The 2022 MacBook Air is Apple's thin, fanless 13-inch laptop, rebuilt around the M2 chip in a squared-off aluminum body. It has a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a 1080p webcam, a four-speaker system with Spatial Audio and MagSafe charging alongside two Thunderbolt ports. The fanless design keeps it silent and the battery runs all day, which suits students, writers and office workers more than heavy editors. Against the M1 Air it adds a bigger, brighter screen and a better camera; against the 13-inch MacBook Pro it gives up the fan and sustained heavy-load performance.

Owners and reviewers rate the M2 Air as one of the best all-round thin laptops, praising its silence, battery and screen. The common complaints are the fingerprint-prone Midnight finish, the two-port limit and throttling on long exports.
The 13-inch MacBook Air (2022) is a thin laptop with an aluminum enclosure, powered by the Apple M2 chip. The M2 has an 8-core CPU, up to a 10-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. The design is fanless, so it runs silently. This model has 512GB of SSD storage and comes in Midnight.
Battery life is up to 18 hours. The Liquid Retina display reaches 500 nits of brightness and supports P3 wide color. It has a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, a three-microphone array and a four-speaker sound system with Spatial Audio. Apple states the M2 is up to 20 percent faster for applying image filters and effects, and up to 40 percent faster for editing complex video timelines.
The backlit Magic Keyboard includes Touch ID for unlocking and payment. Connections are MagSafe charging, two Thunderbolt ports, a headphone jack and Wi-Fi 6. It runs macOS Monterey and shares content between iPhone and Mac.
