The Apple MacBook has been one of the most popular small and light laptop series among professionals and students. The new MacBook that comes in both Air and Pro versions, announced in June at the WWDC 2022 conference, is an extension of the current-generation MacBook Pro family and features a completely new Apple-designed processor known as M2. The new MacBook Air starts at Rs. 1,19,900 in India, while the Pro starts at Rs. 1,07,973. The M2 MacBook Air has a MagSafe charging port, leaving you with two free Thunderbolt connectors, which the Air fails to have. These support the USB 4 specification, which has a maximum speed of 40Gbps. The M2 MacBook has Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and a slightly larger 52.6Wh battery, although the claimed video playback time remains the same at up to 18 hours.

Display and design
The new MacBook Air supports up to a 6K external display at 60Hz. The bezels on the top and sides of the display have been reduced, allowing Apple to fit a slightly taller and larger 13.6-inch LED-backlit panel with a resolution of 2560x1664 pixels. In addition, the brightness has improved by 100 nits when compared to the M1 Air's 400. The M2 MacBook Air's display also features a notch, similar to the MacBook Pro models, to allow an enhanced 1080p FaceTime camera. The Pro, on the other hand, has a slightly smaller screen of 13.3 inches, but with the same LED-backlit panel.

Battery life
The new Mac M2 came with a 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Power Adapter, which is standard with models with a 10-core GPU and 512GB storage. The advantage of this adapter is that it allows you to plug in another device at the same time, such as an iPhone. The regular Air M2 costs about 91k and comes with a 30W USB-C power converter, but you can upgrade to a twin charger for 1.5k. The M2 MacBook Air includes a MagSafe charging port, leaving two Thunderbolt ports available. On the other side of the ports, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack that works with high-impedance headphones. These support the USB 4 specification, which has a maximum bandwidth of 40 GBPS. The Pro does not have any ports and charges only via USB cables.
