MacBook Air M2 (2022) 10-point rough cut: Everything to know about Apple’s ‘fastest’ MacBook Air

Apple launched the M2-based MacBook Air last night at WWDC 2022. While the laptop is brand new in more ways than one, it’s the underlying chip— M2— that’s particularly exciting. Apple claims that M2 takes “the industry-leading performance per watt of M1 even further with an 18% faster CPU, a 35% more powerful GPU, and a 40% faster Neural Engine.” With up to 24GB of fast unified memory, M2 is being billed to deliver up to 50% more memory bandwidth than M1. All this and a Mac based on the new chip, like the 2022 MacBook Air, still promises all-day battery life like before, a claim we look forward to testing in the coming days.
