Fast and Thin

The MacBook Air is a wonderful option of laptop for anyone who finds portability crucial. The 2022 model only ways 2.7 pounds and is strikingly thin in its design. Despite it’s sleek size and shape, it’s the laptop is just as capable as ever — having been built on the M2 chipset. the 8-core CPU along with the up to 10-core GPU and 24GB of memory leads to high performance in an impossibly thin form factor. It’s up to 1.4 times faster than the MacBook Air with the M1 chip and a staggering 12 times faster than the Intel-based MacBook Air.

The battery is designed to be used in long stretches of work time without issue, reaching up to 18 hours in a single charge. Spend a lot of time on work calls with Zoom? The front facing camera is capable of 1080p video and uses a three-mic array to makes sure when it picks up your audio, it comes through crisp and clear.

The backlit keyboard features touch ID, making sign on simple and easy, while still being secure. Just use your fingerprint to quickly let the MacBook Air know it’s you trying to log in.

Connections are fast and easy with the two thunderbolt ports along the side. The MagSafe port keeps the battery charger securely fit to the side of the laptop. And the headphone jack is perfect for folks like me who refuse to let go of our old headphones, preferring the wired connection. iPhone users have an easy time passing files, texts, and more easily between their MacBook Air and other Apple devices.

Choose between colorways of midnight, silver, or space gray and save 20% — bringing the price down to just $799. The MacBook Air is also available in starlight for 15% off at $849.
