MACBOOK AIR M2 8C CPU 10C GPU 15IN 8GB 512GB SILVER

Introduction

Impressively big.

Impossibly thin.

The new 15-inch MacBook Air makes room for more of what you love with a spacious Liquid Retina display. And with the 13-inch model, you have more reasons than ever to choose Air. Supercharged by the M2 chip — and with up to 18 hours of battery life1 — both laptops deliver blazing-fast performance in an ultraportable design.
