The speed tests and all that fun stuff are going to have to wait until we get to bring one of these bad boys home. In the meantime, it’s just kind of nice to be back in the show scrum after two years of social distancing. What you’ve got right here is a new-fangled MacBook Air. The M2 variety, as it were.
This is probably the strongest design departure since the line was first introduced all the way back in 2008. Fourteen years is, of course, several lifetimes in the world of consumer electronics, but iconic design is iconic design. In the Air’s case, that’s the distinct wedge element, which has been a fundamental piece of the thin-and-light laptop since Steve Jobs first pulled it out of a manilla envelope onstage at MacBook.
