Apple today unveiled its new MacBook Air laptop during the WWDC event.
The device is only 11mm thick and weighs 2.7 pounds.
Key features include MagSafe charging, two Thunderbolt ports and a headphone jack, and Apple’s powerful new M2 processor.
“We are very excited to bring our new M2 chip to the two most popular laptops in the world: the MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing.
“Redesigned from the ground up around the M2, MacBook Air is thinner, lighter and faster with a bigger screen, better camera and all-day battery life, in four stunning finishes.”

The 2022 MacBook Air has a squarer look than its predecessors, which tend to be wedge-shaped.
It has a 13.6-inch display with 500 nits of peak brightness, with smaller bezels surrounding it than previous models.
A quiet, fanless design is likely to impress Apple fans, as is a 1080p FaceTime HD webcam.
Apple claims the MacBook Air is 40% faster than the previous model, thanks to the new M2 chip.

A new power adapter includes two USB-C ports, allowing the laptop to quickly charge to 80% in just 20 minutes.
Users can choose from four color options: silver, space gray, “star” gold, and “midnight” blue.
The MacBook Air will be available in July starting at $1,199.
“Only Apple silicon can allow you to build such a thin and light laptop with a fanless design and this combination of performance and capability,” Joswiak added.
“M2 is also available on the 13-inch MacBook Pro, with incredible performance, ProRes acceleration, up to 24GB of memory and up to 20 hours of battery life, making our most portable business laptop even better. .”
