Apple today introduced the 2022 MacBook Air, which features a redesign and an updated chip. The new machine includes a MacBook Pro-like chassis, a larger display, support for more memory, and the M2 chip.<\/p>\n


Those features bring an increased price tag, with Apple selling the updated \u200cM2\u200c MacBook Air at $ 1199 for the low-end version. Typically new devices bring price cuts for older devices that stay in the lineup, but that’s not the case for the \u200cMacBook Air\u200c.<\/p>\n

Apple is continuing to sell the prior-generation M1 \u200cMacBook Air\u200c for $ 999, which is the same price as before. There have been no price cuts for the \u200cM1\u200c \u200cMacBook Air\u200c, and the lineup starts at $ 999.<\/p>\n

The \u200cM1\u200c \u200cMacBook Air\u200c is Apple’s cheapest notebook, and it has not been updated in any way. It continues to feature an 8-core \u200cM1\u200c CPU and a 7-core GPU, with no 8-core GPU option available anymore.<\/p>\n

Apple’s new entry-level \u200cM2\u200c machine that’s priced at $ 1199 features an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU, and a 256GB SSD with the upgraded version with an 8-core GPU, 10-core GPU, and 512GB SSD priced at $ 1499 .<\/p>\n

Apple is also selling the 13-inch MacBook Pro with an \u200cM2\u200c chip and that machine is priced starting at $ 1299, $ 100 more expensive than the base \u200cM2\u200c \u200cMacBook Air\u200c.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
