The Apple 13" MacBook Air now features the Apple M2 chip, which has many improvements over its predecessor, the M1. The Apple M2 integrates the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, I/O, and more into a single system on a chip (SoC), this time utilizing 2nd-Gen 5nm process technology. Tackle your projects with the fast 8-Core CPU and take on graphics-intensive apps and games with the 10-core GPU. Accelerate machine learning tasks with the 16-core Neural Engine. The M2 features a 100 GB/s memory bandwidth and was also designed to speed up video workflows by adding a next-gen media engine and a powerful ProRes video engine for hardware-accelerated encode and decode. This means the M2 can play back more streams of 4K and 8K video. Complete with a silent, fanless design and up to 18 hours of battery life, the MacBook Air is still portable, but now a lot more powerful. It also has 16GB of unified RAM and a 256GB SSD.
Since MacBooks cannot be upgraded after purchase, always configure them with enough RAM and storage to last 5+ years. Apple Silicon (M-series chips) run incredibly cool and fast, making the fanless MacBook Air the best choice for most people. Available from $1,199.
MacBooks have a high upfront cost but retain their resale value exceptionally well compared to Windows laptops. Total cost of ownership often includes AppleCare+ and an eventual battery replacement.
Common Failure Modes
Because everything (RAM, SSD) is soldered to the motherboard, single component failures require replacing the entire logic board. Screen damage from debris closed in the lid and battery degradation are the most common physical issues.
