Tim Cook says he uses every Apple product every day -- how does that work?
Although the M1 Air was technically discontinued earlier this year, we still considered its $699 price a great value for routine computing. That being said, you should certainly skip that for the M2 upgrade if that's all you can afford. The M2 Air offers a thinner design and a notched display that's a touch brighter at 500 nits. It also features an improved 1080p webcam, a better keyboard, and a resurrected MagSafe port for charging, freeing up the second of its two USB-C / Thunderbolt ports. It's even slated to receive a number of AI-powered features via Apple Intelligence, which will arrive later in October via a software update.
