows, edit in Photoshop or Pixelmator Pro, and scroll the timeline in Final Cut Pro.

This time, MacBook Air is not only refreshed in appearance, but also achieves satisfying achievements in performance and user experience, bringing users a brand new experience.

Immersive display with better cameras

There's a sea change here. instead of a thick black bezel around the 13-inch screen, the 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display has thinner bezels at the top, left, and right. The physical screen is closer to the edge, allowing for a more expansive display. Not only does this create a more immersive feel in everyday use, the look is more refined as well.

Apple's Liquid Retina display delivers vibrant, vivid colors, enhanced by contrast dots and deep tones. While it's still a 60Hz display and doesn't support the ultra-high 120Hz refresh rate, it probably won't be an issue for most users unless using a 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro. The display also has the necessary technical specifications, such as support for P3 wide color gamut and the ability to reach 500 nits of brightness.

When used outdoors in direct sunlight or under extremely bright fluorescent lighting, the display will make a significant difference in brightness. Apple claims it is 25% brighter than the M1, but the actual brightness may be higher. This makes it capable of handling a wide range of viewing conditions, including use in poor lighting.

Now, just like the Face ID-equipped iPhone, Apple's MacBook Air comes with a bangs. By shrinking the bezel, Apple had to relocate the built-in camera. As we've seen on the 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro, they kept a notch in the top center of the display. As a result, it may be slightly diminished, but most users probably won't find it intrusive or it will grow to be accepted, much like bangs or pinhole cameras on smartphones.

If you think this is a trade-off, then it's definitely a worthwhile one. That's because the bangs house a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, which means FaceTime calls will be clearer. The increased performance of the camera hardware and the improvements brought about by the Apple M2 chip's image signal processor allow for a better experience with video calls, PhotoBooth, and other apps that use the camera.

M2 Provides adequate speed

While the M2 MacBook Air isn't the first Mac to feature Apple's M2 chip, it is the first Mac to be completely fanless.

The M2-equipped MacBook Air I tested is powered by a chip with an 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and a 16-core neural engine. Configurations include 8GB of RAM and 512GB of solid state storage. The only difference compared to the $8,999 version is that the M2 chip has only an 8-core GPU and is paired with 256GB of solid state storage.

As a result, the graphics performance in this configuration is even more powerful for creative tasks, on par with the base 13-inch MacBook Pro. That's the same M2 chip that Apple offers in its highest configuration.

Performance on the M2 MacBook Air is remarkably smooth. It's a significant leap forward from the M1 Air, with faster app opening, higher benchmark scores, faster video rendering, and overall smoother use. Using our own chips really improves the Mac's performance.

In my tests, there was no noticeable difference in performance when compared to the 13-inch MacBook Pro. They're both powered by the same chip, with the only difference being that one comes with active cooling while the other doesn't.

It's also a testament to the performance gains compared to the M1, especially when it comes to more intensive tasks, which are even more significant when compared to a Mac with an Intel processor. This redesigned MacBook Air gives you a completely modern piece of gear.

Now is the perfect time to upgrade. In addition to the performance improvements and accolades that the M2 brings, the extra-long battery life is a key selling point. Combined with the overall thin and lightweight design, this adds to the headache. While I have yet to conduct a formal battery test, I can tell you that the M2 Air easily supports a full day of work.

Lastly, it's worth noting that you can also quickly charge your MacBook Air using the 67-watt plug. In my tests, I boosted the battery from 1% to 52% in about 30 minutes, which matches Apple's estimate.

A modern MacBook for everyone

The MacBook Air with the M2 chip is, without a doubt, a truly modern Mac, and while it may not be designed for professionals who want a high-refresh-rate Mini LED display or lots of ports, it brings an update to the core lineup for everyone. It's definitely a great choice for college students, parents, grandparents, or anyone who just wants a portable Mac that can do almost anything.

It's my favorite Mac in a long time, if not my favorite in the current lineup. The M2 chip-powered MacBook Air stands out with an ultraportable design that not only doesn't weigh you down, but also boasts a closer-to-bezel-less display, a great keyboard, an upgraded webcam, and a host of other compelling features.

At a price of $8,999, I firmly believe this is a good value purchase. For most users, you'll be pleased with its modern design, better display, and webcam. This M2 chip-powered MacBook Air is definitely a futuristic computer.
