MacBook Air M2 Vs. MacBook Air M1 (2022) – Detail & Specifications

According to a recent report, Apple plans to produce the standard M2 in the 5-nm production process, whereas the M2 Pro, Max, and Ultra will all see production in the 3-nm process. However, as per Ming-Chio Kuo, it doesn't look as if this will be the case – and official statements from TSMC back this up.

The M1 Mac mini has been on the market for almost two years now – and many users are already hoping for a more powerful configuration with an M1 Pro. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg reports that Apple is planning for a Mac mini with M2 and M2 Pro.

In a rather unusual manner, Apple seems to have axed the release of an already finished Mac. The Mac Pro M1 was apparently ready for the market, but Apple refrained from launching the product for tactical reasons.

As far as the current Mac lineup (apart from the Mac Pro) is concerned, Apple has indeed swapped out Intel processors in favor of its own chips – however, the MacBook Air M2 is the first truly Intel-free Mac.

iFixit just deconstructed the new MacBook Air to take a look at its interior components. Earlier generations were frequently criticized for the fact that everything was glued together – making repairs difficult to impossible. Has the situation improved?

The MacBook Air does not possess any fans, making for a quieter running experience – with the tradeoff being performance throttling (temporarily lowered clock rate) to prevent excessive heat development during operation under extended CPU and GPU load. To what extent does this affect the new M2-generation? Recent data provides an answer.

Apple has begun providing customers with information concerning the expected deliveries of their new MacBook Air M2 devices. The shipment confirmations prognosticate a timely receipt – although devices have frequently come a day early in the past.

The Mac Studio only entered the Apple lineup no more than a few months ago, however, there are already references concerning the next generation. The timing is unusual, especially given that there have been no rumors concerning any updates to the device.

Not everyone is necessarily thrilled about the fact that Apple will begin delivery of the new MacBook Air M2 in a few days. According to information from industry insider sources, one report claims that the Wintel market (Windows/Intel) sees the notebook as a threat to its own sales figures.

Upon the release of its relatives, the iMac 27” did not receive the same M1 (or even M2) chip treatment. The model disappeared entirely from the Apple lineup, with the official statement that it would be discontinued. However, various sources including Mark Gurman from Bloomberg now report that the device could in fact make a return.

Although there's yet to be an official confirmation from Apple, according to a report, this is soon to come. The MacBook Air should be available for sale as early as next week, with shipments beginning one week thereafter.

How much does it matter that the 256 GB SSD in the MacBook Pro M2 is slower than the SSD in the MacBook Pro M1? Experience reports and benchmarks provide some very clear results, with a rather sobering answer further questioning the grounds for the M2 device's very existence.

The lockdown is finally over and as of now, select press representatives may disclose their first experiences – which in this case... are quite lacking, to say the least. Apart from the new M2 chip's performance, there's plenty of criticism for the "confusing notebook".

The M1's followup has been revealed alongside the successor to the wedge-shaped MacBook Air. We've gathered together some data and specifications in order to compare the two models with one another.

At yesterday's Keynote, Apple did more than just present a completely new MacBook Air, it also revealed the first big change to its M-chips' architecture. The M1 is now followed by the M2 which brings along some conceptual changes as opposed to simply more cores. The MacBook Pro 13" will also receive an M2.

In just one week, Apple's Keynote for the Worldwide Developers Conference will take place – and although the event hasn't traditionally included new hardware announcements, Cupertino could present us with a new MacBook Air M2. However, supply chain problems will likely delay the announcement.

Following countless reports and a great deal of speculation about a new Mac mini, there are now some pretty concrete indications from Apple that the rumor mill was headed in the right direction. A new Mac mini line is mentioned in the Studio Display's firmware.

After a short relaxation, the delivery times in the Mac sector are currently looking worse again - this even affects models that were previously available immediately, such as the MacBook Air. Longer waiting times are also to be expected for other Macs.

Since the Mac Studio's start of deliveries, countless detailed test reports from select outlets have made their way out into the public. These outlets were provided with early access to stir up some excitement for the new device. The reports detail user experience, performance, handling, and noise production.

Multiple heads at Apple have explained the concept behind the Mac Studio in a new interview about the product's focus, performance, and compact design. Cupertino also explained the role that customer feedback was playing in the device's development. The Studio display was also touched on briefly during the interview.

With the new M1 Ultra having finally arrived with the Mac Studio, Apple has set the bar for Intel, AMD, and all other processor manufacturers a little bit higher – and in the process, Cupertino has given itself a little bit of a head start. Exactly how refined the new CPU concept is in terms of performance and energy efficiency is shown in a comparison of all 4 released M-chips.
