The 2022 MacBook Air offers an all-new design, the M2 chip, and a new notched display. It also has a price bump. Is it worth buying?
represents a big design change compared to the previous generation, in more ways than one. For starters, Apple has gotten rid of the edge shape that had defined the laptop since its creation almost 15 years ago. That, however, isn’t necessarily a bad thing — the device is still super thin and super light, and easy to slip into a bag or backpack. In fact, it’s thinner than the previous generation at its thickest point, and as a result, feels thinner to carry.
Generally, I love the look and feel of the 2022 MacBook Air. Some may miss the tapered look, but I’m happy with what Apple has done here.Speaking of the keyboard and touchpad, they’re both excellent. You would expect nothing less from an Apple-built touchpad — the touchpad here is big, responsive, and high-quality. Apple is still simply head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to the touchpad, and it shows here.The keyboard is excellent on this laptop too.
Let’s get this out of the way — the notch doesn’t matter. The only thing that it cuts into is the menu bar, and I don’t use that many apps that have that many menu items. Those that do will find that the menu items simply pop up on the other side of the notch. It’s fine.The display quality is quite good. It’s a little brighter than the last-generation model, at 500-nits compared to 400-nits.
