This entire laptop is more than capable, and you’ll view it all on an expansive 13.6-inch Liquid Retina Display that gets quite bright and stretches to the edges. Streaming a movie, FaceTiming with a friend (and using the upgraded 1080pHD webcam), or editing photos is excellent here.
While the wedged design that Steve Jobs famously unveiled out of a manila envelope isn’t here, the more modern, boxy design is still under an inch thick and weighs in at 2.7-pounds. It’s still incredibly portable, and you can easily hold it with just one hand. We’re preferential to the new Starlight color, which is a mix of gold and silver.
The M2 MacBook Air also boasts more ports, including a MagSafe slot, two USB-C ports, and a headphone jack. Those looking for an HDMI port or an SD card slot must look at a 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro.
$100 off the M2 MacBook Air is a great deal and represents the lowest price we’ve seen yet. You can see our full review of the M2 MacBook Air here, but if you’re looking for a laptop that looks modern and can handle nearly any task, it’s well worth a look.
