Is the M2 Air worth it over the M1 Air?

Yes for most buyers. The M2 brings a larger 13.6-inch screen, a better webcam, MagSafe charging and a newer design. The M1 remains capable and cheaper if budget matters more than those upgrades.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?

No. Memory and SSD are soldered to the logic board, so choose 16 GB or more and a larger drive at purchase. The 16 GB in this configuration is a sensible minimum for years of use.

How does it compare with the 13-inch MacBook Pro M2?

The Air is lighter, silent and has a bigger screen with the same M2 chip. The Pro adds a fan for sustained heavy loads and a Touch Bar, which matters only for long exports or compiles.

No. It is completely fanless, so it stays silent but can throttle during very long heavy tasks such as extended video exports.

The laptop, a USB-C to MagSafe 3 charging cable and a 35W dual USB-C power adapter. No mouse or sleeve is included.

How many external displays can it drive?

One external display up to 6K at 60Hz with the lid open. Closed-lid setups can drive more, but require a workaround.

Our take on the Apple MacBook Air 13.6-inch 2022 M2

The 2022 MacBook Air is Apple's fanless thin-and-light laptop, rebuilt around the M2 chip with a 13.6-inch 2560 x 1664 Liquid Retina screen, a 1080p webcam and MagSafe charging. It is silent under load, weighs 2.7 lb and Apple rates battery life at up to 18 hours. Reviewers call it the best all-round laptop for most people, though the 256 GB base storage and 60Hz panel are the usual sticking points against Windows rivals that offer more storage and higher refresh rates for similar money.
